AXA says it successfully fired a "bullet" into Ryugu,
Ryugu responded by issuing a statement this this was a date which will live in infamy, when our peaceful asteroid was suddenly and deliberately attacked by space forces of the Empire of Japan.
INCEL. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Mind you I have no idea what it means either, but I'm guessing it's "the person who repeatedly uses this term in posts is posting while sitting in his mother's basement with his underpants on his head".
That was an interesting thing from one of her interviews, she mentioned that some publication had written an article critical of their tech, based on interviews with industry experts, and had in response offered to go to their offices to demonstrate that it worked. So she was going to send a carefully orchestrated dog-and-pony show to overwhelm some journalists with gee-whiz, using Theranos gear run by Theranos techs and results interpreted by Theranos, in other words where Theranos could produce any result they wanted. Needless to say, the publication turned down the generous offer.
videos of pre-teen mothers feeding freshly plucked aborted foetuses from bottles of heroin with blazing pentagrams on them while being sodomized by German shepherds
I have so many highly conflicted feelings about this video...
So you've seen it too? What did you think about the scene with the kittens and the meat grinder?
RISC-V is even worse, it has the problem that Linus is complaining about with Arm, but this time as a design feature. RISC-V is the ultimate Chinese menu architecture, once you go past the basics and then the A, M, F/D and possibly C instructions you have no idea what you're going to get. This SoC has decided they want to implement this, this, and this, and the next one instead does that, that, and the other. The much-touted "modular instruction set" is great on a whiteboard during a sales pitch, but terrible for deployment if you've got to deal with heterogenous hardware from multiple vendors, all of whom have chosen to implement different features. There's barely enough RISC-V out there to see what will happen and probably won't be for some time, but when you see "modular instruction set" you really need to read it as "special-snowflake architecture" where each vendor gets to add their own customisations which, in typical we-need-to-be-different style will be incompatible with every other vendor's customisations.
Yup. Cambridge Analytica had nothing except creepy manipulation of the public. Youtube has cat videos and highly accurate PC assembly videos and world's funniest skateboard accidents and mom videos and whatnot, nothing can stop people going there. Even if they showed videos of pre-teen mothers feeding freshly plucked aborted foetuses from bottles of heroin with blazing pentagrams on them while being sodomized by German shepherds, people would still go to the site because of everything else on there.
I hope it does. Like Wikipedia is for any proper noun, Pinterest is the toxic tarpit of image search, pretty much any search result is poisoned by a bunch of clickbait Pinterest links that give you nothing beyond the clickbait image itself.
Although Swiss Post claims the system has undergone three audits by auditing giant KPMG
Oh, and there's another problem: You get your code audited by an accounting firm if you need to say you've passed an audit, not if you want to detect vulns in it.
Still reading, but it looks like a howto on how not to build a secure product. I expect the Verge will do a voting system build video on it in the near future.
the Barcelona-based company Scytl, which was formed by a group of academics who spun it off of their research work at the Universidad AutÃnoma de Barcelona
That's why. It's academic-grade code, which means it's (a) incredibly, massively, unnecessarily complex, (b) at a most charitable level, "experimental code", and (c) has been run on a single test case by a caffeineated grad student at 3am. Never, ever, ever put academic-grade code into production even if it's for use in a benign environment. If you're expecting serous attacks on it, make sure you're in another country when it's actively deployed.
Not just QNX, there are a whole pile of kernels designed for safety-critical systems. Creating one of these requires a massive amount of work, look at the AUTOSAR or ARINC 653 requirements for example. You need to design, engineer, and build this from the start, you can't just decide to take an existing generic kernel and change a few lines of code to make it suitable for safety-critical applications.
You can't test the lion-killing theory but you can test the horsefly theory, so that's what gets tested. Sort of like the drunk looking for his dropped keys waaaaay over there because there's a street light at that spot.
The Greeks invented ballistic missiles? I guess that's why both the Americans and Soviets grabbed all the Greek rocket scientists after WWII to start their own ballistic missile programs.
And Werner Von Braun hanged the five slowest Jewish slaves in front of his rocket factory to get them to work faster
You forgot to mention the bit where his eagerness to get to the moon was to retrieve the remains of the Nazi scientists who ended up marooned there in 1945 when the war ended.
They actually got it less wrong than the Verge did, e.g. correctly fitting fans to the radiator, even if it was done Verge style. So a deliberate wrong build was less wrong than the Verge's version.
That's what I thought too, the original video is so bad it must be a parody. Let's see, in the first 30 seconds or so, if you have a metal table you need an anti-static mat because of all the static that builds up on a metal table but apparently not on the laminate/plastic-surface one he's using, the "tweezers" that are actually a zip tie, and an anti-static bracelet that's a livestrong bracelet by the looks of it. This has to be a parody...

The Greeks invented ballistic missiles? I guess that's why both the Americans and Soviets grabbed all the Greek rocket scientists after WWII to start their own ballistic missile programs.
the shiningest star among this group is Korea, which began cutting up boys' penises after the Americans occupied their country.
Tiger penises too hard to come by, I guess...
There is no such thing as "from scratch" in engineering. They have stood on the shoulders of giants in case your nazi ass missed it
Actually, in the case of rocketry, most of the world stood on the shoulders of Nazis, in case your giant ass missed it.
And Werner Von Braun hanged the five slowest Jewish slaves in front of his rocket factory to get them to work faster
You forgot to mention the bit where his eagerness to get to the moon was to retrieve the remains of the Nazi scientists who ended up marooned there in 1945 when the war ended.

I think the Verge was trying to emulate this video, but accidentally forgot to mention that it was a HOWnotTO.
