I think this goes hand-in-hand with people naming security vulnerabilities and trying to make it a big spectacle. Sometimes it is a legit serious vulnerability, like shellshock or heartbleed, but a lot are just novices trying to get their 1

A more recent example would be the book "The Utility of Force" by General Rupert Smith. He argues that conventional militaries and tactics revolve around a concept of war that was made obsolete by nuclear weapons, and goes in dept

That was my experience as well. I'd use my lunch break to go to the gym in our building, and eat a protien shake or something at my desk.

I used to do 4/10 hour days a week, and like it much better than 8/5. Between the commute, meal prep, grooming/getting dressed, etc., it feels like the day is gone anyway because I didn't feel like doing anything resembl

Yep, that was my point. I agree that most people can make the distinction, but I've been hearing a lot more about people being unable to have healthy sexual relationships because their entire mental model is based on the porn they star

I don't think it makes them more sexual, but it gives them the wrong idea of what a normal sexual encounter is. The same thing happens with violence, but the majority of people aren't going to engage in direct violence against som

I think the difference between acceptance of violent and sexual depictions in media is based on how likely it is to affect people's lives. Almost nobody has a natural tendency to act on violent thoughts, so playing a violent video game

It wasn't because of the outage, I had the same experience setting up an AppleTV a couple of months ago. It seems like the whole "it just works" motto only applies if you use nothing but Apple products. It actually made my wi

It doesn't suprise me, I've noticed that they've started trying to push political media on Spotify. A couple of weeks ago it was recommending me a new single called "Black Lives Matter" by an artist I'd never h

I was hoping it was a questionnaire about how bad Spotify recommendations are. I have no idea why Spotify feels the need to clutter my recommendations with radio stations like "Rap Caviar" and "Music for when you know you&#x2

Every restaurant I've been to with mandatory tips or fees has it written on the bottom of each page. The only shady thing I've seen them do is add the mandatory tip, then give you the bill with an option for an additional tip, hop

IIRC, the banning accounts part isn't new info. They were called out for it and I think their reasoning was that at the time they didn't have a way to just block certain regions from a meeting, so they banned the meetings altogeth

It was added before release, but after review copies had went out. AFAIK, only one person had a seizure from it.

Pure rust wouldn't be good for a cryptography library because it doesn't have features like constant-time functions that mitigate side channel attacks.

It's pretty meaningless to say that slavery was outlawed in most European countries for hundreds of years, even though some had colonies around the world until well into the 1900s. European countries just outsourced the slavery and cal

Yeah, sophistication to me sounds more like the skill of the hacker. For example, logging in with leaked creds but cleaning up all relevant logs, and doing it during normal business hours for that account is a more sophisticated attack than

If it's a hobby project I'm actually interested in, I can work all day every day. But if it's something I'm forced to do at work, 3-4 hours is the most I can do in a single stretch. If I can take a ~1 hour break after th

Considering the name of the ISP, it feels like a missed an opportunity not marketing "no data cap" as "no wave cap".

The property being destroyed belongs to people, so you don't have any basis to claim that burning cars and stores doesn't cause "psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation".

You unlock players by buying "card packs" that give you random players, some better than others. The hope is that people will see that you are more likely to win if you spend money, then spend more money themselves. Activision has

Not necessarily. Realistically, you can't stop a nation state attack if they want to get in. If it turns out that the breach was caused by default credentials being used on a public server, then it's a different story.

They could have seen evidence in logs that the hackers were searching for files that likely were associated with the government, but they didn't find any.

I never said it's acceptable, but when twitter has close to 200 million daily users, you're going to get some death threats when you do something that makes people upset. And it's blatant PR when the company is forcing the de

It's not like every fan was acting like that. "We've received death threats" has become a tool to try and change the topic from whatever made people upset.

More like, you support the decision, but your immediate boss doesn't, so they start looking for reasons to get rid of you that don't have any official connection to your stance. I remember a while back seeing leaked documents from

Yeah, I burned myself out really bad trying to go above and beyond for a few years at various companies. Just ended up frustrated, making no more money than people coasting in the same position, and still got laid off during downsizing inst

Bash isn't putting anything in /dev. It checks to see if those files exist (I've never seen them actually exist though), and if they aren't there, it just parses the string and creates a network connection as though they

The man page for bash says that /dev/tcp and /dev/udp actually can be real files that any program can use, but that if they're absent, it emulates the behavior on its own.
