Amazing.

Watching car crash tests on youtube is eye opening, and it's interesting to see what makes a good car good. It has certainly made me an even more careful driver. Especially the "car runs into the back/side end of a trailer" crash type is very gruesome since it may strip the top half of a car off like a band-aid in a hot bath tub.

Another good car in this aspect is the Smart car, which really punches above its weight and seems very well engineered from the crash point of view. Can't speak of it otherwise.

I suspect you're being downvoted because you assume that your experience is universal, or that because you saw an increase in costs under the ACA that inherently means that it was bad.

Many people saw reductions in costs under the ACA. Many people who were not insured before are insured now because of it. It sucks that you ended up paying more, but that doesn't justify "I don't know how you can say [it was a huge leap in the right direction]."

So you haven't traveled too often, but are considering relocating yourself to somewhere you've never been?

There's nothing wrong with that. However, I would recommend that before you attempt to settle down or start using the word "relocate" you do a bit of serious traveling.

One could say that there's a place in the world for every person. One could also say that people adapt to wherever they are. Both are partially true, I think. The only way you'll know what works for you is if you live there for a while and are able to compare it with other places where you've lived. To do that you need the perspective afforded by a lot of travel.

It's one of those "opportunity cost" decisions. How many places do you need to visit, how many do you need to reject? What is your criteria for a short-list? Only you can answer that.

[Off-the-record] Amazon is opening a distribution centre in Portugal "very soon".
Portugal was not seen as a "priority" for Amazon because there are much bigger markets to "conquer".
But since Google announced their intention: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-google-portugal/google-to... Amazon has "re-prioritised" Portugal ...

Meanwhile as others have said, we get our deliveries from UK amazon here in less than a week. It's not "Prime" or "Same Day Delivery", sure, but we can be patient for a few days and it just means we don't buy crap on impulse.

Indeed. For example if you're from a race that lacks a robust self inhibition mechanism, or lacks a robust mechanism for judging how present actions affect the future, you are far more likely to correctly be profiled as a potential threat.

Of course you can call me racist and flag me, but deep down you already know it. That is, unless you perhaps live in a bubble surrounded by whites.

Well you’ve launched, so you should be meeting the needs of potential customers.

In your shoes I’d turn around and make a 1 minute video and upload it to YouTube within 20 minutes, showing what your system is and what these data structures look like.

If you have an Apple Mac, the screen recording is built right into QuickTime, just plug your telephone headset into the machine to record some narrative as you go.

Seriously, why launch without showing people what it is? 10 years coding, not willing to spend 5 minutes to record it and show us?

> To people from outside the US, please understand that our police do not go around shooting and handcuffing people all the time.

Yes, the police shooting "handcuffed" individuals in rare. The police shooting civilians in general is not:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jun/09/the-counted-...

> American police are killed in the line of duty, sometimes with no warning.

The largest percentage of which is traffic accidents. Between 27 (2013) up to 69 (2011) police were killed nationally in "felonious" circumstances per the FBI. Police shot and killed 987 or more people, but there's poor national data on this (the FBI doesn't track it).

So the police kill about 93% more people than they themselves are killed, and the 987 figure is considered fairly conservative.

> They really are here to 'Protect and Serve'.

Actually they aren't. The Supreme Court and appeals courts in "Warren v. District of Columbia", and "Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales" ruled that they have no such legal duty[0][1].

> If you travel to the US, please do not fear violence from the police.

If that were true why are you offering people advice on avoiding police violence earlier in the post: "Even in a traffic stop, the key is to be polite and treat the police like human beings."

The "key" is to act a certain way to avoid a violent encounter but there's no concern about that in the US?

The article estimates that 163 disabled people alone are killed by the police each year. That's an interesting statistic/estimation that I don't know what to make of.

Of course I think you should treat the police with respect, but the same amount of respect you'd treat your dry cleaner or waiter. Lots of people do jobs far more dangerous than policing, but it would be ludicrous to say "We should treat underwater welders with respect".

As an Australian living in the UK, I can't fathom the interactions with police in the US. I've seen mentally ill people be arrested and it's always been a relatively positive encounter, despite being a horrible situation.

