It’s not provable how MUCH the DNC hacks helped Trump, I agreed. But if you can prove that Russia was responsible, then you’ve proved Russia helped get Trump into office. That doesn’t make his administration illegitimate, but it does make his administration less legitimate; especially when appointing people with ties…

Even if you spoofed your IP address within the packet, there are higher levels of the TCP stack which can be used the validate that a packet’s IP is correct. A decent forensic analyst could certain determine that. You’d have to actually have some kind of access to the machine in question. Maybe it’s a Tor exit node…
That would be a great argument if the hacks had actually exposed any corruption. I’m genuinely curious what corruption you think the emails actually exposed. I’m not saying that there isn’t corruption in the DNC just as their is in the GOP; I’m just saying the emails didn’t actually expose anything.
The only thing…
I wouldn’t say that. The Trump campaign hammered on Clinton’s emails relentlessly, because they knew keeping the story in the media hurt her. Russia gave them new ammunition with which to keep the story in the media. The fact that the DNC was hacked legitimately is news; and creating a new story adjacent to Clinton’s…
Probably not $1.2B, but some non-negligible amount of money really does LEAVE the economy when Trump has little Twitter Tantrums like these.
I don’t know that I believe that. It’s not like $1.2 billion worth of shares left the market and that capital got re-invested. $1.2 billion is the amount that existing shares depreciated because of eroded investor confidence. If it was a closed system where value is never created or destroyed, we wouldn’t have a value…
Quite right of course I should not have included the army in that list, just the Air force.
No, my point was that Trumps tweets are not about making money, they are about punishing companies who defy him. If you didn’t get that, your reading comprehension is as shit as your understanding of market dynamics.
It’s not a false dichotomy at all. I said that Trumps actions removed value from the market. You claimed they did not because of short sells; which isn’t true since the value of shorts sells is unlikely to even be on the same order as the drop in the stock.
If you’d made the claim that people who pulled money out of…
For your argument to make sense, you would have to believe that someone made $1.2 billion off shorting Lockheed Martin stock. Is that what you think?
I would argue that would be the clearest case of insider trading in history; but now that I think about it, that probably wouldn’t make a difference for Trump. No one would care at this point.
I sure do, but first off, there is no way that anyone had secured against $1.2 billion of losses, so even if a few people made some money off this, there was still a huge amount of net wealth that was actually destroyed.
Second, arguing that short selling means that wealth ISN’T destroyed is like arguing that…
Good points, but you’re forgetting the driving design consideration of the F-35 that makes it so damned expensive: it’s supposed to be a single platform that all the services use to drive down maintenance and supply costs. The Army and Air-Force aren’t going to start flying f/a-18's any time soon.
No one, he is actually removing value from the stock market when he makes comments like this and eroding investor confidence. That’s the point, they are punitive measures against companies that are critical of him.
Even so, if they use Android as opposed to iOS or their own in-house software; there’s a half way decent chance they’ll use a processor that can run a Linux kernel other than the Android one. With a little bit of cleverness, you might be able to get your CentOS automotive.
If they start using Android to drive those consoles, maybe you won’t have to.
With an accurate enough clock on the car, you could solve the problem. Just have the car bounce a signal the fob and back to measure the distance, if it’s too far away you don’t open the door.
I’m aware of those devices, but if what Agilis says is true, this new device is a variation on that theme. It records the signal to play it back later, and that’s the kind of thing that could be solved by an encrypted, rolling key code instead of the method they currently use,
No, the important distinction of the device outlined above it that it doesn’t require the real key to be present; so it doesn’t just facilitate communication between the real key and the car. It spoofs the key; this is what encryption can solve.
Imagine if, instead of just broadcasting the same key code all the time,…
