"Black Hat" is the professional computer security conference that preceeds Defcon. Defcon was the grungy hobbiest doing crazy shit with computers. Black hat was corporate sponsored presentations, stuffy suits, and business cards.

When they talk about "the elites" they are talking about a cabal and yes, it does exist. Vanguard and Blackrock created this environment by simply owning more real estate (via other companies) than anyone else. This, combined with

It’s also painfully corporate. It used to be Defcon attendees would make fun of black hat attendees. Now they’re the same people. It’s no where near the same feeling it was years ago. Too expensive for the value you get out of it.

$150 or so. That's my fault because I like to eat good food. However, even then, my bill has gone up about 30% or so. I love coke zero and I have had to cut back, probably for the better, because a 12 pack has not moved off the $10 mar

Most Japanese bikes are very user friendly. Even the newer ones aren't terrible to work on. If you want the easiest mix of technology and ease of repair shoot for a Japanese motorcycles before 2014-ish.

Yep, you can bleed it physically but the system will refuse to re-activate the ABS until you trigger something in the ROM. Absolutely insane. You can't get even order the tool directly from Triumph to do it because you need to be some

Less than 3. Job's simple when you don't charge by a book. I am not even particularly adept at it. Just familiar. Someone with thousands of bikes under their belt could probably reshim an engine in an hour.

Oh yeah. Triumph in particular is notorious for this. For most bikes made beyond 2018 or so there are nearly no 3rd party manuals available. You have to pay, quite literally by the page or by the hour, to view the manuals on their website.

Not bad except for visual studio devcontainers. Absolutely gross solution to a problem I've never faced in over a decade of professional development. I can see docker in some cases (rarely) for C programming. But devcontainers? That&#x
