If you keep data on a phone that can be unlocked with a key that the phone is able to check then that data is not secure, it is just very hard to get at. Why? Because the laws of physics do not allow the integrated circuits to be magical black boxes that cannot be monitored, copied and emulated. It is that simple. If you need a 100% secure phone it has to keep all of it's data in the cloud and even then only certain uncommon types of encryption are guaranteed to never be circumvented. This is important as the data could be intercepted and decrypted in the future when technology improves enough to allow it. i.e. Quantum computing.
So can you build a 100% secure phone, yes, but can you actually buy one? No. Will you ever be able to buy one, as a civilian? I doubt it. So is that a bad thing? Well that depends on how justified your fear of your particular government is. 20 years from now I'd be more worried by what a rouge AI may do with my data than any bunch of humans may do now.
Unless it becomes a crime to move stores of random numbers across borders it will always be possible to set up dark networks. And why is the opinion of the majority even relevant when they have no idea about how these things work and are used?
There may be serious problems but banning the unstoppable certainly isn't even close to a solution, in fact I see the idea as an admission that certain people do not have the intelligence or imagination to come up with a better solution to the core issues that dark networks are associated with.
The IoT insecurity issue is one that needed highlighting in a way that people would notice, without any real harm being done. If this makes people close a few holes and go looking for others then it is without doubt a very good thing.
He could have done much worse, there are pieces of information that would fit onto a single page that could actually do a lot of harm if violent sociopaths got hold of it. So I see the Neo-Nazism thing as just an advertising ploy, like the sound of a door bell, microwave beep or phone ringing etc. in TV advertisements, a trigger. It makes you stop and take note, but it isn't the real message.
He wouldn't need to use such ploys if most people were not so shallow and ignorant in the first place. Then again advertising would not work either, if the majority of people were intelligent.
It is naive because intelligent people know that once the job was done they and their family would be killed anyway so as to not leave anyone who could raise the alarm before the bomb was used. i.e. You are going to die anyway so you may as well fight them anyway you can because that is that only option that has a greater than zero chance of survival, even if it is a small chance it is better than certain death.
Wasn't this topic already settled? Generally speaking men are risk takers and will walk away if the offer is not good enough whereas women are more interested in longer term stability. Also if you don't compare men and women who refused offers you are just getting half the picture and counting different types of people, those who settled for the first offer and those who risked everything and got a better offer. You are not even counting the ones who walked away so the males that you do count are the more highly paid ones. i.e. As others have pointed out, better negotiators get better rewards by risking everything.
In this age of "positive discrimination" (ugh how I dislike that concept!) women should not be grateful for job offers, they should count on that role being held for a female anyway and take more risks when negotiating.
It is just an up-to-date variation of the sort of training simulators that many first world defence forces have been using for several decades, or longer.
It is the theoretical power output for a given cell surface area illuminated per standard unit of solar illumination. The real number is a lot lower, due to many factors such as sun angle, atmospheric conditions, ambient temperature, cell degradation etc. To get the total energy generated you need to multiply by the day length by day numbers.
There is another big problem with the paper, it overlooks the impact on volcanism that removing ice sheets has. The Earth really isn't that solid and if you take pressure off areas as big as Greenland (1,710,000 square kilometres) there is a global scale rebalancing of magma as it rises 300 meters or more to the level it would be without the weight of 2 km of ice over it. Remember as water all that ice now flows into the sea and spreads out, otherwise global sea levels would not be effected. This results in all volcanic active areas across the globe becoming more active. You can also expect significantly more earthquakes. Why does this matter? Volcanoes cool the climate with aerosols lofted up into the stratosphere, fertilise the oceans with ash fallout and increased hydrothermal vent activity, this creates a feedback loop that opposes the run-away loops that others like to talk about selectively. i.e. The work is literally unbalanced.
MAC access control and bespoke firewall rules solve most problems, the moment a device trips an alarm by going outside of it's allowed access you have your system drop the MAC off the allowed list and alert the owner that the device has a problem.
The question of if you can buy an affordable consumer level WiFi router that can do this is a completely separate matter, and the rule changes that make open router firmware development harder doesn't help either.
It may not be the sort of "exploit" you imagine. Here is a big fat hint, digital logic on silicon chips is not a "black box" so you can't really hide your secrets on them if somebody can access the device physically while it is operating and checking the validity of the access code. This can be done without touching the chip.
Meanwhile Apple now has to face the fact that a universal method has been found to compromise their technology, one that would not have been developed for the FBI if Apple had tried to do as little as possible and just told the FBI the access code, but nothing else.
The stories about a greater risk of hacking were lies, Apple know they could have got the code and destroyed the tools so that the knowledge was lost, except for in the minds of a few key people. Even the names of those people could have been kept from the FBI and each other so that the team could not be coerced back together to repeat the exercise. It was never a question of it it was possible. It was always a question of how long and how much money would it take, as you now can see.
While "normal" only includes one way of looking at the world you are always going to have others who will be made to feel like outsiders, and if they feel like that it will be harder for them to reach out to others when they do need help.

But try going against the "group think" on Reddit and see what happens to you.
Nice troll guys, now get back to work.

They have been in the game for over 30 years, so they don't need to blow their own trumpets like the new guys do.
Yes because if he said "intense mamatic activity" he'd be a pornographer.

Yeah, they could just write the one bot to corrupt all other bots then sit back and watch the mayhem unfold.

That should slow them down a bit.

But they are just about to deploy 1 million of them.
And for extra sneaky squirrel points you have to work out how to use the multiple axis of the device to decode a full stereo audio stream.
Genealogy is an information science as much as anything else.

Rest it on a balloon or other improvised resonator to maximise the effect.

for this thread to turn into a Dick Jousting Tournament.
If anyone has the time to take a break from their boneless appendage waving I'd like to know if there is a BSD equivalent of Turnkey Linux?
