OS network filtering APIs don’t work that way and another unrelated and unimportant Microsoft team can’t override it

Really liked the aesthetics of Aegis Ashore, they simply pulled a part of the ship and placed it on land. It’s something I imagine a software engineer would do

Could be, although Vietnam was fundamentally different than North Korea. Even if you compare Korea to Vietnam, it is highly unlikely the economic situation had been similar to South Korea. Anyway this is all alternate history, just as the d

This only looks at failures as it is very hard to attribute success in such cases. For example you list North Korea as a failure, but American involvement there is the only reason why South Korea exists and we don’t have one giant North Kor

What you're describing is true for the absolute majority of the US population. We're living in a capitalist system which restricts access to resources to different people. Consider this, how much of the world population has access

Yes that is correct but that is of course correct for any higher education school be it Ivy League or not. Even public school education is restricted to some by economic situation and the quality is highly variable across locations. By that

Legacy candidates might be some kind of privilege, however that does not exist in most schools and is only something that got you there. There is no privilege in graduating from higher education where people don’t cheat, as this is not as i

Edit: Read minority instead of minor My point being is that barring any proof of cheating, merely graduating from an elite university does indicate some level of competence. It requires some very hard work which in STEM not just anyone coul

I didn’t really follow these, does that mean that graduating a CS degree in Harvard does not indicate some kind of ability and perseverance? Is it completely rigged so I can safely assume that Harvard CS in a CV is a bad signal?

Just something I am curious about, privilege tends to mean an unfair advantage given to a group if I get it right. So how is an Ivy League education a privilege? Doesn’t it require a lot of hard work to get into or finish such school? Isn’t

He probably meant the PLO that moved from Jordan to Lebanon after failing to make Jordan the failed state it has made Lebanon

Since when are the PLO considered an Islamist movement?

the registry needs to be read by device drivers including the drivers for tcp and nics, including during very early boot. this would make HTTP a challenge. Also implementing a json parser in the kernel sounds like a bad idea

In a corporate environment you do have an investigation department that enforces such language. However, my point is that in a totalitarian environment people treated you as a pariah for non conforming, as they would not want to face a simi

Stalinism might had a top down approach to ideology, but what would get you in a gulag is the people around you reporting you to the kgb. This made oppression including linguistic also bottom-up Newspeak is actually a very similar approach

I don’t know about how strong the case is, but the stories about his character makes sense in the context of someone who would leak that. Notice who you call as ‘they’ didn’t portray him as a self-proclaimed idealist, but someone with an un

Maybe this example was not the best as it is only in Windows for 10 years, NFS however as a component exists since at least NT 4. Even if this exploit only touches completely new code, my point still stands that windows has multiple layers

Seems like all the good zero days are in highly vintage components such as SMB, NFS, True Type Fonts and Windows Fax If I were a security researcher I would look at anything that came from win 3.11, probably full of holes

My fringe hypothesis is even wilder: Jesus told his believers to eat his flesh and blood to get eternal life (John 6:53–57) Someone took it literally and opened the grave, and ate the body This is how the body disappeared suddenly and the g

I don’t think there’s an infinite number of email addresses. The ‘username’ part is limited to 64 chars, while it almost never exceeds 20 (or even less). The number of domains is also a fixed number at any given time, while I suspect that

UK gov development is very impressive when I compare it to the government websites here which have a distinct 90’s scent. Both in open source projects and these design blogs. Seems like a highly professional software organization

It’s actually extremely useful to go through life feeling like a victim. There is such an intense social pressure to succeed in something, you can just attribute any failure to the dice being loaded and reduce that pressure

Reminds us all that instead of fixing real social issues we can all go into denial by changing the words that denote them

I still think traffic lights would work as that’s almost a universal global standard (isn’t Japan the only exception?) and it works well in English But I think we can agree that the goal when choosing these names isn’t really being concise
