I believe it was near or in water, but not buried from what I recall of Fenn's comments about its location (he said it was 'wet'). He said the location he chose reminded him of a plateaued area with a waterfall that he found

I always figured it was somewhere near Agua Caliente Canyon, NM. Largely because it was in the right elevation, had the types of brush Fenn said he could smell there (which he later said he wish he had not commented on), was within a range

One of my family members worked for Star Theory during this time, and turned down job offers from Take Two in favor of loyalty, but it ended up biting them in the ass unfortunately. They did end up with a great job elsewhere, but still sad

This is the "Mary's Room" thought experiment which explores the nature of qualia. - The CPU analogy is a nice one though!

there was a young man who said "though it seems that I know that I know, what I'd like to see is the 'I' that knows me, when I know that I know that I know."

Using sudo in the exec() isn't really a problem, since any RCE an attacker would get will have the same privileges as the pihole service...they could just use sudo in their RCE if the user is in sudousers (assuming they could even use

The problem here is it is a cat and mouse game. Software algorithms that can detect deep fakes can also be used to patch detectable flaws in deep fakes to evade detection, at least until new detection approaches get better but the cycle rep

My siblings are 10+ years younger than me, and have very little technical savvy, despite holding advanced hard science degrees, whereas such things are of my profession. I think part of the difference was growing up in an era where I could

I just saw Runa speak at kawaiicon (kiwicon) in New Zealand, giving the keynote speech, and it was quite evident she not only knew what she was doing but applied it skillfully in the context of an internationally investigative journal. They

Maybe OP is talking about IPNS? Which is unfortunately quite slow... I had to fuss with my TXT entries in DNS a bit to speed things up to an acceptable level (and reference the site via IPFS instead of IPNS)

Would have been fun to see this tree in the film Midsommar, but it would have been terrible if it was damaged somehow (film makers aren't always they best at keeping nature intact, just look at the Maltese beach ecosystem which was des

It doesn't look like the cop should have been able to pull the car over anyway, that looks like private property, not a public street or intersection, and that stop sign is not put up by the city but by the owners of the property (note

I love these kinds of projects, and jumped on the pixelstick kickstarter several years ago when it released. Here is one of my favorite images from messing around with it https://imgur.com/e4UWiqz

I remember at DefCon 20 Gen. Keith Alexander, the head of the NSA at the time, gave the keynote speech (largely about how we all share the same internet space so we should work together to keep things good for everyone) and the NSA had a re

I suspect it has to do with the same facilities that evoke magical thinking, and other pattern-event associative behavior. And like those pigeons in the famous experiment which were fed randomly and evolved various ritual-like behavior in a

Sure, discursive thinking is useful, but doing it as an unconscious habit is problematic. That's what meditation seeks to help address, for example, and cease the endless 'chatter in your skull'. Like, when you're thirst

Uhg, this drives me nuts. Apparently I'm not allowed to play Sepiko: Shadows Die Twice while traveling outside of the country. A VPN can temporarily get things going again, or staying in Offline mode, but what a pain in the ass...

Really, if you're producing something that is reliably accurate, I would expect that would be all anyone would expect, along with proper training, verified updates, and audited software/firmware, etc. In the case I cited above it

I admire what you're doing, and hope you can adhere to scientific integrity while developing and selling your product, but that simply isn't true. At least in Washington state. A few years ago Washington State purchased a whole bu

Unfortunately it is never that simple. Even if you have thing well plugged on your end, other software /services that interact may provide a path. I recall one instance a few years ago where a hacker chained password recovery services

Take the OSCP course, that would get you some good practical exposure and a well-recognized cert. Having a software engineering background you'd be well positioned to do code auditing too, if that was your bag. If you really want to ma

Right, the software does the job not the hardware. I was just trying to point out that the Raspberry Pi was blankedly verboten.

Oh of course, software is software, I just mean when a Raspberry Pi was mentioned that it has a distinct stigma.

Unfortunately there already is. When I interviewed for a job in Antarctica we had discussed methods of saving on bandwidth usage and I suggested the use of a PiHole to strip out ads to save precious KB and was told that the Raspberry Pi was

I met a guy who said he lived in Shenzhen a while, and said that J-walking would get you an automatic deduction from your wechat pay account, assuming you were in front of a camera.
