Old adage of construction, if you think "but how could this ever get wet?" you're fucked. Everything will get wet at some point, so everything has to be self drying.

The plastic film stuff has been tested pretty well for current structures. But as the insulation thickness increases there might not be big enough pressure gradient across the structure.

Concrete does not get a pass though. Here in Finland we have had bit thicker insulation for a while. Even if you don't get wood rotting, you can get mold. That ruins indoor air quality.

Why would they be concerned? Their customers are cops. Cops have decided they want Tasers, and cops do whatever they want whether you like it or not. The response to the flap is just good business; posting the reviews in the first place was simply a waste of time because no amount of public outrage is going to change what cops do. That's been about as thoroughly demonstrated over the past 24 months as any theory of basic science has in the last 500 years.
Do the other browsers support certificate pinning though?
Existence of particles depending on what frame of reference you pick sounds like whole new level of relativity.

> Largely, you probably should not either if you are trusting the AV client with the rest of your computer. Yes, it can be fucked up and break TLS, but there are a thousand other ways a privileged executable like an AV program could fuck up a lot more of your system.

You're right that antivirus software is more or less a sieve of a shield, but this doesn't really make sense.

If AV exploits are worth fixing, then so are the exploits made available by AV certificate handling.

Dostoyevsky's "Crime and Punishment" should be a compulsory read for any self-respecting criminal mastermind, if anything to stop them from saying "I will never do X and they will never catch me".
Could it be that older industries haven't "got" Facebook yet? Hell, lots of companies can barely manage their Twitter accounts, let alone pull off complex online advertising campaigns.
Abstract interpretation (esp Astree Analyzer) at top for ease of use in static analysis. Fire and forget mostly. Model checking next because you just learn specifications and certain ways of structuring code for easy analysis. Theorem proving last for where it's worth the specialist labor and long turnaround (eg kernels, compilers, SSL).

That's been my order for years. Empirical evidence supports it so far.
Can you link to something elaborating on this? This seems pretty odd to me.

What AR technology exists, and how good is it really?

I think the big thing for AR is hands-free/HUD devices. There are niche use cases for phones, but they're described as CV problems rather than AR.
Yes it would. The Marker (for visually identifying the object) and all interfaces are stored in the object it self. When you start the Reality Editor it finds automatically all objects in the same network.

The Reality Editor does not need to know a fixed API because the interface is basically a webpage that comes from the object it self. In that case you could say, the API is HTML5.

We have found a way to break down abstract standards in simple numbers:
http://openhybrid.org/how-to-connect-everything.html

And here you can read, why we will use more and more the physical world instead of the touch screen:

The Reality Editor is a digital screw driver. You only need it from time to time.
Most of the time you will operate physical things around you.
How about 1863?

"The first registered thoughts on the possibility of artificial, machine intelligence, becoming a risk to humanity stems from the late Industrial Revolution. It was Samuel Butler, in 1863, in his Darwin Among the Machines that suggested machines could eventually replace humans as the dominant agents on Earth"

There is a lot of white collar crime, vs just stuff people whine about at occupy because it is unfair, which involves breaking rules, laws, etc., but depends on not being able to be detected, identified as a crime, identified as a suspect, located, sufficiently chargeable according to a GJ or civil suit, not meeting evidentiary standard for conviction, pleading to something small, or reward outweighing risk-adjusted cost. (In decreasing order of ideal white collar crime).
Firefox does. IE will eventually and it will also ignore errors caused by user install certs when it does (no, I don't have a source on this, but I am very confident that it will).

I think the more valuable contribution is not Reality Editor, but Open Hybrid. Right now there are many crappy home automation standards, and none/few outside the home.

I've got a tough one for you. Some guys from material science lab claimed that with massive wooden structures the strength doesn't scale when size goes up. But they were unable to explain why. They just claimed that welded steel is somehow lot better for very large stuff. Have you heard about such? And why does it happen?

I'd imagine it would go other way around, as knots are typically the weak spots. And with bigger structure knots would be averaged out.
The great advantage would be for individuals to create their own designs. Right now chips are very cheap as long as you produce millions of them. If you come up with your own chip design it is very expensive to produce them. The ability to crate your own chip can make it possible for individuals to design customized machines, where the instructions would be created to solve particular problems. For example, a Lisp machine could be easily created to support exactly the instructions needed by Lisp.

How about if students stopped going to colleges?
Clearly students are being fooled into a slavery model. College + car + house and you're done for life.

At first, I think there is not point on going to college if companies/market are not willing to hire/demanding the skills you want to improve. Also, companies co-op with colleges by promoting higher salaries for certain college degree ... which the end up not paying anyways. Hence, there is no point on going to college. If you don't go, you won't have a loan to pay and colleges will be short on students. The education cost will have to come down in such situation if colleges want to survive.

This level of offense is not possible but for the fact that these "games" have access to your Facebook. If Maytag had a plausible justification to stalk people this way, they would.

