If you're looking for a better option, Homeboy is a very nicely done battery powered smart camera that only records when there is motion.

It only activates when you are not home, which it can tell if you install its app on your cell phone.

I haven't looked for back doors but they are in Australia and they seem not very sketchy at all.

hushmail.com is on that list, this is an increased privacy email with built-in PGP and encryption support, and it's a paid service this is hardly a throwaway email, funny enough their alias domains (e.g. nym.hush.com) aren't on that list, if any one will use it as a throwaway email (i do) they'll use the alias function and delete or suspended the alias after the signup (that's what i do, if i need to reset a password i recreate the alias).
That list seem also to contain ISP's from eastern Europe and Asia so I would go over that list very carefully before implementing it because it might break your site.
>If you enjoy something, does it matter how many or how few feel the same?

It can be a sign of how original your thoughts are and whether you were just conditioned to enjoy that something, plus whether there's a huge universe of other things there (even more enjoyful and/or benefitional) that you were not told about as you just go with the flow of other people/fashion/etc.
Mental illness aside - he accomplished something that I can only dream of. I'm sure if I sat down, quit my job, and read hundreds of tutorials I could come out with some sort of OS. I'm not a fan of the whole religious aspect - but the core of the project is pretty amazing I think.

Seems a little over-dramatic.

Remember the GM switch story? Also had active deception for over a decade & and worse people actually died (169) as a result. That cost them just over a billion.

Even if the American regulator wants to make an example of them I doubt it'll exceed 10bn. As for jail: I doubt anyone will end up in jail let alone "many" of their executives.
This is not an article about VCs. It's an article about rookie mistakes.

1. Employers expect the first pushback. Afterwards it becomes annoying. Yes companies are cheap and they suck.

2. Not enough leverage.

3. I've tried going over the recruiter before. That just annoys the recruiter. It depends on the company.

4. Can you imagine sending a 4th message to a woman on OkCupid or Match.com. "We are a good fit. You just need to see the bigger picture."

Going to link this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=km2Hd_xgo9Q

The important quote is they should like you more each time.
HUD was a big announcement back then. I don't know how many people that use Unity know about it now, but it is not that esoteric.

You are downvoted because of how your comment sounds and the false "the comment will be removed".
Doesn't sound like a terrible outcome to me.

If you really can't live for whatever amount of money is on offer, there's not much choice but to pass. The negotiation didn't take long either.

It sounds like the company wanted to pick up someone, but they didn't think that it was terribly important to get this particular candidate. And they knew there were a lot of MBAs wanting this kind of role, so they decided to low ball it and someone would come. This is a perennial problem for people coming out of education: there's a lot of people just like you, with the same skills and ambitions.

The problem as a newcomer is you are asked to take a paycut to "prove yourself". By paycut I mean that you can probably come close to the productivity of someone slightly more senior quite fast, but there's the market working against you: there's plenty of people with no experience other than a degree, and some of those are going to turn out to be numpties. So the hiring firm can pay less because there's supply, and they want to pay less, because having the wrong person can be worse than having nobody.
I think there will be many solutions to this issue. Right now, we're guinea pigs with devices.
If someone were going to be hurt by the language, I would warn them before making introductions. I wouldn't want someone thinking I actually wanted them hurt for no good reason and agreed that they deserved to be hurt. At least I guess...

I probably wouldn't have someone with tourettes making welcoming speech to a group of people who were not aware and whom I really didn't know much about. It's all a bit hypothetical though.
Personally I find comments like yours far uglier than most of what Terry posts, because his posts tends to be incoherent and obviously disturbed rants that few people are likely to take seriously, and so their ability to hurt is likely quite limited. Particularly, of course, since on here you need "showdead" on to even see them.

Yours on the other hand is condemning behaviour that you yourself appear to accept to be the effects of mental illness and may not be deliberate. And you're doing it to a much larger audience than Terry's banned comments gets.

To me, your comment is a bit like standing up in a crowd, pointing at a mentally ill person and telling us his behaviour is utterly unacceptable before said person has even uttered a word.

It is UGLY.
A counter example:

How many people aside from specialists use the browser as their main "app"?

How many people use webmail, search and read info, use facebook/twitter, order stuff, use online map, look at internet junk?

The browser is the number one app on desktop without a doubt. The flexibility it offers is nothing short of incredible. You can cite specialist apps all you like, it doesn't change the fact that those apps are a niche right now on the desktop.
The Intern: A CEO's review
Not all states have these kinds of programs already running. And even if all states interests are aligned, that still leaves the people demanding change. Does democracy have no chance in this instance?

Remember that this is not the first time that mass surveillance programs have been defeated. East Germany might be a good example. Of course it's different - but also it's the same. I hope we don't need to go further down the Orwellian rabbit hole before we realize the problems and stand up to fight them.

How about density, porosity, resistivity, and so on? I saw some LWD tools that used different sonic-based techniques, nuclear sources, and others for formation evaluation. I'm thinking of the PeriScope, EcoScope from LWD, and the TeleScope from MWD. The point-the-bit tech in the Xceed is also amazing!

I didn't get to read up on the details, as they prevented interns from accessing technical documents, but from what I saw some of the sensors were quite advanced. Granted, I don't have that much exposure to state of the art sensor tech, so I could be wrong.
Also, the main assumption is that the consumer have been duped. Most of the people that I know that buy VW car ( which is a lot of them considering it is one of the most popular brand where I come from ) do it for reliability, consumption, price. i.e. running cost of the vehicule. The rest is also interested by performance, look, ...

Pollution is only important because tax level of the car is directly related to the emission of the car. IMO that is highly unlikely that government will take action against car owner like retroactive taxation, so as far as customers are concerned, nothing has changed.

