Yup. But this wasn't ever about protecting children. These laws are about shaming people, and asserting dominance over those who like things that they don't, and about compiling an easily subpoenaed list of people whom they consider deviants.
If the laws were really about protecting children, they would have passed a law requiring browser vendors to provide age check support in a privacy-protecting way.
You can puncture a brake line
Presumably not on these trains since if they were using air brakes there would be no need for a radio interface.
It is as bad as it sounds. If you triggered it at the right time you could cause a derailment as the brakes applied full across the entire train. This is only likely if the train is moving at relatively high speed on bad track, though.
Trains use an air brake system with glad hand connections so that if a coupler fails (or more likely, wasn't correctly secured) the pressure is released and the brakes set on the entire train. The device we're talking about, which is known as FRED (on railroads the F is considered to be an F-Bomb) replaced the caboose in the 1980s. It monitors brake system pressure to ensure that it is in the operating range, and can also release the system pressure from the rear. This is needed so that the train brakes more from the rear than the front, although there is not much difference in timing unless the train is very long because the hoses are fairly high diameter.
It really ought to allow the user to just add new currencies of their choice.
BTC does make sense for inclusion, though, since it is popular.
They have always run firmware. I don't think it was always Java, but it has been for a long time.
Lick harder, I see some leather left on the wealthy's collective boots. Surely they will reward you richly!
If he wanted to help me with that he could have made the phone call, which either also would not have helped or would have done. He also didn't offer to call when I told him what happened, he acted like it was my fault.
Yeah I'm aware he was a shit father but there's lots of those
"The physical aspect really only means that you could not exploit this over the internet from another country, you would need to be some physical distance from the train [so] that your signal is still received."
If it is a passive signal, it seems like the only thing preventing that is a lack of transmit power, at least to within the limits of the curvature of the earth (or, depending on frequency, maybe not even beyond that limit). And it's hard to overestimate the potential for financial loss if someone remotely cracked into a SpaceX satellite and manipulated its SDR to send such a signal from space.
Even if the attack requires two-way communication, the attacker still wouldn't need to be close to the train; the signal generator would. Nothing prevents someone from maliciously dangling a battery-powered or solar-powered, cellular-capable pod off the edge of a highway bridge that crosses a railroad track and being half a continent away when actually triggering it.
On the flip side, the fact that this hasn't been exploited yet is a pretty strong indication that nobody is trying to attack us, making it likely a pretty low risk.
It's bullshit advice in general anyway. My dad thought he was friends with some guy who was an exec who worked for Diversey-Lever (initials J.L.) and he gave me "his" number to call to allegedly get an interview. So I called up about it and got a receptionist who I couldn't get past, and never got a call back. People like that don't have friends, just people they can use, and they have people in between to protect them from people who think they are their friends.
#1 - Did you somehow entirely miss the part that the nephews older brother - in the same generation with the exact same upbringing - is doing fine?
They don't have the exact same upbringing, in particular first and second siblings are typically treated differently in a number of ways. They also are not the same person, and different people are able to take advantage of different opportunities for multiple reasons — not all people have the preparation to take the same opportunities, and not all people will have the same opportunities handed to them. So no, you are factually incorrect, they did not have the exact same upbringing, and even if they did that would only be partially relevant.
Logic, you fail it.
If you think the government paid 70% of your tuition 30 years ago - I have a bridge to sell you. It simply didn't work that way, ever. In fact, most people in the 90's and 00's worked their way through school.
Oh look, more clown shit. The government provided more funding to those schools instead of offering predatory loans directly to students, so the tuition was a lot cheaper for the student, because so much of the cost was paid before they were billed.
You fail at facts, too.
Life is a competition.
Modern life as we know it is completely impossible without cooperation. Even the most trivial of finished goods require the input of hundreds or thousands of people. It is also be competitive, but it is inherently cooperative, and there's no reason not to make it moreso just to make the bootstrap pulling, boot licking crowd satisfied.
I'm not interested in being a slave for people too lazy or disinterested in even trying to support themselves.
That's what you are now. They are called CEOs and politicians.
SIM cards, from what I've heard, don't even seem to support strings.
You used to be able to store phone directories on SIM cards, albeit not with very many entries. On my Motorola Triplets and RAZR phones (original RAZR obviously, not the ones where they reused the name) you could easily choose whether you wanted them stored on SIM or locally. Maybe they don't know how to process strings, though, only store them. Or did they remove that functionality? I haven't tried to use it in many years, so I wouldn't know personally. Looking around I see that sometimes even SMS was stored on them?
The bogosity meter just pegged.
