> List the last known remote exploit that will work for someone behind a NAT,

NAT is not a firewall (though it's usually paired with one). And the NAT is usually one hop away from the computer, so it provides no protection against an attack coming from the same network (like a worm on a coworker's laptop).

However, AFAIK Windows 7 does have a built-in firewall, which (depending on the settings) might help protect even against an attack coming from the local network.
Not for lack of trying however. Bear in mind the big tech companies all adopted an explicit policy of, "information that disagrees with the WHO is forbidden" and proceeded to ban lots of qualified commentators for trying to present non WHO approved information. They did this with the full approval and encouragement of the WHO itself.

I'm slightly disturbed by the casualness of this thread actually. The WHO is not merely some random organisation, one of many providing information in an open environment. It commands the loyalty of many powerful people who just automatically assume it is correct, and as such has proven basically unkillable. Trump realised it was corrupted and tried to defund it, that lasted right up until Biden rolled everything back. Other countries have also been defunding it which is why the Gates Foundation is now such a large donor. How should society handle an organisation that is so clearly inadequate and even dangerous yet which commands blind adherence from the richest and most powerful people in the world, people who can and do seriously interfere with the flow of information?
"Cartels run the country", quite a strong statement indeed but would we be in the same boat if I said, let's say, "Jews run America"? What would be your justification for your statement and counter for mine?

The red carpet leads up to a huge vault door. The carnie promises you the sight of your life. You tell all your friends and bring them along. Your buddy Dubois stays home, and you resent him for it. The vault door opens, and you walk around the corner. You see a roped-in platform. The platform is empty and the carnie is gone.

The price of admission: two trillion dollars. The door is now locked from the outside.

televised sport != sport

televised sport == advertising dollars

Seeing this more and more. Amateur-level sport is becoming a better spectacle, a better showcase of the sport itself, than professional, televised sports because of all the "value-add" the media does to try and create drama around everything.

In Australia, the AFL (Australian Football League) implemented the video reply system in order to "add drama", in other words, to get the fans riled up. And it works. Just like every other video reply system it gets the result wrong more consistently than the spur-of-the-moment, human, umpiring decisions. The fans get loud about it - which is the desired end result.

Drama: 1, AFL sporting integrity: 0

Edited to add: If you saw the game / match and you understand the sport, there's very little that a post-match interview can add that's of any value outside of sound-bites and article titles for the media.
These cartel bosses have fancy cars and luxurious homes. We could drone them all day every day if we wanted, but we don’t because they are employees of our intelligence services. They pay their tribute and they get to be rich, while “our” side gets a fat black budget not accountable to congress.

The banks who launder the money only get fees and no jail time because they are working under the table for the same agencies.
There are different levels of errors. Something like a negative number for a fare is a serious error in every circumstance and should ping the billing team in their Slack channel (or PagerDuty) immediately.

Something like a small positive number, while still concerning, is harder to calculate and harder to justify a critical alert for. For example, Uber does have a feature for drivers where they can type in where they are going (eg. for a personal errand) and be connected to a rider going the same direction, and the fares on those trips pay fairly small amounts of money.

- No

- Another google search for "bitcoin + <your question>"

This wasn't an exam, this was basically an advertisement for "look what cool things you can do with this"

If I got any wrong, whatever. I have literally never researched bitcoin or blockchain. If I got them right, well... nice try on the exam I guess.
The complaint, as I understand it, hasn't been the US does too much; it's been that the US has adopted an incredibly violent and inefficient system to fighting drugs by heavily punishing users.

Throwing an entire generation of drug users in jail did little to curb the actual inflow if illegal drugs into America.

To express my gratitude I'll help boost your economy with some ad revenue today and aid the good fight. The profits should trickle down to you eventually.

On a more serious note, I think (possibly in my naive ignorance) the geopolitical implications are quite different. I have the impression that American cultural influence has become increasingly prevalent throughout Europe, since of course WO2 and especially since the dawn of the internet. A non-negligible part reads and writes more English than their native language, and the majority consumes mostly US media; for entertainment at least [citation needed].

