oh, no it's russian hackers again! someone, call james comey!


People coming to unstable states like US or Ukraine, balancing on the edge of government collapse, should expect such things to happen with pretty high probability. I really can't see why this could be surprising at all.


Actually Ukraine is the stable escape strategy for conferences which should have been held in Russia. Latia is also quite popular, but Ukraine is the usual target to escape Russia's strange visa handling. I wonder what will be the escape country for the US situation. Canada or Mexico.


It seems to me that Japan would be better place to hold tech conferences than any other country right now


Been to a tech conference in Japan. Extremely expensive, and nobody speaks English. Europe still holds the best options.


There's nothing unbelievable in this findings regardless of authenticity of these images. I know about at least one such case here in Russia, from my own fathers career, and he told me there were others. It's something people know about for quite a long time, at least in our country.


It is the particulars here that are unbelievable to me. Normal after hemespherectomy - sure, depending on the lobe, you will have fully intact language, hemiblindness but probably can regain motor function on the effected side after some time (depending on age). No cerebellum, nbd, cerebellum does not plan, initiate, or stop motor movement - it only corrects errors and has some putative cognitive roles.

What we have here is far more extreme: massive cortical tissue loss and compression, bilaterally. His striatum looks completely gone. There are many well studied and documented patients with far less tissue loss who suffer major cognitive and learning deficits. That makes this case here remarkable to me.


It's probably not a tissue loss, rather it's just undeveloped, as it was in the case I mentioned above. But nevertheless this probably should push nervous system to its limits to compensate such deficiency, so it's quite remarkable indeed.


just drop this REST hype altogether and use adequate protocols for communication


As in design a custom TCP/IP protocol for every application?


I think there are a few GraphQL enthusiasts entering this thread right now, which has its own merits, but can live perfectly next to REST.


In my company we use graphql for getting, and REST for all other operations.

Might be an antipattern, but has served us well.

We're also using a special flavor of graphql that returns the data as flat dictionaries instead of deeply nested dictionaries. Whether you need that or not of course depends on the client design.


As in using GraphQL for this purpose, I presume. Or even offering an SQL-API. Seems more ideal than overly complicated URL schemes.


when things start to get interesting, it's better to switch to JSON-RPC


It's not really that hard: there's no way terrorists can counter terrorism


What's really interesting is why US officials still not investigating the fact that media companies (like Bezos' one) are actively trying to undermine every action government tries to take and jeopardize its foreign relations at all costs


Wow that's more FUD and BS in one article, than WP spits out in whole month. Seems like news producers are going mad in attemts to produce some news out of nothing.



So JWT is bad because there are bad implementations and there are dumb people who shoot their feet^W^W^Wdon't force alg. Seems like doing software development for 13 years leads to serious problems with logic. There is also confusion between sessions and session storage. Meh..
