I am going to the Defcon CTF Finals at the Defcon conference this year. Coming from Europe, I know of multiple people who will participate remotely because of the political climate. I would have to lie if I said that I didn't think about skipping the USA either. In the cybersecurity space especially things have always been difficult.

I am competing as well. Coming from Europe, it's still a bit uncertain which team members can and are willing to travel to the USA in the current political climate.

Is there any health implications to this?

kernaussage · 3 years ago

Why would there be?

Starlink emits non-iodizing radiation.

The github page states that this project doesn't work with mobile safari. Therefore all browsers based on the safari engine on ios including firefox will not work.

Perhaps because you have to have a Medium account to read the article? I'd love to read it, but I don't love the idea of logging in to Medium to do so.

Just clear your medium cookies, there is a limit on how many articles you can read per month.

Simple, human error and no code review process for your production environment.

Something similar happened to a huge retailer here in Austria where just typing your username without password would log you in. Reason? An intern committed debug code to production and nobody noticed. In my book that's not the fault of the intern but the fault of the CTO/$TECH_LEAD that hasn't implemented and religiously uphold a code review process for everything that goes into production since stuff like this could happen even to experienced engineers that are tired or having a bad day.

I live in Austria as well, could you share to which retailer it happened?

Austria has taken similar measures as well.

The problem for me is the fidelity of the simulation. It’s like running a simulation of the hardware of a computer on the computer itself. eeven if you devote all of the computer’s resources, the simulation will run incredibly slowly. If you run the simulation in a fraction of the real hardware’s resources, the simulation will either have to be extremely crude and unrealistic, or equally extremely slowly. At which point, why would anyone do this?

A simulation like GTA is only useful because it is staggeringly crude, but the goals of the simulation are commensurately staggeringly modest. I just don’t see how running a simulation of our universe, in our universe, at high enough fidelity to appear real even under detailed scientific analysis, could be useful or worthwhile.

I’d like to see a more credible and compelling proposal than hand waved ‘history simulation’. What’s the point of a history simulation that runs many times slower than real time? If it’s low fidelity, it will also be low accuracy, so why simulating at the physics level at all? I don’t see how it would give useful results.

Time is relative, our perceived time must not necessarily be the same as the one the inhabitants of the simulation feel.
