Homeless drug addicts don’t have BTLE sniffing equipment. It is more likely techbros looking for laptops with valuable information on them.

> They are just trying to “ strong arm” the domain away from you with a threatening letter. This isn't ok and making them go away isn't good enough. They need to pay for having made that long list of demands and threats, ideal

This is for people who are so rich that they've lost the ability to handle anything practical on their own.

I don't know why anyone thinks it is acceptable for human lives to be considered more or less valuable depending on which arbitrary geographical division they were born within. Why don't we just murder and eat each other then? Tha

I’m curious about the requirement too but I agree that it doesn’t matter. The client wants their steel tested at -100 deg F, so do it. Someone who is a Director of Metallurgy should take pride in delivering the product that was asked for, n

That suggests a cool little project to build a module that fakes the output of an accelerometer without being obviously fake.

None of this has to do with Amazon though. I am very uncomfortable with Amazon (or the others) pretending that they invented precision timekeeping and that it is a special feature only they have because it seems like a lot of people believe

All I'm hearing is that Facebook is entitled to a name someone else was already using because they are a wealthy and successful company and I am not convinced.

I don't know where the line is, but I know users of eg Debian don't find trojans and cryptominers appearing on their systems after routine updates. They have thousands of obscure packages, but they don't let just anyone uploa

I suspect a huge fraction of those packages need to be rolled up into a standard library for which some foundation can take money and do proper release engineering.

I don't know why anyone would auto-download untrusted packages as part of their own build/release chain and not review the code manually. Anything could be in there. The way people use NPM is pure fucking insanity.

Considering the low barrier to entry, I would say that most of them are just run by dilettantes wanting to make an easy buck, but that amounts to the same thing because an intelligence service would be able to have their way with the infras

How does that make this ok?

That’s where you have to push back very rigidly. In an environment with unlimited PTO, that is a completely invalid criticism and can’t be accepted.

Is the opening of the balloon no longer a hole because it is tied into a knot?

How does certificate pinning work on corporate networks where all of the clients have a certificate from the local root CA installed and a proxy server examines all encrypted traffic? Presumably that doesn’t break Facebook so maybe there is

I don’t think that is fair at all. It is architecturally appropriate for every site to run DNS resolvers and most of them do outside of the residential space. This isn’t a man in the middle attack and selectively blocking queries according

Not great because when they see how many people use Notepad, they're going to replace it with a piece of shit like they did with the snipping tool and Freecell.

Uninsured motorist coverage is a line item on my insurance documents. I know it is not required by every state but I don't know if there are states where it is not offered. I can't imagine choosing not to have that coverage if it

This would be a failed assignment in an entry level uni programming course. How on earth does a Microsoft developer accomplish such a thing as bringing an incomplete and unsafe program to production deployment?

Chelsea Manning never betrayed me. And if we stick somebody in a cage and take away their ability to fend for themselves, we have to take responsibility for their health care.

All of the resources are out there if you are willing/able to develop your own plan and self-direct. This is more of a personal trainer as a service. The value add is that humans will be monitoring your progress and they’ll be on your

I'm reminded of the story about improving the armor on airplanes in World War 2. They were looking at where the fighters had been hit by enemy fire and improving the armor in those areas, until someone realized they should be armoring
