I think we should get to see every congress member and senator's portfolio, with a 3 business day lead on any of their trade instructions.

iMessage is sandboxed, and does attachment processing in yet another sandbox (the exploit is named BLASTpass as it circumvents this). These days iMessage itself is probably more tightly sandboxed than other apps. It sounds like the exploit

He was not a congressman at the time he did this. It's absurd that if he made use of the same secret information but while employed as a congressman (even if he was overseeing the merger) would mean he was fine.

On my phone the article stops abruptly with a “continue reading in the app”??? [edit: now with glasses I can read the subtle “click to expand” link beneath the vibrant blue app link]

The depressing thing is looking at the performance cost of so many of these mitigations that are fundamentally due to the use of unsafe languages. It results in a somewhat pernicious effect: a person can compare their unsafe language to a s

As someone pointed out "1.5 million in cash" for not doing the job you were hired for is .. not zero. I'm fairly sure I could achieve the same results for considerably less. Moreover making compensation dependent on stock pri

Why would anyone trust that a future change will be better? or more importantly that Unity won't try to reintroduce this again in the future? I don't see a path where Unity can meaningfully do anything to regain trust - they'

So this is a $300k/year medication but is apparently just (per the article) a combination of existing approved and developed drugs? As in the cost of development for this seems largely to be covered by the cost of development for the o

Thanks! I didn't think to search for "phase" despite that being an obvious term when wondering about trials.

But today that does not happen, so given how people like this are punished today , what is the correct financial penalty? In general threats and stalking are only meaningfully punished when brought up during sentencing for subsequent assau
