Another good one is the military. A coworker lives a few miles from the navy base in Bremerton, Washington, and a couple times a year they do some radio testing that completely blocks his garage door opener. His garage only has the one door, and it has no manual override from outside, so when this happens his car is stuck there until the navy finishes testing.

This is an area where IOT makes some sense. If you use an unlicensed frequency using the rule that allows use of such frequencies as long as power is very low, you risk some licensed user legally operating with much more power will stomp all over you, as is the case with the navy.

If you use IOT, that is much less likely. The frequencies used by WiFi are primarily allocated to other services, and so there is some risk that someone will legally stomp all over your WiFi, that risk is a lot less.

First, WiFi bands start at 2.4 GHz and go up from there. At those frequencies range is much more limited than it is at lower frequencies such as those typically used in current garage door openers. So even if someone is doing something high powered on those frequencies, it will likely only wipe out WiFi in a small area, rather than for many miles around.

Second, WiFi is widespread enough that those who might interfere probably use WiFi themselves, and so might be inclined to use some other frequencies available to them so as to not wipe out their own WiFi.

Similar arguments apply to cellular internet, but more strongly because in the case of cellular, I believe the cellular companies are the users who have priority for those frequencies.

This, an IOT garage door opener, connected on your home WiFi, that you can access via your cell phone from your car either via the cell phone using your home access point of over your cellular service, seems like it would possibly be the way to go nowadays (assuming you can secure the damn thing reasonably).

In the case specifically of garage door openers, though, I'd also consider doing it optically or ultrasonically, instead of via radio.
I'd love an office. But i fear it might be too late to go back to private offices. Besides the open floors, open communications ra-ra spiel, i'm sure employers have noticed the cost savings in stuffing everyone together.
I'm very much introverted and like doing my own thing a lot. My wife is the same way. I was worried about the same thing you are. The key is to find someone who gets you and can relate to that feeling. My home is still a safe escape for me, but my home is my wife now as cheesy as that sounds.
Well, yes. That's why it was even in the running to begin with.
Why did they removed the color correction slider from dev previews? My Nexus 5X has a light yellow tint and the cool color switch is way too cool. Three sliders for RGB would be ideal. Now I still need to flash custom kernels to adjust RGB :|
Testosterone, namely. I talk about what I know. That type of thinking dismisses everyone as generic. We are all varied creatures with our own distinct traits however specific gender and sexual preferences have a common pattern. For me to talk outside of preferences that I do not understand is doing injustice to those that hold them.

Wow, actual advice that works gets down voted. This is a bit of irony but also tragic. The group that needs this type of advice the most, will not take it.
"Do you think that Wall Street hasn't figured that out?"

"Wall Street", whoever that is on Wall Street, may have figured it out, but the stock doesn't instantaneously move to the correct value afterwards. There is a time lag where traders who are paying attention can still get in at a good price.

I think it depends on what companies agree to not send you emails if you opt out. I'm betting if a company agrees to the dma opt out then they will stop and you will get a little less. But I think most advertisers don't care if you opt out or not. It's in their best interest to not care
Openssl very much falls into the "so complicated / complected that there are no obvious flaws"-bin, while something like NaCl is closer to "So simple there are obviously no flaws" one.

Note that there turned out to be a distressing number of obvious bugs in Openssl, and that it's doubtful that all serious bugs in a full, real-world crypto stack (especially perhaps if you demand support for x509) could ever be obvious.

That's not true, the carriers are compensated through CABS (carrier access billing) based on number of minutes, not number of connected calls.

Carriers have to accept traffic from other carriers, even if they have not paid their CABS bill.

Right now, no one is paying anyone. That's why fair cross-carrier compensation and flat-rates are a big talk in the FCC instead of what's called "Tariff rates" which vary by carrier and by destination.

Freeconferencecall.com exists because of CABS and having very high tariff rates. They do NOT want lots of short duration calls. That doesn't help them at all.

Trial by Code Review – A Brief Guide to Writing Good Code Reviews
Not everything was hardware related, or at least not obviously hardware related. My friends both really wanted public transit directions in maps and airdrop but neither feature shipped on the 4S. I also seem to remember that predictive Siri (Google Now-ish competitor, don't remember what they called that) didn't make it to the 4S.

