I was wondering that too. I would say that having access across multiple domains, and injecting into the kernel to hook a go binary places this firmly out of the world of script kiddies!

nice, I hadn't spotted that. Not much to go on in the screenshot but what is there looks similar to the sample in the linked article

If you are a paid subscriber you get extra bits from VirusTotal. One of which is you can see what files are "parents" of the sample. In this case, there are a bunch of zip files that contain this file, all named Immunity Canvas or

You do have a point, but I think from a risk perspective there is a difference. When Huawei was chosen for those fixed line projects it was providing relatively ‘dumb’ pieces of kit (switches etc.), with controller software that could be lo

I agree with you for devices where the user should be considered 'trusted' - I like to tinker too. But I think there are use-cases where this is legitimate, for example, ticket readers mounted on public transport where anyone coul

I can imagine if you're a routing app (e.g. providing transit directions) you might want to re-route users to an alternative station if the lift is broken/a station doesn't have a lift.

I’ve not looked in detail, but I’d be surprised if it was as I don’t think Router Announcements propagate beyond the local network...so you could get all machines on a network segment but it wouldn’t spread across a whole company. Definitel

Ah, well it depends a bit if it’s a standard carrier bag or a bag for life - I think the bag for life is bigger.

This is excellent- I’m impressed with the attention to detail and perseverance. I would have given up well before getting that amount of info together

Depends where you live. Here in rural UK Uber etc. aren’t present so local shops and pubs are doing a good trade in takeaways and supplying meat/groceries so this would be useful for them

Yeah it’s interesting because usually these sorts of things (like editing my hosts file) don’t work for me because I get annoyed by the restriction when I legitimately need to access something and undo it. I guess in this case it’s a small

It's moving the apps out of sight, not uninstalling them. I've done this, and found that if I just idly pick up my phone I have to consciously decide what I'm going to waste time on, and often that bit of friction is enough t

It’s mentioned below, but ‘The Idea Factory‘ covers Bell labs and is an excellent read.

In the U.K. this is done by BT for users of their sport app, so the channels can only be streamed in the U.K. I think this was a requirement of the rights holder (the sports bodies).

It might not quite be AI in the way we normally think of it, but there's been some interesting work to develop artificially evolved RF antenna - NASA has some in space https://www.nasa.gov/centers/ames/researc

I've used NetFPGA ( https://netfpga.org/ ) before which seems a little more complete, will be interesting to see how this compares.

Yeah, it works completely locally on the lan - there's a MDNS discovery and then pairing process between devices and the phone. You can access stuff remotely if you have an Apple device which is paired to the homekit stuff and connecte

Apple's existing standard (HomeKit) is relatively 'open' - the specification is published, and several open source implementations exist. I've used the Python one to implement automation on the smart-home devices I'

ah ok - quite a lot of effort must have gone into copying these books then I guess!

The article mentions that the app has thousands of books 'scanned from physical copies'...while reading books to our kid I've been struck by how many are printed in China so I wonder if getting access to the digital assets us

I rate 'High output management' by Andrew Grove (founder & CEO of Intel). He has clearly lived a lot of the experiences he wrote about and the advice was pretty timeless.

Not a tesla owner, but AIUI you have to hold the button down on the app while it comes to you - so you'd let go if it looked like it was going in the water. This is exactly why having open source mapping information is so useful - if y

This is really a re-write of Bert's great piece on the outage, which was discussed a couple of days ago - if you're interested, I strongly recommend you go read it https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21476451
