Lmfao god bless America right?
That reminds me of one of my favorite lines in one of my favorite movies, Thank You for Smoking. seriously if you are reading this and have not watched it, stop what you’re doing and go watch it right now.
Nick Naylor’s (a tobacco lobbyist) son asks, “dad, why is America the greatest country in the world?” Nick is reading something, doesn’t look up and takes a slight beat to think about it, then just calmly responds, “our endless appeal system.”
That movie is unbelievable. I know out of context that line just seems like edge lord nonsense, but Aaron Eckhardt (sp?) just sells it so hard.
Something I try to explain to people is that HAMAS tries to kill civilians, but fails at achieving their goals, meanwhile Israel tries to avoid killing civilians, but fails to achieve that goal.
One of these is better than the other.
Weirdly, many people disagree over which one that is.
To add to this & the Jobs interview - an oil industry proverb: a healthy oil company has a geologist in charge, a mature one has an engineer in charge, a declining one has an accountant in charge, and a dying one has a lawyer in charge.
which will make the computer auto login to the chosen account on next reboot, without having to type in a password. Only lasts once. Has obvious security downsides though but that might be fine.
This statistic is very relevant here, and surprising to many! Deaths per kWh produced for all energy sources.
Solar and nuclear both really stand out immensely as the safer alternatives.
People tend to think of nuclear as dangerous, but that's just propaganda. There has been a lot of anti-nuclear propaganda over the years. But the numbers speak truth:
And then there's coal. The difference between nuclear and coal is that when nuclear has a horrible accident, it kills fewer people than coal kills as part of its normal expected operation.

As an example of government regulation driving this change, see [1].
This regulation of NSW, Australia considers rooted devices with extra non-Google/non-Apple approved security features such as a duress/wipe PIN (a standard feature of GrapheneOS[2]) as a "dedicated encrypted criminal communication device". How the device is being used doesn't matter. It's how it _could_ be used.
You can make the NS record for the _acme-challenge.domain.tld point to another server which is under your control, that way you don't have to update the zone through your DNS hoster. That server then only needs to be able to resolve the challenges for those who query.
They’ve already found a loophole for that: If you gamble with fake money (acquired through real money and a confusing set of currency conversions) and the prizes are jpegs of boat-girls (or horse-girls, as I hear are popular lately) or football players, you can sell to all the children you want.
Yes, Samba's vfs_fruit module (which has options for better interoperability with Mac OS) has the fruit:model setting lets you select which icon it will show up as. You can make it look like any Mac model or Apple TV or iPhones etc.
Setting it to the string RackMac or Xserve should get that icon.
A much more impressive universal macOS application in my mind is the X Lossless Decoder (XLD), which you can run natively on PowerPC (32), Intel (32/64) and ARM (64). Not only is it a great app if you need to rip CDs or transcode audio, but the fact that it still runs on every Mac architecture is rather impressive.
I am also not an immigration lawyer. In Maslenjak v. United States (https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/16pdf/16-309_h31i.pdf), eight justices disagreed with the expansive interpretation of the statute you describe. From the majority opinion, "The statute Congress passed, most naturally read, strips a person of citizenship not when she committed any illegal act during the naturalization process, but only when that act played some role in her naturalization." and "Suppose that an applicant for citizenship fills out the paperwork in a government office with a knife tucked away in her handbag. She has violated the law against possessing a weapon in a federal building, and she has done so in the course of procuring citizenship, but nobody would say she has “procure[d]” her citizenship “contrary to law.” That is because the violation of law and the acquisition of citizenship in that example are merely coincidental: The one has no causal relation to the other."
That's in progress. It's called the MAGA Parallel Economy.[1]
Donald Trump, Jr. is in charge. Vivek Ramaswamy and Peter Thiel are involved.
Azoria ETF and 1789 Capital are funds designed to fund MAGA-friendly companies.
But this may be a sideshow. The main show is US CEOs sucking up to Trump, as happened at the inauguration. That parallels something Putin did in 2020.
