Sure, but it's still a serious problem even if it's a side channel attack.

Almost everyone rely on the OS/hardware providing some isolation between apps People often install shady apps, and browsers automatically execute JS/bytecode from random website they visit. Using a modern device

PHEV do not deserve subsidies, and are a bad choice in most cases.

Let people buy them if they want, but let's not waste public money on hybrids. There's barely enough money for public services and for moving to less-polluting techs.

Yes exactly. Thanks for backing me up :)

Thanks, fixed. Sorry for being a bit too loose with spelling

This is a lose-lose-lose.

  • New cars don't respect people's privacy.
  • New cars cost more due to the extra camera/sensors/compute/connectivity necessary for tracking.
  • Less people buy new cars due to increased cost and tracking. Instead drive older, more polluting cars for longer.

Blockchain isn't good at anything, except maybe ranson payments.

But at least they picked Etheteum, it could have been worse.

An alternative to a ban: require a truck driving license for such big vehicles with limited visibility, ie this kind of SUV. Also, enforce the same kind of speed restrictions and fordidden areas as trucks, ie exclude from neighboorhoods with narrow streets.

Yes. What goes without saying goes even better when you say it.

It's worth spreading that information. But I can't help it, this one is quite obvious.

This particular discovery is about materials that may help with carbon capture, which is at best an extremely inefficient way to fight climate change. But in many case, the captured gas is reinjected to help extract more oil, which makes things worse.

The solution is to stop extracting and burning fossil fuel.

 

The reversal risks declawing a century of consumer financial protections and replacing the backbone of bank accounts.
