> something like CVE-1999-0113 (or its very recently discovered/disclosed friend CVE-2026-24061) Interesting that you remember CVEs by ID and how they relate one to another. Do you know if they are visualization of CVEs? I'm wondering if that would help newcomers to security to get some memorable insights.

Oh, no, I remembered the actual exploits because they were comically trivial. I searched for them and found the ids to paste here. I don't in general follow security vulnerabilities closely enough to be the one to ask about CVE visualizations and the like.

Ah no worries, I'm not expert either was just curious about the mindset.

I did find https://cve-north-stars.github.io/docs/CVE-analysis#seeking-... though as an example, quite interesting.

As someone in music, yeah, that was one of the best movie soundtrack’s of all time (not much like it in movies beforehand). But kind of disagree about the film, think it was under appreciated. It isn’t a masterpiece, but the acting, the overall story, and the visuals were really good. And yeah, those dark Tron-visuals combined with the pulsing, digital daft-punk music really worked (at least for me), and when I want…

The Overture sounds like Chariots of Fire and The Lord of the Rings had a baby in the beginning, followed by a Kraftwerk wannabe who couldn't afford a vocoder.

haha, not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing:)

I would encourage you to read both of these comments in succession with nothing else between them. The first two words of the first comment are “You should” then your follow up grammatically evaluates to “I’m not telling you what should happen”. All they did is point out that suggesting people should post to YouTube exacerbates the network effects you allude to.

"You should " begins what actions I suggest you do in order to mitigate the outside forces that are happening whether you like them or not . The outside world is certain. Your response is something you can influence. The world sucks. You get to choose your response and if you choose wrong your business gets Darwinned. I've told you what actions I think will avoid your business getting Darwinned, but your response has…

This reads as utter nonsense disconnected from the flow of conversation. I suggest you turn down the temperature on your Heretic model.

Bad. Very bad.

Maybe it's my prejudice against helmets - I bike 120km every weekend without one, so sue me - but Daft P annoy me.

I see you have taken the latter option: feel smug, ignore the real world, and fade your brand into irrelevance. Oh well, plenty more brands out there.
