I would’ve done the same thing. When death camps are on the table, you fight as hard as you can.

I don’t like the feature bundling. If there’s a way to pick and choose the features I want, I’ll be happy. We’ll see how this gets implemented on real devices.

Twitter speed run.

They’ll send you to the Gulag here even if you didn’t commit a crime.

Is it naive for me to hope that they would?

I just have a hard time understanding how people look at these situations and think: yes, this is good and right. This is showing compassion.

Sandy is a great name.

I only pray that the innocent can avoid the death camps. Lord have mercy on our souls.

Not doing this would require not being an idiot, which is simply too much to ask of the USA lately.

Getting lung cancer and brain damage to own the libs.

If the Nazis don’t like you, you’re doing something right.

Why should the administration respond to Congress any more than they should respond to my local boys and girls club? Are they actually going to do something?

With better infrastructure and fast charging that shouldn’t be a big deal. I mean, we don’t have that infrastructure today, but ideally the gargantuan battery mode isn’t where we stay in the extreme long-term.

It could make a great town car.

I get to spend a surprising amount of time reading and writing assembly. I consider myself so lucky to be able to do this, and it’s true that after enough time you start seeing through it. The human mind is excellent at finding and seeing patterns. Code is no exception. It’s just another kind of data. Even the different compilers have their own flavor after a while.

Curious to me that you began in Basic; my experience is that people continue to see their first language in other languages for some time, and the best reverse engineers I’ve met usually start with something unusual. My hypothesis is that when you start in a weird place, it brings all others closer together so that they appear not so different from each other. The distance between the top of the mountain of code and the deepest valley of flat data doesn’t seem so great if you start with, say, Lisp and you never considered that lists weren’t both code and data.

I come from Matlab, and to this day I can’t see memory as anything but matrices.

I am often working as reverse engineer professionally and I also feel that mindset is half the battle–a willingness to see everything as data and to look inside to see what is there. Like digital spelunking.

Google can already push apps to your phone at will via their remote installation service. How does this create or open a backdoor?

Better late than never. We shouldn’t strive to produce garbage, and that’s exactly what phones with less internal storage are made to be.

Hope we’ll see them again.

An accident, or a test?
