  • It’s a mechanism that is compulsory in EU (and nearby countries like Switzerland).

    When you try to spend money online (without the plastic card), you need a second factor. In practice in, let’s say, Amazon there is an iframe with a page of your bank that asks to confirm the operation on the banking app or insert the code they sent you by SMS or things like that

  • Dude, have you read the article? this is from an article on Nature.

    Nature! Not the flat earth society scientific newsletter.

    For publishing on Nature it is necessary that a number of the most well reputed experts in the field have peer reviewed the article.

    By modern standard of “science”, publishing on Nature or Science is the closest to get to “consensus”.

    I see your point in some newspapers articles but this is not one of that cases

  • Kremlin confirms Putin received COVID-19 testing devices from Trump

  • IMO is because Russia is a pariah now. It’s the same rationale that made Putin endorse Harris.

    It’s the same narrative “we, the GOP, are against Russia… see? Putin endorses Harris. See? They fabricated a lie that Trump gave tests to Russia. Because Russia is afraid of the GOP”

    I still have to somehow trust my ISP but I go down from having to trust my mobile ISP, my employer WiFi, random shops WiFi to just one ISP (that,fwiw, has shown to be transparent, customers friendly etc)

  • Yes, i got it, but it depends from the distribution. If there is correlation on where the bad apples appears (e.g. for cultural or socio economic conditions), it is more likely that we are close to the case of 3 bunches (that is 30 apples, just 5 more than the "original" apples)

    If we stop this parallelism (that is what I disagree with) and we move to the actual issue with the police, i think it's a problem with all power positions: all positions that come with power (no matter how small) attract certain kind of people. This is true from the folks that check tickets in public transportation to teachers. Police is worse because there is a lot of unchecked power and close to no accountability

    The solution is not how to do bin packing of the bad apples, the solution is reducing the power, increasing accountability and add checks (e.g. while body cam have some privacy implications that i don't like, it's a step in that direction)

  • Well it sounds more scary than it realistically will be.

    YouTube must pass to the player the metadata of where the ads start/end. Why? Because they need to be unskippable/unseekable/etc. If the metadata is there it is possible to force the seek 🤷‍♂️

    Just matter of time

  • Likely android 7 would not honor (or even be aware) of this new metadata bit. You'll be fine 🙂

  • You are technically (and possibly legally) correct... But the spirit of the law is allowing customers to install what they want on their devices.

    This move defuses the responsibility to the developers but EU showed in the past that what they care is the spirit of the law and not the law itself...and they are happy to change the laws to make them more adherent to the spirit

  • If I had to bet my money, a bad machine with corrupted memory pushed the file at a very final stage of the release.

    The astonishing fact is that for a security software I would expect all files being verified against a signature (that would have prevented this issue and some kinds of attacks
