Pretty cool "naturally randomized" experiment: the right to buy a car in Beijing is determined by lottery. Win that lottery, and 5 years later you'll be ~22 lbs heavier if you're over 50. theglobeandmail.com/life/hea…

So I learned of an amusing bug today:
Docker for Windows won't run if you have the Razer Synapse driver management tool running.
But the reason is the funny part...

Thread.
This matches my experience at Berkeley. The smartest people (like people who defined the field) were the nicest people. My theory is that once you truly start understanding, humility and curiosity is the only way
While I was in grad school at CMU, I had the honor and privilege of learning from prof. John Reynolds.
He was brilliant, but also incredibly humble. After knowing him, I stopped giving a pass to the "asshole genuis" types.
Here are some stories. 1/

Thanks, looks great for backup. Can I access my files (and view them) via a web interface and/or a mobile app?

I'm tempted to switch to another service and sync the whole thing elsewhere, but Dropbox actually provides a decent service for the money. But I'm disappointed that I'm paying for unlimited storage and the limits make it impossible to actually use.

Adding to the overall burden: I have added files to my local instance, but I don't know which ones they are, so I can't just return to selectively syncing files as I'll lose them. I REALLY need the sync software to work.

The solution from Dropbox when I hit the 10k folder limit? Sync it to my local computer. The solution from Dropbox when I hit the 300k sync limit? Don't sync it to my local computer. I'd find their contradictory advice amusing if I were not paying for "unlimited" storage.

Except now the Dropbox sync software crashes. Turns out there's a soft limit of 300k files for syncing. It worked fine for me for a couple of months until the one day when it didn't.

That seemed like a lot of juggling (and bandwidth), so instead I bought a 25TB hard drive and synced the entire thing locally. It took three weeks! But now I had a local backup, and I could finally organize my files.

There's a limit that if a folder has more than 10k files, it can't be moved via the web interface, you have to sync it locally and move it on your local file system. Which means both the target and destination folders have to be synced.

I have a LOT of files (over a million) and I kept them mostly virtual on Dropbox, with just a small subset synced locally. It worked really well except for when I wanted to organize my files.

I keep hitting the limits of @Dropbox and I'm starting to wonder how one person (me) can tilt it over when Dropbox has enterprise customers that presumably have larger requirements?

Incidentally, we built a system called KOOBE that can evaluate the exploitability of heap OOB write bugs (given an input that can reproduce the bug). It helped us produce working exploits for quite a few syzbot bugs. Paper accepted in usenix security 20: cs.ucr.edu/~zhiyunq/pub/sec2…

There are more to this. This is fixed bugs:
syzkaller.appspot.com/upstre…
Nobody ever assessed them for security impact. Nobody considers it important enough. (if you want to, you are welcome, but it's lots of work).
This is 600 open/unfixed bugs:
