Why are we only hearing about these breaches in the US? Whoever exploited this weakness, must have attacked all targets in Europe, Asia, etc. Are they keeping it quiet somehow? Or maybe they aren't as good at identifying the breaches?

I think the point is that what you're describing existed for years. Any Xilinx Zynq chip or Altera SoC chip can do this already. Just because the data doesn't travel through the AXI/AMBA bus does not make this novel.

You do know that, there are F-35's already flying around S400 systems, right? I mean Syria is just one example.

Exactly. A lot of businesses MUST keep the data. Imagine EasyJet putting the burden of keeping all your transaction logs on you: "Passenger assumes responsibility of downloading this electronically signed package and keep it for 2 year

Inkscape is outstanding. Thanks for all the hard work. My one and only complaint is, for very large drawings, selecting a large number of elements and moving them is very slooooooow. It would be great if, going forward, performance improvem

The problem is, if you order direct from a restaurant which takes orders from one of these platforms, the restaurant prioritizes the platform order, because the platform has reviews and ratings, which directly influences sales. Your phone o

I've worked in a closely related field. The fly-by-wire software is comparatively very small, compared to all software in a modern fighter jet like the F35. Just from the top of my head, you've got, Flight controls, Radar, Comms,

I believe no such thing exists in the western world. Russian fighter jet program costs appear to be orders of magnitude smaller though, at least on paper.

Well there is no indication about the severity of these ~800 bugs, but ~800 non-severe bugs in a system this complex is actually pretty good in my opinion.

I think they should make the cigarette packs in bright rainbow colors. I think visual and color complexity is more of a turnoff compared to solid colors.

Slightly off topic: The nature of the competition is a bit worrying to me. They're essentially letting an algorithm decide which dogs have the best chance of adoption and which to euthanize, aren't they?

They would presumably start simulator training BEFORE the planes arrived, wouldn't they?

by laydn 7y ago
The article says Southwest has 10.000 737 pilots. Let's say all of them will be trained. The article also says that simulator training costs 0.5-1K USD per hour. Let's take the higher figure. So that means 5M USD per hour training

From Chernobyl (TV series): "When the truth offends, we lie and lie until we can no longer remember it is even there, but it is still there. Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later, that debt is paid."

With the amount of planes already ordered and in the production pipeline, it will be near impossible to not fly with a 737 MAX within a few years, if you are a heavy flier. The alternative for a given route may be a train, bus, or another a

Sorry, when you said cruise ship, I was thinking "royal carribean" type ships. Cats can go much faster obviously. My point is that the power alone can not make a ship faster. Hull length and shape determines max speed.

It seems to me the biggest hurdle in nuclear energy is the (lack of) speed with which you can build a new plant (and therefore cost). It seems to me that any new type of reactor must be built much more efficiently in order to gain traction.

by laydn 7y ago
A ship can not go faster because it has a powerful engine or a near limitless energy source. A ship's speed is limited by design, especially with hull length. You cannot make a cruise ship go with 50kts.

I've commented elsewhere on the thread, but, this also has the potential to be destroyed by software. That AUDIO_PWR_EN appears to be a signal that can be controlled by software. If you switch it fast enough such that the MOSFET is kep

That circuit appears to assume that AUDIO_PWR_EN signal will switch very infrequently. If AUDIO_PWR_EN is a pin that is controlled by software, and, if you keep switching that pin such that the MOSFET is kept in the linear region due to the

What do you mean? Plants compete for resources (water, sunlight, soil nutrients) as well. Also, there are diseases that can target specific plants, when unchecked, can wipe out an entire plant population (see Panama disease for bananas for

The article says, "the project looked at more than 330,000 species...." and "...seed-bearing plants have been disappearing at a rate of nearly 3 species a year since 1900 ― which is up to 500 times higher". So since 190
