See the MIT paper linked from a lower ranked answer - they can actually amplify the radio waves, by as much as 30dB! That's a 1000x increase. Now that's a proper conspiracy - to cause people to wear those in order to amplify the e

The craziest thing is that Pakistan has nuclear weapons. And not only that, the weapons are at the disposal of the local (very high ranking) commanders. It also is a country where the military is really in charge, only occasionally giving b

Fast forward to 2020s - the gangs are now reorganized under the Siloviki, the "strong man". Methods have changed from being shot in the street to being defenestrated. Meanwhile the state uses beatings and barrier troops to enforce

Ah yes, just like in Russia we all know someone who was put in the trunk of a car by the FBI and driven around the forest just because they didn't want to pay up to the local director and his network of cronies. Or we all know of a pro

Weird accounting tricks in Russia include "the new nobility" making you offers that you cannot refuse. This is a country in which the FSB (equivalent of the FBI) is running their own protection rackets, even on a small scale of a

You use a Diffie-Hellman key exchange, signed by a cert stored in the CPU on one side and verified by the TPM on the other. CPUs already have such secret certs inside of them, for example for Intels' SGX. But as you can read in the art

Hasbara is being very heavy handed these days. Hard to not see the connection between this campaign and the ICJ's decision on temporary measures in the genocide case, as the campaign was launched immediately after the decision was anno

I don't know what specific deals they have with LPs, but why would it make a priori sense to force the fund to liquidate some specific shares and distribute the proceeds? I would imagine that any fund is allowed to make losses on speci

Not just French, also for example German and Polish. Milion, Miliard, Bilion, Biliard = Million, Billion, Trillion, Quadrillion (neither are justified because neither start at the beginning, that is at a thousand :) )

First, WINE = Wine Is Not an Emulator. And it's not an emulator, the PE code runs directly on the host CPU. All you really need to implement is the OS API (on Windows the official API is with DLLs, such as KERNEL32.DLL, which in turn i

Shuffle is an operation that converts "{k1, v1}, {k1, v2}, {k2, v3}" into "{k1, [v1, v2]}, {k2, [v3]}".

by H8crilA 3y ago
My point is that Reduce is Shuffle+Map, without materializing the intermediate result (the result after Shuffle).

It's interesting that they managed to get this access. It may be useful in the lawsuit that will surely follow.

by H8crilA 3y ago
There really was always only Map and Shuffle (Reduce is just Shuffle+Map; also another name for Shuffle is GroupByKey). And you see those primitives under the hood of most parallel systems.

Sounds like a simple case of antitrust. But antitrust is really a political process, not a legal process. Or perhaps a better way to phrase it is that it is a political process that happens to go through the judiciary branch.

Check out the Python bytecode in the article, and remember that bytecode is only generated once from the text of the program (but executed many times). "{}" is translated into a simple "make a dict" instruction.

by H8crilA 3y ago
(I generally agree that everyone should almost always choose the more readable version) In this case the speed difference will likely always be there, since `dict()` can be overriden (monkey-patched) - hence the interpreter needs to resolve

The takedown notice says that the "plug-ins are in violation of the terms of service". This is super odd. So what would happen if I never bought their product and hosted this repo - while not being a party to the terms of service?

Don't the pcap dumps contain signal strength for each frame? Is it unreliably measured?

They also have an organizational purpose. Once an attack happens you can shift the blame onto the WAF. And the WAF provider can, if needed, claim this to be a novel attack against which they have prepared for the future. Even issue an emerg

Why hasn't anyone mentioned a botnet yet? Those devices are perfect targets for Mirai clones. (yes, you still cannot run a mailserver at home, currently because we live in the age of Internet of Shit).

Rifles do not reach airplanes, and SAM systems are quite tightly controlled. For example Hamas is unable to take out even any of the slow piston engine Israeli surveillance drones. They even have a name for them in Arabic, you can hear the

It takes just 1 person who knows a bit about radio and aviation and maybe $1000-$2000 worth of hardware to pull off such an attack. And we know that terror organisations go to much further lengths to make it to the press headlines.

I mean, to put it simply it would just work with a digital mode. But that's not the point, the main point is that there is no authentication mechanism. Such systems are indeed being abused, for example trains were recently halted in Po

Eh, I get a lot of pushback in this thread. But I'll reply. We're talking about something like a landing clearance. It doesn't have to be completely off the chart. And yes you can inject a message like that successfully, with
