Replace “politicians” with “billionaires” and it’d be more accurate. Legislation has long stopped correlating highly with average citizen sentiment and has started correlating highly with wealthy and corporate interests.

I agree with you somewhat, but still applaud them for looking for promising future developers and paying them an amount that will attract them. However, there are many promising junior developers that aren’t interested in the money as much

This is the correct answer for now, but when currently available options are functionally equivalent to what dial-up is now I think this opinion will not have aged well.

The rural electorate has voted overwhelmingly for candidates who oppose these regulations. This is apparently what they want.

The MDM does not give your employer a way to retroactively unlock the phone. Depending on the MDM solution and capabilities they allowed they may be able to install an application though. But most people that have accepted MDM on their pers

Is the problem the tenets of communism? or is the problem the dictators and strongmen who inevitably rise to the top? or the corruption that grows from unchecked power?

These type of solutions don’t scale to large ISPs, and gets costly to deploy at the edge. It’s also not just about throughput in Gbps, but Mpps. Also, this doesn’t take into account that the congestion/queueing issue might be at an ups

The answer in this scenario is to exempt that application and/or folder. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. In my environment we have to add exceptions for Developers git folders for the realtime scanning for a similar reaso

lol, that’s not how this works, that’s not how any of this works… you cannot demand more than someone is willing to or able to pay, either a researcher out there will spend some time on it because it’s a relatively new contender to the mark

some of these licensing changes have led to larger players forking and/or implementing their own version. personally i appreciate Amazon for sticking it to Oracle with Corretto after the JRE licensing changes.

When an open source project achieves success it does so on the backs of not only those who use it, but those who contribute. Sometimes these contributions are not just code but also include constructive feedback, bug reports (some very deta

Bug bounties are always in relation to severity, number of users potentially at risk, and market cap. A browser operating at a deficit from a small company with a small market share cannot pay 100k even if they wanted to. If you and a coupl

I think we need a structure to allow LEOs to request and enforce a legal hold on data without having access to the data. Something that would allow a lower bar for the request, preserve any potential evidence, and allow the owner of the dat

My camera is not your camera. Just because I recorded something doesn't make you entitled to just take it. No LEA should be able to requisition my recordings as part of a fishing expedition. If you have evidence of a crime and that evi

We're in the same boat. We have two /24 (/23) that we advertise through our ISP(s) and we've been hesitant to sign an LSA/RSA because it seems to put us in a position where we may be held to standard and fees that w

I am conflicted. I love Valve, but 30% seems like a lot. On the other hand, I doubt the developers are being charged for the bandwidth or for Steam platform integration. Which means that long after the developer has walked away with their m

Does OpenSignal have details explaining how they collected this data? Could there be differences in the way these networks manage cellular connections, such as not utilizing 5G when 4G would save battery and/or provide a better signal.

Same, except from Verizon except and I get ~300mbps down and ~20mbps up. I'm in Tampa and I get 5G in most places I frequent on my phone. Though, I have noticed, that sometimes I'll be on LTE until I start streaming/downloadi

Real estate. There is a constant battle to increase performance per watt and increase density. Think of it like performance per watt per sqft. Once the hardware improves significantly enough you’re losing money by not putting new hardware i

I’m not sure how i feel about this statistic. In America we have some pretty bed economics around health, i could easily see this number inflated by the exorbitant cost of insulin, or HIV meds, or cancer meds. life saving medications whose

My current employer, similarly, invested a significant amount of resources into Silverlight. Luckily only one component of the application had been switched to Silverlight, but a significant amount of code was written to be the core of that

Agreed, unfortunately it's difficult to get purchase in a lot of companies because they don't want to be responsible for the security of the solution, and they don't want to be responsible for the maintenance of the solution.

This may be the biggest gap in my understanding. I didn’t realize that at some point the JavaScript is turned into instructions running directly on metal, I thought everything occurred within a synthetic/virtual environment.

I will attempt to word my questions/thoughts in a less confrontational way in the future. I tend to write my questions in the same way they occur in my internal monologue. I understand how that comes across to some. I’m happy there is
