Private or identifying. This case is the identifying side of that, not necessarily the private side. Doxxing is a bit more than just posting information someone’s trying to hide. It’s identifying that person to basically aid in harassment.

First definition of "dox" that came up for me on google: > search for and publish private or identifying information about (a particular individual) on the Internet, typically with malicious intent. Sounds appropriate, doesn&#x

Sure, that's one way to look at it. But also, since you have to actually interact with the server in order to discover such vulnerabilities in it, it could also be viewed as similar to walking in through an unlocked door and looking ar

Hasn't unauthorized access of a server with weak or no security measures been proven illegal many times in court already, though? Admittedly, I'm not a legal expert of any kind, but I could swear that's a common thing.

If it's included with Windows, then people definitely still use it. The people-you-know circle is just a tiny subset of the people-who-use-Windows circle, and the people-you-know circle likely skews towards the more technically incline

"Cyber-attack" seems like the wrong term in this case. They weren't trying to attack or damage anything.

It's pretty typical of Vice, I'd say. They don't need to make their titles clickbait-y since they purposefully write about shocking/taboo things.

Can't a RPi Zero W already be used like that? And it's cheaper than this.

It seems to me like almost every single chart there is just a two item comparison. Why even use a chart in that case? The "2 largest distributors control 65% of the market" examples haven't really been thought through... If t

That's pretty awesome. Does anyone know more about this type of pre-hurricane flight? Is that a common thing airlines do, to try to squeeze one last flight in? Are there rushes before other types of bad weather? And do they increase (o

I swore off HSBC years ago when they wronged me. Short version: They sold my account to another bank (!) that had a nearest branch 100+ miles away(!), and wouldn't let me opt out or close my account before the transfer! Long version: I

Let me direct you to this Slate piece[1] that explains the whole stepping-aside-as-ceo-to-just-be-a-chairman thing, the mentions when Bill Gates did the same thing at Microsoft and Steve Case at AOL. Obviously some of the specifics are goin

Most of what you wrote won't make sense to non-developers. Hell, it won't even make sense to all developers. I'd say that's hard to understand, then.

I don't think most/any of those points would likely calm the nerves of someone who's worried about AI, like Elon Musk. Those people seem to be concerned not with the current state of AI, but the future state: what happens if

What are the counter arguments that should be put forward to those worried about AI? I don't know much/anything about AI/ML research at all, so I don't even know where to begin allaying fears.

The issue, at least for me, isn't that it makes it impossible to figure out how many characters a ligature is (since, as you noted, it doesn't), but that it adds some ambiguity, especially when taking a quick glance. Ambiguity can

I guess we differ in our perception of whether the US is at war with anyone or not.

Sure, we're not rationing food and supplies, but I'd argue that many people think there is an existential threat that needs combating. The war on terror, which you mentioned, can be viewed as another front to the war in Iraq/

I don't get how the kickstand could actually make it easier to use than a normal laptop. Can't you adjust the angle on any laptop?

Can you actually use this "laptop" on your lap? Doesn't the fact that it has a kickstand make it extremely awkward, if not impossible? I have not tried one like that myself, so I honestly don't know, but I'd be very

Anker's website states that they have distribution in Belgium and Germany, and they have a UK contact number. They must be available through some other stores over there, somewhere.

Prime from a customer standpoint is indeed about the shipping. But Prime from a seller standpoint (usually) means Fulfillment By Amazon. That means Amazon stores the product until there's a sale, then they pack and ship the product, an

Those cheaper copies for non-US markets are what's typically called (at least in the textbook world) as "international" editions. They're not allowed to be sold on Amazon, as per Amazon's policies. It's a shame
