Does anyone else find that the Microsoft login page is hosed up?
Currently, it only allows you to use credentials from another site (MS, Facebook, or Google). There is no place to actually specify credentials.

A CMU team says the system can recreate audio from a speaker by looking at a nearby bag of Doritos. "If the van is rocking..."

The standard will launch in 2025 with 512 GB/s speeds. And eight times harder to find for sale
|

Will it be eight times faster, or eight times as fast?
The former means 9 times as fast.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

From a pedantic point of view, consider language as sort of a close relative to mathematics, you are correct.
But the way we use the language does not necessarily follow math rules. If you ask the man in the street, say "Car A drives 30 mph. Car B drives two times faster. How fast does car B drive?" I am quite certain that less than one in a hundred will answer "90 mph".
Math arguments are not always applicable to natural language. "8 times faster" is interpreted similar to "8 times as fast".
(And I am quite sure that you were not really in doubt about the intended meaning. You just found an opportunity to point out what you consider to be somebody else's mistake. Here I'll give you another opportunity: I could care less!)

Exactly. If I had cared less, as I say I could, I wouldn't have responded.

NASA tried three times during the month of April to complete a critical fueling test of its large Space Launch System rocket. And three times, due to about half a dozen technical problems, the space agency failed. They forgot the next number?

Have you ever been frustrated by an error message that you are missing an SDK but are not sure why? Got .NET?

Open-source software has been increasingly popular among developers and tech companies. However, the unrestricted deployment of open-source code is steadily becoming a security risk, claims a new report titled “The State of Open-Source Security”. We need more eyes?

rampant use means parts of me are unsafe as well. depends upon how you use it and with what.
To err is human to really elephant it up you need a computer

Given the size of the breaches at companies using Open Source I can definitely see where this report is coming from. The underlying issue is the end user (IT center) doesn't know the true scope of their exposure because they don't know all the components being used.

Isn't there a name for this sort of fallacy?
Yes, open source leads to security risks precisely because it is widely used. If there is more open source usage then it surely necessarily and naturally follows that there will be more risks associated with it.
The same could be said of closed source. Risks will always be associated with that which is used the most.
In a similar vein, US intelligence during the aftermath of the invasion of Iraq identified the Casio F-91W as a watch likely to be worn by insurgents and terrorists. (They also attributed certain technical capabilities to the watch which were incorrect but that's a separate matter). Well, of course it was likely to be used by terrorists and insurgents in a third world country! Why? because the F-91W is made in greater number than any other watch model and retails worldwide for £5-£10. In others words, it was a popular watch with terrorists because it was a massively popular and cheap watch. It was not, however, despite the tunnel vision lens through which US intelligence saw it, a meaningful or useful indicator of a predilection to terrorism or insurgency!

Base rate fallacy, maybe?
Similar to the people feeling that Linux was somehow more secure, until it became popular enough that hackers showed how it wasn't?

Yup, a bit of that. And confirmation bias too, I think.
