I think that kind of policy would have a bad effect on YouTube usage. Not everyone uses it to upload videos that they want to go viral or get lots of hits. Plenty of users are storing videos on there that are just for family and friends. Th

I doubt these kind of users cost YouTube all that much. What I guess they are worried about are people who upload controversial videos who then run adverts alongside them, and those advertisers get very upset about the content that they are

Option (2) has already happened. Tether got hacked and someone issued/transferred lots of coins to themselves. In response, the whole omni network was upgraded to blacklist these stolen coins!

Our old mechanism was a parent process that created the listen sockets, and then sent the FDs to the previously-created child processes. (The children would be registering their FDs with epoll and then calling accept() themselves) That neve

The author is pretty inconsistent here. They make good points when mentioning all the problems with benchmarking and how it's a bad idea to fixate on a specific, narrow problem - but then, go on to complain about specific, narrow probl

I think my confusion is around the article's 'frames' and your use of a FFT 'window' - again, what size should be used for the frame/window? If you have just two samples of audio at 40khz, I understand that the

What is a 'frame' in terms of PCM audio? If the raw data is just measures of amplitude at a set frequency, don't you have to pick an arbitrary time slice to examine (and so risk losing lower-frequency sounds)?

Presumably if they built the game with address space layout randomisation then the ROP would be defeated?

Why do you think there’s an agenda? The article talks about returning the stolen letters to their owners, so it’s not like the police are unwilling to repatriate stolen goods. Perhaps these artworks in their store have unknown owners or the

'less -R' is useful because it will honour colour control codes while escaping other ones (like title changes, terminal bell, etc)

It's probably the best way to secure them - but I think that defeats the spirit of the 'connected to the internet' part of this uptime security challenge :)

If it's doing TCP then there's a whole network stack to attack. I bet there's a big range of embedded systems that can be crashed because they have a simplistic cut-down, non-hardened TCP/IP/Ethernet implementation

I know that feeling. I've got an old mac mini in a remote server room, with limited on-site access. It's been up for 2.5 years, going through various ubuntu releases and upgrades. I'm afraid to reboot it because it initially

No real reason, just that they potentially give you unlimited uptime. I know that's a good thing, just not for this particular silly challenge :) Although, in-place upgrades haven't been around all that long in the grand scheme

Linux was just an example, in fact I'd guess that there's probably a lot of BSD variants out there with ridiculous uptimes. I think the 'allows user access' bit is the thing that would limit safe uptimes the most, since

In-place kernel upgrades are cheating wrt uptime :)

I wonder what the 'safest' uptime possible is today, for a computer connected to the internet? e.g. what's the oldest linux kernel that has no known remote attacks (not just remote exploits but DOS weaknesses too) ? To make i

Perhaps you could quote the relevant part that shows that this is more than just an opinion of the writer? Given that it is a fundamental theme of the original article (encryption effectively banned), why doesn't the author provide th
