This just isn't true... you've heard of "no comment" right? And the ability for the police to invoke the requirement for you to provide your PIN is behind the tests of specific leg…

This. It's all within a democratic and legal framework, from GDPR to organisational policies. The source is the police themselves informing the public of the trial. The actual came…

Google and Cloudflare recently moved their PQC migration timelines forward based on recent research papers in the field. Sources: 1. https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/technolog…

I wouldn't categorize it as a panic. Standards and security organizations are recommending moving to PQC based on projections of capability. CloudFlare and Google recently moved th…

Fair challenge, you're right that there's nothing sophisticated about this type of activity, but if you look at Lazarus activity this is their ttp. I mentioned TraderTraitor, go lo…

100%. I can't find it now, but someone last month posted a similar story on HN. The threat actor had stolen someone's GitHub account and altered their otherwise legitimate looking …

Not to get into an internet argument, but the entire premise of what you say is false -- and I'm not just saying that to argue. 1. The intent was and is categorically not for the r…

This wasn't ignored and your source corroborates the fact. It was front page news, there were two IPPC investigations, and an inquest. This is also an example from 2005. An odd cho…

Sounds like automation to me rather than 1984. 800 hours of video searched in 3 hours, hardly the destruction of democracy.

It'll be a legal thing. You're reporting on behalf of yourself / a legal entity, so another system or entity can't say for you. I get it, but it really is a waste of time.

I think Apple became much better at security in recent years. One example which I think is indicative of their approach to security - they bothered to add a hardware microphone dis…

This is different though right? He found one (? we don't know who you're referring to - post sources for a higher quality discussion) vulnerability, he already knew it was there, e…

There is independent research out there on frontier model security capability. AI Security Institute (UK) put out their paper comparing Mythos to other frontier models in early Apr…

I read it as the author is / was going through the vulnerability disclosure process with Microsoft and they're annoyed for unclear reasons and decided to publicly disclose, rather …

I don't think they "forgot" about processors. It was out of scope. Creating the pipeline to end up with a fully "sovereign" system end-to-end is a decades long process and hundreds…

Did that risk materialise? I suppose it would be only the same as credit cards. With a valid warrant authorities can gain access to information. But that's within a legal system de…

They're referring to Pete Hegseth's decision to designate Anthropic a supply chain risk back in early May. https://www.politico.com/news/2026/03/05/pentagon-tells-anth...

Not to start an internet argument -- I don't think it is appropriate in this context. A/B testing the features of a web app is not unexpected or unethical. So invoking the memory o…

The framing of A/B testing as a "silent experimentation on users" and invoking Meta is a little much. I don't believe A/B testing is an inherent evil, you need to get the test desi…

The article even says "[...] some Nest devices record event histories and store them on-device. The third-gen wired Nest Doorbell can save up to 10 seconds of clips, while the firs…

Nothing to do with sardines, but Economics Explained (YT) has a recent interesting video on the Moroccan economy. It's executed some well-designed policy and become a large automot…

There's an interesting podcast covering space situational awareness from RUSI (Royal United Services Institute, UK). Link: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/eyes-in-orbit-space…

This article is a short history of anti-satellite weapons, discussing who has demonstrated their capability: https://www.raf.mod.uk/what-we-do/centre-for-air-and-space-p... I'm sur…

No. This a motion within one house of Parliament and hasn't become law, nor is there any guarantee it will be. It's something to be aware of.

What you describe is the representative democratic system. Misunderstanding is the source of any distrust. It is frustrating to write to an MP only to be given boilerplate in retur…
