How, exactly, do you compare speeds between quantum computers? If you begin looking into this issue, you'll quickly learn it's far more complicated than anyone really wanted it to be. Quantum computer speed measured in cats per qubit?

Thermal diodes may serve as the building blocks of future thermal computers, which could run at temperatures at which today's electronic computers would quickly overheat and stop working. Because heat sinks are for the weak

This document enumerates all the major changes that have been applied to the C++ working draft since the publication of C++14, up to the publication of the C++17 DIS (N4660). For those keeping score (but it looks like the answer is '+=3')

Developers earn higher salaries when their software skills are scarce and more complex, according to VisionMobile’s 12th annual report on developer economics released this week. "You know there’s a lot of opportunities if there aren’t, you can make them"

It's a milestone day for the mobile world: Android's internet use has overtaken that on Windows PCs for the first time. So I guess we can expect a few more Android hacks soon

Internet on the Android sucks. It's slow, Chrome crashes way too often and the ads, which can be fairly easily ignored in Windows/Linux, become really intrusive.

Again, they avoid mentioning that 93.7% (+/- 0.0001%) of android Internet access is background activity, and has nothing to do with browsers.
Everyone I know opens web pages in android browsers only if they won't have access to a computer soon enough -- and most people would rather walk 50 yards and open a browser on windows than use a phone browser.

Yeah, Chris suggested that one. I think we need to be on his level to understand it.

A new attack that uses terrestrial radio signals to hack a wide range of Smart TVs raises an unsettling prospect—the ability of hackers to take complete control of a large number of sets at once without having physical access to any of them. Beware of people driving by your house with TV transmitters?

Just when we learned the importance of HTTPS in address bars, spammers and malicious hackers have figured out how to game the system. Why we can't have nice stuff, part 443

Told ya so.
Back when SMTP was invented, the marketing scum pounced on it because it was a free way for them to mass distribute their spam and viruses. Now email traffic is over 80% spam.
Anytime you make something free, like Letsencrypt has done, the criminals will lap it up like puppies. Letsencrypt are completely responsible for this mess that they have created.
Back when SSL costed $300 a year cybercriminals would almost never spend that money...
Oh well, I'm wasting my breath. Bring on the criminals. That's our world now.

The solution is to set LetsEncrypt as an un-trusted CA.
I think it's better if people start doing that sooner, rather than later.

That is the only solution at this point.
What is surprising is that the major browsers are trusting this CA which does not validate certificates. There is no checking of credentials, business details, policing of the OBVIOUS phishing urls - NONE. None at all.
Just here, free certs!
The mind boggles.
They need to be sued.

It's total craziness.
Like allowing a known criminal organization to start a bank. "Sure, bring your money in and we'll keep it safe in our vaults for free. Sure we will."

There were always certs issued to phishing sites, that's nothing new. Only the scale is new.
|
|
|
|

While this is true, if analytics has taught us anything, it's that just scale provides a hell of a lot of power.
A CA should follow up on reports of fraudulent activity. This is how it's always worked, and verified malicious activity is generally rewarded with a revocation of certificates.
That's not how LetsEncrypt operates, nor can they, thanks to the scale of the problem.

It's not an "s" that makes a site secure. At the very least one must use a decent browser (i.e. not IE) and check the address bar and title bar. If something looks strange about the site double check the IP with other DNS and some historical data (I keep my bank IPs on a text file just in case). Technology is not a substitute for brain.
When the 'S' in HTTPS also stands for shady Please stand up!
