    Maybe I'm missing something but the ffmpeg buffer "exploit" involves passing a custom exploited buffer callback to parse a RASC file that presumably has been crafted to contain a p…

    Few thoughts: in context it's not nuts at all: - moot was fundraising for his VC backed startup during the years the emails are in, and he was likely connected via mutuals in USV o…

    I believe a lot of this expectation is that as people replace Google searches with LLMs, or even enriched LLM results pushed at the top of Google results, far less click through to…

    I think this author is comically misguided about the speed at which oil extraction happens in Venezuela. Even if the plan was to pay for everything with Venezuelan crude sales, I d…

    1. How do you intend to pay for it? 2. How do you intend to enforce it? 3. How do you intend to defend it? How many tanks can you deploy? IFVs? Artillery? How much ammunition can y…

    I was in Bishkek last year and I don't see the risk; what concerns would you have aside from food poisoning? Dushanbe I agree with you, but simply because I found Tajikistan rather…

    Yeah, it's quite an exorbitant price for the trip described. It said flights included which I have to hope is the majority of it.

    It's also the most scenic 'stan imo, by a wide margin. Was definitely my favorite of them all and is the only one I'd actually recommend people visit.

    Same, but my Turkmenistan LoI took over 4 years and several attempts to get (us passport holder). It has been by far the most problematic and difficult country for me to gain entry…

    I poked around google/ddg and didn't see any obvious public discussion of it so I can't blame you for missing it. If you have access (or have friends with access) to PitchBook, the…

    Nice article, but it is wrong about liquidity events at WeWork. The author only discusses a tender offer that fell through at the end of 2019 after the failed IPO and collapse, imp…

    100-125 should give you visual effects you'd expect based on your existing conception of hallucinogens. If you don't care for visual hallucinations, anywhere from 50-75 will give y…

    TIL! Ty, I'll keep this in mind next time my credit card number is inevitably compromised.

    I understand that, I’m curious if reporting fraud activity helps prevent that in some way like the parent comment seems to suggest, if only for a year.
