So a person would need to choose between making up to $15k in a legal fashion that ultimately makes a product more secure and could benefit many companies...or sell it to nefarious people possibly for more money, but your exploit is used to attack companies and ultimately may trace back to you. Decisions decisions decisions.
I have a friend who's jaw bone became infected after bacteria decided to take up residence under some dental caps. She's been fighting for over 3 years to get things corrected and has had multiple surgeries where they peeled her gums back so that they could shave the bone down to remove the infection. This is in addition to needing to get new temporary caps every couple of months as she couldn't get her semi-permanent ones until the infection was completely cleared up.
She was really excited when I showed her an article about this technology several days ago not because it would help her with what she was going through, but some day it might help others not to have to go through what she went through.
The substance isn't suppose to take the place of regular dental hygiene, or to kill off everything. But if it can help kill off bacteria in hard to reach/clean locations which is pretty common with implants and braces, then that's a good thing.

we would only have couple hundred years to prepare for an eruption that could blanket the entire continent with up to 3,600 cubic miles of ash and rock!
Where did the 3,600 cubic miles of ash and rock figure come from?
The largest 3 previous explosions of the Yellowstone caldera happened 2m, 630k, and 1.3m years ago releasing an estimated 600, 240, and 67 cubic miles of ash and rock. That's a combined 907 cubic miles, a quarter of what the summary suggests could happen. I can't find that number in the article anywhere. 3600 cubic kilometers converts to approximately 863.7 cubic miles which would be more believable. The largest volcanic eruptions ever believed to happen top out at 8,600 cubic kilometers, ~2063 cubic miles.

