A very good book on this is Biology of Desire by Marc Lewis. Cites the Vietnam heroin example, and gets into the neurobiology of bad habits. Key points are that addiction is neither a choice nor a disease, and self-control is a depletable

Once again you have confused the timing and thus risk of investment with quantity . Furthermore, and trivially, donations by private citizens such as Carnegie are not a socialization of costs. The simple fact remains that taxpayers hav

DARPA is waaay before what's called "seed" level funding in the commercial sector. They are the pre-pre-pre-seed. Taxpayers fund a lot of military procurement for nascent technologies as well. Again you make a false compariso

Really it's "socialize the costs" as well, considering that autonomous vehicle development was funded by taxpayers.[1] Like most high tech. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARPA_Grand_Challenge

I'd think so too, but there is literally a crumpled bicycle in the photo of the scene. Also the Uber has a dent on the right side, which faces east. It's possible she was walking her bicycle across the street, but that still looks

by abalone 9y ago
Nah. The Uber likely stopped in its tracks and it's in the picture too. You can see an official collecting evidence at the scene. The bicycle may have been pulled onto the sidewalk but it would be the sidewalk near the accident, not fa

This may not have been an unexpected circumstance. The "pedestrian outside of the crosswalk" report is likely wrong. There is visual evidence that strongly supports that this was a case of the Uber hitting a bicyclist while mergin

It's likely this was actually a bicyclist, not a pedestrian. The police are saying pedestrian walking outside the crosswalk but here's a picture of the crumpled bicycle: https://twitter.com/daiwaka/status&#x2F

That is just totally false. Apple does not rely on security through obscurity. They may not publish the code for the SEP but they do have a whitepaper that lays out the key architectural features.[1] The only reason your Linux laptop would

I think I read somewhere that some secure coprocessors incorporate physical defenses that will destroy keys if you try to shave them down or physically tamper. So yeah. Hard.

by abalone 9y ago
You misunderstand the SEP. It contains an externally unreadable private key baked in at manufacturing time that encrypts protected data. Your "wires" would read garbage. The iOS security white paper is worth a read. Perhaps a nati

by abalone 9y ago
It supposedly threatens 6 digit passcodes, the default that 99.9% of iOS users will use. And the whole point of a passcode is to protect against physical access.

If this actually works there has to be some huge, embarrassing vuln in Apple's Secure Enclave Processor on par with the "CTS Labs" AMD secure coprocessor hoopla that hit the news just this week.[1][2] The SEP is supposed to e

"Fake it til you make it" generally refers to acting like you believe in yourself even if you're filled with self-doubt. Not actual fraud.