Putin called in the top two dozen oligarchs, and told them "Stay out of politics and your wealth won’t be touched." "Loyalty is what Putin values above all else.” Three of the oligarchs didn't do that. Berezovsky was forced out of Russia. Gusinsky was arrested, and later fled the country. Khodorkovsky, regarded as Russia’s richest man at the time (Yukos Oil), was arrested in 2003 and spent ten years in jail. He got out in 2013 and left for the UK. Interestingly, he was seen at Trump's inauguration.
Nooooooo! He was my next door neighbor a few years ago, and I knew him as a person before I realized that I knew him as a hero.
His dogs were fiercely protective of his house, which is perfectly understandable. One day I saw a "sewer cleaning" van behind his house, and I have a hard time believing that's what it really was: https://honeypot.net/2025/03/12/rip-mark-klein.html
There's also a more advanced version that lets you experience the joys of punch-card programming with modern languages (JS, Perl, Python (mostly Python2)):
Since every 3rd message on this thread (at the time I wrote this) is about how Google underpaid for this bug, some quick basic things about vulnerability valuations:
* Valuations for server-side vulnerabilities are low, because vendors don't compete for them. There is effectively no grey market for a server-side vulnerability. It is difficult for a third party to put a price on a bug that Google can kill instantaneously, that has effectively no half-life once discovered, and whose exploitation will generate reliable telemetry from the target.
* Similarly, bugs like full-chain Android/Chrome go for hundreds of thousands of dollars because Google competes with a well-established grey market; a firm can take that bug and sell it to potentially 6 different agencies at a single European country.
* Even then, bounty vs. grey market is an apples-oranges comparison. Google will pay substantially less than the grey market, because Google doesn't need a reliable exploit (just proof that one can be written) and doesn't need to pay maintenance. The rest of the market will pay a total amount that is heavily tranched and subject to risk; Google can offer a lump-sum payment which is attractive even if discounted.
* Threat actors buy vulnerabilities that fit into existing business processes. They do not, as a general rule, speculate on all the cool things they might do with some new kind of vulnerability and all the ways they might make money with it. Collecting payment information? Racking up thousands of machines for a botnet? Existing business processes. Unmasking Google accounts? Could there be a business there? Sure, maybe. Is there one already? Presumably no.
A bounty payout is not generally a referendum on how clever or exciting a bug is. Here, it kind of is, though, because $10,000 feels extraordinarily high for a server-side web bug.
For people who make their nut finding these kinds of bugs, the business strategy is to get good at finding lots of them. It's not like iOS exploit development, where you might sink months into a single reliable exploit.
This is closer to the kind of vulnerability research I've done recently in my career than a lot of other vuln work, so I'm reasonably confident. But there are people on HN who actually full-time do this kind of bounty work, and I'd be thrilled to be corrected by any of them.
If you have NAT64, DNS64 and use “IPv6-mostly” option 108 on DHCP, then CLAT will be activated on supporting devices automatically - and then you can turn the dhcpv4 off when you see no leases on it :-)
Yes, and we have freely available, cycle accurate 6502 emulation code bodies along with full coverage tests that include both the official opcodes and many illegal ones. Mostly the ones people used such as LAX, which can get the same value into both registers on a single read.
I just had a fleeting thought right now related to that behavior:
Basically, that opcode works because of how simple the design is. Electrically, wiring both registers up does the trick. And many parts of the chip can work together like that even though none or it was intended.
I wonder what a revisit, that takes these now well understood behaviors
into consideration, would look like!
Zeroing all or multiple registers, same with bit ops, maybe inc, dec...
Many new, efficient instructions are possible. Would be a fun programming exercize and design one too.
RE3 was a reverse engineered product. It used the original source and logic to derive an ABI compatible implementation. This has always been a grey area-outright illegal activity. It's the entire reason Compaq clean room engineered (or, at the very least, claimed to) their BIOS all the way back in 1982.
Every time I hear people complain about this, I just have to roll my eyes. Go do a clean room implementation like OpenRA and you're legally pretty safe. Use their IP and you're just asking for them to easily shut you down once you catch enough attention.
Correct, unless you're using a self-encrypting drive the FVEK sits in RAM once it's been released by the TPM during boot. The TPM is only a root of trust; for fast crypto operations without keeping the key in kernel memory you would need something like Intel SGX or ARM TrustZone.
