  4. Ethical hacker? on Cameroon Innovator Beats Internet Shutdown With SMS App (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Hacking isn't a registered profession. Thus, there is no professional "code of Ethics" for hackers to follow, and it's impossible to be an "Ethical Hacker." Please stop feeding the trolls who sell "ethical hacker" bullshit course-ware.

    So now "notch" is the word we use for "occlusion" when talking about shitty screen design?

  7. You can't commit an act of war if you're not a state actor. If any state committed an act of war on 9/11 it was Saudi Arabia.

  8. Can't believe nobody has bothered to post this yet on Should the Word 'Milk' Be Used To Describe Nondairy Milk-Alternative Products? (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    milk (n.) Old English meoluc (West Saxon), milc (Anglian), from Proto-Germanic *meluks "milk" (source also of Old Norse mjolk, Old Frisian melok, Old Saxon miluk, Dutch melk, Old High German miluh, German Milch, Gothic miluks), from *melk- "to milk," from PIE root *melg- "to wipe, to rub off," also "to stroke; to milk," in reference to the hand motion involved in milking an animal. Old Church Slavonic noun meleko (Russian moloko, Czech mleko) is considered to be adopted from Germanic. Of milk-like plant juices from late 14c. Milk chocolate (chocolate made with milk solids, paler and sweeter) is first recorded 1723; milk shake is first recorded 1889, for a variety of creations, but the modern version is only from the 1930s. Milk tooth (1727) uses the word in its figurative sense "period of infancy," attested from 17c. To cry over spilt milk is first attested 1836 in writing of Canadian humorist Thomas C. Haliburton. Milk and honey is from the Old Testament phrase describing the richness of the Promised Land (Numbers xvi.13, Old English meolc and hunie). Milk of human kindness is from "Macbeth" (1605).

  11. Have I ever been ghosted by an employer? on Ask Slashdot: Have You Ever 'Ghosted' an Employer? (linkedin.com) · · Score: 1

    Fuck yes like 90% of the place I've applied never respond back even once. As for the other way around, yes, I ghosted on Radio Shack (Canada.) They scheduled me to come in at 6am the day after Christmas, and this was just after the lost the lease on the name, so I was supposed to spend the next week going through the store and re-labeling everything with a Radio Shack logo on it, using stickers. I was like "fuck this" and slept in and never went back. When working for Toronto Computes! Magazine in the 90's, there was another guy in the test lab who worked for a different magazine. He just stopped coming in one day, and they kept paying him for 6 months before someone from management finally called me to ask why he wasn't submitting completed work and I was like "I thought he was fired he hasn't been here for 6 months..."

  12. So where is a link to the data set? on A Massive Cache of Law Enforcement Personnel Data Has Leaked (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Seriously, Slashdot. Where's the fucking link?

  13. Why do I care if someone else mishandles the unique bullshit I gave them once upon a time. Surely, if I were stupid enough to use my email address as ID on someone else's computer, they would have a moral responsibility to use that email and contact me to let me know about the breach. If not, why do they want my email in the first place?

  15. I am suggesting exactly that. ICE is committing war crimes. These people all listed themselves as war crime practitioners on LinkedIn in hope of finding work doing war crimes for other, private contractors.

  16. So every ICE agent who posted their ID to LinkedIn should be arrested? I'm down with that.

    It's not those lists tho it's the list of people who self-identify as ICE goons. Will be needed for evidence in future war crimes trials, since it was grabbed before they thought to sanitize it.

    It's a collection of data libraries and code for accessing them. It's totally repository appropriate, and posting it as open code and data is much more transparent than wikileaks, who fucking suck at actually providing the data and the means to interpret the data.

  22. Re:Didn't take MS to start fucking up github on GitHub, Medium Remove Public ICE Employee Data Repository (obsceneworks.com) · · Score: 1

    It was on Github because it included both data, and code for making some use of the data. That said, pure data with no code is still a valid repository and has uses such as AI training that make it a proper fit in a repository environment, if you are serious about that sort of thing. This is actually a better model for making leaks like wikileaks, where they have a closed source web interface to the data, and pure data dumps (like Ashley Madison) where the end user has to figure out how to mount the data in a parseable manner.
