She wouldn't have to do that if those FEC regulations weren't so gosh darn restrictive about what she can do with the money. Which will be the first thing she changes when she gets to Washington.

Edit:


God I hope it's a nuclear powered boomer. Between a Cold War era Russian nuclear submarine and North Korean nuclear ICBMs, that thing would be leaking so many rads RADIAC detectors on the moon would be able to see it. We'd probably know about it before it even got off of the coast of North Korea.

(I used to be a RADCON technician)

I think that's how we're detecting where these missiles are coming from.

Also yes, I know what those are. Don't want to mention why.

Actually, "software engineer" and "computer security expert" Flynt/Wu, you can't say that it would take 6 billion years to crack the password. The password-generating software might hit the password on its first attempt, requiring only a hundred-thousandth of a second. The 6 billion years figure is the average time it would take to crack the password using a brute force approach. Many engineers understand the difference between an average and a total.

Also, people who work for the federal government are smarter than you and would use at least one special character in that 12-character password. Allowing special characters would increase the average time required to crack the password to 150 billion years.

People who are actually engineers (or scientists or rational human beings) must laugh themselves into comas reading the inane bullshit this troon tweets.

Yeah and security expert Brianna is definitely who we should be listening to about this.

Fresh off this lunacy, Brianna has decided to top it. Earlier today, Wu said that their Twitter account was hacked by…wait for it…Russia. Because of course Russia would really be interested in hacking an irrelevant nutter (and future failed congressional candidate) like Brianna Wu. It makes all the sense in the world!

12 characters is encryption according to this moron? Maybe try some salted password hashing? You're a supposed software engineer, I'm sure you'll figure it out, or cripple your laptop. 128 can be easily hacked now days (You don't just use one computer to hack an encryption John). Not to mention AES is no longer one of the best encryption methods, hell just look how often US government files are hacked and decrypted. Maybe he should read up on Honey encryption or maybe even quantum key distribution
 
This is the only article I found so far on Apple Metal from Brianna Wu, praising it in 2014.

It is horribly misinformed and there is no chance no one with a paying career in software development would stumble upon this organically, let alone cite it.

At a technical level, Metal is a new developer tool from Apple that will bypass OpenGL and access your iOS device’s processor directly. This is important because running OpenGL, a widely used API for rendering vector graphics, comes at a significant cost to your iOS device’s processing power. Now, Unreal will skip all that and just go straight to “the metal.” (Fun fact: The term “Metal” comes from the gamedev practice of skipping higher-level languages, like Apple’s newly announced Swift, and optimizing by writing in actual assembly code, meaning 1s and 0s.)

The idea that programmers actually program in "1s and 0s" is a misconception on the most basic level. What Wu is referring to is binary logic and would be more in line with machine code, which programmers have not seriously used for software development since the 70s.

I'm quite honestly impressed with how quickly she got all of the things wrong. Most programming languages are enough of a fucking headache, why would we ever want to do it in ones and zeroes?

There's a reason why BASIC exists, but John doesn't understand any of that shit. I would love to also see a game designer today use binary to make any video games today.

That being said, you could use programs out there for different coding languages that do some of the work for you. Makes using such code easier. Like I started using Eclipse for Java. I can just sit here sipping on a whiskey and not worry too much about fucking something up.

And provides more proof -- as if more were needed -- that Flynt/Wu has never set foot inside a computer science class.

It's funny how Flynt "Wipe The PSU" Wu always manages to avoid sitting on any panel that includes real software engineers, an appearance that would expose his complete and utter ignorance of the subject the first time he opened his mouth. I'd love to see him subjected to a nice ambush interview where the reporter starts off by saying: "Since Brianna is a software engineer and since I don't understand anything about computers, I've asked computer science Professor John Doe from Boston College to sit in on this interview and ask Brianna a few questions about her work in the field." I suspect that would be the end of the interview.

So how long till Wu requests a security detail to protect her from all the dangerous gamer goobers?

She did a few years ago.
PAX East Incident

After the original "Death to Brianna" Tweets, Brianna Wu contacted many of her closest associates in the Independent Gaming Press in order to announce that she would not be attending Penny Arcade Expo East, known better as PAX East.[60] Her reason for doing so was none other than one of the most-critically-disproven incidents on record with Brianna Wu thus far, the Jace Connors Incident. Her argument for not attending PAX East - which she ultimately did anyway - was that she feared for her life after "her life had been threatened by two people in Massachusetts."[61] Brianna Wu repeatedly sensationalized both a long-since-disproven bomb threat and a sarin gas attack threat towards the event to the point where the FBI was getting frustrated with her constantly amplifying hoaxes.[62] Brianna further went on to declare that Jace was proof of her concerns.[63]

The thing is, by this point Brianna Wu had a well-deserved reputation for biting at obvious bait from third-party trolls, and was aggressively amplifying any threat whatsoever into an example of her own harassment and how much she was in danger. Yet at the same time, Brianna Wu constantly undermined the threat level of her own claims. By this point, the FBI, PAX Itself, and the Boston police had long since disproven that Jace was in any way a credible threat.[64] As such, when PAX would not deploy additional security specifically for Wu, she responded by attempting to hire muscle for her own personal protection. True to form, her supporters jumped at the chance.[65] Despite not having a booth at PAX that year, and despite constant grandstanding about the lack of security, Brianna Wu nonetheless attended the event anyway.

Members of PAX East, fed up with Brianna Wu's open sensationalizing, took photos of Wu at PAX East, making fun of her being in ever-so-much-danger at PAX by openly mocking the threats that by this point, nobody thought were credible. Fittingly, Brianna Wu responded by acting like these, too, were a threat to her life.[66]
