That’s not to say the low battery range Tesla 3 will be out by June 30th, but the difference is not dramatic.

You can argue how ‘real’ that gas savings is, but gas is not free and it’s going to be more relevant when someone is buying a used electric vehicle. The gas savings is just as meaningful in years 5-15 but you’re not paying MSRP.
No, it's not just "faster", it makes the difference between possible and impossible. With a physical sensor connected to a small MCU, either you do floats, or you do nothing at all. There's simply no way for a machine like that to do math the way you're thinking.

I see this all the time with developers who have zero embedded experience like you: you don't seem to understand that in many embedded environments, dynamic memory allocation is simply not possible. You allocate all memory at the start of the program, and that's it. So doing math the way you suggest is completely impossible.

This wouldn't prevent the bot problem, right? It supposedly takes seconds or minutes to brute force the CVV by trying on many different websites. That leaves plenty of time to use the CVV before it expires.

Which vulnerability is this targeted at? Large scale breaches of merchants who are storing CVVs when they aren't supposed to? Card skimmers? I'm not familiar with what the typical attack vector is for card fraud.

AR Insider's Best of 2018
I've always wondered how Mr. Cantrill felt when in 2015, after years of hearing his vitriol about Oracle, more than a few of his Joyent team left him to follow Mark Cavage to Oracle including Node.js frontman TJ. This would have been a substantial hit to the tight US development team. Has Mr. Cantrill spoken on how he processed that?

Chapter 6 is block ciphers, Chapter 7 is stream ciphers.

Also, the first lines in chapter 7:
Let’s try to build a stream cipher using the tools we already have. Since we already have block ciphers, we could simply divide an incoming stream into different blocks, and encrypt each block...

Honestly, her car will probably be a Subaru for this reason. Thinking a Forester since they are a bit larger and she needs the space for kids/horse tack/dogs/etc.

I highly value the ability to fix my own problems if I want to. Same reason I prioritize FOSS. I can fix issues myself.

Eventually I will probably be forced to move on, but my cars downfall will be rust and I estimate it has another decade at least before that happens.
The pattern is so overused that organizations that never even tried to amount to something adopted it.

> industrial rail is much more complex than your urban passenger rail.

Yeah of course, but shouldn't a train on the rails that should not be there, or is suddenly stopped, raise a couple of red flags in dispatch?

At least in Germany, a train would not even be able to get onto the main rails if you steal one in a yard - it must be specifically cleared and the appropriate switches set, as their default position is, for safety reasons, that an unauthorized/stolen/out-of-control train is always diverted to a "safe derailing" place (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch_points).
I think it's more like a productive time of year for hackers to get things done :). The week between xmas and new years is always super productive and creative for me... it's quiet and there is a subconscious urge to wrap things up before year end.
Maybe this forum isn't quite situated to appreciate how dismal coding is for the average coder. Folks here tend to have interesting jobs making new things.

Imagine being one of the masses of coders slaving away at some dinosaur code base in a large company. Working with ghastly C++ code, 1M lines of cruft, moving from one platform to another for the Nth time. Writing a 'unit test' for an 'if' statement buried in some spaghetti code that you yearn to replace but no, your Agile board says change this if and retest.

They outnumber us probably 100-to-1. And they're definitely, totally, blue-collar folks.
This seems like they developed their conclusion then went searching for data to back it up. For example they only "considered only separations that result in at least six months of unemployment or at least a 50 percent drop in earnings from pre-separation levels." So anyone who found a new job before resigning their position isn't counted, anyone who switched jobs to one with more flexible hours but took less than a 50% pay cut isn't counted. They also didn't compare this number for people both over and under 50 to see if age had any relevance at all.
Sorry, I guess I shouldn't have said "in this context", I'm not familiar with the term at all. I was trying to differentiate from just the literal "awake" and "conscious", as in not asleep. I assumed it was some religious term.

The search results seem to indicate it's some vague mysticism not specific to any particular belief structure? Not an area I'm familiar with. Thanks for the info!
>When they diagnosed it I did some research and discovered that I could replace it, but much like the market for HVAC parts, I wasn't allowed to purchase the part...

What are you talking about? You can buy all the automotive HVAC parts you need on Ebay or elsewhere. I did this for my ex-wife's car a couple years ago; with the help of a friend and his hose/gauge set, we replaced the compressor and recharged the system. It wasn't too hard.

Did you try looking on Ebay for the controller you needed?

For my '15 Mazda (non-hybrid), I can easily buy any part I need online from various OEM parts stores.
> Not Tesla, and given what we know about Ellison, I very much doubt he will encourage this to happen.

