Agreed. Can we file this under:
No Shit, Sherlock
Given that the editors can't even manage to file stories with "Ask Slashdot" in the title under the "Ask Slashdot" section (I'm looking at you Timothy!), I would have to say probably not.
My guess is that most slashdotters would happily go along with doing away with cash.
Your guess would be dead wrong, at least for this slashdotter.
To find out where the NSA put the twist.
Well P-224 isn't twist secure, if that's what you're hinting at.
In reality the backdoor isn't in SP800-90A, B or C. It's in FIPS 140-2 section 4.9.2. In a FIPS certified module, that procedure applies to all RNG outputs 16 bits and above. A test that changes the data to create a stream of known algebraic inequalities. Genius.
NIST recklessly broke our trust in them by allowing known to be broken encryption into their standard. Their new document may come with all the best intentions, but it will take years to rebuild that trust. Let's wait for what the crypto community has to say about these documents, before we blindly follow their latest standards.
Well you could go with the ANSI or ISO RNG specs.
Oh wait, they're written by the same people.
RF jamming and/or GPS spoofing would be a better/easier way to down these craft, and a drop from 500 feet into a forest fire would have the same deleterious effect on the airframe that bullets would.
Except that for many drones the default behaviour in such a situation is to freeze like a deer in the headlights right where they are. That's not going to help anyone in this situation.
I guess it's time to post a significant reward for information leading to the arrest of the person who did this. Apparently just the news stories about how stupid this is isn't enough to dissuade these idiots. So a good stiff fine is needed, and his drone seized. Hopefully that would finally send a message. Time for someone to 'fess up and spread the word to others.
Don't worry. The individual in question will self report via a youtube post within the next day or so. Problem solved.
Economic and social utility to whom?
People who would otherwise be homeless?
I think that there is one difference in this cycle though. I think that a lot of the ARM mortgages were eaten up in the great recession. Most of the loans nowadays are conventional, or in the case of investors, just cash.
I've saved 10s of thousands of dollars with ARM mortgages over the last 15 years.
>But personal and tax implications have done that,
What does that mean? Did they help or hinder?
>$500/month is $6K per year
Maintenance can be more than that. Especially with bad renters. You also have to live your life and good renters make for less stress.
>"Dropping a vulnerability" is common security community vernacular
Is it? Maybe I live in a security researcher bubble that doesn't interact with the cool security researcher kids who use 'drop' in place of 'publish'.
X was a thing, not an amount.
Queue up the internet insider trading frame up scenario.
#1 Hack A, a competitor to B, finding that A will do X.
#2 Hack B, leaving hints that it was A that did it.
#3 Leak to gullible idiot in B that A is doing X.
#4 Trade on X happening.
#5 gullible idiot trades on X happening.
#7 Trade on B being found out by the SEC
#6 SEC throws gullible idiot to the dogs.
#7 Profit!
