The annual hacker convention currently underway in the Nevada desert draws a diverse crowd of professional and hobbyist security researchers from around the world. And, for the most part, they all share one defining characteristic: the desire to stick it to The Man.

Fans of Issa Rae’s Insecure have been left wondering about the fates of best friends Issa and Molly and their crushingly cute but infuriating love interests for almost a year. Now, the end of the wait is nighInsecure comes back for its third season on Sunday, August 12.
Insecure is one of those rare shows that can make you choke on your laughter while tears are streaming down your face. It depicts the sometimes messy but always real story of a group of friends in Los Angeles.

Belching human smokestack Alex Jones is scrubbing his Twitter accounts of their most overt violations of Twitter’s Terms of Service.
On Thursday, CNN published a list of InfoWars and Jones tweets that contained fun content like individual harassment and degradation on the basis of religion and gender identity. These are behaviors that a reasonable reading of Twitter’s updated 2017 Terms of Service would seem to prohibit.
The news network sent the list to Twitter, after executives repeatedly said that Twitter was allowing Jones and InfoWars to remain on the platform because the accounts had not violated Twitter’s Terms of Service.
