Can’t you do banking on the web via your phone? Same as desktop users?

Kill, not murder. If the country ends your life they are doing it under their authority, not outside their authority.

I’m fairly sure the modem firmware on the Pixels was never open. There’s some hardware that will never have open firmware to it. Especially when that firmware deals with regulated airwaves like cell signals.

Seems like the solution is to bus in new residents if such a trial was needed.

CCTV doesn’t need rights management. Nor do advertising billboards.

The device doing the decryption may not be the same device that does the decompression. Eg a small edge gateway could be doing the VPN, while the end device is decoding the video.

Security standards can move extremely slowly when the security of the incumbent algorithm hasn’t been sufficiently compromised, despite better (faster, smaller) alternatives. Tech Politics comes into it.

Sounds about right. Plus when it’s time to go Mutually Assured Destruction, ie to those capable of attacking the US mainland, I’m going to assume they would be doing all this from whatever the successor to Mt Weather is.

The pain of merging acquired company networks cannot be overstated! IPv6 can help, but in my experience there's just soo much old IPv4 tech that no one is prepared to migrate to IPv6.

In my experience, the top level exception handler will catch all incl Throwable, and then inspect the exception class and any nested exception classes for things like SQL error or MyPermissionsException etc and return the politically correc

240/4 can be hijacked/used as private IP space currently by a lot of devices. I think Windows might be the hold out. But for internal routing and IoT it’s very useful. Can never be used as publicly routable space. I’d like to see

The reasoning I’ve heard is: it didn’t matter anymore, the damage was already done and there was no way any attempts at recovering from it would have been successful.

Would adoption of the new name been easier if the version started at TLS 3.0/matched the SSL version it originated from?

It’s always interesting to hear other people’s approaches- Thanks for the insights!

Presumably at some point in your environment you are doing MFA? Just not at every step? Ie If someone broke into your office, opened computer, inserted the hardware security key, would they get in? Or is there something else non-physical go

Not if they ask for the current password at the same time. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44265372

PCI requires multi-factor auth these days, so you’ll likely find now the ssh password will be your password plus a OTP at the end.

Yeah your original post didn’t state citizens. It’s common for residents to receive free primary education for their children in most countries. Eg UK, AU, NZ, Canada all do. Work visa or permanent resident visa.

Yes agree a lot do include education. But, not all the jobs there come with such perks.

In the UAE, you pay for your kids education from day one to the end. There’s no free ride, unless you’re a local. I’m not sure how many other countries are like this. I’d say most countries provide free education to their residents. But, no

From a network operators perspective, endpoints can be compromised. How can I trust the endpoint will enforce all the security rules required to be attached to the lan? How can I trust they won’t try send data to malicious hosts?

Well, just give up using shared hosting for services that need to be locked down. Ain’t going to happen though, because a different and at times overlapping group of people would be inconvenienced.

Encrypted SNI was never about hiding which specific articles in Wikipedia you are looking at. It was about hiding the fact you are looking at Wikipedia at all. There are valid use cases for TLS middleboxes. Anyone having to secure a network

So what you’re saying is that for 20-30k you’d make at least 1m by holding them all for 25+ years?

That law only says the devices have to have unique IDs. It doesn’t say anywhere (from my quick skim) that those unique IDs need to be recorded against/associated with patient records when they are implanted. Or have I misread?

That environment was directly proceeded by WW2, which required massive capital investment to rebuild Europe[1]. In the UK we were still rationing candy and meat during the early 50s[2]. So, I’m not particularly eager to recreate those condi

Definitely don’t set security questions to the password itself. Use the password generator to come up with some random words, different for each question.

Thanks for the reply, and glad to know it’s something you’re already thinking about!

Yeah my thinking is even if they don’t have the users IP, knowing and seeing all the traffic associated with a specific public key would allow them to build a profile of the user. Eg based on the specific sites visited, payload sizes potent
