Nope. The only fluid I worry about in my EV is windshield wiper fluid.

Dating myself… This brings back bad memories…

In the 70’s in elementary school I had a classmate who had a brother about two years younger than we were. In 1978 when the brother was only 8 years old he was killed in a freak accident. The family had moved to a new house whose previous owner collected war memorabilia. The brother found a hand grenade that had somehow been left behind. It was live and blew up in his hands.

Ten years later my former classmate was killed on board the Pan Am 103 bombing.

Archived New York Times article that is mostly about my classmate but mentions the death of the younger brother as well: https://archive.is/ykLi0

Those were the only two children in that family. I still think about them all from time to time to this very day…

It definitely needs to be private. If an attacker can obtain both the password hashes and the salt(s) (via the same database vulnerability for example) then they have everything they need to run offline attacks against the passwords.

It could be an older codebase that’s using an inline encryption algorithm as opposed to a hash. Using an encryption algorithm with a private key would result in varying length outputs.

Proper hashing of a password includes a salt that should be kept private. This means the password should definitely be passed to the server in plaintext. The server adds the salt to the password, then hashes it.

This adds more protection should an attacker somehow manage to get access to your hashed passwords. Even if they identify the type of hashing mechanism used it will prevent the use of rainbow tables, dictionary attacks, etc. against the hashes.

I’m outside Boston and I see a lot here as well…

There are already a growing number of EV alternatives. I will definitely be looking at all of them a few years down the line when I decide to get rid of my Tesla.

And it will run perfectly fine on ten year old computer hardware using nothing but cameras in any manner of weather.

If Musk is removed AND major changes are made to the brand then Tesla might have a long term chance in the US market.

I bought a Tesla before the Musk craziness was in full display, and I can honestly say I wouldn’t buy another one (or recommend them to others) unless they seriously redesigned the physical controls, and focused more on truly useful software features. Not just games, “fart mode”, and a full self driving system that’s been promised for a decade now…

So is Trump going to pay to have the pump in my private well replaced with a turbo powered one?

Well it is a day ending in “y”.

What ever happened to Cloudflares wall of lava lamps?

We have a handful of Python tools that we require to adhere to PEP8 formatting, and have Jenkins pipeline jobs to validate it and block merge requests if any of the code isn’t properly formatted. I haven’t personally tried it yet, but I wonder if these AI’s might be good for fixing up this sort of formatting lint.

Why even connect the tv to your local network?

Not sure if they have this specific GPU or not, but I know AWS has on-demand instances with GPUs (and other cloud providers like Google likely do as well). It’s probably just a matter of time before somebody deploys self-service images so a business that got hit by this ransomware could quickly recover on their own.

I believe he claimed that since humans use their vision to drive that computer vision was more than enough.

I don’t know about you, but I also rely on sounds & feel when I drive. I also know that the human eye has evolved to detect motion, filter out extraneous information, and send just the important bits to the brain so that it doesn’t get overloaded with everything the eye sees. Computer vision is the exact opposite from that, having to process every bit of every image the camera sees.

Not to mention it has the potential to completely distract the driver when the light turns green and other traffic starts moving again.

I’d be surprised if that worked these days. They do much more than just a cursory check whenever we go. And they also now scan your membership when you enter, and your photo pops up on their tablets. I’d be curious what would happen if the photo didn’t match…

My wife borrows a lot of ebooks from our library, which are delivered to a kindle through Amazon. I’ve used this USB download option to remove the DRM from some of those borrowed books. Guess I’ll have to figure out a new approach now…
