Of these, I'm pretty sure VLC is the most common software on end-user systems - and there are enough security advisories where a well-crafted video file can execute code with user privileges (like https://www.videolan.org&#x

Learn how to invest - it seems to be relatively simple (especially if you're a news nerd like most peple here) but emotionally deceptive. Not many people in Australia are doing it (past their regular Super/401k-equivalent). I&#x

It would be interesting to see how this works out over time - perhaps the 'worse' female CEOs bring in their entire networks, which will over time widen the pool of potential candidates, which over time will bring in better candid

Me too indeed - I thought the first name was Arthur. That still makes the article interesting, as there's a tower of similar stories from women, very few from men.

The general trend that goes upward in your graph isn't the number of butterflies, but the number of 'sites monitored', i.e., places where they searched for butterflies. In the time that monitored sites went from ~400,000 to ~

Not knowing much about node.js, wouldn't the most logical step now to make a standard node.js library that implements the majority of the functions of those ~400 packages? Vetting one package is easier than vetting 400. I guess that&#x
