Neat little experiment! Delays between packets are not normally logged, so detecting this would be a challenge - any ideas of the best way to detect this sort of channel? Interesting side note: If I recall correctly, a variant of this can b

Something similar was done by journalists for the UK 2015 General Election. They took Democracy 3, an indie game with a very complex neural net simulation, and attempted to find out how the various main parties' policies held up: http

If you are finding it difficult to stand for extended periods, consider getting your feet checked, and if you have already, using your prescribed orthotics (insoles/shoes/other supports) whilst standing. When I come home, I routin

I thought that was probably what you were doing, and it's a good check - one of the ones I tend to do myself when investigating strange things! Just thought I'd add for other readers some security industry commentary :)

The Google results start with things like VirusTotal, which has several scannners which declares the gif as being a malicious site. The gif itself is almost certainly not malicious. There's probably two things happening here. Firstly,

For the record, I'm completely in agreement with "feature, not a bug". For myself and many people I know, mental health stuff makes more sense when looked at like that, and it also matches up with core concepts of Cogitative

It is often difficult to get a diagnosis of PTSD when you've not been at war or subjected to a singular catastrophic event. And even if you did, there may not exist treatment pathways for those with PTSD from more complex or long lasti

And on a far more simple level, disassociating and returning from it is utterly terrifying, and worse still one might know that their loved ones will have also had a very difficult experience

Disassociating doesn't always work like played out in films or TV, sadly. It's terrifying, and often find it hard to trust what's in front of you. Familiarity is needed, as it acts to ground you, and a key part of this is to

Leonard Nimoy gave many of us a role model to look up to, and his work inspired many future works of fiction that inspired even more. How many of us were called "Spock" by bullies, but actually found comfort in knowing that Spock

Anything where you can turn a batch job into a constant stream is going to be of major appeal to large scale industrial production. Pretty much a perfect example of a disruptive invention! Looking for how industrial manufacture of honey wor

Neat, thanks for running the experiment to see how differing MP3 encoder settings affect the lost portion. This explains why 320kbps is generally accepted amongst DJs, as any loss is significantly less than that caused by the club sound sys

If you can't hear it, was it ever information?

by mdisraeli 12y ago
320kbps with highest quality setting is pretty much an industry standard now, and many DJs, myself included, make use of that. As you've looked into this before, do you know what the similar difference is like for such professional-gra

At EMF Camp last summer, Dan W gave a great talk about his similar Unknown Fields trip on a container ship. This by far was one of the highlights of the event, as it was extremely insightful into this hidden world. You can watch the talk at

I get your overall point, but in turn you've overlooked the Relationship layer - basic compassion means that the victim gets to make the call as to if something hurt them. If someone is stabbed, do you require empirical measurements of
