>And if not revoke them.

Certificate revocation is not guaranteed. Yes, there's CRLs and OSCP, but there are plenty of clients that don't do either of those. Not to mention how big CRLs will get if certificates can be issued and revoked for free.
Then they should name and shame!

I'd argue that xiaomi isn't a trustworthy brand by a long shot, there are plenty of examples of these kinds of issues with their stuff, and if more researchers would point out why a specific device is bad, and provide options that do it better, they might be incentivized to improve it, or at least people will be warned to not buy them.

Zipabox does seem like a good product at a very quick first glance of their website, and I do rescind my "shadiest and worst IoT devices" comment for them, but it still annoys the hell out of me that they release this research but don't provide a way (without a bunch of searching like you had to do) for me to check if i'm vulnerable!

But doesn't that eugenics happen naturally already? Like people of similar race, centers of interest, character or intelligence having a higher likelihood to form a couple and if DNA has anything to do with these characters, re-enforce these traits in their children? All that will change is that people will be aware of it.
Those three points are explicitly meant to be "for users".

Your counterarguments address implementation issues, but the advice given to implementors is consistent with your arguments: "No less important is that vendors should improve and enhance their security approach to ensure their devices are adequately protected and, as a result, their users [...]"

In the last year in New Orleans, there has been a proliferation of very visible CCTV crime cameras and license plate readers at the parish boundaries (all entry and exit points into the city as well as traffic chokepoints). The city wants to combine this with cameras outside every place with an alcohol license and stream it all in real time into a police control room.

Looked at that one. It's not open source (yet). Plus it's still peer-to-peer really.
I'm not exactly an inside observer of either, but this is my impression from spending time on electronics.stackexchange.com:

Ham culture predates the internet by a long way, when talking over the radio was a sensible option for making friends with interesting strangers in faraway places. Very analogue. Slightly hierachical, generally older, and believe in the importance of theory and credentials.

Maker culture is self-taught off youtube and other places. It involves a lot of tinkering and trial and error with Arduinos, Raspberry Pis and breadboards. Very "open source", very digital, very much anti-hierarchical. Although not free of their own gatekeeping issues. ""Millenials"" (+).

My feeling is that the wider set of people who were customers for Maplin or Heathkit kits are a lot more like the former than the latter. In some ways it's the difference between people who will build a lego set to the picture on the box and the people who'll freestyle something else with it.

(+) I'm so gen X that I have a signed copy of Coupland's book. I also made a couple of Maplin kits when I was younger.

Dumping Donkey Kong 3: Dai Gyakushuu
Look at the paragraph you're quoting - you have to comply with the request if "one of the following applies", which means:

1) if you have a legitimate reason that allows you to process the data without consent (which would be the expected scenario; if not, then any sane organization would likely just choose to don't have that data in their logs at all), then none of the following applies, and you can refuse the request;

2) if you had a legitimate reason but "the personal data are no longer necessary", then you must comply.... but that's just duplication, you should not have had that data anymore since if you're compliant, you should have cleared the data out already. E.g. if you believe that you need (and are allowed) to store data for 6 months for purpose X; then you'd ignore the request for 5 month old data as you need it, and ignore the request for 7 month old data as you already purged it as a routine operation.

3) if you didn't have a legitimate reason and actually needed consent, then you follow the same process as you do for scrubbing references to all IP addresses which didn't give you consent. If you're compliant with the other requirements (which is tricky in this case), then the deletion request doesn't add anything meaningfully different.

If investors are giving money based on lies, there’s a legal system in place to help them recover failed fraudulent investments. I’d wager in many cases investors know exactly what they’re investing in.

HTML that makes use of an API or content delivery service won't work if that service is unavailable. DNS-based service discovery is centralized, and so are most services themselves (at the level of the operating organization, even if the servers themselves are distributed across geography or providers). Downloaded HTML also can't connect to a service that disables CORS[^1], unless you do additional work to serve the HTML from a spoofing server or to a spoofing client. It's typical for API services to disable CORS, and content delivery services to prevent hotlinking.

HTML for a DApp, and IPFS, connect to a local Ethereum node. The local node uses a P2P (decentralized) connection[^3] to the Ethereum network. It therefore relies on the availability of the network, but not of any single org. (Your ISP can still disconnect you, though, at the physical layer or several other layers.)

