Sorry but I don't quite understand your comment. What do the chemical underpinnings of evolution have to do with AGI?

We humans are defined by our DNA, so are we not by definition the fittest carrier for it?

I think the more interesting question would be, how much data do they retain on you if you close your account?

Indeed it was, I was offering my own considered opinion, not some absolute universal truth.

No surprise such opinions don't go down favourably on HN though. Amidst all the interesting technical and scientific discussion, there are disappointing overtones of wealth worship, and a weird cult-like following of billionaire entrepreneurs.

I don't see what other response he could have reasonably expected from Microsoft, given that his complaints were about the iOS Exchange connector, and actually had nothing to do with Exchange Server.

Before Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to copy and paste, the usual method was Ctrl+Ins and Shift+Ins (and Shift+Del for cut), so this key did have a lot of use back in the day. These key combinations still work in most Windows software.

Such hideously wasteful extravagance, and how sad that these people who are already absurdly rich are still greedy for more.

The post-fork canary value could be paired with the stack pointer at which it became valid. If not valid, the process could walk a linked list of pre-fork canary and stack pointer pairs, to find the correct value to use. Would be interesting to see the performance hit on such an approach.

Perhaps OpenBSD should consider randomizing the per-process stack canary value upon fork().

A sensible business decision by Cloudflare, and a fine moral stand to take. There is nothing positive to be gained by servicing such neo-Nazi websites, and Cloudflare is under no obligation to keep them as customers.

Similarly, the Daily Stormer is free to take their custom to a provider who turns a blind eye to or supports their toxic ideology.

If it works inside a VM, an attacker could potentially cause a widespread denial of service on cloud computing platforms like Azure and AWS.

One exception may be if you could steal an authenticated pointer to a buffer that's about to have some generated machine code written to it (e.g. for JIT execution), and use that to write your own arbitrary code instead.

The exploits were released yesterday and the linked article says they have all been patched.
