It’s not security for the end user It’s security for Google Back in the day, you could upload, for an example, a specially-crafted HTML file with your own malicious JS code to, for an example, an image hosting service and basically use them

I was more referring to Stuxnet as an example of someone who is willing to spend the money on people to figure out some obscure techniques Spy agencies have definitely used obscure data exfiltration techniques and they can afford spies.

OK but even sometimes finding an up-to-date HTML renderer can be hard. Very few people are out there packaging up-to-date webpage renderers into easy to use libraries. Many times you end up using the one built-in to your UI toolkits and tho

Trying to get an up to date web browser embedded in an application is difficult. The people who make web browsers make their components first most for their web browser, not for embedding in other peoples’ projects. Usually you can find som

I mean if the stakes were high enough If I told you that you could make 500 million dollars (after taxes) if you figured this out, suddenly you would be on top of this. The stakes of Stuxnet was probably “the safety of the free world” in th

These are all practical attacks. Most of us are just not the right customer for them For most people, if you are trying to exfiltrate some customer data to sell on the black market, are you going to spend a bunch of development time blinkin

What does fragile mean? Does it mean you can’t drop it? I’ve seen people poorly pack a box so you can’t drop the box without something breaking and then they slap “FRAGILE” on it. People put fragile on all sorts of boxes that shouldn’t have

It’s not like we haven’t been down a similar path Java introduced a language and library… but the real innovation was that it introduced a cross platform VM that was supported by some organization WebAssembly is now doing the same thing… bu

Doesn’t it depend on the source language? If you compile JS to WASM, you’d have the same problem. I imagine Python performance isn’t too great either. Whereas if you compiled (or translated — not sure how comparable the WASM instruction set

The reason why some people lose weight when they switch to healthier foods is because it takes more work to prepare, is more expensive, and/or tastes less satisfying. In that case, the weight loss is caused because the psychological ef

There’s always coupons for Dominoes though. It’s like Michaels is Kohl’s — you’re supposed to be using coupons every time you buy something because that’s presumably how their prices are designed.

Weight loss doesn’t come from eating healthier — it comes from eating less. You can lose weight just eating hot pockets.

I suspect there's a way to eliminate Reedy Creek district. I don't think it's the law stopping the dissolution of the district -- it's that no one important in the state seriously wants to do that. Who does it benefit?

I like how the article just hand waves away the 4,000 sq. ft. figure by saying "but you probably don’t need quite that much as long as you’re efficient" like somehow magically you can make it work in 200 sq. ft. You can't.

Well imagine if you have a few friends who are into cars and they're all about, say, reducing certain regulations on tailpipes. You yourself don't know much about cars and frankly don't care, but because the people you are ar

I find that last line perfectly justified. OP’s post was incredibly dismissive and incorrect but was written as if it was from an expert. It’s textbook misinformation as far as I am concerned.

Sounds like there are trash models of Thinkpads like there are trash models of MacBooks. Have to do your research either way. I personally picked my Thinkpad model. I did not get to choose my MacBook model.

Are you sure? I have both an Intel Macbook Pro (work) and a Lenovo Thinkpad and I love my Thinkpad. I hate the Macbook so much. It's true my fans turn on a little more with my Thinkpad but I rather have fans over a sluggish Macbook. Pl

The electricity required is precisely the problem why we don’t do it. And it’s not so much the power that it requires but that the extremely low energy density of lithium batteries means we have to minimize power usage as much as possible.

Well thanks to entropy, nothing we build lasts. Cars don’t last, buildings don’t last, and bridges don’t last. Yet we trudge on.

If anything, we just need mandated personal finance classes in high school since not everyone has parents/family to teach them. It would go a long way.

You can be 100% rational but 100% wrong. A computer is 100% rational but whether the output is right or wrong depends entirely on its input. I make this distinction because if you want to change someone's mind or behavior, assuming tha

Windows probably has at least one person dedicated to making battery life better. I feel like the problem with a lot of products is that there is no one dedicated specifically to the important features. If you want better battery life, you

One thing I’ve learned at this point is that almost l no kid or adult is actually irrational. If someone seems irrational, it’s because their shoes are so different from any that you’ve been in. You simply have never experienced anything li