A better way of thinking about the event horizon is that it is the boundary beyond which events happening cannot be assigned a 'when' in our universe - i.e. the object falling 'in' to the black hole is never seen to pass this horizon, but to the object it seems that they do, however those events happen to it after an infinite time in our universe, i.e. never, due to time dilation. The contents of a black hole are the events that occur outside/after our universe relative to that boundary. I found these explanations on an awesome PBS youtube video [0] about black holes and space-time.

> programming from a computation/understanding-first, mathematics-second point of view

Mathematics is understanding. What's implicit? The suggestion that mathematics isn't understanding, it's just funny symbols that no one understands.

> The latter path is much more useful, as it denies the necessity of mathematical intervention at each step, that is, we remove often-intractable mathematical analysis as a prerequisite to Bayesian inference.

In fact, I would say that by removing maths you're removing at least some amount of understanding. You're left with a workflow of "if x use model a else use model b." That will work until it doesn't, i.e. until you have to face a problem that isn't predicted by the workflow. Not saying that's a bad approach (it's certainly the most pragmatical) but it shows that the phrase "understanding first maths second" is misguided at best and disengenious at worst.

I think a more appropriate phrase for what the author describes in the prologue would be "practicalities first, theory second".

Does anybody know how specific/sensitive those polygenic tests could be ?

Answering my own question : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygenic_score
A few years ago in my previous company there was a major push to convert a lot of the codebase to Python. A byproduct of this conversion was an easier way to build UI using predefined widgets. Yet no one was using this functionality due to the mindset of years of TCL. I honestly hated TCL.
So I took it upon myself to explore the entire new code base and go about building UI panels. Initially I just couldn't understand how the code mapped out until one day I just printed out some of the code and read it repeatedly till it made sense.
The whole exercise was an eye opener.
Man, how I LOVED my ReplayTV back in the day.

>Those three points are explicitly meant to be "for users".

But my point is that their article explicitly shows that those 3 points are pointless for users.

A user's only defense against the attacks show in the article is to not buy or stop using those devices. And until security researchers are willing to let users know if their devices are insecure, it's only going to get worse.

It's strangely analogous to "abstinence" as a form of birth control. Telling people who want IoT devices to just not use them isn't a valid answer. Show them good examples of well designed devices, point out the worst offenders by name and explicitly, and show what users can do to research and avoid devices like them.

Talking about how your serial might be used as a form of authentication, and to keep up to date on IoT vulnerabilities that they themself won't publish doesn't do anyone any good.
Agreed, people like to pretend eugenics doesn’t happen for whatever reason, but people aren’t just breeding randomly or fairly. They are consciously selecting partners based on traits they like, essentially genes. We have been OK with this for a long time.

It is funny, just yesterday I read Victor Mair's reasoning why "n" might have been banned [1]:

"This is probably out of fear on the part of the government that "N" = "n terms in office", where possibly n > 2; as in "liánrèn n jiè 连任n届" ("n successive terms in office"), which would be forbidden anyway because of the liánrèn 连任 ("continue in office") part."

I don't know any Mandarin or Cantonese, but this seems like a very strange explanation to me. Are there any native speakers with more insight on this?

The African poaching crisis is just another bad outcome of foreign influence in Africa, this time from Chinese sponsored poaching.
And on the matter of why most foreign influence in Africa turn out bad, I think this is due to the immense difference between the average African attitude and nature to life and living in general, to other races, this immense difference which came to be because unlike other races, Africans evolved their social and cultural practises in near total isolation.
I wonder if Africans loved removing rhino horns or elephants tusk, like the Chinese do, if they will have survived to this day?

Well to be honest, by that logic cash kills a lot more than bitcoin. Even if cryptocurrencies are used to buy drugs, they are still a minor percentage compared to the use of cash for the same purpose. I hardly think anyone shows up with their cards to get their drugs. And shouldn't cryptocurrency still be more traceable than cash?

Yes.

But unfortunately? Without safety measures like the Fed enabling such, economies have a history of imploding every fifteen years or so on the basis of insufficient currency circulation. Oh wait, that's where we are today... Carry on!

Commodity-backed currencies also have a problem - they implement their own fractional reserves as economies do grow. When they shrink? End-users learn to trade in the notes for the commodities, shrinking the pool of currency in circulation.
