Yeah, it's a bit surprising that these bill validators are so robust, given that most security systems are a game of raising the difficulty just high enough to be less attractive than other criminal opportunities. It might be that two

The part that irks me is the sense that this person advocates these methods always, as though it's a cheat code for success. I think we've all had to deal with difficult people or organizations that might need methods like these t

Yeah, they can always make signing up impossible just like cancelling is impossible. Disable the easy sign-up button and force customers to call to sign up. Seems like no burden at all to implement.

Android Automative, so far as I understand, is basically a head unit. I don't think it does all the body controllers, self-driving, etc.

There could be a sort of "ARM" or "Android" but for cars. Come up with few general hardware modules, enough to replace the head unit, body controllers, ECU, climate control, and ideally driving automation, and software t

I'm fairly liberal, but I don't think we should bail out a hypothetical murderer that happens to be homeless for $0, simply because that's what they can afford. I do feel like we need a low-cost solution to monitored release.

My uneducated guess, fill the cavity with a reactive gas, then apply heat in one part of the process to react the gas with the walls, leaving a vacuum. Part of the article mentions silver cladding on the inside wall, which would be a getter

Option #4, detect the zip bomb in its compressed form, and skip over that section of the file. Just like the malware ignores the zip bomb.

This is my perspective as a U.S. citizen. I think several things are happening: * Border news and ICE detentions are a hot topic right now, so some of the stories you see were (unfortunately) business as usual. Border agents can be assholes

Problem with valgrind/asan/msan is that you have to start using these tools early in the development process. It can't be a "checklist" item before launch, or you'll have an insurmountable number of bugs, often

My Pixel just bases this off of the morning alarm clock. Since I don't like waking to an alarm, this just means that I have a permanent silent 9am alarm. I do hope that USB PD and (to a lesser extent) Qi takeover the charging space. Th

The model makers can also embed such things to prove if someone copied the model or perhaps that they trained on their model's outputs. Would also be fun to make a model that has no idea that dropbears aren't real, but thinks that

This sounds good, except that cooling a box is problematic. He needs the temperature sensor to read low so that it turns on the heat. That said, if he has access to the interior of the thermostat, I'm sure it won't be difficult to

Which part of that interface is unnecessary? I agree, you could have an Apple-like interface that lets you tune a single frequency with a particular modulation, but nothing there seems like it's a constellation viewer that has almost n

It's not a perfect defense. It doesn't defend against abuse of process. Merely being subject to a libel suit takes an enormous amount of time and money. And the truth is not a defense to libel. The defendant must be able to prove
