I really like this introduction of the terror aspect. It really is key. Another place I recognize this concept being utilized is by Jordan Peterson. One of the foundational pillars to his analysis of human psychology is that we are surrounded by malevolence and he uses that in his analysis to better understand human behavior. It certainly makes for compelling arguments because that foundation is so true. And, it seems to be missing from his critics.
The SEC can threaten, but they may have blown up their opportunity to regulate cryptocurrency. If they lose the Ripple vs SEC lawsuit (and, according to observers, it's not been going as well for the SEC as they would wish), they could permanently lose almost all ability to regulate cryptocurrency by their lack of timely action and because of one speech by an SEC official four years ago.

The SEC is basically trying to argue that the speech was personal opinion (and the speech said that ETH was not a security), but Ripple alleges that the speech, though perhaps not an official statement, was much more than a personal opinion. We now know the SEC lawyers were involved in writing the speech, which is making life difficult for the SEC. This is also why the SEC is being far more careful now and is saying only BTC is not a security, but that ship may have sailed.

It's being called the Crypto Trial of the Century. A win for Ripple on the SEC's slip-up could mean the SEC is powerless to intervene in most crypto markets. A win for the SEC would result in mass regulation.
no, they get paid when you are hired. but the more people they send to interview, the more likely they are to get a hire, whether a good one or an indifferent one.
So are they talking about the Donkey car project? That's the only one that I'm aware of that aligns with what is said in the article.
To say they are "all exacerbated" isn't quite accurate. Air/fuel mixture affects the various emissions differently. For example, going from lean to stochiometric will increase NOx but decrease CO.
Here's a more concrete example: coupons.

I, as a supplier, want to prevent coupon fraud - a ~300M year problem. Today they mitigate this with trust relationships between retailers and distributers, which consequentially means that coupons are less widely distributed and more marginal in what discounts they offer than they could be.

When coupons are redeemed, a cashier stuffs them in a bag, they get counted and redeemed and the supplier cuts a check. A shady retailer can simply say they have double the coupons they actually received, and they will get the same check. There's nothing unique about the coupon to prevent this.

Ignoring web3, how could you solve this? You could set up some simple database and rest api and have the coupons have some unique identity. You'd need to make this cryptographically secure so you couldn't simply forge identities, you'd need to be able to issue these easily and in bulk, have them expire at a certain time, onboard retailers to easily redeem these coupons and then facilitate payments to the retailer.

And, well, that's essentially what Hedera does[1], as a cryptographic DLT. Its value is that the cryptographic proof of whether something is unique and how it can be redeemed is done via NFT, and this protects against a number of attacks at the "consensus level". It offers you a secure way to do this and not run any computer, for minimal and predictable fees. Every transaction is fixed to USD and costs 0.0001 USD and completes in 5 seconds.

I'm sad about this. I don't use twitter, but I love it when prominent people aren't afraid to share their authenic self. We build these people up, glorify/vilify them, but at the end of the day they're just people.

This is wrong on more than a few levels.

First off, you learned how to send messages to a gear indicator (after it's been ripped out of the car)

That's not the same as being able to spoof messages from the gear indicator to other components in a real vehicle, and then getting them to affect the transmission.

Realistically even if you could somehow send the transmission an instruction to shift in a way that would cause an issue (like telling the transmission to go in Park at highway speeds), there are multiple layers that would stop you in your tracks. At the lowest level the ZF8 most of these GWS shifters came with would never follow that instruction to start with.

-

I hate fear mongering around vehicle security because it leads to things like Mazda locking down their infotainment Linux box because news reports saying "Mazdas can be easily hacked", when the component in question had no tie in at all to anything safety critical.

The reality is physical access to the car is game over. I feel like your comment is intentionally worded to retort "oh well you just need quick access to the inside, vs getting under to cut the brake lines", but if you stick some random custom OBD II device with remote C&C you're making a much larger target for attention.

People are stealing entire catalytic converters off cars with noisy angle grinders, getting more intimate access to a vehicle is really not that hard.
There’s also the small issue that many of us aren’t Americans, so if offers little comfort that Meta is an American company.
I have no problem with fining the idiots who remove particulate filters and sensors to be able to 'roll coal' at urban stoplights. That's senseless. But expensive emissions control systems are a problem.

One part of this issue is that regulations to require expensive emission control systems work for OEMs, but they are much harder to apply to an individual with a truck at >200,000 miles. The regulations are designed for new vehicles, and the components in those new vehicles are designed to last for 10 years or 100,000 miles. It's one thing to roll the costs of installation and purchasing these particulate filters and catalytic converters onto the OEM (who gets to install them on new, clean steel with working fasteners) and another thing entirely to ask it to be done two or three times on the same vehicle.

An advantage of a diesel truck is that the engine may last for 300,000 miles, but if you're looking at a bill of $5,000 on a truck that's only worth $5,000, and you already have a welder...that particulate filter, EGR cooler, catalytic converter, etc. are awfully hard to justify compared to a big steel pipe.

