They hacked his computer. Causing modifications to it. How can they prove whatever they found was not planted there? Usually computer forensics researchers, to have their evidence be admissible, use s…

That's actually pretty cool! But really same mitigation should just happen on the normal syscall path for an even smaller perf impact.

Um, investigate them impartially?

"We made 10 layoffs in order to recover to a healthier financial position. Savings: $585,000" so these people cost the company $58,500 apiece (this is incl. their benefits, insurance, etc). …

>So how do you account for Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Larry Page, and so on? Is this a game of "which of those three does not belong"? If so, too easy...

As sad as it is unsurprising. But this will continue until the justice system stops assuming cops are always right and everyone else is always guilty.

Repeat after me: "No, officer, you may not see my wallet. I do not consent to a search of myself, my vehicle, or my property. I furthermore, refuse to have any further conversation with you. May …

This is as sad as it was predictable. Disallowing people to speak about certain things makes it very easy to target your political enemies. Well played, EU. Well played. What a coincidence that some o…

The laser power might kill the victim, but using this for actually sending electricity might work. Might be a good replacement for high power lines in some cases.

Most interesting thing in the article: they can likely use pulsed lasers to guide lightning!

A fair explanation of the problem. I imagine most start-ups would not easily stomach the proposed solution.

Some of the cheaper cards (and USB keys back in the day) sort of assume you'll use a single FAT[/32] partition and they understand the FAT and use it as poor man's TRIM information. The…

I'm not even going to try to reply on the sexist nature of the second half of this comment, but focus on the startup-related one. Your guy switched to another company because you were on track to…

Yes, unless you refuse to admit it and instead claim that security is improved by obscurity you chose to engage in.

This reads more like an excuse then a reason. Nothing of what he says is a reason that prevents them from being more open. All that he says is summarized in "it was too hard to think of a solutio…

I am happy to cheer for failure of a company that took millions on a premise that is physically impossible.

Looks interesting

What did the founder risk? OtherPeoples'Money?

Most startups don't even pay enough to rent a 2br apt. Must the end goal be to be single and family-less forever? ;)

Silicon valley is built on naive dreamers who time and time again expect to make money as startup employees against all rules of logic and contrary to historical data.

Glass Cockpit != touch screen eg: Garmin 1000, Avidyne

And this, boys and girls, is why you should never join a second start-up. Join one early, see how it works & learn as much as you can. Do not expect $$$ - you will not make any. Then decide if you…
