Every time a train rumbles to a stop, the energy generated by all that friction is converted to electricity

Friction is how classic braking work, and all the energy that goes into friction is lost. Regenerative braking typically rely on magnets and rotors to slow a train. When a train brake, it uses part of its kinetic energy to spin a rotor, which generate electricity using spinning magnets.

The article is otherwise interesting, it’s just unfortunate they got the basic physics wrong.

• You have a malicious actor on your trusted network.
• If so, you have bigger problems.

This is more likely than you think. There’s more computers than you realise on the average network. Many aren’t updated and have vulnerabilities. If there’s one malware on one machine on your network, that means a malicious actor is on your network.

Common exemples :

• Home WiFi network with old unpached router, Android smartphone, network printer, security camera, thermostat, robot vacuum cleaner, smart lightbulb, smart TV, …
• Unsecure WiFi network at the cafe, train station, hotel, … where you connect a laptops that is sometimes used for printing and which has CUPS

China’s Ministry of Commerce said Tuesday that PVH Corp. must provide documentation and evidence within 30 days to show it did not engage in discriminatory practices

That’s one way of saying they want this US company to provide proof they don’t comply with US sanctions.

I don’t understand what they’re realistically hoping for. Forcing them to pick between operating in the US or operating in China?

At least this is putting a spotlight on the genocide of Uyghurs.

fines of up to €50,000 ($55,580) for supporting “the refusal to have children.”

I’m sure the law is absolutely consistent and grant the right to adopt to gay couples, right? Right?

That sounds promising for anyone with a weak immune system, who is unable to benefit much from vaccines.

This hasn’t gone through clinical trial yet, according to this article, so it’s going to take more time, money, and luck.

Yes

The electromagnetic force from the atoms’ respective electron cloud probably help prevent atom from getting close to each other. And the strong nuclear force also help prevent atom from splitting.

It’s obvious that it’s about the country, at least for anyone outside the US.

They’re looking for a way to save the live of people in respiratory distress, such as intensive care patient with Covid19 and damaged lungs.

Doctors and biology researchers need to move passed the ick factor sometimes to make progress. Joking about it is a good way to do that.

Link to other sources are welcome.

I searched for sources and picked this article as it’s both relatively exhaustive, and one of the firsts ones published on this topic.

China’s really being a champion of peace and stability /s

Gambling and loosing your life savings has never been easier!

That’s a good point. The legal defense fund might still be a good idea, with enough publicity it could get donations.

An idea: use some of that money to start or contribute to a legal defense fund for drags and queer people.

There’s so much lies and hate in some places/groups. If more victims had access to a decent lawer to defend themselves, politicians would think twice before launching random accusations.

Thankfully, regulators aren’t betting on perfect reliability to keep these power plants safe. Critical systems need to have double redundancy.

Knowledge of the account is an obvious caveat. Yubikey-based MFA is an added layer of protection for accounts, so any kind of attack against MFA assumes the attacker already knows which account to target.

It’s like saying “our door lock is flawed, but the attacker would need to have knowledge of the door”.

The cost and complexity is what’s noteworthy and is more relevant. Although attack cost and complexity usuallu goes down with advances in tooling and research. So it may be a good idea to plan a progressive retirement of affected keys.

That data comes from Google. They aren’t billing android users. They’re just hoarding data for no good reason.

Police isn’t going after Apple for this kind of data, probably because Apple isn’t collecting it.

Even mobile telecom company probably don’t need to collect that data. They need to process the location/cell location when a call happens to process it, and to increase a counter for local vs roaming call duration for billing purpose. As soon as the call ends the location information can be discarded.
