I'm gonna teach Application Security at NYU!
Thanks @Google for being flexible and @nyuniversity for the opportunity.

@cigitalgem @philvenables Here's the middle of the Hudson Yards building for comparison

Don't trust the information you receive from an account (on any platform) just because it has a few hundred thousand followers.

@Sciencenature14 No, that's not true. It's the Barnard cloud and it's dust. Dust absorbs visible light and hence it looks dark to us.

If you observe it in infrared light, you will see all the stuff you would 'bump into'.

And for my next trick, I'm gonna create an absolutely essential deep learning model that predicts the result of √16 with 99.6% accuracy.

Just came up with a new type of attack and named it "search history poisoning attack":
Write a quote and say it's from a not-so-famous version of Justine Bieber ... and viola!
Next day the victim is getting news about "a piece of graffiti reportedly done by The Kid Laroi".

Amazing rendered video by @dicegangctf for the Engraver challenge from Google CTF 2022. As the challenge author, I have to say that this is just pure awesomeness👏

[DiceGang @dicegangctf]

Does your CTF team have a digital graphics department? DiceGang does. Here's how we solved `engraver` from Google CTF: https://t.co/WKjgm241ct

Expedition Happiness was a realistic (yet nice) traveling documentary. I really liked that they didn't try to sugarcoat the challenges of leisure travel. Highly recommended even though they are not professional filmmakers.

@LiveOverflow Thought you're pregnant for a sec.

One more reason to thoroughly research any company that pays above market rate salaries.

All fun and games until you are not allowed to use them at your workplace. Then you'll start to desperately look for open source alternatives that never cover the features you need. (seriously, I like Notion)

[vijay verma @realvjy]

After Notion, Cron has become another favorite app of mine. Together, they help you stay organized and more productive. I like the @Cron very much because it's clean and minimal, just like @NotionHQ 😍

Have few #invite to giveaway, comment below 🗓

Apparently Ryzen 7 6000 series has a pretty good battery life (24 to 29 hours according to different blogs and articles). Considering even half of that (marketing), we may finally have some good non-Apple laptops around (I don't care for macOS).

@kimb3r__ and happy birthday!

[Vafa Andalibi @vafandal]

@kimb3r__ There you go :)

I wrote a post which tries to explain why Jonathan's paper on Catalangate is wrong and dangerous (and why I care about this).

@jonathandata1 @citizenlab @amnesty By 11.8% he means 1 participant. The "study" had a total of 9 participants.

Jonathan Scott is a great academician. Can't think of anyone who can teach Career Suicide 101 better than this guy.

[Vafa Andalibi @vafandal]

@shortxstack Read it "Scum", and was thinking for a few seconds what is wrong with using sticky notes??

Great writeup for the Engraver challenge from Google CTF 2022:

This was the first challenge I ever designed for Google CTF and when I was designing it, I never thought someone would solve it with such a nice visualization! Hope you liked it @szymex73 :)
