He’s gonna abuse his Malaysian maid isn’t he?

The funniest thing about this is that Prime day is a “holiday” of their own making. It’s not like it’s the Christmas push caused by consumers.

Just recently there was a guy on the NANOG List ranting about Anubis being the wrong approach and people should just cache properly then their servers would handle thousands of users and the bots wouldn’t matter. Anyone who puts git online has no-one to blame but themselves, e-commerce should just be made cacheable etc. Seemed a bit idealistic, a bit detached from the current reality.

Ah found it, here

Yes it’s very common, which is why everyone of even mild intelligence knows to check the results of a plain full text search.

Whoever came up with that stupid word filter and decided to follow through on it without proper human review that the filter matched what they meant to find, is pretty trans-intelligent.

The company has not released information on whether, or how long, it has spent mapping out or testing the driverless technology on Austin’s streets.

That’s being too nice, the CEO is clearly proud of not mapping cities, as seen in the tweets. The journalist should call it out explicitly. “They are probably not mapping as suggested by the CEO’s public posts.” That’s not too much of a leap.

He’s just stirring shit to get his name out there isn’t he?

Doesn’t “citizenship” mean where you’re born?

Only in the new world continents. In Africa, Europe, and Asia it normally means what country your parents and grandparents are from, unless someone in the chain naturalises to a different country.

Heh a royal patchwork family then. I guess as a non blood relative to the crown prince he wouldn’t be in the line of succession?

I wonder how betrayed the people in the Appalachian feel when their supposed “own” Vance stood for this.

They are hardly even in the US market. Only via Murena with their e/OS/.

Those are both way more useful than exploiting a lazy coder’s fuckup

I never said social engineering, physical breaching, exerting force on people, and other ways of compromising systems weren’t useful. They just aren’t hacking to me, otherwise the term is too broad to be very useful.

You’re free to come up with your own definition, I was asked to define it and that’s my best shot for now.

You know my first instinct wast to reply with: “No.”

Maybe I should have stuck with that. I had a feeling this would lead nowhere.

I’d start with the following, and refine if necessary:

“Gaining unauthorized access to a protected computer resource by technical means.”

• Port scanning --> Not hacking because there isn’t any access to resources gained*
• Using default passwords that weren’t changed --> Not hacking because the resource wasn’t protected*
• Sending spam --> Not hacking because there isn’t any access to resources gained
• Beating the admin with a wrench until he tells you the key --> Not hacking because it’s not by technical means.
• Accessing teacher SSN’s published on the state website in the HTML --> Not hacking because the resource wasn’t protected, and on the contrary was actively published**
• Distributed denial of service attack --> Not hacking because there isn’t any access to resources gained

* Those first two actually happened in 2001 here in Switzerland when the WEF visitors list was on a database server with default password, they had to let a guy (David S.) go free
** The governor and his idiot troupe eventually stopped their grandstanding and didn’t file charges against Josh Renaud of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter, luckily

I haven’t heard of a firewall failing open when overwhelmed yet. Usually quite the opposite, a flood disables access to more than just the targeted device, when the state table overflows.

But maybe there is a different mechanism I’m not aware of. How would the DDoS change the properties of ingress?

DDoS is not hacking

Did he just chicken out from chickening out?

They do actually burn gas locally, I wasn’t trying to dispute that part. It has become a political discussion in Memphis. Apparently they wanted to start operations on turbines before the grid access was ready.

Ah I found some more info from the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung:

Lame wurde am 6. Juni auf dem Flughafen von Las Vegas im Bundesstaat Nevada von der US-Einwanderungsbehörde vorübergehend festgesetzt und flog noch gleichentags freiwillig nach Kanada weiter. Offenbar hatte Lame übersehen, dass seine elektronische Einreisegenehmigung (ESTA), die zwei Jahre lang gültig ist und mehrmalige Einreisen ermöglicht, abgelaufen war.

It says he didn’t realize that his ESTA authorization (which you can use for multiple visits, but is only valid for two years) had lost validity.

The linked video is a bit unclear to me. The don’t explain the modes well. Mostly it seems to just show heat. According to the description it’s a Teledyne FLIR G620, which should be able to detect Methane and other VOCs. But it’s not clear to me how we are supposed to distinguish hot rising CO2 and H2O from any potentially leaking Methane, in those pictures.
