Full, anonymous, and public disclosure is fine, however selling exploits is not. The problem is when you sell exploits to software maintainers whom have no interest in fixing the bug, but instead are interested in purchasing the silence of

Probably not. Googlebot likely has very fine-grained limitations on CPU/memory/IO usage, and penalizes websites that use too much. Just a hunch.

Fascinating, however I'm quite curious about whether they took a serious look at utilizing CoreOS over Debian 7 (and if so, why Debian 7 was chosen instead).

Price is too high, it'll never sell in the volume they expect to get (unless their expectations are quite low).

How long until people start using portable RF detectors/sweepers? How long until people use these devices to manipulate police officers into shooting who they want?

With regards to governance of the world, why wasn't a federation considered (eg: a United Federation of Networks)? Perhaps modeled after Canada and her provinces (one of the most decentralized federal states), there is still a central

Yes, definitely. The title was familiar to me however the age of the article would've made me instantly recall what this is.

The article seems to contradict itself -- it offers $1M USD and then offers $1M AED, even providing an estimated USD value after exchange rate. On the official website[1] it's quite clear: there are two competitions, one national with

Why stop at the slow lane? There is nothing preventing ISP gatekeepers from wholeheartedly denying access. Slowness is just the beginning -- the end-goal is making the internet into multiple competing walled gardens where users are treated

Well, NSA and Google deal with similar hardware/software scaling issues, so I'm sure there is some overlap between the pool of employees. Tracking millions of people is in their DNA too, so there's that.

As mentioned in the article, this requires a DOCSIS 3.0+ modem, and there are costs to rolling out equipment. Cranking up the speed isn't simply a matter of turning the dial on their end. However you are correct that coaxial cable has

The debate has always been essentially whether to fix the exploit to more effectively secure our communications, or to use the exploit to eavesdrop on our adversaries. Thanks to post-9/11 FUD, dual-use technologies are usually treated

Indeed, this work for humans too. You cannot remove information once it enters people's heads, but you sure as hell can spread misinformation to drown it out. The problem is that there's is a very large body of information associa

This could also mean big trouble for AMD since they're pushing high-density ARM64 in the data center, one could even go so far as assume that Google isn't taking AMD seriously.

Confirmation bias. 99% of PHP developers out there are in fact absolute shit, and they're happy with it because they're developing "websites" instead of "applications." Right tool for the right job. You can use

The network front-end is key here, especially since the goal of Redis is -- in spirit and in actuality -- to act as a network front-end to in-memory data structures. It's damn good at it too, but disassociating that network front-end m

There is no proof that they're not passing that information onto Amazon, and it's just a policy on their end. Policies can change and then we will have no recourse. The dash shouldn't be sending any user information to begin

The NSA's job is more than simply spying -- they also subvert security through intentionally and maliciously weakening it. I wouldn't be surprised if the NSA considers it an acceptable risk that sensitive government systems are al
