If it's an internal tool that works great but doesn't look beautiful, then what incentive is there to fix it? All you would end up doing is changing the design without adding new features. Maybe some internal company tools are scr

That's not always true. A lot of the time, things are marked as classified because they were tangentially related to something else that was classified. It's just easier to do things that way, and people who work for the governmen

And somehow, by using Go, he managed to plug a resource leak.

If the airplanes are just capturing data that is already in public view (no expectation of privacy), then how is that any different from cameras mounted on buildings? One uses a plane to cover larger ground, and one is fixed. Neither one re

Historically, the agency has preferred to throw hardware at the problem. They like to design ciphers that are optimized for cheap and fast hardware implementations (like Simon). And even today, they still design/build a lot of hardware

That's not true. SELinux is something developed by the NSA (well, one of their contractors) and it has undergone intense scrutiny. Yet, it's an important part of Android.

I wish they had an Android app. Hopefully, it's in the works, because I would definitely try it out.

That's interesting, because I have had the opposite experience. The one time I used Uber instead of Lyft in NYC, I got a driver who was most probably a rapist. Whenever we passed a bar or any drunk girls, he would start telling me how

Yeah, that was obnoxious. The only link on the page I wanted to check out, I couldn't.

I live in Charlottesville and I, as a student, don't know anyone who is dissatisfied with their ISP. This is mostly a college town, and I think the students are the ones who would benefit most from higher bandwidth. To me, they don&#x2

And against gay marriage, too! His defenders will claim that although he does not like it, he will still allow it. But that's not true either, because he will leave it to the states to decide (and about half of them will decide to ban

Is there an error in the section named "Typed method can coexist with non-typed method"? There's a line that has `typesig :sum` but sum is never defined.

Pretty much all the seals you see on the bottom of a website are worthless. Nobody ever does an actual code audit. But it makes the users feel safe, so that's what matters.

I am wondering how difficult it would be to "push to elastic beanstalk". It would be kind of cool to have some sort of git daemon running in the background, so you wouldn't necessarily need to use a third-party CI service. Yo

The vendors would definitely fight with you. From their perspective, they have a profitable business model and they don't want anyone encroaching on it. If there is a market need, then they will be the one to fill it. In any case, do

Didn't Dominos do this a few years ago with a pizza delivery button? It was pretty cool but I never got one.

Like Palantir or AWS?

Yeah, pretty much. The two guys I know who worked at the NSA were both rednecks.

Was the attack actually sophisticated? Usually, when megacorporations get pwned, the attack is not sophisticated at all, but they pretend it is (for PR reasons). This page doesn't tell us much about the nature of the attack, which is

To me, it seems like a marketing strategy on MS's part. They know people expect good things from even releases and bad things from odd releases. I think they capitalize on that.

Was this guy affiliated with HTP? They were notorious for the ColdFusion exploit, for hacking Linode, and for hacking DARPA (or something like that). Edit: Some Googling turned up a pastebin result [1]. Also relevant are [2] and [3]. [1]:

Probably because of new developers. The last time I tried developing something in Django, it said it was running a webserver on 0.0.0.0:3000 or something similar. My classmate actually punched that into a browser, and it worked.

I wish I could have done this too. Braces were painful and actually scarred the inside of my cheeks. I can actually feel where the wires sliced my cheeks. Something similar, in another domain, is PocketDerm. They are also pretty cheap, and
