You should talk to an employment lawyer before you go to HR or anyone in your company. You also have the right to file a complaint with the EEOC, but I would not do that until you …

You can contact a consumer law attorney to get this fixed. There is an attorney's fees provision in the FCRA which will make it economical to pursue the remedy.

So basically, an integer overflow causes the whole mess. I wish I could say that I was shocked, but here we are.

This is astonishing . > We determined that the issue was being caused by unintended interaction between the Microsoft Teams app and the underlying Android operating system. As some…

I don't have a written source, but I think it's safe to say that the majority of elected offices in the United States are local/municipal, and many (most?) of those are unpaid. And…

Could you explain what Signal is doing to discourage contributions?

Just going to point out - ending single family zoning doesn't mean building a single family house is prohibited, it just means that you can build things other than a single family …

They also don't support wheelchairs, which in the United States would tend to violate the ADA.

Yeah. I'm sorry your parents didn't know better. I've seen a bunch of young people being given the horrible advice by their parents of talking to the police, which is a huge no-no …

> Now that I'm a misdemeanor(er?) The proper word is misdemeanant. ;)

> if you try to sit down and try to start the work and just CANNOT emotionally bring yourself to do the work or get your brain to engage, then it's probably something more than jus…

No, you're absolutely right. The author complains that with physical possession of the device that it's possible to transfer Signal's private key material to a new device, leaving …

TL;DR of article: Signal transfers key material upon migrating to a new device if you use the "transfer messages" workflow. As a result, safety numbers do not change. I don't see h…

You don't have to associate with anyone as a private individual if you don't want to. In the present case, the school district is an arm of the state and cannot punish a student fo…

Are new residents not as much of a resident as existing residents?

I don't think the city council is oppressing anyone by having the police issue citations to people who wake me up at night with their obnoxious mufflers. The personal satisfaction …

I feel like this would be the one legitimate criticism of Section 230, but I don't really know how you would "solve" this problem. Maybe a DMCA-esque system for defamation, but on …

The unstated assertions that a person simply visiting Parler or Gab is a form of harm to others is astonishing.

Respectfully, how exactly would federation have helped with this outage? Signal's own official clients failed to properly back off from spamming the server with incessant requests.…

Can somebody clarify if I'm correct in believing that feature flags are client features that can be activated server-side (as opposed to an app update)?

Unfortunately, I believe this is correct. I received over 1,000 messages from one contact of mine that had the message of "secure session reset". It seems his phone tried to reset …

This isn't true at all. It uses Signal Protocol and is end-to-end encrypted.

Campaign finance, presumably.

I don't like attacking the author for not being a lawyer (mostly because I am not a lawyer either), but it's quite clear to me that their legal interpretation is completely wrong. …

Because the laws of physics trump the laws of the sovereign? I agree with the position that law enforcement should be able to attempt to access communications with a judicial warra…
