It's honestly really stressful using systems which do this. I have to worry about the signals I'm sending to the system all the time. Did I hover over that clickbait too long? Did I alt-tab while a song I liked was playing? Did I

Yeah it's possible that was it, but also "Through an internal audit, the NSA determined that Winner was one of six workers who had accessed the particular documents on its classified system". The lesson to take away is that m

Yes, that's why corporations, even the most perfectly good ones in the world, still value their ability to keep things private.

It applies even more outside of a courtroom. Most people get information via very agenda-driven news articles, and not having "making sense of weird situations" as their day job, they're even more likely to be misled than ju

It sounded like the set of documents was what was used in that case (look for all people who have accessed every single document in the leak, then investigate those people more thoroughly)

Sure they can factor it in to the prices they charge, but it'll serve to make buying more attractive as an option on a relative basis, which will make it harder to make money buying and renting housing out.

Doing it in reverse (give a credit / deduction against real estate taxes for an individual who owns and lives in their own home) works fine.

Tires last too long to make this practical, I think. Let's say a set of tires lasts 30,000 miles. California's current gas tax is 67c/gallon. Let's assume a very efficient 40 mpg. That's 1.6 cents / mile. You&#

It's a trade-off. Imagine you have some DNS servers at a POP. They're connected to a peering router there which is connected to a bunch of ISPs. The POP is connected via a couple independent fiber links to the rest of your network

FB did not totally disconnect from the internet as far as what I observed. They broke their backbone (from the blog post, as well as seeing that their edge was returning 503s during the incident), and FB withdrew specific BGP announcements

It's less vague than you realize. It points out that the problem was within Facebook's network between its datacenters. This not only suggests it's related to express backbone, but also suggests that the DNS BGP withdrawal wh

As a start, every publicly traded company in the US publishes an annual and quarterly report that is available to anyone for free. Those generally have quite a bit of information about what's going on with the company, its structure, f

Having shares that have different rights is not really a new practice. For instance, it's what allows VCs to invest with more likelihood of recouping their investment, while still allowing for employees to get shares with a different p

Nothing prevents it, except practicality: running enough fibers to support a terabit point to point is already hard enough. Add in needing to support millions of people and it becomes impossible. As is, internet routers and fiber links alre

That's not how it works. It's hierarchical. Someone with an ad to show doesn't send the ad to the web site that wants to show the ad. Instead it just tells that web site "I'll pay $.005 if you show my ad", then

But where does system() come in to play then? If you're not dealing with privileged/setuid programs, then a program which calls system() isn't doing anything that you couldn't do yourself. A well crafted sudoers file can

I think the post is really confused about what that advice is trying to talk about. It's not talking about programs which call system("sudo ..."), but rather programs which have privileges which want to run other programs. Th

I agree with you, I think? Whether you call such a list a registry or not is fairly trivial, I think. Their web server uses such a mapping, and for some reason usernames with suffixes on that list confused something. Call it a registry, or

Officially no such registry exists. In practice, Apache does have such a registry by default: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/conf... and other systems do use that mappi

Why would someone want this? If I need a database of devices in DNS I can just buy one domain and create subdomains for each device myself. It'll cost way less than $0.99/device/year.
