> "In a similar way, why are we focusing on the very difficult and slow task of upgrading all cars to EV? Why not improve the source of oil itself?"

Some people are pursuing this.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodiesel

Personally I think it's a mistake to rely on any single energy source as heavily as we have with oil, so I hope the EV car market continues to grow, but biodiesel may be better suited for some applications.
When I worked at a university, we had several pieces of legacy 32-bit software, mostly written in C, which were essential to some courses. It became more and more difficult to run them as Linux distributions stopped shipping 32-bit libraries by default (I think Scientific Linux 7.1 caused a lot of problems because of this).
I'm not thinking of any specific pathology. It's just been my experience that with templates, there is always some risk of harder to catch errors. If it's explicit in 'C'/C++ , its just explicit and nobody's making any assumptions.

"Google's lies," according to the lawsuit, included a statement on a privacy page for Apps for Education, which was on the web from at least June 2011 to September 2012, and said the apps were "completely ad-free -- which means your school's content is not processed by Google's advertising systems."

There are general principles in the law that would say in this specific case, Google is making money off this arrangement, this arrangement is based on making money off of scanning emails, people wronged by this arrangement have a right to recompense, so follow the money, that's where the recompense should come from.

Hi,

The echo does allow you to see a history of all previous recordings sent to Amazon (Settings > History), along with the actual voice samples that were sent.

Now granted, I don't think you'd be able to ensure that all packets that were sent corresponded to what is displayed there, but you can estimate it based on the sizes of packets and maximum data that could be sent. Would a proxy server that you controlled resolve your concerns? Or is it more "I don't know what's happening on the backend"?
Well they said SnapChat is vulnerable to the same attack.

As a developer you generally have to assume that the end-user devices are trustworthy, since that is where you render the message into something the end user can see/read/use. You can assume the network is hostile, and that the sender may be hostile, but if your phone/PC is also hostile it's pretty much game over.

Randall Hyde's work is interesting for beginners and users alike. Art of Assembly teaches you assembly but he uses a high-level assembler to do it in pieces. So, you can abstract away some things like in a HLL to ignore them until you understand enough to use the raw ASM. Likewise, if you use HLA for projects, you can do HLL stuff where understanding is more important than performance/memory. Standard library for HLA is so large the HTML reference about froze my browser haha.

This is factual.

Well, no, it's not. From my perspective, this is yet another random anecdote from the Internet. It's no different to me than someone saying they can turn base metals into gold, hear the voice of God directly, or travel to alternate dimensions.

And even from YOUR perspective, you have no idea what's fact and what's not. Apparently this healer is so powerful that your family need not worry about cancer. But I suspect you have little hard evidence of any actual healing, no proposed mechanisms that make any sense, and no ability to reproduce any of this.

The amazing thing about the scientific method is that it gives us a framework to separate claims from reality. If you have a better framework then please share it. But there seems to be little value to a framework built on "I know a guy, trust me." We had that for thousands of years. Health care under such a framework was pretty rough.

Ethereum lets you have simple scripting over ethereum transactions, and I think Slock.it is an meant to be a "locking mechanism" on top of that, so one can only guess (because they have no-info web pages too, just like dao!), that this is a more comprehensive and sophisticated block chain programming model and higher level services than ethereum, but I can't really tell for sure.
As a developer you generally have to assume that the end-user devices are trustworthy

Absolutely not. If you are designing for security, literally nothing in the chain is assumed to be secure by default - including the BTS and carrier networks.

As someone who has designed these systems I ALWAYS take the device security into consideration, for this exact reason. As I mentioned elsewhere, the defense in depth model covers this in detail.

No I'm not associated with them. I just enjoy supporting emerging technologies from real hackers, like the Ampy team.

I think the review you referenced was for an early prototype device. The one the shipped doesn't seem to have as many complaints.

Again only 2% of customers complained about the device. That is probably due to either 1) defective product due to sourcing kinks or 2) The user is not using it right (you have to strap it on your ankle or wear it on your hip for it to generate maximum charge)

This team is very well funded, highly educated, and are backed by other prominent people.

Plus plenty of reputable media sources have reported on this device without any issue including the NYTimes, Washington Post, TechCrunch, and others.

