At my previous job, I would start screening interviews with "What is the difference between a bit and a byte?" A candidate actually replied: "One bit is 0.12 byte"

I have the same intuition about this that I had when the OPERA team thought they had exceeded the speed of light [0] -> this violates a fundamental law of physics so this must be wrong. My money is on experimental error. [0]: (most upvot

The article is entirely wrong. Organ donation has been opt-out in France since the first law on the subject in 1976. The only new thing in 2017 is that you can now easily opt-out online.

Yes but this would just mean an even bigger part of the story is missing — how that one got compromised.

The beginning of the story is missing. PZ clicked on the link in the email because it was "received [...] from a familiar mailing list" . Did PZ trust a mailing list where anyone could post? Or did the attackers spoof the "f

I am afraid they misled you too. There is no ranking. 0 is "unsafe level" while 100 is "safe level".

As mentioned by someone else in the thread [0], Dropbox is using pepper with encryption. Many (stupid) people will use it with hashing instead, which means they cannot rotate the pepper without resetting every user's password. Moreover

Seriously? They assign internal addresses (10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/16) to all customers? Are you able to name the ISP?

(I know this is drifting off.) Geoff Huston is a phenomenal speaker (and researcher of course). If you have even more time and want to learn more about how the address spaces and routing tables are evolving, I definitely recommend his talk

The vulnerability claim is very interesting. The ISS Source article itself is garbage. They do not explain the origin of the attack, instead simply mention "a subtle flaw (in the form of 'side channels')" [sic]. They d

The "Automatic Proxy Configuration" setting allows you to manually set the URL of the PAC file for automatic configuration. Maybe setting a custom PAC file can override the one sent by the DHCP server. Anyway, unchecking that on

Of course you can. You can also, I think, reverse trackpad scrolling on Windows. However, I dislike the fact that on MacOs they call the setting "natural scrolling" and that they enable it by default for any trackpad you hook up.