So I do commend apple for getting updates to that device for 4 years, but at least in their experience, it made the phone worse and didn't bring all the features that they wanted.
An app I am interested in trying out, too bad its only for Apple. Is there any plans on an Android release? I have noticed in the large group of motorbike riders i usually ride with little-to-none use an iPhone so there seems to be a large Android market for an app like this.

App looks very clean and hoping to be able to try it out sometime soon

This project is a milestone in our transition from fossil fuels to wind and solar energy in the USA.

"Gulf Coast businesses that have long built offshore oil structures see wind power in the Northeast as a potential new market."

This reminds me of how San Francisco companies that funded and supplied 19th-century gold mining in California were able to "pivot" and find new markets after the gold rush faded.
It was found by a radio amateur, not FCC. So the only way to deal with this is asking nicely and expecting cooperation.
I agree with what you say, and I actually have grown to appreciate what the bots are doing. They basically do the supply/demand discovery for you and you can trade off of this information. Especially for stocks you follow that haven't moved yet.

Example: back in February crude prices crashed, and the weekly EIA reports were very bearish. But the bots bought the initial drop on report release and crude strongly rallied after each bearish report. Maybe that's the time to buy oil stocks :)

This is fascinating research! It's one of those things that seems obvious in retrospect, but if it was obvious, why has nobody addressed it before?

I have to say, though, the example security alert they show looks like spam to me. I'm not a regular user of Chrome, so maybe that's how they all look, but it looks like it's trying to sell me some seedy 3rd party tool that will "clean up" my settings while really installing malware to show me more ads.
> It's almost like you're trying not to hear what I'm saying.

Perhaps because what you're saying is/sounds off-topic? Basically it amounts to "some (pro-mass-surveillance) folks propose X because Y". Even if that's true, so what? To repeat the GP, this has nothing to do with whether Russia hacked an NSA staging server, or another leaker inside NSA is behind the leak.

No, you missed it. The point that Bamford made is that he personally got to grep the Snowden leaks for the ANT catalog a few years ago, and this stuff wasn't in there. But this stuff is real and we have it now. Which means the ANT catalog was released by "another snowden".

You're now rebutting a point that the article isn't making by saying it's rebutting a point no one is making!

Nobody implied Snowden released it or was even suspected of releasing it, including Bamford. He is challenging the narrative that it was Russian hackers, because of the other, non-Snowden leak evidence.

I think sometimes been good at a few things beats been great at one thing, that's the category musk falls into, he reminds me of Thomas Edison far more than Tesla (somewhat ironically considering the name be chose for his car company).

Ideally none of it. In this app I don't believe that I used any scriptProcessorNodes. I can't remember though. The general idea is that you are connecting nodes into an audio grid but all of the dsp is happening natively. You can process the audio manually in js but it isn't as fast and is generally frowned upon. I believe that they are deprecating the scriptProcessorNodes and providing a way for you to define dspin js but have it run on the system level.
>What are you talking about? Over half of the people on that list are dead.

Hastings had a manic episode before he died, which presumably explains the car crash.

Wellstone was being flown by pilots with "below-average flying skills" who stalled in IMC.

Romero was killed by an El Salvador death squad.

So you're left with one foreign dictator, and one foreign socialist politician killed by the CIA. Not quite comparable to murdering your own citizens on home soil simply for disagreeing with you.
Can't say much about DNT, but I think turning off javascript absolutely makes sense.

If you turn it off, they can put you into the "disabled javascript" pool of users. So what?

But if you keep it on, they can query half a dozen APIs and get a much more detailed configuration of your browser. Which lets them put you into a much smaller pool and identify you more confidently.
Python vs Julia Observations
> You're forcing me to respond.

I don't want to continue this if you aren't getting anything out of it. My intent isn't to agitate.

> You can't just remove my modifiers and then claim "heavy accusations".

I'm not sure where I removed the modifiers? Even when tempered by modifiers, and accusation of being wrong required a different level of evidence than of wrongdoing, in my opinion. E.g. "I think you might be incorrect" compared to "I think you might be trying to deceive us". Even mentioning that you think someone is not acting in good faith should be reserved unless you are fairly certain (as outlined by the guidelines). Of course, as you've stated, you felt this situation was at that level. I think most people looking in did not, which is where the friction came from.

