True. But it's much less of a problem outside. For example, does the gun culture in the US affect the rest of the world? It sure does. You can guess where most of the illegal weapons come from. But we rarely even think about getting sh

Ah! Another one to add to the following list: - What disease did the CDC ever prevent? - What improvement did the NHTSA ever bring to full self driving? - What improvement in airline safety did the FAA bring? - What good did FEMA do in any

I'm sure that a hundred other countries will step up to fund it. But have you given any thought about why the US was so willing to sponsor it alone in the past?

Oh! It will be even more fun when the entire infotech and infosec industry starts seething soon. Then the rest of the world will just make alternative arrangements and move on, leaving the US behind because they can't be trusted anymor

Doesn't the government use those software (private and open source) to handle private information of citizens and other sensitive information? And what about their contractors? That alone justifies maintaining such a database.

That's exactly what they're saying about the HHS cuts and the measles outbreak.

It's more likely to boost the zero day black market. I don't know if I want to attribute this to idiocy (indiscriminate cost cutting), greed (contracts for their crony pals) or malice (hoarding and trading 0 days).

You truly believe that the CVE database (and others like CWE) are only about assigning serial numbers to random reports, don't you? I see people underestimating and understanding the work of others in matters like this. Is that a trend
909.
by goku12 2y ago
I thought that the point of the CVE database is to improve security, not wreck it?

I'm sure that the capitalists would disagree in this instance.

I haven't spent the time to learn Go yet. My main language is Rust and I'm currently learning Zig. So I have few code recommendations at the moment. However, I do have a few generic suggestions based on what you've conveyed h

Perhaps the users should be given an option to opt out (enabled by default) for such APIs on a per-site basis. That way, users can intervene when they're abused, while their fair use will remain transparent.

That is in line with the Free Software and GNU philosophy. It isn't just about making the source available to you. Rather, they expect that you - the user - will tinker around and modify it substantially to suit your needs. So they inc

I'm not GP, but if I were to hazard a guess, they want something more than just mount space isolation. Something akin to BSD jails, without the bells and whistles of OCI containers like overlay filesystem, network virtualization, resou

Yes. And so is bubblewrap - if security through isolation is a priority.

I'm at a loss at to how you reached that conclusion from my reply.

Please don't define everything in India in terms of poverty. It gives the impression that anything good in India happens only because of economic concerns. But that isn't entirely true. Let's not undermine the recognition of

I agree with the basic premise of your argument. The reason why I dislike certain products like Apple's is because of my professional background in electronics. But the way you presented it is definitely not the way to do it - flipping

by goku12 2y ago
Those arguments are so vague, subjective and often just irrelevant that it doesn't merit any place in a decision that inflicts such serious damage on people who don't share those beliefs. All it tells me is how some people justify

That's an interesting piece of information! We have a huge snail and hammerhead worm infestation here. We also have lots of areca nuts (though people have stopped consuming it). But I haven't heard of anyone using it for this purp

by goku12 2y ago
That sounds even worse. These invasive species always present a danger to the native fauna that don't know to avoid them. If they get gradually poisoned instead, they might never develop the avoidance behavior and may lead to biomagnif

There is something bigger at play when so many people make mistakes all at once. Considering the seriousness of the topic, wasn't there any sort of protocol or monitoring system that would alert them that the information is too privile

That's the wrong question to ask under these circumstances, since nobody else is imposing their beliefs on you and preventing you from practicing those. The real question is, must sex invariably lead to pregnancy when there are known w

This is a goal against the entire human race. The details are in the article. To summarize, they were collaborating with the rest of the world through WHO. And this isn't the only one either. I see scientists and archivists scrambling

The cult that I see growing online a lot are those who are invested in attacking Rust for some reason, though their arguments often indicate that they haven't even tried it. I believe that we're focusing so much on Rust evangelist

It's not that either, and you are validating the GP's point. Rust has a very specific 'unsafe' keyword that every Rust developer interpret implicitly and instinctively as 'potentially memory-unsafe'. Consequent

You're welcome! Though, it's sad that it has come to this. And this isn't the first time I had to do it either.
