I really want to be on the authors' side here, but both posted very vague "new api is coming, stuff won't work". Where are at least the links to bugzilla where they request appropriate bits in extensions API to be implemented? This seems very short: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?component=WebExtens...

For all the outrage about extensions not working in the future, I've not seen one blog post about a proposed api which they need and which was rejected.

I assumed that the "gigantic touchscreen" referred to in your comment is the 17" monster on the right. The Model X hasn't shipped yet, so I don't know if that photo is the final configuration.

If it is, and by "gigantic" you meant "The small, 2 inch touchscreens on the steering wheel which might be as easy to use as physical controls", then sure, we could talk about that. Seems premature right now, when the public can't try it out.
That's the context that the post doesn't mention. (They don't say anything about Google at all, even.)

I had the same question.

It seems like Nitrogen Oxide output increases as the fuel combustion temperature increases. So when you're at a cruising speed that burns fuel more efficiently, it alters the balance of waste products. Somehow.

I'll defer to anyone who claims any real knowledge about this at all, I'm just doing some motivated googling.

I was thinking of how credit card companies incorporate in Delaware because there are no restrictions on interest rates, and how other firms set up shop there because Delaware business law allows for ownership to be quite opaque, in a way that's not tolerated when other countries offer it, eg http://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21571873-how-stop-comp...

So I do think it's about 50% what you say and 50% policy.

I wonder if in large organisations it'd be better to have a single service handling password management (with split databases still). That way you could lock it down to one set of IPs, all access monitored and more importantly one password storage implementation.
I think the Ayn Rand viewpoint--that self-interest is intrinsically a moral good and that capitalism is justified by this moral good--is not very widely held as a justification for capitalism.
You don't need an anti-virus if you are only running software from trusted sources, just like in Linux.

Just that trusted sources in Windows means not installing pirated software or that thing a friend gave because it was so cool. Or going to shady internet sites.

All things that will hose a Linux system as well.

Linux package managers are nice until one needs something it isn't there, like it happens to most average users that don't care about about FOSS and forcing themselves to alternatives.

And I never saw a UNIX that would allow to prevent users to install software locally, as Windows does with Active Directory group policies. Although I bet there are some third party commercial offerings for that.

Outside Windows I only saw that in mainframes.

I'm surprised that the EFF would suggest going to the level of having companies publish their code. A huge number of manhours goes into developing the software that runs a car, and a significant amount of IP is tied up in it.

Forcing vendors to release software would allow competitors to steal it outright, and open up the entire industry to a massive set of lawsuits. I don't think that's a very beneficial outcome.

As someone who works in a technical safety auditing role, I strongly doubt that NDAs would preclude the widespread release of this software. I have a hard enough time convincing vendors that the lifecycle documentation they are already mandated by law to provide, should be provided. This is just unrealistic.

My neighbors haven't complained because I'm not doing anything particularly radical with my router. But if I started swamping their signals I imagine they would be annoyed about it. I thought this context was obvious in my post above.

The article suggests two: social norms, and aggressive enforcement against actual offenders--as in the Marriott case.

And people who disagree with our perspective thought the Marriott case was a big government shakedown. I am disinclined to rely on social norms, given that there are often substantial economic rewards for flouting them.
Somebody needs to revisit the numbers for capital costs of technology. When a new employee in 1995 cost $50,000, and their Compaq LTE-5300 Laptop, Docking station was $3000 - cost of computer was an issue (Particularly as you needed a lot of service / repair to keep it running, configured) - And you were lucky to get 2 years of service.

In 2015, a new employee costs $150,000, and their computer still costs $3000 (or less) - and now lasts at least 2 years, and in many cases, can be stretched out to three years.

In Redwood City, industrial/quasi commercial space in 2007 was going for $1.50/sq/foot - figure * 200 per employee = $3600/year for office space.

Desk, chairs, cubes, etc.. cost around $1500/employee delivered/installed (Always buy used. Add an extra $600 if you want Aeron Chairs).

I would be interested in seeing if anybody has a soup-nuts assessment for all of the office costs for an employee in 2015 in the valley.

