Anyone have recommendations for learning material in regards to building elixir bindings for existing C code? After coming across this technique, it makes sense why certain libraries meant for Nerves all seem to look the same haha.

I'd rather not...

I didn't go to Harvard.

Slower clap...

Why is this relevant in any context to this thread? Congratulations - you are now on a high horse made of marble.

His solution to "not using Uber because it's a security nightmare" was literally to bum a ride from someone in the audience who happened to be my friend.

He also had this hilarious policy / agreement with ACM to have some kid giving him a new glass of tea every 1.4 minutes or something. It was petty and weird.

Slow clap...

I think more people need to realize that the buzz / bullshit around "startups" in this day and age is used significantly to trick naive noobies / NCG's into working insane hours with sub-par pay and sometimes no benefits.

All under the guise of "changing the world" or "disrupting". IMO, people who take time to think about things and implement solutions at a reasonable pace are just as productive if not more productive than people who feel like they always have to be "pushing".

I honestly believe that in this day and age Richard Stallman's way of viewing computing is haplessly out of touch and no longer relevant.

I say this as someone who saw him talk to my cambridge / boston area university's ACM group, afterwords he bummed a ride from my friend back to MIT. He dismissed most questions from students and while we were riding back in my friend's car (with Richard Stallman in the front seat) he basically didn't answer any questions and just argued semantics.

I love Richard Stallman and what he stands for, but I think we need to re-evaluate how we digest and understand his opinions on computing in current times.

I grew up in Austin and I honestly never found the OG Salt Like to be that great...

Franklins is good - but I sure as hell wouldn't wait hours in line for their brisket...

Ofc this got flagged...

Interesting muzzle device, definitely makes sense that this method of removing lionfish is more efficient and cost-effective (less time to actually kill and remove invasive fish / more kills per hour) than spear-fishing.

But monitoring software really wouldn't detect this...?

The article did mention something around the lines of "the compromised machines could talk to other compromised machines on a network" so I guess the idea is to find a compromised machine close enough to an edge network to reach a C&C server?

Can someone flag this garbage?

I'm giddy to read this paper in full. These claims are nuts...

Depends on the stage. If you're super early - and not a founder you'll be expected and might have to work grueling hours (although be aware you'll likely never see those hours turn into $$$).

If the company has money, 3-4 months burn is reasonable, long hours can be a nuisance and make everyone less efficient and more prone to introducing bad ideas or bugs that waste time late.

Couldn't this all be easily thwarted with a relatively basic firewall and network analysis of traffic emanating from a data-center?

Also - I found it funny that the "horrific exploit" was just piggybacking on a mgmt engine vuln...

Why wouldn't you just pay your publicist to write it?

Probably runs *nix at 30% the speed of windows... very sad :(

Wow, this is disgusting. I still can't believe how limited my options with Visa and BofA were to opt out of data mining...

Easy for a lame-duck to say...

If pay started at $10 per hour and you had an incredible amount of staff to find actually talented people, this is maybe a bad idea. If you thought you'd "disrupt" hiring at your small company this could be a solid company-ending idea...

Perfect, I just need to carry a punch that's able to puncture the battery...

Immediately cause your mobile device to self-immolate on demand!

This is exactly the kind of feature you don't want...

I mentioned this because I know multiple people who've had authy / other authenticators compromised down the line from social engineering attacks. Even if you can be alerted, usually it's too late by the time you realize what's happened to your creds.

Hence, the hammer.

Seems like the only logical solution is to carry a hammer to destroy your phone if necessary.

If the heat hasn't told you they want your phone, there's nothing legally stopping you from destroying your own property if you see them coming...

Having any serious amount of money and being showy or grandiose about it is asking for trouble...

Only rich morons actually need armed security as a result of their social media habits emanating from a pathetically desperate ego.

I think both would do the world quite a bit of good...

It's still absurd to me that it's nearly impossible to prevent BofA and other institutional banking companies from sharing this information.
