There's a lot to unpack here, but it seems that the gist of it is that things that happen in our society are because humanity is some kind of untamable animal, and that we should all just resign to letting it run wild as it does. Do yo

Bug bounty appears to be a misnomer in this instance. Facebook is specifically asking for reports of security vulnerabilities in their policy: > If you believe you have found a security vulnerability on Facebook, we encourage you to let

Is this not the point of a Whitehat bounty program? To entice someone to discover and disclose a bug in a trustworthy manner? If they react this way, and can't trust people to attempt to find exploitable security holes on their system

Is there something special he's done to get this much milage out of the car? It's only rated for about 300mi on a full charge, so I'm curious if it's just luck, or more?

I'd imagine that for legal/security reasons, you'd get about the same response as any other company: "We use better than industry standard encryption on private repo data, encrypted with AES-1024 and encrypted in transit

The difference is, we in The West have the right to choose what to consume, or be "brainwashed" by, and China's government chooses for them. Which would you prefer?

A thousand times this. It makes me sad that you have to worry about this :(. But if there's that strong a bias against your name, you probably don't want to end up actually being present there. My advice, working at an enterprise

It may be absurd, but it's not at all uncommon. Sending group invites via SMS is an incredibly kludgy experience, and following the path of least resistance, is so unrealistic when you have Facebook events at your fingertips. All of yo

This article and title are super misleading—the title appears to be a flat-out lie, in fact. It spends five paragraphs ranting about the issue until it finally concedes: > "...Das and Kramer claim to only send back information to Fa

Amazon has an established reputation as a low-priced retailer, and stakes its reputation on that. Twitter seems to intend this as more of an ease-of-purchase kind of feature. My expectation is that there is little to no incentive for Twitte

It's a really clever idea, but something about "JPG Internet: Get your FREE JPG" made me think it was a joke at first.

Hmm, indeed. I would still argue that this is an issue of the individual, since they are ultimately the entity responsible for deciding what is a valid point of reference, regardless of if the source is more or less justifiable.

It's a fair point, but the issue is agnostic to the subject matter. Rather, the root problem is that a person or people is/are inclined to look to a fictional comedy as a point of reference on social issues. I think it is unfair t

This is an awful lot of analysis on the social implications of a movie created by the guy who crafted Beavis and Butthead. If you are cultivating your outlook of the future from Idiocracy, then you probably care not about the real prospects

Is there any proof of this actually being packaged up and sent to EA? It seems to me that this is probably like Blizzard's Warden process, which actively scans for hacks while the client is open. I'll save my outrage until there i

Claiming a medical company's life-saving device will kill your family on national news will almost without a doubt land you on the receiving end of a libel lawsuit, warranted or not. Not having to use lawyers would be nice, but it&#x27

Going way back on Reddit, I remember MrGrim modestly posting that he had created an image host just for Reddit, imgur.com. It's pretty wild to see him and imgur have come this far. EDIT: Here it is--5 years ago. Great job MrGrim. http

This is foolish logic. AirBnB vouched for the trustworthiness of this "David" fellow through their "Verified" badge. This is also their duty and responsibility as the facilitator between renters and rentees. And the proc

If you were Valve, what would you do? Without the servers, the game is completely useless, and they probably recognized that fact. Being that this is the first time in 9+ years that they have done this, and only in this particular circumsta

I wouldn't be too worried about this. Batman: Arkham Asylum and Arkham City both utilized GFWL, and Rocksteady (the developer) simply released a patch that removed the GFWL software. They play just as great as ever. EDIT: Just kidding.

These are irrelevant questions, as the article specifically states that he is in support of regulation: "...Tom Wheeler, appeared open in 2011 to letting wireless giant AT&T Inc. acquire T-Mobile USA...But he had a price. In exchange fo

Does being a former lobbyist make him inherently evil, though? I'm no fan of lobbying from any aspect, but it's shallow to judge his priorities off of this one piece of his career -- especially with the article highlighting his history in f

I think the idea is that, if I like what he has to say, I'll just do it. He doesn't have to ask, and doing so _inside_ the post shifts the whole thing from inspirational anecdote, to well-written justification of why you should follow his T

Thank you for taking issue with this. I use Virgin, and I never even considered how insecure this is. I'm going to hound them about it.