Considering that games outside of Facebook are a lot less terrible (in lots of ways), this is a "Facebook needs regulation" not "ganes need regulation" problem.
Valentin's idea has a lot of interesting components to it. The ability to stitch together a few different physical interfaces ad hoc using the camera + smartphone combination is particularly brilliant. I like where his head's at: integrating a bunch of discrete IoT devices should be simple, simple, simple.

My main beef? Frankly, it's those stickers that the camera needs to recognize the device. Ugly, ugly, ugly.
The other things you described do not fit the definition of verbal abuse. Verbal abuse is negative statements directly to a person.

Your post is defending verbal abuse, which might be a legitimate argument you could make. However, don't pretend what you do to people is not verbal abuse with some mental gymnastics to convince yourself that someone talking to HR behind your back about a problem is what real verbal abuse is.
I simply don't have the upstream bandwidth necessary to back up 1TB (my estimate of essential data) offsite - it'd take months and take my ADSL line out of use for anything else.

I also have expensive power costs so running something like a Synology DS415 would cost $50 in power a year while barely using it - although that's better than older models.
Personally I don't mind paying the relatively small fees that Coursera is charging for certificates. Right now I'm paying for the courses in the Johns Hopkins "Data Science Specialization" and the Stanford Machine Learning class. Those I like the idea of having some verification for, so I can mention them on my resume or whatever with no questions.

OTOH, I'm doing a Calculus class just for my own edification, and I'm not paying for any certificate or anything on that. Not sure one is even available, but I don't need it. Same for pretty much all the maths classes I'm planning to take. I want the knowledge, don't care about paper credentials.

I haven't used Udacity or EdX yet, but what Coursera is doing now seems pretty reasonable to me.
This has absolutely no sources. And if you compare what "an anonymous developer" says he does (which may as well be made up) with what a company that spends $40,000,000 in an ad campaign does, you see how this is delusional.

I was wondering: Clearly not everything can have its own WiFi radio, it'd be expensive and pollute the spectrum.

Assuming we'll have rooms, buildings, and blocks absolutely packed with low-bandwidth radios like this; what radio standard is most promising at the moment?

I've seen some work out of Stanford (10.1109/VLSIC.2014.6858380) which looks interesting, but I'm not sure passive radios can harvest enough energy to do auth, which is a deal-breaker.

I think having Google bundled makes it a clear winner. If Firefox can pay its developers with just the search engine bundle, and it's less popular, it would probably stand to reason that Chrome has paid off much more.

In a world where Firefox is the #1 alternative to IE and Chrome has very weak showing Firefox either asks Google for a ton more money or switches to Yahoo and Google loses a lot more market share.
Hey Valentin. I love this concept. Do you have any notions to get rid of The Marker? I can see a lot of potential applications for this where the Marker would possibly interfere with a product's visual identity.

Minor beef, however. The IoT will never take over if it isn't easy, easy, easy to use, and this has that in spades.
Presumably the difference between 'just one more' $2 microtransaction and a $1000 refrigerator is too great for this kind of psychological warfare to work via social media.
What happens is that you exchange both privacy and agency for no real return. It's a bad deal.
How would you connect two objects in physical space with your app centric interface? This is not a trivial task. Its very complex and has a lot of abstract steps. Steps you wold not be able to explain a 8 year old child in 5 minutes. We gave the Reality Editor in to the hands of a 8 year old child and we did not even need to explain how to do it. He just ran with it.
More importantly IMO, it lets you potentially get rid of dark silicon, and make open source hardware a reality.
Except that `obj.class` gets the class for the object, instead of `get(obj, "class")` or `obj["class"]`. So many little special cases in Groovy's huge grammar, which is still written in Antlr 2.x when both Antlr 3 and 4 shipped long ago.
The problem is that revocation essentially doesn't work.

What other browsers do is this:

* Connect to OCSP server

* If connection fails certificate is considered valid

At some point the Chrome devs decided that instead of having a stupid, insecure revocation check that does nothing if an attacker knows how stupid and insecure it is they could also disable it.

This could be fixed with OCSP Stapling and Muststaple, but it's still a long way till this will reasonably work.
I expected infinite-focal glasses to come up. When the ophtalmologist says we should look in the far every 15 minutes, it's because we contract our muscles too much and might cause myopia. It could be solved with lenses, but it seems I'm alone in this demographic too ;)

Since when does verbal abuse need to be made directly at a person? And don't make assumptions like "someone" talking to "HR". I'm specifically referring to situations where my boss talked shit to other employees who held the same position as myself. Negative statements? What is negative to you? Because I don't feel disrespected by some curse words or jokes. I feel disrespected when people are dishonest with me. Or when they talk shit behind my back.
For an early employee the effect on the culture may be more significant than their impact on the technical side. Technical interviews suck anyway; maybe they were going to give you a take-home technical task, or a couple of days' contract work, both much better ways of assessing technical skills.
As a former auditor, your "no legal evidence" is comically wrong. They own the people that would prosecute them.
I believe the research has value in its own right though.

