Here's a post about threat exposure management tools I mention here: https://www.reddit.com/r/cybersecurity/comments/1gpmfuf/best...

"It turned out that the teen who discovered the bug, Grant Thompson, had attempted to contact Apple about the issue but was unable to get a response."

Good they fixed this. Too often security vulnerabilities remain unaddressed, I think that was the case with Mariot hotels data leak, the staff knew for quite some there are privacy troubles. Now they're being fined for not taking action.

I'm all up for public transportation, and this article brings some interesting questions.

First of all, I don't believe that people will be sending their self-driving cars to pick up coffee from the other side of the town. Food delivery services are already developing rapidly and bringing products to us. Though that's only one thing, sending your self-driving car wherever you want, and if people to it massively..could end up in even worse traffic.

However, I just hate reading about drunk drivers, including cops and politicians. So far the amount of accidents with self driving cars is minimal, remains to be seen when they're launched in full power.

Public transportation is the solution imho. Investing into comfortable buses and trains, not smelly and malfunctioning machines from soviet union.

Interesting story, though I can't say the practice is celebratory. I think there's too much waste in the world, starting from such events where things are like...getting crushed for fun, ending tot he food restaurants throw out. Yet it's an interesting phenomena about the train crashes

The comparison itself is wonderful too

Thanks for sharing, nothing groundbreaking, but the general principle is there. Modern internet is all about freedom, and sharing, access to info and so own, Wikipedia is a great example of how progressive internet could be. Then there's Facebook that will go miles to access users data, and Trump is tweeting nonsense. I get why people are angry with the state of internet atm.

Nice, makro-history is interesting. Most of you probably know it, but regarding ancient history Noah Yuval Harari is a master writer, apiens: A Brief History of Humankind is a great book on this topic.

Thanks for sharing this, interesting.

These are the guys that can't properly secure their main product. Facebook has been leaking all around, I think Instagram stored passwords in plain text, and last year their cookies were stolen too. Ain't touching this for some time.

Personally I like steam, and I don't mind them being a current monopolists of gaming platforms. All of the gaming market has been capitalized and we see companies like EA pushing their teams to the limit just for a release before a fiscal year. Results in half-baked product. Big publishers, including Blizzard, are having a tough time, and steam is a great platform for smaller devs to promote their content (Darkest Dungeon is a good success story). Sure Valves economic policies are profit oriented, but IMHO there's a good side to steam.

Nice, I never thought there's such a problem to begin with, but it makes sense. Goes broader than just "boring" study results, clickbaits and controversial topics are flooding the news feed, dulls the critical thinking. Reading through something boring at first may give interesting results, learned it first hand studying Hegels dialectics :D
