For their annual Black Friday stunt, Cards Against Humanity set man and machine against each other to see who could write the most wicked jokes. Then they came for the party game writers, and I did nothing, because I held an offensive combination of cards

Microsoft has been recently experimenting with Rust to improve the safety of their software. "In C++ it's harder to shoot yourself in the foot, but when you do, you blow off your whole leg."
"A very conservative estimate for Microsoft is each issue discovered in the field costs $150,000." Then if they keep issuing Windows patches as they have lately, they could go bankrupt in about a million patches?

What if you could manipulate the facial features of a historical figure, a politician, or a CEO realistically and convincingly using nothing but a webcam and an illustrated or photographic still image? I don't see this being used for awfulness. Not at all.

Kali Linux 2019.4 was released last week and with it comes an 'Undercover' mode that can be used to quickly make the Kali desktop look like Windows 10. Fake moustache and trench coat not included

If someone is running Linux at work, chances are pretty damn good that it's approved by the IT department. This is a pointless feature.

If it was a feature for Ubuntu/etc you'd be right in most cases. Kali linux isn't a daily driver distro; it's a collection of hacking tools used by pen-testers (and blackhats). Outside of businesses where that's a normal part of operations seeing the Kali logo should be a red flag.

Nearly all major technology companies are saying the same thing. Kubernetes is the next big thing in computing. "Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present."

One of the last places I'd look for tech trends is a financial site.

... that we're less than 2 years from the creation and mainstreaming of a tool to make kubernetes easy to use?

We've been taught to look out for that little padlock to ensure a website is secure. But it's dangerous to rely on just one detail. So, 'https://this-is-totally-a-real-secure-site.com' isn't legit?
And now I'm sad that URL isn't already taken. Those phishing folk sure are lazy! (and a cowardly and superstitious lot)

Then you been thaught wrong, and that's the problem (not the padlock); my parents know that they should always cancel an auto-download, and never click a link on an email with an address that they haven't got mail from before.
As a result, my fathers' laptop works fine for over 5 years, without having a virusscanner installed. (Both do have a custom host file, ofc).
The padlock doesn't turn green anymore in Chrome, so easiest solution there was to explain not to use chrome anymore

Ah, yes, like the company that tells me a password needs to be at least 10 characters, etc.
That's not doing much; it gives the nice cozy feeling of strict security. I don't want to know how many of those very secure passwords are saved in plain text or part of a logbook.
