Leaving Tokyo now. Some observations:
- "Thing, Japan" is 100% real.
- They're very conscientious.
- For a mega-city, every street is clean and well-planned.
- Mishima's consumerist critique is accurate.
- Coming here gave me foreigner's envy and made me more fascist.
"For no reason"
I used to take my team out to a brazilian all-you-can-eat steakhouse every month. It was great, one of my favorite restaurants of all time, and everyone else loved it too. We'd eat so much meat everytime that we felt like our hearts were gonna stop.
Then one day I had an indian guy thrust into our team by the hiring department. And as usual that month, i took my team, including the new indian guy, out to the restaurant. The next day, I got a call from HR asking if I took my team to a steakhouse. I said yeah, we do it every month. They said i cant do it anymore because the indian guy complained. It wasnt that there was nothing for him to eat, obviously im not that big of an asshole that i'd take my team somewhere that one of them cant eat, thats terrible for morale. They had plenty of vegetarian options for him. The problem was that he was a hindu so he didnt like seeing people eat cows. He said it was offensive and that we'd done it on purpose to harass him.
So one indian guy ruined a team tradition we'd been doing for 8 years, long before he got there, just by claiming "discrimination". Why? Because he was totally and completely culturally incompatible with us and should have never been allowed in the fucking country.
Shit like that is why i hate indians, not "for no reason", mr "weinstein".
We are underestimating the bad faith eMudhra possibly operated in. They actively added a step to the key generation process causing this failure but are making it seem like a dumb mistake. Let me explain with diagrams and python snippets 👇
we've found and have been working on disclosure for a remote code execution in a widely-deployed compression library.
it's both an impactful issue and an example that shows how complicated it can be to coordinate patching, since it's integrated into a lot of downstream software:
This can be bewildering to Americans because even those who abuse these systems know it is inappropriate.
For many Indians, it never registers. This is just normal to them. We have to consider that in India, they are praised for their ability to abuse public services.
It’s actually the opposite. The rest of the world stupidly trusted a foreign, Indian CA whose incompetent practices are permanently facilitating MITM attacks. Millions of EOL devices are vulnerable, forever.
