I think they might have gotten it wrong in the article, since travel passports are a much bigger problem than ID cards (which also contain RFID chips), because the former contain more sensitive information. In particular, storing fingerprint information is optional (i.e. decidable by the card holder) for the ID card but mandatory for the travel passport.
Think you may need to add a bit more about the technology involved..how easy to integrate, that sort of thing. Is this a component for iOS, or..?
Yes that's indeed true, see my comment above.
It was a great OS and language.

For me it opened my mind to what is possible with a GC enabled systems programming language and made me delve into Modula-3, Oberon derivatives and its precursor Mesa/Cedar at Xerox PARC.

Unfortunately all of those not touched by it, still don't believe in GC enabled systems programming languages.

At least a little bit of its soul now lives on as Go.

Even if I dislike some of its design decisions, it would be nice to see someone redo Oberon in Go (it just needs a bare metal runtime like Oberon's KERNEL).
I worked at a company where the whole server room was flooded. They had to replace everything and restore stuff from backups.

Two weeks later, they had to do it all over again because something went wrong with the air conditioning and the servers got cooked.

I kept recommending going with AWS because of that... I no longer work there, but as far as I know they're still running their own servers.

I don't get the value proposition. Why would I use this instead of just using a web view that shows a page from my website?

The only reason for using a service like that is for quick low budget iPhone apps, where I want to give clients an easy way to update the FAQ. But your landing page doesn't show what the admin interface looks like.

Also, I believe that monthly pricing won't fly for your audience. This is only interesting for low budget projects, and you usually don't have an ongoing budget to pay for stuff like this. You'll have to make it a pay-up-front solution.

I think this would work better as a component on one of those component marketplaces, and with instructions how to host the FAQ on your own server.
GitHub README.md files are a nice example for use case.

Some days ago i need a new Travel Passport and i felt not good when they want my fingerprint. It feel like you are a criminal.

Did not know until now that microwave can destroy the chip, but i will think about it.

I am not paranoid, but I did not see any advantage or higher security with my saved fingerprint.

There's absolutely no reason for it to be ever supported.
There's an old, but fairly comprehensive, consumer report article from 2011 that concludes: "When Recursion’s security experts tested 10 types of shields and wallets currently being sold to protect contactless cards, they found that none blocked the signal completely, and there was dramatic variability even among samples of the same brand."

I don't know if the situation has improved much since then.

Minor nitpick, it took me way too long to figure out which UW this is.
Yes, but often you can't fix the poor design because your app is part of a bigger system that you can't fully control. In that case a FAQ might be helpful.

(Also, unfortunately, the importance of good documentation is often overlooked nowadays. People keep talking about intuitive experiences, but what is intuitive to one person might be puzzling to someone else. In some cases, good documentation could be an important differentiator for your product.)

Concretely, OJ Simpson should have been reimbursed for his arrest and imprisonment?

Two questions:

1. In your personal opinion.

2. Under your proposed system change.

I don't "require" that a system change be perfect, just that it be an improvement, but you can imagine that the idea of paying OJ Simpson for his arrest, imprisonment, lost lifetime earning potential, etc, would be extremely problematic to getting this change through.

I also worry that juries would feel pressure to shade the standard of guilt. "I have what might be a reasonable doubt, but he's probably guilty and I can't stand the idea of my taxes going to reimburse this scumbag, so I'll just round it up to guilty..."
I use them for all my credit/ID/etc. cards now. They should lower the maximal distance for reading so that someone has to be super close to your card to read anything. It's not 100% but for practical purposes should be sufficient (e.g. rogue RFID reader at the airport reading all passing by cards from 1m distance etc.)
Very good. I made some tests, back when I was at the university. We had a Hardware Lab with Radio-Test Equipment and RFID Readers/Writers.

I have this one:

It just works. The Signal/Noise-Ratio and amplitude of the RFID-Signal (in the casing) is just too small, to trigger a rfid response.
I found this site https://www.useronboard.com/ to be quite a useful resource for looking at the on boarding process.

You could open the slideshare links in Private/Incognito mode.
This is actually a good point.

Rather than putting your ID card or passport in a microwave (and breaking the law), you could just use an RFID-blocking wallet or passport holder.
Totally agree. Why would somebody who can code implement a service that allows you to integrate a simple view? Why would anybody pay for that? Why would you pay somebody per view? So many questions.
Typewriter sales didn't skyrocket.

If you dig back through the sources to the original quote you'll also find this further quote from the same salesperson of a typewriter company talking about their sales number:

"We’ve seen an increase because Brother left the market"

So he only said their sales went up, not the total demand for typewriters, and while he had seen some increased orders from various defense and security services, he attributed it largely to one of their biggest competitor leaving the market.

I also wonder how much the hipster movement has contributed to the increased sales in typewriters?
> they found that none blocked the signal completely

You can not block ths signal completeley. It is just the nature of radio wave that some small amplitude will get past the barrier, but you can lower the signal-amplitude so much, that the signal is worthless and a passive rfid chip will never respond.

Alas, with a very strong sender, you might get through, but that is more a theoretical possibility or for the truly paranoid.
If they did they'd have to wrap it a <blink> tag. Anything else would just be sacrilege
I used Overleaf to write my most recent paper, as it is incredibly useful for collaborating on documents. I think the coauthor was similarly impressed. I've never used Markdown (in fact this is the first I've heard of it) and always write in full Latex.

