That's not up to Sophos to know though. Companies are required to comply with the regulations, at the penalty of incredibly stiff penalties. And the cost of paying manual attention to every match would be debilitating. It is much mor

Not sure I can accept the premise, because as the article states, Lewinski doesn't just defend, he also actively trains officers and publishes papers on reasonable use of force.

One thing to keep in mind is that there is one thing that happens with exoplanets that can never happen with Pluto: the planet can pass between its star and us (i.e. eclipse the star). This gives a lot of information about the planet'

Regarding the patch timeline, the article makes it clear they had been working on the patch for months before this went public. > Miller and Valasek have been sharing their research with Chrysler for nearly nine months, enabling the comp

Well, no, the manufacturers didn't ignore them. They responded with a patch, but the researchers didn't like their response. Still doesn't matter though. There are a million shades between quiet disclosure and outright stup

I think people are quick to single out the researchers because there is more at stake when researchers act recklessly. When a journalist does something reckless, it's a problem with that journalist. The Constitution protects other jo

I feel like, public safety aside, people should be mad at these researchers because they give credibility to every ignorant politician, prosecutor, or journalist out there who says that all hackers threaten the public good. How are you sup

by peeters 11y ago
It's not either/or. You're presenting a false dilemma. You can demonstrate the problem without doing it where you put real lives in danger. The researchers acted recklessly.

What about using it as one of many criteria (maybe whether the email seems to contain gibberish being another, which patch files might be classified as).

To the founders: why are you collecting payment before asking me where I live? Are you cool if I sign up through my American VPN and then choose a Canadian shipping address? Edit: I see now that it's leveraging Paypal for shipping inf

This assumes that the shipping rates will be the same anywhere that they serve. That's usually an incorrect assumption. This format allows for variations in the shipping while keeping the same unit price. Edit: Although, I am confuse

Would it be so round were this the case? I assumed it would take a long time for gravity to make a planet's surface round, much longer than it would take to accumulate a bunch of impact craters.

Keep in mind that this can also be code for "we didn't get a good vibe from you, but since it's hard to explain intangibles, we'll say it's not our type of market." Investors also aren't necessarily above

Honest question, how does privacy come into play here? If you're given a /64, even if you change the last 64 bits, isn't it trivial for someone to assume everything from the first 64 is you?

Interesting. Wouldn't the effects tend to cancel each other out because the inclination of the Earth spends half the year with the poles facing each to and from the Sun? Also since the Earth's inclination is 7 degrees, why do th

I wasn't concentrating on any specific satellite, just noticing a very noticeable trend of 24 h period orbits with inclinations between 0 and 15 degrees. They are not eccentric, so I think it rules out Molniya orbits. The trend is re

Assuming you were talking about debris, you can choose to stop tracking objects in the tracking station. This also destroys the object, unlike the pesky real world. But if you've got that many stations/satellites that you want to

So, question on the geostationary satellites. A lot of them have relatively high inclinations, like ~14 degrees. At first I thought this was because the countries that use them are at corresponding latitudes, but then I realized they&#x27
