Owners and users are different people in the case of enterprise issued devices, which is a very common use cases for things like this. In that case the user isn't trusted, not because of maliciousness, but because of security mistakes,

It is quite surprising to most people when they first learn that there are more real numbers than there are integers, but there are just as many pairs of integers as there are integers. In other words, infinity*infinity=infinity whilst 2^in

Excluding parental controlls from 'security' feels like more of an idealogical stance than a practical one. I can see the argument based on Free Software principles. But I don't see anything else. There are so many cases of

A distribution 'owning' a directory means that the package manager is allowed to change files in there, and allowed to assume nothing major was changed from what it installed. A distribution that doesn't own any directories l

No map shown to a driver at the detail level of navigating intersections should have to care about projections much. At that small a scale earth is approximately flat, and any half decent projection should have minimal distortions of any ki

Dolby vision can use 12 bit channels, and they are proud of it, but it also has a 10 bit channel mode, and that is used essentially everywhere.

I think PC displays are not the innovation driver here. They get technology leftovers from TV. And TV doesn't care about Pixel density because of viewing distance. Meanwhile phones (and apple's VR thing) have massive pixel density

I believe the point is that the main research is now on oled and micro-led. Those are truly LCD-less. Instead of having a backlight that is variously dimmed by an LCD panel, they have self emmisive pixels. Micro led truly aims to just have

HDR content is pretty damn mainstream and uses 10 bits per channel for 30-bit color. Some variants can do 12 bits per channel, but I believe this isn't often used. Moreover, this content often comes with dynamic tone mapping to allow a

The opium war wasn't bad for china because Chinese domestic opium use went up. The war was bad for China because a foreign nation managed to force China to change domestic policy, and then managed to set chinese trade policy to allow t

But the west is far from a single coherent actor. Even just consider that the hegemon that leads the west has changed from great Britain to the US.

Banks still have a required capital ratio. Covid slackened that a little bit, but banks very much still have reserve requirements.

So we can have an informed opinion based on which to vote, and discuss with others to get them to vote more informedly (and in line with what we want).

It is very hard to 'prove' this greed-flation. The coordination happens only through the market in this theory, so there is no damming communication evidence, or even testimony that can prove this is what happened. Perhaps somethi

I feel like some of my groceries are decently competitive markets. But brand momentum and just information insensitivity keeps me (and others) from buying a different product just because their price went up less. And if the price increase

Might be to much nuance in dealing with the obvious tax-dodge of a company splitting up into a conglomerate of subsidiaries. But I do very much like the idea.

Currently the SEC disclosure work scales sub-linearly with size. Because you only need to report on 'material information' and what counts as material is about relative size. Forcing companies to report on any effort above 1 mil m

There were also wars outside of Europe before WW2. And im fact, if you look at numbers, there wrre significantly fewer wars worldwide after WW2 than before. The long peace doesn't refer to a period without wars. Just to a period with m

It could be a 'high variance, low expected value' play. Like pulling the goaly when you are behind. That kind of strategy only makes sense if 'losing by a little' and 'losing by a lot' are equally unacceptable.

It counts, but it isn't enough to make the period after ww2 be less peaceful than the period before.

I'm not arguing the flipper shouldn't exist. This kind of potential ruin will be required to get manufacturers to wake up to the risk of bad radio security. I was arguing that this real-life example of impact is actually important

The flipper zero doesn't require anything near as scary to a layman as downloading code of github, and tgen trying to run it based off a readme.md that was poorly written and aimed at people who know how to code. People who don't

Might it be possible to DIY a differential sensor by taking two callibrated air pressure sensors, and subtracting their difference in software? Would solve needing holes in walls, etc.

From what I know, this holds for air purifiers. Quantity of air moving through matters more than quality of the filter, because of re-circulation. The cool part of a PPS to me is that, because it is a one-shot system (no recirculation) it c
