Yes, but NOT ONE government employee will be punished over this.

LastPass has had a few negative reviews re security (link below). Do you believe that 1password is much more secure, and do you trust them with all/most of your passwords? https://…

It's terribly sad, but you're smart to take on this approach. The world has turned into a shark tank, and more often than not, we're just toothless mackerel swimming in that tank, …

Oh please.... tech companies are NOTORIOUS for cannibalizing each other's ideas, IP, and designs. The general exit strategy these days is "Sell out before Google or Facebook says s…

I used to run an Airbnb on the side. It was a mad success, but took so much work that I stopped being a good engineer and all my coding projects went to shit. So I closed the Airbn…

You have adoption of crypto all the way up to the state level - you can now pay your taxes using BTC in Ohio. According to Binance, you can book over 450,000 hotels using their coi…

Sorry for the copy pasta, but they say it better than I do. "Historically, inversions of the yield curve have preceded many of the U.S. recessions. Due to this historical correlati…

HN provides most of my news for the tech world, and WSJ/CNN/NPR covers a lot of the USA, but what is your favorite newspaper for current affairs across Europe?

This is a terrible idea. When factual writing becomes anonymous, truth goes out the window. Having articles and papers peer-reviewed also does not solve the greater issue of a lack…

Please excuse my ignorance if I'm off about this. How come a site called LinuxSecurity.com is not being served over HTTPS? The login form seems active, but the registration form do…
