I got out of the landlord game a couple years ago because I was tired of the drama, but my biggest source of resistance to lowering rent was the constraints on raising it. Beyond that, I never had a single unit go unrented for more than a

Security engineers around the world have been working for decades to clean up the mess made by engineers, product designers, and business owners overlooking security because it's inconvenient. If you are a developer or engineer then ea

yeah, except that in practice, alot of "fast development" happens on platforms where engineers ignore updates that aren't explicitly flagged as security because the want a stable environment, then when the security bug hits,

No, it really isn't. The court requires someone to notice the pattern, or be aware of the pattern, and be willing to risk their reputation. With a union, the onus is on the business to act right, or risk labour action where the SRE f

I expect there are automated tests, but it's been my experience that automated tests are usually not very deeply implemented. They often test the expected code paths, and new code, with new tests that fail to review the existing tests

I agree with you on the accessibility angle, from the perspective of users with reading disabilities, color blindness, etc. I am not sure if that was the angle you were aiming for. As for the accessibility of the ideas, they are presented

Yep. You're correct. For these limited number of satellites in this limited orbit, it's not a huge issue. Neither were ride share services when they first rolled out, and yet there is at least one study showing that ride shares

Oh, oh no. There is a missed opportunity here. Common lootboxes drop a line of code, uncommon an entire method, rare, a full object, and legendary are working samples.

Given that Firefox already has mechanisms related to exactly this for malicious sites, bad plugins, etc, etc, etc, that is most likely the case.

I think that everyone is poo-poo-ing this because it means there would be lasting consequences for prioritizing permissionless innovation over solid engineering practices coupled with defense in depth. Given the audience for this site, it&

Much respect to Microsoft and their new found love of bounty programs, but pioneer is a bit of a stretch - they launched their first bounty program in 2013, well after third party bug bug buyers like ZDI, and even after BugCrowd and other b

Yes, and it took around 20 years to go from the patent for the first underpinnings of applications for phones other than communication in the 1970s to Simon Personal Communicator in the early 90s, and then another 10-15 years for the first

Even better, targeted attacks against a person to collect their voice could involve contacting them for an opinion survey regarding a product, survey, or political opinion they value. Gleaning something like that from social media profiles

Your comparison is invalid. Consumers generally tolerate that network management for some things is ok, for example, constraining the transfer speed of users at peak times. This is a different scenario - the comparable scenario would be th

Blending CLI and GUI is not unique to X11; at least since .net was released on Windows this has been very easy, and it's not even that hard if you want to do this from the Win32 API. There are also a few windows "command line&quot
