I imagine WASM and WebGL/WebGPU combined with a responsive mobile design could replace a large percentage of what is locked into each ecosystems app store. The ultra-intrusive ad frameworks baked into most popular *.apks are probably too tempting for developers to just drop though.

I remember coming here on 9/11 for news because every other major site was down or loading slow.

This was my first thought as well! Getting signals around damage and restoring function, or creating amazing prosthetics. Can't wait to see the applications that are developed with this tech.

Many garbage dumps flare off methane to prevent explosions. Biogas generators hooked up to ASICs could be profitable long term as the market recovers: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fm.alibaba.com%2Fproduct%2F60367248787%2F1-5kw-Home-Use-Biogas-Generator.html

So very true:

It is amazing the number of ways we are tracked that don't require an IP address at all. Attacks higher up the protocol stack, applied together, provide a more accurate tracking tool. Even TAILS in a VM (https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftails.boum.org%2Finstall%2F) is no guarantee: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcoveryourtracks.eff.org%2F The lack of the usual fingerprints, makes your connection stand out like a car with no plates. A router that routinely randomized your device fingerprint from a set of common USER_AGENTS, fonts, plugins, visited links, etc would at least feed these guys trash data: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffingerprint.com%2F

I had the same question. Looks like AlphaFold2 only gives part of the answer to the protein folding problem:

If that is true, it will be interesting to see how these two projects can coordinate with each other to focus their efforts on the missing pieces.

Forbes story with more details about the company:

From last year, Ghost Robotics already has a military version. It would be interesting to know how accurate it is, and what its maximum range is. I feel like we're one generation of advancements in battery tech away from a very different battlefield. Obligatory proof that Matt Groening routinely predicts the future: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fm.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DoazwTDeqF54

A couple decades ago we had decentralized FTP search: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.m.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FArchie_(search_engine)

We were on the right path back then. The original incarnation of the World Wide Web never spawned the same kind of "distributed searchable index" server. Every popular search engine has been centralized with custom web crawlers to build a massive proprietary index. And Google managed to effectively monetize search and all but corner the market. Maybe a useful blockchain application would be to let web masters (with the usual proof of domain ownership via DNS TXT record) submit a URL for a site index of their respective sites, then the incentive to run a node and the equivalent of "mining" would be to verify the TXT records and check for broken links in the submitted site indexes, for some reward token. Then those tokens could be spent (with greater sums returning faster results) to search the blockchain for indexed web content. Anything would be better than the monopoly we have now.

Found the repo and the first script:

https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fnccgroup%2Fnmap-nse-vulnerability-scripts%2Fblob%2Fmaster%2Fsmtp-vuln-cve2020-28017-through-28026-21nails.nse

I enjoy the assumption that Exim (or postfix, or sendmail, etc..) sometimes lives on tcp/586 lol

I guess I could take the time to issue a pull request and change that to 587, or maybe just send them an RFC:

https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rfc-editor.org%2Frfc%2Frfc6409.html

They do get credit for listing at least one false positive / false negative right in the script.

Can't wait to see the rest of these :)

I built a SLOT-A Athlon system in 2000 just to be part of the 1GHz club: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cpu-world.com%2FCPUs%2FK7%2FAMD-Athlon%25201000%2520-%2520AMD-K7100MNR53B%2520A.html

I still remember doing kernel compiles on it in Slackware and just being shocked at how much faster it was than my Pentium II 233MHz system.

I got that same feeling last year going to Threadripper, 20 years later. AMD might not always keep the performance lead, but when they take it, they take it with style.

From here: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tomshardware.com%2Freviews%2Fintel-cascade-lake-xeon-optane%2C6061.html

"Instead of being socketed processors, the 9200-series processors come in a BGA (Ball Grid Array) package that is soldered directly to the host motherboard via a 5903-ball interface."

Who is excited to attempt RMA'ing a $10k to $20k Motherboard?

Intel has been on this train for a while now:

Guess it's time to go AMD for all our server builds, or invest in a cheap Rework Station:

http://bit.ly/rework_station

Forward the ports to 0.0.0.0 and you don't have to worry about someone allocating that internal IP for a future project years from now.

I redid the test script Akamai wrote so it executes without error under macOS: http://rkdn.app/upnp.sh

Combined that with the home brew build of upnpc and rooted out one ASUS Wifi router at work that needed a firmware update.

It would be interesting to see what others are finding on their own LANs.

Those of us who can manage our own tech are a rounding error compared to the number of vulnerable devices out there,
but at least we can protect ourselves from this mess.

Universal Plug and Play was the penultimate example of trading security for compatibility,
and it should have died a long time ago..

Obviously, not a solution for every case. But in many, many cases, these are all you need to stop the scourge of "Plugspreading". As an aside, if this term has not yet been co-opted by the adult community, clearly this post will be its genesis. I expect an entire category on pornhub within weeks!
