There's a lot to unpack here, but it seems that the gist of it is that things that happen in our society are because humanity is some kind of untamable animal, and that we should a…

Bug bounty appears to be a misnomer in this instance. Facebook is specifically asking for reports of security vulnerabilities in their policy: > If you believe you have found a sec…

Is this not the point of a Whitehat bounty program? To entice someone to discover and disclose a bug in a trustworthy manner? If they react this way, and can't trust people to atte…

> By backing a fundraising campaign on Kickstarter, you as the Backer accept that offer and the contract between Backer and Project Creator is formed. Kickstarter is not a party to…

Touche. You'll be the first invited to my new BGCTaaS business then—Backup to Grandma's Coffee Table as a Service.

Is there something special he's done to get this much milage out of the car? It's only rated for about 300mi on a full charge, so I'm curious if it's just luck, or more?

I'd imagine that for legal/security reasons, you'd get about the same response as any other company: "We use better than industry standard encryption on private repo data, encrypte…

The difference is, we in The West have the right to choose what to consume, or be "brainwashed" by, and China's government chooses for them. Which would you prefer?

A thousand times this. It makes me sad that you have to worry about this :(. But if there's that strong a bias against your name, you probably don't want to end up actually being p…

It may be absurd, but it's not at all uncommon. Sending group invites via SMS is an incredibly kludgy experience, and following the path of least resistance, is so unrealistic when…

Thing looks like a giant Apple Magic Mouse[1] bolted to your wall. [1]: http://store.storeimages.cdn-apple.com/4572/as-images.apple....

This article and title are super misleading—the title appears to be a flat-out lie, in fact. It spends five paragraphs ranting about the issue until it finally concedes: > "...Das …

Amazon has an established reputation as a low-priced retailer, and stakes its reputation on that. Twitter seems to intend this as more of an ease-of-purchase kind of feature. My ex…

It's a really clever idea, but something about "JPG Internet: Get your FREE JPG" made me think it was a joke at first.

Hmm, indeed. I would still argue that this is an issue of the individual, since they are ultimately the entity responsible for deciding what is a valid point of reference, regardle…

It's a fair point, but the issue is agnostic to the subject matter. Rather, the root problem is that a person or people is/are inclined to look to a fictional comedy as a point of …

This is an awful lot of analysis on the social implications of a movie created by the guy who crafted Beavis and Butthead. If you are cultivating your outlook of the future from Id…

Is there any proof of this actually being packaged up and sent to EA? It seems to me that this is probably like Blizzard's Warden process, which actively scans for hacks while the …

Claiming a medical company's life-saving device will kill your family on national news will almost without a doubt land you on the receiving end of a libel lawsuit, warranted or no…

Going way back on Reddit, I remember MrGrim modestly posting that he had created an image host just for Reddit, imgur.com. It's pretty wild to see him and imgur have come this far.…

This is foolish logic. AirBnB vouched for the trustworthiness of this "David" fellow through their "Verified" badge. This is also their duty and responsibility as the facilitator b…

I recommend reading the article before commenting. It is clearly a joke app--the sample text leaves no doubt about that.

If you were Valve, what would you do? Without the servers, the game is completely useless, and they probably recognized that fact. Being that this is the first time in 9+ years tha…

I wouldn't be too worried about this. Batman: Arkham Asylum and Arkham City both utilized GFWL, and Rocksteady (the developer) simply released a patch that removed the GFWL softwar…

These are irrelevant questions, as the article specifically states that he is in support of regulation: "...Tom Wheeler, appeared open in 2011 to letting wireless giant AT&T Inc. a…
