The incompetent person in your example is the developer who let the same order be sent 100x.
It's normal to refresh or try again when a page hangs. Or do you sit there for several minutes before you try again? At the least they could deactivate the submit button once clicked, the right solution is an order token that is only accepted once.
I bet you only press the cross-walk button once too. Wouldn't want to break the signal!
Sure, but in partisan politics both sides believe they are right and the other side is flirting with treason simply for disagreeing with them. It becomes meaningless.
"A show of strength brings greater security" "A show of diplomacy brings greater security"
Both valid arguments that are neither objectively wrong or right in all situations, both taken as gospel by some, both vilified as evil and dangerous by others.
Over the years the focus of the security industry has changed and it is no longer considered sufficient to have a crunchy shell with a soft interior. From behavioral analysis, to canary systems and binary whitelisting/flagging. There are so many things they could have done differently it's astounding.
By publicly asserting the unavoidability of a breach, and then having no plan of action prepared for that, he's admitting that their security plan is negligent.
In other words ''Cars crash, people die... seatbelts are useless''
How do virus scanner companies prevent their employees from selling government zero days for tens of thousands of dollars? Where is the easily discovered whitelist of government malware hidden in AV products? Couldn't someone easily use this list to find the hashes of currently unknown covert software? As you increase the number of companies in on this conspiracy, it gets harder and harder to keep it wrapped up.
Don't forget these companies are tracking nation state actors and writing up reports on their methods, thus bringing them greater exposure.
Secondly. It's extremely easy to evade anti-virus software. There's plenty of packers and encoders and crypers to turn any malicious software into something that bypasses all AV. It's done everyday by pentesters.
It seems a lot simpler to just use good OpSec and not leave copies of the tools behind. File-less attacks are all the rage these days.
I know someone who believes this stuff. I thought he was joking til he showed me a grainy freeze-frame of Obama turning his head on YouTube where video artifacts kinda sorta make his eyes look "slit" for a frame or two.
It just blew my mind he could believe that. Then he went on about the Eclipse being a hologram.
Getting a large chunk of humanity under a common calendar was a huge historical event, regardless of the reasoning used in selecting the first date. Prior to that there were literally hundreds of local time dating systems which to this day make accurate dating of events before than time extremely difficult.
It's been the scholarly habit for decades and has nothing to do with Political Correctness, it's simply and incorrect and religiously charged term. It's not even the right year for Jesus' birth.
Not to mention all those ridiculous "Stop quitting your apps!" articles going around lately chastising users for force quitting apps.
Yeah sure in iOS 3.0 or whatever the default was to immediately quit all apps when exiting to the home screen, always freeing the memory up for the next app. Not anymore, many apps like Trulia, Facebook, Twitter abuse backgrounding APIs to keep their apps always active even if you kill them and turn off their background update permissions. They may be using scheduled events to relaunch themselves and keep a constant presence in your device memory. It is no longer possible to tell which apps are truly closed and ejected from memory.
Users sense this in slow app load times and general sluggishness, which reboots temporarily fix. Whether it's Apple or app makers faults, the end result is user hostile and increasing frustration. But yeah, lets chastise the users for killing apps when they can see the speed differences themselves.
The lord of Kulaba inscribed the message like a tablet. It was just like that. The messenger was like a bird, flapping its wings; he raged forth like a wolf following a kid.
That's pretty neat... earliest literary mention of someone geeking out.
Seriously, I tried to read that, it's extremely verbose and repetitious. Can you quote the relevant section? Is it the part where somebody acted like a donkey?
You're right, my meth head cousins are so brave. Just like my imprisoned brother. Nobody told him what to do. Being the only undivorced person in my generation is so boring, I hate my life, hand me the Red Bull. Gonna get CRAZAAAY.
There's a particularly nasty case of ADHD on one of my parents family's, on the other multigenerational alcoholism.
It's as if the two families were in competition for which side can screw their lives up the most. Knowing this from an early age I've always been careful to avoid ending up in any kind of dependency situation. I'll keep alcohol consumption limited to 2 or 3 drinks, and refuse any non-prescription drug, heck I even avoid painkillers.
Personally I've noticed a real sensitivity to things as simple as sugar messing with my moods. I can have a soda or juice and a short time later "What the heck am I saying??" Yep, there was corn syrup in that.
So definitely, I'm the people in the article, who can't even have an energy drink without increasing their chance for ending up in heated arguments, lack of impulse control and general sketchy behavior.
I agree that e-cigs are helpful for people wanting to quit smoking. My own anecdotal experience however is kids taking it up thinking they're not harmful like cigarettes. Both sides of the argument have their point, neither side completely correct in all aspects. It would be great if vaping were mainly used by smokers trying to quit, the question is how many new smokers is it attracting by being "safer". (I'm not arguing for any legislation, I simply don't believe I have all the answers so why should I decide for everyone else?)
There needs to be a slight UI freeze of a quarter second or so whenever a dialog or prompt jumps up unexpectedly. This is a universal problem.
iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux all of them. You're typing a command and JUUUUSST as you press enter a dialog comes out of nowhere and you just pressed "Ok" on who knows what! It's worse for people who look at the keyboard while typing, they don't even know anything happened.
Mobile... you're taping away like normal and all the sudden just as your finger is microns from the screen a dialog shows up and you tapped.... whatever it was. Probably just accepted a mysterious self-signed certificate on an important service that definitely shouldn't have one.
There needs to be a tiny inactive period on those so you can't just confirm something in the middle of something else by mistake. The OS can easily handle this without any app code changes since it owns the dialogs.
That's just "while i is less than size" as I read it. C style for loops are just while's bookended with the counter. I seriously can't read all the punctuation like he does. Feels way too pedantic.
But what you CAN do is read subvocalizing and turn that into speech, then send that signal wirelessly and convert it into audio impulses sent to the brain through the skin.
This form of telepathy already exists and is used by the military for silent communication.
I know a guy who responded to a for sale ad to purchase a classic car. He had to drive some distance to pick it up, and had something a bit north of $10,000 on him during the trip.
Well as you can imagine, he got pulled over by a cop and his cash was confiscated. He was not charged with any crime. Just robbed by the police and sent on his way.

Someone needs to turn this into a script, like the Swedish Meatball chef convertor thing.

It's been said a million times but companies always want the magic bullet solutions.
He's right that you should expect being compromised, but no safeguards were in place for what he said was inevitable.
Looking at the timeline of events it's clear that getting past the endpoints meant free reign in their network.

Eh... interesting but boring. How about PHP/asp/py/pl/vbs and other server side languages?

Haven't you gotten the memo? Conservatives are evil and the source of all problems. Surely he was not hacked by a liberal.

At least I've never been arrested.
They could do the trick where you fill the lungs with breathable fluid and vacuum it back out. That might get most of it out.

Raspberry Pis listed as $50 or so "regular price" but marked "down" to $35 their actual price.
Remember kids, "The Cloud" means someone else's computer. And you may have signed over your data to them too! Hope you read all the fine print.