You're the one that seems to have an agenda. Even the Daily Northwestern article I linked has quotes from actual engineering professors that validate the Ampy Move device.

You of course have it exactly backwards.

Capitalism is a system of voluntary trade that functions best when force is banished from trade, and is fully compatible with all sorts of variations of representative government (which is why all the most prosperous representative government nations utilize the free market).

Communism is the exact opposite, it can only continue to exist via extreme violence, and relies on that violence to restrict as much as possible all free action and thought by people (which inevitably includes eliminating all rights, including property rights, freedom of speech, and freedom of press; it's also why every attempt at Socialism and Communism has required a military enforced dictatorship).

Capitalist oriented economies have produced standards of living for the poor and median that tend to be a magnitude beyond what the absolute best Socialist example has ever accomplished. There has yet to be a single Socialist nation that has produced a high standard of living at the median in hundreds of years of experimenting; there are dozens of wildly prosperous Capitalistic nations that heavily utilize the free market.

Capitalistic nations: Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, Finland, US, England, Ireland, Singapore, Australia, Canada, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Norway. They all utilize the free market mixed with welfare state policies, and not one of them is even remotely close to being Socialistic.

Socialist examples: Cambodia, Vietnam, Mao's China, Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Soviet Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, the Eastern Bloc states, Fascist Spain, North Korea

Nothing else could ever need to be said. The closer you get to implementing actual Socialism, the greater the destruction.

Blockchain and the Race Towards Irrelevance
Menlo Park: Beltramo's closing after 134 years
EV's have other benefits. Ultimately, when economy of scale is fully realized, perhaps electric motors are cheaper, cleaner, and easier to maintain than ICE's. Perhaps automobile supply chains will become similar to laptop/Iphone supply chains ( ie extremely efficient) . Perhaps EVs are easier to re-cycle. Perhaps they perform better on the road. For ex, accelerate and stop faster . Perhaps there will be a 5x 10x 20x breakthrough in battery technology?
Because as a computer scientist the last thing you should ever want to do is to do something manually. Because when you do something by hand, every time - especially something as simple as heap allocated objects - you will do it wrong all the time. And memory management is complicated, even if the primitives are not. So when you combine something one level of indirection away complex with a ton of boilerplate you get constant problems, which 25 years of C++ have demonstrated repeatedly in the context of raw memory operators.

These smart pointers, in reality, are not a headache. You want to make a heap object? make_unique. You want to pass it around? Go for it. You want to pass ownership? std::move it. And only in the extremely rare case where you have multiple objects of non-deterministic lifetime that need to both access the exact same data structure, then you pull out shared_ptr and deal with the synchronization.

But unique_ptr, by itself, is probably the most productive addition to C++ period. More than the STL, more than templates, if you use it correctly and design your code properly, it can replace every heap allocation and drastically reduce code complexity.
DuckDuckGo seems to do just fine for me.

Well look. It's a federal crime to buy, sell, or possess pot. Unlike the CIA, whose mission is to break (foreign) laws, the FBI's mission is to enforce US laws. How can you hire a federal law enforcement officer who is also a scofflaw? Very problematic. The solution is probably to use some sort of contractor classification to hire hackers indirectly. Obviously the FBI has no problem working with confidential informants who are criminals of the worst sort. So probably a white hat hacker who partakes in the weed is not that difficult to reconcile with policy, as long as that person is not an actual agent.
Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like this is basically just glossing over this part:

> Some systems cannot be partitioned. Single-node systems (e.g., a monolithic Oracle server with no replication) are incapable of experiencing a network partition. But practically speaking these are rare;

I'm not sure how the writer came to the conclusion that these systems are rare. The website I'm working on now has a single monolithic Postgres server, and the majority of systems I've worked on connected to single monolithic datastores, so at the very least these systems exist. These aren't particularly interesting examples, but when talking theoretically like with the CAP theorem, you don't get to just ignore the rare or uninteresting cases. These seem like relatively common examples of choosing CA.

Of course, when you try to shard such databases, you're going to run into serious problems.

I guess the claim I can credit to the author is that CA really really really means no partition tolerance. Even one network partition puts you in CP or AP territory. But I don't think that means CA stores don't exist.

