All it needs to be is smoke and mirrors, with a bit of human oversight to give it credibility. Even if it only has a 50% accuracy, an administrator can review the flags and take action, discouraging that activity for everyone. The same ap

A primary purpose of school is to learn and practice social norms and encourage conformity thereto. Taken from that lens, it is perhaps unsurprising that in China, a society moving towards an AI-surveilled and -managed future, such technolo

They mention using a playing card between the anvils in the article, and in at least one [1] video they seem to use paper between the anvils as well, so it seems probable it would work - or at least not hurt. [1] https://youtube.

That they falsely claimed multiple difficult-to-disprove origins makes this very interesting. How difficult would it be to falsify DNA evidence, given a set of good samples? I could also see this being used to poison DNA records in database

Your guess on the rationale of not requiring disclosure of outbreaks is correct, according to the LA Times [1]. In some states, hospitals face no penalty for failure to report outbreaks to even the CDC. This does result in preventable death

On the other hand, large corporations (i.e. Elsevier) profiting from others' creation of intellectual property seems very inline with China's model in certain sectors... Though I would agree that the comparison is weak. While I&#x

Yeah, my concern is for if/when Sci-Hub's servers get taken down in their hosting country.

How difficult would it be to host one or more IPFS nodes with the files on Sci-Hub (and a directory thereof)? My understanding is that would be infeasible to block, and quite probably cheaper to host, as oft-requested papers would get mirro

To be fair, if we do manage to preserve the Internet Archive to a significant degree, information on html and other filetype standards should be readily available for future recreation.

Keep in mind that many (all?) smartphones are deliberately obsoleted within 2-3 years of release - as an example, my S5 (released 2014) only supports through Marshmallow (obsolete as of 2016). Any apps requiring Nougat or later are unavaila

You might be able to do it in a more system-agnostic manner with SELinux.

Google Cloud looks fantastic, but I could never trust it for anything beyond hobby projects: Google's policy of minimal support and seemingly-arbitrary algorithmic decisions regarding customers makes for more risk than I am willing to

It would also be interesting to see the impact of distribution platforms and media formats - one would imagine that more fragmented markets (e.g. HBO exclusive shows) have higher incidents of piracy, as consumers can then find all their int

My immediate thought is if an attacker gains control of your MySQL server they could use this to help propagate across the network (and of course grab arbitrary data from everything that connects).

I suspect they decided that 180 kph is the sweet spot of "still significantly more survivable than higher speeds" and "won't prompt much consumer outrage". Though I'm sure there will still be no lack of people

Of particular note: the current NIST standard actively recommends against every single one of the requirements listed in the OP, with the exception of username derivatives and previous passwords.

Dynamically adjusting the hash count is an interesting idea (though I would strongly recommend using a better measure of entropy than password length alone), but I'm not really sure how this answers my concerns - as attackers will gene
