Honestly I'd blame CSI type shows for this kind of thing first. The "enhance" schtick has been far too prevalent in media for far too long.

Add a factory at the start, loop the other end back to the factory for maintenance, and you have the original Minuteman concept:

Not sure if it's actually possible to out noncredible cold war nuclear strategists.

I spend half the year adjusting to how hot it is at night and the other how cold it is. One day I'll figure out this sleep thing.

Unfortunately this feels more like posturing than substance.

The stabbing rate in the UK for example is lower than it is in the US per capita. So the idea knives replace guns doesn't really seem to hold

I use Gorillas with Grandparents instead as the performance is much better. Do you know how bad Gumbies looks on your resume? It came out in 2022.

The thing is the whole c program is unsafe. In rust individual parts are marked unsafe. This means auditing should be easier. Also being always on your toes isn't really viable. Breaking down the program into safe vs unsafe is probably an improvment

In cases where bugs have been counted they tended to make up the majority of vulnerabilities. Chrome, Firefox, and Windows reported that around 70% of security vulnerabilites were memory corruption. Yes a subset, but the majority of the worst subset.

Prison would unfortunately not be disqualifying

The feds are actually disturbingly fair about this. You can deduct your legal fees as a business expense.

wikipedia excerpt


While embezzlers, thieves, and the like are forced to report their illegally acquired income for tax purposes, they may also take deductions for costs relating to criminal activity. For example, in Commissioner v. Tellier, a taxpayer was found guilty of engaging in business activities that violated the Securities Act of 1933.[8] The taxpayer subsequently deducted the legal fees he spent while defending himself.[8] The U.S. Supreme Court held that the taxpayer was allowed to deduct the legal fees from his gross income because they meet the requirements of §162(a),[9] which allows the taxpayer to deduct all the "ordinary and necessary expenses paid or incurred during the taxable year in carrying on a trade or business."[10] The Court reasoned (and the Internal Revenue Service did not contest the point) that it was ordinary and necessary for a person engaged in a business to expect to have legal fees associated with that business, even though such things may only happen once in a lifetime.[9] Therefore, the taxpayer in Tellier was allowed to deduct his legal fees from his gross income, even though he incurred the fees because of his crime. The U.S. Supreme Court in Tellier reiterated that the purpose of the tax code was to tax net income, not punish unlawful behavior.[11] The Court suggested that if this was not the case, Congress would change the tax code to include special tax rules for illegal conduct
