If you are doing anything more complicated than gluing a pair of APIs together, it is very likely that the marginal value of work past 60 hours is negative. Reaping what you coded during a 3am espresso binge is rarely a happy experience. B

Rules to one of the mentioned lotteries. [0] It looks like prize counts are fixed in advance, so any information about redemption changes odds. Blacklight also shows that the lottery website is riddled with trackers, so it is possible they

An axiom of cryptographic tool design: there are no advanced users. Designs that ignore the axiom will always create dangerous failure modes.

Why can't America build anymore? Is this a cultural problem, or a failure of public policy? Healthcare, rail, aircraft, automobiles, shipping, pharmaceuticals, and now semiconductors. We can't make any of these things at scale a

Not just a court case though, an investigation or a "psych eval" are enough to ruin someone. Take a look at Russ Tice. Also, read Ronan Farrow's piece from the New Yorker last week. They targeted a straight-laced DOJ lawyer

A related historical anecdote. The Mulford Act was the first law on the path towards California's strict CCW regime. Whatever your policy preference, it is history worth knowing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulf

For us mortals, SELinux is a synonym for "complicated, scary thing that I don't know how to use properly". Can you link to something with minimal working "mark and block" examples?

Then create a separate chain with the "partial connectivity" rules you want and jump to that. Not everyone is comfortable running random github code as root.

Privacy tooling should not come from a page that does not work without javascript. Moreover, this functionality is easy to achieve using user groups and the iptables owner module. Here's an example that prevents atom from leaking tele

Take a look at the linked case. The prosecutor made a big deal of the fact that the defendant used a subversion server for version control. It was doubly evil because it was a subversion server in gasp Germany. https://www

If you told an American in 1995 that AT&T was selling their call records, or that Visa was selling their transaction records, they would have gone ballistic. The fact that all this tracking is still hush-hush means that most people woul

The practices should be banned. It's a federal felony to wiretap or open someone else's mail. In almost all states, it's a crime to record conversations without consent from at least one party. Earlier generations passed t

You make yourself non-unique by looking like others. In that sense your privacy is limited by the precautions that others take. Turning off javascript is a very good thing to do. The more people that do it, the stronger a protection it will

Browser fingerprints are turning up in court cases now. Probably not wise of EFF to frame it as "covering your tracks". It's more like "closing your blinds". https://www.theregister.com/2019/0

I would say that Facebook is similar to a 18th century tavern. It's a place where people meet and talk. Fortunately for 18th century humans, there were many pub owners who exercised varying degrees of control over the activities of t

This is an extremely lazy argument. Our generation has seen entire sectors of the economy subsumed within monopolies. The consolidation is unprecedented in the modern era. These monopolies have a degree of political influence that makes th

It is my understanding that toleration, free association, and free expression are core enlightenment principles that enable a civilization to be governed by reason. These are threatened by the censorious attitude of boomers and aging gen-xe

You can't just toss out core enlightenment principles because a handful of loud simpletons latch on to bad ideas. Not without explaining why.

No idea. All I know is that there are at least three hedge funds with the ability to acquire individualized prescription histories. I don't know if they are able to "deanonymize" guids in a large database, or if they query ba

Put the company you work for in your threat model, and this becomes relevant to you. The corporate world is mired in zero-sum competition, and some of your colleagues are willing to do things that will shock and appall you if it increases t
