dangero··on Minecraft enters real world with $110M global theme park deal
To contrast this, Super Nintendo World initial investment was $351M to open just the first Japan location while this $110M is expected budget for first two Minecraft locations. Gives a concept of scope —- relatively low budget minimal project, which given the popularity of Minecraft this seems like a conservative experiment.

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is today.
dangero··on FBI using push notification tokens to identify anonymous users
I wouldn’t be surprised if this was parallel reconstruction. They might have used this approach to mask a honeypot they have or a much simpler tracing scheme because this approach is time consuming and complicated dealing with a warrant to multiple companies in sequence.

dangero··on “X” Didn’t Pay Severance. Now It’s Facing 2,200 Cases – and Big Fees
Power imbalances still exist. The problem is, if I have a contract with Google that is 80% of my small business revenue and they pay me late, what recourse do I have? It's a constant negotiation of who has the willingness to walk away. If they pay me late, I'll likely not complain because the money is big for me. I don't want to rock the boat.

Now if the gov told Google they could receive a massive fine for paying late, they would stop doing it.

Google doing this would just give them a monopoly on fingerprinting Android users
dangero··on Prompt injection explained, with video, slides, and a transcript
I would not be surprised if this already happens on the OpenAI back end but the attack surface is immense and false positives will damage the platform quality, so it will be hard to solve 100% given we have no concept of how many ways it can be done.
dangero··on Yellen says government will help SVB depositors but rules out bailout
This bank run happened based on fear of the scenario we are now in. No bank can withstand a bank run due to fractional reserve ratios.

If the depositors lose big then that will increase this fear going forward.

In other words, if all depositors are covered there is no longer a substantial fear of a bank run elsewhere. That’s how it stops it from happening again.

dangero··on I quit infosec and I couldn't be happier
The CISO gets blamed and fired because it’s a language that shareholders understand. You think shareholders are going to understand that the CISO enabled others to make secure choices?
dangero··on The PS2’s Backwards Compatibility from the Engineer Who Built It
All state of the art game engines are multi-game iterations because the number of features and complexity is so large that it cannot be done for a single game any more
dangero··on The PS2’s Backwards Compatibility from the Engineer Who Built It
curious why you don't think Naughty Dog is a hardcore software development house now

they have their own state of the art game engine with cutting edge features

dangero··on SkillzTruth - Proof of concept demonstrating how to cheat on Skillz apps
they claim to have very sophisticated anti-cheat tech that he was able to overcome with a simple MITM attack

This is from their IPO S-1:

"We collect over 300 data points during each gameplay session to feed our big data assets which augment all elements of our platform. Our key data science technologies drive our player rating and matching, anti-cheat and anti-fraud, and user experience personalization engine."

dangero··on Nobody Has My Condition but Me
My issues respond to immune system suppression drugs that are ill advised for long term use like Prednisone.
dangero··on Nobody Has My Condition but Me
I have an unexplained autoimmune disease.

Like others have said, I can't imagine any doctor actually going this deep with me.

I've probably seen 20 doctors, but none of them have taken me very seriously at all. Some prescribe me something and say "see if that helps," others flat out say, "I'm not sure what is going on here and I don't know how to help you," but nobody has said, "We should consider looking at your DNA to see what's up here. I'm really interested and want to figure this out with you."

dangero··on Don't store TOTP in Bitwarden for your online accounts (2022)
The major use case for putting TOTP into a password manager is the ability to share the account in a company or family setting.

For example, some social media accounts don't support multiple users and so you either need a shared company phone for 2FA or you can put TOTP into the company password manager along with the password. I see no workaround for this. I guess you could have a separate company 2FA system that is shared like let's say you use 1pass for passwords and bitwarden for 2FA, but still, local machine exploit will gain access to both.

dangero··on Ask HN: How to move from traditional tech into game dev?
We are OK with missing out on some people because we cannot clearly evaluate their ability

I don’t care how long it took. Longer would demonstrate a sustained interest. Shorter would demonstrate efficiency. Both are valuable
