   There's millions of radial turbines in cars around the world today. They use an internal-combustion engine for their combustor, and they're called turbo-chargers.

   It's not the use of electric control that scares me, it's the inherently complicated control system. A primarminarily mechanical and hydraulic system just plain has less things that can go wrong. Maybe I'm just biased, but I

   I love the One wheel, but it's a trip that the design is inherently dangerous in edge states (over max power output or regen braking with a full battery)

   I should add, Los Alamos National Labs has a great set of engineering drawing examples: https://engstandards.lanl.gov/Dwgs_Details.shtml

   One thing to consider is that there's a whole world of 8, 16, and 32-bit microcontrollers out there being used in new products every day. They are all readily programmable in assembly language, and if you have the basics down then the

   I'm very curious about the jump obfuscation. Maybe somebody who's done more reverse-engineering can answer this for me: a) Are unconditional jumps common enough that they couldn't be filtered out with some set of pre-con

    I can only speak for myself, but... It's not the concept of advertising I'm against. It's the data collection that could easily be used for nefarious purposes. We can look at history in the last 100 years to find many examp

    Fooling device fingerprinting would be wonderful, but could never provide 100% cover against tracking, since any site you log into has has a user identity that can be tracked using your email or phone number. Maybe we could break this into

    I've thought about this, and I'm almost certain I've seen some basic tools to do similar. Call it "semantic chaffing". Maybe one example could be for every search query you make three random queries are generated.
