Well that doesn't seem very effective, since climate activists are the most anti-oil people you'll ever meet. You can't make endocrine-disrupting plastics without oil.

Sorry, I misspoke, but yes deprecating them for authentication would be the goal.

It would certainly be a darkgrayhat move to do such a thing. It would be effective at deprecating SSNs as identifiers but would cause a lot of pain and suffering for a lot of people in the interim.

I like the idea, but it seems to have a flaw (or I missed how one should handle this). Not all events happen on the same day, especially if you work third shift. I guess you would just split it into two events (not really a fan) or just do

Well they said nothing of entirely outlawing guns, but yes a lot of people put cars before kids’ lives and I would like to see that change.

I didn’t even consider the existence of XMPP vulns until I listened to the Darknet Diaries episode about Kik[0]. It’s a really interesting class of vulnerabilities. [0]: https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/93/

Well this initiated a rant, not directly related to ads, but Google in general. This is an internet literacy issue I’ve noticed more and more. People will refer to Google listings as an authoritative source even if the data comes from some

What was the problem you were having with Ruby (on Rails) and Nix? It wasn't ergonomic for me, but I was able to get things to work.

I think it's well-designed, but I would definitely want someone to go over it and look for any obvious issues if I made it public. I wanted it to be annoying as possible to do something outside of the tenant context and it is definitel

This is how I’ve been making sure multitenancy in my app doesn’t leak data. It shouldn’t leak but how can I be sure? Run tests that try to access data on one tenant from another tenant and fail if the data is accessible.

I think a lot of hackers start with just seeing what’s going on without any intent to dig deeper. But then something too good to pass up gets them high, and with weakened inhibitions, they make bad decisions that require responsible discl

When does it ask for your identity? I just signed up and all it needed was my email, password, and my token. It doesn’t know who I am though. It didn’t even ask for my name.
