Being the one who decides to pay or not pay bounties in our bug bounty program: trust me when I say that the internal discussion, fact finding, classification, quality control, release planning & the rest exceeds your bounty by a factor 10.

Same goes for the dialogs with unhappy hunters who like 'proof' for the arguments that a bug / vulnerability is not there.

There is literally no financial incentive for me at all to not reward, au contraire actually.


THANKS!

Never knew a livestream existed and now I'm clued to my headset.


Exactly this: if your house / environment is well adjusted to the circumstances it makes a much bigger impact on the overall experience then the average temperature.

Switzerland as in my example, is about as close to perfect as I have experienced. Yes we get snow in the winter, yes it get hotish (up to 38C.) in the summer, but the houses and streets and road services are all well capable of handling these fluctuations.

EDIT:

"In Bern, the summers are comfortable and wet, the winters are very cold, and it is partly cloudy year round. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from -4°C to 24°C (in freedoms: 26°F to 76°F) and is rarely below -10°C or above 30°C. (14°F or above 86°F)"

Not so much wanting the other to die, but knowing / wishing it will be the only / first opportunity to make a bid / acquire the object.

People have been doing this since forever to buy real estate too.


Overtaking is a big word, you maybe meant passing? With the keep your lane doctrine that is something to be expected.

Here in Switzerland we are allowed to PASS traffic on the right hand side to (since Jan.01.2021). But you are NOT allowed to overtake, as in change lanes actively.


I admit that I'm not terribly familiar with the correct vocabulary even in my native language. Thanks for pointing that out. I meant passing.


Incredible... I am flabbergasted that 1: this data is collected and shared, 2: there is some good soul who figured out how to gather these sources and make it available to the world.

I would love an app that lets me walk my city, picture trees and expand the data set.


I highly recommend “picture this”. It’s AI tree identification is so good! It doesn’t let you link to open trees though, afaik. Maybe they would be willing to add that.


Tell me more about how you imagine this app working?

(The "good soul")


Take a picture of a tree, have it identified & published with location in / on OpenTrees.


(Un-)fortunately, just photographing a QR code(0) with the mentioned SSID does not work ("Unable to join the network "%p%s%s%s%s%n").

Don't have a quick way to setup a WiFi with the specific SSID ATM. Would be interested to see if that works.

Did you actually set up a WiFi network with that name first, for it to connect to though?


> I wanted to experiment with using Pi's to monitor experimental setups, instead of using full-on PCs as we do now, which would save a ton of money.

Because the costs you think of are but a fraction of the costs that are involved in keeping them accounted for, updated, monitored etc.

I have these discussions with creative individuals far too often :)


We are experimenting with a couple of RASP providers, let me tell you that it does help with certain aspects (of finding issues) but it does not replace the other tooling we are already using.

So the costs / resources are not to be underestimated.

Good thing about many RASP solutions is that they integrate easily into our existing developers processes / tooling, so that's a big endorsement.


Don't tell the people who are convicted / took a plea deal based on "Telco location" this.

As you can tell from your experiment, these locations are... rough to say it nicely. This is truly helpful for the investigating party, since their counterparts are not aware and they can move / interpret your device's location to that point they would like you to be. The accuracy is however... not so great as they will present it to you / the judge.


That's already happened... more than once actually: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/20/world/europe/denmark-cell...
