The phone thing has veered into outright fraud. Twitter just paid a $150,000,000 fine to the (US) FTC for letting advertisers match on telephone numbers provided for 2FA. I am really tired of people selling my burner phone to the credit peo

Best bank phishing site I ever saw was hosted by the bank itself. Whatever CMS they were using allowed GET URLs which specified the contents of an iframe.

Might not be as efficient, but it probably isn't going to stop on the highway with a load of chickens in the beating sun because the diesel was contaminated (at least not right away). You might not be able to brick your combine if some

I brew. I've known a lot of weird fanatics. A friend who also brews and is serious enough to do meditation retreats has gotten into a thing where he's making beer harvested with wild yeast in turn harvested from ginger root... som

Ummm. Interesting about mailoji. Not actually legit according to ICANN to use "non collating" punycode or multiple languages in an ICANN-controlled domain: you can't register them. But, it's a CC TLD, in fact it's .

Our minds generally don't work well on repetitive tasks requiring high concentration with low interactivity. Yet, we're so irrational we can't see the obvious. Take a "self driving car". Except... you can't rea

Additionally scapy is GPL and dpkt is more permissive. They both make mistakes, it can be illuminating to try both side by side. Scapy is more forgiving. dpkt is more performant.

I seldom use debuggers in the stereotypical way anymore. About the only time I use them is when I'm stepping through the code with some other person. Dynamic instrumentation is key to things that don't scale naively, and surprisin

There's a funny thing about cellphone modulation: makes it hard to locate a device. Cell phones need GPS so they can give their location to the eNBs (towers) so that the best tower can be selected, the towers can't do it on their

Maybe the null hypothesis needs to be that older people have more experience of "random" and therefore expect or tolerate more variance before rejecting "chance". But they say that the effect is relatively small, or that

Is there a null hypothesis that some other mechanism has a higher probability of producing that sequence?

by m3047 4y ago
We disagree on the definition (or divination) of "dice" and "sequence" and "roll". The sequence length of a single die roll is 1. The probability of any particular roll is the same. Let's do the next part

I actually had an engineering ask from somebody to produce "random sequences" which turned out to be anything but random. Short version: letter sequences, no repeats in a sequence or in adjacent sequences. Took months and a lot of

What started the original thread was "postfix" "failing" security tests because it was installed in a Docker image running Alpine. Insecure! Why? OMG all these people, all this effort. Felker?

Thanks for the downvotes. This guy literally advocates that we don't follow "secure", so fuck everything over.

Yeah, I think so and we're probably in the minority here. There are a couple of other comments referring to regression to the mean and that the article takes a literalist view which is perhaps unwarranted. You win the followup comment.
