I don't know what material it is exactly but it is a mesh, and suprisingly thin and flexible. Your idea of an active fake-chip is really nice, it could actually work (on non-encrypted content).

> they found that none blocked the signal completely You can not block ths signal completeley. It is just the nature of radio wave that some small amplitude will get past the barrier, but you can lower the signal-amplitude so much, that

Very good. I made some tests, back when I was at the university. We had a Hardware Lab with Radio-Test Equipment and RFID Readers/Writers. I have this one: https://shop.digitalcourage.de/thema/stoprfid/rfid-nf

Yep, thats about it, besides some hackers and hipsters, I don't know people over here who would even consider this. FYI, I didn't do it, I have a metal casing, that works as a faradays cage, to counter unwanted RFID emissions.

I am using the setup you describe since about two years now. I mean, my Arch-Linux machine is bugging me off sometimes, especially when a update cracked something, and I have to downgrade again. But everytime I read news like that, I am gla

The sad thing is, no one cares. There hasnt even been a public debate about a government with 80% majority.

I want to give you a little context here, because I assume most non-german readers will be unfamiliar with netzpolitik.org. netzpolitik.org is a professional blog about politics in the information age, financed mainly by donations. They rep

I especially like the image for Forth... Although a few code-samples would have ben nice here and there.

I consider beeing coerced to use a limited set of services (for some functionalities) a huge disadvantage. It is a question of control and autonomy over your systems. Do you have control over your machine, or is it the other way around? &gt

Good, point. It is also noteworthy, that drug-tests are not as precise as people might think. Most of them look for traces of metabolic byproducts of a substance, not the substance itself. There are some (legal) medications, wich can indica

I doubt it. Intellect is not --only-- determined by the brain size, but by the interconnectivity of the neurons in the brain and maybe several dozen other parameters we don't understand (like: individual neurochemistry; the rate by wic

It probably depends on the way the teaching is done. My interest for mathematics for example has developed at the university, before that, I literally 'hated' it, an that is mostly the fault of bad teachers, not the subject itself

Well, first I wondered, but the key sentence to this article is this: > "if the Labor party should win government they would introduce coding and digital technologies training in Primary Schools" Opposition to that plan is unde

There are a few more exceptions, that come to my mind: Military, Intelligence Agencies and their subcontractors, TBTF-Banks, Disney, Sony ... ahrr and the list goes on

Yes, that is true. Interestingly most Germans I know don't even know that, and think everyone has to carry an ID with them. This is really a common misconception.

by maze-le 11y ago
I don't think that is entireley true. While the Schengen-Zone (EU border agreements) has established that there are no physical borders, where you have to show an id, there is a 50km (maybe more maybe less I don't know exactly) zo

In fact it is... I've been to Geogia, in the Caucasus-Mountains, not the southern US-State. There for example, it is common for Highway-Police to set up checkpoints, and if you are a foreigner, you can be sure to pay them some bucks, 2

I can tell you, there are a lot of people that 'feel the same'. I know of people even avoiding business-trips to the US (more because of invasive TSA-practices, and seized laptops and hard drives, than civil asset forfeiture).

I wouldn't be so optimistic. A bit of fearmongering here and there. Some idiots from the middle east (or wherever) spreading fear and terror... et viola: New justification for more funds.

Thanks for elaborating on the issue. I didn't know that the approaches are issued in that short time-interval. That makes the use of an app like this at least comprehensible.

I wondered about that too. I mean, what happend to plain old paper approach-charts. Is it common to have these on an iPad by now?
