That article seems to be implying they were paying him to create a piece of art for the museum, and he just :effort:ed them. What I've seen elsewhere said they were loaning him physical cash to be arranged in some way as part of the art exhibit. Either way, good on him, couldn't symbolize working in the modern world better.

On Aug. 17, when the Afghan troops informed Bravo Company that they were moving to another area of the airport, the paratroopers asked if they wouldn’t mind handing over the keys. 

“There were two guys standing by the truck, and we asked them if they had the keys,” Al Lami said. “They were like, ‘Yeah we do have the keys.’ And they gave us the keys for two cans of dip.” 

---

It’s hard to imagine the stars aligning any more perfectly for Bravo Company than they did on Aug. 17. They had the keys to the Toyota mounted with an anti-aircraft gun, which was making the Taliban roughly 100 feet away think twice about stepping out of line. And they had a paratrooper uniquely qualified to teach the rest of them how to operate it: [Pfc] Al Lami knew how to work the ZPU-2 thanks to his short stint in the Iraqi military.

Try Sling. It sucks, but for $35/mo, the selection is pretty decent. Sports stuff costs more, of course. No locals though.

I keep looking at Philo but they don't have an xbox app and are missing a channel or two I space out to regularly. E: no TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network/adult swim.

Also Sling's new layout blows. Can't bring the guide up over an active channel.

Heard this recently, regarding the mainstream media narrative on "what about all the Afghan women we abandoned?" and how it's just the way they're making imperialism palatable to liberals.

quote:

AS: Well, the idea at the time was that getting rid of the Taliban would not only strike a blow against terrorism, it would also open the door to more rights for Afghan women — like education, and jobs and the right to self-determination. Those seem like good goals. What’s wrong with that argument?

RZ: What’s wrong is that you cannot simultaneously bomb a country into the Stone Age and then also say you're going to empower and uplift women. What’s wrong is that those goals were used as window dressing to hide the mayhem — the night raids on homes, detentions, people being dragged away for months, families not knowing where the father or brother has been taken. And as a consequence, things like education or empowerment or job training for women and girls got de-legitimized because they were attached to this very painful and derogatory foreign occupation.

AS: And yet, during the coalition force occupation, humanitarian aid ramped up in Afghanistan, and we began seeing more shelters for women and schools for girls and jobs for women in the government. So speaking pragmatically, didn’t women's lives improve?

RZ: I’m from Pakistan, and this is typical of a lot of projects that try to empower women. In the short run, yes, there was an improvement. But because it was a top-down thing, and the funding was external, there was really no cultural or political buy-in to the increased presence of women in schools and workplaces and the government.

So it was essentially a gamble, that if they just got some women into these roles, it might foment a social transformation in Afghanistan. And, of course, the events of the past couple of months have shown that that's not true.

AS: This is what you call "trickle-down feminism?"

RZ: Exactly. Trickle-down feminism was how women's empowerment within Afghanistan basically failed. Because it doesn’t trickle down, that’s the first lesson. You can’t take feminism and shove it down people’s throats by importing it with bombs. And because feminism is not a technocratic program of economic liberation. But in today’s neo-liberal discourse, you see this idea everywhere, that if you give a woman a micro-loan, or a chicken, or you buy her a sewing machine, she’ll make that into a business. It doesn’t quite work that way.

AS: Because not every woman in the world wants what empowerment has come to mean for mainstream American feminists? A career and a glass ceiling to bust?

RZ: Yes, I mean this emphasis on economic rights came about because women in the U.S. were largely insulated from the shocks of the global economy and instead focused on getting equality with white men. So equal pay became a central feminist issue. But Afghan women might prioritize something else — like physical security. Or training more women in Islamic law so they can challenge the version of Islam that the Taliban is offering.

AS: How much of this do you think goes back to colonialism, which seems to have left its sticky traces on everything?

RZ: Yeah, you know, several years ago there was a spoof called "White Savior Feminist Barbie," where people would pose Barbie among crowds of Black children or Indian women. I think it’s important to recognize that white feminism gets some of its self-righteousness from presenting that contrast — between the white women as progressive, forward-looking and pioneering, and all other women as oppressed and far behind in their journeys to feminism and empowerment. That’s a legacy of colonialism.

I thought encryption was literally invented to prevent that type of thing

For a couple reasons: You are not supposed to encrypt them and that's it. You are supposed to take a hash of the password and store that, hopefully with a randomized salt for each password that makes it doubly difficult to match if stolen. The idea behind salting and hashing is that hash's are mostly irreversible, all you can do is very the hash matches the password's hash.

In Epik's case: They used the weakest encryption schema possible (MD5) and didn't salt it. I haven't dug too deep into the Twitch data yet, but I suspect with how large the leak is, they got both the password hashes, and maybe the salt algorithm too.

"Objectively better" if you ignore the bargain required.
And nobody asked them if they wanted to accept our conditions for a "better life."
You can be free to dress how you like... and occasionally get razor bombed at weddings.
You can have education... as long as you accept having foreign soldiers stationed around them at all times, who might sometimes rape and murder a student.
You can have modern culture and government and careers... which conform to Western ideals.
The bargain is we'll give some of you a Western lifestyle if you accept permanent war and military occupation.

It doesn't really matter which way this goes. The moment the supreme court chose to let it go in to effect for any length of time the damage was done, and the right wing mother fuckers won. The facilities are already shut down and the providers had the threat of bounty law suits hanging over them. None of them are going to open up and get back to helping women based on this.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

I'm not so much surprised by the amounts these streamers are getting, but absolutely floored by the order of streamers earning the highest amounts.
Shroud, for example, was one of the folks (along with Ninja and other big names) to be bought out with an exclusive deal by Mixer when Microsoft decided to throw down the gauntlet, and then was offered yet another multi-million dollar payoff when Mixer folded and the userbase was "sold" to Facebook gaming, giving the big names golden parachutes if they decided to opt out of the takeover. So seeing him not even breaching 100k/month is a surprise.

I have no idea how XQC is the top earner on that list, nor any clue how he makes almost 20x of what Pokimane makes and how Ninja and Shroud are not on that list.

Also lol @ the amount of poo poo Hasan is gonna eat despite being the only one on that list living with his mom, telling his viewers to avoid ad-breaks, not streaming casino content, and making GBS threads on capitalism 24/7.

That tweet mentions that donations, sponsors and such aren't included in the payout, but should really highlight casino deals, because those have the biggest impact. On casino sponsorships and streaming deals, streamers can make 100k/month alone by streaming semi-legal (or straight-up illegal, depending on the case) gambling to their teen/pre-teen userbase.

I thought encryption was literally invented to prevent that type of thing

So an unencrypted password has two parts, the part you know "Password1@69", and the part that the website knows "Password1@69"

Its terrible

an encrypted password has three parts, your password which only you know again, the key material that is used, and the generated Hash which is made by combining the password with the key material to get a uniquely big string of 1's and 0's that no longer resembles the original password. This is secure, as a hacker will only get a list of the Hash's. What they then have to do is guess the magic numbers by trying a billion times until they stumble upon the passwords that makes the Hash. Difficult but given a long enough time scale every password in a Hash dump will eventually be discovered.

A better way is a encrypted salted password, where there is a third step that adds a pseudorandom 'salt' to your password before hashing, which makes the saved Hash list pretty much impossible to decipher in a meaningful timeframe. In these cases what most attack software does is it picks the most common of passwords (eg Password) then sweeps through the other variables hoping to find a match in 10,000x longer than a classicly hash'd list.


For a very long time the SH/SC Infosec threat title was "DO NOT ROLL YOUR OWN CRYPTO" for very good reason.
