Well, it doesn't have to be HTTP but you do need some sort of server low in the hardware to control the machine remotely. Such things have existed for many years in servers, now Intel integrates them in chipsets for corporate PCs too.

Who is AMT? I thought AMT is just Intel's marketing name for certain remote management features. Also, I'm under impression that [6] refers not only to firmware blobs running on various auxiliary coprocessors but also the machine&

Immediately after nakedness it mentions she was wearing something . Not 100% sure but I'm under impression that there are ways in the US to legally take down any CP. I haven't yet seen a single semi-legit website which allows it,

Possibly to protect the "neutrality and freedom of speech" argument - it's 3rd party content, we only publish, it doesn't contain actual nudity so CP laws don't apply, go ask the poster to take it down, we can'

True, but there's one catch: backpage allegedly edited ads to hide signs that they involve children. If this is proven, all their claims of neutrality should go out the window.

Backpage is not only child traffickers though, I've heard that it's used by lots of American prostitutes too (prostitution being illegal in the US, though). Which is why you have comments like https://news.ycombinator.c

I'm glad that you liked "weaponized linguistics". I don't have any problem accepting "sex worker". I think it's a fine and intuitive way to describe somebody doing, well, sex-related work. I only don'

It also is "unpredictable" what happens when you overrun a stack frame. There is zero guarantee that the infamous Sufficiently Sophisticated Attacker couldn't predict it. Hardware is largely deterministic, even when it doesn&

TFA says clang actually uses an encoding of AND which operates on RAX but takes only 32b of constant so it is pretty much the solution you propose. And BTW, operating directly on EAX itself fucks up the upper half of RAX.

I disagree with "ambiguous", you sneakily changed "obvious" to "obviously" in the second sentence. obvious, correct != obviously correct

It might be Ruhycon. Or maybe recycled, note the short legs. Part of this e-waste you are now obliged to dispose of "responsibly" lands on dump sites in Asia or Africa. Some of that ends up harvested for parts.

Yeah, weaponized linguistics. The problem is, as any weapon, it can backfire. General public doesn't give a rat's ass about jargon churned out by all those activists. And I'm absolutely not singling out sex workers here, SJWs

Agree about strippers etc, but to me "sex worker" sounds like something that could equally well be voluntary or coerced, just like any other worker. Wikipedia article on gulags refers to prisoners as "workers" several ti
