Forewarning, I am by no means an expert on anything that follows. Homomorphic encryption would allow for "true security" where the party doing the computation doesn't ever have the encryption keys necessary to see what data t

To add to other anecdotes, there was quite a few fires in new jeeps while parked and off. http://jalopnik.com/why-jeeps-catch-on-fire-and-why-chrysler... http://blog.caranddriver.com/jeep-recalls-164000-cher

With 48v and several hundred amps behind it, that's not a hard thing to do. You won't shock yourself with 48v, but when working with DC batteries that can source those kind of currents, you need to be very careful. If you cause a

>There's no warning light for the brake fluid reservoir or pressure, even though it would be trivial to add. What deathtrap are you driving? This is a common thing. Even my old 96 Camry has it.

Tor is over an order of magnitude too slow for this to work. You might get a result, but that doesn't tell you much about the speed of your internet connection.

The CAs private keys can't be used to decrypt https. All the CA does is sign your public key in a certificate that shows validity and the domain name.

It isn't just diffused over the entire field of view. It's a lot like how CRTs work with the beam scanning over the whole screen line by line. The lidar only needs a very short pulse of light for each given point so it's a lo

I've worked with the FBI in the past and this is absolutely not the kind of behavior that I experienced. The FBI agent managed to lose the copy of documents that I put on a CD for him and then later claimed that we never gave them to h

Depending on the car the hood can be released from underneath but it's a massive pain and requires contorting arms in unnatural ways.

It doesn't need anywhere near that much power. Each pulse is only a microsecond long and since it's all focused in a single beam it takes very little power. Even just a 1 W laser can be seen for miles and it can be a big hazard fo

Anyone could send that header and claim to be anyone they want to be. They couldn't use that header to authenticate you even if they wanted to.

What he's saying is that there might be V1, 2 and 3 of the microphone in question. The software is tied to a single version of that microphone so any microphone of the same version is indistinguishable to the software. >the software

This is what I hate about closed source software in general. Every sysadmin out there has complaints about how terrible support is from XYZ vendor, but it's not just that the vendor can't provide support, it's that by going c

I was mostly just being hyperbolic but I meant valid certs for domains that our hypothetical Hitler did not own.

by MertsA 10y ago
What we need is for Microsoft, Apple, and Mozilla to settle on a plan to collectively eliminate negligent CAs. It seems like existing CAs would have to hand out valid certs to Hitler before they are removed from the trusted root store. We a

I've seen tons and tons of people pointing out that soy contains phytoestrogens but I've never seen a single study that showed that it had any significant effect on an adult male. I have seen studies that have shown no statistical

That's probably not going to be effective. Look at devices with cheap universal motors and the like. They spew out tons of noise and a lot of them have a filter on the input to cut down on noise but as far as decreasing wasted power, t

That's been a thing for a very long time now. Heck there was even a case where a family's son was caught selling a small amount of heroin on their front porch so the police threw them out on the street and stole their house. http

After looking at what the original title was, I agree. In this case it needed to be changed but just dropping the part about UDP would have been fine. In most cases though it honestly seems like when HN titles are changed it's changed

Windows 10 updates going forward will use the same method.

That's also something that would be relatively easy to game as well.

Can we get this changed to the original source? Not only does the Softpedia article not add anything substantial to the original source, it's also factually inaccurate. Windows 10 wasn't installed on any of their computers, the is

Robust process management is even more important in server environments. As a sysadmin, systemd is very very useful in my job and it's the building block of things like CoreOS and the like.

This is more than a year old and the hardware this was tested on wasn't even that exceptional when it was released 7 years ago. I'm kind of assuming that the tester did something strange for BTRFS in particular because his result

The benefit you're describing is just end users already being familiar with the interface because it's running Windows. That's not the case here, the entire interface on this device is of the custom application itself. It doe
