No. One was drafted in 2013 by Obama but it never made it to a vote in Congress.

The captain of the ship had some interesting things to say about the whole debacle. - The ship had to dock in Beirut because they found out they were short of the passage fee for the Suez Canal. - They were going to raise more money to get

Yes, here in Canada too. It just wasn't enforceable and taxi drivers regularly refused fares and kicked out passengers if they weren't lucrative enough. https://globalnews.ca/news/3907475/taxi-driver-refu

Given that there's broad agreement on what consent is and very little agreement on what exploitation is, that's always going to be contentious. Maybe with a labour monopsyny? I guess we don't want the big mining company in

No, that's not true. They were doing something wrong, because children are generally recognized as not being fit to give consent for all sorts of things. The laws against child labor merely recognized this. The case for AB5, a law agai

Yes - it’s the fact that the race for the presidency is a winner-takes-all game. When Clinton lost, she didn’t get a diminished, minority, but still proportional say in the running of the government - she was completely out and Trump got ev

But this is the same faulty reasoning that led the press to underestimate the danger of covid19. The probability of arbitrary and unbounded detention and torture is very small, but the change in personal utility would be so terrible that yo

A typical GPU has a bunch of small microcontrollers on it, usually Cortex-M’s. Those need to be licensed. I wonder if Nvidia’s interest in RISC-V is just to replace those microcontrollers?

Yeah - see “Dunbar’s Number” Beyond Dunbar’s Number, it’s not clear that you can employ mutual-aid theories like tit-for-tat to restrain free-riding and cheating.

EA’s STL had more to do with custom allocators and the fact that a lot of the platforms we were developing for 10 years ago didn’t have mmap or paged memory management (or at least nothing that they wanted to expose to us lowly user-mode ga

Rockchip generally cooperates with Linux driver developers. The last time I checked, Linux-SUNXI was still stuck reverse engineering everything because Allwinner is actively hostile to driver developers. Has that changed?

It certainly sounds a lot better than simply asking browser vendors to give .local a pass on cert validity. I’m still wary of any flow that would have browser users “accepting” a device as secure - could I impersonate that device on the loc

Except you’re using garbage certificates so anyone could MITM you and inject whatever they like.

On your own network? Does it really matter whether you use telnet or ssh? And if it’s on a shared network, don’t you have an IT department that can set up the local key infrastructure and push out certificates? The argument here is that we

What would it say? “You’re connecting to an IoT device that has a worthless certificate. Would you like me to open up a completely pointless AES256 session with it and pretend that you have a secure connection?” Just use HTTP.
348.
by CountSessine 6y ago
So the answer is to subvert the global certificate infrastructure that protects web traffic? No, it isn’t. Your IoT device has no security at all if a non-technical user is setting it up or if it doesn’t have a way of accepting a user confi

It handles it by asking "Do you want to trust this new server?" Asking the end user to accept downgraded security is a huge security antipattern. Also, if I’m operating an evil wifi AP at a coffee shop and I intercept your web r

Why can't there be a shared conduit for cables underneath or beside a road? Because the city doesn't want to pay for it. What needs to happen, IMO, is that the last mile should be utility infrastructure, and ISPs should conne

I think a lot of this is especially bad right now because we're trying to unwind a lot of the bad system architecture that was imposed by X. A lot of maintainers are finding that they need to do things themselves that X used to do for

I'm amazed more every years how "we're almost there" is a recurring theme. Yeah, but I think a lot of that was because so much dev effort has been wasted trying to make X11 suck less, and building infrastructure around
