Receiving a burst of (invalid) "auth bypass vulnerability" submissions in which the reporters just copy-paste the victim's JWT in the attacker browser. I'm suspecting a trending video on @YouTube šŸ¤” #BugBounty

@k8em0 It is very funny to imagine someone walking around doing normal things saying "no one man should have this much power", e.g. eating the last pretzel, using a garage door opener, etc. šŸ˜†

I was lucky to work with Peter for years at @EFF. I’ll always remember how every week he’d tell us all about his crazy plan to encrypt the whole internet by offering certs to every site for free. No one believed it would work—but he somehow pulled it off. An indelible legacy.

This is a slightly unusual tale of misinformation centred around a disastrous battle that leaves 80 US army men dead in the West. You won’t believe what happens next!

Subscribe now

The commander of the fort is scapegoated by the army. He determines to clear his name by framing the events as reckless behavior from the men’s arrogant company commander.

The events are framed to shift blame onto the commander by crafting the truth into a narrative. Emphasizing some facts and glossing over others to tell a specific story about what happened. The narrative proves so successful that it becomes the dominant history of the event.

I occasionally get correspondence, so let me state this clearly: NO, THE NAZIS COULD NOT HAVE MADE AN ATOMIC BOMB IN WW2. They were not *close* to it. They were nowhere *near*. Here are several reasons why.

I love some of the details. Like, the US was short on copper due to the war, so they wired a Uranium enrichment plant with silver.

5.They didn’t have the resources. Uranium enrichment was a factory-scale operation. The US ended up, at Y-12, using 14,700 tons of silver from the US reserve as copper was in short supply (they later returned it). The Germans didn’t have anything like this.

I've been covering bad parts of the internet for long time now. For years, there was one site extremist researchers warned me not to cover because publicizing it would be dangerous. But it's time people know KiwiFarms—and how they're chasing political enemies around the world.
