  • Size is how many lines of code in your solution

    Cycles is how long your program takes to finish

    Activity is how much you had to interact with the target system.

    They’re measures of your solution’s efficiency. A low size program fits on simpler hardware. A low cycles program can do a hack faster, and do more hacks in the same time. A low activity program is harder for security systems to detect.







  • When more homeless people are in public housing, there’s less demand for rentals.

    When there’s less demand for rentals, competition falls and rents fall too.

    When rents are low, landlording becomes less profitable.

    When landlording isn’t profitable, investors move their stock to higher growth assets.

    When investors sell their houses, the price to buy a house falls.

    To put this in simple terms: a rising tide lifts all ships. Housing the homeless improves the lives of everyone except landlords and billionaires.
