Overall good article, but I disagree with this point: >Large systemic issues persist with no ability to tackle them in a large, mobilized, or strategic manner.

Federated systems have existed for a while and are only getting more practical and popular every day. It's a mistake to discount these systems and say that we do not possess the ability to do something like this in a "large, mobilized, strategic manner".

>keeps security people focused on externalities instead of getting real traction to effect the design and production of better products and systems.

A lot of the times the security people have their hands tied behind their back because a lot of these businesses don't consider security as an integral goal from the get go. All they want to do is fail fast and fail often and just get something out the door without considering security which then leads us to all sorts of ridiculous situations. This is what leads to a lot of these security professionals playing the game of "externalities" and doing the next best thing of mitigating the already poorly secured business instead of actually fixing it because it's already too late and it would "cost too much" to redo everything properly.

If you do end up reuploading it, please look into fixing all the typographical issues too. Ty!

thank you!

The Pixel fingerprints aren't as unique since only the accelerometer is factory calibrated.

>In the case of iOS devices, the SensorID includes both the calibration fingerprint of the gyroscope (GyroID) and magnetometer (MagID). In the case of Google Pixel 2 and 3, the SensorID includes the calibration fingerprint of the accelerometer (AccelID).

You can also stop websites from doing this by turning off JS in browsers like Firefox Focus or using something like NoScript.

>We only have access to a few Pixel devices,and therefore we are unable to perform the same analysis as we have done on iOS devices to determine whether the fingerprint we obtain for Pixel devices is globally unique or not. The IMU in other Android devices is also likely factory calibrated but the calibration is typically restricted to offsets(i.e., bias compensation). Our approach targets the gain matrix and cannot recover bias compensation.

If you want "to be fair", why not mention all these details too?

Is this a reference to something cyberpunky?

So? You say that like it's a problem. China being the number 1 economy is inevitable and I, for one, am looking forward to it.

This in addition to all the "security" advisories to other countries seems like a move to curb their economic growth more than anything.

How does one determine the "normal" levels of distraction/laziness from clinically diagnosable ones? Surely this is a spectrum. How does one determine the threshold? Is this just stats/distribution based? Does it vary from population to population? How much of this is nature vs nurture? Are there physical/neuro-structural/procedural differences in the brain? How do we know the so called medication isn't just treating the symptoms as opposed to solving the problem, if not causing more/other problems (kind of like anti-depressants)? How much do we actually know about all of this?

I don't know any details about ADD/ADHD, but I can relate to a lot of these symptoms. I never once thought I had ADHD, but it would make sense that something like this is a spectrum rather than a binary property.

how ironic

As long as AV1 works without js, sure.

regardless of what "definition" of theory I used, the post is still without conclusion. It started off somewhere and then never made a point.

What's the theory? So far you just stated a premise...

You couldn't sound more pretentious if you tried

Maybe that's the point. Wildcards sometimes succeed just like that.

source please?

Just because it's a meme, doesn't mean it isn't at least somewhat true.

Is this assuming you have GPS on all the time or are you saying they're actively tracking everyone's locations using other means as well?

No it's not. Career =/= life.

In the pro-usa way.

I think the reference was to the function names.

Destin's bias and hypocrisy makes it hard to watch his videos.

sounds like a personal problem

There's things like https://www.nycmesh.net/, https://tomesh.net/ and a bunch of others I can't find right now.

Yeah I know, I'm just expressing my desire that it would.

It's nice, clean, simple and nowhere near as "bloaty" (for lack of a better word) as normal FF on android. I use it as my default browser on my phone, but (for some reason[1]) every now and again it dumps articles I leave open and then I am no longer able to find and read them :/

[1] I have a feeling it happens after every update.

I just wish FF Focus would let you sync your browsing history :(

perhaps you're projecting and just smell what you want to smell?

scissors does
