  • It certainly is. ISO 27001 is a framework, not very prescriptive at all. Basically an auditor will ask “how do you ensure data isn’t leaving your facility in the form of discarded hardware?” If you say “here’s a link to our media destruction policy. It says all drives are wiped according to NIST 800-88 cryptographic erasure. If that is not possible or not applicable, the drive is destroyed. Here’s our log of decomissioned equipment” chances are very good they’ll say “OK great let’s move on to the next one” with only minor followup questions.


  • Digital millennium copyright act. It effectively moved the burden of proof for copyright infringement from the copyright owner to the accused, short-circuiting the existing IP laws, among other things.

    It is where much of the drama around copyright online stems from. It’s used as a way to quickly stifle anything someone posts that’s something you don’t like.

    It made circumventing DRM itself illegal, even if you’re not breaking copyright by doing so (even if it’s for your own research or backups).


  • If the rise time isn’t 0, it’s not a square wave.

    And if that’s your definition then there’s no such thing as a real square wave.

    Just like no physical objects can have a perfectly square corner, there will always be some radius, even if it’s just 1 atom

    The reason making a true square wave is hard is that there are physical properties of real life electrical components that prevent voltage (or current) from changing instantly. Similar to how we can’t instantly accelerate a mass from 0 to some speed, it’s physically impossible. The faster you try to do it, the harder it is due to inertia. In electronics, there’s always natural capacitance and inductance slowing things down. If you want a 10v square wave, you have to push some amount of electrons through some amount of capacitance and inductance and that, while it can be very fast, is never instant.

    Lmao idk if “most” even holds up in fiction. Even the “good” cops in fiction tend to perform illegal searches, abuse suspects, break the law in countless ways to get the bad guys. How many times have we seen the “good guys” stymied by their inability to search a home but one turns to the other and sarcastically says “oh I think I heard someone scream for help lol” kicks down the door?

    Sometimes they have a conscience but I’d call very few fictional cops “good”
