I’ve thought a lot about publishing research and wanting to do more of it, but right as I finally had the time and energy to start writing articles LLMs start to take off. Now all of a sudden, I’m acutely aware that everything I publish wil

The reduction in crime cannot be attributed to using Flock cameras, so the figures you give aren't meaningful for this conversation.

The problem here is that the complaint seems to be filed by the copyright owner (or licensee) but the code is accessing piracy sites. There could be a circumvention case if the piracy site is the one filing the copyright complaint, but they

We have dual-branded debit cards in Canada, too. But these are all debit cards, not credit cards. Visa/MC makes way more money off credit cards than debit cards, which is why they're much more hesitant to allow dual-branding.

Yoon is quite politically toxic at the moment, I don't think he'll be pardoned any time soon. I also think that this would be a good moment for South Korea to reconsider its approach to corruption, especially since Yoon's act

This would still rely on Visa/MasterCard allowing dual-branded credit cards for overseas transactions, which isn't a very common arrangement. The only market that has this is in Asia where there are UnionPay + Visa/MasterCard

This already exists on the previous platform curl was using (HackerOne), it does not prevent the slop. At my previous employer, I had access to the company’s bug bounty submissions and I can assure you no matter what you try to do, people w

I think one interesting thing that the article does mention is that Walmart does accept Apple Pay and contactless payments in Canada. I suspect this is because Canadians pretty much expect contactless to be accepted anywhere they shop, comp

Modern solar panels last around 30 years, so I wouldn't exactly call it "short-lived". Economically, I'm sure the locations chosen were optimal. You'd imagine that actual mountainous wilderness would be a much more

OP didn’t put this in the title but the article is from 2016. Turns out a lot has changed in the last decade and I think it’s likely that the article should be updated on what it’s like right now.

Good way to get fired and sued. Giving third parties access to your business emails can't possibly have negative repercussions right!

With the rise in unfriendly bots on the internet as well as DDoS botnets reaching 15 Tbps, I don’t think many people have much of a choice.

It supported using self signed certs, but if the server suddenly switched from a self signed to a trusted CA-signed certificate, no prompt would be given. So the idea that self signed certificates are somehow more secure for this specific p

iOS never supported this configuration regardless, a change in SSL certificate does not cause any kind of notification to the user. Also, you're basically objecting to the entire idea of PKI for use in IMAP which is incredibly hard to

I think the last few paragraphs go off the rails. If creators didn't own (at least in some way) some controlling stake in Nebula, why would they publicly say that they do? Moreover, why would creators join Nebula if the terms were not

The problem with these is that bugdoors require you to target way more valuable stuff compared to backdoors. With a backdoor you can target practically any library or binary that is being run with root privileges, while with a bugdoor you c