There seems to be this idea that the police need to immediately resolve an issue right here and now using whatever force necessary. Maybe if the citizen is not a direct threat to anyone they should show some restraint and curb their bloodlust and find an alternative way to resolve the situation than electrocuting and strangling a non violent citizen to death (like e.g in the article).
"would mean the US fell victim to one of the most spectacular attack, if not the most spectacular attack, in history"

Global warming of 1.5 °C: An IPCC special report
"Ancient H. sapiens appear to have been even more physically diverse than the world's populations are today, which doesn’t fit with the idea that they all started from one small group."

I believe that the theory they're supposed to be debunking is not that the old (>300,000 yrs) sapiens population descended from a single regional population. The theory is that by 300k ybp there was a divverse sapiens population in and near Africa. They had a wider range of physical appearance than modern humans. Our ancestors descended from a sub-population of archaic sapiens (before mixing with other homo species).

The theory explains why we're so much more homogeneous than very old sapiens who still sometimes exhibited "primitive" (isn't this a truism?) skull shapes and such. We went through a bottleneck at some point.

IE, many flavours of sapiens existed. We descend from one of them. The Morocco & Levant sapiens have no descendants.

Micro service surely put the dream of code sharing to REST. Not sure it is a good thing.
That's a stange argument. In USA a victim with a gun (or anything metal) is an easy justification for police killing ciivilians. If more civilians pulled guns out, police would kill more civilians. Unarmed victim martyrs are the only tool the public has to generate political will to push back against violent policing.

I've encountered the police during routine traffic stops in both the US and in France. Things could be a lot better here, here are some differences:

In France they always work as a pair, are cordial and while they make requests within their authority, they use a normal tone of voice. In the US, the tone starts out slighly more elevated but will instantly escalate to confrontational if they don't get their way exactly how they want. They exude a mix of paranoia and authoritative over-compensation, as they stand at an angle behind you when you are seated in the driver's seat (because the likelihood of firearm interaction is much higher and because they are usually alone in the US).

The ones in France will try to keep the interaction friendly and if you drop a pun they will smile or groan, wheras in the US they will tense up, afraid of being played. In general, the police force in the US wants you to suck up to them, thank them, worship them and make them feel like heros. Inside, they are afraid, insecure, untrained in psychology matters and most certainly underpaid for the job.

This is why anybody with mental illness or exerting their rights have a higher likelyhood of getting injured or killed by the police in the US. The force here has forgotten WHY they work and are so afraid of losing control of the situation that they will use force where it's not warranted and hurt a lot of people.

As a side-note, I've only had a few interaction with the police in Beijing and I always saw smiles and a relaxed body language. Even though I knew full well they are being very strict about rules, they didn't lord it over people, just kept things moving fast and professionally but nicely.

Finally, while on the topic of travel, both immigration and security agents are way nicer in Europe. Here in the US they are often heard barking orders at people, not smiling and often looking for a reason to flex their authority muscle.
No, none of those will detect a change in silicon. Only options are signal analysis on working system and/or decapping, scanning and comparing all the masks.
But in the case of France this file was known to be "who is sleeping with who in Paris", including people posing no security threat whatsoever.

Secure boot is in no way bad :-) Ofcourse, it must in fact be the first point on any sane security checklist.

And one of the most common attacks aka. malicious firmware is prevented by using secure boot.

Many other classes of attacks like forcing the microcontroller to delete all its data, opening up the debug JTAG port of the microcontroller, preventing the log of certain security events etc. can be achieved with the right settings.

Though these are just remote possibilities with high levels of complexity, so is changing a production design of a board.

no, that's not how it works. counterparty risk exists irrelevant of which financial system you operate in. you may be paying insurance to reduce the damages, you may sue them in court of law for breaking contract - all of that is irrelevant to financial system.

cryptocurrencies is simply different financial system where you don't need to trust middlemen.

it's really astonishing how complacent people have become towards trusting middlemen in financial systems. if you ignore the banking services that you're paying for either directly or indirectly via taxes - what is the bank doing for you? why should you pay for having a record in the database? why should bank be involved in facilitating or even censoring your transactions?

x-rays are useful to identify parts which don't belong in the original design, though it doesnt say anything about these parts. It can be manufacturing errors / design iterations not well documented or any number of things besides a malicious implant. more manual analysis will always be needed. But if you have tons of PCBs to go through it can give a quick overview what chips might be good initial targets.

some people noted that some 'hardware' attacks can't be seen because they use original parts. -> that's a silly statement, as that would make it a firmware attack, not a hardware attack (even though physical access might be needed to flash the chip, it's the firmware which is malicious, not the chip itsefl. i.e. other type of threat / use-case).

i think the problem with x-rays, apart from them being hazardous in themselves, the cost and availibility of equipment is not practical for reverse engineers and researchers apart from some highest tier companies doing this.

