I'm not sure how important that is to remember. The president is issuing the orders. The president is chief executive of the country. The president can't pawn off responsibility to some White House staffer or think tank. An execut

The best thing I can say about OAuth is that--as an identity dude--it keeps me gainfully employed. If only because people often implement it incorrectly.

I concur. I work in architecture for a large public cloud provider. I'd definitely double-check that something like this isn't already in the market (or open-source). It would be interesting to see a novel script though.

Civil asset forfeiture is when law enforcement seizes property of someone suspected of a crime. Jones was sued and lost. Now his assets are being liquidated to pay off (a small part of) the judgment against him. Two entirely different conce

It dates back to the constitutional ban on "ex post facto" laws. Meaning, the government can't retroactively make something illegal. Which is a good thing, IMO. So, for example, it's illegal at the federal level to manuf

Can we stop euphemistic language like this: > In a letter to staff, Houston said that the reduction in headcount would impact 528 people. He fired 528 people. That's what he did. Also, he impacted a lot more than the 528 people he f

First thing I do when playing a multiplayer game with proximity voice chat is to turn voice chat off. Makes play sessions much more enjoyable. Sure you may miss the 5% of chat that is actually tactical and relevant to the game, but it'

I'm not sure how this has anything to do with AWS. But I guess you can use it to confirm your idea about vendor lock-in if you're bound and determined to convince yourself you're right. For what it's worth, working at AW
