Given the pace and pressure of everything they've been through and everything they're about to go through again, I'd say six weeks sounds about right.

Title could still be better than it is, I think. Original title is much better. Things like attribution can be done fine in the comments if that's not in the title. Furthermore, Project Zero was involved in only one of the CVEs anywa

So it's actually legitimately feasible for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to find a home in an abandoned subway station. I had always wondered why on earth there would be abandoned subway stations. The free working electricity may

This is a good point. I had thought that my high school grades were extremely high stakes, even though they weren't. Of course, now I know how silly I was. If the stakes weren't so high, I wonder if I would have been more tempt

Mining bitcoin in Iceland hasn't stopped bitcoin mining in China with coal though, has it? So what does that matter?

Compare to a city with great transit, then you know. I used to think that Vancouver transit was great. Then I started working in Shenzhen. Shenzhen and Hong Kong are awesome at public transit, Vancouver sucks. Part of the problem is tha

I'm thinking of something similar. Very curious if you would provide updates on your final decision. I understand the basic advantages of incorporating (lower tax rate and limited personal liability if things go poorly). Curious wha
