But would anybody in their right mind do a targeted attack against a company, that could put a $10M price (or higher) on their head without any problems?
Yes, because this is the real world and not some funny action movie staring Steven Segal.
Corporate espionage and corporate sabotage are a very real thing that happens constantly and sometimes is even state sponsored.
Interestingly this was done *after* something has been posted on Slashdot. This is a strange new world where Slashdot actually is at the forefront of something rather than reporting several days after the fact.
However Brainpool curves with "random-like" non-sparse primes, are banned in TLS v1.3, even those these curves provide additional security protection against refined power analysis attacks including those that utilize zero values and zero coordinates. Note Brainpool curves are currently supported in TLS v1.2.
I really miss the discussions about things like string theory, at least they pretend to be in english.
I think my brain was Slashdotted by your post, oldschool style:)
It's as important as society makes it. When there are people whose only contact information you know is via Facebook it's important. When there's events that only advertise over Facebook it's important. When there are items for sale only on Facebook it's important.
For me, Facebook is quite important, not posting my information on it, but rather the ability to browse it.
I've always said, when you disable location on Android it's more likely that you're just toggling your own ability to see the location data that Google is collecting.
And you've always been wrong. Disabling location services does exactly what it says on the box. However that is not the only method of obtaining a location.
I had a broken tankless / on-demand water heater. It sucked too. I replaced it and all is well. Unless some laws come in I'm going to stick with tankless. Sooooo much better than a tanked one that wastes energy heating water no one uses.
That would be amazing if it wasn't completely wrong.
Baseload doesn't, and never has meant "feeds all power it produces". Not in any text book, not translated from any language. And things that aren't baseload are definitely not all load following. You are also missing others like "peaking" and....
and wind and solar is not load following
Correct, wind and solar are classed as intermittent. They aren't baseload because they don't provide minimum demand energy, they aren't load following because they don't follow the load but rather the energy source, and they aren't peaking because they don't operate in peak demand / tarrif based systems.
Just slap some kind of a GMO label on it and move on.
Labels naturally carry a negative connotation. The act of requiring the label even more so. It shouldn't be the marketing department's job to convince people that products are healthy, it should be the critic's job to prove otherwise.
Next up: legal obligation to label every food which is not Halal because some people have some feelings about the matter.
Hey, how about they just make them LABEL these new and exciting foods for being gene-edited, and let the consumer decide?
Sounds fair to me, no?
Oooh a label. Why is there a lable on it? What does it mean? I don't know but they were forced to label it so it must be bad. The act of labelling itself has a connotation among consumers.
How about you prove something is worth labeling before you overwhelm consumers with pointless information.
Think about it... Saudi fund investing in Tesla. Oil wealth investing in disruptive technology that can potentially obviate the need for petroleum fuels.
Thought about it. Makes perfect sense. The Saudi's long ago figured out that oil was too valuable to burn. Regardless of what happens in the car space there are some things certain: oil consumption will continue for reasons nothing at all to do with cars, oil production will decline eventually.
The Saudis have for a long time been investing in alternatives to oil. Tesla is just a small part of it. e.g. The Saudis own 50.1% of the Canadian Wheat Board. They partnered with Softbank to turn it into a technology hub. Investment in the past year has seen a decline and they are pushing heavily to reverse this trend. For a read up on this why not google "Saudi Vision 2030" and note that their oil sector isn't part of it.
Javascript. Malware hidden in software. Virtualization. These are all real-world scenarios which affect basically everyone.
No they aren't. The ability to read a memory location through speculation is irrelevant unless you have hours to exfiltrate memory from a system and even longer to analyse it. In order to make use of these vulnerabilities someone needs to have intimiate knowledge of the system they are currently on.
Drive by malware utilising spectre is not a real-world scenario.
If you offer someone server time on the cloud, be worried. If you're a government agencency with hostile state actors embedded and attempting to elevate their rights, be worried. If you're a user surfing the internet then calm the fuck down.

Indeed, which is why guns should be hard to get. Go for the chainsaw man!

I also already pull my phone out of my pocket FAR too much as it is.
Sounds like you need a smartwatch :-)

First they said they'd never censor.

Yes, Yes, Yes, No, No, Unlikley.
And you must really have missed it because we've talked about the Facebook marketplace a few times on Slashdot.
They retire that pile of shit yet or is Poettering still sucking everyone's dicks to keep it?
Given Linus's own comments on the matter why would you think anyone who matters cares?
*This product is not officially available in Australia.
FTFY. We haven't cared about what was available for many years, availability never stopped us.
begins to grow tired of calling their representatives
If this is required, maybe you have a crappy representative.

Except weed, running around naked, drinking in public, and all the other fun things.
I've had multiple situations where I was incorrectly given a room that was already occupied
I was on the receiving end of it. The end result was flowers and copious amounts of nice booze sent to my room by a very embarrased concierge.
What if it was a naked 10 year old and he pulled that entering unannounced BS?
Then a naked 10 year old is screaming instead of a woman? I fail to see your point.
It definitely is. If for no other reason than the novelty of the sign on the way in: "Caution, don't run, deep holes, don't walk backwards"
So they shouldn't have a problem if they just provide more power? You sound like you live somewhere where cheap power is a thing.

Even with China and other SE Asia countries who use slave level wages to create cheap exports the US is ranked #2 in the manufacturing competitiveness
Implying that a culture of working yourself to death, overtime, and 2 weeks of holidays a year is somehow an improvement?
Javascript is on your system. Malware hidden in applications is real, and on people's systems.
The capabilities of the attack vector are important. Reading memory is not an issue for drive by malware.
