You don't need the tamper protections to apply to the whole SoC, you just need the trusted element (TPM, SE, whatever you call it) to be physically isolated from the rest of the system and include tamper protections.

TrustZone is iffy security-wise, and built-in SEs have only been available for iPhones and the highest-end quarter or so of Android phones until recently.

Security. SIMs are smartcards - separate systems storing cryptographic material and performing trusted operations. A TPM that can be plugged and unplugged, basically, using the same standards as a chip-and-pin credit card. Equivalent keysto

It is absolutely true. COVID isn't the army-crippling societal disaster it was in 2020, but it's still a really really nasty virus. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/leading-causes-of-death.htm

Because COVID is insanely contagious. The non-specific measures we took (social distancing, masking, &c) absolutely crushed the flu, but only maintained partial control over COVID spread pre-vaccine.

For the most part, these problems only pop up when you try to render RTL text visually, and then copy it back out from UI elements. In internal pipelines, however, it's just another string of opaque bytes that you perform a few very we

The map for Europe is a map of organizational/bureaucratic boundaries within the ENTSO-E; the world map on that page correctly omits regions not connected to the big synchronized grids. Alaska, similarly, is a set of two isolated grids

Also some from the initial heat of formation of the Earth. But yeah - this is coming from inside, not outside.

The aerogels would be thermal insulators under an opaque coating. My Children of a Dead Earth favorite is a thin layer of something reflective for short-burst thermal reflection, under that something that can take high temperatures like car

That was for much more challenging targets at much longer ranges. Shooting down an ICBM at hundreds of km requires much higher energies than shooting down a drone at 1-10km

That is not the authority that I meant when I used the concept to explain how the Bible's canon is based on the existence of authoritative texts endorsed by authoritative sources. You can make an edited version of the original Hebrew

There are multiple competing authorities, but they are absolutely authorities, and their versions of individual texts are extremely close to each other. Most notably, for the actual list of books there's the Catholic Church for the

They are absolutely continuing to work with the UI team (who, as far as I understand, are just modders doing a bunch of discounted/free design while Tarn still does the coding). Getting the Steam version working with adventure mode is

Yes, but as income at a more reasonable tax bracket. By default this kind of windfall is taxed the same as someone who makes that much money every year for years; all those shenanigans let you get taxed as someone making a smaller income fo

Work-life balance, and selectivity. Personally, I don't buy games until they're old enough to be on 50% sale and the reviews are in. If you're interested in reviews and community based around limited time, I'd highly rec

by azernik 4y ago
That's relevant to the Bible, or Shakespeare, or the MCU, because those works' authors have authority in a way the Brothers Grimm do not have authority over folklore.

This is a subthread about the median income that we would compare the $7M payout to, not the $7M payout itself. It certainly falsifies the graph paulluuk linked to, and using high CA taxes on the Bay 12 payout only further undermines paullu

Yeah, one of the reasons I like builders' remedy is it flips the courts' status quo bias on its head - the thing that's tired up in court is city limitations, not construction. That endless delay, even then anti-construction

Not just if someone sues. If a lawyer takes the case for someone who sues. But yeah, this is James Dolan, he's banned people for refusing to take jobs before.
231.
by azernik 4y ago
Making the ban be for fewer venues would be way easier. Or just, like, not doing this at all. This is James Dolan, the owner of Madison Square Garden, being petty as usual and banning people from the venue who annoy him. e.g. Spike Lee for

Protection from what? The lawsuit has nothing to do with the MSG venue, but rather with a restaurant somewhere else that MSG owns; and this lawyer isn't working on that case anyway.
233.
by azernik 4y ago
You brought up enforceability, so I addressed that. The policy itself is also bonkers, I agree.

The thing they scan is your boarding pass. They do not perform the ID checking, which because of varying forms of ID is a non trivial problem that they push back to the security lines.

Definitely not okay, just pointing out the different kind of craziness at play here. (In that case it would be purely the holding employees with no connection to the specific actions responsible for what their employer does.)

Not so easy to enforce, because most ticketing systems don't require the name of every single attendee. Adding that requirement would be really really bad for the sales funnel, and also require tickets to be 100% non-transferable. And

by azernik 4y ago
There isn't any information they could discover. The lawsuit is not against MSG the venue, but against a restaurant somewhere else that happens to be owned by the same umbrella corporation. There is zero motive here other than retaliat

Facial recognition is important here only in that this insane of a policy would be impossible to enforce without facial recognition.

a) the people who "have a lawsuit" are the plaintiffs, not the lawyers they hired b) the lawyers they're banning aren't employed by the plaintiffs, but happen to be working at the same firm the plaintiffs went to

by azernik 4y ago
All that is well and good for a plaintiff . But their lawyer? Or any other lawyer who works at the same firm? Nah, this is bananas.
