There's no defense "in depth" here, it's like putting your SSH key in your public webroot and watching the logs to see if anyone's taken your key. That's your only layer of "defense" and you don'

Which tax rates? We have dozens. What determines fairness is how the resources in our society are allocated once all is said and done. Income, tax rates, and even money itself is just an abstraction. > if i keep less than half of what i

That's approaching the problem from the worst possible angle. If your security depends on you catching 1 message in a sea of output and quickly rotating the credential everywhere before someone has a chance to abuse it then you were ne

You can do all of that but you shouldn't have to when using a privacy-focused messenger, and most people won't so they'll be exposed and suffer the consequences if they use Signal expecting a certain level of privacy (and pse

Remote Code Execution (RCE) is a type of vulnerability. Intentionally running code from a developer you trust is not a vulnerability. An auto-update mechanism only becomes an RCE if it allows unauthorized third parties to execute code on

You're completely misunderstanding the impact. If you run AMD's software you're effectively giving root access to your computer to any wifi network you connect to and any person who happens to be on that network.

Can anyone rationalize this decision? Sure technically this is outside the stated scope however the severity of this vulnerability is immediately obvious, which should trigger some alarm bells that the scope needs to be reconsidered. If t

You can avoid coke but approximately every brand in the supermarket is funding ad-tech. And even if you can find brands that don't, your supermarket is likely funding ad-tech to advertise itself so you can't go to there at all. Ma

No because employees are making the actual thing that inflicts harm while consumers' actions are completely diffused and many steps removed from the harm they cause. That's why ad-tech is so effective in the first place. Consumer

How much inference are they going to sell a year from now if they stop R&D? Any comparison excluding those costs is either misguided or fraudulent.

You can't "remove" costs willy nilly to make a company look profitable. Running an independent ISP is an extremely lucrative business if you gloss over the capex requirements of installing and maintaining the infrastructure.
