It doesn't sound like they plan on running the company for very much longer.

I'm not going to go over all the evidence again, but no, that is not the case. There is much more than just CrowdStrike's findings here.

For one: if you're using Above Top Secret as a source... But anyway: there's a lot of sensationalizing and outright falsehoods when it comes to attributing things to the Russian government, no doubt, but we do know they leaked t

I think the evidence shows the vast majority of cases of homosexuality are genetic in origin, but my understanding is there's some evidence there could also be an environmental role (be it exposure to certain substances or perhaps even

This is a big issue with the CIA tool leaks. The really interesting part is who they're using the tools against and how often; the tools themselves, devoid of context, aren't really very interesting. If they're using this to

Could you elaborate? I don't really know much about relabeling. The company seems to be claiming that the infringing company is selling products under company A's name when they have no actual affiliation, which sounds like ordina

Unless you start spending more time online when you factor in the time spent waiting for page loads, plus potentially getting distracted and opening more tabs while waiting.

Yes, we should be skeptical of all news sources, but from my experience, traditional newspapers tend to consistently misreport information security news. I personally only trust security blogs and Twitters operated by certain security exper

Any use of a zero-day risks burning it, and this was one of NSA's most potent zero-days. I imagine they used it rarely and wisely; probably trying other exploits first.

Absolutely, but for many those stories to gain traction in the first place, often there needs to be a marketing seed of some sort. That's where the "fake news" machinery comes in. (Of course, some sizeable subset is a chain m

Okay, but they're still very different things one is inhaling. E-cigarettes could easily be far, far safer than cigarettes while still being dangerous.

`->` in Scala is also just a method, but I think it's fair to call such things syntax even if they're not true "baked-in" language syntax.

No, but it's visually clearer to me at a glance. It feels weird using letters, let alone full English words, to describe a mapping or anything else that I think a symbol is more suited for. To me it would feel like assigning a variable

I like that a lot, but the `to` syntax bugs me. Why not a colon, or Scala's `->`?

I find it a huge improvement over Java, but I wish it would have more syntax sugar for lists/arrays/maps like Swift and dynamic languages do. The mix of "hip" programming language constructs with unchanged Java verbosity

At least when it comes to synths, check out Syntorial. It's very similar to what you want, though it only covers a certain kind of synthesis. http://www.syntorial.com
