The title is wrong. It's not talking about encrypting the software, it's talking about obfuscating the software. They put the compiled code through a function that obfuscates it thoroughly. Their function is complex enough that de-obfuscating the code (that is, returning it to the original form) would be computationally expensive.
At a fundamental level, isn't encryption just a mathematical obfuscation?
Parking lots for of cars? According to this several year old article, there's less than 30,000 cars for a country of 24m people. DFW airport has approximately enough parking for all of NK's vehicles.
Regardless, a $200 LCD screen that is useless for the average citizen seem to be an expensive luxury item where a car, if they somehow got permission to own one, may be necessary just to get around. How many people in the US or Europe have a vehicle but don't have a tablet?
Thinkpads are very popular with people who need to do their own maintenance. They use them on the ISS for that very reason. Every part is replaceable
What part on non-Lenovo (or earlier non-IBM) laptop is not replaceable? Every laptop I've owned that has had something break I've been able to find a replacement part for it.
Presuming you're talking about factory service type of work, it's not exactly like you're swapping out individual components on circuit boards. Modern laptops aren't that much more than a chassis, a mainboard, a daughter card or two for the wireless/modem/bluetooth, a screen, and a few wiring harnesses to connect everything together.
The other trick is that Netflix has highly identifiable mailers that are all the same. The post office employees immediately know that the contents of these mailers are fragile. I would expect the post office to group similar items together. Especially if they're breakable.
I think you're really overestimating the amount of handling actual employees do of standard mail including Netflix envelopes.
After the mail has been collected, it's dumped onto conveyor belts. Envelopes are ran through automated machinery that orientate the envelope correctly then then OCR/barcodes are used to route the envelope to the correct destination. No humans are looking at the envelopes unless they are oversized and can't use the machinery, or the machinery can't read the address. Neither of these are the case in order to get as low of postage rate as possible.
The only time that a employee would manually look at or sort an envelope is at the final delivery where the carrier is sorting them into individual slots. However for processing centers near netflix or any other very high volume customers, it wouldn't surprise me if their mail gets automatically sorted/pulled out as well.
Right. And a speed skater is more efficient than someone who is sliding on bare feet. The bow makes the archer much more skilled then just trying to throw the arrow with their bare hands. And don't even get me started about the new Trampoline sport...I think they should have to do all those moves with just jumping with their legs.
Not to mention that if the FISA court issued an illegal gag order, I'm sure they won't have a problem illegally convicting you of violating said illegal gag order.
Stalking in public is illegal*. You cannot follow someone around and learn about their travels in public.
* -check local laws for what constitutes stalking. Merely following someone around and learning about their travels does not automatically constitute stalking. Being violent, abusive, harassing, or otherwise making the individual fearful of potential harm is stalking.
The line from the article is that no one remembers it being used in Edmonton.
It did fail with the case you cited with the article, but in that case it wasn't real gore, it was special fx. With this case it seems to be real gore and real victims. Not exactly an apples to apples comparison.
I'm sitting at beach.country.pineapple and my co-worker is at closing.rheumatoid.begin. How does that help someone find out if he's 6 feet away or 6000 miles away?
How does knowing that you're in zip code 38106 while your friend is in 72301 help you out? Are you 6 feet away or 6000 miles? Those are zip codes in the greater Memphis area, on in Tennessee and the other across the Mississippi River in Arkansas. You sometimes can tell relative vicinity based on the sectional center facility id (the first 3 digits) but beyond that you really can't tell any type of accurate locations without looking up where exactly the zip code is at...just like this system.
There's 435 voting representatives and 100 senators. Despite Congress's ability to get any real meaningful work done in Washington as a whole due to partisan politics, it's still entirely possible for individual members to multitask and work on multiple works of legislation at the same time.
Somehow the effort required to setup a lunar national park that most likely would have minimal if any opposition to as well as likely unenforceable (at least outside the US and maybe inside as well) is significantly easier then say coming up with solutions for the economy, health care, immigration, national deficit, etc...
Pre-internet when this was built that wasn't stupid thinking.
SSH came about sometime in 1995 or later. The Internet, regardless of when you want to consider it "invented", predates that considerably. DASDEC products didn't come about until 2004.
No, it will just result in the pompous assholes pleading the 5th and then continuing whatever they were doing, moving to the private but still related sector, and/or retiring comfortably.
The chances of being able to write some code which reproduces those values but ISN'T AES are less than the reciprocal of the number of atoms in the universe.
So what you are saying is that it's quantifiable and therefor there is a chance.
DD costs companies next to nothing. The Automated Clearing House (which is how they all do it) charges $0.35/transaction.
Wells Fargo for instance charges $10/month + $.50/transactions for non deposits into WF accounts. Not a fortune, but for my previous small-business employer of 8 employees with paychecks every other week, that $.35/transaction really was $1+/transaction.
A couple of other direct deposit providers that I found real quickly: Quick Books direct deposit is $1.15/check. US Bank is $28 +.35/transaction
I had a former employer that decided to cut direct deposit in order to cut "defray unnecessary expenses" for the 8 employees at the company. Apparently direct deposit was costing about $1 per employee every other week for payroll.
That was also the week that I started to look for a new job. Shortly thereafter, the company let everyone go.
I'm guessing that the goal of this is in part to clamp down on human trafficking, illegal porn sites and related crimes.
Yeah. That's it. I'm sure once the policy is implemented that all those things will be a thing of the past on the internet.
Just like how busting the guy at the local flea market that sells hemp-related products has eliminated weed sales everywhere, and indicting the guy that sells flame stickers for cars has stopped people from exceeding the speed limit across the nation.
For example, in patent law cases, the penalty is defined as "up to three times the amount found or assessed".
But only in cases where the violation was found to be willful, at least with regards to patents. Samsung I believe wasn't found to be willfully infringing on Apple's patents so didn't have their judgement tripled.
The manufacturers of other cars have to sell through dealers because of these laws, and they don't want Tesla to have an advantage
Do manufacturers of other cars have to sell through dealers because of the laws? Or did dealers get these laws passed so manufacturers have to sell through them? One way could be interpreted as dealers just wanting to have a level playing field. The other way could be interpreted as dealers protecting themselves from competitive alternative business models.
The problem is that the thruster only produces 236 mN of thrust. NASA's bureaucracy coupled with the infinitely massive boat anchor called the US government has created an object so huge that 236 mN over 5.5 years has only moved it an imperceptible distance.
We're somehow supposed to believe there's thousands of alien souls occupying us? This magic machine you have is going to cure my problems when it has no basis in science?
As oppose to believing that some woman who never had sex somehow born a child that later died after being nailed to a piece of wood and has saved everyone in the 2000 years after his passing who pray to him.
CoS isn't a religion IMHO, but at least they try to make you believe based on some silly meter and not just say "have faith" that $religious_deity exists.

Do you really mean COSCO, the China Ocean Shipping (Group) Company? Or Costco, the wholesaler?

With the trend for smart phones becoming smart phablets, you'll have a killer ping pong paddle where ever you go with it.

Because HBO is content with how things work, or it otherwise is a big pussy and doesn't want to take the risk of pissing off it's MSO partners.
Forbes article from a few years ago on this very subject.

There is ZERO reason to key them all the same.
The opposite is true too. The heaver the rider the slower inertia is gained during those drops.
No, it will just result in the pompous assholes pleading the 5th and then continuing whatever they were doing, moving to the private but still related sector, and/or retiring comfortably.

Not to nitpick, but those are privacy issues, not security issues. They aren't mutually exclusive of each other, but they aren't the same either.
