It's a perceptual argument I think. If publishers like EA and Ubisoft lose faith in the system's ability to protect against piracy, they're less likely to go out of their way to develop for it. This is especially true for Nin

I don't disagree with the statement, but it is still missing the point. This is still equating user features with fundamental operating system security choices and presenting it as an either/or option. 1. They are two wildly diffe

This is really cool stuff! I think it's a particularly novel idea of using on-die fuses to prevent firmware downgrade. I don't know how common that is in the console security world, but the amount of actual firmware updates vs. so

The two have nothing to do with one another. Everything you list as missing are user convenience features. Not OS security features. There is no (or very little) perception of user sensitive data being stored on the switch itself, so from

Grrr, paywalled research articles. I have some questions that maybe someone who has read the paper (or has access to it may be able to find out). The abstract talks about Outstanding effectiveness and fairly positive effectiveness, what wa

I tend to agree. Every ICO page mainly struggles with number 3. I never get what they are selling, probably because they're not selling anything other than the idea of buying in to their ICO. Let's take a (somewhat snarky and defi

This is an over-simplification. It is actually hard for a foreigner who has no tipping experience coming in. It's not what to tip, It's when/where that is the problem. So sure the general rule is this percentage is for servic

I don't pretend to know the inner workings of South Korea's political turmoil right now. But hasn't it long been held/believed that Samsung has had a rather dominant political position from behind the scenes in South Kor

IANAL, but I would imagine no or not to any hugely extensive degree. You charge in USD and require US billing addresses that would most likely be enough to say you operated in US only. If customers go out of their way to defeat that, then i

Yeh on researching a bit after this comment, I found exactly that. Server source code is still a "To be released" without a strong date. Other criticisms are generally around lack of full crypto audit, which as far as I'm awa

It's actually a legal term. A redundancy in Australia means that the position you fill is no longer required. You're paid out accordingly to be sacked and the company cannot hire for that exact position (title, role, job) for some

Apologies this is interpretation not actual experience, so grains of salt. It's not strictly clear to me, but reading through what they're doing, the ME isn't re-engaged or its unclear how it recovers itself. Unless the ME is

You also have the reverse problem which is alluded to in the article, that a Phone number for a non-traveller, is pretty static and unlikely to be changed by the user often. However Email is more disposable and I can spin up and shut down e

Sure, most won't right. But clearly in this thread some people are willing to do that and I'm not convinced that there is a large burden/cost to signal to allow this. The problem for me is that my contact list of Signal users

You're missing the point. Neither Phone number of Email address/username solve the problem you're proposing. But an email address/username is a lot more transient than a phone number. I can change emails/usernames v

For what its worth, Linux Mint is generally considered a Frakendebian and pretty bad. I used to use it until I did a bit of reading in to debian distros and Mint's practices. It made me sad. https://lwn.net/Articles&#x2

I overheard someone talking about there being timed strings outputted to the serial lines on the badge (And the TX, RX and GRND pins were not together) but take that as conjecture and I was too shit/lazy to check while there, so unconf

You seem like you might be knowledgable here, so I'll ask this one here. Is Arxiv considered a Peer Reviewed Journal or is it Cornell's submission database? Their site really doesn't allude one way or the other so it makes me

I don't know much about it as well to be honest other than bits I've seen and I opted for avoiding the area pretty soon after. If it is, its ultimately self-limiting. Other cities around the world have happily embraced urban densi

Not so much, but the long bow they drew relied pretty heavily on the existence of the buses. The buses were a centralised point in SF that had all the Tech companies and tech workers so they could make a showing. Otherwise you've just
