I think in general there are more crowded and easily accessible places to blow up than a plane if you aren't planning on hijacking it, so I don't see anyone doing that anyway.

Why does China doing something make it ok for the US to do it too?

Fresh-off-the-boat, a (often derogatory) term for people who have just emigrated to the US.

I’d think the CPU and disk time is relatively negligible in this task and Dropbox is the real bottleneck. Viewing the pictures and scrolling in VNC or X should only take a few seconds, not minutes.

They were both joking! Sending out an executable to attend an event is the exact type of action DEFCON hopes to prevent.

Why would any engine re-render if it's not needed? It will still have benefits even on desktops.

I just went back to some of my Berkeley course captures and the few that I checked out had captions that looked human-generated (unless YouTube's auto-generation can handle math terminology and abbreviations fine). It's a shame th

Wait until you hear about diamond piercings!

This is insane. Does anyone know where I could read about how this works or how the audio is generated?

It’s not an iOS requirement (but possibly it makes you make one to start out, I’m not sure).

Additionally, there are other methods like Zhuyin that some people (typically the older generation that used computers before contextual dropdowns) use. I believe those keys just map 1-1 with American keyboards so they would just type the

That starts to break down when people try and fail to commit crimes (attempted theft) or do something that only has terrible consequences a fraction of the time (drunk driving, using bands restricted for emergency use).

"All university material" is not just in one place ready to be stolen. In most classes I took, all the material was already available for free online (on public sites created by the staff). There isn't really any "hidden

You're right, it doesn't really matter how known the incident was. However, I don't think it should have happened at all and if someone were to sue, I would have assumed they would only be entertained if it was a widespread c

Reading this makes me happy! Always good to see people taking security seriously.

I don't use Twitter so I could be wrong about what happened, but this seems crazy. Three people retweeted a photo that included the photographer's name. However, Twitter didn't show the name in the thumbnail because it croppe

First, my argument only applies to when these are common and not highly sought after (see the top level comment I replied to). Not necessarily a random person, but having an easily obtainable rooted iPhone would absolutely enable targeted a

I agree, but I think there are non-technical people who would happily buy a cheap iPhone on Craigslist or Facebook and enter in all their iCloud or banking info without rebooting or looking at warnings.

Does it matter what they cost if scammers could net tens/hundreds of thousands for a single one? (Assuming they pick targets right)

by ladberg 6y ago
If anyone could buy this device, then tons of scammers would buy them, install malware, and sell them to people as normal phones. They could then control banking apps and whatever else they wanted.

Yeah, in retrospect that seems like the way to do it. The toy examples I learned from in college did it on a single image split up by row, but I can’t think of a great use case for that besides some naive compression.

If a browser updates with a new feature that Chrome already has and other sites already use, the users get to use the new feature with no update from the developers due to feature detection.

Does your friend use Links (or lynx/others)? I thought most visually impaired people use a normal browser combined with a screen reader (NVDA or Voiceover). Of course, designing with accessibility in mind is important, but I would argu

by ladberg 6y ago
Then part of feature detection could be detecting bugs and working around them. This wouldn't have to be done by every web developer, but bundled into a commonly used library so cruft can be taken out when browsers fix bugs.

I can't tell if you're serious (about it being common - not that you use it), but I've never heard of anyone doing it and I'd bet less than 0.1% of web devs do this.

Not sure why you're being downvoted, but this is exactly the reason. Chrome on Windows includes "Safari" in the user agent and Chrome on Android includes "Mobile Safari" because if they don't add it, tons of we

Even if you never matrix multiply with an image, it's still useful to have it in matrix form for other things like PCA/SVD.

That just depends on how you what your AI to optimize and what results you value. After 3 attempts, would you rather have the best-case twice and the worst-case once or a medium-case three times?

People on r/wallstreetbets don't have a knack for it, that's just what they want you to think. If you took gave 1000 monkeys RobinHood and let them trade whatever they wanted, a few would be incredibly successful for a few da