As an illustration, I remember as a kid when VW turbo diesel became really performant. Since Diesel is much cheaper, diesel car became really popular. People were claiming that they did it for the environment as at the time, diesel was thought to be cleaner. A decade or more later, diesel was recognised as being more polluting but that did not change at all the diesel use in the country at all. ( Let's be realistic for a moment - Prius type car are popular but they would have stormed the market if pollution was a top concern for people. Instead, we got SUV taking the European market by storm - SUV !!! )

So yeah that will be rough time for VW, but the analysis in the document does not seem realistic at all.

He said it himself - it took years of prep work to get that job offer. Why did it take so long? Because there is a strong desire to get into the industry, lots of potential candidates, and he didn't seem to have any connections that would get him an easy foot in the door. Plus zero experience in that role other than internships.

In his situation, I would have just taken the offer and cranked for a year, then demanded more money. And if they refused, it should be far easier to find a new job with actual experience. A year of being frugal isn't that bad for entry into your dream career.
> Also, the main assumption is that the consumer have been duped.

That main assumption is correct. When your car resale value tanks and you'll have to sell your car at a massive loss, you've been duped. When you've paid a massive premium for a more rapidly depreciating asset due to willfully deceptive marketing, you've been duped. When you can't re-register your car because it doesn't comply with emission standards in your state and you lose your economic livelihood, you've been duped.

Let's say a startup is successful as a private business, but doesn't want to be acquired (because they believe so much in the mission and think an acquirer will ruin that). Furthermore there's also relatively little chance they are going to IPO.

For that matter, how do the investors get paid?

Why allow them if you think they probably are more trouble than they are worth? (no way to contact them if there are payment issues, easier to take-over accounts, ...)

IMHO it really depends on the kind of service if this makes sense or not.
As long as your steps are implications in the reverse direction (from the later to the earlier statement) this is perfectly correct. In most cases I've seen people do that the transformations are actually equivalences, which muddies the waters somewhat.

What is a problem is when people do use reverse-implications that are not equivalences, arrive at something false, and claim that the original equation is false.
Russian Ministry Proposes Correctional Labor for Bitcoin Crimes
I think they forgot rate limits. One of implementations were done using two actual routers and routing between those back and forth. Which means that it's really easy target to overload. I would have personally written light python script to fake it, instead of using hardware routers.

It seems that pinging under 100 Kbit/s rate is enough to take it out of service, which is very little traffic. I would have liked to load test them up to double digit Gbit/s rate, but. This is disappointing. No challenge at all, single IP, no rate limits and poor capacity.
No, it's a label, and a useless one at that.

Everyone is likely to have a mix of niche and mainstream interests, when they stop concerning themselves with fitting into a narrow vision of who they are.

Can you still be a non-conformist if you have similar interests to the mainstream?
You're saying that only some of them were equipped with defeat devices? They were all equipped to mislead the public and deceive regulators, giving their cars an edge as a premium car with better handling, more reliability and gas economy. Most people compare multiple cars before making a decision, and the faked stats are clear grounds for adverse action against VW. I certainly wouldn't want to be stuck with a VW now.
A late update on this subthread (I wrote the GP): I found your comment very insightful when I first read it. That the VCS applies a series of patches that are essentially standalone to the initial blank state is something that gets obscured when you use GitHub and similar tools. (And GitHub is a big influence — for me it's a major reason for using Git a lot more than, say, Mercurial or Fossil.) I have since given the matter more thought and have adopted the imperative mood subject line style for a new project I started.

As for "addressing the system", I have decided for now to not do it at all in my subject lines to avoid the confusion.
How to Photograph the Supermoon Total Lunar Eclipse
The weird part of this is that if you accept higher NOx emission, you can cut fuel usage by ~20%. Since matter does not disappear, this also has to cut CO2 emissions by similar amount.

CO2 has global warming potential for at least hundred year scale. NOx has chemical half life of decade or two.

WHO isn't really sure how much NOx you have to emit before it's dangerous. Heating is however more culpable right now than vehicles.

I can't decide if Volkswagen is shitty thief or hero. It seems to be that the NOx fuss might be overblown and the costs in CO2 emissions could be far worse. Or not. Could someone enlighten me?

Would love to see it, how can I encourage you to?
You overestimate the damage. First, it only affects diesel engines.

Second, I'm not sure that 25% of the sticker price is an adequate compensation. After all what needs to be done is these cars need to be permanently reprogrammed, and as you say it means power reduction and worse fuel economy. But by how much? It has been a few years now that we (as customers) have to deal with the common industry practice of advertising unrealistic fuel consumption statistics, so I'd say to some extent more car-makers are similarly boned here.

Third, Volkswagen is a group, and owns quite a lot of brands: Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, SEAT, Škoda, Volkswagen, Ducati, MAN, Scania, Neoplan and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.

Fourth, it is common that such investigations go on for years without end. Microsoft f.eg. did not pay a single penny for the IE antitrust case.
Mobile Web Is Top of Funnel, Mobile App Is Bottom of Funnel

I remember reading articles like this a decade ago saying that transistors couldn't get any smaller because they were already the size of visible light. We've since switched to UV light per this article, and there's still much shorter wavelengths available. The size of the atoms that make up the wafer itself could be a potential problem too, but there's other materials we can switch to that are less susceptible to quantum tunneling. And that's not even touching true 3D chip design (right now it's a pile of layers that is essentially 2D).

Point being, there's many billions of dollars in revenue here at stake, and chip companies are doing their damnedest to solve these problems. They've solved every challenge so far, and there's no real reason that these latest challenges are fundamentally unconquerable in ways that the previous ones were not. An article highlighting the current challenges is useful, but one positing that they can't be overcome is sensationalist.
I didn't realize that that Peter Seibel (author of Practical Common Lisp) worked at Twitter. Neat.
