Replace 'happy' with 'neurotic' and you got it!

Have you given any movie theaters a permanent and persistent copy of your ID lately? Your phone number? Make them a list of anything and everything you've read about lately?

What is the fight over? It semes like some people are fighting over age restriction at all, and others are fighting over the specific exchange of age proof mechanisms.

Can we have the former without the latter? My own fight is squarely with the latter.

I think I'm beginning to realize, however, that the onus should be on both sides of the issue to find a reasonable common ground.



Excuse my ignorance if otherwise obvious—but how does legalized but untaxed gambling raise any public revenue? Bookie licensing?

Why on earth would you think it's untaxed? A legalized gambling business trivially creates taxable income.

Ah, right. These legalized bookies should be paying income tax to the jurisidictions they operate in (albeit probably happening as reliably as winning bettors are on their winnings).

  The CuRe Trial is exploring whether stem cells can add regenerative power to surgery, potentially improving mobility and quality of life.
  
  “This is a major step toward a new kind of fetal therapy, one that doesn’t just repair but potentially helps heal and protect the developing spinal cord,” said Aijun Wang, co inventor of the placental-derived stem cell treatment technology and the study’s co-principal investigator [ . . . ].


That doesn't really explain anything biologically. Just vaguely says "potentially helps heal and protect"


They cite this paper which gives the concept: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S002234681... . The mechanism of injury in spina bifida is that the spinal cord gets exposed and damaged. Current surgery will close the spinal canal to prevent further exposure, but it doesn't do anything to reverse the damage that has already happened. The stem cells integrate into the neural tissue and hopefully help the axons heal.

No, by all means. Add a couple more paragraphs. Your rant seethes with credibility.


You can't expect much from people who think Kiwi Farms and content from members of the site are a reliable source of information.


Is that what I said? Or did I merely bring up that (I think) there's a thread about you on that site? I didn't exactly say they're a reputable source of information, but they certainly are known to glom onto internet ""personalities""....

I actually don't regret going in and turning "show dead" on so I could see it. Knowing that someone is considered a lolcow is legitimately useful information.

It might no be polite, you might not like it, but it is useful data to people who prefer their truths entirely unfettered by nosy busybodies who call themselves "moderators".


Who in the derp are you?


That question has no relevance other than to gin up an ad hominem. Shame on you.

Who *in the derp.


Access points by their very definition are not capable of inter-VLAN routing.


I mean yes and no, if an AP is configured for multiple VLANs you could implement inter VLAN routing on the AP itself. It seems stupid but if your software is ported from a switch or a router to an AP, it could include that.

But yeah I agree, generally it would be receive traffic on a bssid, tag it, and send it out the wire upstream and let the switch deal with sending it back if its allowed by whatever VLANing policy you have.


Much of (if not the vast majority of the 'worthwhile') traffic you're intercepting is still encrypted packets though.

Not to minimize the recon value of the plaintext stuff. But not really fair to say you're 'bypassing' any encryption but for the WPA-specific kind.


People who use or rely on client isolation want to prevent inter-client attacks, for whatever reason. We show that this can often be broken. This can be problematic when you have older hardware in your network that is rarely updated, and many then rely on client isolation to mitigate attacks. If everything is encrypted and properly patched, then our attack indeed has less impact, but then there also wouldn't have been a good reason to use client isolation in the first place ;)


Disagree with your final statement. There's good security (and performance) reason to use any/all viable network isolation/segmentation/separation, etc., whenever/wherever possible. So-called Wi-Fi 'client isolation' is but a single network security strategy. No single strategy should be relied upon exclusively, nor avoided for that matter.

But it seems we otherwise agree on the overall impact of this vector. My point was mostly about the statement regarding any 'bypassing' of encryption.


It indeed seems we overall agree. Even if I may not have always explicitly said 'Wi-Fi encryption' for convenience, that can be derived from context normally, though it's always hard to estimate how people interpret text (and even harder to predict how others write about it :).


Sería 'sponsored posts.' Como angloparlante nativo, tenía que comprobar que fuese una palabra de verdad 'patrocinate' (como 'patrocinado').


Yes, my bad. Hi from Argentina!


¡Mucho gusto!, desde los EE.UU.


Alright, I'll be the dude to call a spade a spade: it was all done for "clicks."

The sheer banality of that tends to eventually wear on a dude.
