That's not my point, at all. The fact of the matter is that in political situations, there is a calculated risk taken by both states in a diplomatic conflict. At the end of the day it is about power and what resources are required to f

I don't have a lot of sympathy for this man's problems. When you're making your billions from the corruption in the Chinese state, you run the risk of ending up on the wrong side of it. It's no different than any other o

In this case "staff" appears to mean "hourly shift-based workers", eg restaurant staff. I agree it's a strange use of the term.

This is exactly how I feel about the situation. These types of covert games have just decided to become overt in hopes of riling up populations; they've been going on since the birth of nation states. However, Russia didn't actual

The GSMA could attempt to frame this as an extortion attempt against the company, as you have sensitive information you are asking them to pay for that you will be releasing to the public. How do you protect yourself against an angry consor

Were you actually requested to tip? If so, it seems strange. When I've gone to many kaiten-zushi places it is usually stated that you shouldn't tip at all (in Japan you don't). There used to be one like that downtown Berkeley

For being right in the shadow of Fort Meade, the National Cryptologic Museum is a really awesome place. It's also one of the only places in the US where you can actually play with working Enigma machines.

To be honest, you should probably not recommend something as secure if you have not fact-checked to make sure that the thing you have recommended actually emphasizes security at a minimum. While I am happy Copperhead OS is around, it only s

It doesn't take years to learn how to use expensive machinery. There's a bunch of stuff you can touch at TechShop - and potentially break - with a few-hour class and a review that you actually know how to use the thing.

I am aware of the strategy behind Uber's move. My comment above is "count me out". I doubt they'll lose even 1% of their installed userbase over this change.
