Thanks Thomas.

With a team like ISS X-Force, it would be silly to claim there wasn't any hackers involved.

Infact, I'm pretty sure there was quite a few Phrack articles written by ISS employees in their earlier life, under their irc names,,, myself included. ;)

I think most of the content that would have gone into Phrack in early days became posted as commercial vulnerability research later on.

They work if done properly. Get a good family law attorneys who specializes in prenups.
Re:Open Source Ventilator Project on Friday March 20, 2020 @02:29PM (#22640106)
Welcome to Open Source Ventilator (OSV) Ireland. This project was initiated by the COVID-19 global pandemic as a result of a community discussion within a Facebook group called Open Source COVID-19 Medical Supplies (OSCMS). This group rapidly grew and currently is targeting the development of a number of different COVID-19 related medical supplies.

OSV Ireland was formed by Colin Keogh, Conall Laverty & David Pollard, with the goal of building a focused team in Ireland to begin development of a Field Emergency Ventilator (FEV) in partnership with the Irish Health Service. To date we have formed a team of engineers, designers and medical practitioners to develop new, low resource interventions, all working collaboratively online. Bag Valve Masks (BVM), 3D printed and traditionally manufactured components are being considered to maximise potential manufacturing capabilities. We will also include other challenges and problems as they arise from frontline healthcare workers, which we will encourage our volunteers to tackle.

We have a core developer team publishing open source designs with ongoing communication with medical professionals regarding needs requirements, testing and validation processes. The developer team is led by OpenLung in Canada in collaboration with an Irish based engineering and operations team. The developer team is led by Trevor Smale, Dr. Andrew Finkle, and David O’Reilly from OpenLung as well as Conall Laverty and Dr. Keith Kennedy from Ireland. Work is well underway with hundreds of worldwide contributors.

An open-source collaborative ventilator project to tackle challenges faced by #covid19.

3D printed open-source ventilator designed by a team of 500 experts in a week and undergoing testing in Ireland now. If you've got your own 3D printer, consider starting these prints. Hospitals in the U.S. are expected to run out around the first or second week of April. Print some extras- you may need one for your family or friends too.

China has only flatlined because extremely aggressive social distancing. I don't see that in the US occurring.

How should social networks like Facebook and Twitter fight all the disinformation? Seems like it is pervasive.
What kind of premium service on top of this would you suggest?
Is the source code and data available for allowing others to play against this not?
Re:After the War on Drugs: Blueprint for Regulation (2009) on Wednesday December 06, 2017 @08:23AM (#15860856)
If you look at Portugal, who has had the most success in reducing drugs, they decriminalized drugs. Which meant they kept them illegal, but if caught it was equivalent of parking ticket fine, but also if person hit a threshold of too many fines, there was drug addiction therapy required. Decriminalization removes the excessive fines, time in jail, and removes the criminal record black mark.

Atlanta GA has decriminalized marijuana this year. If caught it's a $60 fee only. Previously it was $1000, up to 6 months in jail, and a criminal record.

This decriminalization should be applied to all drugs. This has been proven to work, everywhere it has been tried.

How has the 500 Startup Fund done?
It depends on the question asked... if you ask people whether he did the right thing by exposing the surveillance, 55% yes.

another poll in favor of snowden: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/01/edward-snowden-supp...

if you ask them if he should stand trial, they also agree with that. tweaking the poll question can make a significant difference.

It just shows that this a culture and organizational issue that has been going on for a very long time. Now, it's automated and scaled up.
