Assuming input is from a benign source is literally the cause every single security issue ever. It's bizarre that I've been downvoted for this. And you're commenting about how I'm wrong without even reading the code. I seriously don't understand this site.

It's weird that over the course of 7 hours no one on a site called Hacker News noticed that send_email.cpp passes unsanitized user-supplied args to system(). I've spent less than 5 minutes looking at this code, so maybe that's the worst of it. But if 5 minutes of investigation found 1980's style bugs I doubt that's the worst of it.

This is rather odd. Knee cartilage damage is extremely common among athletes, so one would think that the treatment would be as well. But I've never heard of it used for professional athletes.

Speaking anecdotally, I've had 4 wrist surgeries over the past 5 years (coming up on my fifth next week). I've never once heard of the stem-cell injection treatment, despite having 3 surgeons and 9+ other consulting doctors. Did your doctor give you any papers to describe the procedures that made his knee "all better now"?

For the most part savings from labor should reduce prices and in the aggregate, "all of us" do share in the benefit. Now obviously there is no guarantee of that, but competition will likely result in a good portion of savings passed to the customer (e.g. if FedEx drops prices UPS will have to do so as well).

Indeed, and I'm almost positive that I've seen models other than the C90s. I didn't realize that they were toting real passengers, though. I thought they were just Alpha Tests As Marketing. Given that they made this announcement the day after Google announced Waymo, I'm now convinced that's what they are, but I guess with real passengers?

And Black-Scholes just codified what seasoned options traders had understood for centuries. The reason it was important and rewarded is exactly that codification, which enables rapid understanding to a wider audience.

Discovering something new is exciting and important. Explaining that discovery in a way usable by the rest of humanity is ground-breaking.

There is no cost-effective way to get residential earthquake insurance in the Bay Area.

> Interesting yes, but "novel"? I'm not sure.

It's not. And I don't know anything about SentinelOne so maybe they're amazing, but being stymied by dynamic analysis of VBScript malware seems, um, odd.

That's an odd slippery slope argument to make on a site called "Hacker News."

> So a spammy email in one of the thousands leaked happened to contained malware? And this is newsworthy why?

Because it's another example of the unconscionable lack of attention to detail that Wikileaks pays when putting out these dumps. Not quite at the level of outing gay Saudis and rape victims (putting them at risk of death), but still just very amateurish.

I think you may be misremembering the medication. I take 1200mg of Gabaptentin/day for ulnar neuropathy; I don't think that 75mg would accomplish anything.

And FWIW I code all day long.

Population growth in the US is approaching 0.7% annually and has been declining for 2 decades. Not sure what scaling needs you foresee.

> To my utter surprise, something as stupidly simple as coffee blended with butter with coconut oil (or MCT) first thing in the morning did unbelievable things for mental productivity.

Eat food. Mostly plants. Not too much. If that doesn't work for you, talk to a doctor.
