Judge says he must still approve sale of Infowars to The Onion
  • You'd think if Jones pulled together 3.5 million to bid indirectly through a shell company for his own bankruptcy they'd just you know... take that money and give it to his creditors then continue with the sale since it's still not enough...

  • Too bad they are missing their Christmas bonuses.
  • Studies generally show the economy does better under Democrats than Republicans, in measurements of CPI, GDP, job growth, and unemployment. Republicans however have a massive propaganda machine that has gaslit the country in believing the opposite. Frequently this is backed by short term plays that make things "feel" better but cause significant long term problems. Like a CEO firing the QA team, line goes up this quarter and by the time the consequences arrive they're gone and blame the next guy.

  • Please.
  • Good Album. Boom! is still sadly as applicable today.

    The name being their response to early versions of the tracks leaking in Napster is great. Not "you're taking our money" but "wait till we finish the songs, THEN steal it".

    The disc itself looks just like a blank CD-R with a sharpie label, but there's also "hand drawn" alternate versions from each of the members.

  • Matt Mullenweg and WordPress Hijack the Advanced Custom Fields Plugin

    A bit of background, for those not steeped in the world of WordPress development: there exists a plugin called Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) which allows developers to create near-endless customization options for end clients in the standard page and post editor. It is hard to explain in a single par...

  • Seeing "the source is available here on GitHub", "the project was forked and is now maintained as (other name)", etc. after most of these really helps show the difference with Google. Well that and the length of the article, Google has far more deaths under their belt.

  • Big Penny!
  • The bridge is on S Pennsylvania Ave in Lansing, MI, hence "Penny". Construction has routed more people through there than normal lately increasing the bridge's hunger.

    If there's one thing people that rent trucks or RVs never learn, it's the height of their vehicle (and that yes the flashing overheight lights are in fact for you).

    Source: Used to live near there.

  • 2.9 billion hit in one of the largest data breaches ever — full names, addresses and SSNs exposed
  • Yea that's a tough system to design for. Ideally you want sensitive stuff like that, where you don't care what the data is just that something matches it, stored as the results of a one-way hash function.

    The problem is that most of the data you're going to want to secure is pathetically tiny. 10 digit SSN? My phone can brute force that in a few minutes if you're doing raw hashes. Gotta salt them. But now you have a tradeoff decision, salting every one uniquely is best but now your comparison needs to do [leaked data] × [customers] checks to find matches. Same salt on all of them and as soon as one is cracked they all are.
