Maybe someone here knows the answer to this: How much of this stolen stuff would already be disclosed (or soon to be disclosed) in patents? Do they really just try and protect these inventions largely as trade secrets? If it's largely

Right... this sounds like a really strong possibility. Why didn't I think of that. :)

I assume when a gas station operator becomes aware of either a skimmer or a gas spill they remove it. I guess in both cases what they can do to prevent those things from occurring at all is limited. Is anyone arguing that they don't mo

Right but we're working with incomplete information. Who mandates the use of those pumps? Are better, more secure pumps available? Do the gasoline suppliers mandate that certain pumps are used? etc. etc. So it's not clear that the

If they already have security cameras, then they already have everything they need to catch someone installing the device. This being the case, the criminals have likely either already figured out how to avoid the cameras (or park out of si

I'd guess the police don't have the resources/are not interested in this kind of crime. I also doubt it's much of an issue for the gas station itself. The card is skimmed at the gas station, but does that mean the cloned

Nice writeup. But in the article they write: > Are you angry that your card has been stolen, again? Contact your local congress person or senator and ask them to pass legislation that fines gas stations $100 for every card that is discov

Because it seems fair enough as en engineering decision? Apple also provide firmware updates far longer than most manufacturers (there was a recent-ish CCC? talk highlighting this).

I'm not sure I understand why it doesn't make sense. Punishment/prison can serve a few purposes: 1. To serve as a deterrent to others. 2. To remove an individual from society, so they can't cause harm. 3. To reform an in

For many games (shooters etc) making a smart AI is relatively easy. What's hard is making an AI that's provides a realistic and interesting challenge. These "AI"s don't use much in the way of machine learning howeve

I mean the problem is that doesn't always go down well in an interdisciplinary environment. Generally Markup works well for coders, but if they're non-coders it can sometimes be a challenge to get people using it I've found.

Shame, sounds like it's the only option. It would be nice to see some competition in this area and wiki's are a great collaboration tool in interdisciplinary environments.

Hmm, there are good headphone manufacturers though. Shure make decent, relatively cheap in-ear headphones. They also have a lightening port interface set.

by new299 9y ago
The article you mention (2) does not appear to say that it "does away with a DAC". Rather, it correctly states that by using a digital interface the user has choice to select their own DAC, built into the headphones. Users can of

What is the relevance of the statistic present? I can't see is? (honestly). If no (or very few) children are left unsupervised in Canada, then the statistic isn't relevant to calculating the probability of unsupervised (or lone tr

by new299 9y ago
You seem to be arguing with a point I'm not trying to make. But if you are suggesting that the decision should be fact based and present an argument with supporting statistics. Then those statistics should be relevant to your argument.

by new299 9y ago
So, I'm now reading the article he cites to support this. It's an old article, from 2013. It states that: "Police statistics show 25 children of the 46,718 reported missing in 2011 listed as "abducted by stranger."

Isn't it possible that very few children ride the bus alone in Canada? Particularly given the fact that there seems to be governmental/social pressure against this? So the population of unsupervised children riding buses might be

There are so many potential biases involved, that I'm not sure I would use "hearing it on the news" as a statistical metic to drive my personal evaluation. Obviously, if you're using it to set policy, some kind of study
