This might be a bit of an assumption, but it seems likely Meta is willing to lose more on lawyers than you'd be willing to ever spend.

I would hope (but I do not expect) Western Digital to recover the data for the end users. This is a really bad situation for some.

Yes, I can't pwn this device which makes it incredibly hard for anyone else to pwn this device. Very convenient actually, in that my most critical and private communications flow through it and it goes everywhere I do. Really secure da

I code, and probably get paid less than I output in value; but what I output would not be nearly as valuable if not for the others that contribute to the company. My boss, having created the initial value, and other investors and shareholde

If the server is contactable, and the server goes from returning a signed KEY_IS_VALID response to a signed KEY_IS_ALWAYS_VALID_BECAUSE_DISNEY, it has the same level of security as the existing solution. It does give SecuROM less subscript

The user experience on Tor is not great at the best of times. I can't imagine trying to do something like `docker pull` or `npm install` over it, let alone technical research.

Probably easier to make the re-routing seem legitimate/boring so the handlers don't think something is amiss. More subtle than a G-Man telling you "when package #ABC-123 is scanned put it in the other pile, and tell no one&qu

I'd reckon the vast majority of real-world use of GraphQL is bog-standard web-api apps. With this, you could deploy a single schema changeset which updates the server, client, and middleware; then remove the middleware in a week once t

I have friends who travel to the e-sports events in Sydney when it comes to town, or get together to watch DoTA TI (online, why would you rely on TV channels for this?) with their gamer friends. It's very much online, and very much a s

Absolutely this. The Web API is oddly crippled in a number of ways which make it oddly difficult to develop many interesting apps for the platform. You can't fetch the users a logged-in user is following, for example, hampering the abi

In our case, we had some "fun" React HOCs which were difficult to type properly in TypeScript. We re-wrote the HOC to be easier to read and maintain, so while it cost effort I consider it a net gain.

It feels to me like selling dropshipped items for twice the price online, then re-selling the returns in random retail stores domestically would be part of this. I wonder how they can afford rent, but as long as they can pay salaries then t

If they could extend this to someone who would actively manage you, instead of just be a human to-do list with procrastination checks, this might be worth something. The idea at its core is great.

We are in the process of doing this on a moderately large product. We've found TypeScript itself has much less friction to write (quicker development), and has a lot less gotchas (probably because it restricts the language itself, unli
