It must be hard, as an employee, to be asked to consider these types of actions at your job.

"It's not opening the source that makes the software more secure. It's enough reviewers or white hats looking at the code. Security vulnerabilities in Linux (both kernel and user s…

>and every time they would call or send another letter I would tie up 1-2 hours of one or more phone reps time. That's an extremely large personal investment, I'm sorry you ended u…

Evaluate the areas of human interaction or places where some could be and try to make those better. Instead of just thinking that a technical challenge is there be all end all of r…

Direct loom to table.

You posed an interesting point which my mind immediately went to: How do you think 2008 apple would do against the sole of today given today’s technology?

I think that after you realize the limits of your (and our) technical ability to defend against attacks, you can then apply a threat model to see which attacks are not practical gi…

Didn’t look it up for source but I thought hacking was coined by model train enthusiasts, “hacking” together train sets.

That’s very complex compared to a model I was thinking about while reading this article. Consider that many forms of sword fighting remove the complexity by creating zones. I’ve be…

Interestingly I get the same in NYC. Asked a friend who gave me a detailed explanation which I have almost entirely forget right now... but something to do with car detection. If y…

Right. This is why we typically speak about defense in depth. Input sanitization works best when applied to known expected inputs, like a phone number or dob. Output encoding is th…

Can anyone comment about m the language being strong enough to block incentives for selling user data through fast lanes?

I’m sure the the op knows this. The point that was made is that the article’s title stated that FB staff is using that term to describe children. The article doesn’t actually suppo…

While I agree with your sentiment I believe that body builders and strength trainers do experience this as they reach semi(pro) levels. It is extremely hard to do and is often an i…

The way you worded this implies that it helps a very small number compared to how much housing it takes away. Isn’t it the same number?

Humans may also be the best at handling what you stated. You’re comparing us to robots but if you say humans were designed then our collective knowledge limits us to 1 at present. …

Thank you for the story, I find this fascinating! I’m really surprised how easy it was to accidentally grow this. Is this a 1/(very high number) chance occurrence or is it a somewh…
