ThinApp is really about packaging existing Windows desktop apps with the appropriate OS bits that the application needs. Then you can run that "thinapped app" on a different version of Windows or from a USB drive. Considered app level virtualization. #1 use case was to run IE6 based apps on newer Windows OS.
A drop in the bucket. I'm assuming there's some legal or other reason why they can't charge more.

I also find it funny how Google is trying to take the stance of "freedom of expression". What a joke.

It's far more expensive to take a taxi/uber or to leave near bars than it is to take public transit home. Those are not realistic options for everyone.

Freedom to filter? "Freedom to deface a work of art" is more like it.

A work of art is an artist trying to tell you something. Chopping out bits based on your petty personal prejudices is like going through the Louvre and drawing clothes on all the nudes with a Sharpie. Even if you're the only one who ever has to see the defaced version -- and you can't tell me that your "freedom to filter" won't eventually start being forced down the throats of other people, like children in schools -- who gave you the right to make the decision on the artist's behalf that the defaced version doesn't compromise their work?

If you don't like art, you have always had the only freedom that matters, which is to choose not to look at it. You can live in your bubble and never risk offense if you want to; you just have to be willing to have the courage of your convictions and forgo the things you oppose. "Filtering" is just a way to try and have it both ways, to have your cake and eat it too. It's every bit as venal and cowardly today as it was when Thomas Bowdler (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Bowdler) was doing it in the 19th century.

Art is what it is. If you don't like it, don't pollute it by trying to "fix" it; leave it alone and maybe try making some of your own that meets your standards.

Let's assume that each of us knows what we are talking about.

Yes, the actual key itself is located by the car based on Low Frequency RFID.

The attack described is a relay attack, which means that the key can be spoofed in real time by relaying short range radio transmissions to two locations.

The mistaken assumption of the security system is that the short range communication protocol used by the car and the key requires the key to be in close proximity to the car.

Since the communication may be relayed, the range assumption is invalid. The main suggestion is to use high precision timing to determine the range, as it is very difficult to cheat on the speed of light.

I agree that "signal strength" is not the best way to phrase the above in a technical discussion.

I have not seen any indication that triangulation or any other physical location system is used in vehicle PKES.
You still have to decide who to trust, but having a collection of many independent parties verifying a package can be a useful signal even if you don't have anyone directly in your trust chain. It makes it a lot harder for rogue releases to go unnoticed.

The name of the function, though, isn’t `isPositiveSafeInteger`; it matches `Number.isInteger` instead.

Or maybe you don’t just want safe integers, maybe you want `x >>> 0 === x`, or `x > 0 && (x | 0) === x`, or…. This is what I meant about JavaScript being confused about the definition of “integer”.

But why not be able to scale to full-on project management? It could be made pluggable.)

Costs are a major part of the problem. US rail construction costs are by far the most expensive in the world [1]. Other countries are able to build rail at costs in the $100-250 million per km range (even in dense cities). The East Side access project in NYC has costs around $4 billion per km. Los Angeles has much better costs in the $400-500 million per km range [2]. Its hard to imagine the US will be able to build much transit at those costs.

From 2012[3]: "When asked by transit blogger Benjamin Kabak about its high construction costs, Michael Horodniceanu, president of the New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s capital construction division, gave a two-word answer: “work rules.” Citing the example of the city’s revered sandhogs, he said the MTA employs 25 for tunnel-boring machine work that Spain does with nine."

No that IS what the BSDL allows for. I wasn't arguing that they shouldn't have made a commercial product on BSDL code. That also was within their rights using said BSDL code. It's just my opinion that to do that, then release your proprietary "bits" under the GPL or variation thereof with more restrictions than what you started with instead of the same BSDL you used to start your business is a dickheaded douche nozzle thing to do. But again they are free to do that, it's within their rights! Just don't be shocked when people like me call you out for what you are. Keep on rocking Citus! Stay classy.

Might not have been measurable, and might just cost an extra engineer without really harming anything.

If they had gone 64-bit-only, I'd be much more in agreement with you. But if you're still supporting a 32 bit platform, you have a lot of restrictions put on you, and the marginal cost of keeping support for a second 32 bit platform is not a big deal.

I number of years back, we were looking for a new activity tracking system at the company where it worked. (Meetings, papers, etc.) One of the things that became very obvious was that the decision was going to end up being very influenced by things like the nature of the activities, the degree to which it was important to track progress in an ongoing project, and what were the important attributes to record.

We actually ended up repurposing a bug tracking system (trac) because the price was right and it mostly fitted what we were trying to do. But a number of well-regarded project rtacking systems just didn't click with our needs.
That's because you're comparing only the cost paid directly by the passenger. Not the total cost of operating a train line that gets heavily subsidized by tax payers.

Mass transit makes a lot of sense. It can even be profitable when you have a lot of people going in the same direction at the same time.
But whenever you're on a really empty bus or train - someone else is footing the bill for your very expensive ride home.

Are you not using semver? A common mistake I've seen is to depend on the "*" or "latest" version of a package, which obviously will break when the package releases a major update.

Also, applications should use shrinkwraps to pin their dependency versions to versions they've been tested with.

What is being censored, and how is it being censored?
For low risk medical devices, startups can use a FDA 510(k) [0] to get approval if the device has a comparable (predicate) device already approved. This is how some startups get devices approved with relatively little red tape from the FDA.

It's pathetic here. Where I live, in the suburbs, there are people who rely on public transportation, but I honesly don't know how they pull it off. I tried it, at different points in my life, and it takes all day to do simple tasks. Right now I'm without a car due to emission failure, on a perfectly running, stoichiometric 14:7 to 1, four banger small car, and I'm stuck. I need to get my vechicle going today.

For myself, I use a car, and a bike every day. I drive my vehicle into the city, and park where I legally can. It seems like it's shrinking monthly? I then take my bike out and peddle to a job I detest. A job site that changes monthly.

I don't have an answer, but bicyclists should be given some perks. One--don't require a motorized vehicle as a job requirement, unless the job requires driving. I've seen too many employers slip that one in casually. It's usually some guy exploiting the minimum wage.

Two--If your riding a bike to work, lay off the strict dress code. A little?

Three--Give the bicyclist a credit on their taxes, if they don't have any motorized vechicle. (Guys like me wouldn't qualify. I'm not giving up my driving privilege until they pry the wheel from my cold, dead hand.)

If the messages were going to the Candy Crush community i couldn't care less, as they'd at least then be pushing the messages to people interested in that game. Of course that would completely destroy a community with the volume they push.

I'd not mind an ask from guild or MMO community to help out, or even talk about build advice or whatever - if it's a game I played, and I'm in the community I care at least a bit. Asking for help in WoW when I'm in Lotro or vice versa isn't anything other than spam.

It's the same as auto-ding plugins - they're damn annoying unless you're 11. I don't care that you level++, please don't tell me.
