The problem with that is measuring the amount of value you generate. For some jobs that's easy, like sales - and those jobs typically do pay based on the value generated (ie. commission), at least in part. But for software development and o

I was going to upvote you for the quote, but then I got to "her description of this job doesn't sound all that bad"... It sounds pretty bad to me, at least for a first-world country.

Even then, there would be nothing stopping an adversary from making a bit-for-bit copy of the data and attempting to decrypt the (writable) copy.

Really? In my experience the results are far less relevant. I really tried to use DuckDuckGo, because of the privacy advantages - even set it as my default search engine - but the results just aren't as good. It's also slower - noticeably s

I tried the Chrome extension and it seems to have no effect for me - the URL is the same.

Agreed. Most companies realise the disruption caused to a project when key staff leave and paying an extra 10K, 20K or even 60K passes a simple cost-benefit analysis - but only during that project. Personal experience: I was one of about 5-

A company is made up of people. If you treat a company unethically the consequences are suffered by people, not by some imaginary entity that only exists on paper. The only difference is that you may not always know who they are. Yes, compa

The speed they got in this experiment was faster than light would travel in a vacuum , according to the abstract.

It's definitely not in Australia - and I'd be surprised if that defence worked anywhere else, either. The law here says that you must assist the police to access data if ordered by a magistrate. The magistrate must be satisfied that you can

No entirely. DELETE will work with cascading foreign keys, while TRUNCATE will not, at least on SQL Server. Also, DELETE is logged and (I believe) TRUNCATE is not. Having said that, I agree that a WHERE clause should be required - you can a

The designer of rm is the greater culprit here, not the author of that install script. A single mistyped character should not lead to such drastic consequences. "Usability? What's that? I'm really smart, so I don't make mistakes. If lesser

When I read the title my initial thought was that "unlocked" was the official term for "jailbroken". It sounded too good to be true and, sure enough, it was. The fact that the phone is not locked to any one network doesn't seem like such a

"I just want to get some work done, I don’t want to waste my time debugging all kind of crap." That's basically it. It's not the drivers, it's not the bugs - it's the culture. The culture of Linux seems to be that every user should be a p

I also use a separate email alias for each company I deal with. I run my own Postfix servers (primary + backup), but I've now created a web UI with a view to making this usable by others. The URL is in my profile (not sure if posting it her

Agreed. His broader point about not "glorifying" security researchers is valid, but he goes way too far when he says security bugs aren't more important. There is no point in telling him he's wrong, either. He'll just call you a "masturbati
