Just because the car has external connectivity doesn't mean the car has abusable vulnerabilities. Of course, some vendors are going to be better than others when it comes to hardening, pen-testing, and good operational security.

They're removing bots. I for one appreciate the lowered noise floor. If a platform (Facebook) is claiming that it's for people, then we should know when a post is from a person or a bot.

We tried; it didn't work. Reason being that there are anti-pattern behaviors built into the parent/child relationship. It's very challenging for both the child and the parent to shift from a kind/loving/on-your-team

Of course companies play politics to tilt the market in their favor. What I mean is that companies don't often take political stances like "we encourage all our employees to vote X" or "we believe candidate y is the righ

Companies aren't generally supposed to be political. Is the story here that Coinbase is offering a severance for employees that feel the company should be doing more? Seems like an incentivized quit.

If the people you want to raise are people who are passive aggressive whiners who complain behind their bosses backs to their underlings while dodging responsibility then yes, the children will be fine.

Maybe what's going on here is that parents are seeing, for the first time, how human and imperfect teachers can really be. Especially in the early grades. I say this with utmost respect for the teaching profession, some teachers are no

My understanding is that Canadian residency isn't particularly strict, but Canadian citizenship is very strict. Besides, most of the companies in question (e.g. Amazon, Google, Microsoft, etc) already have subsidiaries operating in Can

Why would it be best, considering the enormous cost of replacing 25 cent coins with 20 cent coins? What advantage does 20 cent coins have over 25 cent coins?

While I agree with the concern, I think there's almost zero chance that a neural net trained on people looking at phones would classify a driver looking at hand controls as that same thing. The neural net would more likely have another

Physical security tokens are both as old as dirt and the hot new replacement for passwords.

While it's not always considered a risk, there are many cases where being able to run code on a CI server is a vulnerability.

Yes. It comes with the territory of realizing that there are actors gaming the biggest systems around, and part of the game is building support for those gaming the system, without knowing which segments of our society are participating.

Or, the model is right, but the system is being gamed in a way that isn't clear to us in the public. Then when we find out what the game is it'll be too late.

Or maybe it is still there, growing like a cancer while we plow on with the blinders. 12 years is not really a long time in terms of monetary policy.

The stuff on YouTube that I've seen has US generals talking vaguely about it. But even as far back as 2012 I was talking with US red team operators who were pretty open about the structure of cyber operations. At that time there was a

The US is not at war in Syria. ISIS is deemed to be a threat to stable governments in the area including Israel, Iraq, and even Turkey, and US is assisting those governments in fighting ISIS back. The seemingly endless civil war in Syria is

Dolphins do have a versatile mouth. Even seals have been trained to do fancy things with their mouths. But staying on the dolphin theme, check out these dolphins blowing air rings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bT-fctr32pE

True, but perhaps they could harness technology we never thought of as valuable. Perhaps they could build structures around sea vents, or use sticks and weeds to build pens in which to farm fish. Many possibilities exist. They could even be

Other people might decide to hang a weight on the steering wheel and go to sleep while driving at 90mph[1]. That doesn't make it a good idea. [1]: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/tesla-driver-napp

It's also posted in the car when the phone key is added. In my case, the handover agent specifically told me to keep my key card with me. It's not really a secret, nor is Tesla saying you should only use your phone as a key and no

by bdamm 6y ago
Not so. You need the key card to add the phone key. The car won't let you add a phone key without the key card.

Yes, but that doesn't stop you from using the car. The app is for remote convenience functions.

And it's a thin card with no embossing. There's really no excuse. And convenient if you drop your phone in a river, like I did a few weeks ago while out kayaking. Upon returning to my Tesla, I unlocked it with my key card because

The car does not have a publicly reachable IP. It is using message bus (Kafka pub-sub, I believe) to bridge phone and car. Tesla does publish an API for anyone that wants to control a car (uses OAUTH for authorization.) Other than being una

No part of Tesla cars requires the use of mobile networks for basic car operation. It is just the extended functions such as pre-cooling the car remotely, or initiating "Smart Summon" (to have the car drive to you from across th
