The article specifies there are brute-forcing radios out there that can open bmw's so no, everyone is in danger.

Depends on where you live. 20k for a car where I live is very expensive. I honestly would not risk even a 5k car on this broken system, is it that hard to put a key in a hole?

I find it very funny that for such expensive cars there are no security considerations.

I hope to god those contactless credit cards can't be just cloned with a long range rfid reader or else this is gonna be a very funny few years

You should put up a donation link. If more people do that and it becomes common practice to donate to useful open source tools / projects then imagine what more awesome stuff could be created. Many people desire to build tools but don't have the financial support to do so.

I'm guessing here aswell but I think the greatest minds are more captivated by solving the puzzles of the universe than poking and prodding the human mind which is much more tedious and doesn't require that level of imagination / abstraction. Neurology might but lack of tools prevented significant advances.

So the smartest people aren't doing it and on top of that far fewer people in general go into it. I have no idea about this but maybe there's fewer grants for psychology and so fewer people are encouraged to go into research?

You perfectly described my process so now there's 2 data points. If anyone else had some different way please share.

From level 25 forward ( minus 26, spirals seem to be easy to simulate for my brain ) it's a fascinating example of how your subconscious bruteforces.. I managed to finish 25 and 27 but I honestly have no idea how I did it and if I had to do it again it'd take a while.

I was wondering, for you guys out there that went past 25, were you able to visualise how the puzzle worked and plan out the moves or did you try different stuff until you got in a situation that seemed solvable and then baffled at the realization that you actually did it?

I guess it's a good thing I have my laptop setup to use google's dns no matter what network i'm on.

the boost asio dismissal doesn't seem warranted, not everyone cares about how large a library is as long as it gets the job done.

Actually this is taught in anthropology ( at university ) in romania as scientific fact.

Thanks, I didn't know that. I myself don't know if I dislike pink because i associate it with weakness or not.

Do you have any articles about toy function being socially conditioned into genders? Girls toys mostly consist of 'nurturer' stereotypes. For example tea sets, doll houses or baby dolls with baby cribs.

I believe feminism is most prevalent today than it ever was in history, are there any statistics showing that girl toy sales have declined?

From a quick search i find this : http://www.marketwatch.com/story/mattel-net-falls-24-as-barb...

Barbie sales declining but American Girl is up 14%.

You'd think that half a century of counter-culture would almost drive to the ground gender specific toy manufacturers.

Do you believe marketers have an agenda about indoctrinating girls to like pink?

In the hopes that you are not a conspiracy theorist you must assume marketers haven't done any research about what girls innately like and are purely marketing products based on what you might call 'traditional' views.

It's much easier to market sugar than it is to market broccoli so that's what most foods marketed today contain. I don't believe we like sugarry treats because of marketing. I believe marketers market flavours of sugar because sugar is what we're wired to like first and foremost.

I myself believe in market dynamics. If girls were interested in what boys had they'd pursue it. If girls hated barbies they would nag parents about getting a train or a car and market demand for barbies would dry up. The fact that toy dolls are a billion dollar industry should make one sceptical about the supposed 'girliness that society instills in girls'. I find that premise as silly as thinking boys were somehow 'indoctrinated' into liking computers.

I'm not even a dabbler in this kind of stuff but wouldn't it be fair to assume that individuals that invest small ammounts of money ( up to 100k let's say ) could potentially see larger ROI than big investors since big investors change the market prices so much when they trade with tens of millions?

For example in bitcoin if you trade with 5 BTC you could scalp for some nice poket money but you couldn't possibly do this with 10000 btc

Is there any evidence that becoming good at chess improves any mental aspects or is it just a hard game that you can brag about being able to play?

T.D : Do you know what a hyperloop is?

N : A sort of train that moves in vacuum

T.D : It's just a very fast train. Now why do guys like you and me know what a hyperloop is? Is this essential to our survival? In the hunter gatherer sense of the word?

I totally agree, that said think about gold.. just a bunch of atoms that reflect light in such a way that our brain computes it into a 'shining' image..

I cringe aswell when I see such videos but they're for media attention not to people very well informed like yourself. They do no harm to you except for cringing for a few seconds. On the other hand these kind of videos appeal to sheeple on an emotional level.