I'm curious how a bunch of students were able to get past the two restrictions - I can imagine a uni having some portable towers lying around for research purposes, but how would they have found out his IMEI number?
Cell phone company? Service contract? Product's packaging? There are a bunch of plausible possibilities.
Further proof that, far more often than not, "disruptive" means ignoring the law for as long as humanly possible while hoping that your competitors can't (or won't) follow suit.
Interesting fact: 100% of currently FDA approved analyzers were unapproved while being developed.
If there are 6 events every minute, and each last 4 microseconds, then that is 131,400 events to review per year
You have all sorts of issues with your calculation. 131,400 events per year would be 1 every 4 minutes. 6 events per minute as you state would be 6 per minute * 60 minutes * 24 hours * 365 days equaling 3,153,600 events per year.
However that doesn't really matter because 6 events don't happen a minute. They state in the summary and article that they detect 1 neutrino about every ten minutes or 6 an hour. They only sort of care about those because those aren't the ones from astrophysical sources. The ones they really want occur about once a month.
So 1 event per month * 12 months * about 4 microseconds per event = about 50 microseconds...as was stated. Worst case adding in all the ones they care much about would add about.21024 seconds to the.000050 seconds they care about.
I had a laptop where the one of the plastic tabs in the usb port that the contacts are mounted to broke off. Inserting a plug into that port almost always caused a short of the 5v line to ground and the laptop would instantly turn off. Aside from having to reboot and any file system corruption that goes along with an unclean shut down, no harm was ever noticed.
but a liter of water at 4C is still a kilogram for every practical purpose and most impractical purposes.
Seems to me that if in 1799 they were able to tell that 1L of ice water was only 99.9265% the mass of 1L of 4C water, the difference was significant enough for practical and impractical purposes.
They aren't making the measurements so that they can make a recipe, fill up a glass of beer at a bar, or figuring how far the next town over is. Those are all things were practical purposes makes close enough fine. What we're talking about here is THE standard by what all other mass measurements are derived from in modern society. Practical and impractical purposes isn't good enough.
No. First they defined a gram, realized the temperature they defined it at was at it's most stable temperature point and not most stable density point. They also realized that 1 gram wasn't very practical for measuring things due to it's small size. So they made a object out of a stable piece of metal as close to 1000 times their original definition at it's most stable density and 1 atmosphere.
At that point of ratification, they declared that the piece of metal that was made to equal 1000 times the corrected definition of gram was a kilogram. From that point on, yes, a kilogram was based on a chunk of metal. Ever since then, all other kilograms used for calibration are calibrated based on an offset from that prototype.
In 1975 the gram was defined as 1/100 of a meter cubed of pure water from melted ice. Or in other words, a cubic centimeter of water. Within 4 years, they realized they screwed up and made the water's temp at it's maximum density measured then at 4 degrees C. Also at the same time they realized the impracticality of defining mass with a small size of a easily impure liquid that evaporates so they made the all-platinum prototype that was equivalent to one cubic decimeter of water at 4 degrees C and 1 atmosphere. It was adopted that that was what a kilogram was. The object used to day is a physically improved version of that original all-platinum version made the standard in 1889.
the quality of the women in online porn videos is rarely, if ever, up to the standards that Playboy has traditionally upheld.
Standards? Maybe that was true a decade or two or more ago. Any more pictures are so heavily airbrushed/photoshopped/whatever that the picture is just an digital artist's representation of the actual person. The only standard that is there is not real.
Spend some time in a gonewild subreddit or an amateur photographer's portfolio that includes nudes and you'll see far more beautiful women of all different shapes and sizes then what's ever appeared in Playboy, often with little or no retouching.
I just don't see people wanting to buy Playboy with no nudity. At that point, get a Victoria's Secret catalog.
It's worse. The catalog at least had attractive women on every page.
Playboy will now be just like every other men's magazine like GQ, Maxim, et al - maybe an article or two worth reading, many pages of paid product placements in articles, and a bunch of clothing no sane reasonable person would ever wear or buy.
With the above mentioned networks being crucial to the functioning of many IoT devices and systems - home security systems, car locks, baby monitors, and so on - it should be obvious that the fact that these attacks can be performed so easily and cheaply may lead to serious consequences.
If your IoT device, home security system, car locks, baby monitors, and so on have serious consequences if their crucial wireless network is unavailable, you have a serious design flaw in your system. At worst, it should result in the particular thing not communicating and you resort to a back up method, such as say a door lock, a key, or going and checking on your kid in person...
Nails and glue have been in use for a while (hundreds, if not thousands of years) because they work.
Mortise and tenon predate nails and what we'd consider a suitable glue. Advances don't happen if people always stick only with what has always worked and not try other things that may work better or differently.
Based on all the published benchmarks I could find, the amount of time it takes to compute the MD5 + SHA1 hashes is approximately the same if not greater than what it takes to compute the SHA256. Why bother to compute a hash with two "broken" algorithms when you can spend less time using an unbroken one?
Here's the results of running a benchmark test using openssl speed on my i5 laptop:
Doing md5 41943040 times on 16 size blocks: 41943040 md5's in 17.67s Doing sha1 41943040 times on 16 size blocks: 41943040 sha1's in 18.15s Doing sha256 41943040 times on 16 size blocks: 41943040 sha256's in 25.21s Doing sha512 41943040 times on 16 size blocks: 41943040 sha512's in 86.64s
Perhaps you might be able to optimize things so that both the md5 and sha1 hashes were computed simultaneously as the bytes were read so that they only had to be traversed once. But do you think you'd be able to shave in this example 30% the combined time to equal the sha256 time? And then you'd still be left with two individually broken algorithms.
I can't speak for the more recent tablets, but the early Nook android tablets were locked down using their firmware and their store. You could sideload, but it was a PITA unless you replaced their firmware with a 3rd party firmware.
To the point where I haven't actually used physical media in quite a long time. Need to install an ISO? Flash a thumb drive and boot.
So you haven't used physical media, but you used physical media (a flash drive) to install software onto another physical media (presumably a hard/solid state drive).
You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.
I don't think space aliens would travel thousands of light-years for a Homo Sapiens sandwich. We don't taste that good.
Taste is a matter of preference. If a civilization is advanced enough that they could travel thousands of light-years, I wouldn't rule out anything from what their particular taste preferences are.

Anything is possible. The impossible just takes longer to figure out.
