This is the point I feel most as well. I think this trend of burning attention is both destructive in ways and depth we don't completely understand yet - possibly making unrecoverable damage to our society on ridiculously large scale -

So many comments mention bidet vs toilet paper or bidet as a solution to toilet paper shortage. This is so weird to me (and I guess to others raised in countries where the idea of not having a bidet is not even considered) because in the wa

I think that's not just your opinion, but rather the actual definition of scientific theory. Lots of popular science or introductory textbooks begin with this very definition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientif

That's true, but I think on one hand these are fairly rare cases compared to the whole industry while on the other there is also the point that these divisions might not be as stable and long-lasting as one might expect. Related, discu

I wish the best to the author and I hope he finds a great environment in Talos to do great things (afaict he probably will). However, and this is mostly for the sake of others reading this, be aware that the security industry has its own ve

I don't see your point, it's obvious that among billions _some_ made better choices, but collectively it's still our choices that led to this. And I think it's pointless to blame "titans of the industry" while

Advancement in tech are nowadays driven only by profit, which in turn is driven by sales, which prioritise what people are likely to pay for. People expect technology to be affordable and they really don't care what the effect of t

It seems to me that the article is missing a few of points on what "security by obscurity" means. From Wikipedia: "reliance [...] on design or implementation secrecy as _ the main method _ of providing security [...]" So

Not much against taking a compromised system down, but the provider can (should?) do that according to their ToS (and whatever containment / response procedures they have in place), not some targeted victim playing vigilante by running

The infrastructure provider (if any) has likely seen more of these than you can imagine and again, they have proper channels for this and the people who monitor them know how to handle it, they won't lash out on you. Same goes for the

That's really... not an appropriate response, and not only for the legal reasons others mentioned. Phishing sites can be / are often served by compromised hosts, so you might as well end up doxing a box who is not run by the b

If you face an adversary that is willing to torture you and can get away with it what you __really__ need is to deny the opportunity to do so. I find it naive suggesting that "Proof of inability to decrypt" can lead to a positive

well, to be honest, this sounds like kind of overselling reality. There is a system in place that tracks and records some things, like days off prescribed by base doctors, prescriptions for which national care pays and few other stuff, bu
