The research doesn't necessarily imply that any typical device has such a high failure probability. From the paper: > The three private keys revealed by the 11 faulty [RSA] signatures in our [passively observed] data were associat

Note that the Kindle devices themselves still do not support ePub files. (EDIT: as of the last time I checked a month or two ago, but maybe this has changed?) Previously, you could send a MOBI file to your Kindle email address, and it would

I think this comment reflects a bunch of differences in our perspectives that I don't really feel inclined to spend a lot of time unpacking. Suffice it to say that in my opinion, context always matters (which also means I'm hesi

Without knowing the context, I would tentatively agree that your example seems more like a mistranslation. Nevertheless, in my experience those tend to be the exception rather than the rule. I've seen a lot more cases of subtitles (bot

And most importantly (according to the complaint), Opendoor knew it wasn't true. They were deliberately adjusting offer prices downward from their own estimated market value, and they had lots of internal data showing that the result

A "global ice age" was never something that climatologists were seriously worried about, even in the 1970s. It was a media distortion based mainly on research into the possibility of an ice age in the distant future -- like, 10,

Getting rid of DRAM would take us back a lot farther than 20 years. A typical desktop PC circa 2000 using PC133 RAM would have had a memory access latency in the tens of nanoseconds.

I'm still bummed about the discontinuation of the H2. Every alternative that I've been able to find with comparable specs is at least twice as expensive.

Yup. I didn't say that just to get in a dig at Google; I said it because after glancing at the search results, and having worked at a similarly "data-driven" company for a long time, it seems like the most likely and obvious

The actual situation here is more like: you're told you can have up to a gallon per day, but if you actually try to take a gallon every day, you're told that doing so is harming their operations, because you're taking up too

What if I offer "unlimited ice cream, up to 1 cone per day for a month", and then after you pay for a month and ask for an ice cream cone every day for three consecutive weeks, I refuse and say your demands are excessive? Sure, I

But that statement itself is very misleading, because it's using an opaque gas cloud as an illustration of an empty , transparent region of space.

Sounds similar to the behavior of Guava's LoadingCache. If you try to fetch a key that's not in the cache, the supplied callback is used to fetch it. While the value is being loaded, other threads can access the cache concurrently

It definitely doesn't always happen, but my understanding is that when the anesthesia is extremely deep, the brain's electrical activity can be so low as to be undetectable ("isoelectric").

This is a philosophical assumption , and one that should be open to challenge, despite how intuitively sensible it seems. For instance, I could equally well argue that when somebody undergoes deep general anesthesia and all measurable acti

That's a defense-in-depth measure; it can't be relied on. The exact same attack can be used against targets on a corporate network that doesn't use the RFC1918 address ranges.

Same-origin isn't sufficient, because an attacker who controls the DNS resolution of their domain can create a DNS record with the same origin that points to an internal target address. (And before you ask, no, the browser can't r
