    You should make it about CT logs. I believe you need to compromise at least three of them.

    This post is about a logic bug that could have happened in any language

    How iPhone notifications work. These are relied upon by humans and they started displaying incorrect facts for news apps

    I don't think anyone here advocates for "just ship it" when you're talking about breaking updates to a system used by a significant chunk of the world's population.

    The routine is here https://youtu.be/jgcGEIfE9kE but I don't think that's the origin of the phrase and doesn't mention mailing candy ones to people

    Some was too excited about Santa to, you know, read the usernames of the submitter and commenter

    I don't see how you would get the private key for the airtag off the iPhone without jailbreaking it. The readme of the project implies you can do this but the docs are completely l…

    The "model solution" isn't exactly great. "Just make sure to style the button so it's appearance changes when it has focus..." Ok? So show me how to do that!

    Youd probably get the Abel prize (which has a significantly larger cash prize)

    You're not really admitting it by masking it in an obtuse acronym

    My computer isn't great, I'll admit, but I'm making a relative comparison. I visit many different websites on my low spec computer but discord is a noticeable outlier on how it aff…

    Anytime I have a discord tab open it noticeably grinds my computer to a halt

    That's not what's happened here. His time in UK prison counts towards his US charges and is the reason he's not doing time in US prison. It's more like if "settling things country …

    It's about being in the middle of the encrypted tunnel, not the network traffic. It's no more misleading than saying "man".

    Does this JavaScript run in the same origin as the Google domain? Surely this is just an open redirect rather than xss?

    Is there a tl;dr so we don't have to wade through swathes of AI generated text explaining what a network is?

    Agreed; my problem was that the parent comment was imprecise, and hence confusing. "n bit random number vs. n bit modulus" implied n was the same in each case, whereas 521 is not t…

    It's not the difference between an n-bit random number and an n-bit modulus. It's the difference between a 512-bit random number and a 521-bit random number. It's very simple, but …

    Awesome! Only one tiny typo: It's "ECB" rather than "EBC" :)

    The article is talking about deep learning winning, ie neural networks. Surely modelling of human biology is part of that?

    But drawing a hierarchy in the shape of a pyramid is a perfectly natural thing to do and not, as you stated, misinterpreting his writings. You used this as a basis to discredit the…

    He never drew them in a pyramid but he absolutely described them hierarchically. A quote from his 1943 paper: "Human needs arrange themselves in hierarchies of pre-potency. That is…

    Nonce reuse covers a whole bunch of attacks in different algorithms. It's weird to compare that broad category against two specific examples of padding oracle attacks
