I don't suppose the term "Asgard" means anything of significance to you, does it?

Do they really, though? I recall there was quite some controversy about that: https://twitter.com/tomscott/status/1076160882873380870

I really like a lot of what Tesla and Musk do, but their PR campaigns are absolutely repugnant. Like in this case where they try to make the NTSB out to be the bad guy when in reality they go completely against accepted NTSB standards in an attempt to control the narrative. It's awful.

Well, yes, online games should be resilient to memory modification, but few are coded perfectly to prevent this (and many games, even AAA MMORPGs like WoW, let the client get away with way more than it should).

The smart thing to do is to look for when tools are actually injecting themselves into your process, not just looking for the presence of the process itself. That is just a completely inept way of going about it.

McAfee comes packaged in the installation of some other software, e.g., Java, where it can easily be installed by mistake if you aren't paying attention.

They are just saying that metastasis occurs more frequently with monitoring as compared to active treatment, not that PSA testing itself causes metastasis.

Part of the Stanford article is highly misleading. They say:

"That study, published in September in The New England Journal of Medicine, revealed that prostate cancer patients randomized to either active monitoring, surgery or radiation therapy all had the same risk of death from the cancer after 10 years. Ninety-nine percent of men in the study survived regardless of initial treatment. These startling results suggest that active monitoring of prostate cancer patients may be as good as early radical treatment and may cause fewer side effects."

In the actual NEJM study they reference, though, the conclusions are the exact opposite:

"...death from prostate cancer occurred in 8 of the 545 men assigned to active monitoring, 5 of the 553 men assigned to surgery, and 4 of the 545 men assigned to radiotherapy"

"For today, we can conclude on the basis of level 1 evidence that PSA monitoring, as compared with treatment of early prostate cancer, leads to increased metastasis. Therefore, if a man wishes to avoid metastatic prostate cancer and the side effects of its treatment, monitoring should be considered only if he has life-shortening coexisting disease such that his life expectancy is less than the 10-year median follow-up of the current study..."

I never understood why security-conscious people would choose to use a service (e.g. Lastpass) that stores all of your passwords in the cloud. Why not just use KeePass instead? Yes, it's a little bit more hassle, but all of the other password managers have been subject to serious exploits like the OPs that put people's data at serious risk of compromise.

Regarding Blizzard passwords: an old acquaintance generated his own SHA-1 hashes for his Battle.net account - which did not resolve to characters which could be input by a regular client - so nobody else would be able to login to his account even if they had the information. Pretty neat.

Looks like it's the second time he's used the maneuver: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36400365

Lync status updates automatically, whereas getting up to open and close a door takes work every time. Plus, it's just a fun little project. Lighten up.

Having played a number of hours of Kerbal Space Program, I can verify that this information is correct.

Interesting. I'm using uBlock Origin 1.5.2 and the site refuses to load.

You seem to imply that all rules are equally as important as one another, while I would say they are not. For example, in a casual game of chess, most would be okay with some of the aforementioned deviations, like taking back a move. I do not think most would accept it if you started moving your pawns around like queens.

>It is your brand that sells your product.

This is backwards - the product sells the brand. Brands do not just come out of nowhere; people have to like the product first before they can establish loyalty.

I still think Win2k was a great operating system and I wish I could go back to it, but you do eventually have to upgrade. I eventually had to upgrade Win2k to Win7 because of the many performance benefits and the lack of support for the OS.

Even though I personally hate literally almost every new feature of Windows 10 and the design of the entire OS, I'm still running it, simply because I get much better performance out of it than I do on Win7 - and I can generally customize my UX.

As someone with an occasional passing interest in playing the piano, Synthesia has been great for me when it comes to learning songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WolqGAgiolM

Of course, it is not exactly a substitute for sheet music, but it is eminently readable to the novice.
