Latency even over a few feet can matter.

Physical based attacks were the majority of the risk, and that was, practically, pretty minimal. If you want to watch from inside a VM, great, but mass attacks against watchers? I'm not seeing it. (Been going since DEFCON 9)

Depends on the state. I believe there are several in which the answer is "yes".

Also, depends on to what extent that room can be considered public. (IANAL TINLA)

And that's not the standard but rather in general use.

Except the virus is doubling over those days so completely ineffective.

By the way, depending on where it's hosted, S3 can seed torrents automatically: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/S3TorrentRet...

That would be very unlikely and easily reversed based on video data.

Thank you, I appreciate your perspective (and I think you're right)

Part of "Wear the Customer's Shoes" at Twilio (when I was there) was that each quarter every developer and product manager was expected to spend a full day doing front line support for free(-ish) tier customers and however long it took to fully resolve the tickets they got during that time. Really let you understand the type of problems people had, how to have empathy, and basically how to make a better product.

HipChat also had some pretty substantial outages.

There are some odd things that happen with sharp turns and this latency in the current version. It will cross centerline because it's chasing a frame that doesn't contain the steps in the turn to not cross.

I think his assertion is that Newton did feel like a noob. I tend to think pg's right. He's done novel enough things that he has an informed view. My experience with novel though less significant investigation and problem solving shows the same.

It's called getting context and generally a good idea.

iPhone uses a non-standard setup, probably with special hardware support for using magnetic for actual audio. There was a Defcon talk about the magnetic part, will see if I can find it.

That's when you could do layout by hand. I thought you meant a modern CPU which is what that UI runs on. Good luck using Facebook on a 6502 which really brings up the rest of the subsystems that collaborate with the CPU.

Facebook's user interface is at least a few orders of magnitude less complex than a CPU. What would lead you to think otherwise?

More like "the exercising should continue until you're actually exercising". Going through some motions that don't stress the body isn't exercise...

I had some good luck with https://github.com/sergiomsilva/alpr-unconstrained/blob/mast... as long as the images were high enough resolution. You might want to check it out, comes with trained models.

It's a public press conference, you can't eavesdrop on it.

How do you think things get too the cities?

I read it as related to the "limit Python to 1 million lines so it can be stable."

I was pretty unconcerned until I saw https://www.insecam.org/ which really disturbed me. The dystopia might just arise from cheap cameras, fast networks, and no commercial interest in security.

Thank you, I hadn't realized this. Is there a good source to read up on the evolution of the, at least perception, of a right to privacy?

> if we ever did it would be quite obvious and detectable that we had done it.

It's running in your device, you don't have to trust them if you have technical skill.

They're saying observing you in secret without a served warrant is wrong. (Not saying I agree either way.)

He invented modern graphics as a practical problem by himself as the sole researcher. Given the tools at the time that may have been a harder problem.

Timestamps across distributed systems don't work well as correlation tools as time tends not to be accurate enough to order application retries particularly but also fan out type requests. You really want parent / child or follows from relationships to collect and represent the graph correctly.

Feels like the buried lede is that all the other companies already sold out all the private information of their riders.
