No, that's not at all what this is saying, and I'm not sure how you managed to come up with that.

If anything, you would argue the opposite. More energy was utilized by the brain when confronted with the novel image. But nothing suggests anything about it "may have actively harmed them".

This reminds me of a parenting discussion I had recently.

Who decided "fair" was the ultimate goal here? What about "fairness" is inherently superior?

Let's take a simple example, traffic and emergency vehicles. Is it fair that emergency vehicles get to ignore all traffic laws and bypass any traffic they encounter? Hell no it's not fair! But it's also the correct decision.

Priority matters more than fairness. This is a very misguided "study".

Hey man, do you need some help?

There's nothing "basic" about RPKI.

Is it useful? Yes. Is it more secure than not using it? Yes.

Is it easy to deploy? No.

Is it basic? There's nothing about it that is basic.

Yes, a local privilege escalation is equivalent to an RCE. /s

Pay more attention? How about "know what you're talking about before opening your mouth"?

Maybe that supermicro story wasn't bullshit afterall?

None of the people involved in this dispute are Americans.

You can only use my first name and first initial of my last name!

Hmm, ok. What's your first name?

Shivane.

Yeah nobody will be able to figure out who you are.

Uhm....dude. WTF? Are you really that incompetent that you can't adapt to figure out how to move the window via the title bar?

If you click on the area between the + and the - at the top right of the title, that space will never have anything in it. There's always space there.

I'm really blown away right now. Is this a troll?

No offense, but that's absolutely terrible logic.

The reason you don't pre-order the game is the chance that it's over-hyped garbage. In other words, there's no way for you to know before it's released if you truly want to play it.

It's simple cognitive dissonance, what you're describing.

To be fair, Cisco is handing out free upgrades with this vulnerability. Call TAC, give them your serial number, and a few hours later you should have a download link in your email.

Look, the phd is not going to open very many doors in this industry. This is one of the most severe industries for devaluing advanced degrees and instead almost all value is placed on demonstrable experience.

So basically, as a PhD, you're just (in their eyes) an inexperienced programmer who has unrealistic salary fantasies.

The PhD may help you in academic circles, but in the IT industry, it just represents prime years spent on something that brings no value to the company wanting to hire you.

The logs you posted are not evidence of DoS, they show a random packet here and there.

A DoS would be characterized by, at a minimum, thousands of packets per second.

This is not a DoS attack. Look at how infrequent the packets are...it's essentially background noise that every IP address will see.

This feels like 2002 all over again, when people had host-based firewalls and would freak out any time they got hit with a port scan, not really understanding what they were looking at.
