The fact that the NSA has implants (from the various Snowden files) that do exactly this and exfiltrate over a network should tell us that this is not so far fetched. The bulk of the data volume is only used when the capability is being exploited. It would not be so hard to send out marker of exploitability over innocuous traffic (say tweaking an HTTP header) meant to be picked up by sniffing / MotS.

Historians call this "living memory", either direct witness of events up to 105 years ago, or had talked to a direct winess of events, up to 200 years ago. anything more indirect is oral or recorded history.

For example I am old enough to have seen the last living Civil War veterans and slaves talk about their experiences.

Ive read we tend tomonly know our ancestors up to the living history limit, an no further, unless s/he was a very notable person. We might have heard our grandparents stories about their grandparents.

Republican Rome held a living history party called The Jubilee. A new Jubilee was held when last person who remembered the previous Jubilee died. (It gradually got debased to celebration of a leader who ruled for a long time.)

Only two ladies are alive from the 1800s, but dont remember it.
True, but collecting it isn't (unless it was all in one place, which I doubt). And taking it out of the firm isn't (unless they have zero security).

Well, the thing is, you'd never want the government to make purchasing decisions entirely on price, so what is it that makes the best deal? Price, quality, timeliness of delivery, these are pretty easy to pick out as parts of "the best deal".

These days it wouldn't be a stretch to add "better for the environment" along the lines of "what is the best deal," since that is also a decision that affects everyone in the community, whether the company you hire pollutes more or less. Favoring contractors that pollute less seems uncontroversial.

Adding "addresses systemic racism that we have in the past committed and that has hurt a part of our community (who are also taxpayers, just like everyone else)" also seems pretty uncontroversial--unless you don't think racism exists or should be addressed.

To me it always feels like they devs admit they failed the day they start to include code generators into their frameworks.

People always make this claim, but the differentiating features are extraordinarily difficult to find. Nobody has heard of RouteHappy. There is no easy transparency of information required to draw conclusions about a free market acting in a certain way.

It's only when I go directly to carriers like Air France or Lufthansa that they specifically flag - for example - flights on an A380, which I am absolutely willing to pay a bit more for.

If a secure boot chain makes you feel nice and fuzzy inside, then perhaps you might be interested in setting up your own. Without the ability to do so, you are boned if the trusted entity becomes untrustworthy (such as if the mfg was to be acquired).

If you alone are the trustworthy entity, things work better.

ah, self driving cars posing as uber rides?
Wow, this is certainly something to think about in the age of the IoT's.

I guess the question should be asked as to where the line is between when a user should and shouldn't expect a device to work. Especially in the coming age of drivers less cars.

I can easily see a case where each driver-less car will need to talk to a mother-ship if for no other reason than syncing with other cars around it, getting new GPS maps, etc.

I think most people would be rightly disappointed if their car was suddenly bricked and unable to work due to the car's manufacturer end of lifeing their car.

Where is the line between bricking a $300 device and a $30,000 device?

The only close analogy that quickly comes to mind is video games. Most now require online servers to play, or at least get the most out of them. Some companies like ID software have been good about releasing the required code to keep their games online long after they no longer want to support them, others companies have been, ummm, less willing or able to do so.

Agree, I think the tone of this piece is really interesting. It's sadness, laced with evangelism; a hope that the new acquirers will recognise what makes Virgin great, and absorb those qualities rather than replace them. But mostly sadness. Not what you would necessarily expect.

You are probably overestimating the jerk from that. 5mph has (1/12)^2 = 1/144th the energy of 60mph. Passengers often don't pay attention to what's going on and breaking force is generally not enough to really mess with people.

That said, the default is not going to be stopping within 1-2 inches of pedestrians, rather it's going to gradually slow down to deal with pedestrians while trying to maintain forward progress. The point is a self driving car could be more aggressive than most people while staying safe instead of freaking out and just stopping because people are jaywalking.
This week I purchased a new Dell XPS 13 9350 and installed Arch. The process of installing and getting a working OS with WiFi, screen brightness adjustment, media keys, Gnome 3, touch screen, and trackpad gestures took around 3 hours. It was as simple as repartitioning, pacstrapping, installing Xorg/Gnome and following the steps on the wiki.

Well, that manufacturer just has to fulfill these $500 originals then they can turn around and spit out a $150 version.
>> elsewhere you twisted it to not only somehow claim that these people aren't "normal", but also that people who buy a more expensive car are wrong and shouldn't be doing it anyways

Um, just wow. I find it hilarious that you seem incapable of understanding you are talking about new cars while dionidium is talking about used cars.

And then you go off the rails with some strange conspiracy theory about dionidium labeling people as not normal and that people buying luxury cards as wrong when no such thing happened.