I just helped my brother install a 'bypass kit' for offroad use on his 2009 Toyota Sequoia (which has a 5.7L gas engine). The 'smog pump' valves are known to be failure points - Toyota got sued over the 2005-2007 engines and recategorized the system into the powertrain to extend the warranty. The system costs almost $3,000 to repair, because you need to remove the entire intake to get at the valves. This system only exists to pass OEM emissions tests - specifically, while the engine is completely cold, the first 60 seconds of exhaust contains methane slightly in excess of the legal limit. The programming only cycles the valves once, for only 60 seconds, only when it's been more than 7 hours since the last start-up, only when the engine is cold, only when the ambient temperature is under 5 degrees C. The bypass kit removes this problem, it just lies to the engine and tells it that the temperature is above the threshold.

It's June; none of these things applied when he, his wife, and his 4 kids under 4 were stuck in the humidity and sun with the truck in limp-home mode trying to pull their camper home because the 12-year old system with 180,000 miles on it freaked out while leaving the gas station.

I wish that we could have repaired the system to work properly. I don't want to emit excess methane, neither does he! But there's no calculus in which spending either $3,000 on that vehicle or spending $600 on parts and taking 3 days off work to replace them ourselves makes sense for those 60 seconds of recirculation on cold winter mornings. What do you want him to do, buy a new $60,000 truck off the dealership and send the old one to the junkyard? I'm pretty confident that would be a lot worse for the environment than keeping the old one going another 6 years.

The problem is that Toyota has no incentive to care that these limited-lifetime components are inaccessible because they're off the hook after the truck is out of warranty.
Seems like they are uncomfortable leaving their child with someone they don't know well and the child is EXTREMELY uncomfortable with it:)
Their instinct to kill is so strong and they're intensely efficient at it it seems to go well beyond hunting for hunger.

I read up on this after our community's chickens were massacred by a fox -- it's called Surplus Killing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surplus_killing and here's what's believed the key motivations:

... researchers say animals surplus-kill whenever they can, in order to procure food for offspring and others, to gain valuable killing experience, and to create the opportunity to eat the carcass later when they are hungry again
A private seller can utilize a NICS check with an FFL if they choose. It's up to the private seller.
This was true in the mid 2000s, but isn't true on most modern cars. Most modern cars have a Gateway module which sits between the OBD port and the Powertrain CAN busses which the OP is reverse engineering.

These Gateway modules only allow specific diagnostics-related messages through to the various backing buses.

Now, generally the security on the Gateway module itself isn't great, and diagnostic protocols also aren't very well secured, so there's certainly havoc to wreak. But it's not as simple as "plug in a dongle and send commands" - to do what OP is doing, you need to tap into a wiring harness that's usually buried a bit higher up in the dashboard, at least :)

Usually either the Gateway or the control module itself will disallow sensitive UDS commands like the Hard Reset from the article, as well as adaptation / basic settings and output testing commands which are not safe given the current parameters, as well - for example, I doubt you could send UDS Hard Reset to the gear selector module while the car is moving.
Yes, but they moved to the north bay from the peninsula.

Some real terror was the early days of WW1. We had long standing generals who just did not know how to adjust to the (at the time) modern battlefield. So they would just lead mass charges into fortified positions with artillery and machine guns. It was the definition of a meat grinder.

I would suggest checking out Dan Carlins Hardcore History podcast for more about it! The series he did on WW1 was called "Blueprint for Armageddon" Its really good and Dan does a great job of pulling you into the narrative.

Unpopular opinion - Web3, incidentally, may save us:
https://nonstructured.com/in-defense-of-web3/
Comma.ai plugs into the vehicle's "backing" CAN busses (Powertrain, Sensors, infotainment, etc.) behind the Gateway, not the OBD port. This requires the removal of at least a few trim pieces and connectors. For example, the Giraffe module taps in at the high-mounted camera module on many cars, requiring the removal of ceiling trim and the installation of a custom connector / tap onto the CAN bus.
> Potentially giving us a way to fix logic errors, or better algos. E.g., "Mmm... it looks like you are implementing your own bubble sort from scratch. Would you like to click here and use <insert better sort>."

I think this already exists in software engineering research, but iirc they were comparing against some code snippets gathered from other open source project or use language models instead of GNN.
> All you would need to do is sneak into the car and plug in a low profile OBD reader-like device with a cellular modem, and you could send these messages from anywhere.

As the article states, modern cars employ CAN-bus gateways that act as data brokers. The OBD port usually only gets access to the buses that are relevant for emissions certifications and ordinary shop work and that's it.

The movement to separate and gated CAN buses started with people manipulating their engine controllers, initial exploits targeting the radio and then the avalanche of thieves using OBD to disable alarms and reprogram keys.
> This sounds ideal, but I wonder what their secret is to pulling it off in practice.

