banks should be rescued by allowing them to "recapitalize" by seizing their customers' deposits
Happened to me when I was a starving student. I had a secondary account with little money on it, 'just in case'. When Credit Lyonnais went belly up and recapitalized, they took the money because the account was 'abandoned'. I discovered it 6 months later when an ATM swallowed my card. No recourse (that I knew of at the time) 'for such a small amount'.
However I think your point hints at a possible counter measure, having similar fingerprints also similarly timed it would interfere with the "broadcast".
Yeah, when you are about to do a decryption, spawn a bunch of other processes tasked at decrypting bullshit at the same time.
I currently have 300 processes running on my laptop, more on my server. I really wonder how they can filter out the noise of 299 of them to find out the electromagnetic noise of the PGP process (which lasts for only a split second) and THEN exploit that. It's one thing to get the Van Eck of an analog signal of a monitor (two very regular frequencies), another one entirely to get this of an 8 core CPU which uses variable frequencies depending on load.
You have to be crazy enough to want to do a winterover (or a Mars mission).
But you also have to be sane enough to spend over a year in a tin can with a bunch of people you may not like all that much, with nothing much to do, sure death waiting outside and no early exit. I speak from experience.
Arguably the availability of precision munitions changed the moral balance from "bomb a city into submission" into the modern sensibility of "only bomb specific targets of military importance."
And I'm beginning to seriously wonder if that works. Drop a bomb on a building containing a few 'terrorists' or similar. OK, they're dead. But their sons and nephews and cousins in the house next door are now pissed off and want vengeance, the neighbors are pissed off and scared and want random bombs to stop falling, etc. So you end up with a lot more people pissed off at you than you started with.
I mean, just look at Iraq and Afghanistan: are they at peace since precision missiles started dropping on their heads ? Nope. With no end in sight.
Look at Dresden, it was NOT nice, but there weren't any nazis OR supporters at the end of the night.
Isn't it ironic that a movie which recounts the story of people smuggling (or simply trying to get permission to use) drugs against the express will of big pharma hits very similar roadblocks with people trying to watch it...?
You are absolutely right, but there is still one type of error which is hard to avoid unless yo ualready know the details of the road: road closures at mountain passes in winter. Plenty of people end up in the snow at the end of a small road because the road is perfectly drivable... after june !
Reason number 9,862 why that TPP is a terrible idea, and will only help multinational corporations instead of the actual citizens.
All it would take is to find a way to automatically pit corps one against the other, and watch how long it'd take before those dumb laws are pulled. But I'm not bright enough to think of a way.
With even the last anonymous payment method gone, the state is happy as it can tax precisely what its worth (of course only those people who can't afford to have all their companies owned by a holding in the crocodile islands)
But then, if ALL movements are traced, maybe the state will finally be able to tax those movements to the Croc islands. Which would be a GOOD thing.
Yeah, and also how about NOT using UEFI and installing your Linux systems in normal mode ? I don't even know if there are advantages to using UEFI on Linux since it's the very first thing I disable when I first boot a system.
Nobody outside the US has ever heard of the Superbowl, so how can there be more viewers than US citizens (many of which don't care enough to watch anyway) ? And no, it's not a troll. If you want to world series to live up to their name, maybe, just maybe, you should invite other countries, no ?
Can you stop calling 'sport' activities that are anything but. Piloting a drone by moving your thumbs around is not a sport. Mountain climbing is. Chess isn't. It's not because you have smelly armpits at the end of the day that it's a sport, you need real sweat for that. Call it what it is: a game.
As someone who has gone to Antarctica to install and run the software I write, I can proudly say I've been doing Devops for decades ! And I just learned the term a minnute ago...
When you say fugly, that's an understatement. I've never used Vista/7/8, but I switched to Linux instead. There's ONE software I need to use under Windows, so I run it in an XP virtual machine. But the last version does not work in XP, so I just installed Win10 pro in a VM. What a monstrosity.
First you need to spend an entire hour clicking various [Do not send my personal data to MS] in 10 layer-deep trees of disorganized (purposely hidden?) settings.
Then you have to get rid of all the tablet user interface (it's a PC, not a fucking toy).
Then you have to try to make sense of the usre interface and try to make it more (impossible) or less look like the old but simple and efficient Win95 explorer window. The simple menus (File, Edit, Help...) are gone, instead you have a 150 pixel high mix of icons, unaligned text, non-clickable symbols, etc...
The style itself is 'aesthetically pure' or some shit like that, meaning that some designer decided to get rid of the limits between graphical elements. Meaning you don't know anymore where you can click, what is a button or a mere decoration. Everything is offwhite and jumbled.
Then the language. I can only purchase Win10 in my country's language. As most people know, you can debug only in English (try searching for error messages in other languages...). But there's an option inside to change the language. Great. After clicking it and 10 minutes later nothing happened (100% CPU), I killed it a few times. Finally overnight it installed. There was no feedback as to what was going on. And the result is a mix of two languages in the various interfaces.
But wait, there's more. The aliasing on the fonts make your eyes bleed. There's an option to adjust it where you click on various choices, but they are ALL way worse than the default. WAY WORSE. XP had perfectly sharp fonts, why would I want fuzzy looking fonts with random dark groups of pixels inside them ?!?
What a festering pile of steaming excrements.
I agree 100% with GP. I went to the Andes 25 years ago and ate many types of bananas, tiny, pink, green, mushy, etc... Many were so good that ever since I've been unable to eat that Cavendish crap. It just makes me gag. I had the same problem for a while after living off fresh caught salmon in Alaska and coming back to eat artificial-fed farm salmon...
The Earth has had periods like this, where the climate was mostly even on the entire planet. When there was one single continent and a massive ocean with currents spreading heat in ways completely different than today, you had rainforest and dinosaurs at or very near the poles.
In short my problem is reading other people's code when they use tons of tricks like that. My own code works fine thank you (and in some cases has been running non-stop since 1993).
I'm no expert on the tax system, but a simple system will be bypassed in simple ways. And your proposition is contradictory by your own admittance. Anyway, just to say that I seriously doubt there's a silver bullet. The best solution IMHO is 1) to find the loopholes one after the other and close them and 2) see what other countries do if there are any good ideas.

And don't forget leptospirosis as well. GF got it, was misdiagnosed repeatedly and almost died of it.

And what when it goes through an integrated 3G card, like the Kindle or many other recent IOT devices ?

If you ever want to stop masturbating with VNC and try the real thing, use vnc -Y -C
I guess you mean "ssh -YC" ?
Hmmm, no, but it has happened (rarely) that I did not read a book because the font was shitty and hard on the eyes.

This would solve problems of white-on-white text, text in images, pages different for robots than for us mortals, shit JS, etc...

I got distracted so I have no idea what actually did there but, damn it, penguins!
Penguins will do that to you...

It matters because if we do not solve this mystery in our lifetime, the genius of Nakamoto will remain a myth forever.
Good.
