> leaving work [...] 2:15 a.m.

There's the problem.


How is there traffic at 2.15am to hit people though?


In CA, alcohol service stops at 2:00AM; people leaving bars immediately after can make the 2AM hour a very dangerous time.


You've obviously never lived in a big city.


Not knowing where your food comes from makes you unable to make an informed choice about what you consume. It is a tragedy.


Being a farmer doesn't mean you understand global food markets. Not knowing how to properly hill potatoes doesn't mean you can't understand global food markets.


Knowing how to run a micro farm doesn't help you know where your food comes from.


Being drunk off their ass [1] might help them having the guts. Can't blame them, they are sitting on a 2000 metric ton bomb.

Basically splitting the trusted circuit and testing the parts separately. This requires a trusted master circuit, but it can be arbitrarily small.

See https://perso.uclouvain.be/fstandae/PUBLIS/177.pdf


But what if the malicious code is time activated? (just an example)


This is actually addressed in the paper. Basically you can use testing to detect the timebomb, up to a negligible probability.

This paper is approachable, it's understandable without too much background if you're interested in the topic.


I don't understand the decap network: why not go something more classical 10n, 0.1u and 4.7u, i.e. just a cap for each frequency range?


I think its to place them near each VCC to minimize effect of wire parasitics. Dave probably explains it better:

Pretty sure each cap is associated with a particular pin on the microcontroller.


Which you could get by hacking WhatsApp endpoints.


Is there any evidence that this happened?


Very nice looking website.

FYI, you have a typo in the FAQ: "Can I change the time I get asked for an update?". I think "change my time" should be "change my settings".


Good catch!


My blog[0] runs on a 30 line bash script that generates the html from markdown, hosted on github pages. It would take about 10 minutes to change the host.

What I write isn't interesting per se, but I don't want to depend on the bon vouloir of a VC-backed startup somewhere to keep a whopping 4.3kB online.

Nice! Nitpick: it would be cool to be able to click on a language to automatically search for it.


Being misinformed due to the 'abstinence only' sex-ed. I wouldn't blame it on the teen, but on the education system, or the teen's parents who can't be bothered to teach birds and bees.


Misinformed how? It's not as if abstinence-only education claims babies come by stork.


It often claims things like condoms being ineffective against STDs or all sorts of birth control having far greater failure rates than in reality.


I was also taught: never carry a condom, because then you might be tempted to have sex. Instead of understanding that it's going to happen anyway, they teach that it shouldn't happen, so don't prepare for it.


Misinformed because they don't inform the kids about birth control. It's a sin of omission
