I would argue that growing up in a comfortable Western lifestyle is contributing to this infantilism and will be one of the contributors of the decline of the western world.
If you are a Syrian refugee, the last thing you are caring about is the new Mario Nintendo game and Starbucks frappucino.
Time to get serious and have children (me talking to myself)
Once the Syrian refugees arrive somewhere safe and settle, they quite like the creature comforts too. It's not an innate property of different groups, it's a Maslow situation.
I suppose you can move to Syria then. Thankfully the mature mindset of the socioeconomic realities have led to prosperity, and not total collapse, like the childish west.
>On a tangent; the calf muscle is a real hard muscle to build back...
I had real trouble growing my calf muscles. Years at gym and no progress. I found a way. 5 years after getting fat they're showing some good growth. In my case less gym was key.
Really appreciated Villeneuve adding small scenes to the movie like the gardener watering the date palms and the ecology outpost. It rewards people who read the book and also helps people who are just watching the movie with understanding the world.
Curious to see what other tid-bits from the book they will keep in part 2. Hopefully we can see some Fremen Sietches.
On another note, I've always wanted to write a load tester library, I would call it Gom Jabbar. If the service falls over it fails the test.

The biggest miss was Villeneuve not including Dr. Yueh's conversation with Lady Jessica that provides more context to why he did what he did.
3. Being wined and dined by sales people (that is definitely not a bribe)
4. Networking
5. Learn niche aspects of a programming language or framework, and prepare yourself for the future features
6. Food platters (can be hit or miss); word of advice, watch out for the fat Developers with the goatees and ponytails, or the skinny developers who dive bomb the food queue, they will clean up the buffet of the good stuff before you get there.
Also duck out the presentation 5 minutes before lunchtime so you beat the queues.
As someone who attended way too many events pre-pandemic, at some point I came to the conclusion that life is too short to eat bad conference venue food just because it's there. I mostly skip the long lines, soggy sandwiches, and most of the rest of the food on offer. It was harder when I was an analyst because they mostly fed us separately and pretty well.
CAN bus is a brilliant thing for car diagnostics and modification but with every good system normally has a sword of damocles.
I would imagine my Passat which has a CAN interface on the headlight cluster would be vulnerable to this attack as well. Maybe even the bonnet sensor could be vulnerable.
Car manufacturers could remove CAN interfaces from peripheral systems (lights, wing mirrors) but they probably won't because it would make maintenance a little harder and less cost effective.
The idea of a software update by the security researchers sounds sensible but updating ECUs (engine control units), CCU (climate comfort units), infotainment systems of legacy cars will not happen.
Say goodbye to the old car thieves with their manual tools, hello techy thieves.
It feels like this should be manageable without completely removing CAN interfaces from peripheral systems by having multiple busses that are interconnected to each other. Things like lights and wing mirrors can sit on a low security peripheral network, with the controller rejecting any commands that aren't whitelisted, it's not like you need to be able to plug arbitrary devices into your headlight socket.
It can if you have actually isolated busses feeding into what I will, for lack of knowledge of a better term, a CAN router. Maybe it exists, but I'm imagining a device with multiple CAN inputs that makes decisions on what messages to pass on to other busses.
That what gateway is doing and that's the reason why they are going for headlights (which are sharing bus with immobilizer I suppose) and won't go for door locks or TPMS.
Given range extender attacks on key fobs for cars (and subsequent methods to defeat that attack) techy thieves have always been around.
There are rumors that the algorithm and secret key for various manufacturers has been broken, and that any car with a remote can be stolen after recording the unlock and start sequence from nearby. But if you had the code that would do that, it's not like you'd upload it to GitHub, so that rumor remains just that, a rumor.
Is CAN bus actually a serial bus? If so, I wonder if it's possible to make a CAN bus jammer. Plug it in anywhere on your car, and its sole role is to detect all CAN bus messages and jam them. Add bluetooth to it, so you can switch it on and off from outside the car.

There are over 100 issues (aka bugs) in the spec though. Uncovered by these guys: https://youtu.be/zi0rHwfiX1Q?t=1150 (starting at 19:10, includes examples)
