Is what Epic Games doing with their exclusivity deals legal? It's one thing if they pay a developer to exclusively release on their store, but they are paying developers not to release on Steam, even though it's fine for them to

The article makes it seem like he's a hero who was intent on stopping WannaCry, so should be pardoned for crimes he commited when he was younger. The reality is that he had no idea what registering the hard coded domain name would do,

That doesn't matter, restricting information that employees can access is Security 101. I can't view restricted company information that I don't need for my job, likewise people transcribing Alexa voice commands don't n

That reminds me of an interview with a Chinese esports team I saw at a tournament a few months ago. The interviewer was doing a light-hearted game where they showed twitch emotes to the Chinese team and asked what they thought the emotes m

That sounds like corporate speak for "We don't know exactly how many children in our daycare aren't immunized, but we're going to assume that every child who hasn't provided us records is immunized since it gives us

A couple of years ago someone made a website about the "Grinch" vulnerability, saying it was going to be bigger than shellshock. The "vulnerability" was that members of the "wheel" admin group could use sudo t

Someone posted Valve's response to this on /r/steam. Basically, they don't agree with it, but stopped doing it years ago since they knew the EU was going to give them problems with it. They also said that it only appli

They are. An officer in charge of me in the military couldn't get his clearance renewed because after the housing bubble popped, he was forced to move to a new duty station. He couldn't afford to pay two mortgages, and couldn&#x

I think the only politically related questions you get asked are whether or not you've ever been a terrorist, and whether or not you've been a member of or supported an organization that was attempting to violently overthrow the g

If it makes you feel any better, not everywhere is like that. I work at a mid sized technology consulting company on the east coast, and I've heard multiple managers say that they hate when they have to manage developers from the west

Yeah, in the military they told us that if you are trying to hide, whispering is louder and easier to distinguish than regular speech. What they recommended was exhaling until you didn't have much air in your lungs, then talking norma

It's like how GitLab justifies paying people less in lower cost of living areas by saying that they don't want unhappy employees to feel like they should keep working there just for the money.

When I was doing a training exercise in the military, I was talking to an Air Force General who told us that their best cybersecurity officers had undergrads in non-tech fields. They said that computer science and software engineering unde

It depends on what kind of work they're doing. If they're doing government contracting, they'll probably never get fired because they fill so many "diversity checkboxes" that their company will want to keep them on

I had the same thing happen. During signup it asked for my phone number but said it was optional. A couple of minutes after I created my account, it was locked and they said it required a phone number to prove I wasn't a bot. I just

It's not. I don't know anyone that's ever been through an active shooter drill. The closest I know of is the college my wife taught at had an optional hour long seminar for teachers.

They do warn the public, but people on this site say the warnings aren't real, and that it's just the government trying to hurt Chinese businesses. Look at any of the threads about Huawei, it's mostly full of people saying t

It's simple to work around those time requirements. It's not uncommon to see accounts that are months old with 0 prior activity become super active as soon as a thread criticizing China shows up.

Stuxnet only damaged centrifuges, anybody that was hurt would have been because of a freak accident. Triton's whole purpose is to kill people.

Yeah, it's pretty common. The network admins don't necessarily have security training, so they might not understand the reasoning behind the recommendations from the security team. Ideally they'll work together, but most of

Another problem with Baltimore is that the crime starts to leak out into the surrounding counties, so the effective crime rate is actually higher than what is reported for the city. Public transit was added that travels between Baltimore a

I think the main issue is he smoked pot while he already had a security clearance, so it comes off as him acting like federal laws don't apply to him. You're right about the past history stuff, I worked in cleared environments fo

That reminds me of a lesson developer's learned when making a stealth game, Splinter Cell. Originally, when you were spotted the enemies would just try to shoot you, but tester feedback said that players didn't like getting shot

Genocide is any attempt to destroy a group of people or their culture. Killing is one method of commiting genocide, but imprisoning members of a culture in an attempt to destroy that culture is also considered genocide.

For me on Google, "mint elixir" has the GitHub repo as the first result, then a bunch of links for "How to install Elixir on Linux Mint". DDG gives a software company called "Elixir Mint" as the first result,
