At any large employer you sign an agreement to follow the employee handbook and internal policies. They all say the same thing: don't violate the policies even if directed to by yo…

There should be safety testing, but no guardrails that limit models for cyber or bio research. Guardrails are not a safety measure, they are a pay-to-play scheme that allows the pe…

That was the understanding until the CIA released a bunch of documents in 2017 which revealed that it was such an abysmal failure that they almost called off the entire thing. The …

> US installed a dictator in Iran because UK was angry that Iran nationalized the UK owned oil fields. > Did i say anything that was untrue? Or do people not like the truth? It is …

> To the best of my knowledge, a domain can only be renewed in advance for up to 10 years. That is the rule for COM/NET/ORG. ccTLDs can do what they please. That said, as a registr…

The Mikrotik HAP have terrible coverage, and the other two are the hallmark trashcan design I mentioned.

It looks like the person you replied to deleted their comment, but I assume it was about GL-iNet being a Chinese company. They have a tiny Hong Kong office that handles marketing a…

Because a modern wifi router requires a minimum of 6 antennas. 9 is even better. This lends itself to a spider like design with just a ton of antennas sticking out of a box, or a t…

> It would only be a backdoor if it's implemented as a backdoor. You don't seem to know how backdoors work. Oppressive regimes mandate that tech companies pre-install apps to prote…

Your example completely ignores the temporal dimension. The best practice was to rotate your passwords, but we discovered that this led users to picking less secure and easier to r…

Apple is one of the few tech companies that puts user privacy first, and any claims otherwise are deeply misguided. They pioneered things like iCloud Private Relay and privacy prot…

Probably the most helpful advice I can give you is pointing out that I wrote my comment after reading your homepage and docs. :) I used to run security for building size computers …

From a security perspective this is a non-starter. If you leave your MongoDB instance open and I steal the telemetry you are collecting, I can reverse engineer the data into meanin…

Your "OS Wastage Scanner" is grammatically incorrect. It's "waste."

You must have missed the part where he did poach all the top talent from Google and OpenAI, and then they all quit because they couldn't stand working for him.

He is a Utah senator. It is a job title.

The message to every Cloudflare employee is clear: you'll be there for the company when times are hard. But the company will not be there for you when times are hard. It does not m…

Why not? There has already been a working exploit floating around, at least now it comes from an authoritative source.

Remember that Cloudflare does a MITM on every connection to every website they front. CF not only protects them... they have real time intelligence on who is getting attacked, who …

Don't think of it as a materials simulation engineer being recruited and trained on how to write complex malware. Rather this was developed by a team of 6-8 people. Maybe two or th…

I own a domain registrar. Personally (not our official position), I would never try to bring a trademark into this type of dispute. Once you make a trademark claim the domain gets …

OP has already solved one side of the market without even realizing it.

Assuming this isn't just trolling what is the value? Atlassian's codebase is full of security and performance bugs, and I don't think anyone could make the argument with a straight…

The "Take Action" section is missing the most obvious solution. Everyone just goes and takes down a camera. We as a society do not consent to this use of public space and simply ha…

Just FYI you might want to reconsider your branding. Using the term "Coast Guard" in pretty much any capacity without written authorization is a felony.
