What purpose does the phrase "geographically distant" serve here? Seriously, why include that? Because, for one thing, while this site was started by an american, in america, its absolutely read all over the world, and two, HIV r

this is....false. The "big driver of it" is state and federal subsidy, period. And as far as the zoning goes, that is a much much grayer picture than painted by this comment. For example, in the county I live, you couldn&#x27

If you're interested in this, you should probably check out some of the reporting over the political battles this very year over wind subsidies and the intraparty disputes among republicans in the state lege.

Going to push back on this. Lisp is written to be "flexed". And people can and should write it however they want. I think treating students like they're all incapable of googling is utterly infantilizing and nothing about

I was actually being sarcastic, I think this is a really bad idea. Sorry man, I see that you're one of the cofounders, I just don't believe this is will help the situation at all. Fwiw I lived for several months in SF, in the tend

no, its just an absolutely bonkers thread. The idea that Huwawei is some kind of shocking threat that needs to be fought because chinese spooks work there is embarrassing. American spooks and ex-spooks dominate in US communications techno

but his point is that we're not talking about individuals. The article breathlessly goes on about foreign states, you know the bad ones , who have used this to attack all over the world. Except as tptacek points out, these states can

lol, fighting to keep out "toxic people" who "want to focus on politics" means you hire people cool with making weapons of war. I for one am glad the person who asked you that did so, because I do not work for defense

if you're interested in lifters, this research is a pretty eye opening peek into the guts of several, and how one goes about actually testing their accuracy https://softsec.kaist.ac.kr/~soomink/paper/ase17main

Yeah, this is it. Security firms specializing in static/dynamic analysis are going to be using this stuff. Vulnerability hunting, things like that.

I mean, my comment was pretty straight forward as to the relation? The book has full, detailed code listings and provides a vm with runnable code, you end the book building an automatic exploitation engine for a C++ program, so it does cov

This is a solid paper if you want to learn something about SymbEx. If it really interests you and you want something more tutorial oriented, pick up a copy of Practical Binary Analysis, out recently from nostarch. The last chapters are

the idea that this stuff is going to be primarily used for disabled people is, frankly, bullshit. Maybe the grant writing process, and some of the research, but this will be commodified, indeed, things like this already are; check out the

the idea that prefix notation is some kind of serious hold up for anyone thats mastered, or is even semi-competent at the kind of mathematics you would use this for is so strange to me. Programming and math are (almost) nothing if not the
