Making something useful doesn’t require genius. You simply have to be just reckless enough to get started, just smart enough to understand the problem, just dumb enough not to overcomplicate the solution, and just stubborn enough to keep going until you get there.

In "Dependency Confusion," security researcher Alex Birsan describes how he made a fortune in bug bounties by exploiting a new supply-chain attack he calls "dependency confusion," which allowed him to compromise "Apple, Microsoft and dozens of others."

Dependency Confusion is incredibly, delightfully clever. It is grounded in the fact that software developers rely on "dependencies" (prebuilt, modular code libraries) when they build new versions of their software.

Fizzy Water Fans: If, hypothetically, you owned a Carbonating Device from a Popular At-Home Fizzy Beverages Company that has, at times, been "somewhat to extremely problematic", I am here to tell you that this company in Wisconsin will refill your CO2 canisters by mail:

I'm once again wanting to just try out a raspberry pi emulator so I can play with MagicMirror - I might get more free time soon to do projects...
Having a hypothesis keeps you from seeing the gorilla in your #data. A brilliantly executed idea https://genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13059-020-02133-w
I also love the semi mystical complements of day #science and night science - and the importance of #visualization
Denzel Curry – Bulls on Parade
It’s nice to see young artists cover classic rock hits and make them their own.

Week 2206
Politics
I donated money to the Alex Morse campaign, a progressive candidate who's trying to unseat Richard Neal, a greedhead Democrat. That happened earlier, but recently it appears that there was a sex scandal accusation against Morse. He's accused of having consensual sex with adult students at the university he te

I'm loving this screaming descent off a precipice. 2020 theme music! Whatever wild genre this and Holy Fuck belong in, I'm into that.

Good 'ol Marcus
"When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: The people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous, and surly. They are like this because they can’t tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own—not of the same blood or birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him. We were born to work together like feet, hands, and eyes, like the two rows of teeth, upper and lower. To obstruct each other is unnatural. To feel anger at someone, to turn your back on him: these are obstructions."
