How does the helium stay in if it is not sealed? I am not familiar with hard drive construction, but helium is notoriously good at escaping.

Drives are sealed anyway. Humidity maybe. Dust can’t really get in. Power or bad batch of drives.

The economics of efficiency come in. You can say it is lack of imagination and all that, but the graveyard of bitcoin miners would disagree. Yes we might come up with some novel usage for computation that would somehow exceed the power cost

I generally think the direction is being smarter/curious first and alcohol comes along. Chemically, I don’t see how alcohol can make you have better cognition in the long run. In some narrow ways, I can see it. Long term is more intere

I ran a consulting business for a long time. Sleeping that much is no problem if you prioritize it. Kids, wife, etc. You just have to organize your life around your priorities. It does mean little time for extraneous entertainment during th

Every study I have ever read emphasized importance of sleep. Many show grey matter reduction long term the less you sleep. Sleep studies literally use a little alcohol to disrupt sleep. All the research out there indicates alcohol also dire

Yeah, browser security on the whole is surprisingly complicated. SameSite cookies, CORS, CORS Preflight, the in the weeds behaviors of many things are just invisible or not intuitive until you are deep into them.

This is overthinking it: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS You configure it mostly in HTTP headers, generally at your HTTP server/static asset serving level.

Well, I have a lab that is not. She is however motivated by fetch. She is not very smart as labs go, but she would move a mountain for you if it means one more toss of a toy. If you have a toy food does not exist. She will still do things f

Stuxnet is still one of the wildest and best computer security stories out there.

Funny example. I am a BJJ purple belt. I love BJJ analogies. It is analogous to the mental work in tech. There is just hard, physical work, repetition, analysis, and more work. It’s very rewarding. Just like tech problem solving. That’s the

I have watched a lot of Nile Red and agree with this. The actual things that happen that kick off the nuclear reaction are kind of crazy and I can see how it would be very difficult. However, you know it is possible and the shape and struct

Fun idea, there basically are no nuclear secrets. If you look long enough you can pretty much learn everything except some in the weeds details of the most modern nuclear warheads. My basic premise is all our “enemies” have this info by now

The only tricky thing there is the BoxFuture and ‘static lifetime. Arc is pretty simple. Option is simple. Rust is just forcing you to acknowledge certain things and understand lifetimes explicitly before you can move data around. And stati

To be fair, I have been in offensive security and security engineering for like 18 years now. I genuinely have an optimistic outlook. But some days the rage wins and I hack/build in anger lol. I tame it. It is fleeting. The mission mat

First develop some level of loathing and disgust at the state of all software. Let this fuel your desire to break it. Then learn to build it securely. Then market yourself as a security engineer. PROFIT!

Linux is like 27 million lines of code. The core is several million. I think efforts like gVisor and other sandboxing technologies are the future. gVisor and friends like it can minimize the attack surface of unsafe code down to some minimu

SQLAlchemy is the best stand alone ORM I have found.

It did the same thing PHP did in terms of convenience. Made it easy to generate “dynamic” HTML. Everything was a template in a sense. It grew into a more serious programming language and platform. Fond memories of year 2000 :)

Well, as an uninvested observer I think it is okay to call it out.

Wow, the speakers point was so totally missed it was comical. That was just actually insulting and rude to the speaker in my opinion.

I have a lot of 220V circuits. One is like 80A and powers a whole building. Also, almost all power comes into a home as 220V single phase from the local power distribution. Water heater, heat pumps, stove, dryer, hot tub, etc are all 220.

It is the sort of advice people who will never be in those positions hear and think it must be part of how rich business people operate. It is basic knowledge porn, like Malcolm Gladwell books, but with less sophistry.

I believe the actual issue the article implied was it prevents inspection of the roof lumber in addition to moisture trapping. Since a mortgage company can’t see the lumber and framing they won’t mortgage it. Thus you can’t sell the home to

Honest question, what should they do? Uninstall the company and give up? Ignoring their actual response, what is a good response to this?

Cansecwest, recon, there are tons of great, much smaller venues. Blackhat is more and more like RSA, and DC is more and more just a time to hang out with friends and catch up. The size of crowds is just unbelievable. My first DefCon was 18
