Your attitude is so amazingly fear based - fuck that sauce. What makes you think I'm actually messing with big corps? I'm not. I disclosed the issue properly and safely. I have a good lawyer who would step in to help if something

Yeah, I can attest to that. Found a github page with ssh keys, home directories, infrastructure scripts, configs, etc for Comcast that could've been used to do just about anything within their infrastructure. I raised the issue as ethi

The units have GPS in them. The number of possible streets near them is pretty small, so an autocomplete or similar might work really well. Or just a dropdown.

Well, more it would emphasize (and pretty much require) a better organized system. The lack of emphasis on proper addressing from everyone makes life pretty hard. :)

Within Arches National Park, my GPS told me to turn left to get back on the main stretch of road towards vegas (we were in a hurry and the park seemed like a good idea at the time). It sent us on a route meant for 4x4 offroading.. in my 4 c

After working with address data for the past year or so, my answer is yes please . Address data is so incredibly difficult to work with and it's pretty clear that it's difficult for everyone involved. Census data is incorrect, OS

I might go that route, honestly. I've done a few security disclosures recently as myself and doing so has been giving me a vibe that I'm not a fan of. Same with a lot of the FOIA calls I need to make. Having a burner phone might

Not to mention that it's incredibly inconvenient if you don't carry a phone, or if you lost it. I tried to signup for airbnb this weekend while traveling, but wasn't even able to go through the verification process without

I use awk and sed (with tr/sort/uniq doing some heavy lifting) for most of my data analysis work. It's a really great way to play around with data to get a feel for it before formalizing it in a different language. For an int

So, prod beta testing? ;)

Simple and useful. I love it.

Heh. I got off the phone yesterday with Comcast's CISO after a security vulnerability disclosure discussion and the subject of bug bounties came up. She ranted about how much she loved the idea of open source and community, but it was

My ex did the same thing and it's pretty shitty, but it still deserves serious attention. The best route is to call the cops and ensure they get proper medical attention if nothing else for a strong jolt to reality. I don't think

Because mental health issues can cause rationalizations to stack one on top of the other. It sucks, but it would explain it. (I'm not actually claiming that's what's actually going on, for what it's worth. Just that the

Odd note - his page just turned from a jpeg to use actual text. So, uh. yay, I suppose.

Why not handle the the thing that seems to be pretty pressing right now instead? Reputation can wait until someone can confirm one thing or another. It's just kind of calloused otherwise and I'm sure someone whose reputation on th

I don't think you understood my point. I'm saying that it's possible to be far more intellectually stimulated in ways that will help you in life and your career that doesn't require homework. There's a middle groun

Yeah, but it still sounds like a legitimate suicide note and some semblance of worry makes sense.. I understand the desire fore fairness, but this was just posted without much followup context. Have a bit of heart for a second. If this

When I was failing classes for not doing homework, I was enjoying the company of other nerds from all over the world on IRC and learning to code by writing (awful) mIRC scripts instead. Pretty sure there's room for some middle ground

I still can't help but hate the teacher who gave the honor's class an enormous mythology book over the summer and gave it less worth to our grade than a ten minute grammar assignment. Camel's back, etc, I failed the class, go

Don't think so (first link that seemed to make some sense) - http://ftp.riken.jp/Linux/cern/scl/slc6-scl.repo Funny - I actually just spent the past week visiting one of the original scientific linux guy

I'm a sysadmin who uses python27, centos and rhel on a daily basis and I've never personally installed it - simply for not knowing anything about it, nor has anybody asked me to install it. The name rings a slight bell, but it do

Well, there was rim fire and there was centerfire. The only reason I know that is because the rim fire rifles couldn't be dry fired. Specifically, I was shooting anschutz rifles (at a busy train station or else I'd google it :p.)

I wouldn't doubt it, but it's hard to get back in contact with most of them to confirm. . There was a research paper about an Alaskan rifle team which talks about short term lead poisoning effects, though. I'd imagine they s

Again, they were pellets. In an air rifle. ;)

I only see one reference to /proc in here, which is kinda lame. As a sysadmin who's frustrated with some inflexibilties of lots of commands to the point of iterating through it fairly regularly (and know others like that, too), it

Yep, but on top of that, less "throw some shit at it and see if it sticks" sort of treatment.

by bpchaps 10y ago
Even though they were center fire, they were .177 lead pellets and I doubt they have that. I'll check it out, though. I actually have had blood tests and nothing came from it. They're not very useful years after the fact.
569.
by bpchaps 10y ago
Blood tests are useless after a certain point, as far as I know. The tests for neurological effects are a bit more complicated and require bone biopsies. Been a while since I've looked into it, so I might be wrong.

Lead poisoning is especially strange. I'm convinced that I have it, in contrast to the bipolar diagnosis I've been given. I used to do competitive shooting where I'd practice five days out of the week and compete on average o
