Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!


In other news, water is wet.


I see a red AI and want to paint it black…


That’s how you know it’s evil.


It is common behavior for a lot of consumer IoT devices. If it goes on your network and you don’t control the software, you should consider it compromised. Even if the manufacturer isn’t doing outright malicious stuff, it likely isn’t secured very well (they never are) so there’s every chance that someone else could find it and use it as a platform for malicious activity.


Oh the bad feelings in general have existed for awhile… since about 2015 I’d say. But what I mean is that I have this feeling specifically about the bunker - that it is how Trump intends to not leave the White House (pure speculation, no real evidence).


Bleecker Street will open the film in select U.S. theaters Oct. 16 before expanding nationwide Oct. 23.


I’m starting to get a bad feeling about that bunker under the east wing… they keep talking about how important it is for national security, which for Trump means his own personal security.


It’s common for China to do.
The police operations are generally illegal in the host countries, but they’re “allowed” in the sense that most countries can’t afford to end their economic relationship with China.


I could see this as a replacement for a highway interchange/cloverleaf. Are we sure it’s not intended for that?
As a replacement for a 4-way stoplight intersection, yeah this is nuts.


That’s quite an assumption for you to make. Why would you believe this to be true about me?


Yup. I don’t think you can approve of this kind of research without also giving tacit approval to the police state being built around us.


It wasn’t voluntary for any of the people who had their rights violated by GM, OnStar and LexisNexis. And we know they aren’t the only ones doing this shit, they’re just the ones that got caught.
If we lived in a sane society, the people responsible for this shit would be occupying prison cells.
If I, as an individual, took it upon myself to install surveillance devices in peoples’ vehicles and collect behavioral data on them, without their knowledge and explicit consent, I would be (rightly) held criminally liable for that. But because this creepy stalking is being done by corporations, apparently that’s OK.


What a creepy Orwellian system we’ve built, to have this kind of information down to seconds. In the next study they’ll be including what direction the driver’s eyes were pointed in at the time of the crash.


Yeah, great, I’m sure that’ll be comforting for everyone who didn’t vote for it, when they can’t afford to buy the small amount of food that gets produced.


You can also just shim a Masterlock with a bit of soda can. A stiff piece of plastic will also usually work.


OK, so if you can pass the host root filesystem to a container and then write files or execute code with root privileges on that filesystem, I would definitely consider that a container escape. You’re executing arbitrary code on the host from within a container.
but how will we sell you all the things you didn’t know you needed
