However, the CA should issue the new cert for free in this case. It costs a CA exactly nothing to issue a new cert. Its not a consumable commodity. Allowing them to indiscriminately cancel certs without proof of compromise gives them access to every site's checkbook.
With no PROOF of being hacked, even the the fact that at some point in time the site was running a vulnerable openssl version seems insufficient proof to cancel a certificate, and require payment for a new one. Remember, none of this can be the fault of the site. As long as it is patched now.
And before the CA cancels any certificate, they themselves better be assured that they were always running a clean stack.
Or just display a short number code. Displaying a QR code won't solve anything, it will just obfuscate the error and leave the user without any easily memorable reference. This sounds more to me like "let's do it because it's modern and hip" rather than it being actually useful.
The QR code can not only indicate the exact location of the error, but can take you to a website on the phone, with a url long enough to log
many key points about the error.
Even if it logs very little, developers will get more input this way than they do now, because when your machine is crashed, you can't report anything and once it reboots, you have other priorities than digging in the last crash dump.
However, other than collecting statistics, it might not do any good. Even when you do submit a dump, you get the request to install debug symbol packages and trigger the crash again. Ah, no, that isn't going to happen. Or there will be necessary drivers installed that taint the kernel, and devs wont touch it until replace your video card, untaint your kernel, and trigger another dump.
You've totally missed the fact that the link lead to two different studies one of which was a Meta Analysis of 180 studies, which indicated that there was no measurable effect of Vitamin D. Its not like ONE study was done and it is easily overturned by your google search.
The meta analysis more than likely included all your google search results by proxy. The study is not paywalled so go read it yourself.
This is the beauty of meta-analysis, it can find significant overlooked results of smaller studies and overcomes a lot of researcher bias.
But I agree that this present study seems to be confusing cause and effect. If you are outside early and running around in the sunshine chances are its not the light of morning that has the effect, its merely the fact that you are more active.
They have tracked it to a place from which It didn't have enough fuel to return. Unless you are hanging your hat on aliens beaming them up, or a long undiscovered island in the south indian ocean which just happened to have a 5000 foot runway, some times you have to go by the numbers and state that they crashed.
There is very little reason to have spy satellites in the south Indian ocean. Inmarsat is one of the few companies needing coverage down there because they have the contract for ACARS data an occasional sat phone calls. This area is not even on normal shipping routes.
No it isn't, its not using data from a system that WAS TURNED OFF within MINUTES of the last radio contact.
How the fuck did this get marked as insightful? Its make a wrong statement that everyone has know has been wrong since the second day.
You should try to keep up with the actual events instead of lashing out on Slashdot.
The DATA transmissions ceased on the ACARS, but the radio system still pings the satellite. The radio system keeps its link with the satellite as long as the actual transmitter has power.
Just because you stop tweeting on your phone doesn't mean the phone stops talking to towers.
How come the frequency information of the signal received by the satellite was saved? What is the purpose of saving all that data in normal operations?
And why did it take three weeks to do that analysis?
I thought the same thing.
With digital tuners, what radio system even captures exact frequency these days? Its either in-band our out of band and not heard.
Perhaps these satellite radios are wider band, and therefore they record the exact frequency any transmission arrived, but it just seems unusual to have this information at all, let alone to be able to dig it up out of several days old data.
Everything you said is false. I mean, I can't imagine how you could be wrong on every single point, unless you are still driving that 82 Toyota.
The headlights recognize tail lights and won't go to bright when I'm following, the car can distinguish someone cutting me off, and brakes just enough to allow for the DIFFERENCE in speed, the blind spot monitoring works perfectly, (and I still turn my head because not all the cars I drive have this). Cross traffic detection is for when you are backing out of parking spaces, not driving.
Basically, I don't think you should be driving period. Your attitude betrays an ego larger than your brain. You don't belong on the road. Its time to trade in that deadly heap you drive, because your abilities stopped improving years ago. Humans are the least reliable element in the modern car.
My automatic headlights and automatic wipers work perfectly. As does my auto high-beam. So does my collision avoidance braking system, blind spot monitoring, traction control system, rear cross-traffic detection, adaptive cruise control, parking assist radars, keyless entry, keyless starting, remote start, etc.
What do you have against safety and convenience features? Why do they all have to be made of metal and weigh a ton, instead of never-rusting plastic?
Take a look at this chart and tell me which part of the past you think we should revisit.
Bull. Does your car fail to start if you don't buckle your seat belt? Does your car not work if your tail light goes out or your turn signal fails? If you disable your front collision avoidance system does your car not work?
I know people who would buy this in a heartbeat. (Especially if it reduces insurance costs).
Rear cams are not that essential. They are nice to have.
Collision avoidance radar, braking systems, lane monitoring and blind spot monitoring systems are getting cheap, and some combinations of these components are showing up on sub $20K cars.
I would have thought that the fact that the experiments with leaves brought there from elsewhere decaying slower demonstrate that merely bringing foreign organisms (the collected leaves are not sterile, of course) is not going to help.
The collected leaves are not sterile, but that isn't where the bulk of the organizes live. They live in the soil. The best thing to do is leave it alone and let organisms that are tolerant of radiation evolve.
Perhaps we have a solution to carbon sequestration!. (I kid of course).

how soon until someone accidentally posts a QR code containing confidential information, since they cannot read it themselves.
Since the crash handler itself generates the code that takes your phone's browser directly to the report site, this isn't going to be a problem.
Have you never actually uses a qr code the leads to a web site?
Or just display a short number code. Displaying a QR code won't solve anything, it will just obfuscate the error and leave the user without any easily memorable reference. This sounds more to me like "let's do it because it's modern and hip" rather than it being actually useful.

There is no effect of Vitamin D, via supplement or via Direct Sunlight.
Vitamin D3 seems to decrease mortality (of all causes) by 11%.
But I agree that this present study seems to be confusing cause and effect. If you are outside early and running around in the sunshine chances are its not the light of morning that has the effect, its merely the fact that you are more active.

Linux is already the norm in Brazilian ATMs, so the banks can just buy ready built versions.

The BIOS has bare back access to the hardware. Why cant it log the keyboard and dump it out the Ethernet? Why cant it access the ram directly?
The term you were looking for is "bare metal".
Bare back is something totally different.
Have you seen newer motherboards? They have 16mb+ of flash for the BIOS.
Oodles of room to do fun stuff in.
And they are all infested with UEFI, the worst malware foisted upon the general public in decades.
Don't forget the Great Molasses Disaster(s) which release tons of toxic sulfur into the rivers. These are an on-going problem over the years and we have learned "Nothin".

Charging at a rate of 2amps or more has been available in Android phones for years.
Yes. And it's NON-STANDARD. Get it into your skull already.
Not any more. Its now the official standard.
All usb cables have 4 wires, of which only two are used for charging.
