It was not my intention to be condescending. I legitimately enjoyed that paper (the technical part mostly), and thought it was relevant to what you were saying. I've found a lot of many interesting articles in hackernews comments and

If you have never read "Reflections on Trusting Trust" by Ken Thompson, I wholeheartedly recommend it. It's a short read (3 pages), but absolutely worht your time. https://www.archive.ece.cmu.edu/~ganger/

I don’t understand why banks don’t add the reason for the text in the text itself. This could have been detected earlier if the text said “Here’s the code for the password reset you asked for: ______”

IMO think this is the core of the issue. As long as there are no serious consequences for leaking user's data these things are going to continue to happen.

Surface Go has the best of both worlds. You can use a usb-c charger if you chose to, but it also has a magnetic cable. I find it a great compromise. During travel, I only take a usb-c charger. But for home/work, where it is plugged mos

I think in the streaming it was mentioned "If you need those, they are available on the app". So I assume if you need those details, you open the wallet app on your phone and you can see the numbers, name, etc. and use it as a reg

Based on what they show on the video alone, I feel this study is unfair. They are comparing "one of the best commercial speech recognizers out there" and in absolutely ideal conditions (no external noise, no echo etc.) against a n

I would not advise to use or buy pebble if you're concerned about privacy. As a company, they don't seem to be particularly interested in it. For example: I was investigating some time ago (might have been updated) how to register

Are you talking about tiling window managers on OS X or in general? If it's the general case, I have to disagree. XMonad is absolutely fantastic on multi monitors. The two things I liked to most were Mod+e or Mod+w to change focus to t

I don't understand. I mean I agree that at some point smartflix is going to get into trouble for doing this, but I doubt it will come from Netflix (unless forced to). As far as legalities are concerned, Netflix is serving content allow

Not to mention with 'SIP' (aka 'rootless'), Apple even has unrestricted control to part of your filesystem. They promote it as a security feature, but it only protects their own interests. It does very little to protect

The simplest way to avoid this (though it does require some guesswork on your part) is to always open those suspicious sites with incognito mode. If when you click the button it asks you to log into facebook (don't) you would have been
