That speaks volumes to the integrity of the researchers. Similarly, it speaks to a lack of the same @ Intel. Bribing for silence is not the way to deal with vulnerabilities. I’m glad the researchers are getting some recognition.


too bad that the groups of people most responsible for “letting things get so bad” and the groups of people who are now “seeing some real effects” on the daily, are probably mutually exclusive


Maybe, in democratic countries at least the people in charge might feel some more pressure to do something (or make it look they are doing something etc)


It might be optimistic to think that people will recognize the real cause. Politically it can be pretty effective to simply blame the disastrous effects on the policy of your opponents regardless of what the scientific evidence says.


Yeah I am trying to take something optimistic away from this. Im just hoping that at least some sizable minority of the voting populace starts to see climate change as the cause for some of their problems and start voting accordinongly. I think we are seeing this a little bit(in the US at least) republicans on the coasts are starting to soften on climate change[1].

Yeah, I was gonna say Skype communication protocol was proprietary and encrypted until Microsoft bought them and rewrite a lot of it.


this basically reads as:

"We didn't grow at all last quarter, but things here at Twitter are A-OKAY (please belive us)! We can still grow, all we need to do is destroy/modify the one thing that made us unique and successful!"


If the only thing that makes you unique and successful is a technical limitation that dates back to text messages, it’s probably time to move on.
