I think they should announce it. It seems pretty optimistic to have an application with buggy code that exposes user data, yet claim that there is no chance that an error or oversight prevented it from being logged. Saying "if we did

There's still too many weasel words in the statement. They didn't confirm that the article is wrong, the said "we have no reason to doubt the statements from the companies named in the story". That could just be anothe

That's similar to an old login bypass you used to be able to do on Windows 95. Here's a short gif demonstrating how it worked https://i.imgur.com/rG0p0b2.gif

These types of glasses seem like they've been around for a while. Here's an article where they were introduced 6 years ago, they've been available in US movie theatres for a while. Also, not sure if this article is behind t

I haven't done any big projects with it, but I did use it for making a Firefox extension to archive sites. My biggest issue with it was the unpredictable way it would handle syntax errors, and how things were handled wasn't docum

It seems plausible, studies have shown that students who handwrite notes retain more information than students that type notes. The reason for this is because handwriting is slower than typing, so your mind spends more time thinking about

I've seen people kept around for that exact reason in govt contracting. For example, one employee never pulled her weight, and managers always wanted to fire her, but she was a black senior citizen. Since she allowed them to check of

A lot of programming jobs just need someone who can follow directions, not someone very skilled. It's the digital equivalent putting together IKEA furniture instead of being the person doing all the design work to ensure things fit tog

Look at the lawsuit, not just the paper he wrote. He provides evidence of managers colluding to prevent conservative employees from getting promoted, examples of employees booing when the number of white male managers is listed, etc.

You can look at the lawsuits filed by James Damore and others that provides evidence of managers at Google sharing an internal blacklist of politically conservative employees so they can collude to keep them from advancing in the company.

I think what they're saying is that current scientific achievements are usually the result of huge swaths of scientists from all manner of disciplines working together, and giving an award to a single researcher is usually just a popul

I think Valve might be moving to a software Steam Link instead of the physical box. You can download the software, also called Steam Link, on Android devices. I think you can also install it on some smart TVs, but I'm not sure.

What don't you follow? If 3 letter agencies had been given backdoor access by Cisco, why would the 3 letter agencies need to develop exploits that take advantage of flaws in the software? Cisco could have just added port knocking ins

Probably not true. You can see from the leaked shadow brokers tools that they had to develop exploits to get on the devices, they didn't just have free access.

Not OP, but legally you have to claim asylum in the first country you arrive in, continuing further to get to a more desirable country makes you an economic migrant, not a refugee. For example, if someone flees from Syria, they can legally

Not to try and derail the conversation, but "!sp" uses startpage, a proxy that searches google on your behalf so google doesn't get to track you.
