on: Supermicro spy chips, the sequel: It happened, insists Bloomberg
We put _so_ much trust to the government. Why you trust an entity that hide something from the public. We cannot let them have so much power, to dictate the public how to live, they are just another human being. They watch us with all the power we give to them, and then we loose control and let them behave as they like and we can't watch them in the end. They collect taxes but not competent to manage it and make people hard to living. Look, we are not cattles, we are human.

Don't buy any gadget online as it will be easy to be intercepted and replaced with the malware version. Live out of the grid as you can if you think these stalkers endangered your existence.

These badass nerds create havoc. Gentlemen, we need to accelerate the open-source hardware initiatives to counter these elites. Back in 2010, I even think about an LCD that act like a two-way mirror. Now it's become reality. Your LCD is a camera in disguise. Chant the mantra, 'Only the paranoid survive..'.

This is not an infinitely zooming. It is like someone drives a car.

on: Big name corporations more likely to commit fraud: study
Fallacy study, from the start. This study need big data analysis to make an unbiased conclusion. Collect all companies data on earth (law cases, locality, races/ethnics, etc). Big or small (company's size) is nothing to do with fraudulent.

on: Android emulator abused to introduce malware onto PCs
The vector is like a mosquito, attack vector. Here software updating infrastructure is a kind of that, connected with your emulator and PC via the Internet.

on: Android emulator abused to introduce malware onto PCs
Exactly like what I thought. Any connected devices (via USB cable, WiFi, the Internet, etc) can be a (potential) vector (Postulate 1).

on: Peter Naur's view of programming
I wrote one. My point is, we need a better way to write a complex equation as easy as we wrote some texts like in MS Word or LibreOffice. That's an innovation. At least some guys in Microsoft or LibreOffice guys already did. Hide the complexity. Maybe one day you could write a complex equation only by voice command. No one will touch TeX anymore.

on: Disqus, a dark commenting system
We forget, the main reason we post a comment is to be read by others. So there's nothing wrong because it is "you" wrote the comments and it is "you". Sure you already read their Terms of Service (ToS) before embedding their product in your website. There is no free lunch as there are some costs to develop and maintain a product. If you are a coder, develop your own commenting system is not hard. They just do what they do for survival, like everybody else.

Old version? You have to understand that some applications need innovation based on new ideas. TeX is only popular in the academic and publishing world, not like a web browser. Can we write a complex equation in TeX as easy as we write in popular word applications like MS Word?

It depends on size of the company. Cost is a relative instrument. Develop a big market product, highly demanding, or for a critical mission application is another story for "cost".

on: The U.S. Spent $2.2M on Security System That Wasn’t Implemented
Sure. Computer (including smartphone today) and the Internet is a part of US DNS (Digital Nervous System), SenseNET. Have you also heard about MITCH (Man In The CHair) concept coined by a US Air Force researcher (URL:
https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a332722.pdf). Frankly said the computer and the Internet are a kind of weapon in disguise in the domain of information warfare and the intelligence community. The Truth is Out There.

No breach. That stupid hackers broke in to honeypots. US government conducts large scale network security experiments. Don't believe what news told you.
