How can developers be so lazy and so security naive?
security commonly falls under the "not my problem" area while "it MUST work" is always the priority. is that really so hard to comprehend?

Ok, government, you win. You've got our data. Now, what can we do to make sure you use it against Them and not against Us? In fact, can you tell the difference?
If we want our government to back off, the deal has to be that if — when — the next attack comes, we can't complain that they should have surveilled us harder.
A trade isn't fair trade if we don't know what we're giving up. Do you hear that, Security for Privacy trade-off?
1) no, "government" doesn't win. those that have violated the constitution should be tried and punished.
2) there is an extraordinary difference between "we dont want you to do unconstitutional warrantless mass surveillance and universally weaken security" and "we dont want you to do any surveillance". should they do surveillance? yes, off course, that's why government spies exist, to find and stop those who want to harm us. that said, warrantless mass surveillance is not required to achieve that goal and if the people in the government dont understand that then they are clearly in the wrong line of work.
cluetrain, let me show you my cluebat.
not to spoil it for you but it's time travel. i'll be making my announcement in 2044 and personally demonstrate that you can travel 5 minutes back in time. needless to say, i forgot to carry the one.
We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better...stronger...faster. Wait, only six million? He already costs 17 million and his legs don't even work! Budget cuts?! FORGET IT! PROJECT OVER! *flips table over*
btw, to date his full cost is in fact $17 million.
What if we agree to spell out obscure acronyms the first time?
I guess I disagree. I don't want to have to see "Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol" the first time in every article that mentions TCP/IP
good news everyone! using time travel, i have added a html tag specifically for abbreviations. go ahead and try it, it's the <abbr> tag.

Each of the flavors builds on the "base" set of packages for Fedora. For instance, each flavor uses the same packages for the kernel, RPM, Yum, systemd, Anaconda, and so forth.
Thanks to horizontal completions petroleum products (gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, plastics and on and on and on) prices are plummeting.
and with bullets on sale it's even cheaper to shoot ourselves in the foot!
Thanks to horizontal completions, natural gas is now cheaper the coal in the US and coal power plants are being converted to natural gas which is all around cleaner, safer, and produces half the CO2 of coal.
that's as great as getting half as much cancer than normal.
Thanks to horizontal completions, OPEC's 40 year cartel appears to be at an end, and horizontal completions dropping the price of oil has been the most effective "sanction" by far on Russia, putting more pressure on Putin and the ruble then all the heads of state combined.
i'm no fan of bad governments but wouldn't it be better to just do away with OPEC by moving to clean energy like solar?
it seems our efforts of sabotage are coming to fruition in the form of retaliation.
always remember, you reap what you sow.
fuck you, i have awesome social skills and i'll break the face of anyone who says otherwise!
The company hopes to attract more businesses with the optional feature
they seemed to have forgotten the part where the employee has choose to use it. i wouldnt be surprised if they lose all their users in a month's time to a similar application that isn't spyware.
lately, US news and politics are more vapid and transparent than grumpy cat's take on things. the reality is that our political system is really because voters are gullible enough to thing they have a choice about what happens when it's really a one party system. the news spews lies about everything like it's DEFCON 1 everyday when they are speaking of meaninal bullshit. meanwhile there are serious matters that has caused a massive schism in the middle class and shit is hitting the fan. if you protest you are either cordoned off and ignored and/or abused by the police which are not help accountable for their actions. can you blame us for wanting an escape? (psst, the answer is here)
people got them into their current situation and people are keeping them there, it's that simple. it's a global problem, it's just worse in some areas.
the most universally relevant reason being that systemd has a HUGE attack surface. the other reasons all feed into this one issue, it's a blaring and blindingly bright security issue.
Do you really believe that IBM, Oracle, RedHat, HP, CenturyLink,
with thinking like that, you might as well start using Windows because Microsoft will fix it too. the point is that it's a needless complexity that increases the risk of critical/exploitable bugs occurring.
do they ever say when their classified system gets breached? no, of course not, it would let people know how laughable their security really is.
