Given it's usage in the past, Signal and it's developers have definitely been a target before now. Not to mention by law enforcement and forensic companies like Cellebrite, which lead to them hitting back in a rather amusing blog

I wonder if we reach a point where the concept of "mispriced" stops really making sense? Because when you say a stock is undervalued, isn't what you're really saying is that you think it's value with increase at a h

One of the key ideas behind the stock market is that is allows capital to efficiently allocated - perform well and have good potential more people buying their shares, and companies that perform badly or have poor potential get fewer. So mo

Vanguard do still have a lot of control by choosing their investments, because many of the people investing through them are buying blended funds rather than ones invested in a single index. For instance, if you look at funds like the LifeS

Yeah, it's pretty common. Some years back I reported a stored XSS vulnerability in an online marketplace with hundreds of thousands of users - a proper writeup with HTTP requests, proof of concept, impact, etc. No mention of bounties&#

Leave that up to the companies publishing the reviews, and fine the one who don't deal with it.

It's never going to be perfect, because then you get into the arguments about exactly what a "fake" review is. But it could be better. Because as you say, it's pretty common for companies to just go out and buy reviews.

As the consumer , that's a big benefit, and the main reason I use RSS. But for the company running the website, the fact that you're no longer browsing to their site, being served adverts and tracking code, and seeing what's

That just sounds like a mailing list, but without the ability to easily identify and track the individuals you're sending to.

Where I have RSS feeds from news sites, I usually skim down the list of titles, read an article (in my feed) if it's interesting, and then move on. I never visit their website, I don't see their adverts, their tracking scripts can

I've known a several admins who just flat out block all the new TLDs, because the ratio of spam and phishing to legitimate email is so high for them. So as well as the issues with trying to explain a TLD to people and bad validation, y

As an end user , I really like the style of applications that GOV.UK write and endorses - lightweight, clean layouts, accessible, and generally work with minimal (or no) JavaScript. And I dislike most SPAs, because they usually end up brea

It predates bcrypt by quite a bit - descrypt would truncate password at 8 characters (or technically 8 bytes) and was used on a lot of older Linux and *NIX systems.

I don't mean that in some kind of "mystical" way, but in that other people perceive it to be valuable. For instance, a Picasso painting has very little intrinsic value to me. Given a choice, I wouldn't have one in my hou

But under that argument, any art that has ever earned money (such as a movie or song that sold a single copy, or a video that earned a single penny of advertising revenue, or a busker who gets given a few quid) has value. And in many cases

by entuno 2y ago
This all seems to be based on the underlying assumption that art has an objective and measurable quality (or level of crapness, if you prefer). But I suspect many people would disagree with that premise, and even if they did agree, they wou

There are lots of lonely people who want someone to talk to, and the technology is getting better and better. Still won't generally pass the Turing test, but miles ahead of the chat bots from a few years ago.

There are lots of problems with this approach, but one of the bigger ones is that if everyone has their own keys, then everyone can create signed images that have been manipulated. So even if you you can get people to actually verify images

Most of the large deployments I've seen don't use pre-boot PINs, because of the difficulty of managing them with users - they just use TPM and occasionally network unlock. So might save a few people, but I suspect not many.

Yeah, I spotted that the other day and commented on the previous story about this. It definitely works for other titles, but not for this new opt-out privacy related setting. How very convenient...

There are plenty of opt-in features that people do use. Hell, the entire extension ecosystem is based around people choosing to opt in to various extra features. So if this is something that is so undesirable that no one would opt it to it,

Disappointing behaviour by Mozilla, but not hugely surprising. It's also rather suspicious that the setting to disable this seems to be somewhat hidden. If I go to settings and search for "advertising" then I get: > Sorry!
