Yeah sign me up for being annoying at this. Several times I'm just like: "why the hell can't I just pay for this thing up front and know what I'm spending." Then there's also both Google Cloud, AWS, etc not let

I'd personally ditch the monitors and go with (however many) "pocket projectors" then just project them onto a wall or something. Some of these projectors screw into light bulb sockets so you don't even need to worry abo

To best honest I don't see the point of this. I tried Pioneer and all the updates people wrote were vanity updates designed to look impressive and impossible to validate. I used the platform for a while with the hope of perhaps winning

Work on your math skills. Math is at the heart of everything, and the more techniques you know- the more tools you'll have in your arsenal to build and invent cool things. Practically there are many business reasons why you would want

Nice idea OP, and the design seems very friendly and welcoming. I would only say one thing (and IDK how this is going to go down): but IMO, it makes more sense to me to discourage men from posting completely - and I say that as a guy myself

It's scarier the more you think about it because digital sigs are the first place you look for most "secure protocols." I think reading between the lines there are multiple attack scenarios: - Fake windows updates - The notor

None of these links describe how the exploit works. I found this: https://media.defense.gov/2020/Jan/14/2002234275/-1/-1/0/CSA... So based on my limited understanding: 1. The certificates

Man, security research is seriously elite. It's like a mixture of arcane magic, invention, and treasure hunting. I wonder how much time it takes to find vulns like this.

You spend the whole comment putting down the author for making mistakes and then try to make it look like you're retracting this by putting a positive spin on it towards the end. Not because you especially care, but because you don

My first thought is that literally billions of people already do something similar every day. They use a card that runs its own small, programmable computer, that is portable, energy efficient, and can be powered 'wirelessly.' It&

From the whitepaper: "Kong notes do not use a secure element that allows for general programmability." Looks like they thought this through more than a typical drive-by 'blockchain' project. With a limited secure circuit

Wow, they managed to build a Google competitor that doesn't suck. This is actually pretty crazy. I never thought there would be new innovation in the search space. I'll be using this from now on.

Maybe this is not the answer you're looking for: but I think CRISPR-Cas9 seems like the most exciting technology probably in all of science. It's a system that can be used to literally change the DNA of living creatures, and on to

That's a hard yikes from me. Be careful before posting a reply to this one... There are many subjects that will naturally devolve into a witch hunt if you go even slightly off script... even if you're just playing devils advocate.
