News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

You can call them “school resource officers”, but that doesn’t magically make them good. They are typically a role model for high school bullies who want to continue to bully after graduation (aka be a police officer).
Sounds like the same method as the US president. It hasn’t worked out for him.

You are literally asking for someone else to do the hard part of thinking of an idea for you. You can’t expect someone to give their good idea to you so you can make your own company. If you are looking to simply be your own boss become a contractor. There are many resources to help you do that.
Maybe because their choices and actions didn’t just harm them, but others they came into contact with. When a person puts others lives and health at risk because they are an idiot then they don’t deserve sympathy. They got what they deserved.
Good! Police shouldn’t be legal bullies!
Re:State Department Announces Great Firewall for the US on Thursday August 06, 2020 @07:04PM (#24076344)
They want to safeguard “America” which basically means the government. If they want to safeguard citizens then we need a firewall that keeps out American agencies, and makes it illegal for companies to sell information to the US government. It should also put the users in control of what data companies can take without consent.
Re:Life is a RPG video game on Wednesday August 05, 2020 @12:44AM (#24057306)
The article doesn’t talk about the reverse and more logical conclusion. RPG video games imitate life. If life were really a video game then death doesn’t matter since you can always press the reset button. You can also start over from a saved location.
That makes no sense. The people at the usps are federal employees (aka not a third party) and know the ramifications for tampering with the mail. I trust them to handle people’s votes over a volunteer everyday of the week. Opening more voting locations is a state responsibility, but when one party has a history of shirking their responsibilities and disenfranchising minorities then states ran by that party are hard to trust.
Then you are lucky enough to not know any valley girls.

Please forgive my ignorance!

I am sorry! You are right! I automatically assumed everyone with cryptocurrency understood the risks and benefits, but if this is to become mainstream we need to educate people. I am sorry for making such assumptions about people.
Would that be a mobius strip of universes? That makes me think of the central finite curve from Rick and Morty.

If people were stupid enough to fall for that then I put the fault on them.
Why does that matter? The bitcoins were sent by the owners of their own free will. No one’s private key was stolen and no coins were double spent. People were tricked into sending an address bitcoin. That is on them, and they should learn from it.
I agree with the decision, but I can see cyberbullying and suicides going up.
They are mutually exclusive, and both work in this case. You may not like it, but by definition they both work.
So he is scared of AI, but makes cars that are controlled by AI. That doesn’t make sense.
Re:After Twitter Hack, Senator Asks Why DMs Aren't Encrypted on Wednesday July 22, 2020 @10:52AM (#23917659)
From your statement about “anyone who gains access to the account would still be able to read and write DMs, even when they would be encrypted” I thought we were looking for an approach that gives more security. Having the account password seed the encryption would still leave us with the same problem.

Easiest way I have seen is when an apple device asks if you want to share the wifi password with another device.

What you described wouldn’t be e2ee. If a person can login and have access to read or write DMs then it means the device gets the key from the server. Keeping the keys on the server completely misses the point of e2ee. The keys need to be stored on the individual devices. Also, it would be pretty easy to share keys between your devices.
