At long last we've created Wintermute from William Gibson's classic 1984 novel Don't Create Wintermute
Definitely justifying this by helping my nephew with his Pinewood Derby car next year
India (among other countries) have passed so called "hostage-taking laws" that require large social media companies to have in-country employees that can be strong-armed from ways small to large (threats of being…
Payroll is one of the very few (only?) things that "pierces the corporate veil" - that is, the principals / board members are personally liable even in the event of corporate bankruptcy. You could engage a labor lawyer,…
The America First Party was most definitely NOT a fictional brand - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America_First_Party_(1943)
This exactly. For most small non-profs, basic IT upkeep - i.e. cleaning adware, patching vulns, getting backups set up and tested - is going to be so much useful than occasional airdropped code with no regular/timely…
The loss just on the lasers is 100x (i.e. delivered power is 1% of the input energy). Add in a combined cycle effeciency of only 50%, you're looking at needing a 200x improvement to have commercially relevant "net gain"
You need an MDM to manage it remotely. Something like Jamf Now is $2/device/month. Not sure how much the shipping costs, but might be break-even
I was taught basically this same method as the "Princess Bride" plan: Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya (who I am) You killed my father (why I'm reaching out) Prepare to die (my ask / expectation)
This paper references consistently mischaracterizes AWS Lambda as a "Container as a Service" technology, when in fact it is exactly the sort of lightweight VM that they are describing -…
For those unfamiliar, the rumor is that Ferrari was somehow detecting the sample rate of the fuel flow sensor (which is a black-box provided by FIA and standard across all the cars), and increasing the flow rate only…

Yes. The code you're running is described as having "random sleeps added to “fix” race conditions, validation functions that just returned true, catastrophic cryptographic vulnerabilities, whole parts of the protocol…
Or just some annoyed passengers with a roll of toilet paper? https://imgur.com/gallery/0b4wF3V
Harder by orders of magnitude: https://jacquesmattheij.com/sorting-two-metric-tons-of-lego/
There are other ways, but why are they better? He says it out loud, other people can chime in and improve the idea, the Thai gov't sees it without him having to work his way up through a bureaucracy to find someone who…

This is exactly what an ad network is
It does not work OK at all. Try being in any dense area such as an urban apartment building. There are 30 networks I can see on all 11 wifi channels. Its totally unusable.
React has a non-open license: https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/master/PATENTS, which basically says that an organization can no longer use React once it sues Facebook for any (unrelated) patent infringement. This…
