We've got some major updates on our DIY pharmaceutical R&D technology stack.
We can't give you all the details until after our presentation at DEF CON (https://defcon.org/html/defcon-32/dc-32-speakers.html#54498 and live streaming link on Twitch, no account needed: https://www.twitch.tv/defcon_dctv_two), but we can say that we'll be showing off a novel method to make sofosbuvir (the cure for Hepatitis C) at a tiny fraction of the price big pharma charges.
We'll also be demoing the newest edition of the MicroLab, our DIY lab reactor that you can build at home for a few hundred dollars (https://github.com/FourThievesVinegar/solderless-microlab/blob/master/docs/index.md). Together with our Recipe Press (which generates instructions for the MicroLab) and ChemHacktica (our hijacked machine-learning-based chemical synthesis planner), the MicroLab Suite provides all the tools needed to plan and execute reactions that you need for DIY medicines.
Are you ready for DIY drug development? What medications would you hijack? The era of computer-aided home chemistry is dawning and we can't wait to see where you all take it.
As always: Keep each other healthy. Keep each other safe.
Thinking about a curl kernel driver with live updates. Lots of potential.
"Don't reinvent the wheel" is now bad advice because all existing wheels have catastrophic flaws in them.
Instead of asking what the two wolves inside of you are doing, ask what the angel and demon on your shoulders are doing

PSA: when a company has a sudden disaster and then you hear on the socials “the CEO sold stock two days before it happened!” or whatever, almost every single time, that’s because the CEO sells stock on a preannounced, fixed, repeating schedule, which is specifically to avoid insider information influencing the decision when and whether to sell. And if you’re selling on a fixed, repeating schedule, then there will always be one that happens to have been not too long before any given disaster.
I’m not saying that the illegal version of this never happens, I’m saying it doesn’t happen quite as often as people posting this stuff in a scandalized tone think it does. I mean, what, do you think the C-suite of Crowdstrike were pre-informed that they were gonna accidentally crash their own product and decided to offload some of their stock instead of stop the push to production?
it only makes it all the more hilarious too how techbros are some of the most likely people to believe in meritocracy when the tech industry is easily the best refutation in existence of the idea that we've built a civilization that rewards merit. quite the fucking contrary.
so there you go, thats why fucking Windows runs most of our civilization's computing infrastructure, because power is inversely correlated to competence in this hellworld.

Tip for software companies. Your stock price can't crash when you release a bad update if your update manyages to take out the stock exchanges

I apologise for the poor picture but they were very intent on hiding in the bushes behind the petrol station so I had to be quick
