That's a very distorted and interesting view of the software industry as a whole.

Depends on what parts, entire products of the Sql server product line are in C#, like Sql Server Reporting Services for instance. The core sql server rdbms engine is hosting the .net runtime for a few things - but there its maginal compared

C# 1.0 was also boring and effective - modern versions are still effective, and I'd say they are more powerful. Golang in 15 years will likely converge and embrace many of the missing features of mature languages (its happening now alr

Cool to see C# being up there close to C and before Golang. I haven't used C# much over the last year due to job change but always felt like one of the most mature languages out there. Now working in Go and it's a bit frustrating

What is sad is that these investigations are coming always way too late (after the damage is done) and probably won't be resolved until another couple of years.

A key feature of Bitcoin is its transparency, because it's an open ledger accessible to anyone. The intent of Bitcoin is not to be anonymous, it's not a feature the designers were trying to a achieve.

Mmhh.. browsers cache things. When they do, they write things to disk- not sure if that is relevant here though. But for instance all images, many pages, etc are locally stored/cached by the browser.

What a bummer. Would be cool if it survived. Let's see, hope they can figure out details and share learnings.

You can argue they regrouped via the European Union, like both Austria, Hungary as well as Italy and France are members of the union - to name a few. They all even use the same currency too!

Can someone with more linguistic background compare this to Roman languages for me. Is this like saying Italian, French, Spanish are pretty much the same because they are Romamtic languages? Or English and German are interchangable, because

Pass the cookie attacks are problematic (e.g in case someone already has root access, which is the concern here). Hacker will just wait until after auth and steal your cookies.

GDPR makes it clear that uid or pseudo-ids that can be mapped to an individual are PII. This includes mapping two or more seemingly independent fields to de-anonyimze as well.

Google (as well as surveillance states) use security arguments conveniently a bit too often to try and justify their actions.

I totally can confirm this! It's gotten a little better over the years but still being critical of Google gets you downvoted and flagged quickly. Also worth highlighting that many HN members work for Google, so they have less incentive

It seems very unlikely that the majority system used (especially outside the US), would not be exploited - maybe they try to separate and say not the exact same webpage hosted Android exploits. But I havent seen any official statement from

Thanks for sharing, that's a great resource! This at the grand scheme of things hasn't gotten much attention I think.

Interestingly, no one has done a deep dive on what Android exploits were hosted on the site that Google discovered and talked about last week with the iOS exploits. Google has been utterly quiet about it, and kept only talking about iOS exp
