Speculatively we can say hyperbolically that hypothetically the tree did in tautology fall but when we talk a step back and deconstruct the epistemology and if we address it from a concrete standpoint as opposed to hyperbolic (which proper deconstructionists of course always do) we can't say that the tree didn't not not fall.
The story talks about UEFI/EFI attacks, which allows access below the OS. I see your point though.
Is there an API that allows you to talk to the ARC (or to reflash it)? How do people program it (surely not jtag; or rather, there must be some way in addition to jtag)?
somebody will figure out how to pirate the film from their living room with much better quality and have a full resolution torrent up within 3 hours of the film's release.
Even if that happens, pirating weirdly hasn't seemed to cut into the movie studio's profits. So, they probably don't care about that (exception being of course when they're asking for tougher copyright laws).
Prior to this, I'd have thought America and especially its government agencies do not hack.
The US has a long history of hacking spying. One of the recent complaints against the NSA is they keep exploits for their own use, instead of finding them and fixing them (thus they potentially leave everyone exposed).
The Stuxnet attack was a difficult one to pull off because they had to go over an air-gap, and attack very expensive equipment (most of us don't have access to that equipment, and can't afford it).
Be aware that extracting from DRM, distributing software to remove the DRM, or even teaching people who to remove the DRM is illegal and could end you in jail. Whether it's trivial or not doesn't matter.
A lot of your post is good, including the advice to profile before optimizing, and looking for bottlenecks. However, people who think that compilers produce excellently optimized assembly are invariably people who've never looked at the assembly output of a compiler.
It is in fact quite easy to produce better assembly than a compiler, although certainly time-consuming.
You could argue, for example, that the reason quantum mechanics is indeterminate is that the simulation doesn't actually calculate the location at particles at the smallest level until that level of accuracy is needed. It's a neat idea, but indistinguishable from "That's just the way physics works."
Soooooo......then if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a sound?
It's like every New Age fruitcake using the word "quantum" in sentences to make the word salads and bullshit they spew somehow sound "sciency".
Quantum mechanics has discovered action at a distance and that's why I can see your aura will benefit from homeopathy. Don't try to argue, it just turns your aura green.
Yeah, even when I am the only person working on the project, I still don't give myself access to production. All it takes is a deploy script and a jenkins server, and you never have to touch that thing. Maybe to get logs or something. If you deploy more than once or twice in the lifetime of the project, setting it up will save time and make things easier.
We should still try to know if Russia attempted to interfere regardless of whether they were successful or not in changing the outcome. Focusing on the outcome itself just turns into a political scuffle
0.8 miles between take-over on speedway would be much more alarming.
Yes it would. Do you know what Google's actual numbers are for take-over on the speedway? (Or freeway here in California)? These kinds of numbers are kind of important for evaluating the quality of self-driving cars.
It would be nice if we had similar numbers from Google. How long do their cars go on average before a human needs to take over?
That number is a lot more useful than "total miles driven" or "accident per/1000 miles"
"As PulseAudio forms part of what is typically preferred to as the plumbing layer of Linux userspace, it is a non-trivial job to integrate it fully to form a complete system. This is why we strongly encourage you to go via your distribution whenever possible."
A clear sign of an over-complex system: one which even programmers and sysadmins are advised to not touch.
It's been clear for a long time that it was a puzzle (at least, to people who lived near the area). I stared at those things for a while trying to figure it out, but never could.

Snowden reported quite a bit of hacking. It's also known that the NSA was monitoring Angela Merkel's phone, presumably through hacking it.
In a very cool hack, the US sent submarines to spy on Soviet underwater cables.
I've read reports that the US had a corporate espionage program in the 80s and 90s, but I can't find any reference to it right now somehow.
It doesn't really matter as long as you have control of the innermost ring of the CPU.

If one existed, then two exist. There's a high probability of that heuristic being true.
The Ford Raptor is a beautiful beast, though.
And it's been hacked, multiple times, actually.

After 100% likelihood comes the level 11. It really goes that high.

Well said.
he's deliberately insulted the US's firmest foreign ally
Firmest? Who's that? I'm thinking Kurdistan. They're basically willing to act like the most humble vassals, even when we treat them badly.
This from a guy who basically campaigned on fiscal conservancy.
He campaigned on a lot, but it wasn't on fiscal conservancy. Every candidate gives lip-service to the idea, but it was kind of obvious he wouldn't be that kind of president
Do you think Google (or anyone) is close to getting level5 autonomous cars? Level 5 means you can basically sleep while driving.

I'll be honest I have no idea what you just said. And I read your post three times.
PulseAudio won. Even Slackware gave up and enables pulse audio by default.
"I love my parents, Lady Gaga and Humpty Dumpty."
That's a good example.

A very cool puzzle.
