Hot Karl Marx posted:https://twitter.com/bldgblog/status...ingawful.com%2F This is a bit overwrought. I work with most of the programs mentioned in the parent article and quote:he researchers admit, they also had to take some serious shortcuts in their proof-of-concept that verge on cheating. Rather than exploit an existing vulnerability in the fqzcomp program, as real-world hackers do, they modified the program's open-source code to insert their own flaw allowing the buffer overflow. Like, ok what they did was cute, but synthesizing DNA into a preconceived sequence is trivial these days. But to get the error to occur they had to make the program involved in compressing the output datafiles more unstable. They go on to point out that there are "3 other common programs" that get used in this type of work that have vulnerabilities that can generate the needed buffer overflow for their stuff to get out into the wild but since they weren't named I am skeptical about how common they actually are or exactly how vulnerable. The whole thing is neat and clever but not really a big deal in regard to actual security.

Yeah we're DINK and should have been in the 1st year to actually itemize taxes for the 1st time ever and lol no not anymore. High state tax blue state also so we are probably fairly boned despite already setting a pretty drat high withholding before the law changed.

mlmp08 posted:I tried some more ecofriendly plant-based cat litter, but the problem is that plant matter soaks up piss and is also prone to clinging to cat fur/paws so you just get pissy plant detritus everywhere. That experiment lasted maybe 2 days. Wife and I have a couple cats and use the wheat-husk scoop stuff that's flushable. It works quite well and containment isn't an issue if you have a litter mat around the box etc. We compost it for the ornamentals garden now that we're on a septic system in the new house.

Fallom posted:A ten hour drive is like an hour and a half flight though Depends though, if you aren't super close to an airport and the closest one is busy then it's say an hour of driving and parking, another 2h of waiting for checkin / security, 1.5h of flying, then tack on whatever your distance from the airport to final destination is. Yeah it's still going to be less than 10h but maybe not quite as bad. For me if it's like 6h or more by train or driving then I consider flying instead. Otherwise, gently caress that.

Sometimes something less than a dollar an hour after the cost of mandatory hairstyling, makeup, nails, etc at cheerleader expense. As a Saints fan, I see no difference. Doc Hawkins posted:You're discounting government funding in medical research. Did we stop doing that? It's a lot worse than it used to be / could be. Recently when we have had big dumps of funding it's in much more tightly focused areas instead of the general pool. So, great if you work on specific cancers or Alzheimers, not great for most other things. Pharma rides the wave of federally funded research training and primary research and then gets out of paying most of their taxes to help fund said primary research. All the while making profits on it which the public funded research never sees. When times get tough for that company they can just move things overseas.

Jarmak posted:That's not how government funding into Pharmaceutical research works at all, which mostly goes to the basic science and target research, the R&D to develop the drugs themselves is done overwhelmingly by the drug companies. 1. The private side takes primary research (almost always publicly funded) and hires trainees from academic labs (almost always publicly funded) and then develops that primary research into applied research. Sometimes this is a huge amount of steps, sometimes it's not much more than finishing up the plan spelled out by the initial primary academic research. 2. Companies put money into R&D only for things that are profitable vs necessary. Just take a look at the last 30 years of antibiotics research for a great example. Over those 30 years while all major private pharma companies just stopped R&D on new antibiotics, they shifted into constant-use drug discovery and marketing for things like statins, SSRIs, Viagra, etc. In the grim dark future we'll have amazing opiates, boner pills and happy drugs but die from sepsis due to a paper cut infected with a superbug.
