I was to understand from the article that it falls back to being a keyed lock, so you'd just use your keys. It'd be pretty dumb to restrict your only method of ingress to something that you can only access when you have your (char

Presumably you can revoke the phone's access to the door as soon as you get home, though, because the two need not be permanently bound to one another.

In addition to the problems with your concept of the security model of locks that other commenters have addressed, I'd like to point out that while requiring unique per-person authentication tokens aids in per-user access revocation, i

I'm a bit confused by this comment. It sounds like you need to buy an extra thing for $49 to get it to work over the internet at all. Assuming you use the base model, what needs to go online, and who is the key and log data being trans

"The average frequency of the in the most recent 10 SOTU addresses (2004-2013) was 47,458 per million words; in the first 10 addresses (1790-1799, all delivered as speeches to Congress) it was 93,201 per million words, almost double th

I don't see how that changes the individual researcher's incentive to make achieving short term, publishable discoveries a priority.

That's really not the point. Whether or not you know what you are doing , you are the mechanism by which child porn is distributed. From a Bayesian perspective, you can just decide how "at fault" you are. If you're in

I totally want to do this, but I'm kinda disturbed by the fact that they don't explicitly mention how the anonymization is done. Given that they want to study dynamics, I'm guessing they are going to be collecting timestamped

That doesn't make any sense at all. The fact that you can't access it doesn't mean you're not aiding in the distribution of it. If someone puts a ham sandwich in a locked box to which you do not have the key, and you bri

You mean why doesn't our (hopefully non-authoritarian) government not prevent Americans from buying things from Chinese people? I don't think we should be taking our policy advice from the Chinese government.

Not to mention prisoners probably get all or nearly all their books from the library, and people outside of prison have many other options.

I'm agnostic about the whole matter, but I would guess the question is whether they have the same definition of "good evidence" that I have. I suspect their threshold is much lower than mine. Without seeing any of the evidenc

When giving talks, I usually write a script accompanying each slide and include it in the "Notes" box. I don't read from the script while giving the presentation, but it's always there for reference after the talk.

You could always use white-listing for encrypted e-mails - refuse all encrypted e-mail not from people on your contacts list or people whose keys you've signed, etc.

I think it's more likely that the bar for "scandal" will be significantly raised. Consider what has happened in just 20 years where we went from Clinton who "didn't inhale" (marijuana) to George Bush, whose for

Civil asset forfeiture cases in the US, insanely, have a reversed burden of proof and are in re actions against the assets to be seized. When assets are seized by law enforcement, you have to petition for them to be returned and prove tha

In Texas they just added a voter ID law, and my experience was essentially the same as it used to be in Massachusetts - show up, you're on a long list of names, etc, but now you have to show a government-issued ID to vote. I'm not

From the article: Active attacks, involving a device called an “IMSI catcher,” may still be able to eavesdrop on individual calls by manipulating a phone’s security settings directly, without having to crack the encryption. So, just harde

I have T-Mobile, and I have to say, I've been quite happy with it and I've been just waiting for the other shoe to drop. The only negative thing I hear about them is people don't like the coverage area - which doesn't bo

You don't have to grow a beard, you can just put a fake beard on. I can't imagine it looking more ridiculous than the linked modifications, even for a woman.

That seems remarkably impractical, and it would probably draw a lot of attention.

Wow, effusive. Personally, I would probably choose to wait more than 1 day before seeing if a given paper has "revolutionized" an industry.

Probably a similar device but with some sort of low-power NFC transponder rather than a physical connection.

I'm not really sure what attack you are envisioning here. If they have access to your e-mail client, they should be able to just lift your account credentials, allowing them to add a new PGP key to the key ring, then issue all the pass

Encrypting e-mails at rest on the server should be done anyway and is nothing to brag about. Obviously there's nothing the e-mail provider can do about e-mail that's not sent end-to-end encrypted - that's just a fact and impl

I'm a little disturbed by the thing about inbound e-mails being encrypted. That's a "won't read your mail" not a "can't read your mail" solution. If I'm counting on you to encrypt it before it re

I don't know if I've ever experienced personal (home) fire alarms going off for no reason, and I've never had them go off because of an actual fire, but I have had them go off when someone else is cooking (alerting me that so

by x1798DE 12y ago
Yeah, I think this actually may explain things better than specificity. Even if the false alarm rate is low, the rate of actual, life-threatening fires is incredibly low in modern day, so chances are almost every time you hear a fire alar

Just to add to this, getting in touch with a Wikipedian who deals with this sort of thing a lot - preferably before starting the assignment, but if necessary after some sort of drama has occurred - probably goes a long way. There are a lot
