I frequently lock my computer (set the lock button on the touch bar so it's my fault, but in line with no haptic feedback) when I try to hit other buttons.

I actually enjoy the similarly priced dell laptops with USB-c and the dell dock. I also do hate the touch bar especially when it crashes.

It's nice to see this covered by The NY Times. Cell phone account security issues are among my top personal "getting hacked" fears.

Not a particularly useful comment but if you read the article it does say that there were admin credentials to the voting systems in the then publicly accessible data, so maybe. It does, however also say that there is no indication the data

I'm surprised they didn't have "sneakers" on this list. But then that is a bit of a counter example.

I think neither. There is a property of electricity that enables us to path it and observe the results which can be made Turing complete. The RNA computer is similar but utilizing the properties of RNA sequencing or restructuring. Take the

Also interested, good point. I read this everyday via mobile. It's pretty easy to get to, just nytimes.com and then the briefing is the first link provided I'm not up too early or it's Saturday or Sunday.

It would make drivers experience worse if they aggregated tips over weeks/months. This is primarily due to the "cash me out" feature where drivers may cash out a shift immediately upon completion.

It's also being used to hide cash in China. http://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/23/jeff-gundlach-has-a-theory-on...

Take a modified attackers point of view. Could you convince a cell phone store rep that you are who you say you are without your drivers license? Or, for a million bucks, could you make a cell phone store rep think you were someone else? Th

Yes, ID check is easily circumvented. People are the weakest link. The store reps are not government officials or police officers, nor do they scan ids. They may be convinced not to check your if, accept an id that isn't your drivers

No arguments but payloads and ammo are also things that enter bullet ridden environments.

There are certainly this type of thing out there. SSI or software security initiatives, when given greenlights based on buy in from governance can introduce secure processes. But before this happens to any meaningful level, risk based anays

We should understand the attack model better and the likelihood of a successful eye capture. We know that it's certainly less hard than knowing someone's password given a semi sane password policy, but more difficult than scraping

Anecdotally I do not notice any eye discomfort while using this n times per day. It's also not "bright" from my perspective but someone with this system would better answer the eye damage question.

I played an mmorpg for 630 days of playtime over two years of my life. I had saved up a good amount and was on a rather generous severance package during the financial crash. I recall my moment of change when a girl (irl) asked for a date a

I think that an important point in this vulnerability is that it does not violate the CFAA. From my, albeit limited, understanding of the CFAA, it requires access breach. Imagine this conversation were the user to have discovered a paramet

This article doesn't have much, if any, substance but I'm wondering if there is any different (more complete) sources people have read?

"If you must obtain a security certificate for compliance or regulator reasons, so be it." It's interesting that his argument is against certs for companies but then he looks at regulation as unchangeable.

I would offer the opposite opinion where the life lessons learned in a proper university's atmosphere can have (albeit less tangible) positive career effects. I'm frequently put in situations that draw on social skills that I hone

I would wonder if the whitelisting is in-house or part of their contract? If it's in-house then the added cost to maintain the whitelist (in-house expertise), while not much comparatively, isn't nothing.

Right, so now the conversation has moved away from the deletion of data.

I can play devil's advocate. The data is falsified and needs to be removed.

That's an interesting point. What are the challenges behind creating a licensing test similar to the ones we take as humans(could be virtual)? This would be before allowing the software on the road.

Good points. Though this is not a phone app and Dropbox does have a history of mistakes causing data loss. I assume it's true because: "If you don’t want Dropbox Update to run on your computer, you can uninstall the Dropbox appli

Does anyone know which crops would particularly be bolstered? It would be interesting to see what lagging effect this has on produce. Edit: not the point of the article.