This is one of many reasons leading me to believe that US-EU interests and popular opinions are even more aligned relative to other potential geopolitical/economical US "adversaries" than is obvious already (modulo the rep hit from the last 4 years). This may be only tangentially related to what you're saying, but I wonder whether the degree of spying on European countries and vice-versa is more of a low-profile intel maintenance thing as opposed to full-blown strategic warfare. I.e. I'm not sure to what extent I should consider this to be problematic.

"With the LTSC servicing model, customers can delay receiving feature updates and instead only receive monthly quality updates on devices. Features from Windows 10 that could be updated with new functionality, including Cortana, Edge, and all in-box Universal Windows apps, are also not included. Feature updates are offered in new LTSC releases every 2–3 years instead of every 6 months, and organizations can choose to install them as in-place upgrades or even skip releases over a 10-year life cycle. Microsoft is committed to providing bug fixes and security patches for each LTSC release during this 10 year period."
Thanks for the thoughtful comment. I agree with you that we are not there yet, but that disconnect will eventually be bridged.

What we are lacking is a bridge between traditional finance and crypto that goes beyond what crypto exchanges offer.

I think it will take time before we get there because we need for institutions and businesses to start adopting it, but this has not been happening for a decade.

Ethereum is just 7 years old, and its in its infancy. I think we will need a couple of more speculative cycles before we end up with something useful.
Because people will be afraid of an unknown invisible enemy. The legislatures will scramble and pass anything they want and it won't help.

It's not a guaranteed refund. It's just another dispute resolution, but done by the card issuer rather than the merchant.

Often they will side with the consumer and will refund the charges through their various policies, but they also investigate the case and will let the payment go through if there's no actual problem found. There are plenty of cases where consumers didn't even contact the merchant at all and yet still chargeback.
selection bias is so strong, that even if I walked you through exceptions to the things you don't like, you'd still fixate on those undesirable things, as if to say that the good-faith actors should stop acting in good faith and spend their time wagging their fingers at the things you don't like.

But complaining about something without taking the underlying behaviors in good faith and synthesizing alternatives doesn't really offer much for the people who are looking for the good things. That's why you won't get many good faith actors interacting with this, because it's better for them (and implicitly, the negation of your premise that it's all scams) for them to negate your arg by building more and more new things with crypto.

This is not true in the US. We have no politicians that are suspected of being involved with cartels.

While our policies might not help the situation, no politician is actually working with traffickers.

It’s definitely not like that in the US (at least on a large scale) and we regularly have large busts and individual cities taking down large operations. Even large scale gangs don’t tend to last long as a centralized bloc because then the fed launches an operation and seizes bank accounts/arrests all the guys at the top.

The problem is that people want to do cocaine, they just do. I’ve been to plenty of parties full of people who aren’t into drugs, the type from well of families with good degrees and good jobs who’ve never been arrested, where cocaine is brought out because it’s considered a party drug like ecstasy among the American middle/upper class. When people like that are willing to spend hundreds of dollars there is a lucrative market and someone is going to supply it. So when American agencies take down large scale operations another (usually decentralized) group swoops in and the cycle repeats.

10 or 15 years ago, this behaviour would universally be called adware and shunned, yet now Microsoft does it too?

In addition to the Windows 10 alert, Microsoft Edge has also gained a new full-screen prompt that advises users to restore the ‘recommended’ browser and set Bing as the default search engine.

...complete with Corporate Memphis[1]. That screenshot sums up just about everything I hate about "modern" software: the infantilising "we know what's best for you" language, the intrusive nature of it, and the bland so-inoffensive-it's-offensive art. The message it gives is "you are not a user, you are the product, now be a good obedient little sheeple and do as you're told." No wonder the Win10 upgrade was "free", and they tried to force it really, really hard.

My personal fuckings go out to everyone working there who didn't stand their ground and say NO when asked to implement this shit.

I'm saying this as someone who actually uses Bing, because I get sick of Google's search results censoring and CAPTCHA-hellban too. But I wasn't forced (or "recommended") to do so, and I'd rather use IE11 than Edge just due to the UI alone.

