Sort of. But Google has a history of how it treats independent researchers.

Yup. It's pretty common for open source to be used, abused, modified in house and not shared. Just look at Sergey Aleynikov and Goldman Sachs. [0] Further I've seen a shop deploy hundreds of thousands of CentOS nodes to avoid R

If it's intended for tactical uses, it needs to be more robust to take more abuse in unfriendly terrain. ;)

It's not dangerous at all if there is sufficient salt balance in the diet. Heck, I drink DI water on a daily basis and have a low sodium diet replaced by potassium salt where possible.

If a prototype has been validated, go big fast with multiple concurrent efforts. The concerning detail is that the website lists this project as 2012. [0] Perhaps they were unable to get it working? 0 http://www.architectureandv

Agreed, it's probably the opposite. Folks that are struggling out of necessary tend to have respectable DIY artisans that are very resourceful and creative in the truest sense of hacker. (When you don't have much, your ability t

It also might depend if they were smart and have a vesting schedule for everyone. But that also means pushing people out may be selfishly advantageous in the short term, so it really matters to have known your cofounders long before the cu

Founders need to find more ways to be useful. If you have the hustle, get going on sales and biz dev. Because all the coding talent in the world doesn't matter if customers aren't buying or don't know about your app.

Beware of the chilling effects of collecting Google bounties, they will claim a reward is invalid if you've blogged about the vuln outside of their timetable.

It still doesn't get at two top points of meta: TLS is a horribly overfeatured, design-by-committee standard AND C makes it incredibly easy to screw up and so requires zealous attention to a defensive coding style to introduce fewer fl

"Failed MVP" is a contradiction in terms. (The V.) Sustainability implies pivoting into something people will pay for, you can build and convince them to use before cash runs out. If the team is highly motivated, they will not d

That was also my first reaction. It seems like just another lie even before it finishes leaving his mouth, another predictable broken promise, a priori.

Concrete Mathematics by Ronald Graham, Donald Knuth, and Oren Patashnik https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_Mathematics Also Knuth's TAOCP series are very formal and dense, in a good way.

To paraphrase Thomas, a core issue is getting the right eyes auditing code. We need more CTFs that offer cred and prizes to keep projects honest. Also, important core projects like OpenSSH, OpenSSL, GnuPG and core projects like zlib need

Yup, the threat horizon for Heartbleed only starts at March 14, 2012 with the first release of OpenSSL 1.0.1. http://openssl.6102.n7.nabble.com/OpenSSL-1-0-1-released-td3...

TLS has so many features that it factorially increases the attack surface to the size of the Milky Way. A much simpler nonrepudiated authenticated encryption scheme implemented in a safer language would be an ideal way forward. It also wou

Remote detectors have the double advantages of stealth and better positioning of components. Bel Pro RX75 Plus off the internet for a few hundred bucks and installing it was as easy as running a few wires. Radar under the fiberglass hood at

In California VC Section 28150, a LIDAR jammer in of itself can result in a ticket. Best to coast and switch it off very quickly. In my experience only about 20% of patrol cars used LIDAR, the majority seem to be using K or Ka band RADAR.

Thought you'd say that. :) Oh my grandfather carried a concealed pistol or plural everywhere that was legal.

And also be sure to get rich (Big-4 style) by offering to "fix" the system you helped break. Rinse, later, repeat.

Yup. One play might be to not display any affiliations or bumper stickers at all. If you have to advertise X, it seems like you're "trying too hard." Just as a non-cop, seeing NRA stickers is going to make me immediately a

Also anyone that can afford posting their own bond instead of lieu of an insurance requirement also has their own legal representation.
