    Lame troll is lame. If people thought change was bad why would many of these supposed “change haters” be using Chrome which changes every 6 weeks? Wouldn’t they be using IE6 still which has not changed in years?

  3. So essentially plugins that also exist as WebExtensions and had the same issues. That was the best you had?

  6. that it's an insane security risk

    You’ve said this on multiple occasions without any real-world example of how any was actually affected by this supposed security risk.

    Anyway, users have quite a bit of security risk with Chrome extensions too.

    Yeah after all the hype in the summary, their video was not impressive. Especially since it took them a better part of a decade to get this Quantum shit out of alpha.

    They have Rust on their side, which reportedly allows them to make highly parallel data structures with a complexity nearly impossible to make safely in C++ or Go. This gives them an edge.

    Oh and I like how you didn’t address my point about Taiwan. Please do explain why the Taiwanese would not participate in gay pride parades other than you’re assigning your own bigotry to them as if they as a population are identical to you and Damore.

    Yeah he comes across as “reasonable” if you’re a white male. Not so much if you’re a woman or minority when you are talked down to and told you’re unable to do your own job as if every woman and minority is identical.

    You think these Taiwanese are going to go to the gay pride parade?

    Some might. Some won’t. Just like anywhere else. But you seem to have missed the news from this year from Taiwan. They are leading at the forefront when it comes to gay rights in Asia being the first country to legalize same-sex marriage. Which runs counter to your implication that Taiwan is a country made up of MAGA alt-righters like Damore.

    What's ironic? macOS does "harvest" open source code. Tons of it.

    and thus far has anyone proven that Struts was the source of the hack?

    Yes, Equifax has.

    Questions Regarding Apache Struts

    The attack vector used in this incident occurred through a vulnerability in Apache Struts (CVE-2017-5638), an open-source application framework that supports the Equifax online dispute portal web application.
    Based on the company’s investigation, Equifax believes the unauthorized accesses to certain files containing personal information occurred from May 13 through July 30, 2017.
    The particular vulnerability in Apache Struts was identified and disclosed by U.S. CERT in early March 2017.
    Equifax’s Security organization was aware of this vulnerability at that time, and took efforts to identify and to patch any vulnerable systems in the company’s IT infrastructure.
    While Equifax fully understands the intense focus on patching efforts, the company’s review of the facts is still ongoing. The company will release additional information when available.
