I think the main takeaway here is that in many cases wrt crypto, it is highly ambiguous on whether the actions you take are criminal or not.

At most you are going to make a few thousand, maybe if you're super lucky and skilled, a few tens of thousands of dollars on bug bounties. Compared to the amount of poorly-secured money that was/is in crypto, it is a pittance. Ad

Depends how much they're selling it for, support contracts, etc. With the right combination of those, 2MM copies could be amazing.

It is in the article: Finally, because air humidity diffuses in three-dimensional space and the thickness of the Air-gen device is only a fraction of the width of a human hair, many thousands of them can be stacked on top of each other, ef

I have been consistently amazed by Lukas Pope's creativity, drive and technical prowess, he truly is a rare person.

It is bizarre to see people rediscovering the same stuff that we were doing during the early days of the dynamic web and the web application (probably circa 2000-2003 ish?) with partial rendering via API endpoints. What is old is new again

Ah yes, 13 year old information. Maybe it was true then, it is not now. Cutts had a known pattern of denying anything and everything about their ranking data until cornered (see his video with Harry Shum of Bing when they caught Bing stea

They haven't said it, but they absolutely do it, or at least did about 7-8 years ago. Source: used to chat with Google search engineers about web spam back in the day at conferences.

There is a great story of perseverance and patience in this thread, the person keeping the bug thread alive is truly doing the gods' work.

Why is this so strangely relaxing? What an amazing idea.

I mean this is a clever hack, but it is not a Google vulnerability per se, it is a vulnerability in a public open source tool chain that they use, i.e. pip. It is working more or less exactly as it should, the employees in question are just

The issue discussed in the article is that the NY Port Authority has regulations to clamp the prices of these items to comparable items in NYC (based on the average of the 3 lowest cost comparables), and they are not being transparent on wh

Privatized health care as a person's sole option for care is an absolute dystopian nightmare. Any system that requires balancing human suffering against profitability is inevitably going to optimize for profitability. The fact that th

How the hell is there an RCE in ICMP in 2023? I remember exploiting fragmented ICMP packets on Windows 95 in like 1996 to blue-screen people using the IcEbx extension for the BitchX IRC client, I think the exploit was called sping maybe? T

A bunch of my former co-workers at MSFT are working from home 100% of the time. Maybe it is a per organization thing.

Pro tip: if you think you will need to profile/trace any natively compiled code at runtime (e.g. some kind of long running service in production) then for the love of god, please don't enable "omit frame pointer" - it ca

I am a game dev, so work in Windows for the majority of my time. I wanted something that would show the current working directory of my windows terminal in the title bar of the window so I could see which one was which on the taskbar and d

You can modify Unreal Engine as much as you like to ship a game and the engine changes remain your property, you just have to pay their royalties. At least that is how it is in practice - the language in the license agreement is actually a

It is certainly doable, there is a plug-in on the UE marketplace that meaningfully extends Unreal's movement replication to do nicer interpolation and extrapolation of movement, it is called SmoothSync. We used it in lieu of UE's

That looks like someone scanning for vulnerabilities in things like outdated/misconfigured WordPress.

This looks cool, but hopefully does not run afoul of Tableau's (and now Salesforce's) many patents in that space. IIRC part of the reason certain features couldn't make it into Microsoft's PowerBI was because of those.

Ahhh, so perhaps the position indicates the frequency and the brightness indicates the magnitude of the frequency? That makes sense - in that case the atricle's approach feels more like you said, a manually applied band pass or comb f

It has been a long time since I have done anything in this domain (20+ years), but if I understand correctly, the original article author is essentially filtering out high frequency signals by painting over the bright FFT spots, essentially

Seems reasonable, it is hopefully on track to head towards something closer resembling its actual value.

Repositories for games are often larger than 1TB, and with things like UE5's Nanite becoming more viable, they're only going to get bigger.

Perhaps that is because they run out of money and can't keep throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks?
