There are update logs of the train software. Because of them it is known that workers of the company literally snuck into waiting trains and updated the software without the owners knowing . So really, but far from that.

This is a reason why it was detected a year later - the train service was delayed and it spent late November and whole December in service. So the "expiration" intended for 2021 only manifested in 2022.

Very charitable. The "expiry date" was set to the next servicing date and there was no way for competition to fix this hardcoded date and this was not documented in the official documents. Clearly a way to force buyers to use th

It is also investigated by the Agency of Internal Security and I really doubt they don't have huge problems out of this. This is taken extremely seriously internally. There's a ton of evidence to prove what happened and they hav

Ironically this one may actually be better represented by a for loop, because after 20 times or so you might want to reconsider your situation.

You already face the same threat then. Many, if not most, nontrivial programs have at least one way to escalate to arbitrary code execution from config. For example sway has exec, basically any useful editor has "on save actions",

But this is what hobbyist developers care about, which is what ultimately matters.

Can you link to some study that confirms it? This sounds far too simplistic to be true, especially for something as complex and unpredictable as the economy.

Saying it's an urban legend implies it's false, but that's a bit nitpicky IMO. Most people can read most such "scrambled" sentences without a lot of effort, so that part is certainly true (and non-obvious). The orig

As a pedestrian and car hater I don't mind that too much. Pedestrians always have priority on the walk signal, and there is a special separate light to allow/disallow cars to turn. In practice they are used where it's safe to

One: anonymous[1] method of payment online. Maybe this is not a problem you like, but your statement is trivially false. [1] pseudonymous (in case of BTC) if we're being pedantic.

Can you share some examples of the outdated information and the lack of understanding by the authors, so we may all learn? From a quick skim I noticed the article mentions CopperheadOS, even though it was renamed to GrapheneOS in 2019, so I

Even with n=1 you can get something useful. IIRC "on average" if you have ID x than the best population estimation is 2*x. Of course the error margin is immense, but it's still better than nothing.

It's good to consider this but... Plenty of sites expose user ID as a regular integer. In some cases you might want to avoid this (leaking user count to competitors etc), but I have never heard about anyone calling this a vulnerability

In my country you can login to your government services using a bank account (the easy way) and by creating a proper account with password and everything (the hard way). Or with a proper smart card if you really need it.

I disagree. I think the trade-off is very reasonable. At some point you need to retry (even if the trigger is user manually pressing F5 in the browser/clicking a button again/running a program again). Because they actually have so
