NTS radio https://www.nts.live (and the app) is my most recent favorite way to discover, underground/rare/undiscovered music, curated by humans that are experts in their scene or musicians themselves. Covers many genres

I used to work for Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond's record label. This book looks interesting ... but I really wish the focus was on the art and the music, and not the "the guys who burnt 1 million quid" incident.
One thing that the media have a tough time recognizing is the fact that Bill and Jimmy are legit experimental artists, and still love making art of all kinds. And they also happened to have some amazing musical talent and experience (Jimmy: The Orb; Bill: Big In Japan and early manager of Echo and the Bunnymen).
So, they decided to take their talents into areas where few experimental artists had ever gone before, taking over the pop charts ... and then proceeded to do what experimental artists are wont to do in such a situation.
They gave a huge middle finger to the industry, by barnstorming the big UK music industry award ceremony (the '92 Brit Awards), playing a death metal version of one of their dance hits while Bill fired blanks from a machine gun over the heads of the crowd. Later in the evening they dumped a dead sheep outside one of the after-parties, and shortly afterwards deleted their entire back catalogue.
They proceeded to do lots of other experimental stuff, ranging from writing some excellent books (I recommend Bill's "45") to activities such as Jimmy's model English village a few years back.
And the music, 30+ years later, is still fantastic! Not just the pop hits. Listen to The White Room. Dig up the club singles and experiments like the Abba and Whitney projects and It's Grim Up North.
Yet after all that, what does the media remember them for? More often than not, it's the one-off act of Burning a Million Quid in 1994. Their ground-breaking music, the books, the anti-establishment statements and art ... it's almost an afterthought.
It's like releasing an otherwise interesting book about Ozzy Osbourne - a seminal figure in the history of heavy metal with an unusual groundbreaking role in reality TV - and positioning it around a single sensational incident from 1982, "Crazy Train: Ozzy Osbourne, the Man Who Bit The Head Off A Bat"
Wonder showzen was inspired by this stunt and took their episode budget of ~$100k and paid a homeless person $10k to throw another $10k out of a helicopter onto the statue of liberty. It didn’t work out in the end but still was a hell of a tribute in theory. See https://www.brooklynvegan.com/wonder-showzen-creators-talk-t...

I've been wondering how long it would be before something like this happened ever since e-sports cycling started. Longer than I thought it would is the answer!
I'm sure there's simpler ways as well: you could manipulate the spindown test that the turbotrainer does for calibration to make it think the flywheel is heavier than it really is, for example.
At the non-pro level cheating is absolutely rife. Mostly through people lying about their weight. In every open zwift race there are performances that would put a person in the top 0.1% of riders globally being put down by half the field!
These zwift races require two data inputs, one from a power meter (pedal or crank) and one from the trainer. So manipulating just the trainer flywheel would not be enough.
From the article, in office is 3 days per week -

I recently found a new-ish zine with similar content and current publication dates, loosely led by a principal sec eng at a FAANG, but can't recall the title. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, would love to know the pub's name.
These security zines add so much value. Smashing the stack for fun and profit is taught in CS programs, for instance. I'd love to see this style of security research culture with the personality that it has return/grow outside of Project 0 blogs.
Maybe you are thinking of PoC||GTFO https://www.sultanik.com/pocorgtfo/
custom ISA, 400W TDP. Sounds like a real pain in the ass =)

> As of writing this blog I was in Switzerland and the IP used to egress my traffic was in a region located in the US. If this also tends to change a lot and fast you can basically throw away IP addresses as data of your RIBA.
Wait, so my data will be routed to US servers, as an EU resident, where the data protection laws are not as strong as where I live? This is a really bad idea, as US is known to tap any data they can get on their soil.
Private relay will egress from the same general region as the client source location. So if you’re in switzerland and hopping through a US exit point that is a bug. This is clearly explained in the wwdc video

AT&T runs transparent proxies on their network that have been known to intercept and mangle tls, and directly manipulate tcp packets on the wire.
Take a tcpdump capture on both server/client side and compare the handshake/tcp headers/negotiated window size. Often you see the server sending one thing, but the client sees another

I'm confused if this is for people that are already employed (aren't there tax implications for working in another country?) or for startup founders, or startup employees?