Their lives depend on it? When a group works in extreme environments (of any kind) cohesion, order and unity are likely something that could be the difference between success and failure. (my assumptions based on armchair logic and some life experience)

Also, I have no problems asking people's opinion when I am leading, but I don't have to act on it. But I really appreciate "boots on the ground" opinions, because they always have a different perspective than those leading from a distance.
I kind of doubt we'll actually see cost savings. PCI-e 4.0 SSDs tend not to be 2 lanes vs 4 lane PCI-e 3.0 SSDs. Intel went from pci-e 4.0x20, dmi 3.0 x8 on LGA 1200 to pci-e 5.0x16, pci-e 4.0x4, dmi 4.0 x8; so same number of lanes, but most of them twice the speed. AMD has 24 lanes of pci-e in AM4 (at 3.0 or 4.0), and AM5 looks to also have 24 lanes of pci-e, but at 5.0.

So we're going to get the same number of lanes, they'll be twice as fast (more or less), and we'll have to pay more for them.

I do see that some dual 10G ethernet cards are pci-e 2.0 x8, and some are pci-e 3.0 x4, but I can't find solid pricing for like for like to see if that does actually reduce costs.

Ambergris synthesis uses two opposite substances: ambroxide and ambrinol. The former is clean, fresh. The later, similar to indole, smells pretty awful in isolation, but gives depth to the composition when both are mixed.

The point is the promised us something else.

Many (of the interested) people in the EU are unhappy about some democratic shortcomings of the EU. The only directly elected body is the parliament and it is not very powerful. There is too little power at directly elected bodies and too much power at elements, that are far from the voters reach.

At the last election they wanted to address that and promised that the lead candidate of the party with the most votes will be the commissioner.

That didn't happen. Instead we got vdL, who was in trouble as Minister of Defense in Germany for some hiring consultants without proper process and for ... deleting messages from her phone.

The whole situation is extremely painful for people like me, who support the EU. The tone-deafness, the disrespect for the voter. It is painful.
This comment makes a lot of assertions without any backing data.

How is it mediocre? Is it because of the CVEs that have been released in the prior years? I recall GitLab also having quite a bad week of CVEs in February[1].

How is it a bad ecosystem? If this is about plugins in order to do things, I actually like this framework - it lets there be specific owners for portions of the open source development.

Self-implodes? This seems like it would be tracked as a bug. I've encountered an instance where Jenkins wouldn't start due to a crypto issue but that was due to a bug and all I needed to do was install a patch.

I think that using Jenkins can be a thought of a serious option if like anything else, you follow security protocols ie: don't allow public access, maintain RBAC standards, have a maintenance schedule.

Without a turbo there is only minimal power gains you can get from computer changes. Diesel engines almost all have a turbo, gas engines almost never to. In addition some of the emissions stuff on diesels does cut efficiency by a significant amount, there isn't much gain in a gas engine if you are willing to ignore emissions.

Don't confuse the above with zero gain from custom tuning a gas engine, just that the gains are not nearly as great as you can get with a diesel. If you are running a gas car on a track you can get measurable results from custom tuning - but it isn't nearly as noticeable in day to day driving.

> And families headed by a non-hetero or non-couple can't raise children? What about other non-traditional family types? (E.g. a grandparent and a parent, two or three adult siblings raising their younger siblings without parents, a couple raising their nieces/nephews/godchildren, the family in Full House etc.) You gonna make those illegal too?

There is raising children and there is the creation of children. The argument was that the government incentivized marriage because it led to both the creation of children as well as their raising in a stable home.

Non-traditional guardians (homos, grandparents, etc.) can obviously raise children, but they cannot make them.

That is likely how marriage ended up governed by the state. You are correct that it was rooted in religion, so thanks for the example.

Imo, marriage should not be regulated by the government. It is a derived of and should remain in religious institutions.

Instead, the government can come up with a private partnership, which would easily do everything marriage does without the underlying religious debate and exclusions.
This is a brilliant run down of packaging with Python, I particularly agree with this quote:

> Packaging in Python has a bit of a reputation for being a bumpy ride. This is mostly a confused side effect of Python's versatility.

There are warts, but for most people it really is simple unless you start going of the well beaten track.

Personally, as a full stack Python dev, I love the idea of just making everything, even none Python stuff, “pip install”able via binary wheels.
This sounds like the result of a curious phenomena where good people are not rewarded with neither money nor time, because they "function", while problematic or loudmouth employees get all the time and money because they complain.

I don't need it to be historically accurate (if anything I'd prefer it didn't even pretend to be about 'Romans' or whatever, like GoT doesn't, since then there's an historical truth for it to (likely) miss) but the more GoT went on the more dragony, visiony, giants-y, etc. it seemed to get, and while I enjoyed it I do find it harder to engage (or perhaps rather easier to disengage, take a while to get into, etc.) with that sort of stuff.

I'd also argue that adding MFA with TOTP really isn't _that_ hard either. There's a bit of setup work to be sure, but it's a feature just like any other that has a pretty easy to grasp flow once you do a bit of reading.

Don't do your own cryptography (just use bcrypt or if you're confident you won't mess it up, libsodium), but authN/Z is entirely within the realm of "roll-your-own" and should be table stakes for most businesses these days.

Even adding SAML or OIDC support really isn't that hard.
