For the past 50 years, commercial fusion power has been only a decade away. Now it's only a decade away for sure !

So what you're saying is that the problem people are trying to solve with NFTs has nothing to do with NFTs, and relies heavily on the good will of the corporation in control to work? Yeah, nah, I'll stay on the fence until there i

That's such a minor part, though. Yes, your NFT will always be linked to object 238947872, but absolutely nothing about NFTs makes object 238947872 "a game sword" or even "a valid object in Game A", much less "

My main problem with this "you can own a video game asset!" argument is that you just don't. You own a token on the blockchain that currently points to something. Tomorrow, it could point to something else. Let's take th

1984. Yes, I know you've probably read it already, but it's probably time to read it again.

Yep, that's what I usually call "four weeks worth of code done in three weeks", and it's the cause of every rewrite I've been a part of so far.

I hear that. Machine Learning also has a long way to go before it can take a long, rambling mess of a meeting and somehow generate a halfway usable spec from it. I mean, the customer says they want X, but X is silly in this context, so we&#

No. Chemically speaking, it's a rock. None of the original organic matter is left, it has all been permineralized. https://ucmp.berkeley.edu/paleo/fossilsarchive/permin.html

This "perfectly preserved dinosaur embryo" is a rock. It's in the perfectly preserved shape of a dinosaur embryo, but chemically, it's a rock. Generally speaking, that's what fossils are. I bet Young Earth Creatio

Every time someone mentions "The Security Department" I'm reminded of a security review I failed because of the iptable rule `-I INPUT 1 --in-interface lo --jump ACCEPT` was "too permissive" and a "security ris

Just as being banned from one social media platform for bad behavior pushes people to a different social media platform, this might very well push the exactly wrong sort of people from iOS to Android. If Android then implements something si

You don't have to be the recipient of bad behavior to sympathize. I, for example, have never worked for Blizzard, yet I find these allegations to be appalling, and would not want to work with Blizzard until I knew the allegations were

This was specifically seeded into the criminal world. It's not like they cracked Signal, or whatever. It's not an infiltration of the app, it's an infiltration of the criminal organizations, using an app they made.

The big blow isn't the amount of drugs or cash taken, it's the grabbing of relatively high ranking people in the organization, and the absolute shattering of their communication. I bet a bunch of them will go back to in-person com

The main difference is that by building their own honey pot, they did not have to rely on an external actor to maintain any secrecy. If they dug their claws into wikr, they'd have to worry about leaks from every single person involved

Lawyers, even in the United States, are bound by rules of conduct, and will stop being lawyers very quickly if the overstep the rules of ethical conduct. The standards of ethics they are checked against are not yours or mine, they are the r

I wonder what would happen if compilers/interpreters/lexers of various programming/scripting languages had this attitude. Why do web page authors get a pass? I mean, most web page authors today at least also do JavaScript,

"These are evil, vile people I am torturing to death. In fact, it's debatable if they're even people!" tends to be the justification, and it tends to be based on mental gymnastics surrounding some old book :-/ I see

The "left clap" is the server's left, and the "right clap" is the server's right. Easy to get those mixed up, as the comic doesn't specify.

True, but it's enough to make a rather spectacular show to frighten people, and in the end, that's what terrorism is about.

"In place of"? It's trivial to cause a lithium-ion battery battery to explode if you know how. Don't tell TSA, though, or you're going to have a very boring flight.

Those are different jobs, and both jobs are being done. The sheer complexity of hardening makes it naive to think it will ever be bulletproof, as I'm sure you'll agree, so there will always be a call for another layer behind it. W

I've worked with such a mimic. He did a security audit, then scrapped the whole system because there was a completely unfiltered network interface, and no matter what other security was in place that would never ever be good enough on

Another implications of this is that if a security flaw is found in this re-used image, it's trvial to write a worm, as it can very easily seek out and find vulnerable hosts. Ooops.
