What's the root problem that's trying to be solved? Allowing people to finally discharge student loans in bankruptcy, or increasing private liquidity in education lending? This seems like it all reverts to a tax policy in the end,

At what point do security dumps become 'public' and legal to disseminate? Is there a framework for determining what is legal to provide to Brian Krebs or Haveibeenpwned.com? Would it have been illegal of Brian Krebs to pay money t

It seems much of the disagreement may stem from lack of consensus around the semantics of: 'responsibility' 'requirement' 'obligation' 'should' 'can' I believe responsibilities are person

Legally, absolutely agree with you. GP's playground analogy was a particularly bad choice in that context. Socially though - I don't see an issue with holding major projects socially responsible for egregious failure to fix securi

No, no, no - none of this is about legality. Just sometimes people bring it up as a framework for determining responsibilities, so I addressed it ahead of time. I don't think (legal requirements) == (responsibilities). The sets may hav

Injuries are a different case. I'm in the same set as you, and my father as well. As long as he and I do ~20 pushups per day and maintain a bit of focus on improving/maintaining our posture during various activities - backpain is

Covering your face/gait/etc also doesn't matter if someone can autonomously track the "faceless blob" from your house, to everywhere you go, and back to your house again. We're getting pretty close to that in s

The movie Gattaca showed in detail how routine spoofing of a variety of IRL DNA samples could work.

My understanding is that you don't even need to do a SIM swap, because the SS7 signaling system is insecure. SIM Swap is likely the easiest way as wage-slave employees are quite pliable to bribes[0]. But if you want to be even more ano

Employers can also stop paying $6,000/year[0] for middle-class health insurance and add that to middle-class paychecks, and then the government can take it in the form of taxes, to provide the health insurance. The difference is that t

Seems like something that will happen eventually in the next decade or three. I can imagine a business model where instead of collecting a vial of saliva, a company rents you a fully automated desktop DNA sequencer. The data can live on you

That's a great transparency report and I'm stoked to see that you actually appear to actively fight invalid legal requests for data. According to your "Guide for Law Enforcement"[0] ... It's really just by luck&#x2F

Yeah it's way too expensive. I decided that it probably technically is net positive for organizations with a heavy billable hours situation (contract engineering shops) because it can easily save more than $60/mo per person of tim

I had this fleeting thought as well but, the list of affected airports are all very benign. There's nothing of note in Wayne County, OH.

Trint[0] has a wonderful UI/UX for exactly this. I'm not sure if they're using the latest & greatest ML models, but even years ago I was pretty blown away. I still am. It's one of the most "right" products

You are implying that effort should be correlated to pay. It isn't. The hardest job I ever had was being a bartender/barback at a very busy bar - it sure didn't pay much. It's possible that one programmer can bring gener

You see this in young puppies (3-6 month old) a lot as well. They get irritable/exhausted after 15-30 minutes of training, and usually dont seem to learn anything at all during the training activity itself. Then they pass out ("na

ChromeOS is also used for all docker instances on Google Cloud Platform (GCE)...so I doubt development is dead in the water.

Great correction. That still describes a "relatively inelastic commodity" (PED = 0 < x < 1) so I think it does make a decent example but readers may need to change the magnitude of some of the numbers. In case anyone is inte
