Was it JTRIG? In any case, here are links to the stories from the Intercept. https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2014/02/24/jtrig-manipula... https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2015…

Fair point, perhaps I should have phrased it more as a technology with similar applications. I find it interesting that there are parts available now, albeit made on a 180nm proces…

I hope someone will give a push behind MRAM which seems like a more interesting option imo. MRAM has similar performance to SRAM, similar density to DRAM but much lower power consu…

Another point is the fact that mobile Safari wont allow the use of plugins. A wild guess is that ad blockers are the most common plugin that people use, so it doesn't seem unreason…

"I never commit to memory anything that can easily be looked up in a book." Albert Einstein It seems like this tests a) how much you want to work at Google and b) how good you are …

Yes, Gmail is definitely a brand but I don't need to have a Gmail account to send an email to someone who does.

I don't really get the first point about scale and brand, because the examples you give like email are built on open protocols, so it's the protocol itself that is the brand. I don…

You could keep pointers to both the head and tail in the list object though. Then adding and removing stuff would be O(1) for both ends.

Something is odd with that site. If I enter https://www.freakattack.com it reports Safari 5.1.10 as safe from the attack. If I simply enter https://freakattack.com it reports it as…

I doubt that would work well in practice. The reason is that timing is extremely important for this to work, if you're even one sample off you'll here a faint sound, and more than …

But it's only commercial in the sense that it permits commercial use, but it also explicitly leave the creator out of any compensation beyond attribution.

I think it's understood that what is done in public is public, however that is not the same as having the same information recorded, analyzed with facial recognition and machine le…

Can't this just be turned off with the Spotlight setting in system preferences though? For browsers it seems to be the same for all that uses the unified search field, it was last …

I don't think it's that clear cut, there are some inherent challenges related to privacy and internet, a persons past that may influence future opportunities in a way that's not re…

It's a bit more, the bool type can only hold two values, 0 and 1. (6.3.1.2 Boolean type #1) "When any scalar value is converted to _Bool, the result is 0 if the value compares equa…

> I give Linus a pass. Given the success of the project and the size of the team, I would rather have a foul mouthed Linus than perhaps no kernel and no Linux. This appears to be a…

In Apple's case, they use the ARM ISA but implement their own micro architecture and from vvhn's comment seems to also use a co-processor specifically for the secure enclave. But t…

It sounds more like they are using a Cortex-A5 to gain access to TrustZone with an existing x86 core.

It's a bit less than 4 in 100,000, which I think is an easier number to relate to.

But enabling private communication is not the same as a public free for all. Some information should use private communication, but not be shared publicly, some examples that comes…

In this case it's removal of your own data, so it's self-censorship if anything.

It's different in principle. I'm not saying that this will be easy to manage in practice, that's not the point I was trying to make. There seems to be some clear cut cases however,…

How so? It's not requests from the state that are discussed but from individuals. It also seems to be in line with Eric Schmidt's comment about how teens should have the right for …

It's published under the CNN name, which lends a whole lot of credibility to the story. Even if CNN is not taking responsibility they probably should, and this incident is a good i…
