Correct, because putting additional data in GECOS is completely optional. This isn't about having your email client know your birthday, it's about phoning home to gate functionality. Verifiability, attestibility, all the loopholes

It's literally not possible for one economic system to simultaneously "take over" the entire planet, so if a socialist or communist revolution ever took place there would absolutely be a first single country or group of count

No meeting of the minds unless the author can be proven to have solicited the attention of specific suspects, so no conspiracy charge. That's not to say the author of this site wouldn't be made example of if their advice ever beca

I think (and it's possible I'm being too charitable in the face of bad science reporting) it's a reference to the number of independent variables that affect a read operation, and not a statement about new spacial physics.

Reminds me of a general-purpose version of the secure enclave that Moxie Marlinspike blogged about when he implemented secure contact look-up in Signal. Very cool Google released this as open source. Of course, it does require you to be abl

They do need a warrant now, although they did not used to, and obviously don't need one if you hand an unlocked phone over upon request (same as if you go along with 'let me see your backpack'). It's unlikely this ruling

Hasura's homepage[0] links to their Github[1], so it's definitely open source. The "Enterprise" section of the website seems a bit lite and all the pricing information is on the "Support" tab, so the business m

No it does not, but it can imply it if you take it in the context of the whole article. One round of job posting led to three hires by the end of the article; should we assume that was a unique practice? If so, then the number "three&q

Arguably so. I'm sympathetic to her goal and that in particular stuck out to me as an over-correction. It doesn't undermine her point that simply changing the job listings can dramatically impact the makeup of your talent pool. Th

Cursory posts -- whether they're posted by trolls or cynics or anyone else -- that are quickly read and just as quickly upvoted, but don't receive a thoughtful reply, tend to persuade the uninitiated.

In the next paragraph the author specifies that they were trying to attract a wider cross-section of candidates. The hires wouldn't have been on-boarded if they weren't the best candidates who applied , but there's no way to

Since the strategy here is to split the files up into equal-sized pieces, I wonder if the encryption key of each piece could be encrypted with a public key rather than a symmetric key, a-la the experimental (and now apparently defunct) One-

If the app still wanted to support puzzles that had notes scribbled in them then it would need some kind of OCR to tell the difference between a "starter" cell with known-good data and "puzzle" cells it needs to solve. B

The goal isn't to make everything equal (at least not in the exact sense that cannot exist anywhere), but to change the widespread perception that treatment of different groups is not equitable. The goal of getting more hands on deck b

Saying magic words in legalese that sound "right" to the choir in the court of public opinion is necessary but not sufficient to see through to overturning standing precedent in courts of law. Maintaining, and abiding by, a DMCA p

Why is "You must identify in sufficient detail the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed." listed three times in your DMCA policy? Does the information actually need to be submitted in triplicate?

To my knowledge no such report exists. The only answers you'll find will come from reading dozens of articles like this one over a long span of time, mixed with reading "primary sources" (put in quotes because as often as not

CmdrSprinkles is incorrect: at least in the United States, mining and other forms of receiving Bitcoins are no different in principle from receiving large quantities of other non-dollar goods or currencies that have an estimable dollar valu

I'll admit that I'm far enough out of my depth that I can't compete with the level of detail your opinion, informed by your professional experience, espouses. So I'll have to concede that there are clearly things I don&#

I'm not stipulating any of my claims on the lack of lopsidedness in the editorial positions of the journalists in question. A Really Big Number doesn't change what they care about more : being on the same team as the Democrats, o

If they thought that far ahead, they'd fall behind. They live from headline to headline. The fact that Trump is chum right before the election instead of Clinton is partially stochastic and depended far more on the immediate reception

The politico guy being a self-confessed hack just reeks of the same problems we would expect to arise from a chaotic system driven by short term interests. The notion that the media is cooperating with Clinton's campaign in order to ma

It's not a defense, but it's not a distinction without a difference. If the problem is collusion on behalf of a particular ideology then the solution is different than if it's a problem caused by current models for monetiza

This isn't disproving my thesis that people on political beats sacrifice impartiality and independence on the altar of access.
