While this is slightly nitpicky, from what I gather many of those draws are because neither side can make progress against the opponent. These are positions where in order for the game to move "forward" both sides would need to in

The on-disk text is still crazy but you can turn on version tracking in node-red that lets you track any changes made.

I'm a big fan of CyberChef. One of its most useful features is "magic" and turning on "intensive mode". This will automatically detect the encoding used and can often detect 2-3 levels of encoding.

I think the intention of the poster before you was to highlight that monoclonal antibodies (likely) actually make more money for big pharma than a course of vaccination. A lot of anti-vaccine rhetoric revolves around vaccines being a big ph

Its not exactly that, but Mr. Robot is excellent if you haven't seen it.

Doesn't this require conversion between currencies, inherently adding a ton of risk?

While elliptic curves may sound like they're related to analog data (sinusoidal curves etc), they're actually used in an incredibly discrete way. You have discrete points on an elliptic curves modulo a prime and use them in ellipt

This is an easy excuse but one I find hard to believe as being at all legitimate. Out of all the things that lead to promoting sexualization of minors I highly doubt that anyone is going to look back on their chidlhood and blame a book. I a

I use freenom for a small website I run, they're definitely weird. That said, I've never paid them anything. Freenom combined with 000webhost was the perfect tech stack to host a small website for a friends gaming guild. Weird stu

I really relate to this. I gamed excessively through high school and parts of college (think thousands of hours a year), largely as I just couldn't think of anything better to do. More than anything it was just embarassing as it made m

One important thing to note which may be lost in the headline, this is for concealed carrying and not open carry. That said, as someone who in the past 5 years went through the process of getting licensed to carry in my state I think the ma

With a linear time O(N) first pass you can identify the minimum element in the list. This reduces M from being the largest element to being the difference between the largest and the smallest element.

I'm really not sure what the motive to lie is. You got caught with your hand in the cookie jar, time to explain what happened before they continue to treat you like a common criminal. Doing a pentest and refusing to state it was a pent

I hadn't actually found the original source material! I've amended my post to considerably tone down my accusations since it appears I was working with an incomplete picture of what the original presentation was. After an initial

DISCLAIMER: I initially did not have access to the original presentation. The original presentation is far better from what I can tell compared to how it has been represented in both right wing and left wing media at presenting their claims

Sad to see downvotes here but the Benford's law thing is absolutely one of the weakest claims of fraud finding. It sounds good initially (tool for finding some kinds of fraud used to find other kinds of fraud) but it is almost entirely

I've dug a fair bit into the statistic based claims and most of them just don't hold much water. The benfords law one that picked up steam being the main one I dug into, I even made a nice repo with fancy graphs but the meme had d

If anyone is curious why some senator called Graham seems to be popping up in every bill that poses a threat to the internet, its because he sponsors or co-sponsors most of them. On congress.gov you can get a nice listing of everything he&

Why is it that this is only attacking google search? I'm not that well versed in antitrust legal matters but why isn't there attempts to break up the broader Alpbabet into sensible smaller companies that each do their own thing? I

A lot of us spent a fair bit of time on hardcore free speech platforms and "saw what that got us" with cesspools like the various internet chans. A society that doesn't police itself is anarchy, and that really isn't hel

I highly doubt that this will ever succeed due to the S&P 500 and similar stock indexes. Over the past year (looking at September 6 2019 comparing that to today) there has been 15% growth in the S&P 500, which is insane considering

Not OP, also not advocating for totally open borders and am specifically focusing on the claim related to borders and their effect on peace. From my own experience it is far easier to dehumanize and even demonize someone or some group of pe

Not OP, but I'll give it a shot. At a low level pretty much all standard integer math is mod arithmetic, typically mod 2^32 or 2^64 depending on if a computer is 32 or 64 bit. This means that when a number goes above this limit it &quo

I notice in your other replies you have several interview questions that seem to be targeted at previous experience. What kind of side projects, cybersecurity or just programming related, do you find the most appealing in a candidate?

One thing that bothers me about most of these algorithms is how conceptually difficult they are for me to understand. I don't have that strong of a background in cryptography but there is something special about how with RSA you can do

From my own attempts at hobbyist 3d modelling, computer generating a human with clothes is far harder than furniture. Looking through the computer generated images for IKEA almost all of them are hard body (solid objects) with very few soft

After seeing a lot of comments here discussing accreditation, I figured it may be beneficial to many readers to know about low cost, more transferrable, options for college credits. I have to stress though, there are lots of a-hole universi

I've been wondering why my chromium installation has been feeling slower recently, thanks for the heads up. Any insight into why LastPass slows everything down so much? It seems like it has a relatively simple job to do.
