1. It is called "Hardware Security Module" 2. What makes you think there is only one device involved in finding out how to bypass exactly these detectors?
I would recommend reading "Hacking the Xbox" by Bunny. Also, most of the security community assumes that an attacker with physical access will get in eventually, with the only possible exception being a real HSM (at, say, $50'000 and up per piece). A HSM would eventually get hacked as well I expect, but they are too expensive and too uninteresting (due to very limited deployment) for that to happen.
I do hope we get a detailed write-up of the hack, these are always pretty interesting.
While this is clearly an advanced exercise, there are enough people with the smarts, the education and the opportunity needed to do this. And since they make an instant name for themselves in the security-community, there is also ample motivation.
So congratulations! But really, it was only a question of time.
You know what they have on any movie they ever put out there? Cold, hard numbers on how much money they made.
SJWs may continue to fantasize about their fascist little utopia where everything is PC and anything not will be punished in the harshest terms. The rest of humanity has long since stopped caring and is just paying for entertainment and things they actually like.
In capitalism, most industrialized things are driven by money. Whether it is "okay" does not play a role in this. The only times when limiters are put on it is if it costs somebody else or society as a whole a lot more money than the specific industry is making
In this specific case, the revenue raked in is entirely based on individual customer decisions. Are you telling people it is not "okay" how they spend their entertainment-money?
Indeed. Hollywood cast actors and actresses they believe will rake in the most money. Pleasing the Body-Positive Movement is not a factor there, obviously or they would cast differently.
The "game changer" parts are added by stupid journalists. What is really going on is that research goes into better rechargeables and there is progress.
Now take the first Li-Ion prototype where the current catalysts were demonstrated and compare that. Then you get something approaching a fair comparison.
That comparison is completely meaningless. This is a research prototype that serves to show the new catalyst is viable, nothing else. Nobody with a clue will compare this to an industrial product.
10% over 60 cycles means it is a viable candidate to put more research effort into. This is not a finished product and obviously, there are many issues to solve. This is a pretty good incremental research result though because getting rid of the expensive catalysts.
As to capacity increase, I gather the 500% storage increase is naked Li vs. naked Zn. In practice that will more likely boil down to 50...100% more capacity, but that is already pretty nice. And, of course, at least 10 years (probably more) research will be needed before such a product can go into production. All pretty standard, nothing to get really excited about, just means some pretty smart people are still going at the problem and making progress.
Those that will automatize are not driven by minimum wages, they will do it anyways. And for the others, unless minimum wage is raised significantly, it will not make them go to automation. I think this is a pretext.
That said, a _lot_ of jobs will be lost to automation in the next decades. It will not be possible to keep society functioning, unless alternate means of getting money to people are used. The problem is that while automation is dumb, it can be dumb very fast and with a lot of predefined knowledge and unfortunately, many human jobs do not actually require intelligence for most of what they do.
While I do not like the mind-set of these people one bit, the classical repression move is something that universally makes things worse. Not only will this not stop the propaganda, it will validate them on the David-against-Goliath principle.
Well, I can understand that. I just do not think it would work either. See, the people that are not open to facts already decided what they want to believe. Now, if they see both sides just using the same techniques (remember, they cannot recognize facts and hence they cannot see that one side lies and the other does not), they will just continue to select the side that suits their misconceptions.
The other problem is that propaganda has no need for facts and hence any organization doing it is easily misused.
But yes, it would be nice if this idea actually did work.
Apparently, you are unable to determine the nature of a dissertation. Einstein did have a "Dr. Phil" from the Section for Mathematics and Natural Science of the philosophical faculty of the University of Zurich. The topic was about determining molecular diameter. That is about as "Physics" as it gets. Link: https://www.research-collectio...

Unless you believe in magic, not really.

Do you use "decent guy" as code for "have a lot of money"? Because otherwise that does not actually seem to be the case.

That's not good.
That is a first research prototype demonstrating the catalyst works. Are you people all unable to understand what is described here?
Now take the first Li-Ion prototype where the current catalysts were demonstrated and compare that. Then you get something approaching a fair comparison.
10-50 years in the future. If it pans out. Pretty standard time-frame for this sort of thing.
That comparison is completely meaningless. This is a research prototype that serves to show the new catalyst is viable, nothing else. Nobody with a clue will compare this to an industrial product.
It is a research prototype, not a finished product. They wanted to demonstrate that their new catalyst works, everything else is secondary here.
For a first working demo it it pretty good. Nobody sane expects a research prototype to match an industrial product.

Management by bean-counting can get pretty expensive...
That is pretty much my take also.
Well, I hope you are right. It would be really bad to give these people any kind of assistance.

Not that most people understand this.

But that would be contrary to the obvious truth that women are discriminated and only do not go into IT because of that. We cannot have that.
Also, facts? Haw dare you bring facts into the discussion?
Actually, Einsteins PhD was not on relativity: https://www.research-collectio...

So, yes, Einstein did have a degree in Physics.
