If someone is on the clock for 40 hours in a work week and you only pay them for 30, this is a standard complaint handled by Department of Labor. This can quickly turn into a class-action lawsuit filed by all Amazon workers. They should probably quit this practice while they are ahead.
It's funny that this document, which is mostly hand written, would be considered a "conflicts of interest" document. None of it actually contains any conflicts of interest. All of it includes a rambling story of a manifesto which includes reasons why some person was harmed by a hospital group, as if this were the justification to do damage to the hospital group to avenge the harm that was done to some person...
If the guy is looking for a defense, he's only using a shovel to dig his hole deeper by producing and submitting such a document to a court of law. The judge is rightfully correct in giving the unremorseful defendant such a long prison sentence. This person obviously cannot be rehabilitated, and the only protection from society from such a person with no conscience is a long prison sentence. He suffers from mental illness if he thinks his manifesto describing his reasons for revenge are going to have any positive impact on the judges decision. Anyone reading that document probably thinks the guy is a lunatic who deserves ten years in prison for what he did. He obviously does not regret what he did. To the contrary, he authored a 690 page manifesto describing why it deserves to be done. What a psychopath.
Yahoo had a long history of buying up companies for billions of dollars and then never doing anything productive with those investments. Facebook is the new Yahoo.
Spender must have mental illness to think that writing some posts questioning the legality of some random piece of software is defamation... He was in over his head when trying to go up against one of the most popular people in open source software movement.
I think grsecurity is a great set of patches to the linux kernel, most of which were originally provided by others and integrated into his combo-patch set. I think it was better when he offered it for free and only charged commercial users. It would be like linus all of sudden start making linux a pay-only piece of software. Most people would be turned off or have a bad taste in their mouths. He should realize that these patches, things like untrusted path execution,/proc restrictions and so on, although they are great concepts, they were initially provided by other people as separate sets of patches to the linux kernel offered for free.
People think this law effects only sections that allow for "personals" and "adult" type categories. Actually, this law is so vague it can be applied to any web site that has a comments section or allows a user to post a message. This means about 99.99% of every web site out there can potentially be shut down. Even this web site, if someone posts an ad about prostitution in the comments section, this web site owners are liable for that content.
Anyone who has spent even a small amount of time looking into crypto-currencies would know that Bitcoin is the most traceable, least anonymous, highest priced, transaction fees are super high, half the time it takes multiple hours for the transaction to go through, if at all. Anyone who wants real anonymous transactions would think about using Monero, or something like it.
This guy should stick to writing code. His first mistake was writing some anti-women propaganda speech. His second mistake was publishing it. His third mistake was promoting it publicly as if he was representing Google. Come on. People have been fired for much less. He should stick to writing code and shut up. He will probably have a hard time finding a job because of his big mouth.
They just come to your house in the middle of the night and kidnap you and lie to your family why you were held in a secret prison for five years without charges. [1] [2] [3] [4] Welcome to China. This is just in the past two years. Anything you write on that WeChat, you better look behind your back.
It sounds like they are planning on setting up something similar to Intel Management Engine (ME). This opens the host computer up to a whole range of persistent attacks. This is probably why so many people are working on disabling this from running on Intel boxes [1].
Linus has been going back and forth with grsecurity about the patch set they have put out. All I know is that over the years all the kernel bugs that have allowed for local and remote stack overflows, my systems have not been compromised because of the use of the grsecurity patches. It's a shame that the guy who puts out the grsec patches is trying to charge money for them, but its also a shame that some of these standard features like no-exec-stack patch and trusted-path-execution patches have not been implemented into the mainline kernel tree over two decades.
I started going to cons in the early 1990's and John Draper "Captain Crunch" was always notorious for trying to invite newbie hackers to his hotel room for "meditation" sessions which included massaging and touching and whatever else happened if you allowed it go any further. The guy was always known to be a pervert. Everyone joked about it. He would literally go person-to-person through the crowd and invite whoever he could upstairs for a little one-on-one if you know what i'm sayin. Every con he would show up and do this. The best was at summercon 98 he showed up and did a talk about how everyone owes him thousands of dollars because he is so old school and how he invented the hacker scene. The guy was a fixture at every con. pumpcon, defcon, summercon.
I guess we're not talking about working with Java Struts. When you do, turn on mysql logging, and then tail -f mysqld.log, you'll see garbage like this: select column_623 from table_943 where column_142='xxx'; ---- is that readable to you? Is that supposed to improve readability by abstracting so far away from the database that no one can understand what is going. I basically have to grep for values inserted or updated or selected from tables in order to figure out what table stuff is being written to. It's not ugly, its an abomination. Who ever thought up the idea doesnt know what they are doing. Easy to read..... YEAH RIGHT -- its a joke. It takes 5 times longer to reverse engineer this spaghetti mess than any other languages.
Straight Java code is easy to read, if you don't intrude abstraction layers on top of the language, like Struts.
I wrote a machine learning program that did when dice.com came online around 1990. I still use it today and it searches jobs (or any posting) on craigslist, monster, dice.com, hotjobs. It looks for keyword pattern matches in the job title, job description, etc, to give a score to a job posting, then if the job scores past a threshold, it will send a cover letter and email to the job. some of the most advanced features is that it will auto-generate sentences in the cover letter and/or job description depending on what it says in the job posting.
AT&T and others stand to profit billions of dollars by creating slow lanes and fast lanes on the internet. The real issue here is that customer already paid for an internet connection at a certain speed, so its some level of fraud or deception (false advertising, bait-and-switch) to be selling a service at a certain speed and then not delivering the service that the customer is paying for.
So, I've been thinking of how could we prevent such a rogue device from operating on the cellular network? The way it is done is pretty easy actually:
* First you have to create a database of longitude / latitude coordinates of where we find cell tower sites at 100% signal strength.
* Next we allow Android's baseband processor to issue handoffs to cell towers that are within range of the GeoIP coordinate database
* So when a Stingray device pretends to be a cell tower, and it is not within range of the geoIP coordinates database, it will be rejected
This could be easily implemented in Android... and you could also add notifications when a cell tower was rejected due to being too far away from the known cell tower real location.
I'm sure he's all of that stuck in a room by himself at the embassy for the past few years. Maybe five years ago, not today. Sorry, it doesn't pass the smell test.

This is a good case of why not to use Oracle, use MySQL or Postgres
CNN is still reporting it was the result of a lovers triangle lol

This is the same James Clapper who lied under oath in proceedings in Congress. Not sure he can be trusted to make any comments at this point.

iPhones use AES encryption for the phone, so naturally they should respond with the FIPS AES document

There was a story back in 2003 that talked about CD's degrading after less than 2 years.
