Thanks for the links, I had missed those. Also: > Our democratic systems, laws, etc. are not built to do that, they are built on the idea of intrinsic stability of our world where …

Ironically, the origin of "cognitive dissonance" as a concept is attributable to Leon Festinger who (with others) studied a UFO cult called The Seekers in the 1950s who believed in…

ArrayCast is a great podcast and I've enjoyed it quite a lot since it started. Listening to people talk about APL/K/J/BQN/etc is a great way to learn about the array languages. May…

> Their behaviour has been more akin to a non-profit. Great for us, not so great for them in the long run. This is particularly amusing when considering they helped start the Open …

Any L2 you'd recommend? The last time I dipped my toe in that world I only bothered with L1s like Ethereum, Solana, etc.

Interesting! Well, I'm definitely not in whatever those regions are. Presumably if a threat actor was motivated enough this would be fairly easily circumvented :] Edit: e.g. via re…

Cool! I wasn't aware of nano; your point about the gas fees is really compelling, as there's a lot of stuff I've wanted to try building on Ethereum et al that I just haven't done b…

You don't have to do that? I touched upon it in the first section of the post. All you need is a valid phone number, which you can use throwaway trial SIM cards for.

Regarding your first point, extraction of the headers could be trivially automated. Also, using Hinge's CDN (which I think is CloudFlare and/or AWS) is more viable imo, as you don'…

I want to thank you and the other user (hobofan) for pointing out the use of crypto currencies as C2s. I do bioinformatics for a living, not infosec, so that's another fun little r…

Annual lupin ( L. angustifolius and L. albus ) have been bred for better yields and low alkaloids. There are some existing commercial varieties. Australia is a large producer. From…

That's true, the existing power infra (substation, etc) is big and would cost a pretty penny to build greenfield. But the water is also right there and more than plentiful. In this…

"Big data" has been and continues to be transformative. It's part of why we are in this current AI cycle. After each fad passes, what remains forms the foundation for the future. T…
