Are you really "more financially successful" if you can't afford the same things, though? Unless you have different priorities, which is fine. Like I could afford some stuff, but "can't" cause that wouldn'

I'd guess the reporting is also biased, there is not much to tell in the cases of people who have won and just lead a stable life afterwards.

Maybe you need the GDPR. When governments in the EU started digitizing their data like 20 years ago, it used to be that lots of personal data would end up published on official websites, either in the form of scanned PDFs that Google would

AliExpress is doing that too. I'm in Spain, and I literally just received an SMS for a shipment from "SINOTRANS" which is what AliExpress uses to ship in bulk from China then fulfill locally.

That's not just subsidies, but also how trade routes have been optimized. China, the US and every other country, have non-symmetric mail dispatch systems, optimized for the China->wherever route, with mass dispatch from China branch

Manufacturing jobs are a thing of the past, even China is automating more every day. When "the jobs come back", it won't be to employ the poor and middle-class but to set up automated production. Which, this time around, will

Depends. Are they so desperate that they want to go to war, or are they rather becoming more of a middle class that wants to play the newest video games?

I'm surprised that it's even possible for identical twins to have different exposure levels to testosterone in the womb.

> Over time — and Lambert seemed to be in favor of this — GitHub could also allow developers to sell their workflows and Actions through the GitHub marketplace. Nope, it's about money.

Where's the fail? Android devices with the licensed software will be slightly more expensive, so competitors will have a chance to offer cheaper alternatives. Sounds like working as intended to me.

Not all that good when there are quite the few bigger worries affecting all of us... but some would rather care about what's on a bagel emoji.

As far as security goes, that sounds like a good thing.

10+ accusations without evidence? Sounds like a witch hunt. I mean, how likely is it that 10+ people all had no chance to collect any evidence?

Python is in part a "quick and dirty" language that nevertheless has many advanced features, which means it's a great language to easily hack something together. Whether to use it afterwards in production... it doesn't s

The described hack is nowhere near science fiction levels. Even embedding a bare silicon chip in the layers of a board would be factible.

Moreover, what if they got a gag order which put them under obligation of never confirming the attack?

There are essentially two types of people in Mensa: those who think they're smarter than everyone else and decide to take a Mensa IQ test to prove it to everyone, and those who took an IQ test for some other reason and then decided to

Not true. Luck is just random, preparation allows to spot more opportunities, but no amount of preparation will make up for a lack of them.

The beauty of public key cryptography is that a x5 increase in security researchers is nowhere near a x2^128 increase in difficulty. What's pitiful is coming up with O(1) schemes and hoping for security through obscurity to keep them s

It also means that instead of having to compromise Intel's signing key to gain full control, now it's also possible to use any compromised key that's been signed by Intel, which may not be as well guarded as Intel's one.

Phone numbers fail against remote third party undetectable attacks with O(1) complexity. You'd have to use a password like "1234" to fail like that.

JIRA is quite complex, but it suffers from a Swiss army knife complex, and at some point you end up "programming in JIRA" instead of using a much simpler purpose-built tool, or even building one.

It isn't hard to type 10.0.0.1, and using local hostnames like "main" or "box1" wouldn't be much more secure either.

Phone numbers were not a secure 2FA anyway, and I've been using the TOTP alternative since it's been available... but I don't really see a problem with them using whatever to show "more relevant ads", if you don&#x2

You can get most medical equipment from China/India at up to 100x lower prices, but nobody would even dare to use them on any patient (in first world countries) because of the liabilities... and that's why customers only get produ
