Or have private-key encoding. That’s the case for HDMI: No-one can manufacture devices that aren’t approved. Of course the funny part is, it’s designed so pirates can only send HDMI output to approved screens (=not recording devices), but f

Does that mean network quality will significantly go down if we shut down the stingrays? I mean when you have 5 nation states deploying a network of stingrays in DC, all trying to compete on being the relay nodes, that does add quite a lot

To me the most surprising result would be if it cost fewer than bombing the nuclear facility. At 100k$ each bomb, Stuxnet looks affordable, plus all the expertise and other attack vectors you get from piecing it togethet.

Given the enforcement served to whistleblowers, I’d be ok if they took financial benefit from leaks: Auction leaked data to foreign intelligence or companies, then make the price known. We’ve been warned enough times. That’s the only way Am

LetsEncrypt chose 3 months. Maybe that’s a hint for us that frequent renewals are better.

But we can also assume that everyone else working in security has their own other bias: Chinese and Russian services must be at work too.

I’m still wondering why they have a hard drive and not just RAM.

For todos, I love flightstrip racks. Yes, it’s ATC gear, but man it’s so satisfying to mark a task done by moving a series of plastic tokens. https://www.google.fr/search?tbm=isch&q=flightstrip+rack

Right, massive shortcuts could be taken with no pilot on board (including the awesome $$$ seats in the front row), but that’s a story for another startup with a 20-year runway.

Supersonic makes me dream but the most cumbersome part in air travel is not on flight, but on the ground, and could be massively improved for much wider ranges of people. But I’m not sure it can happen given that migrant protectionism growi

A good way to image this is, in 1969 for the moon landing they had to code the timestamps in negative. Of course it’s a joke but it tells a lot about how far that time was.

So... can we produce LNG without producing Diesel? I thought crude oil mandated the proportion, and it was a “good thing” that we found some opportunities to consume the Diesel part? We can’t convert the whole world to LNG because we’ll hav

Especially not newspapers. Not only their information often isn’t balanced, it is sometimes so much propaganda filled with verifiable false facts (e.g. on the wage gap) that I wish they would disappear. I mostly use them only to take snap

If you don’t have control on the client, it’s a bad idea: Your suggestion means the password would be the hash itself, and it wouldn’t be necessary for an attacker to know the password.

I don’t mind that they experiment, but not building wrong expectations is important. Without this illusion of choice, they might be more satisfied with an average guy. They might settle younger, spend time building the relationship with a m

Wind is random, the hydroelectric generator could act as battery, drawing current to compensate the lack of wind.

Just for an order of magnitude, even if it’s not the same usage: - One nuclear core: 700MW - Or 50.000 of those microhydraulic turbines.

It’s a known Freakonomics effect that doctors treat themselves much less in case of cancer. They don’t want to just prolong their life if it’s only going to be painful longer, because they know the probabilities and the outcomes better.

I’m not sure your message was clear enough. You’re adressing the example of CNN twisting reality so much to serve Democrats that most of the population now distrusts the media and trusts peer-to-peer information networks, I believe. With th

I wonder as well what is the zone he’s talking about, but he talked about the zone in 9m/s2, not F=mv^2. I guess the first one extends up to 100km altitude, where I think geostationary satellites are, and indeed is very closeby. Edit :

Would you have used your real name if you were gay in 1950? The internet is not where politics are decided, but at the very least that’s where a good part of the debate happens. Use real names and you’ll be able to blackmail people into app

When we made a 10% better linux I doubled my sales. There’s really a compounding effect. When someone improves Spring Boot or Node/Express, we can publish dozens of new websites to address tinier needs – problems that wouldn’t even be