I would agree though with the view that it's a bit convoluted as shown. Without even building out prototypes you might arrive at this as a V1 in an iterative thought experiment and quickly move on.

A slightly more user friendly iteration might be using image recognition to detect devices in your surroundings and build a database of them for use in a different, more suitable UI. If glass took off this data collection could be happening seamlessly with visual feedback while you are just looking at stuff. RFID tech may be a good alternative to image recognition. Ownership(authorization, authentication) sounds like a real challenge in any case. To work with minimum friction digital ownership might need to be assigned at the time of purchase.. In which case you wouldn't need image recognition OR RFID to build a database of your internet things..

Ok so then you wouldn't even need to connect your stuff together because there would be a database of stuff and everything would be able to self connect. You'd just be left with managing preferences similar to phone notifications. "Your chair would like to interface with your lights; Allow(Y/n)?".

Transferring ownership.. Lots of problems to work out.
All values greater than the mean are above average.
I don't see any problem with games or any other product spending that much on advertisement if it's beneficial for them. I don't understand what people have against targeted advertisement? So what if the advertisements are tuned for your interests. Wouldn't you rather see relevant ads, rather than the something completely irrelevant to your life? I actually wish, they had more information and were better targetted. Right now, the ads really don't have much of the right information or enough intelligence at all.

Also, since when is it to much to ask people to spend responsibly? I mean, we have licences for driving and licences for fishing. Should we also have a licence to spend? Perhaps, all these so called 'victums' you speak of, should go to the a financial therapy class and their spending should be limited by the government.

If you dont know how to spend your money, you shouldn't be allowed to have a wallet or money.

People need to be responsible for their own spending if they want to grow up and live on their own.

Thanks! The margins are pretty tight at the moment, but I still make a little. Margins would improve with more volume as I can get better bulk rates.
Thank you for a serious reply.

What troubles me more is not IoT, but the storytelling. It has been years people from this segment come out boring, meaningless videos, talks, articles usually feature microwave, doors, windows. Steve Jobs sold iPhone with 3 functions in hours. Yet after billions spent and thousands of smart minds working for years, we still have this?

I'm not sure if IoT has potential in long term. The most important thing about internet is it connects people, minds, creativity, imagination and consumers' pockets. I think as an industry we have too many more important and meaningful works to do, directly with people. I'm willing to bet that a well thought, carefully made video on youtube will make more positive impact on environment that the whole IoT segment combined today. If so, why bother?

If IoT really has potential, at this point it's very badly executed.

This post is a bit rambly and doesn't make its case particularly well.

I think the case is better made implicitly by reviews of games like Game of War: Fire Age. They are designed to be addictive and get players to spend literally thousands of pounds (or dollars) on microtransactions. They have ruined lives.

Particular attention should be paid to games which advertise microtransactions to children.

The article also notes that this kind of wood is "fire resistant." It also says that, "But the road to approve CLT as a sound building material in the US has been arduous, with engineers and architects working to prove that it complies with codes and is resistant to fire and seismic events." Despite that, though, it still seems like fire is a threat. Is there something I'm missing? Are the other materials in the buildings sufficiently fire-retardant to make the issue a small or unimportant one?
because customer engagement in paramount in gaming - it's about attracting whales and getting them to stick with your games / app platform. you want your whales to be playing the game multiple times per day and buying stuff almost daily. that benefits from constant reinforcement advertising.

in comparison, even the most engagement demanding 'traditional companies' don't need that same level of saturation / customer understanding - if you buy a home appliance, you will buy another in (say) 5 years.

> "We need to reign this stuff in. Its not just psychological warfare, but warfare where you, the customer, are woefully outgunned, and losing. Some people are losing catastrophically."

I strongly disagree with this statement. I am very aware of the psychology behind marketing and advertising, and anyone with half an interest in it has probably read Vance Packard's The Hidden Persuaders, which was released, oh, 58 years ago. People know what pushes their buttons, too, and we have a name for it: interest. Not "manipulation". Certainly not "psychological warfare".

Marketing and advertising might seem to be refined in this dopamine-heavy, short-attention-span social gaming age, but this shit has been around as long as humanity itself has existed. Some people have better impulse control than others; it's not the state's job to regulate the impulses of their populaces, or regulate systems that know how to manipulate them. It's a slippery slope that would take down the entirety of marketing and advertising as an industry, an industry which is pretty much necessary for the vast majority of the citizenry to even know what is out there to purchase.

Furthermore, how would one even decide where the line between manipulative consumption and social signaling is? Some people want to own all the capital ships; they have some social hierarchy in some subculture standing upon it. Should I regulate that, too, and force them to have the same consumption values and preferences that I do? Should we take this a step further and ban all vices? Let's see how fast American society would fall apart if we banned alcohol again.

FWIW, I hate consumerism and advertising. I block ads everywhere, I hate big branded items, I don't know the last time I bought something from an ad. Just because I feel this way, I don't go around trying to violently force that opinion upon others by begging the state to do it for me.
