   This seems like a pretty bold and employee-friendly move. Google recently merged two large divisions, so there's going to be some redundancy. Most companies would resolve this with a layoff, but it sounds like they're trying a buy

   The attacker was going through the sign in flow on their own computer. In the MFA step, it shows you a number and asks to you press the same number on your phone. There's a screenshot of what this looks like here: https://gi

    Like you, I was saved by this once. I had a certificate with multiple domain names [1], and decided not to renew one of the domains. That caused the certificate renewal to fail, even though I was still serving content on the other domains.

    Over what time frame? They could easily spend that much over the next 5 to 10 years without outside investment (and they probably will).

    Milliseconds are a commonly-used unit. It doesn't really matter if 1 ms is too fine a granularity -- you'll just have to write "autocorrect = 500" in your config file instead of "autocorrect = 5", but who cares

    What's the error rate for human journalists? Based on my experience, I'd guess it's much higher than 1.3%.

    It's also highly-skilled, yet very boring work. The way it was described to me is that every major piece of equipment has a PhD assigned to it and their job is basically to babysit the machine and troubleshoot when things go wrong. US

    Cockroaches may be gross, but they have the property that they can survive almost anything -- which is of course what you want from a distributed, fault-tolerant database. As far as I know, "jank" only has negative connotations, a

    It's "robots.txt", not "robot.txt". I'm not just nitpicking -- it's a clear signal the journalist has no idea what they're talking about. That and the fact that they're using a log file with the

    Don't you think there's a difference between having short certificate lifetimes (which would be clear when the certificate is issued), and randomly revoking perfectly good certificates without warning?
