The "one bug was found" only goes for exploitable security vulnerabilities. There have been many other, less impactful bugs. This is still an an impressive archievement, especially because DJB chooses to juggle with chainsaws and

There's no inherent reason SD cards have to be like this, more sophisticated SSDs are designed to stay readable after power loss. But most SD cards are cheap and nasty so they don't.

The only way Google "needs" to collude with corporate MITM tools is its desire to court user base from corporate IT depts (allowed de jure in many countries that have weak privacy legislation). Usually Chrome is eager to show secu

The "about" text says they're geographically correct routes, but direct great circle paths between departure/destination airports of flights. Not to say there aren't any, see sibling comment.

Labour force participation rates by sex: USA: 70.2% for men, 57.7% for women. Europe (OECD countries): 79.7% for men, 62.6% for women. So it's more common in EU for women to work than their sisters in the US, but the gender difference

Link local addresses are not meant for application level use in IPv6 so bringing them up would only be confusing. LL addresses are used for stuff like router advertisement, neighbour discovery (IPv6 equivalent of ARP) etc. You can't us

According to rumors JFK used dexamphetamine. Probably Hitler also had access to the better amphetamines. Contrary to common belief meth is significantly different and nastier (neurotoxic). There's a section of meth vs amphetamine on W

A fragile and too complex to troubleshoot system is an unreasonable tradeoff to support these niche use cases. Find better solutions or live with the old level of service. I suspect the PR cost of having imperfect multiseat support is insig

FWIW Nixon has a pretty good record compared to, and was more liberal than Obama. Nixon created the EPA, made peace on multiple fronts, instituted many pivotal social justice programs etc. Obama himself said Nixon was more liberal than him

It's basically easy and cheap (once customer base grows from spooks & diplomats to general public) but it will seriously hamper your 4G, and wifi too if you want intra-building insulation.

That theory isn't widely accepted (like you'd see if you looked it up on wikipedia). mises.org is a libertarian organization advocating the austrian school of economics, which is often quite divorced from reality.

These features debuted way before the 80s, arguably with the exception of out of order execution. Take any feature discussed and its wikipedia history section will tell you about CPUs and computers in the 60s that first had them. Caches, SI

If you're going to break backwards compatibility it would be better to spend the pain on a modern format instead of reviving an arcane and previously unimplemented part of the old JPEG. Like the article admits, we know how to do signif

Present day Russia is very much a laissez faire capitalist society. Money and power are pretty liquid, taxes are low, and self-interest is everybody's assumed motive. Perfect system of incentives, no? (This is why the political scene i

While you are kind of correct in that a memory channel doesn't do multiple concurrent transfers, single-threaded memory-bound workloads definitely leave significant main memory performance on the table in most cases. (And if not memor

It's good to keep spreading awareness and AFL is cool. As for proving new things... fuzzing has been actively used for security research for 15+ years, and by now it's common knowledge that C/C++ programs are rarely safe agai
