DB developer says : Cryptresearchers were using database in way no one else would
Well, then, it's certainly unfair to report they cracked it.
I mean, that is just rude to use the database in a way that no one else would.
Most nefarious crackers are not going to do stuff like that so let's give this a pass.

The first time Edge users search for “chrome” or “firefox” using Bing — presumably with the intent of downloading those browsers from Google or Mozilla, respectively — they are shown a serious-looking message at the top of the search results. As opposed to those nice Google boys who always point all all browsers equally

Thinking of code as a beautiful work of art is a mistake. But at the same time we need to start seeing coding as a genuine skill that deserves professional recognition, says leading Software Craftsmanship advocate and JAX London speaker Sandro Mancuso. "It was pride that changed angels into devils"

What’s wrong with taking ownership of a solution? Do you prefer to work at a mansion, or a rest stop? Also, well crafted code is beautiful code, this article just sounds like an oxymoron.

DNA computing was first demonstrated in 1994 by Leonard Adleman who encoded and solved the travelling salesman problem, a maths problem to find the most efficient route for a salesman to take between hypothetical cities, entirely in DNA. "Nothing is lost. Nothing is forgotten. It was in the blood, the flesh, And now it is forever."
I don't think I'll be in the Beta test of that one.

CIO.com's Sharon Florentine talks to Jeff Sutherland, one of scrum's creators, to find out where the industry is, where it’s going and the challenges that lie ahead as more companies adopt agile and scrum. Let us all stand and gather to interpret the sacred user stories, then we shall sprint through the backlog to burn-down the spike
Or something like that.

Sutherland:
"Once an organization makes the transformation to agile or scrum or one of these iterations, there's often so much money left on the table, they can turn around and invest in their people and their own business processes and do it really, really well." Do I get a whiff of pie-in-the-sky here ?

I guess it's time to start storing your data on the Moon.
Oh, and I doubt that most law abiding companies are worried about this.

The US already has a flag there...
But I bet not only law abiding companies care, but individuals do too... did you read further... if the US does this, so can every other country that has a business presence in its borders.
How much do you trust EVERY other country to handle your information with integrity. The larger the surface area, the more likely there is a problem.

What? What has that got to do with anything?
This is about the US government telling the rest of the world that they do not have sovereignty over data that's on their soil.
People, companies, and organisations keep their data off US soil specifically because the US government has claimed the right to go in and rifle through that data. This case now says if you use cloud hosting by any US company then your data, anywhere in the world, is available at the beck and call of the US government.
The damage done to the US economy (not to mention reputation) is going to vastly outweigh any incremental value from the data it seeks to gain. Simply put: cloud hosting companies cannot afford the government's case to succeed.
This is insane. Totally insane.

I think this court case alone, win, lose or draw will do some serious damage. Who seriously thinks the US govt is going to stop trying to access international data.
Just how pissed are they going to be when China reciprocates?
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity
