Back in the 80s and early 90s, we didn't wear hats. And if we had, exactly zero of them would have been white.

It was basically impossible to be a security "researcher" in that era by following all the rules. Many of the laws didn't exist yet, but lines were grey at best, and everyone knew it.

That said, Mudge has been an upright player in the industry since at least the BBN days (1995?). He was one of the first to see that cred in the scene is worth $0, but cred in the industry is worth a whole lot more.

Searching for dirt on Mudge is like talking to a 60 year old politician's high school friends to find out that they trespassed and smoked some pot when they were 15.

If you honestly care about that dirt, it says much more about you than it does about them.
Not aware of how to provide one due to constraint of the discrete nature of the language would have been used to describe the example … however, imagine entities that are able to communicate via continuous means … they would be able to … but would we be able to find ways to get it?
That is a real good idea, I really like it.
Symbol.match is not the match function, it is a Symbol which can be used as a property key on an object that is supposed to behave like a regular expression.

The purpose of having Symbol values is to ensure the property keys are unique and can't collide with string keys that predate new standards.
Agree with this take, depending on just how simple a home setup is.

If you're going to be working with it on the job, Prometheus is relatively simple to provision, though, and can provide some experience if you use it at home.
This seems like it could be a useful tool. At first read, there's nothing here that cpio, md5sum, *zip*, and mkfs in tandem couldn't do, but it simplifies the process.

The real question in my mind is if the "attic space" of learning a new tool and dragging it around everywhere is worth the convenience versus doing it The Old, Boring, Manual Way(TM). I suppose time will tell...

> But if you look at the 6502 instruction set... there's just no reasonable way to make it 16-bit

I remember being partial to the 6809 - It seemed like Motorola was able to do the 8bit (6800) to 8/16bit (6809) transition with that processor pretty well. But IIRC the only "mainstream" system using it was the Radio Shack color computer. I had the z80 based Timex-Sinclair color computer (I think this was known as the 2068) but I wanted to play with 6809 assembly programming so I built an expansion card with a 6809 on it and created my own 6809 assembler in Z80 assembly - I could assemble 6809 code on the TS and then send the resulting program over to the RAM in the expansion board and signal it to run the program and then have it send results back to the Z80 side - I remember being so excited when I got that all to work (Oh, to be young again and have time and energy for such projects :)

> I loved writing assembly for the 68k.

Later on I got an Atari ST and bought the full development system (C compiler, and a bunch Xeroxed docs). 68K assembly was indeed so nice - it's just sad that Intel won and we were stuck with x86 ISA for so long. I really never got into assembly programming for x86 because it was so ugly by comparison I just couldn't bear to look at it.
Could you please elaborate further?
> I think you underestimate how difficult it can be to emigrate to another country without plenty of money

I don't. My parent did it with nearly nothing. So did my grandparents before them. It isn't easy. Yet it is not impossible.

> why should they leave rather than fight hard for change?

It's a matter of degrees, right? I know people who hate the US to the bone and yet, they still live here. That's the kind of thing I don't understand. And, in the case of the couple of people I have in mind, money isn't problem at all.

Also, if you notice, I did mention the option to stay and fight for change is still there.

The question is one of what someone might want to have their life focus be about. I have to tell you that as you get older you tend to appreciate the idea of moving towards less drama and complexity in life. Why live life in a fever of anguish and dissatisfaction when other options might exist.

Also note that, philosophically speaking, my comment extends to situations related to working at a job or for a company one might not enjoy. One can stay and fight for change or just go. It's one of the most powerful expressions of freedom I can think of. They lose. You win. And someone (a nation or company) who might appreciate what you have to offer benefits from your decision.

In the end, it's about being free.
Ask HN: Why is the iOS UI difficult to maneuver?
I recently purchased an old iPhone 11 Pro Max to try out, after being an Android user the last 12yrs, last phone being the Oneplus 7. I knew there would be big differences and I tried to be as accepting as possible along the way.

It's been a few weeks now and I would really like to hear from current or former iPhone users on their thoughts about iOS's maneuverability.

My thoughts:
The iOS UI thrives on having the user perform tedious steps to perform very simple actions [1], is difficult to use in one hand (I understand there are smaller models but I wanted a bigger battery, this should not excuse the lack of maneuverability), and THERE IS NO UNIVERSAL BACK BUTTON! When you need to go back, you have to figure out how the current app wants you to go backwards. Swipe from the left edge? anywhere on screen? or exit using the button at the top of the screen? It's a guessing game every time.

I really want to like this phone, the hardware is incredible and the software support for years is terrific. Could long time users please chime in on how they got used to it?

[1] Reaching to the top right corner to drag down the Control Panel. Having to press the 'Select' button in Photos instead of long pressing a photo. Having to tap a toggle icon exactly for it to change status.
I've been having terrible luck with Logitech, and decided to never buy from them again. An $80 speaker set's audio input jack broke, and Logitech absolutely refused to fix it or help me in any way since it was a month or so past the one year warranty. I live right down the street from Logitech and could have just driven out to their HQ, but they completely stonewalled me.
I haven’t played Alyx, but I think you should try Boneworks. It has not just standard melee weapons, but also the ability to grab enemies with your hands and sort of grapple with them, based on a physics simulation. And it has other aspects that emphasize physicality. Some walls you can climb hand over hand; others you can’t, but if you stack up objects you can get up them anyway.

The downside of allowing these interactions is that they feel very unreal and “physics sim”-ish, almost dreamlike due to weightlessness. For a game with a serious story, it might be immersion-breaking. But I had an amazing time just experiencing it as its own thing.

Airpods do not have better duplex audio on MacOS. The problem is that AAC cannot support high-quality recording and playback at 330kbps, so it has to degrade the quality of the recording stream to fit within the Bluetooth bandwidth. MacOS might default to using your laptop's microphone, but that's something you can also set up on Windows. Hell, it should be the default on Windows as long as you have AAC support installed - there's no reason a headset should be using SBC over Bluetooth unless the last version of Windows you used was XP.
Lots of people use permanent-ish HSM-backed keys (like yubikeys) for SSH access so I guess this saves them from distributing another key? Outside of that I agree, I don't really see the point.
> Not only life, but the good life. 90% of people today live a much better life than lords and kings lived 500 years ago.

Indeed, but lets not forget that this luxury lifestyle is possible only by exploiting non-renewable resources, i.e. by stealing from future generations. I doubt history (if there will be one) will look kindly on us.
Also in Latin America there are heavy taxes for importing iphones. Why it is so? I suspect a policy to keep the developing markets… developing forever.
Thank you very much for your input. I will look into having the privacy be more verbose around the system logs and for how long I store them.

> I keep look for something I can just add lists to my server and check against that, but not going to spend thousands on it.

What do you mean by this? Like having the ability to create your own deny/black list of ip addresses and then you can validate against it?
I work for an old, but small pro-audio manufacturer, and I just started watching AudioScienceReview's YouTube videos. Amazing stuff. I love his commitment to the consumer end, audiophile products, actually testing out many of these, with industry standard test-equipment and test procedures that we use.
For consumer electronics? More like 15%. Less for competitive SKUs.

Retailers make more money on cables and mounting brackets than a TV, for example.
"stored pages" is a scam storage metric -- even if it may be an accurate portrayal, it's a deliberate way to obscure the actual amount of memory to make value-judgement towards the purchase inaccurate.

laptop computer manufacturers learned very early on (in the 70s or 80s) that flat displays are un-ergonomic and generally unusable without RSI.

I'm going to have these complaints until one of these 'minimal-text-pad' devices can at least match the ergonomics provided by any of the high end Casio/Royal/Sharp personal digitial organizers from the 90s. Flip up display, flip to power-on, easy data entry, sharp readily visible text from any angle , and an angled display that allows proper desktop use.

This isn't a high bar, these devices were ubiquitous during the early 90s. Why is this a lost art?
> Hate is a very strong word. What about people who love the place they live in, but have a few things which they would like to chane?

Then they don't hate where they live. Right?

You are right, it is a matter of degrees. That's why I chose a strong word. If someone has reached that level, they can exist in anguish or choose to go elsewhere.

As I mentioned in other comments, this applies to a job one might hate just as well.

In the end it is about freedom.
Any bets on how long it will take hackers to find a security exploit in this crap? Anything running at kernel level is going to be a prime target.
I dunno about that, man, you could get a lot of food and shelter as a lord or king 500 years ago.

I guess lords and kings didn't have anything as entertaining as a $30 smartphone from Wal-Mart though. Lords could get killed by any of a variety of Malaria-like diseases back in the day, too, so maybe they weren't that much better off than a sub-Saharan African today..
Only in 8-bit (and some 16 bit) operations and in interrupt responsiveness. And it's a royal PITA to program for, especially if you're working for anything larger than 64k.

3 registers. In two modes. None can hold more than 16 bits. Sometimes only 8 bits. Direct page (nicely movable) so you can .. sort of... have more registers. But none of those have an ALU and they take more cycles than a register.

You can address 24-bits, but never hold a pointer to any of that in a single register. So real fun doing framebuffer operations, etc.

Writing a compiler for it totally sucks.

The 816 looks great on a spec sheet until you actually try to write programs for it.

People did neat things with the IIgs. But I'm pretty sure they did it with their teeth clenched.

IPDetective collects data data from bot nets, datacenters, tor nodes, proxies and vpns. Is that what you are looking for?

Also IPDetective can be used just as a detection solution rather than a prevention solution.

Sometimes I use it against my nginx access logs and see how much of my traffic could be from bots.

As someone who helps beginners learn CSS regularly at my job, my biggest qualm with MDN is that they tend to leave out the why.

Check out this page: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/margin-bloc...

> The `margin-block` CSS shorthand property defines the logical block start and end margins of an element, which maps to physical margins depending on the element's writing mode, directionality, and text orientation.

Whew, that's a lot.

Setting aside how inside baseball the terms "logical block" and "physical margin" are, this description fails to tell the reader why they would want to use this property. Why use this, instead of `margin`? It's nowhere on the page. Typically, that reasoning lays buried in the distant and forbidden "Guides" section (which MDN's search doesn't index).

To find our reasoning, you must go to Guides, under CSS expand "CSS building blocks," then finally click "Handling different text directions": https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/Building_...

“But look, you found the explanation for `margin-block`, didn’t you?”

“Yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard.'”

> EA says kernel-level protection is “absolutely vital” for competitive games like FIFA 23, as existing cheats operate in the kernel space, so games running in regular user mode can’t detect that tampering or cheating is occurring.

How many birds do you estimate coyotes eat?

I estimate 83k coyotes in north american urban areas. (Extrapolating from 2014 estimate that 2,000 coyotes lived in the greater Chicago metropolitan area.)

Cats are 20-40% of urban coyote diets. Wild ass guess that a 40lb coyote needs to eat about 5lbs per week (based on recommended food allowance for captive coyote). For yearly total of 260lbs. Average cat weighs 10lbs? So each coyote eats 5.2 - 10.4 cats per year.

So let's say coyotes eat 83k * 5.2 = 431,600 cats per year.

A comment above says a domestic cat eats ~38 birds per year.

So urban coyotes save 16,400,800 birds per year.

(Too little is known about wild coyotes and cats for me to even guesstimate.)

So, to answer your question, I'm sure.
Ask HN: How common are wireless devices without an FCC ID
Got some fans on prime day and I decided I'd like to control them with an SDR. I went to look up the FCC ID to get the frequency and realized there were no markings on the remote inside or out. Even the microcontroller has no markings at all. After looking for it with the SDR it was on 434Mhz (not 433). Is this normal now?
Bulma is smaller. But I feel CSS frameworks are not much flexible, which may explain their decay. Also, frontend modern tooling helps you build your own components with minimal CSS helpers, like Tailwind.
Yeah but to be fair, those games were nowhere nearly as popular as FIFA is today both casually and competitively.
As the owner of a pair of high-end Audeze, this article makes me wonder how much of the cost is marketing, as opposed to going towards "quality", for whatever definition of it. It's nicely built, sounds great, very neutral for production work, but.. $1000 great? Could I have gotten comparable performance for 1/10th the price?

Is there an objective way of measuring "quality" in this space for premium products?
The 6809 was lovely. But another dead end.

Just shows you Motorola's bizarre self-destructiveness. No continuity from 6809 to 68k. None from 68k to 88k. None from 68k to PowerPC. Then dead.
If they use remote attestation, it will be basically irrelevant if they do from EA’s perspective.
I bought some cheap "chinese" (very odd named brand) bluetooth headphones on Amazon, and they sounded great. Eventually they died, so I went with Sony which was twice the price, and the sound is quite noticeably worse. Unsurprisingly my previous headphones aren't for sale any longer [1].

People focusing on the winning model are missing that none of the platforms fill identical social roles imo even if they copy features from eachother and that digitally immersed users seem to prefer it this way. I strongly doubt that TikTok would have been improved with the full feature set of Facebook even if it might benefit from integrative features for example. Discord in a similar fashion is where I go for real-ish time talk with friends or gamemates. Both of these are very different than Instagram which has largely become what my wall once was on Facebook but not to be confused for Facebook itself where I go to talk with people who aren't very cyber savvy and by extension join Groups targeted at non-cyber savvy demographics (like my HoA's group)
Even in the planning phase, when you have a new project, giving it a name helps in general conversation. It also gives it an exciting mystique and makes it seem like you still give a shit about the job.
Seconded. The actions that can be done with Tornado Cash are specific & finitely-defined: Even if it could be translated into regular banking terms, what Tornado does is not something that a normal bank does, & what Tornado provides is nowhere near the functionality that a regular bank performs for its depositors/lenders.
As far as I know, all HN posts get a "past" button, as soon as they are posted.

I believe that your earlier post doesn't have a "discuss" button because it's in [dead] status. Why it's [dead] I can't say. Your account doesn't seem to be shadow-banned since this post showed up. Maybe the domain of the link is banned (why that would be, I don't know). Or maybe the spam detector just fired a false positive for some totally random reason.

You might want to try emailing hn@ycombinator.com and inquire with the mods. Maybe they can help out.
The US already lost because their economy is flawed, they operate on the "for profit" basis, meanwhile China operate on the "for the country and its people" basis, even if it's centralized with a communist head, it's what allowed them to catchup with the west in record time, it was never about the profits, for the same reason the west is still burning gas and coal and never fully embraced nuclear energy, it was not profitable

"Is AI profitable?", is the question we ask ourselves, wich already puts us behind china, since they don't ask this question to begin with, they do it

>THERE IS NO UNIVERSAL BACK BUTTON! When you need to go back, you have to figure out how the current app wants you to go backwards

I'm not mobile UI/UX guy but it seems like this is just bad app design, no?

I have a android tablet and I'm trying to think if I've ever actually used the back button. In theory, its a great thing to have since it's "universal" but don't most modern apps have better ways to get around?

I'm no apple fan, I've just had iPhone since launch and I never do more than text/email.
There's a second, usually unaddressed question: given these diversity pledge requirements, how should we recalibrate our view of universities?

Suppose universities, as in Volokh's example, required candidates to show what they did to support the war, or required membership in the Party. Later, those universities produce research concluding that the war is justified, and the Party is good. Should we trust those conclusions?

Someone says "universities are overwhelmingly pro-war/Party because those things are true, and smart people are better at finding the truth" - should we find that inference justified?