I think you should apply your words to yourself and reflect a bit.
Using just dead reckoning you would pretty quickly have issues with accumulated error.
EVs may end up coinciding with the rise of automated cars, which may give rise to a large portion of people accessing vehicles on-demand (and not owning them). It that bcomes true, it's very possible that the world very much won't need even one EV per person...

How much is "economically useful or available" lithium is interesting as what makes sense to access now with current technologies changes as demand increases. More expensive techniques get pioneered and then the access cost drops for the technique as it gets optimized - much like the recent fracking boom.
And here's another reason not to buy any Nest devices now that they're owned by Google. How long until Nest itself gets shut down?

To me, it seems like a more expensive version.
Not pirating since one has no indication if or what type of ad-tech is being used a site. It just takes one click to end up with malicious code or a UX headache. The website owner is responsible and does not even require an email from users (more wasted time) since the data will already show what's happening. If the site owner is too dense to comprehend the issue or importance of UX, then c'est la vie.
I am not pitching here, just curious about how and where others have found their cofounders.
I only really care about the tech-stack of a side project if it's an open-source thing or purely an educational project for myself. If I'm doing it for profit, I'll build it quick and dirty in whatever technology lets me move the quickest.

For for-profit projects I usually give them a time-limit and a hard budget. For example: I'll put a max of 40 hours and $2,000 into project XYZ. If I hit either limit without turning a profit (or at least seeing some return on my investment), I'll move on to the next thing.

I've found that the trick to side projects is to keep moving until you find one with product-market-fit. Don't let yourself get bogged down trying to make a mediocre idea into a real business. In my experience, when you hit something good, the market will let you know immediately, so just keep testing ideas into you strike oil.
Hi! I'm Peter, creator of the tool. Let me know if you have any feedback, or any possible use cases for it by posting below or emailing me at peter@wrapapi.com

I've done a lot of reverse-engineering of websites and thought a lot of the work could be made more generic. WrapAPI is an attempt to generalize a lot of the work needed to simulate actions on websites.

There are basically 4 steps:

1. Capture sample requests to serve as a reference - this is similar to how one might use the Chrome Developer Tools or a packet sniffer to capture sample requests to the app

2. Specify inputs - parametrize the inputs so that you can switch out arguments passed to the webpage

3. Extract outputs - we have Kimono-like visual tools to select the outputs from the webpage via CSS, JSON, and Regexp selectors

4. Test it out - try it to ensure everything's working

In addition, we want users to be able to share and publish the work, so we've added that too.

As counter-proof I would submit my college students (mostly 18-22) who I see struggling with simple technology. Yes some of them are very tech savvy but I am amazed at how few actually are.
True, but why don't more tech companies follow Amazon's lead of tempering shareholder expectations? Is Amazon somehow unique in being able to do this?
No. Is that what you want me to be saying so that you can tell me I have no idea what I'm talking about? :-P

Let me make a few assertions:

- The greatest benefits from a rise in minimum wage will go to those with the lowest cost of living.

- Living in an urban area (dollar for dollar) is more expensive than living in a non-urban area.

- Most minimum wage jobs exist in cities (according to Pew Research):
http://www.pewresearch.org/files/2014/09/FT_14.09.08_Minimum...

- To work in a city, it has become increasingly beneficial to live in close proximity or inside a city.

Therefore, an increase in minimum wage, while certainly helpful, is going to have less of an impact than one would hope, simply because those who work minimum wage jobs have a higher cost of living by needing to be close to cities in order to work those same jobs.

If I was still writing desktop software, I would have no problem with my software being pirated. I'd make it difficult enough for it not be worth the effort for anyone who can afford it, but I know that there's plenty of others who might not be able to afford my software, who are willing to spend the time instead cracking the software. Some kid out there might be building a future career on cracked versions of my software. Ideally they might someday be able to afford it and pay for it. That was certainly the case for me.

With the movie and music industry, they went the other way. They made it difficult to buy their products and a lot easier to pirate. And now they're the ones paying for it.
Wealth is tremendously concentrated into just a few countries, yes. Those countries consider that concentration a strength, because it allows them to do things that countries with a lower concentration of wealth cannot even contemplate.

By what definition can it be considered a weakness?
I urge you to compare the Q4 2015 -- Q1 2016 SPX chart and Q3-Q4 2011 SPX chart. 2011 experienced a similar sharp drop to recovery that we're going through right now that had a similar drop in IPOs.
In the US he would have broken many laws doing just that, as that kind of behaviors causes depressions. I have no idea what Russian laws are on the topic.

If people discover he is doing something like that it would cause a drop in the stock market, it is extremely risky behavior.

Ha - imagine a bank robbery escaping in a driverless car, only to have the manufacturer brick it during their daring escape.
""The Coolest Cooler in that video was a one-of a kind prototype," Grepper said. "Ultimately it's not a scalable design – it's an industrial design."

