So only public universities count, but not private ones? School ID's are not considered valid identification for any other government form, (I-9, W2, etc), so I don't think it makes sense to say they count here as well.

We need to have harsh penalties for this. People who don't understand the complex systems they were able to access, might introduce vulnerabilities that more malicious entities can exploit. An example of this would be a student at a un

First of all, Facebook is not a utility. No matter what you think, it is literally not classified a utility at this time. Second, just because governments, companies, or people choose to use it to communicate, does not mean it is a utility.

Basically every Fortune 500 company is guilty of this. Most corporations loyalties go Shareholders, Employees, Government, Customers in that order. It is more shocking to me that anyone is surprised Facebook puts profit over people. I would

Should we ban all telecoms too? I mean people used phones on networks to commit genocide as well. While we're at it, we should ban iPhones as well because they used them to communicate. What a stupid argument.

It is not illegal to ban someone from using your product, (assuming they are not being discriminated against as a protected class).

This is a TERRIBLE idea. Turning Facebook into a government entity, (or even making an org to regulate it), is as anti-American as it is unconstitutional. Take away 230 protection status and if the company survives great, otherwise another

I just wanted to point out that obtaining a security clearance is not nearly as hard as you make it sound. For most organizations prior recreational drug use does not preclude you from the clearance.

>Assuming the competitors are currently or have incurred expense in dealing with it, the only reason left (as I see it) would be altruism on their part in banding together with a competitor. Its not just altruism. If you expend resources

I think you're drastically overestimating the competitive nature of business. I don't know your personal experience, but this sounds like a naive perspective. The number one thing a business cares about is the bottom line. None of

I can't agree more, 6 kids, (5 under 7), and my wife had to give up a low 6 figure job as it didn't make financial sense to pay childcare. Things will get better...

To me, this seems like a convoluted way to hide malicious actions as research, (not the other way around). This smells of intentional vulnerability introduction under the guise of academic investigation. There are millions of other, less cr

We have expected productivity requirements on a bi-weekly basis. The expectation is that if you finish 2 weeks worth of work early, then the next iteration you will get slightly more work. Of course this isn't 100%, (obviously someone

I think what he meant was that by being together and discussing problems we solve them a lot faster. This is absolutely true in my job. If I didn't know my team loved being remote so much, we would have been back in the office as soon

You're looking at market share among consumers. Check server marketshare and come back.

Boom, hit the nail on the head. There is absolutely no other reason to include this information in the blog other than to set up this (lack of) narrative.

I think most sane people agree with this; its a tweet, delete it and move on. But we live in a world where supposed virtue and feelings matter more to some people than rational thought. If I were an interested party in Figma and this tweet

You're forgetting the stock is 125% over shorted. There literally isn't enough stock for shorts to cover their current positions. That's why there is potential for infinite, (huge) gains as long as everyone holds.

You can verify the installed version on Android with the Github repo version. Yes you can essentially check a hash.

The software on the server doesn't matter, as long as the encryption is solid on the device. That's the whole point, the devices handles all encryption/decryption so the server can't understand any of the data coming and

I think he meant "iPhone models" when he said "devices". I'm not the op, but they definitely do optimize per model, not individual device.

Technically they could get the signature key, but they can't force Signal to publish it via the store. Users would have to download an .apk file and install it directly. At that point there is no reason to have the signing key at all a

I didn't make the equivalence of iOS to XP, the commenter did. I did pick iOS 12 to make a point, but you're right it is apples to oranges, and that's also proving my original assertion. The original comment was that Apple sh

Before the decision, jailbreaking was not considered a violation of the DMCA. Apple sued and lost trying to make it one. So your premise that Cydia was somehow in violation of DMCA at the time is completely false.

I might be biased as an app developer, but if apps are done properly they can provide a much deeper experience for users. I understand your point that most things can be done in a cross platform manner, however in my 10 years of mobile deve