And not just the NSA. Despite their feigned outrage every time stuff like this hits the news, both Germany and France actively spy on US government and industry all the time. Every nation spies on every other nation, friend or foe, to look out for their own national interests.

https://www.france24.com/en/20131024-nsa-france-spying-squar...

> Bernard Squarcini, head of the Direction Centrale du Renseignement Intérieur (DCRI) intelligence service until last year, told French daily Le Figaro he was “astonished” when Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said he was "deeply shocked" by the claims.

> “I am amazed by such disconcerting naiveté,” he said in the interview. “You’d almost think our politicians don’t bother to read the reports they get from the intelligence services.”

> “The French intelligence services know full well that all countries, whether or not they are allies in the fight against terrorism, spy on each other all the time,” he said.

> “The Americans spy on French commercial and industrial interests, and we do the same to them because it’s in the national interest to protect our companies.”

> “There was nothing of any real surprise in this report,” he added. “No one is fooled.”

> The Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), Germany's foreign intelligence agency, reportedly monitored email addresses at the White House with a list of some 4,000 selector keywords between 1998 and 2006. Other targets included the US Department of State and Department of Treasury, as well as a number of defense agencies including the US Air Force and the Marine Corps, and the NASA space agency.
Is the implication that Islamic terrorist groups operating in Iraq were propagandist fiction? That the real reason westerners fear Iraq is bigotry? I’m specifically unfamiliar with “grandparents and refugees having haunting views of other countries”. I have grandfathers who served in WWII and Korea and they don’t have any particular antipathy for Germans or Koreans. I’m not really familiar with that meme.
JFK also was influential in getting the excellent Manchurian Candidate movie made—which fell out of circulation for many years after he was killed. I can't remember if it had to do with that or not.

Large shipments quite literally rely on small individuals being busted. For at least ten years now, border security agencies have been receiving training on how not to act in the face of a small bust. Their typical response is to start waving people through with little to no scrutiny, because all of the agents want to have some part in the bust, if at least just to have a rubbernecked sort of view at the excitement going on. Now they are being trained that the presence of a small bust is the cue to start raising scrutiny on all vehicles, and larger vehicles in particular.

One of the most disturbing findings is that the largest busts are almost always precipitated by some individual getting caught who is absolutely insistent that they didn't know that a brick of coke was taped to their gas tank (or similar). Previously, those individuals might go straight to prison for a decade or more on trafficking charges. Now that agencies (and defense lawyers) are catching on, there is now a lot of credence given to the idea that those individuals are actually unwitting drug mules used to distract CBP agents from doing their jobs while they slip truckloads past them at the border.

How many "drug traffickers" have we imprisoned that have merely been pawns in a drug trafficking scheme that they had no part in?
Germany has no room to complain.

> German media later reported that the NSA had provided German intelligence services with spying software in exchange for data sharing. Consequently, the BND and it domestic intelligence couterpart, called the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), were accused of assisting the NSA in its global surveillance programs.

> ...

> More than two-thirds of all 3,300 targets monitored by the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) foreign intelligence service were on diplomatic representations of EU and NATO member states around the world, according to a parliamentary committee report seen by German news agency dpa.

> The report found a "low two-digit number of people" - including heads of state and government, ministers and members of their offices and military institutions - were spied on until October 2013. That same year, Chancellor Angela Merkel had complained to US President Barack Obama that spying on friends was "not done."

> The BND was also found to have spied on non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the aviation and space industries, as well as the arms trade, transport, media and consultancy.

The truth is that allies spy on each other all the time, it's not just normal but prudent to do so.
When it was actually spendable without huge fees, and before any sane person thought of it as an investment vehicle, Bitcoin had a killer app: Poker and probably fair online gambling. That, however, did not fly with certain governments who didn't want to declare crypto a "thing of value," let alone a currency, but needed to in order to control and tax offshore and onshore gaming. Once you can't spend it on entertainment and it lost its function as a medium of quick exchange, it lost most of its reason for existing. That just happened to coincide with the deluge of suckers who wanted to hodl it. Source: I built a startup Bitcoin gaming site in 2011.
