We used our side project (Hacker Sidekick) for cyber research. We gave it a CVE number and a description of what we needed: a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2026-23918, with a te…

And how long will those rules exist? If people want these rules, they should be made into laws.

Cultural thing or…selection bias. The people who left were the ones with the personality and work ethic that leads to being successful.

Right. But you don’t think the giant education gap right before AI isn’t the primary reason?

I can’t read it (lol) due to paywall, but 100% it’s because we stopped teaching kids how to read. But good luck trying to hold public schools accountable! https://www.nytimes.com/2…

The ftc isn’t supposed to create laws though. I tend to overshoot on the consumer’s side, but the ftc is overstepping with actions like this. There should be a law passed on this p…

They’re talking about those times we let women vote, implemented social security and got rid of Jim Crow. Really overshot lol.

Not to be flippant, but why can’t you do that?

With all the accounting tricks it’s probably hard to know if this was a success. Likely there is a large share of the user base on trial periods or partner offers (e.g., free with …

Yeah good luck. I don’t think any hr decisions have ever been about data; it’s about following norms. If you can get the rand corp or heritage foundation to adopt this policy then …

That seems solvable with a payload of a transceiver that is dropped outside the range of the jammer. Then you only need a spool as long as the radius of the jammer + some margin.

Does Target have a right to not sell porn? Or is that censorship?

I brought some class actions years ago alleging the unlawful use of this tech for essentially ads purposes: https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/lawsuit-news... and http…

The investigators must be pretty low iq. They are sending the cars to chop shops and ships…close those down and the thefts stop.

So what about Edina, MN? They're doing the same tracking there, and it's not Fresno.

Effectively, GDPR only applies to EU nationals. US folks have no such rights and anyone even remotely associated with an institution like U of M are forced to agree to whatever dat…

They previously sold athlete data, no one should be surprised by this. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/11/sports/ncaafootball/weara...

Running a business being easy is limited to these low-value drop-ship businesses. Running an actual business is hard. What they’re doing is just arbitrage: buying in bulk from Ali …

We need less tech and more humans in education. All the things in your first paragraph are true problems, but the solution is 15 kids per class and discipline in the class room not…

Agreed. Who the heck inserts a citation into a paper without actually reading the source material? Maybe ChatGPT is a great way to reveal the frauds.

Yeah, I don't know why you think farmers are "smart" (taking this meaning to convey that we shouldn't question their practices). If you pump enough water and fertilizer into the al…

Ah. Good points.