So you're basically arguing for an Android-esque project for cars, where Samsung or Ford basically fills the device with crapware and bloat over a simple base system? I'd be fine with that, as long as there were firmware signing mechanisms in place to prevent every 16 year old with a USB cable and a penchant for speed from modding the family car. Early Android ROMs were a lesson in how not to modify things; luckily there wasn't a lot of widespread damage done with the quantity of compiled binaries of unknown origin being distributed over typical filesharing sites like Mediafire.
A random sample of each make and model of car should be periodically put through far more stringent testing than normal, in an effort to catch this kind of thing. Allowing this cheat to go undetected for so long speaks to the failure of the testing regime.

Exactly. Despite what media wants people to believe, may are sick and tired of political correctness and bending down to everyone's demands for anything. And Trump caught on to that and just throws vague remarks here and there in that direction. And desperate voters say "fuck it, he might just be crazy enough to not go back to the same line all the other presidents come back to after they are elected".

Same with Sanders. Just on the opposite side. He found a niche where he can cater to extremely politically correct liberals and minorities, who also feel misrepresented and feel that america is actually not liberal enough. He has to actually make an impression that he is listening to the voters if he wants to get any attention at all, since he is not getting that much media attention.

Both cases I think shows people are tired of lack of options. Main party candidates seem to be utterly incompetent, like Hilary, others seem to just continue what has been done before, so there's dissatisfaction and search for something to shake up the system. Trump fits it well.
This is great. Regarding the tools used to do annotations, has any thought (possibly elsewhere) been given to (a) format(s) one can easily save, modify, share etc? I.e. doesn't require a (proprietary?) server, or even something that could be integrated with a federated wiki?
> Franz LISP on Sun 2 machines for real work.

The SUN 2 was a tiny machine in comparison. 1 MB RAM, 4 MB max. 16MB virtual memory.

The Symbolics 3600 was also a 680x0 machine. ;-) It used one as its frontend processor.

That was never a part of the Symbolics operating system. Not sure where you got that from.

Which SUN never got.

Actually they did.

> SHIFT, CTL, TOP, META, SUPER, and HYPER were all shift keys, so there were 64 possible shifts for each key

There was a logical system behind it and different shift keys were used for different purposes. Not all combinations were used. It's not too different from any modern computer. My mac has command, option, control, fn, shift keys. Five. The Symbolics keyboard had shift, control, meta, super, hyper. Five.
I don't want to believe this. Had to be a 4chan raid on the polls, right?

The emissions test takes place on a dynamometer, which would result in a large number of weird things the car could test for.

Such as open doors/hood while the wheels are spinning, no acceleration or a stationary GPS signal.

The fact that cars have GPSs, make it next to impossible to design tests that can't be cheated, you would need a testing rig that could be mounted on a moving car, that didn't cause an increase of pressure on the exhaust system (cars could detect that) And then you would need to do testing on public roads, so the car didn't switch to a different mode when it's GPS showed it was on a known test track.
You are missing the point on what I said - the China study was about plant-based diets.

China study was widely critisized, and the author's own data does not support his conclusions. There was a link already in this discussion, here's one more

http://rawfoodsos.com/the-china-study/

And all of the Blue Zone diets do not include meat - I can think of the Seventh Day Adventists that were studied just as one example.

As I remember, only some of them are vegetarians, it is not a requirement.

My point was that it is very possible to be strong and super-fit. There are actually quite a number of vegan bodybuilders and athletes.

I suppose it's technically possible, just so much harder. Otherwise those elusive vegan bodybuilders would be a majority.

Just to make my point clear: I'm not saying vegetarianism is bad or unhealthy. I'm just against demonizing animal based foods for no reason.

Nah. A good president really only needs just one skill: Knowing how to hire good people.

Other than that the president himself can be just a figurehead for entertainment.

Trump clearly knows how to hire good people, so while I would not vote for him, I'm also not really worried about what will happen if he does win.

If you think about it, the skillset needed to win an election, is not the same skillset you need for making good calculated decisions.

So IMO we really should not be evaluating candidates on their personal qualifications, but rather on how good they are at hiring good people to do the real work.

Roughly, a higher combustion temperature increases combustion efficiency, but also increases NOx produced. Running lean increases the air:fuel ratio, which combusts more of the fuel at higher temperatures. On the flip side, EGR [1] is one of the primary techniques to reduce NOx at the expense of efficiency. Incidentally, it's actually somewhat common for diesel truck owners to do an EGR delete to increase fuel economy.

