Just eliminate default passwords completely. The first person that opens the box, or applies a license key, sets the password and it must be strong.

Returns are used to quantify results, but you can't compare returns between a hedge fund or trading or market making operation - and a retail customer putting away their retirement money. Two entirely different operations at work that

The perceived benefit of creating a new framework is large (I'll solve programming the internet!) and the cost is quite small (easy to write js with little knowledge), there's a huge number of devs, and no one really owns the spac

This title is incorrect. Credentials not stolen, usernames and hashed passwords stolen. That is not the same as having everyone's password. The title implies someone can easily log in to your account.

Assange/Wikileaks nemesis is secrecy and corruption, not HRC specifically. Now if they view her as the most corrupt, they would naturally be against her, and inevitably that supports Trump. But that is not the same as the rabid right

She didn't deny it, but said “It would have been a joke, if it had been said, but I don't recall that.” I say that indicates she likely said it, although maybe jokingly. Speaking for myself I know I would never say that, so the r

Not sure that is true. It's cheap promotion for musicians who have zero contacts. 40 bucks to get featured on 40 blogs, its a decent deal just to get the back links. Look at the sites where people pay for likes or plays or comments.

It's really about maximizing value/cost. A large portion of software is created for and funded by commercial purposes and usually, they care about nothing besides cost and results. For instance, what stack we are using, they cou

It says more about our society that the person who chooses to study philosophy. Making more money is valuable and not making much is looked down upon. But, how happy are we? What philosophy can do is expand your mind beyond what society ha

Just the fetishism about these devices is striking. "Our devices should be making a statement about who we are and what we do". Thousand dollar phones with $100 month services. $159 earbuds. Think we are all in the matrix.

Nothing against her personally but sadly with Mrs Clinton as president we are likely looking at more confrontation with Russia. Clearly the theme being promoted is that Russia needs to be confronted. A number of articles are promoting thi

There is alot at stake in blaming Russia for the breaches. This was broadcasted, without evidence? and readily accepted by the public. For this reason it's essential that some security experts outside the standard government contracto

There is proof that the RNC did not rig the elections against Trump, he won. That's impossible if it was rigged. While there may not be proof that the DNC rigged it against Sanders, that doesn't prove it wasn't rigged. It o

Wouldn't it make sense to just pay everyone (in the same type of role) essentially the same amount and then bonus people from time to time on particular outstanding achievements. Nothing is a more powerful inducement than financial in

More interesting is the debate here in the comments where people are unsure if it's legal for them to read something on the Internet. I doubt Google is censoring Wikileaks. Too obvious. But startling is the chilling effect nowadays

That playbook is weak. Real research would be a lot more explosive than that. How could one prove it? Describe the hack in detail in a message and sign it with a key?
