    It's trivial (if you know what you are doing) to load kernel drivers from userspace by abusing windows bugs. If you trust a program to run in userspace, then it already has all the…

    Good that you've managed to read the first sentence. But it would have been better if you've also read the second one where he explicitly said "I created the account just for my Oc…

    >They didn't even feel the need to use TSMC 7nm They just couldn't get enough wafers. They tried to force TSMC to lower the prices and it backfired.

    "White is unambiguously the correct answer." Hmm, isn't sun wavelength actually closer to very very bright green?

    Good AR is much harder than VR. So it makes sense to tackle VR first.

    The pictures in the article don't work (at least for me). Here is the wayback machine snapshot where everything displays correctly. https://web.archive.org/web/20160718172225/http:…

    To put it bluntly, because the road constant progress and improvement can potentially unveil the meaning of existence of the universe. Nihilism is naive by definition, just because…

    Humans are actually special. We are smarter than any other animal on earth and have culture. Human brain is the most complex structure in the known universe, so even on that scale …

    If you really want to, you can "manufacture" high resolution timer pretty easily with thread spinning.

    kd-11 was fine, the criticisms is mostly directed at "the main dev" nekotekina. Go through the git history of the last 4~ years. It's not amazing or impressive by any stretch of th…

    To be honest, i think $3k per month is already pretty generous, considering the amount of work the lead dev does. I followed the project closely couple of years ago and even back t…

    I didn't change my argument. "Just bruteforce the login page" is not a go-to method of the competent attacker. Why? Because it's trivial to stop it. You want simple concrete exampl…

    What do you mean by "which dimension"? Login attempts per second. How you do it? Depends, but basic answer is captcha. How do you make sure normal user are not affected? You monito…

    Some sites store passwords as plain text. And? But if care about security, you might as well solve the problem properly instead of wasting your time implementing "your password mus…

    >Why wouldn't they be? Because it's trivial to implement decent ratelimiter which stops attackers, but still allows normal users to login.

    You're right. I don't know why it's still not a common knowledge that nobody bruteforces the login pages in this day and age. But I guess too many people, who have products to sell…

    Well, it's hard to compete in the already established markets. But you have to, one way or another, usually by providing better value. Be it lower price, faster delivery or higher …

    Basic solution would be for seller with low reputation to lower the price. Even if not a lot of buyers take the risk, lower price should eventually attract enough people to allow a…

    But how would you protect the seller from the "evil buyer"? The one who receives the goods, but never releases the lock? Sure, he is not getting his money back, but the seller is n…
