Haven’t you considered that the fact you were exposed to these things made you who you are today am able to say that with conviction. If you had been shielded from the reality on human extremism you would not.

Make it so the list refreshes (shows new entires) every N seconds when it is focused. Easy.

Oh no. Someone can view cctv data and delete it. Always blown out of proportion. The likelihood of someone a) committing a crime or otherwise b) knowing there was this specific brand of camera software being run on a camera in that area c) knowing how to access these portals

Is basically zero.

Digiboy is a treasure trove of enterprise software. Where else would I get a pirated hpe ilo license from?

Stand at one of the poles. Walk to the equator, turn 90 degrees. Walk 1/4 the way around the equator, turn 90 degrees again. Then walk back to the pole. A triangle with sum 270 degrees!

I hardly think binary search is an unknown algorithm even by beginner standards for someone from a completely different field

I don’t think it is DNS. The DNS A records were 2h before they announced it was DNS but _after_ reporting it was a DNS issue.

This was a devops exploit because they used the same env for building the app as they did for the test code. Many miss this entirely and think it is because a binary was shipped.

Ideally a test env and a build env should be entirely isolated should the test code some how modify the source. Which in this case it did.

Can we remove the 18yo from the title. It is completely unnecessary.

Thanks. The fact that this got flagged and removed is rather apt.
