It wasn't so much a leak as someone putting two and two together and the cat getting out of the bag. Anyway, this is a nonsense argument in the context of the thread. They tried to keep things quiet by limiting the size of the circle,

I think in a tightly bound organization where all incentives are well aligned, that can be true.

It's not clear to me what the best approach is here. The wider the circle of those who know, the more likely it is that there will eventually be a leak. Three can keep a secret if two are dead and all that.

It's the same result as Google apparently observed across their fleet. It doesn't seem like it should be that odd.

I guess if they made an explicit statement that they will comply with embargoes going forward, they'll be able to correct the record. But I don't see that that has happened. Lots of egos have to get out of the way, maybe?

Besides that one forum post yesterday from someone whose m1.medium instance slowed down, what other cases do we know of? If it's just a single person who has observed a slowdown, I'd say this worked out quite well overall.

I think for something this big, the foreseeable effects would be priced in by now. But, I'm no finance expert. I could be wrong.

Given the news did not seriously affect the price of the stock (3-4% is a little more than typical volatility, but not much), it seems like his defense would be very simple. "I did not consider this to be material non-public informatio

Most of the time, they won't need it. When they do, they'll need to make the case to you explicitly. Some phone apps currently do this when they need a non-obvious permission.

Presumably they are aware of this. If they reduce the data rate enough, the attack becomes less useful in practice. Presumably their engagements with security researchers and other browser vendors, along with internal experimentation, led t

A lot of conferences occur at hotels, and most hotels do not have gender segregated pools. So if you fancy a dip and you're at a conference, you're likely going to be swimming with colleagues and counterparts of all genders.

I wouldn't say so. I've seen a few of these threads in my time on this site. It's very common for the first few responses, and the ones that are up-voted early, to be folks doing what can only be described as concern trolling

That's . . . not what happened in this article, though. The individual supposedly grabbed her around her waist, torso, and thighs without permission while in a swimming pool. This in addition to his other comments seems reasonably clea

I think that caveat that you cite is operative. Although I take it in a slightly different direction than the author. The point at which integration tests become important is not really a question of bullet-proof-ness. It's a question
