It would be hilarious if the reason for the Kaspersky ban is because NSA can't tell whether it's Russia or the CIA behind the hacks.

Powerline adapters are pretty cheap nowadays and fast enough. I get synchronous 200mbps over a pair of TP-Link gigabit ones in a place with really poor quality wiring, and they come with power pass-through so I don't even lose a power

Because now we can watch those funds and know how much money they made, we can watch them to see if they make a mistake. If every address was different we'd have no idea how much money they're making and only funds paid by people

There was [earlier work]( http://www.applied-math.org/optical_tempest.pdf ) on pulling Ethernet data from the LEDs of a 100MBps switch, as they were hard-wired to the cable. There was also a paper from around the same time ab

Hmm, okay, so we reduce to black and white, add some warp and noise and then reduce the size so that the text is only just readable. ...and they focus on adding fonts of multiple sizes so it can't be shrunk without losing information.

This is an American company that strips SSL from many, many medium value targets; if they aren't thoroughly owned then the surveillance state is being negligent. A paranoid man would go even further than that and assume that monitored

You don't need to be a horrible person to make insensitive posts, it's a role played depending on environment and audience. I'm sure the 4channers among us aren't famous for trollish funposts on Facebook and LinkedIn.

Anyone else actually tried this? I was impressed with the video and thought I'd give it a stab, but the mouse drag to drill-down isn't working for me in 0.11.0. Found a possibly-relevant issue but it's closed and the single c
