"We disabled PIE on nodejs for a 0.3% perf win on an obsolete register-starved architecture that is used by nobody"
nodejs linux official builds are no-pie by default for perf reasons. some distributions like debian/alpine rebuild node, which can enable pie
here's a tracking issue for it: github.com/nodejs/node/issue…

I just went to write a tweet and a massive hand popped up pointing to the promote button 😵💫

I got confirmation that the original version just had an index.html. So there never was any php code executed hahaha.
But they added now an actual .php file (like 18h after they started the challenge. So the 21 hours without successful hack is misleading)
Now it should be exploitable.
But of course it’s incredibly hard to do so when the service gets hammaered and crashing like crazy. Keep in mind, tons and tons of php service don’t get hammered like this. So if somebody gets it now, then that’s actually crazy!

Companies go public in the year of our Lord 2026 so as to raise growth capital for expanding operations and definitely NOT to generate exit liquidity for their venture/growth backers and hence why the unlock schedule is very simple and straightforward per the below

Turns out that if everyone was paid the same, saved the same amount, made the same on their investments, and worked & lived the same amount of time…
… people 65+ would have 74% of the wealth.
Surprised? Welcome to Equal Land.

What makes this depressing is that it theoretically met NIMBY criteria.
Aesthetic, built with local stone, provides cheap groceries during a cost-of-living crisis. All built *literally* on an empty grass field.
But, no dice. They don't actually want to build anything at all.

These bans deputize random busybodies into hall monitors, replacing communities built by people who contribute with hierarchies ruled by people who have nothing to offer but the power to stop others.

“a convicted murderer... who will never pass the good character requirements to practice”
*Monkey's paw curls*
McGill’s law school receives roughly 1,500 applications for just 180 spots.
It gave one of those spots to a convicted murderer in his mid-60s, who will never pass the good character requirements to practice, and who violated his parole multiple times.

While Zucman ponders why on earth billionnaires would react to a one-time 5% wealth tax and consider leaving California, back in France, his mentor is advocating for a combined package of 800bn euros, including a 50% tax on all gains exceeding 100 millions over the past 10 years.

It's the same pretty much everywhere with rent controls. A story from Berlin:
True in Spain too. Every landlord in Madrid and Barcelona screens the renters now. This is an obvious consequence of rent control. The most vulnerable, ostensible protected by the legislation, are in fact excluded from the rental market: if you cannot be evicted for non payment, then you are too risky a renter.
Longhorn retweeted
rent control as commonly implemented is straightforward incumbency protection which naturally advantages old people and those who will not have to upgrade housing when they get jobs or start families

Its funny seeing how conversations about multi tenanted hypervisors not being able to truly isolate tenants due to hardware side channels are now becoming common due to AI , when anyone who has seriously been in that area has known this for years.

"Years earlier, [Romney had] bumped into Zach Braff on a flight and the sitcom actor had given him a useful piece of advice: for most not-quite-A-list celebrities, a simple baseball cap and a pair of reading glasses were usually enough to avoid being spotted in public."

Just such a fun chart here from @greg_ip. If only we could tease out some meaning. Ah, well, nevertheless. 🤣
