There's actually interesting issues with how property paid for through mortgages are impacted by nuclear regulations. I recall something deep in my mortgage about how (I think) the nuclear regulatory control act placed restrictions on

In general the court seems to try to go to the easiest decision point in a case. The copyrightability of an API is less relevant if the user being sued should win regardless because of fair use. This is better than a plurality decision wher

infoblox is a company that does DNS, DHCP, and IPAM management. I think the big concern there is that it is at least named to look like it is their CTO's files, so who knows what is in there.

The need to use a third party plugin to get any form of cloud sync working for one. Minor weirdness with it scrolling through your secret share structure on the left instead of up and down your passwords if you have accidentally clicked ove

Question for you, what company do you work for? I've really wanted to break into NGO security in particular for a lot of reasons. Spent a lot of years working in NGOs, and now do internal corporate security. Pay's better but it fe

An impressive amount of OPSEC fail. This is why you shouldn't mix real names with activity that gets you noticed!

by pdoconnell 12y ago
No, you're about right. On the bigger corporate side, security is at least the big buzzword. The VP- and C-level positions want to be sure that action is being taken to improve security, but day to day requests to poke holes in the wal

We started seeing this around the 9th I believe. We were not the only people as well, based on a somewhat late ISC post[1]. We thought it was a new form of intelligent blackholing. Instead of sending traffic to IPs that could easily be blac

I'll have to check, because for me its an immediate shift. It even causes system slowdown for a few seconds as it transitions.

I've been using this for about a year now. It does seem to have a noticeable impact on my comfort given the time I spend staring at screens. The transition points at sunrise and sunset are very disruptive, however. Even knowing it is c

I can't even imagine what my life would be like without T1D. I've had it for almost 20 years now. The constant monitoring, the general feeling of crappiness, the extreme costs. I spend thousands of dollars a year on the costs. Any

Physically qualify I believe, but either really works. Everyone would just grumble about all the health visits they would have to do in September and October to be ready.

Look at the job linked at the start of the article. There's always a few positions being floated either with IceCube, UW SSEC, or UW AOS that end up down there every year. That is also true of grad student positions, as you say.

I used to work at UW Space Science and Engineering Center, which did lots of remote support for the projects down on the ice. We would often be communicating with IceCube to plan shipments, or get machines that touched each other working. T

If you are working on such a site, I hope several things. 1) That the user name you're using here is randomly generated 2) You used domain registration authorities that consider secrecy imperative. Even with that, you used single-use c