It may be that I'm just not understanding things correctly, though; the CAP paper is definitely a challenging read for me.

I don't do smart home, which seems to be the main use for it – instead, I use a simple remote control to turn on/off my lights, which is way easier for me than saying "Alexa turn on bedroom light" and waiting for it (I've tried this and unplugged the smart outlet the next day).

I only use it for two things:

• Weather and sometimes news in the morning as I'm getting ready.

• As a Spotify player that I can control from my sofa / bed / elsewhere through Spotify Connect, so basically a quasi-Sonos.

Other than that, I haven't really found any good uses for it.
This is 100% a play for increasing the types of ads for Instagram, but I think it will hurt the platform in the long run.

When I started using snapchat, I thought one of the coolest features was that I could see everyone who viewed my story. Suddenly, I knew my audience and everyone who viewed my snaps. It made me want to post more on snapchat because I knew I had an audience.

I've heard from multiple Instagram users that their recent photos have not gotten the same amount of likes or views as they used to before the algorithm change, and I think this will cause users to be discouraged from posting to Instagram. It almost gives the platform an illusion that it is on the decline, regardless of if it is true or not.
If you're an American and you're interested in supporting a carbon tax, check out the Citizen's Climate Lobby: http://citizensclimatelobby.org/

What they're trying to implement is a revenue-neutral fee on carbon emissions: a fee is collected on fossil fuels at the source (the well, the mine, whatever), and the money from the fee is placed in a fund. At the end of the year, the money is then redistributed to every citizen. About 2/3 of citizens would net positive on this fee.

>By Creating DAO tokens through interaction with The DAO’s smart contract code, you expressly agree to all of the terms and conditions set forth in that code. If you do not understand or do not agree to those terms, you should not Create DAO tokens.

They are saying you need to fully understand all the code, in order to responsibly decide whether you should click a button. But the code is off somewhere else, with no links to it in the shrink-wrap license. For all I know some of the code is buggy or impossible to understand. How many people putting in money have read all the code before doing so? Does all the code even exist yet? Are they agreeing to contracts now that will be hammered out in the future, by a democracy? Tyranny of the majority, anyone? Tyranny of the majority enforced by code sounds even more scary.

Then:

>The use of The DAO’s smart contract code and the Creation of DAO tokens carries significant financial risk, including using experimental software.

The risk part I get, that's pretty standard. But I'm to agree to abide by contracts set out in code I can't see, probably can't understand, and running in experimental software?

It's possible that I have missed some subtleties in your argument so let me ask for a bit of clarification.

Because there isn't going to be anything confidential that the search result returns.

Doesn't this assume that sysadmins are actually competent? And isn't there a ton of evidence that suggests that sysadmins have routinely allowed confidential data to be indexed by Google??

In that case, isn't this analogous to what would happen if I left my front door unlocked and you 'broke' in and stole my collection of Taylor Swift CDs. (I don't actually own any Taylor Swift CDs, but it makes my point easier).

Granted, I did a shitty job of securing my valuable music collection, and Taylor Swift CDs are widely available. But fundamentally, you still came in without permission and took something that belonged to me.

Recent history has shown that you can be prosecuted for all sorts of things in cyberspace. Accessing confidential directories, downloading poorly secured files, and exploiting poorly designed APIs have all been successfully prosecuted.

I wish that we lived in a world where doing things like that would be considered a part of intellectual freedom, but the unfortunate truth is that laws are applied in such a way as to make this highly risky. The silly thing is that the state of the law actually benefits hard core criminals...

I would be curios to that as well, I currently use duckduckgo the most. I have been getting more and more used to how it searches so I have become better with it. I still don't find it as good as the old google, but I honestly cant find what im looking for easily on google anymore.

I usually am researching obscure rare things that only a few websites in the world are talking about and before I could easily find it just by using the combo of key words in google. Now in my experience forget that, it will focus on one key word and give you every huge website that has used it in some article etc.

I lack the knowledge about the algorithms etc that they use, but as far as someone who searched a lot of things and used to enjoy googles actual search engine I just personally find its moving backwards.
