So that's 74,000 assaults against a population of 1,328,000[1]. So about 5.57% of the armed forces were assaulted sexually in one year. But the United States as a whole had a reported ≈325k[2] sexual assaults in 2021. That's 0.09%

As mentioned, the SMTP protocol only allows for 1000 bytes of data per line. The author also mentions that they are sending html emails, which ignore line breaks. So a message intended to be sent by an SMTP client: DATA Hello customer,<b

Some people lack an ear for accents, especially if they're subtle. Personally, my ear is so bad that I get Brazilian accents mixed with Eastern European accents; and west African accents mixed with Carribean accents.

I stopped reading when he criticized Google's "Don't be evil" motto as a corporate say-nothing. Yes it's a truism, but I'd argue that it was chosen because software engineers value simplicity and conciseness.

Hold on, I've heard of the replication crisis - though I don't know the scale - but are you saying that over 50% of "hard science" is bunk? I find that hard to swallow.

The paper was very careful to describe the mass increase of Cuban immigrants as "immigration shock", not just immigration. I don't think the conclusions of this paper can say any one thing about the effects of our (I'm a

There's still no way for TikTok, or any app, to determine your password hash, so even if they test for validity (by conforming to OS pin restrictions), how would they test for veracity (being given the user's ACTUAL) passcode.

I wish the article put more emphasis onto the facg that TikTok was requesting the password through a system prompt. They don't have anyone's passwords, just a conformation from the device that the correct password was inputted. Th

How you could have enough control over the machine to reroute the error log to (what I assume was) a Pastebin api, while also lacking access to any of the files on the machine? In my mind you'd be required to ssh into the machine to up

It sounds like the issue is that these service providers are obeying Google's aliasing rules, but also ignoring the fact that you shouldn't be using email as a primary identifier [1]? It's funny, if they had adhered to the sp

Really, this sounds believable. How often does the average programmer use anything beyond arithmetic? I'm only a few years out of school, but I'm re-learning calculus since I haven't touched it once since college.

To find the two’s complement of 5, we invert all the bits (changing 0s to 1s and 1s to 0s) and then add one to the result. I am embarrassed by the fact that I wasn't aware of this. I always interpreted the two's complement
