    I haven't moved any goal posts. I'm asking you to backup your original claim. You won't, because you can't.

    You said "many many parts", so I asked for 3.
    I'm pointing out the fact that the loophole exists in the deal. It's not my loophole - it's literally in the fucking deal.

    You made the claim that the deal has "many many parts" and that "most" of them "directly involve gathering evidence that Iran is complying".

    I asked you to detail 3 of those parts.
    You made the claim. Put up or shut up.

    I also asked you to include the part of the deal that prevents inspections ar certain locations.
    Why? Because even if you went and pulled some language from the deal, you would invariably miss the giant loophole. No one is allowed to "gather evidence" at locations Iran doesn't want them to. Hint: Iran will not let people inspect locations where they're developing nukes.

    Nor is presenting it, or a hash of it, proof of having the corresponding biology.
    It's just a password at that point, and one the legitimate user has no direct control of. If they lose a finger, fuck up their eye with diabetes, get a scar on their face, etc. they're fucked. If an attacker can spoof their biometrics (or the hash a biometric reader puts out), the legitimate user can't easily reset their biology.

    Nope. It's just the private key. Someone who pwns the host machine can copy the private key and reuse it later, with no need to know whatever opens the Yubikey/whatever device and no need to physically have the Yubikey/whatever device.

    Unless someone is physically inspecting the "something you have" or "something you are", it's just something you're telling them, and thus it's effectively "something you know".

  13. I somehow quoted the wrong thing, and going back to find the right think I realized the original bitching was specifically about 12 KHz sine, triangle, etc. waves sounding the same.

    That's correct. Those waveforms only sound distinct at lower frequencies. Once you get over 8 KHz they start to sound alike, and when you hit half of your hearing range they're going to be indistinguishable.

  14. 16kHz square, triangle, and sine waves all sound definitely different

    WTF?

    There's a reason old sound hardware had dedicated voices for square waves, triangle waves, sawtooth waves, etc.
    They sound incredibly different, even at the same pitch and volume (RMS).

    Obama or any successors don't need the Congress to wage war.

    The President cannot declare war. Congress declares war.
    The President can deploy the military, but cannot unilaterally wage war without a declaration of war.

    Any disagreeable or extended action without a declaration of war from Congress, or without an existing agreement calling for US action (such as in Vietnam, Korea, etc., where the US was never at war) will result in Congress having a fit. Congress would then cut funding to the military, impeach the President, etc. to stop it.

    There was a bit of rabble rousing from the usual suspects when Trump launched a few missiles recently. Some congress critters were hemming and hawing about how Trump should have gone to Congress for approval before taking action, even though he didn't have to. They groaned about how if he wants to continue action like that he's gonna have to seek their approval so they can make a point about putting him through the ringer, making him kiss the ring, etc. before ultimately letting him do his job and engage in military actions that they and their constituents approve of.

  24. Re:Kenh, you are being lied to on Trump Withdraws US From Iran Nuclear Deal (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    It's not a treaty. It's an agreement. Iran agreed to do a thing, the UNSC permanent members and the EU agreed to do a thing, all within the bounds of their respective executive powers. Congress's approval was not necessary, because nothing in the deal required legislative authority.

    An agreement between nations is called a treaty.

    What Iran had was an agreement with Obama. An agreement that delivered them pallets of cold hard cash for a promise that we weren't allowed to verify and that we already knew they weren't going to keep.

    Fuck anyone who supports that shit.

    As for the Trade Deal, Trump already supports TPP and literally said he wants guest workers to do your jobs to a bunch of supporters at a rally (that went over about as well as you'd expect, but his approval rating still hasn't budged).
