AdGuard is a Russian company, with Russian engineers, the majority of AdGuard developers and other employees working from Moscow, registered in Cyprus. Not a great recipe. Hard pass on security grounds.

There’s examples going back years to when they released the third party sales product, CartaX. Funnily there were internsl signs that there were problems with this product before it launched: “Andrea Walne, Carta's head of liquidity so

It appears as if they didn’t just mishandle the data, but also used that data to help investors price their offers based on several confidential factors.

Yes, I believe they were one of the first companies to have that feature. It was on my previous XC60 too, which was my primary car. I never experienced one case of phantom breaking on the highway, while I don’t drive a lot I believe 4-5 yea

It would be much more productive to ask why rather than to dismiss my observations as some sort of grunge against the CEO. See my other comments. I also have a Volvo XC60 with lane keeping, I find it's much more reliable than Autopilot

I've had my car for about the same length of time. It is fun to drive when it's working. The first two years were uneventful, but it was evident that the build quality was subpar and the software substandard. And I'm not refe

Tesla Model 3, owner here. The list of reasons why I will never buy a Tesla again is too long, but they pretty much all boil down to cheap parts and poor build quality. That goes for their software also, absolute junk.

Trevor Perrin, who co-designed the Signal Protocol, made the point that most people don’t have to do this. If a few people do, an adversary won’t know if the target is verified or not. If they MITM they might be discovered instantly. Which

Worse. Only a tiny fraction of child abuse material cases actually get investigated due to lack of resources… this debate about scanning is an insane distraction.

We were not even at a point where that question needs to be asked. Federal and state police, some of the best funded, equipped and trained police in the world are so inundated with cases that they are forced to limit their investigations to

That’s great and all, but I’d settle for my Model 3 Autopilot staying in its lane and not trying to slam me into the median.

Been a while since I worked on security at Patreon, but I have had some insight to Trust & Safety and Legal teams at Patreon, these allegations sound like absolute junk. Patreon is also pushing back: https://blog.patreon.com&

I just checked, this isn't true. I've Google Calendar entries from over 10 years ago. Where did you get the idea that they delete anything older than 2 years?

Much like the truism I heard over the last week “friends don’t let friends use us-east-1”, this is one I heard a few years ago “Everything under the Apache umbrella is shit or will turn to shit.”