The proof-of-concept prototype cost him $15,000 to make, he said."

"[After Amazon approached us] we recognized that every Coolest cost more than each backer had given us for the manufacturing process,"

Incredible.
At a glance:

SpiderOak offers encrypted backups. This is a good thing. It doesn't specify how it's stored on their end (presumably because it doesn't matter to the end user). So that's an unknown.

Bytejail offers encrypted anonymous backups (via Tor Hidden Service) and uses a TahoeLAFS backend. My understanding of TahoeLAFS is that it's excellent. So if you're security-conscious, Bytejail would seem like a better choice.

(I'm not familiar enough with SpiderOak to comment on their offering in detail; I can only really go off the page you linked.)

Ah. Now we see the end of the beginning of the age of IoT.

I have consistently complained that these companies are completely deficient in requiring some cloud service (read: other peoples' servers). And guess why I had those issues? Because they offload all processing to these machines to retain control of them.

I am not against companies trying to make a buck. Instead of tying your service that will explode, support open standards like MQTT, CoAP, and AMQP. Doing anything less shows to me that your business is a house of cards.

I suppose I see commit history more interesting as works of art and archeology. Code history will be read more often than it will likely ever be interacted with. Like the scuffs in the marble, the fingerprints and brush strokes and little hairs in watercolor and oil painting, there can be beauty in the little flaws.

I've had it put to me that an Architect deals solely with the art of a project and a Scientist deals solely with the science and theory; it's the work of an Engineer to deal in the practical middle where art meets science (meets the real world).

Sometimes it is easy to overlook (or to want to overlook) the little bits of humanity in the machine; the various sorts of creative chaos in the vast ordered systems; the parts of the code that are art.

There's no easy answers to much of this thread, because it is art, it is aesthetics. There's no "right" answer, just "this looks good and pleasing to me and my team" and working to find that practical Engineering border space between the unwavering art of the Architect and the similarly unwavering logic and discipline of the Scientist.
I hope you plan to have an API or release datasets, as this kind of data would be very appreciated by researchers working on news information retrieval and processing.

The major issue with tax avoidance schemes is the effect on competition. It's kind of like the prisoner's dilemma.

If no-one uses them, great.

If everyone uses them, you have a lower effective tax rate and different policy outcomes to the ones expected, so there might be distortions.

If others use them but you don't, you're at a competitive disadvantage.

An analogy for the everyman - imagine that there's a loophole me and everyone else in my city could use as individuals to completely avoid tax. If I choose not to do so, I'm receiving, say, 20-30% less income than I would annually, putting me at a huge disadvantage when performing normal activities such as buying a home, say.

I don't think that tax avoidance is immoral, I do think it should be fixed because of the distortion (favouring large businesses, which already generally have advantages due to scale).

It's a bit like how one can be a marxist whilst also choosing to own private property. You can't exist without mimicing society to some extent.
Thanks. I remember a blog post that coined a term "virtualized container", but cannot find the link right now.

I wouldn't use the word VM, as it reminds us of the heavy full-blown images. It is probably more misleading to say that HyperContainer launches your Docker image in VMs. But you are right, it is still new and requires efforts to get people understand.

They transmit on multiple frequencies. The signals on every frequency will have its own phase offset between the sender and receiver. Think of it as constructive / destructive interference patterns which varies across space, except they have a method where they measure across time multiple times.

At certain multiples of a distance, with synchronized clocks, you'll have offset X between channel Y and Z (on channel Y you may be perfectly phase synchronized, but Z is half the phase off).

Measuring the offsets for multiple sets of frequencies allows you to calculate multiple sets of possible distances, to then figure out which exact distance it is that repeats among all of the calculated distance multiples (like 1, 2, 3; 0.5, 2, 4; 1.5, 2, 3 - the number 2 occurs everywhere).

If for example you're perfectly in phase on 10 frequencies, the distance between you must be a must be a specific shared multiple of the wavelengths of all the frequencies. Least common denominator.
To your 1): there would indeed be network traffic, but how many people have a machine they can truly trust capturing and analysing enough of the traffic going in and out of their LAN? Unfortunately there are few, if any, machines we can truly trust.
There are even more implementations than the ones you mentioned. http://temlib.org/site/?page_id=14 and then http://apple-core.info/outcomes.html , schematic overview http://www.date-conference.com/files/file/date11/ubooth/157.... , necessary toolchain http://sp.utia.cz/index.php?ids=results&id=applecore . Apart from that, i'm thinking something like OpenFirmware should be mandatory for every Vendor, because without MANDATING it, there is no incentive, to abstain from proprietary shit, which locks the customers to it. There is no escaping it. Except to quit.
