The internet has made it easier for people to rise above controlled narratives and schools, so I don't buy that argument.
My "fat lot" comment was uncalled for. But nations definitely "allow" worse things than slavery. In the 20th century, nations killed hundreds of millions of people, often their own citizens.

You don't have to; but similar to how the newspaper and tv is controlled, so the internet. People do not seek out news, but confirmation of what their neighbours tell them.

Well, when a certain-coloured person living in a certain-coloured house finds out that the research was carried out by Zhang Shaomin, Yuan Sheng, Huang Lipeng, Zheng Xiaoxiang, Wu Zhaohui, Xu Kedi, and Pan Gang, take a wild guess at which budget such research will be funded by in the US.

Good code needs to meets two key requirements. First, it should be correct: when executing, it should produce the result that is expected. Second, it should be easy to read for other developers. So I should stop encrypting my source?

I don't understand how it's possible for so many people to repeat things that have already been said by millions of other people, but still think they're being original and creative.

And how many times has this been sarcastically observed about filler articles on slow news days?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

What will we see from product teams creating new software for the enterprise and how will they prioritize what to build? Meet the new code, same as the old code

Good God!
I'm pretty sure that that wasn't written by a dev, because a dev would have put at least some substance and a few specifics into it.
It's what, about 30 inches of column that says absolutely nothing. If his father's a politician, he'll be so proud of his son.

New vulnerabilities in the SQLite database engine affect a wide range of applications that utilize it as a component within their software packages. The attacks are coming from inside the database!
|
|
|
|

I've read up on Magellan and now this and I have yet to see ANY explanation of how these can be used to execute code. In every explanation, code is already being executed in a Chrome container. SQLite is forced to crash that container and then magic happens. (Every article seems to simply repeat Tencent's claims verbatim. Moreover, this is very specific to Chromium; if your app allows SQL injection, you have way more problems to worry about, but even then it doesn't result in the App magically executing actual foreign code.)

Plus, I think it’s fixed in Chrome, and the likelihood of someone even trying the overflow in something else is pretty unlikely.
I agree that “the holes you make are bigger than the holes the press warns about “ (I really need to work on that bumper sticker aphorism. Not “sexy” enough yet.

ZDNed enthused: Song showed his dissatisfaction with how the two parties, Twelve Security and IPVM, handled the data leak disclosure, giving Wyze only 14 minutes to fix the leak before going public with their findings. Now, there really need to be laws about that.
Fair enough, it's possible, with many people working on and through servers, that a server can become exposed by mischance, miscalculation, or inexperience, but that is not as big a threat as some bloody idiot posting about it on twitter, letting the whole world know about it before the error can be corrected.
Giving the support team 15 minutes before releasing to twitter -- on Boxing Day! -- can only be interpreted as a malicious act.
There should be legal consequences for such stupid and dangerous behaviour.
Twelve Security and IPVM.com are well and truly in my bad books.

The resolution establishes an expert committee representing all regions of the world “to elaborate a comprehensive international convention on countering the use of information and communications technologies for criminal purposes.” That should solve everything, as all UN solutions do

I think it's safe to assume that any proposal supported by Soviet-"we don't extradite our cyber criminals ever"-Russia will do less than nothing to actually make the situation better.

So, essentially, they've invented the optical telegraph, but smaller than is required for Kiddicraft[^] sets.
I can't help but wonder how they're supposed to get hundreds of thousands of single protons into hundreds of thousands of tubes that pass through one-to-many layers of the chips during manufacture, but, thankfully, that's not my problem to solve.
