Same here. It's even a little worse because of the vagaries of Docker networking. I have a server, it has a firewall that has all ports blocked. If I install Docker to run some containers and use the --network=host option, it all wo

Docker could also enumerate the IP addresses on the host, and alert if there are any that aren't in RFC1918 space.

One big element is that a lot of large companies and non-profits run their insurance programs as self-insured. They pay the direct costs of the medical care of their insureds, and keep the annual premiums the entire employee-base pays. Th

The research I've read recently puts this concern on the Japanese side. They delayed their surrender, despite atomic attacks, until after it was clear that the Russians were starting to pivot to the Pacific theater, and decided it was

For more on this topic, I recommend _Bombing to Win_ by Robert Pape. It's an older book now, but it does a pretty good job of skewering the idea that you can cheaply achieve military goals by imposing suffering on civilians: https:&#

Simplifying the tax code is certainly sensible. Reducing the tax burden is not. As mandatory expenditures (medicare and social security) continue to increase as a percentage of GDP, the discretionary part of the budget (roads, defense, R&

I actually feel the opposite. I think we should make tax returns public, as they do in Norway: https://www.theguardian.com/money/blog/2016/apr/11/when-it-c... We'd need some small adjustments

Amazon/Ring is certainly eliding over the subpoena path to getting information. However, that path does require a warrant, and a judge's sign-off. The "just ask" approach doesn't, so I think both have their place.

It's a change, certainly, but mobile devices are a much bigger risk to your internal network than a Echo device is. Both are general-purpose computers inside, but the attack surface of a phone is way larger, and there are plenty of re

Perhaps, but does the same thing not apply to Apple iOS or Google Android devices? If an attacker finds a vulnerability in one of these common devices, they can compromise any of your users' devices and can then open file shares, exfi

Life expectancy at birth is a worthless statistic to compare to when looking at modern humans. Infant mortality was so high that it distorts the numbers. A more useful statistic is the modal age of adult death, which peaks between 65 and
