My employer does a similar thing for people working on particularly sensitive projects. Those employees are given a second laptop to use for internet.

Definitions might very by organization. The training I have received defined both "insider threat" and "leak" to include accidental disclosures by insiders as well. Incidentally, accidental disclosures are the main thing

Public education is political. It is run by directly elected boards, with funding provided by the legislature, and under the laws of the legidlature. Education policy is difficult, and every political movement that has worked on it has had

Goodhart's Law: when a measure becomes a target it ceases to be a good measure. We have a generation if activists and policy makers that have grown up seeing measurements as the ground truth, that they have list sight of what they were

This is only realy relevent for college admissions. Having a high school degree is a credential that matters, but few people will look at the GPA on it. For college admissions, the admissions offices aren't stupid. They generally don&#

Wouldn't we expect ecosystems to tolerate low level radiation. Even among humans, the concern is long term cancer risk. It is a feat of modern society that humans routinely live long enough for cancer to be a major concern. Most wildli

That is true at the end of a divorce, but in the beginning, possession is a very big deal. With a joint account, one partner can legally drain the entire account to a new personal one, and the other partner has no recourse other than court,

Client_id is spoofable. Redirect_uri helps with webapps that run on a standard web browser. However, if the client is not a web app (or, is running under a properly modified web browser), it can simply ignore the redirect. Oauth2 does conte

How does authenticating the user help? The whole point of the exercise is to block 3rd party apps. It is assumed that the user is authorized to access Reddit through the first party app, so authenticating the user doesn't solve the iss

There are a lot of L1 layers that have been used under Ethernet. There were several revisions of the coaxial cable used for ethernet before we switched to the rj45 terminated twisted copper cable everyone thinks of when you say "ethern

I have no idea what cratermoon is intending to talk about, but the usual way to solve this problem is attestation. At a high level, the client device has the secret, but it is embedded in a secure enclave that makes it difficult to extract.

Why is the server hosting the content responsible for enforcing the moderation policy of the server requesting it?

That would be surprising. xor is often used like that to set a register to 0, which is far from a nop. I'm not sure why it would do it twice, but it might be as simple as the compiler being stupid.

I'm not sure "accepted" is the correct word. It is a feature of our current theory, but we know that theory is incomplete. In particular high density regions such as the very early Universe are where we know ate theories star

The legal framework for a private company doing it is already there. At least in the US, you can always cancel with a properly worded certified letter to the company. You would probably need to give the company limited power of attorney to

At best it is only a security vulnerability if you are running different trust domains within your process. That is something Java supports, but most Java code does not attempt to take advantage of it. Most Java programs have 100% of there

99% of the time, the calling code trivially owns the array. If you are in a situation where the compiler cannot figure that out, then you need to deal with it regardless of what String does, because the exact same problem exists by the call

As the article points out, the only thing the Javadoc guarantees is the subsequent modifications of the character array have no effect. It says nothing about concurrent modifications. The type whose thread safety is in question here is not

by gizmo686 3y ago
Is this actually a bug? The default assumption in Java is that types are not thread-safe unless otherwise specified. Attempting to use types in a way that exceeds their documented thread safety has always been allowed to leave your program

Relativity isn't a technology. The only technology I can think of that it enabled is GPS. However, we probably would have gotten there anyway. We knew from terrestial experiments that the speed of light is finite. That is pretty much t

Because I've ended up using it in almost every project I'm involved in. By all rights, m4 should not be a good tool for anything. It has no type system, no syntax checking, no debugger, no namespaces, no real notion of atomic lite

I'd say there are two different types of "obsession" here. One is the attitude that that you need to use the best tools possible and by doing that you will get a good result. The other type is old fashion geakery. If you look

The limiting factor for outlets is typically the wire, not the plug. A standard NEMA 14-30 plug that is often used here in the US for high power appliances like dryers and ranges can provide 24amps continous at 240V, for a total of 5760[0]

A quick Google search says that natural gas -> electricity has an efficiency of about 44%, with an additional 5% loss during transmission. Lets call this about 40% efficiency for getting energy from natural gas to your electric heat pump

RHEL systems run SELinux in enforcing mode by default. Most applications run in a domain called "unconfined_t", which is about as secure as it sounds. [0] Ubuntu runs AppArmor in its version of enforcing mode. I've only ever

I don't see how SELinux or AppArmor would help here. From the details provided, it looks like all that is needed is mmap. At most it "requires minimal capabilities to trigger" based on the article. Granted, it is possible to

Looking at my local hardware store's app, the cheapest refrigerator that offers a water/ice dispenser costs $1048 (including discount, exluding tax/delivery/installation). The "best seller" refrigerator goes fo

by gizmo686 3y ago
Who said the $1000 was his entire net worth. $1k is in the 'replacing a refrigerator just after its 1 year warranty expired' size of a loss. You'd prefer it not happen; but at least in this case you get a quircky story instea