No, but he might put some board level pressure to get more rigorous about profitability. I know that's a dirty word around here, but Tesla is not exactly well known for it's cashflow prowess. Those are the types of things board members do...not figure out whether service manuals come with the product.

Because it's not a priority for me and I never got the org -> epub generation flow working correctly. In particular, the book has a lot of illustrations, and getting illustrations right across a ton of ebook readers is quite complicated. To wit: they all support different formats and to get it more or less compatible you have to guess what the approx DPI is for most of those devices and then rasterize the vector imagery.

If someone gets it to work I'd be much obliged, it just hasn't been a priority for me :)

well, maybe we use different criteria for finding friends. for me friends are people that i can trust, and that support me.

it doesn't take more than one thing of common interest to become friends (and that trust and support)

sometimes that common thing is a hobby, a lifestyle or a worldview. but sometimes it is work.

having friends at work doesn't mean that i hang out with those friends in my free time.

we have multiple social circles. at work, family, different groups of friends (eg different hobbies, each is another social circle), and in each of those circles we may have friends. some closer than others.

No, it's not quite that simple.

As presented by the journalist here, it makes sense to believe him. But imagine seeing what Monteiro is presenting in real-time, with some reasonably cautious skepticism. His computers contain the entire source of the hitman site, he had admin capabilities of the site, enough to take it down. Even as Yura created new sites Monteiro retained the ability to read all of the email of the site. A reasonable reading of that, is that rather than a white knight, it was just as likely he was a co-conspirator.

And frankly they shouldn't fully let go of that idea. The author seems willing to take everything Monteiro says at face value, without an ounce of skepticism. If Monteiro and Yura were a team and one got cold feet, how would it play out, and how could one best cover his tracks?
Announcement: The Ultimate Mars Rover Onboard Computer Talk
He has repeatedly sabotaged our relationship with traditional democratically-governed allies (i.e. NATO) - and avoided criticizing Russia to an extent that is simply bizarre.

For example, despite the repeated statements by American intelligence agencies that Russian interfered in the 2016 election, Trump said in Helsinki that he believed Putin's denials over his own intelligence apparatus. This is just incomprehensible behavior by a President.

Interview: Whitfield Diffie on the Development of Public Key Cryptography 2002
Not extending credit to a person vs not allowing you to spend your existing money is not really comparable. Credit scores are not "massively opaque". Your bank should report it monthly to you and you can see it rise and fall based on your number lines of credit lines (loans, mortgage, car, credit cards, etc) and whether or not you're in repayment.

It's not punitive. If you have too many lines of credit out and you can't pay them, why should a company extend credit? For charity?

Cycle of debt and poverty statement makes no sense. Credit scores do not do that. People can easily repair credit scores by beginning to repay their existing loans. They don't even have to be paid off, just in repayment.

Your ideas regarding credit score and "social credit" as comparable similar systems is false. I don't think you're an American at all now that I think about it.

Because the book tries to produce a narrative where new features are introduced out of obvious necessity: in this case, encrypting more than a block. And you can do that with modes of operations or "native" stream ciphers. Essentially I'm handwaving and pretending that e.g. AESCTR is just a stream cipher :-)

Part of it is that he has notoriously created a culture of selfishness and even dishonesty at Oracle. I once caught Oracle engineers trying to steal IBM proprietary source code while we were testing on-site at Oracle HQ. I watched them dismiss a unified-cache idea when my small company disclosed it to them under NDA, then add their own (inferior) implementation of the idea as a flagship feature in the next version of Oracle. I saw the many copies of "It is not sufficient for us to win, others must lose also" on Oracle employees' offices. I simply don't trust them, and a company that should have safety as a major goal (but unfortunately already doesn't) is the last place I'd want to see them involved.
That should be the first interview question. "Did you enjoy your math homework?". I find myself jealous of those who have some to do.

This. It’s not surprising at all how emotional and “short” sighted people are being about Ellison because “Oracle sucks”.

I despise Oracle as much as the next guy but if I were in Elon’s shoes I’d want Ellison on my board. The car business is tough, really tough. At one point the database business was really tough. Ellison achieved a near monopoly. Despite our views on the quality his software. Tech people were not his customers, CIO’s were. He gave them exactly what they wanted.

Ellison is shrewd, not stupid. Churning out shit cars would be stupid. Helping Elon cut waste and increase sales would be shrewd. Perhaps Ellison, if anything, could temper Elon’s boundless optimism and pet projects.

Great work yz-yu. Hope you've learned a lot- I've personally found the session replay space to be incredibly rewarding.

However, as a session replay industry competitor and a former security researcher for most industry players, I caution anyone thinking of using a side-project like this on production applications to proceed slowly with care.

