Oh, the FBI doesn't need that to get a warrant nowadays, they are happily hacking foreign servers too.

That's obvious because in all European countries consumer protection laws require law suits to be located at the court of the residence of the consumer.

So requiring a consumer to sue away from his residence is obviously not possible.

It's the EU. The non tracking comes from a court in Belgium (and it's good practice to stop doing it in the whole EU, because it's obviously in compatible in concept with the old and new privacy directives, it's just the first country what a court has ruled).

French consumers can sue any EU company at home.

Furthermore you have the issue that a number of EU countries are critical to popular tax dodges.

The EU. Consumers can sue EU companies in their home country.

Uncrippled would be something with a swappable battery.

As long as one cannot print out the image as a QR code ;)

The system mentioned is not a drm, it's a code obfuscation system that makes sure that the steam (or whatever) drm stays in and cannot be just easily removed.

One important detail. This gut is not a spammer. He's a scammer. For this kind of attack to work you need very targeted emails tailored to the recipient. (I'm having problems calling the receiver victims. you do not need encryption to protect yourself just a working brain. I get a crazy email from my boss, the first thing that happens is that I need clarification, and surprise surprise is obvious that one asks via a different channel for clarification.)

The difference is that NSL can be used to acquire existing data, but not to force someone to design broken systems.

Yes and no. The better people in the industry continue to learn, every day.

Actually, my current team lead expects us to learn all the time, and is completely willing to take the hit in longer ticket handling times.
OTOH, my current boss is an outlier in my experience in this industry.

Important part:

        Finally, we do not consider executable binaries that are obfuscated
        to hinder reverse engineering. While simple systems,
        such as packers [2] or encryption stubs that merely restore the
        original executable binary into memory during execution may
        be analyzed by simply recovering the unpacked or decrypted
        executable binary from memory, more complex approaches are
        becoming increasingly commonplace, particularly in malware.

So, there are numerous issues here:

1.) getting the samples for training (e.g. the authors already mention this as a problem) => github and friends distribute source code, and it's not necessarily trivial to get the compiler and options right to recreate the correct binary.

2.) If you would for example profile me online, you'd learn from code repositories that I know python, and you might from post interfere that I know other languages. My Python repositories will not help you identify my binaries build in C.

3.) And worst, the code where this deanonymization would be most useful, e.g. malware, is very hard to handle, as it's usually obfuscated to the max. Worse malware has been known to mutate itself on replication to avoid leaving a signature for virus scanners.

Anyway, nice ML paper. ;)

Well, Oracle is not to blame.

The landlord is to blame if they used illegal means to evict the renters.

If the eviction was legal, well, you do have a problem with the local laws then, wouldn't you say?

Then the community can sue the guilty gits responsible (police officers, school officials, ...) to reclaim the expenses. Ideally in a way that the millions are not dischargable in their bankruptcy proceedings.

Learning handicapped people (e.g. officials) need some strong examples to learn anything.

Lawyer up, and be nice to the county, e.g. sue the school board and the police only for $100 million each.

The stupid officials will only learn to handle things like this with common sense after a number of crippling court rulings.

It's not about social media. It's about the age of consent for data processing. Basically before you reach that age your parents have to consent for you in privacy related things. Which is technically not a bad thing IMHO.
