I imagine the hacker was somewhat upset by the fact that the victim seems unlikely to be able to pay up and people are about to start dying soon. Having blood on your hands is not only a different matter ethically, but changes the likelihoo

I work in Google and have seen distinguished engineers switch to management. They typically get a small number of direct reports, all of them directors.

Can we have a link?

I'm not familiar with the US hospitals... But pretty much everywhere else I've seen the doctors and nurses being seriously overworked. Is this different on the other side of the pond?

Anecdotally Apple in Europe was fine to send an iPhone to a person in a different country, obviously different name, while opting out of 3d secure.

Isn't it a simple matter of cost/benefit? If you're out of 300 bucks, and you estimate there will be a X% chance of getting that back investing Y hours at Z salary, you have a rather simple equation.

Companies that employ software engineers likely are divided into those that have that role and those that don't have it yet .

What we're missing is the valley, where huge piles of cash are in search of anywhere to go to. Where as little as a sales pitch can give you backing to hire fifty people for two years... After which everyone figures out the idea wasn&#

Google runs microservices, so when the public postmortem mentions pipeline, it is a series of servers talking to each other. The problem happened towards the end of the pipeline, after multiple processing steps of the original user input. F

As a Googler privy to the internal postmortem: as stated in the public postmortem, all traffic was unaffected within 33 minutes of the problem appearing. The bug was very on/off: at 09:35PT a corrupted configuration stopped ~immediatel

Being a Googler privy to the internal postmortem: there was no way to trigger this externally (the faulty server is in the control plane) AND triggering this by a Google engineer would require some determination and leaving a ton of audit t

180km/h Edit: this doesn't make it my average speed, as much of the time is spent decelerating because of whatever is happening and accelerating back. The average through that 850km stretch is likely closer to 160km/h, I shou

Sure these are fine cars, but the "7 seater" is actually significant to me. I don't think even Cayenne does that, despite being larger. And being large is a significant disadvantage where I live.

This made me tremendously sad. I've been waiting for the Y 7 seater to reach Europe. Now I feel betrayed by none of the reviews I've ever glanced making this clear. And I'm at a loss on what car to hope for instead.

You would be neither the first nor the last with an idea how to DOS Microsoft. Being the receiving end of ideas like that is bread and butter for any of the tech megacorps.

Model S was launched almost 10 years ago, that's enough to get a car out of shape. Then, we're talking about a first generation product of a company learning how to deal with any of that. I don't find it surprising they'

Distributing small chunks of text sounds like the wrong problem to call "hard". It is building trust in them. Problems with the web of trust are well documented and pretty much boil down to "random people in the Internet tu

That's hypothetical though. If I needed to replace my car with an electric today, the only game in town is Tesla and even that would be a painful slowdown for my semi-regular roadtrip (13h according to Google Maps + 2h40m of charging a
