If I have a towing tool for your car, be sure I have a Faraday cage too to block all your GPS trackers while I dismantle the car. Think big truck that is isolated from both sound and electromagnetism and I simply hack at your car with my wrenches, selling your expensive Tesla for parts.
GPS jammers are less than $30 on Alibaba, truck drivers have been using them for over 10 years [1] to defeat their bosses tracking devices.
Multi-Band Jammers are $1000, burglary rings are using those to block all Wi-Fi, cell, GPS signals - check out this arrest report from last week in Pennsylvania [2]. If I was a high-end car thief, like in Gone in 60 Seconds, that's what I would use.
I think you missed the point. The Faraday cage is built inside the truck's cargo, and I put the car inside the Faraday cage directly. I also dismantle the car while the truck is moving so when I reach the chop-shop the GPS and all the car's guts are ready for sale.
And how that will protect you from repeater attack? I just steal your car while you are in mall with this just as easy, encryption or not. I don't care about the signal, just that I capture it, send it to my other device near your car and kaboom!, your car unlocked.
The key fob would always return a response the exact same amount of time after receiving the challenge, so couldn't the car learn the distance by measuring the time of flight?
I disagree. 12 V is not that much for an adult when you put it on your tongue, but with today's ubiquitous technology in everything, a toddler that puts everything in his mouth, will lead to a lot of distress and fears. I prefer the existing 5V. I suspect you are young and still not a parent.
Also, as a hobbyist, you can pretty much get a cheap PC power supply and transform it in a very professional "every volt and power under the sun" power supply for your hobbies. That's what I did.
This does not make sense as PD needs to negotiate with the device to get anything more than 5V. Putting random cables in your mouth won't result in getting 12V or even the 48V that PD can output.
> I disagree. 12 V is not that much for an adult when you put it on your tongue, but with today's ubiquitous technology in everything, a toddler that puts everything in his mouth, will lead to a lot of distress and fears. I prefer the existing 5V.
But PD not only already has 20V (or 19?) which can do everything 12V can, but I hear there's a new standard for going above 100W, which, presumably, works at an even higher voltage. Not sure how removing 12V specifically helps with the situation you describe.
Guess what USB-C PD defaults to when you put in on your tongue. Low current 5V. ;)
Most PSUs will happily send 50-100 watt down the 5V line to anything that's connected including childrens tongues while usb-c will top out at 15W without negotiation
So maybe spare me the misinformed lecture about what is safe...
I was joking in 2007, when I was working at Siemens, to my boss, that an Excel cell can contain God and the Multiverse when I put an ActiveX inside that was basically a program I made which would draw a 3D animation based on parameters contained on other cells. Let's say the boss was impressed though for me was just basic OLE.
I see from time to time that younger generations reinvent/rediscover the wheel and I chuckle.
What caught me out was the random argument that undocumented (see: illegal) immigrants should receive social security benefits. By the very definition of how documentation works this would be impossible, so I’m assuming the author is advocating for extending citizenship en-masse.
Yet until 1996, any worker who payed into social security (which includes many undocumented immigrants) was entitled to its benefits. The source the author linked makes this clear.
> When the Social Security program began paying benefits in 1940, there were no restrictions on benefit payments to noncitizens.
> In 1996, Congress approved tighter restrictions on the payment of Social Security benefits to aliens residing in the United States. The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA)23 prohibited the payment of Social Security benefits to aliens in the United States who are not lawfully present, unless nonpayment would be contrary to a totalization agreement or Section 202(t) of the Social Security Act (the alien nonpayment provision).24 This provision became effective for applications filed on or after September 1, 1996. Subsequently, the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 199625 added Section 202(y) to the Social Security Act. Section 202(y) of the act, which became effective for applications filed on or after December 1, 1996, states, "Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no monthly benefit under [Title II of the Social Security Act] shall be payable to any alien in the United States for any month during which such alien is not lawfully present in the United States as determined by the Attorney General."
Also, many (maybe all?) documented non-citizen immigrants are eligible for social security if they meet the other criteria, so there's no reason to assume the author is arguing "for extending citizenship en-masse". Nor even that they are arguing for more visas being granted at all
Keep in mind that "undocumented" is a term-of-art. They may in practice be extremely well documented, in every regard except for an active visa.
A significant portion of "illegal" immigration is folks who have overstayed a legitimate work visa (and hence obtained a social security number during the visa application process), and there's also the whole bucket of folks who applied for a social security card under the DACA (which protections have since been mostly rescinded).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_immigration#Terminolog... "undocumented" is a euphemism since "illegal immigrant" sounds like the person is illegal (vs having done an illegal action), but it has the unfortunate effect of leading to exactly this kind of confusion.
The issue is that only the south got rich. Not "America".
The north got rich off factories and wage earning labour. To equate the wealth of America to the south is a falsehood. And not a helpful one. It misleads you into missing the travesty of slavery: it did not build a nation. It gave leisure to a couple lucky families at the expense of hundreds per plantation.
The industry and wage earning of the north is what built America.
The white liberal has been attacked way too hard throughout history despite literally being the good guy of history for hundreds of years. I’m so glad to see us finally defending our heritage. John Brown was a white liberal and a lot of black people cite him as “the realist white man who ever lived”.
Americas racism was primarily southerners being racist. It took white liberals to liberate everyone else, and we have to thank and celebrate the white liberal, not shit on them yet again.
You missed my point. US was not rich due to slavery, quite the contrary, after abolishing slavery, after (sic!) civil war, it became no. 1 economy in 1871.
Here is the list of GPD countries in 1861, before the start of civil war:
1 - China - $199.6 billion
2 - India - $125.7 billion
3 - United Kingdom - $85.8 billion
4 - France - $72.3 billion
5 - Germany (Prussia and other states) - $52.4 billion
have you ever heard of jim crow? and also hockey stick growth? hockey stick growth is the common hacker news ideology, i know you know what i'm talking about.
this is the history of labor in america, therefore relevant in an infographic that deals with the race and class dynamics of labor. sorry that you got offended by the truth.
that a bacteria decided to "lemme make this dude ask a question on HN". On a serious note, it's already answered in the article - it means that our behavior is not only influenced by the gut bacteria (already proven), but the brain ones too.
Do that in Japan and you're gonna be unemployed forever. You'll either open your own business (fat chance of that succeeding) or move abroad (again, with what money in your 20's?).
Yeah, that's why these agencies exist. Use them and you can literally stop showing up to work and still get all your required documents, with no hassle.
Quote: "To defend against concatenated ZIP files, Perception Point suggests that users and organizations use security solutions that support recursive unpacking."
That's the worse advice actually. You want the hidden shit to stay there unable to be seen by default programs. That's how you got all the crap in Windows mail starting from 90's when Outlook started to trying to be "smart" and automatically detect and run additional content. Be dumb and don't discover anything, let it rot in there. The only one that should do this is the antivirus, rest of unpackers/readers/whatever stay dumb.
I agree. The ZIP definition is extremely clear that the contents of the ZIP are defined by the single Central Directory at the end of the file. Local headers are only valid if pointed to by the Central Directory. Any other local headers are just supposed to be treated as garbage, except by software that is specifically meant to recover corrupted ZIP archive's contents.
