Breaking news: content aggregation platform sues newer content aggregation platform for retrieving their data from an older content aggregation platform they rely on. More at 11

I've been working in WordPress security for years and I'm always a little surprised when a big-name company like Mandiant says they've "never seen this sort of thing before" because I remember seeing malware using whitespace encoding as far back as 2018. Of course, it's a very different segment...

Some say the world will end in fire, Some in ice. From what I've tasted of the net, I think I'd rather hedge my bet, For while fire and ice are both quite nice, I think that SEO spam will suffice.

"actual malice" is a legal term that isn't quite what it sounds like. IANAL, but it can involve reckless disregard for the truth of statements so it might apply.

Oooh this probably means an exciting new bunch of vulnerabilities in Teams!

Pretty sure the actual determinant of whether remote work is more or less productive than in-office work is whether the particular company culture insists on filling 3/4 of the day with zoom meetings or whether they let their folks mostly work asynchronously with occasional standups. Bonus...

Amazing how much more the SpaceX folks are able to accomplish while Musk is distracted.

I mean yeah and that's fine for commodities and luxury goods. Setting price at the maximum that the market will bear isn't a problem for widgets and doodads and fancy purses. Housing is a need though which makes price fixing more of a hostage situation.

I dunno, $100,000 seems pretty cheap to reliably identify an attempted murderer.

So, I have a Car Thing and it's...pretty great for what is clearly a gimmick? It's tiny, well-designed, and mostly easy to use and the only thing I hate about it is the fact that it aggressively brings up spotify on your phone whenever you're near your car half the time, but doesn't actually...

Ah yes, if only all of us lazy Americans with our unlimited free time and energy to prep expensive healthy food and work out would just be more virtuous and upstanding instead of curling up on the couch with our netflix and mcdonalds. I'm being facetious of course but it does strike me that if...

These books were very important to 17-year-old me, but watching the show it very quickly became apparent that the source material didn't really hold up in retrospect and that I might have enshrined the books as being better than they actually were. The show also has strong "90s BBC miniseries"...

I mean, "Be as absolutely evil as you can possibly get away with" is definitely adopted by a lot of companies but it's not a requirement to be competitive and plenty of companies do fine with "be as evil as necessary to be competitive and no more" and there's a number of cases where serving the...

(emphasis mine) So wait, we can't even make fun of them? We'll be forced to hang out with the unvaccinated if they want to get up in our faces? We won't even be allowed to shun them under penalty of law? Sounds like a whole raft of 1A violations and then some.

Just like when I buy software, I do understand when I "buy" something from an online service that I'm not buying the thing, only a license to use the thing BUT I also make the assumption that that license gives me access to the thing in perpetuity, because I sure wouldn't be willing to spend...

Something to remember is that Apple doesn't just want a cut of the price of all premium apps, it wants a cut of ALL money that passes through ANY app that's not a browser. If your company sells any kind of services, and you have an app, Apple wants to be able to take a cut of any payments that...

> For example, the study shows that a clear majority of consumers use mobile devices for "bandwidth and data-intensive applications" like streaming multimedia content—including watching news and sports, as well as streaming movies and television shows from services like Netflix, Hulu, etc...

Honestly at this point I'd be willing to settle for the ISPs taking the money and actually doing buildout with it instead of "lolthx, suckers" like you know they're going to do again.

So, I think the ISPs have "tell". They're claiming that internet is an "information service", i.e. asymmetric, rather than a "telecommunication service", i.e. symmetric, because that's what their goal is: The only things you should download are what they make available, and the only things you...
