How does somebody /not/ delegate when you have shared ownership or responsibility though? Shared walls, shared drives, shared roofs, etc?

This article (which I only skimmed, since it appears to be clanker-written) seems to completely ignore the new world we're in with security vulnerabilities - once the bug is confirmed, it is easy for many people of moderate skill in the art to rediscover in independently with AI assistance. The work the independent researcher who confirmed it / released an exploit did could have been done by many people - and probably was, including by members of the blackhat community. The fine details of the vulnerability are no longer crown jewels, just some rough details are enough

Yes they'd have lost - Russia and China would have nuked them to glass too - the only way to win the nuke game at that point was not to play.

Nukes were an option in WW2 because only one side had them

EMF Camp in the UK is looking at this and doing an experiment: The same badge back with most of the electronics on it, the same battery, and a swappable front plate to give some variation and new functionality. The badge is intended to last 3 events (6 years) and has thus far done 2 events.

We're also hoping the expansion connector might be used by other boards - i2c, 4 fast gpios, 5 slow gpios/pwms, 700ma of 3.3 power. A standard similar to SAO for identification via i2c flash

I had not entirely dissimilar thoughts, though I was thinking of static meshes. As mentioned in the article though, many of these people have very, very little reading or writing skills

Search youtube for drivers talking about thus from their personal experiences. There are hundreds of horror stories there to get you started. There have been websites dedicated to collecting such stories, though several have been lawyered to death.

Why has the stereotype of the coked-out stock trader or ketamine addicted delusional billionaire not held the same place in popular culture? Vagely functional coke heads are very, very common in certain circles

Just about all common psychological medication (by which I mean antidepressants, antipsychotics, ADHD meds, etc) have a pretty weakly measurable effect and effectiveness. If you take them, your symptoms might improve. In some casesthey'll get a lot worse. In many cases it will have no effect on your symptoms. There are lots of side effects.

What's the difference here?

Yet we still have tobacco and vape companies

In the US, there's a government shooting people in the streets, with jackbooted thugs operating with impunity in multiple cities, a leader who's started a war to try to drown our discussion of his pedophile tendencies, the highest court int he land has become nakedly partisan (and openly for sale), yet people are mad about the price of gas.

What an outsider thinks people should be mad about, and what they're actually mad about, are often two different things

I'd say instead that we value the commons and don't like companies making money by externalising all their problems to the general public.

If company Foo leaks my personal data, I suffer, they don't, so without regulation there's no reason for them to invest in protecting it. Same with pollution and similar

For encrypted disks, you've now got high-performance data shuffling between userspace and kernel space - a massive new attack surface

The thing with a jury is that there are motivated experts on both sides explaining the technical details in a (hopefully) easy to understand way, a judge to help ensure fair play, and an appeals process as an escape valve.

Where are any of those safety measures here?

You have a right under the GDPR to get a copy of all data associated with you PII data. Not just your PII data, but every table where PII is a field, or is transitively joinable. If they can provide somebody else something with your name associated with it, they have to provide it to you

Stock is worth exactly what people will pay for it. Ebay share holders get to vote to accept or reject this deal
