Just read "I married a communist", a novel about the Mccrathy era. There was a part there where someone was unable to get a scholarship because a friend of his was in a blacklist. Yes, I know that technically one can have the money to study without the scholarship, but I bet that someone rich enough to do that would also have enough money to somehow fix his social credit.
Yes, but this is unrealistic in general. It's not like there is a centralized list where everyone's friends and relationships are documented. And even if there was the government agency required to staff it would be ridiculous. You would literally have to trick a moronic populous into entering their own information into a database of sorts. -MZ

Can you calculate how many Newton's it would take to pull your head out of your ass?
We could also build Rube Goldberg machines where we push dominoes that trigger a ball that rolls down a pipe that scares a bird that pecks a remote control that turns the TV on. Or we could not waste a bunch of resources and just press the remote button directly.
The file system isn’t left open, there are kernel exploits in iOS. Apple’s developers aren’t perfect and don’t know where they left things like buffer overflows that can be exploited.
I remember back in the satellite smart card hacking days when we had to "glitch" cards. We would put them in a special card reader and run commands through a loop over and over. As the commands were running through you could adjust the VCC voltage supplied to the card. If you hit the right timing/voltage the card would "glitch" and you could write to protected memory and gain access. You could buy unhacked cards by the hundreds and with enough skill 90% of the cards were glitchable. There isn't any amount of coding skill that can defend against a glitch like that.
Open source is neither more nor less secure than custom code, the analysts noted, but there are certain characteristics of open source that make vulnerabilities in popular components very attractive to attackers.
The main one is that, unlike commercial software, where updates are automatically pushed to users, open source has a pull support model, meaning that users are responsible for keeping track of vulnerabilities, fixes, and updates for the open source they use.
“Open source can enter codebases through a variety of ways, not only through third-party vendors and external development teams but also through in-house developers. If an organization is not aware of all the open source it has in use, it can’t defend against common attacks targeting known vulnerabilities in those components, and it exposes itself to license compliance risk,” the analysts added.

Already addressed in RFC3927 for quite some time. Have Dell update their firmware.
"169.254.0.0/16 - This is the "link local" block. As described in [RFC3927], it is allocated for communication between hosts on a single link. Hosts obtain these addresses by auto-configuration, such as when a DHCP server cannot be found."
You just replied to a comment ending in "but lets not confuse what actually happened" by adding pure speculation on something that may have never happened???
Then finish by saying: "I know what Garadget I'm never going to buy."
> NP-complete problems. "Everyone runs with fear from these problems because they're the perfect example of one of the biggest bogeymen in Silicon Valley: algorithms that won't scale."
Customer: Why is this problem not scaling? Programmer: It is NP-hard we are basically just brute forcing it. Customer: If you can't solve this "NP-hard" problem, then I'll just find someone who will. Programmer: Sure, let me know when that happens.

"the first Intel processor with a 5.0 GHz turbo frequency"
Intel actually qualifies their statement and all the reporters parroted it without the qualification. So basically, just another news day.
Venturebeat: https://venturebeat.com/2018/0...
"the first-ever CPU with a 5.0GHz turbo frequency, said Intel’s Gregory Bryant"
CNET: https://www.cnet.com/news/inte... ...
"the first-ever CPU with a 5.0GHz turbo frequency."

Thirty-two core, 5.0 GHz SPARC M8 processor

If this guy was a mouse he would be the first to get his head snapped in a trap too.

Look at his user_id. Probably University in mid to late 90s.
Ethereum went from ~$10 to ~$400 in a year. That is a 40x increase and far greater than bitcoin.
"choice", hehehe.
> I am pretty sure the summary left out the most important bit, which would make it all make sense.
Are we still waiting for that bit... or did my ADHD kick in mid sentence?
If you have internet and a PC use a softphone such as google voice. Saved my ass 30+ times.

What was the old license model?
When you pay to watch the movie you should get a voucher for a free DVD of the same release.
Why so much publicity on individual cases of private individuals?
It says right in the first sentence: "the only unsolved air piracy in American aviation history"

Nice burn...
So are our electronic devices going to be able to receive a signal and sync wirelessly?
Are suggesting that the gravitational effect diminishes over distance? Maybe even non-lineally?
Nice try Guspaz, we all know it's you.
It's had the same copy of "Ghetto Booty Babes vol. 8" since 1996 so that may not be a fair comparison.