Are You a Micromanager?
To be honest, that is pure populism by the EFF. I am a supporter of EFF and against the DMCA. But that saying is BS.

There are many different ECUs within a car (about 40 in a current Volkswagen Golf). Does EFF really thinks that someone would have found that issue, when everything is OpenSource?

Nobody would have examined such things, because nobody would have been interested in examining it, if it would be OpenSource. We have seen such things in lots of OpenSource software, just reminding of the now legendary Debian bug in the random number generator or Heartbleed and such things. How long where those bugs present?

To find this wrongdoing by VW you don't need access to the car. Put a measuring device to the pipe and drive around.

The question: why did the engineers implemented a detection of the test environment? Because you need to. You just have to apply a little bit of thinking your self. Such a car is equipped with lots of assistants like traction control, like crash detection, and so on. In a test environment you have your car running on a dynamometer or alike. That means the car detects, that 2 wheels run at 30 mph while 2 wheels are standing still and there is no acceleration. The car now has to classify that situation. The car has to decide if the front wheels are just spinning in the mud and traction control must be applied, or is it a valid situation. So there are lots of those things you have to consider during development and which are valid use cases. Of course this should not be misused.
It might turn out to be un-enforceable, but it would take a court case to determine that.
> But the idea that code applying to the primary control functions of an automobile cannot be known (is not published and cannot legally be reverse engineered) is just a bad idea.

Why is it a bad idea? Do we know the code base of airplanes? Critical infrastructure, like power and water plants? How about military software that controls missile guidance?

The answer isn't to open source everything and let programmers sort it out. We have regulatory and safety boards specifically to counter the issues around public safety that software in critical applications causes. A huge amount of time and money is spent developing standards, and verifying and monitoring compliance with them.

Obviously these processes are not always perfect. In this case, it will be interesting to see how far the corruption necessary to include a pollution-defeat spreads. But throwing out the whole process and just publishing code in its place is not a reasonable solution. More stringent black box testing by experts could have caught this issue far sooner.

Visiting Grandparents' in summer where magically a huge Jackfruit appears for the kids to get their oil-soaked hands dirty, and pluck the bulbs from the innards, and douse them with Ghee (Clarified butter) and eat dozens of them till your stomach hurts is a passage of rite for many kids in Southern India (atleast in the 80s). And add to scorching summer heat by toasting the seeds in open fire and peel the skin of the seeds and eat even more of it, makes me long for the fruit (and the innocence).

> The people who do pay for services like Twitter & Facebook are the advertisers and business owners who have probably observed questionable ROI on average for the past few years.

Demonstrating ROI on Twitter/Facebook advertising is one of the hardest things to do for clients that don't sell their products online (e.g. breakfast cereals). It leads to backwards behaviour: because you can't prove that advertising lifted sales, you start thinking, "What promotions result in trackable performance metrics?" and do them because they're trackable, not because they're good ideas.

Why and How Educators Use GitHub
It's a bad idea because it's a departure from our historic common sense, as well as patents and copyrights. It's commonly accepted that when you buy a car you can learn how it works by poking it with a stick, and make modifications, and everyone expects that the things they modify they assume liability for and a warranty exemption. Code? Nope. You do not own that part of the car. You don't have the right to figure out how it work, or modify it, or even replace it. There's residual ownership in the form of IP, in perpetuity.

One of the major purposes of patent law was to make the entire details of an invention public so that it was possible to know exactly what monopoly was being granted, and also permit people to learn and invent something better. That doesn't happen when things are obscured like this.

And just because airplane code isn't published doesn't mean it's a good idea.
Re (1), I just tried to get a loan from Wells Fargo last week for a consulting business with a few hundred K in annual revenue, and it was an incredible pain in the ass (multiple years of balance sheets/income statements, tax returns, trips to the bank, and all for, like, 25% of one year's profit-sized loan) -- there's truly an opportunity to disrupt small business lending, but the hard part there is capital aggregation.

There isn't much that hasn't been tried before.

I would've been interested, and I don't even work in the field... Regardless, the EFF says "could", not "would". And they're right. This sort of code absolutely should have third party reviews.

Yknow, maybe because they knew they didn't have to worry about people reviewing their code.
