Shiet, I used to drive a manual 5L Mustang in the depth of the Edmonton winter. There was definitely one hill going into the city where if the traffic stopped (due to there being a pedestrian crossing right at the top for some reason) it wa

Yeah some devices support PAC use that feature to sign return pointers. But not everyone uses it (even when available), and there exist methods to bypass PAC— from attacking the micro architecture to finding signing oracles.

If the same operator also jammed the valve open with a wrench, then ignored the flow meter as it rung up by saying “the leak is transitory”, then yea.

Ah yes, I read this one right after having played Universal Paperclips -- which if I'm not mistaken was inspired by it.

There is literally a trillion dollars too much in cash in banks right now. All of that money just sits in reverse-repo with the Fed. So I don’t know how you’re claiming that banks aren’t sitting on too much cash?

Then why is it so damn expensive. Honestly one of the reasons I can’t wait to own a house is to purchase enough solar panels and batteries to give a huge middle finger to PG&E and go off-grid

It’s not piracy if Congress issues a letter of marquee, a power specifically enshrined in section 8 of article 1 of the Constitution.

I waffled on my response to this piece, or rather if it even deserved one. First of all, you are not disappeared -- just by the mere fact of you being able to post this. Want to give it a go and redeem yourself? Try writing some anti-war st

Yeah this entitlement says your application is still “in-development” and allows a debugger to modify its executable memory.

The only entitlement that is relevant here is get-task-allow. But that would allow anyone to get a control task port for your application and do with it as they may. This functionality was not designed to be used in production — except for

Why not simply use MAP_JIT? There is no need to do these weird tricks, plus you’re putting your process and the rest of the system at risk by elevating privilege and using task-for-pid.

The UK guaranteed the independence of Poland with an agreement that in language is the same as the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances. The West is refusing to fulfill its current obligations under the spirit of that agreement, the s

Given your attitude you would have said the same thing about Poland, Sudetenland or when Austria invaded Serbia.

Once they start invading (erghm I mean performing special operations) other countries, sure. Add China to that list as well. I asked my relatives to show me outside and it certainly does look like WW3 in Kyiv and Kharkiv.

by pmalynin 5y ago
We need to get rid of the illusion that WW3 isn’t happening already. I would rather die standing up for my freedom so that me, my family, my children — you — can live in a free world with no warmongering dictators, than cower and live in fe

I think I would know better about what my people are going through and what happened do them during Soviet Rule. They already did one genocide through Holodomor, so yes my people are being exterminated thanks for your expert opinion.

If a country doesn’t want to operate within the confines of international law, does not honor international agreements, does not honor its word and commits war crimes — then the word “immoral” does not apply to any action taken to punish an

No, its not insane for them to do this -- in fact the opposite. Every person has to make the decision for themselves in the end, this goes all the way to presidents and political leaders. You will either stand by, profit and watch, as a neo

We’ll it’s interesting in this case, because technically speaking a peace treaty was never signed and North Korea is in the state of war with the United States. So is it really a crime to attack a hostile state?
