   Another possibility is that someone in IT or corporate security bought a fancy vulnerability scanner and is blindly running it against everything on the internal network. They might even change any existing firewall rules to allow it to con

   Neat! Reminded me of Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson. I'm sure nearly everyone is familiar with it, but for those who aren't: it's pretty good!

   I was hoping they'd give some examples with the heap size needed for a given dataset size, but I never found them (looked through http://hollow.how also). I also wondered what you do when the heap cost gets too large. The T

   I use 1Password for time-based one time passwords. They're very upfront about the limitations, and I'm comfortable with the tradeoff, especially since it has eliminated the hassle of setting up Google Authenticator repeatedly. ht

   You have a lot of comments on this article, with some good questions and good points. However, I think there's a theme in some of them: > Well-disciplined iOS developers can keep this under control. Well-disciplined iOS developers w

   If you're really going to complicate displaying the license, you could try to compel the company using libcurl to provide their support contact information immediately before the license text. I doubt it would actually work.

    I thought this was going to be a link to [1], from a talk given at Swift Summit a couple days ago. I haven't really looked at the code for either one to compare them, but for people who are interested, here's a second simple genet

    I highly recommend using something like fan.tv (I don't know of any competitors, but I assume they exist) for finding where content is available. It looks like it doesn't include Google Play, but shows that Goat is available on Am

    I don't think it's that VW can't meet the requirements, it's that they don't think it'll be as commercially successful. I think it's the tension between emissions requirements and customer demand for pow

    I wonder how this will play out in April. I seriously doubt the company is properly withholding & paying the payroll taxes. I guess it's not even clear whether or not they'll be filing a W2 for her.

    Sounds like an exploited device should be jailbroken, you could try running an unsigned binary (if it's easy to find & install one - I'm not sure). I believe the article also says it disables the auto-update mechanism. So if y

    I thought it was interesting that they're using Cydia Substrate to hook into specific third-party apps for monitoring. I wonder if we'll ever see privacy conscious apps using some sort of obfuscation. So that every time you update

    In part 2, all of the data tables have the data duplicated. I see 40 rows: 1-20, 1-20 for most popular locations. The other tables show 20 entries, and have the top ten followed by the top ten again.

    I think that's a good point, and a weakness in my comment. I know everyone's watching habits differ, but I said "to a large extent they control what people watch" and then offered an anecdote to support it. I doubt anyon

    It's pretty easy to keep a list of old salted hashes, and copmare the new password's salted hash against the previous ones. It doesn't require saving the old passwords.
