At least this time they broke their own products (although that would be way more awkward and embarrasing for me)

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

This article is really good and shouldn't be passed up.
No one cares about security until they are hacked.
And if security means there is no access functionality or makes accessing functionality extremely difficult then users are glad to be insecure.
Career advice: Good enough security trumps best security | CSO Online[^]
Article Quote:
The realization that most of the world doesn’t want the best security will help you advance in your security career.
One of the best things any computer security professional can do to further their career is to recognize that most people don’t really care that much about computer security. Few popular products sell because of security. Security absolutely doesn’t matter in most cases — until, of course, when it matters very much during a big hacking event. Most companies and their customers are very happy with the absolute least amount of security that has minimal impact on them. That’s just our computer security life. You must learn to operate within the confines of that social agreement.
Case in point: One of my most popular talks has been “The 12 Ways to Hack 2FA”. I’ve given the talk dozens of times. The key lessons are that multi-factor authentication (MFA) is good, but any MFA solution can be hacked. To that end, the current version of my talk now covers 18 ways to hack an MFA solution.
After every talk, at least one MFA vendor comes up to me to explain how their great solution fixes all those problems. Within a few minutes, I show them how five or seven of the attack types would easily work against their product. They usually go limping home.
Some vendors don’t give up. They come back to me with improved, five-factor (if there is such a thing) versions that do get rid of most of the attack channels. I’ve even come across a few that are really, really secure (but still not unhackable). They still walk away with a frown when I tell them that it’s unlikely that anyone will buy, much less use their product.
No customer is going to want to use an authentication solution that involves more than a few factors of authentication. Most want to do the very least to provide assurance to themselves with the least amount of “friction” for the customer. Companies know that anything that gets in the way of a customer using their product as seamlessly as possible is making them hemorrhage customers in a very real way.

A polyglot environment is a double-edged sword, bringing benefits along with complexities that may threaten the organization. Everyone uses their favourite, and the PM has to write the integration code?

Maybe you were once advised to “look for the padlock” as a means of telling legitimate e-commerce sites from phishing or malware traps. Unfortunately, this has never been more useless advice. Nice to know that security is important to them

As a side note: I can't think of any site I trust more than Krebs'.
Loads of kudos.

There have been a "recent number of breakthroughs" that have made it possible, he said. And as he hinted before, it'd likely be a one-way trip -- he expects to "move there." please?

Experiments on mice that have been exposed to artificial radiation corresponding to cosmic rays over months showed that after only half a year, every single one of them suffered from Alzheimer's disease and starved. So: In your face, Elon Musk! You better get your lead suit ready.

What is on Mars? There is nothing to do there except try to get the red stain out of your pants from the red dirt. You could always try Arizona out first, thats basically Mars with with a couple cactus, some oxygen and internet.

That's no fun.

For the first time, the same machine learning courses used to train engineers at Amazon are now available to all developers through AWS. Program like an Amazonian (bustier and braclets sold separately)
|
|
|
|
|
why would a human sign up if a machine is doing all the learning?
|
|
|
|
|
So the question to ask is: Do I want to teach machines?
Bear in mind that them as can, do.

Ohio appears set to become the first state to accept bitcoin for tax bills, a show of support for a technology that has garnered lots of hype but failed to gain traction as a form of payment. Article is behind a subscriber wall (not payable with BitCoins)

Article said: Beginning this week, Ohio businesses will be able to go to the website OhioCrypto.com and register to pay everything from cigarette sales taxes to employee withholding taxes with bitcoin. Eventually, the initiative will expand to individual filers.
Well, that site seems perfectly safe.
Here, try my site that will probably make you rich and not steal all your money...YourMoneyIsMyMoney.com*
*Disclaimer: This is an attempt at a joke, but who knows that is probably a registered domain name.

I bought some as an experiment and as I watch it the value is now down to 9% of what it was when I bought it!
I shall continue to watch it until I become either a millionaire or rounding errors reduce it's value to zero.
