I think people imply too much evil-intent with funding rather than understanding the mechanics of it. If you take money from an investor you have an obligation to them to make a return on that money in a finite time frame. The VC has LPs

"the government" isn't really a single entity. domestic LE and foreign intelligence have different laws and processes enforced by the constitution (thankfully). Its certainly reasonable that domestic LE really can't for

The "mission" terminology is common in the NGO world and not everyone is hired as a "coder". Quite frequently these are projects to effect outcomes rather than support billets to be filled by coders. There is a wide sp

It sounds like we overlapped in a few locations and missions ;-) One thing I would add to your list is extra USB drives with lotsa storage (>256GB), and at least one with a hardware write-protect switch (like the Kanguru ones). Collect

Thanks for pointing this out! I wasn't aware of SoftIron. I think its a big deal that there are two vendors on this path. And both seem to be doing it the right way. I think it makes the whole, stronger than the sum.

That is a rare combination skillset. And awesome for the company that needs it.

It's all OK if you frame it as a "privelage" the government is gracious enough to bestow.. then of course it's not censorship!

I'm in the same boat as you. Tried ergo keyboard once and it was really awkward for me.

Sounds like a great professor. "Think about what you are doing" is probably good advice for any discipline.

What I worked on was more of a community of interest brainstorming conference where all the participants had an interest in seeing a good outcome of a DARPA program. You could call it "free ideas" but everyone knew that going in

I participated in a DARPA brainstorming conference a number of years back. It was not paid, but a fun experience. So in addition to bidding on contract topics they propose, you can get invited onto working committees or symposiums and suc

My solution to that was simply to add this model as an optional output transformer: https://steganography.live/info

This is good if your threat model doesn't include the phone itself. I built something simliar to this as an external hardware implementation a few years back to deal with the phone itself being rooted: https://www.anomie.te

So much this.. Although I know the frustration and desire for change from those still in uniform is very real, sadly its congress and the beltway bandits that actually get to dictate policies and programs..

for passive sniffing, it looks like you can run the cheaper module at only $2k, which is approachable for researchers.. actually fully loaded price tag is $11k or $4k as you need GPSDO also.. but $4k is almost approachable I guess.. [edit

If it was possible to drive a touch interface and SPI display of that size from an MCU of that size/speed and still be responsive. I have only driven them from Pi Zeros, PocketBeagles and other much larger/faster systems, and stil

I suspect sanctions and international finance laws are a bit more complex than that. It could be that a US legal entity that is fronting for a sanctioned country can indeed be blocked from receiving money, but you'd have to get a quor

The actual source of Flipper is a Russian company. Forming a shell company in the US doesn't change that. Sadly the Flipper team is a casualty of Putins ambitions, because they seem a good team of hackers that did a good job with thei

This seems like a good fit, but I'd echo some other requests on here for yearly plan (hate monthly), and playlists. I personally am fine with the barebones aesthetic but you may want to do a bit more for general marketability. Good jo

I don't think it's so much dealing with resource constraints that made it more exciting, but the fact that you were often originating things, rather than (haphazardly) stitching together exisiting, known works of others. It'

This is a very good take on the topic, and makes a key point: "people expect one blanket and grand explanation for the entire UFO mystery to one day emerge. This is flawed thinking at its core. This issue is clearly one with multiple

I've gone back and forth on using external resistors for I2C and have read a lot of conflicting views on it. I think this is another to add to the pile, but I'm leaning towards putting them on PCB designs by default now..
