There's a difference between "I have an active adversarial actor" as a security model and "sometimes I send something I don't want to and want to delete it, the people watching are friends and acquaintances and are

What an utterly bizarre comparison. Even the block chain comparison isn't valid because it didn't consist of an "AI" button getting crammed into every single product and website, turned into a popover etc.

Except you don't. You only need to match velocities if you want to dock with something. Hitting something in orbit just requires you to be in the way at the right time. Basically an intercept is a lot easier.

Oddly enough I'd say the OP has a decent point were it not for that last part.

It's not advice. It reads to me that the friend is lacking the framework to express that the conversation the author just involved them in made them uncomfortable. Like there is so much detail missing here: was this within the bounds o

If someone has root access to your apparently unencrypted phone, then they can just launch the Signal app directly and it'll decrypt the database for them. Which is to say this is an incoherent security boundary: you're not encryp

Which isn't the question: what promising things was the Boring company looking at? Not what they said they wanted to achieve, how were they planning on doing it? Lithium batteries at all points were quite specific "we think <

Sure but no one founded companies saying they were going to do exactly that until they actually had tungsten carbide tooling in hand and it was a production engineering issue. What technology or research was the Boring company sitting on th

Reminds me of how the discovery of giant viruses - like truly huge viral particles - was immediately also followed by discovering "virophages" which parasitized them. Which of course makes sense to some degree: if an adaptive stra

If you're developing in a container then you would have to be doing it without doing something like say, mounting your home directory into it. The reality here is this is the sort of attack SELinux should be good at stopping (it&#x27

It's about a production rate increase, not an efficiency gain.

Conversely efficiency is a lot less important if it unlocks capability you otherwise don't have at all. Antimatter is a unique element: nothing else can do what it does. The game changer would be producing industrially useful amounts f

Discoverable user interfaces are orthogonal to keyboard interaction efficiency. Menus are one of the primary ways you can discover keyboard shortcuts.

The problem is Gnome have really committed themselves to screwing up UI paradigms. I'd be much less happy with Linux if Cinnamon DE didn't exist because that's essentially a Windows like experience without the BS. Conversely

The current Australian government looked into banning gambling advertising, consulted with the gambling lobby and decided not too. They are a-ok with wall to wall sportsbet ads on football games. I'm sure no kids under 16 ever see thos

The OP isn't necessarily wrong though: the effect of the law is basically not well understood, hence the popularity. It's a case of people not understanding what age verification means (you are collecting everyone's ID to do

IPv6 is a victim of the nature of the problem and a lot of under informed observers. I see too many comments asking why it's just backwards compatible or suggesting less bits would make it easier. There are real problems but really the

This is just the classic infosec nerd missing the point. The problem isn't the license plate monitoring. The problem is the detention without cause. It's the jackbooted thugs kicking in your door which are the issue, not that addr

That's what regulatory exemption procedures exist for, and it would be the logical next step if you had convincing hard data. Every single regulatory process has them, so the fact that this very ranty article omits any mention of an at

Interesting, but I wonder if the Oauth with Yubikeys is fixed yet? My work email is behind Okta and I can get through the whole flow of Oauth up till it hits the WebAuthN..which works but it won't display a pin entry dialog.

Sometimes yes, but I've also got a fair number of appliances with a cooked main CPU which I can replace, but have no hope of ever being able to get the firmware for.
