As an Australian I’m disappointed in the lack of the key word ‘cunt’ in the graph. Unless perhaps it’s zero.
I guessed 00000 and won first go!

If you have a modern iPhone and don’t want the crazy hacks, a very very simple but effective tip is to power off your iPhone when exiting the aircraft. When the device powers up it is in “before first unlock” mode and is severely restricted in what it can do. The attack surface area is significantly reduced. They’re not going to burn one of their $100,000 per install exploits on your BFU phone the same way they do with a full physical access unlocked paid exploit.
Also lockdown mode to reduce attack surface area.

I traveled to the US (from my country -France- and many others) for 12 years. About a trip every month. The last time was 10 years ago.
I never had any problems (outside the horrible behaviour of border officers who show you that you are not welcome). I was stopped once by a policeman when I did an illegal car maneuver (which is tolerated in France), and when he realized I was a tourist with family, he just said, "Be careful, have a nice trip."
Today I am seriously considering never going to the US anymore because it looks like it is not a good destination anymore. I may be wrong though, I hope.
I've already made the decision not to go to the US again for the foreseeable future.

dhsysusbsjsi commented on Apple is open sourcing Swift Build swift.org/blog/the-next-c... · Posted by u/dayanruben
I don't know about Xcode, but Swift is open source with an active community so if it doesn't work for you then you can definitely bother the Swift Open-Source project with a pull request or a proposal for a language or tooling improvement. You can also have a discussion on the forums or in the bug tracker with fellow contributors.
You can also make the change in your own fork and use that.
This is exactly how for example the Rust or Python open source projects work. And like those projects you can look at the Swift proposals and code to see _numerous_ cases where people did bother to bother the team with change requests or directly contributed to those improvements.
It is all open source. Check it out.

dhsysusbsjsi commented on Ask HN: Have you ever taken a career break or gap year to hack? · Posted by u/dheera
Yes and it was one of the best years of my life. I made more money from submitting vulnerability assessments than my day job. I’m structuring my life to do this again.
You get a little lonely as you don’t get the social fix from hanging out with work folk.
Overall the health benefits are immense. Both mental and physical as you have more time to look after yourself.
The success comes in the form of creating a void for opportunities to present themselves. I ended up doing things I never thought I’d do. Some were fun nothing burgers, and others were financially successful. The important thing is I got all my daily chores done first and only coded if I was “bored”. Coding/hacking came last.

Excuse my ignorance but how big of a lookup table would you need to achieve the same outcome ?

Ben from UncharteredX has a good video on these drill samples, but does not buy into the mainstream acceptance of how they were made. In fact the granite core samples show continuous grooves and you can calculator the pressure per turn the mechanism was under, and it’s not really able to be done easily.