A question to NH about this which might be more interesting:
do you think you can get similar results using ultrasound? Because ultrasound devices are fairly cheap and can be made at home fairly easily compared to x-ray technology. It's also much less hazardous to the researchers....
Dell XPS 13 (9360) with Debian Sid, works flawlessly. Though some initial setup is required: turning off DBC (.exe available at Dell's support site) and using latest ath10k firmware from github. After that it's a laptop of my dreams ) Light, small, 13" screen in a typical 11" laptop chasis. The only drawback is soldered RAM, I have a 8GB version and Angular's reloader leaked memory, so I had to restart it every few hours.

Other than that, I've dropped it from my height on a tiled floor by accident, it landed on a corner. I've unbent screen part with pliers, and fixed cracked hinge with superglue, soda and steel wires, and that was it. Alternative would be to order a part of the chasis, but it would take too long. During the repair I've also weakened hinge resistance a bit, it was too strong for non-touchscreen version; should have done it from the start I guess.
It's not the idea, which is indeed old and used. It's the execution and success (if true).

So, in case this doesn't get completely flagged, which it should, its also dead wrong. I lived in Chicago for years, family from Chicago, so I've been coming there literally since I was born. The cost of living is low, and the idea that "major parts of the city are off limits to white people" is exactly as absurd and racist as it sounds. I worked on the south side, and am painfully white. I biked and walked around the south side and have gone to meetings on the south side and west side. People pushing this are either racist or simply trolling. Its a wonderful, cosmopolitan city, with dozens (and dozens) of languages spoken, quiet friendly neighborhoods to live in. The only neigborhood I've ever personally had trouble in was Wrigleyville, and I'm going to shock people here, but it isn't people of color making it difficult. I lived in Jeff Park, up and down Milwaukee, Wrigleyville, and Evanston (Not Chi, but close). Its a great city to live and work in and I miss it dearly.
And this excruciating drivel is a big part of the problem.

The technology shown here is working at a different level; is looking at the PCB, trace by trace and identifying components and connections, layer by layer and verifying it against the design.

It's purpose is to ensure that designs aren't modified in manufacture.

What you're talking about is a software problem, and should be carried out in addition to this.

The first idea that comes to mind is that I would sign the contents of the flash devices and have them verified once the board layout has been verified.

Essentially, you'd have your board schematic, and then a signature "schematic" of firmware to verify against. Of course, you'd also need a way of signing the schematic/signature list to verify those once they're updated.

Apple has been pretty clear in their statements and it's a given that they can't detect 100% of outgoing malicious data from their network. But they are denying much more: the servers with the altered boards entering their supply chain, Apple's rapid removal and replacement of all those servers, and so on.
The infrastructure no longer exists. The tooling no longer exists. Miniaturization makes old designs obsolete. Design is now the cheapest part of manufacturing.

Good question! I'm simply highlighting the fact that US citizens are welcome in PT because there's always been a "special relationship" between the two countries for various historical reasons.

Portugal is one of the most welcoming countries to people of all nations. You will never be unwelcome here regardless of where you are from. There are communities of people from the Middle East, Nordics, Indian Sub-continent, China, Africa (South America, obvs) and if you go out to the "trendy" parts of town and listen to the range/variety of accents it's every bit as "cosmopolitan" as London's Shoreditch/Soho!

I am French and there are rumors that some people inside the police forces are earning side money by funneling information from the police files to former police officer working as private investigators (with the advantage of having insider access to police data).

I always assumed that this practice was widespread. That is just an extension of the traditional practice of "tricoche" (police officers performing investigations for private customers).
It would be really nice for Bloomberg to either offer more evidence or tell us they have lost confidence in the article. Likely they will do neither.
I doubt this is as much of a problem of the police officers as the American legal system.

Surely the cost of a movie ticket is better settled in a small claims court than with police intervention and a criminal case. The theatre would have surely got their money even without going to court, now they get nothing instead. It's perverse, just like debtor's prison, which is still practiced in the United States.

I think the police officers in these cases are mostly just acting out what the legal system expects them to do.
