Static binary lifting is, in general, undecidable. Actually, correct disassembly is itself undecidable, and binary lifting builds on it. Doing it dynamically, like QEMU/tcg does, is doable. It's really not too difficult to write a

I did my Master Thesis on this kind of stuff. There are many Apps among the top 100 free ones that ask permissions completely unrelated to their functionality. Yeah I know, not surprising. What surprised me at the time was that Android give

Last time I tried it, it didn't handle unicode very well. It was a year ago and, when I saved the documents, things like "à" would turn to Chinese characters. Apart from this, I liked it a lot. Now I just use VIM and pandoc f

I get your point, but say you were selling food instead of services. It's on you to make sure that what you are importing doesn't break any rule (GMO, other stuff, etc...). I think it's fair. You shouldn't break the law.

Yeah, that's not really a good point. But the other two points stand and are two very good points.

If smaller players do not want to comply with EU regulations, it's fine with me (I hope I got your point, but I'm not sure). If you want to do business in a place, you have to follow the local regulations. I don't see the pro

Honestly, I believe that the market is big enough to make it worth it anyway. But if they decide to leave, that could be a win-win. "Worst" case scenario, some EU-based company replace them and becomes a tech giant. I mean, look a

Since Amazon & others started to advertise it heavily. But it's not like people go crazy like in the US. It's more or less yet another random excuse to sell stuff. I would say that it's still mostly an online thing.

Yep, and also literally classist. The fact that those things don't actually matter is a good thing imho. When programming, a guy from a country you don't even know can be as good as your "rockstar programmer".

That's true. But if you want to look at it from the perspective of how laypeople use PCs, the discussion about security is totally different from a purely technical one. Assuming you know better than installing adware or installing ran

I'm with you on everything, but atm the most secure browser is Chrome. Of course I mean "secure" as in "difficult to exploit".

If you are referring to the smart lights, if I recall correctly they used a side-channel attack to extract the keys used to decrypt/verify new firmwares in various models. So they basically abused OTA firmware updates to take control o

This would partially solve the issues but it would also limit the usage of cars as a service (as in, autonomous taxis vs owning a car). From my point of view car-sharing is one of the main selling points of self-driving cars. As for the int

When I see news about self-driving cars I can't help but think about car DoS, ransomware and hijacking. Not that this doesn't apply to "normal" cars, but I suspect that "intelligent" cars will have Internet con

Probably both. I think kana helps you process the words as sequences of "syllables" instead of characters. At least it did for me. I suppose that English speakers would get even more benefits because English pronunciation is often

Thanks for the pointers. I knew about the UK but I believe it is an exception in Europe rather than the rule, as of now. Of course I agree with you that probably most countries will try to get there, unfortunately. Then again, I can only re

DES is also believed to contain a backdoor. And even if it only happened once, I still don't see how "Europe is farther down this path than the US is currently".

Is it? NIST has been putting backdoors in recommended encryption standards. USA State Department also classifies strong cryptography as a munition. As far as I know we don't do similar things in Europe (yet?), but I could be wrong.

Well I'm sure some people lost the respect for the guy after he jumped on the "vote for Hillary" bandwagon. But yeah, things like the Snowden interview, Net Neutrality and some other episodes are simply brilliant.

Killer use of Caps Lock and broken English. Proud of my country. On a serious note, I really do hope that we won't follow USA steps this time. But I'm afraid that the average person doesn't really care for or understand crypt

Didn't even think about the legal aspects :) How do you think tab websites manage it? There are some that have been around for quite some time.

I know how you feel. I studied piano as a child but I learned a bit of guitar by myself. I often find myself looking up tabs and then switch to learning by ear because not only they are wrong but also "stupid" (as in, use weird an

Gimp is actually not that good for drawing. I guess that if simplicity is needed, Paint.NET (www.getpaint.net) is a good option. EDIT: I mean drawing geometrical stuff. Of course it's good for general drawing.