Security and Privacy are extremely hard to get right here. The tricky thing about session replay analytics is that attackers have a huge attack vector, and compromise means gaining a treasure trove of all user data. The nature of replay is in a way a form of XSS. Modern security features help (like CSPs, iframe Sandbox attribute) but browser changes can cause issues.

Some of the challenges:
- CSPs can often be bypassed using Google API libraries, <Object/>, <SVG>
- Blacklisting <SCRIPT/> tags can often be bypassed with an XML namespace
- CSS based data or password exfiltration.
- Clickjacking, "data:" urls etc.
- Could you imagine a web request proxy server deploying Service Workers?
- postMsg() from further nested frames

Substantial work goes into sandboxing replay environments and limiting PII. Defense in depth is particularly important here. Enterprise level research, auditing, monitoring and care should be taken seriously.
Harvard isn't known for its CS, many state schools I would personally go to over it.
Well, the main character seems to be slightly bubbling in terms of keeping himself anonymous, having keep records and contacts with police, appropriately handling contacts with journalists, and the story only glances on the murder of Bryon that is touched on twice and never resolved in the slightest making me assume it’s tangentally related enough to add to the article title but that’s about all.

I’m not sure “amateur security researcher” makes a good story. Look at the ethical question posed, some dude make upto millions on this scam, by taking money from bad people, he by far isn’t the worst person in the story.

IDK. I see the real hero of the story here to be the two hackers that remained anonymous through the story, because they had the good sense to make that a priority.
The game still has this balance/inflation problem though, which strangely makes the previously huge unbalanced nature of some of the early cards less powerful.

Over time, the amount of utility for mana cost with the current sets has increased, which means the overpowered cards of the past are 'relatively' less powerful. On the flip side it renders a ridiculous amount of cardboard never-competitive playable again. 2/2 Grizzly Bears with no abilities for G(1)?

First turn Savannah Lions used to be huge.

For my starting era (late Revised / late Dark) first turn Kird Ape was about the best you could do with the R/G dual-tap land, or maybe something involving Sol Ring.
How often do you have to replace headlight bulbs? And if it only takes an hour, why on earth would you spend $250 at the dealer to do it? I don't know about you, but I certainly don't get paid $250/hour at my day job (don't forget that car dealer mechanics don't work at your home or workplace, you have to bring the car to them and sit there while they do the job).

DRLs don't burn out quickly if you don't cheap out on them. Get the car model that has LED DRLs and you won't have this problem. Only crappy models with halogen bulbs still do this. If you're driving a car with halogen bulbs, you're driving an unsafe car according to the IIHS, which won't award a good safety rating to any such vehicle: only cars with HID or LED lighting qualify. Night visibility with halogen is atrocious.
Playing devils advocate.

RAM is the #1 cause if computers crashes largely because people think cheap or overclocked RAM is fine. Windows would have a vastly better reputation if it was always paired up with good hardware.
Cybrary: Free Cyber Security Training and Career Development
It actually makes a lot of sense for practical purposes. This probably looks strange to you because most introductory cryptography texts strictly segregate stream and block ciphers. The standard pedagogical style bifurcates modern symmetric encryption into one of these two categories and talks about things like synchronization, on-the-fly encryption, speed, error correction, etc. between the two.

In point of fact, there isn't as significant a difference between the two in active research and industry. Many (most?) stream ciphers actually use blocks internally. For example, Salsa (and its spiritual successor, ChaCha) both use blocks and rounds. From one legitimate perspective, a block cipher mode enabling streaming encryption is a generalization of a stream cipher.

When you develop a stream cipher without a block system internally[1], you're trying to remove the versatility of block cipher modes in exchange for (hopefully significant) improvements in speed and efficiency. This is very difficult to do while maintaining security. At the end of the day there are only so many ways to do confusion and diffusion.

I suspect that the underlying reason that the profile switch happens, though, is because of bandwidth limits. That’s what Sennheiser is telling their customers, at least.

https://sennheiseruk.happyfox.com/kb/article/175-different-b...

The real answer may be more subtle than that. Maybe there is just enough bandwidth, but using it would have an adverse effect on latency, which bidirectional use cases are more sensitive to.

Either way, the profiles were designed within constraints. They’re not arbitrary.
> Another possible moral is don't be a freelance security researcher as a hobby. You should at least get paid for it and get some organisational cover - not only are you potentially at risk of crossing organised crime, but you can very easily be framed and end up raided by the police.

Alternate reading -- the best way to extricate yourself from a dark web scam is to pose as a freelance security researcher as a hobby and turn on your co-conspirators. Explains why you have admin access to the the site and all its email correspondence when the police come looking for you.
