I can’t predict how a novel intelligence could prove to me that it is intelligent. A novel intelligence would have to work out how to do that for itself

The membership has another impact on the balance sheet. It not only adds revenue, it also cuts loss from shoplifting

Same. I have found it impossible to explain to the uninitiated so I delight in finding others who’ve found it!

It’s a nice property of elections that you can measure votes needing more intervention against the margin of victory before you decide your next step

Does it have to be one photo? If you reproduced a spinning drive but with the camera positioned to see half of the spinning disc, I wonder if it could capture the "stream" of pixels in one arc of the spinning disc

He didn’t work there. He was a Neo-Nazi and member of Neo-Nazi organisations, divulging secrets.

By keeping him out of jail, Mi5 stood to gain more intelligence

What a delightful little question!

In a previous job I worked for a site doing natural language parsing on recipes.

We noticed one of our partner websites had an unusual number of unique ingredients. It turned out every ingredient was a link to another recipe to make that ingredient, along the lines of your idea.

However for some reason (presumably SEO) they took this to the extreme and everything was a recipe. Including apples.

The recipe for “apple” is

1. Take 1 Apple

2. Eat and enjoy

But since Apple is a prerequisite for this recipe, infinite looping is a risk in the kitchen now

This couldn’t have been better timed for me.

I sit with a pile of raspberry Pis I throw into different rooms about the house and want to stick assorted tasks on them. My open question was how can I just image them, plug them in and centrally configure what runs on them with no more sd card or Mac detection shenanigans when I change their job.

I’ll be giving this a try!

I think it’s not a nation state actor thing. In 2018 British airways checkout got popped by a JavaScript being library being changed to eavesdrop credit cards. The same thing could easily happen with password forms

Granted they didn’t break the session in flight, but there is a low bar to achieve the same thing

> - Eavesdropping on you, doesn't happen because you use the password manager's autofill.

I rate this more likely and it’s one reason I still use TOTP stored in the same place as the password for other services.

A lot of sites are susceptible to cdn JavaScript compromises, and at least with TOTP stored in the same place as the password, a password replay attack has a very tight window of usability

If I am not misunderstanding (sorry if I am) it sounds like you use the http challenge where your cert provider tries to GET your challenge file — if so, could the DNS challenge be better suited? There, you put the challenge in a TXT record value

Not clear if it was message interception or (maybe more likely) Snapchat have their own moderation that can refer outward. The text is not e2e encrypted
