There are three sides to the "making us less secure" argument. 1. If they would work with companies to get the vulnerabilities fixed, we would be more secure. The lack of action in this area doesn't make us less secure. It

I think you guys missed my point. In pointing out one individual, I was pointing to the organization as a whole. Github supports this kind over-sensitive social-activism. Example A: dragnet language-police script. Example B: hiring contro

Go read up on Github user: CoralineAda [1][2] Then consider that GitHub hired her. I would not be surprised if the this automated script and her employment were directly related. [1] https://github.com/opal/opal/

FWIW, I tried this link in FF 47.0.1 on OS X and it loaded quickly without blocking anything else. Maybe check your plugins or try a fresh profile.

The article describes fingerprint sensors, iris scanners, and facial recognition of increasing complexity for each one. But all of these things could be fooled with not-unforeseen technology. Biometric data is a username...not a password.

Please don't call this "serverless". BAAS/PAAS is very much a server enabling apps that require a server. The term "serverless" is ambiguous at best but the general idea is that the HTTP server the hosts the

All the police officers I know are nice, level-headed guys, but that speaks more about my friends than it does police officers. That said, I talked to a psychiatrist about a relative in the service. She has a term "shiny-shoe syndrom

Go download Zimbra (I'm not affliated with Zimbra, just have used it in the past), it's easy to setup and full featured. The real trouble is keeping your domain off blacklists and managing security updates.

I don't think they lowered their prices but Jetbrains did raise their prices recently so there is a little bit of price competition now. Before, Pycharm was $100 where Komodo was $250 and PyCharm worked better. Now PyCharm is $200&#x

But surely an example question with only 2 right answers doesn't give you a good cross-section of the person's understanding. What if they understand the reverse relationship but choose the more concise option for many other reas

I recently read about ad-sources correlating smartphones with desktops via transmitting ultrasonic tones that another device can listen for. I can't find the article now but it was mentioned on HN a few days ago...perhaps in a comment
