Physical based attacks were the majority of the risk, and that was, practically, pretty minimal. If you want to watch from inside a VM, great, but mass attacks against watchers? I'm not seeing it. (Been going since DEFCON 9)

Depends on the state. I believe there are several in which the answer is "yes". https://www.justia.com/50-state-surveys/recording-phone-call... Also, depends on to what extent that room can be considered publ

There are some odd things that happen with sharp turns and this latency in the current version. It will cross centerline because it's chasing a frame that doesn't contain the steps in the turn to not cross.

I think his assertion is that Newton did feel like a noob. I tend to think pg's right. He's done novel enough things that he has an informed view. My experience with novel though less significant investigation and problem solving

iPhone uses a non-standard setup, probably with special hardware support for using magnetic for actual audio. There was a Defcon talk about the magnetic part, will see if I can find it.

That's when you could do layout by hand. I thought you meant a modern CPU which is what that UI runs on. Good luck using Facebook on a 6502 which really brings up the rest of the subsystems that collaborate with the CPU.

Facebook's user interface is at least a few orders of magnitude less complex than a CPU. What would lead you to think otherwise?

I had some good luck with https://github.com/sergiomsilva/alpr-unconstrained/blob/mast... as long as the images were high enough resolution. You might want to check it out, comes with trained models.

I read it as related to the "limit Python to 1 million lines so it can be stable."

I was pretty unconcerned until I saw https://www.insecam.org/ which really disturbed me. The dystopia might just arise from cheap cameras, fast networks, and no commercial interest in security.

Thank you, I hadn't realized this. Is there a good source to read up on the evolution of the, at least perception, of a right to privacy?

He invented modern graphics as a practical problem by himself as the sole researcher. Given the tools at the time that may have been a harder problem.

Timestamps across distributed systems don't work well as correlation tools as time tends not to be accurate enough to order application retries particularly but also fan out type requests. You really want parent / child or follows