I really like Murakami's work- my favourite is 'The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle'. But I've just finished reading 'Kafka on the Shore' and came away thinking it was too much fantasy and a bit shallow. Because of his masterful style he sometimes gets away with unresolved plots and mysteries but this was just too much.

I like magical realism though. Any recommendations for other writers?
I have apps in the iOS and Mac App store, so this is a big sticking point form me. But there is one thing missing from the article, which is a discussion on why Apple wouldn't want to add a paid upgrade model to the App Store (iOS or Mac).

Some potential reasons:

- confusing to casual users who aren't used to this model, and might not expect it
- more expensive (users at this point feel entitled to free or very cheap software)
- potential for abuse (random apps will start charging for every minor update)

One way they can prevent abuse is to limit developers, and allow paid upgrades only once a year per app. That sounds like a reasonable compromise to me. I don't want the majority of iOS/Mac users to be scared off from buying apps because they think every app is going to nickel-and-dime them at every bug-fix update or minor features. Once-a-year upgrade (with an option to ignore the update if user wants to and continue using the app as-is) could solve both problems.
I think you mean safety.

Nobody is going to compromise those things any time soon.

Mycroft: An Open Source Artificial Intelligence for Everyone

It seems like there should be a way to build these in a safe way. For example, angling the ceiling of the compartment as well as where the ceiling of the building meets the compartment should offer quite a lot more safety:

http://i.imgur.com/CJbf1oq.png

You could also imagine 'sprung' walls between the compartments that prevent limbs/feet from getting squashed.

As for accessibility for disabled persons, I see no reason why a paternoster can't be switched to 'elevator mode'. You can hit a button on the wall that will stop the system when the next compartment reaches your floor, get inside with your wheelchair/baby carriage/grandpa, and push a button inside the compartment before the floor you want to get off at to do the same.

Since you're referring to the Dichter & Denker trope: that was originally about Germany having no copyright in the 18th century, so access to the works of the poets and philosophs was affordable and widespread.

So it doesn't refer to lots of poets and philosophs (Germany was probably below average) but to the wide distribution of their writing.

(my favorite anecdote from that time: Goethe, at some point, cited his own works. Since he didn't lug all that stuff around he worked from a copy he bought. Unfortunately it was an unauthorized copy containing modifications, which he didn't notice - and copied into his citation)

There is a very simple rule I use for this; not sure how accurate it is, but it works well for me.

- Protein - meat - is for repairing/building

- Carbs are for fueling

- Fats are somewhere in between. Cells membranes are basically fat and fat is also a very clean,dense and "slow" form of energy.

Based on your activity level:

- Couch potato: Eat very low carb (basically no starches, under 50g per day).

- Light activity: Eat low carb (under 100g per day).

- Moderate activity: Eat moderate carbs (under 200g per day). I am here, weight training 3 times per week, with 2-3 long walks (about an hour)

- High activity: Eat high carb (>200g per day)

- Eat between 1 and 1,5 g/protein per kilo.

- Adjust fat to achieve your desired calorie intake. For most of us, between 2.000 and 2.5000 kcals/day is a good target.

The key here is to stop demonizing carbs/fats and recognize that they have its place in our diet.

I have also observed that, regardless of your activity level, starting low-carb when you are obese is a good thing to do, but after 1-2 years, low-carbs diets go against you.

There is a significant difference between recording RAW FHD and recording RAW DCI 4K/UHD - the latter requires over 1GB/s sustained recording device which is a major engineering challenge. Only nowadays with PCIe based SSDs we finally have technology for it (baring multiple RAID SSDs used in production cameras before PCIe SSDs).

Technologically it is indeed revolutionary.
The article misses important points about the reason for the outcry on the proposed law. Many people here are fed up with the overregulating nanny state with more and more unnecessary rules imposed by inept control freaks like Andrea Nahles. She also seems to have difficulties with judging the impact of her ideas.
There are now way too many similar the her in today's politics (throughout most of the political parties in Germany).

The Kindle is a little weird to me. I have one and I've read a fair amount of books on it, but it's not as pleasant as a paper book.

Books aren't going anywhere in the foreseeable future. You can't pick up the latest bestseller on sale in the supermarket, you can't give your e-books to friends an family when you're done with it. And some simply find them easier or more pleasant to read.
There's also the capital cost of installing superchargers to take into account (which only supports your argument further).
So far I've seen developers do this, they just release it as a new app on the App Store and then you get to buy it all over again. If you don't feel like you need it you can stick to the old version you bought before until you have incentive enough to upgrade. They usually start out at a slightly lower "upgrade" price for the first month or two and then crank it up to the full price.

I realise it's really not the ideal situation but if you really need it for revenue it is possible. You can easily add a mechanism to the old version that nudges people about the upgrade.
In the future, I think it's far more likely that the US or UK will have a really horrible government, than Germany. Because the US and UK governments have been pretty good for such a long time, most people in those countries are not aware of the importance of privacy. And when the horrible government comes along, there will already be plenty of surveillance in place that it can use to tyrannize people.
