Sorry I should’ve been more clear. I meant that people who go the route of setting up their own vpn server are more concerned with security. I think we’re on the same page, and I agree with you about the importance of privacy to PIA users.

People who go this route are likely more concerned with security than having anonymity

Yeah, and it sounds more like RCE than a privilege escalation vulnerability. I wonder if there deliberately being brief and misleading about it to prevent attacks.

The number of people responding is very encouraging to see. To answer the question, I echo and endorse what one user has already posted -- practice gratitude and be nice to yourself. It's very easy to get caught-up thinking we're

This seems to be a common and popular trend these days, especially on HN. Is anyone doing the opposite and becoming more ingrained into the Google ecosystem? I'd love to dive more into the Android/Google side of things, but thes

I think the same can be applied to just about any source/site/app where these feelings of inferiority can arise. Even here if I spend enough time browsing posts with topics I’m not strong in, I feel like I still have so much catch

I’m not sure if price is the only thing here. This is really anecdotal, but most people I know who are always first in line to get the newest iPhone sat this one out, citing sort of a “new device” fatigue as their reasoning. Maybe this is w

Apple actually creates some signatures in house with “XProtect”, but I’m not sure they do the same for raw privesc exploits. I’m also not sure how thorough they are with their signature creation...

Minor, but ASLR doesn’t deal with code obfuscation. It is a system technique to help deter exploitation of an arbitrary app.

How long had you been working there before you asked? And was there any push back? I'm sure this will vary from company to company, but I am curious to hear your case.

Same. I keep thinking that I can rationally explain my Reddit and HN usage because they do serve some utility. But then I wonder how much I’m fooling myself with that sentiment...

Yeah that would be cool. Do you know of any iOS apps that currently support this?

I wonder the same thing. The only downside I can see is that the more days that go by while bug-hunting, the more anxious I'll get about not having a consistent biweekly paycheck. It would be a very results-driven career à la sales, bu
