The best part about running a cybersecurity company: lots of easy, free marketing. It's a really good time to be in the industry. It is unfortunate that people are trusting companies to protect their information and it ends up being re

I can say with some confidence that the blame lies almost entirely with the stewards. Until we learn how to converge faster towards consensus, things are going to remain painfully broken for long stretches of time. The inhibitor here isn&#x

So they just started a campaign of attrition? They're going to lose unless other companies get on board. I'm assuming Canada was chosen intentionally, based on the data, to minimize losses. But this is going nowhere unless others

This whole incident has convinced me to actually use a tool like this, so I'm going to write one and distribute the extension code for free. I promise you won't be able to detect it, so good luck. I think anyone who wants the abil

Do any of these people understand that the autocomplete algorithm takes many other things into account? Like your personal search history, Google's internal dossier built on top of your usage of all their services, and even things like

What's especially shameful about all of this is that a ton of smart people rushed to condemn Applebaum before we had a complete accounting. If this many intelligent people can prematurely convict someone in the court of public opinion,

I know that tech company M.O. is creeping invasiveness by acclimating users to marginally more Orwellian incursions of their privacy over time, but are we already at the point where something like this can gain widespread acceptance? Seems

People need to focus more on getting results. We're collectively so steeped in posturing about technology stacks and idiosyncratic decisionmaking that we've missed the bigger picture: get something done. For instance, anyone who s

Because they're a monopolistic entity with unprecedented control of information flow. Nothing quite like this has ever existed. It's in the public interest that it be regulated precisely because it can control the outcome of elect
