Are you seriously considering an employee's PERSONAL life for setting their wage??? That's bananas! That's like saying that I'll work for free cause the boss wants to buy his wife a new ferrari. Bottom line is that you

That's great feature but I would prefer to see search within duckduckgo as it's usually better at finding what I want and for privacy reasons. There are so many ways these search engines can still innovate.

Well it's a damn shame that apple allows backdoors into their os as it makes this point mute.

The defaults should be the best contrast/readbility.

I love duckduckgo and I feel I can almost replace google completely with it. I only have the following comments on it. 1. They're hosted in the US. I wish the company would pick up and move to a country not within the 14 eyes and out o

I guess it's known in very certain circles on what goes in the 'establishment' but to say that it is now socially acceptable? I doubt it. Actually, after the Snowden revelations, there was a big political uproar and they almo

This isn't really a shocker. They have been known since 2006[0] that the police(+TLA's) can use your cellphone as a eavesdropping tool. The biggest problem I fear is that this will become socially acceptable in US as it has with t

You can run macos in a vmware vm if you really need it for ios development[0]. It's less than legal though. [0]: https://github.com/DrDonk/unlocker

I just unplugged the microphone, and camera from my macbook pro retina's motherboard. I don't use the camera often and I use the microphone on my earpiece so I don't miss it.

Why are bills like these always drafted after the fact? E.g. Equifax, Google+, Facebook hack, etc. It would be common sense to pass laws before it happened and would of incentivize companies to beef up security.

It's really hard to compete in the desktop segment with enthusiast customers as they are more likely to build their own desktop at a better price. Never the less it presents a great option for people who want open source(freedom) hardw

The problem I have with reddit is that they are manipulating public opinions through bolstering topics that further their agenda.

The problem with #3 is that they _already_ doing that with the fisa courts and it's a shit show. In our current system, they rubber stamp every warrant that is presented to the court with no oversight[0]. [0]: https://www.eff

It would be great if these AI/neural frameworks targeted opencl so it would be platform agnostic. AMD/Intel/Arm makes so very cost effective GPUs that run everywhere.

If you can disclose, what kind of security audits do you perform on your server hardware?

Well that hasn't been confirmed with all the research around it[0]. A spy chip/core doesn't need to be part of intel ime to be in there though. [0]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsmHmYxyoxg

Well if they actually had 3 high level sources on inside, which they probably did as they are a very reputable news org, then they had every right to post the story. People need to realize that if what they are saying is true, this is huge.

I don't do chip decapping but from the looks of it[0], it's incredibly hard and time consuming. They would have to do it to every server. It would be easier to suggest that there's no actual guarantees of hardware security th

I stand corrected but it's still a ridiculous high price to develop a plane and then have the plans simply stolen. What's the difference between the Chinese stealing a half billion dollars and stealing the designs of these plans t

I really have little doubt that the Chinese are integrating their spy chips into computer hardware going to the big four or even the pentagon. It's probably how they stole the designs to the f-35[you know that plane that costs over a

This[0] is a backdoor that was discovered _only_ through reading patents on the chip. It gave the highest possible privilege(ring -4) to the user by simply running an undocumented cpu register. It would be incredibly easy to hide something

If you have a powerful desktop you can run osx in vmware with some less than legal patches. It's not as responsive as a native setup but for ios development, it's enough.
