Of course, judges can be easily faked too. How do you know it’s the real judge on the phone? I guess you could always send someone to the courthouse in person, but that seems prohibitively expensive. And anyway, how much money can we expect

Can you point to the specific subsection of §86a StGB that would apply here? I feel like the law would be especially difficult to apply in this context given that the domain names offered by cock.li are obviously picked for the sole purpose

You want this guy to be put in jail over his childish joke domain name, and he’s supposed to be the bad guy? Look in the mirror.

You know, you don’t need the source code to tear a binary apart in IDA.
187.
by rosndo 5y ago
And the people who can do so are usually the same people who’d be perfectly capable of analyzing binaries directly. Besides, you’ll never know if the code you’re looking at abuses some compiler quirk without studying the binary.

> Banks borrow money cheap. Can a regular person do that? No. Of course not. There are a plenty of cheap loans available to regular persons, but of course you have to be an adult to access those.

In the statement you quoted he seems to carefully avoid backing the protesting farmers, no? I really don’t see how you could reasonably read that as a statement of support.

Don’t get stuck on the “emergency requests”, the people faking those are perfectly happy to fake court orders too. > but that's not an excuse for "it should work this way" which is the direction everyone seems to be taking

> delaying production for a few hours Ah yeah, I think you are totally right. Our disagreement stems from the fact that I don’t believe that few hours is sufficient at all.

It should be as easy as linking a malware sample, no? I think the spam you’re referring to is usually targeting the “Website” field of Wordpress comments, which turns the username of the commenter into a hyperlink.

In the real world these documents are usually not authenticated, perhaps beyond trying to get a person on the phone by googling the issuing authority. It’s actually a pretty novel idea that companies should be prepared to deal with fake cou

This is so deeply wrong. You will go to jail if you act like this. > Look, if you want to preserve your rights you've gotta stand up for them. You have absolutely no such right to refuse to comply with subpoenas, search warrants or

This isn’t a fix. Warrants are easy to fake, not necessarily easy to verify.

by rosndo 5y ago
As the article points out, nobody actually verifies these requests. So no, I can’t point you to such an incident. Have people been held in contempt for failing to comply fast enough? for sure.

It shouldn’t and can not be the responsibility of the recipient to solve this. All the blame rests of the federal legislators, not companies which have to process requests from entities without any clear mechanism to verify them. > It ma

No, except for easy-to-influence websites that scrape numbers from sketchy sources and accept user submissions without verification. Not that the inability to confirm a phone number in a hypothetical phone book would be an excuse for noncom

That’s really not the case. What is “bad faith” about suggesting that the secretary of state probably isn’t going to rapidly solve this problem for you? It’s not even about being a “devils advocate”, the balance of probabilities rests squar

> whose number should also be independently verifiable This is not a legal requirement. If you fail to comply with a legitimate request because you couldn’t verify the number, you go to jail.

by rosndo 5y ago
This is a solution that can only be implemented by the legislative branch of the federal government. (Very unlikely to happen) The problem is indeed unsolvable by the recipients.

Where do you intend to find the numbers to call? There are towns in the US where the local government consists only of a couple of people who may only do local government work for a few hours a week. There are towns with essentially no onli

I’m really confused as to how this relates to what is being discussed here.

So your solution is to get rid of speedy emergency requests entirely? Sounds like you’re just repeating the point that authenticating these requests is impossible, as that authentication would have to happen fast. And then you need to do th

And how do you identify the real government for some small town? There are many that don’t even have websites. Contact the state government to ask? There’s a good chance nobody will be able to provide the answers you seek on short notice.

Haha. It’s also trivial to create a fake police department in some small town, set up google maps entry etc… What then? What about when you operate internationally and have to accept requests from 100+ jurisdictions?