> Note also the irony of supposing someone's state of mind while advocating proof.

I don't think it's ironic to suppose a state of mind when the purpose is to give a benefit of a doubt. It's rude, and not conducive to discussion to assume negatively (and then act on it), I don't think the same can be said for asking for keeping an open mind and asking for clarification (without an accusation, or with one but making it very clear you are looking for an alternative explanation).

> You've already shared your opinion on the past tense and I've disagreed. I'll add to that the use of third person instead of the first. Hopefully this will be my last referral to the OC.

> I'm simply claiming that it is probable that it was an attempt at manipulation and that my reaction had reason and purpose outweighing it's "harshness".

Fair enough. I was just trying to understand how you weighted the probabilities of what you thought the commenter was trying to convey to make you think that was the probable intent, because we obviously interpreted it very differently. If you don't want to go into your reasoning, I'm not sure there's much else to say.
I got here because I spent several years doing non-paid work on a very popular open-source project (writing code, but also spending a lot of time answering questions on the mailing list, on the support forums and on StackOverflow). Eventually I got a reputation as a good dev and I started getting job offers, some of which were remote. *

I guess my point is that you have to give them a reason to look at you, even if it's just "Hey, I remember that guy/girl from that blog/mailing list/conference. They seem decent."

https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/ixgbe.tx...

I wonder if it is an issue with the kernel not keeping up, or if it is due to some other odd hardware effect (sometimes "gigabit" nics on embedded boards are really connected to a USB2.0 bus, which is slower than gigabit).
IMHO, I think this misses the larger motivator for moving to these services. I don't think you can approach the Cloud as just "a less expensive data center", because you're missing what I believe is the real motivator, "developer productivity". And I don't think this is just Cloud, it's DevOps, Microservices, CI/CD, Serverless, etc. I consult in these areas at large enterprises and have a front row seat to how a lot of these problems are approached. What's particularly interesting is the common thread of developers moving faster by automating human processes outside development. For example, if you have mature CI/CD, you've automated all your testing to the point you no longer need a QA team of manual testers. If you move to the Cloud, you no longer need a data center team. Etc.

Now it's obvious that companies just want to save money, but another reality is that those human processes just cannot compete on the service they offer to their customers, developers. You could have the best QA team in the world, but compared to a dev team armed with mature testing practices and CI, it's seconds vs. hours for developers to get the feedback they need in order to ship.

Infrastructure hardware is cheaper than ever these days in order to compete with the Cloud, while good developers are at an all time premium. When infrastructure is no longer a slow, scarce resource, it enables developers to spend more time perfecting their applications and experimenting with new approaches. So I suggest you not approach the Cloud as purely a cost saving measure for the infrastructure department, and really think about how transformative it can be in changing your IT processes.

> "I have spent so much time now looking at the satellite images, and I really love this ice shelf, it would be such a tragic thing to see this thing go."

The article has a much more realistic analysis: there is no public will and money in the US to push for that kind of project.

> "The uncomfortable reality is that we can't agree on what to build -- transit or highways, dams or water conservation technology. And we don't want to pay for it."

The power of regulations and NIMBy-ism is a symptom of the weakness of the government to really get being an infrastructure project, not the cause.

China on the other hand is fully committed, but they start from nothing, so they have to build everything anyway. That's not the case in the US, and at some point, as bad as current service is, the cost benefit of massive infrastructure project get more complicated.

For example, does the Bay Area really need massive improvement to compete ? It is on top of its game, despite its weaknesses. Unless you go full China (with the consequences) you will not build enough transport, enough housing and transport enough low paid workers to man all those new coffee shops, hospitals, schools, ... that are needed to support an even more desirable Bay Area.

Maybe it is time to think about something else. For example it is not normal that the Bay Area still work using the same pattern than in the 70's.

Technology has evolved exponentially since then. A lot of people met their wife online, keep their friendship across continent online. Grand-Parents see their grand children more often than they could in the 70's, despite having them on the other side of the country. But workplace is still a massive building somewhere with thousands of people sharing an employer. And the irony, is that you take the bus packed full with people from your own company but you need to video conference to talk to the other people of your team.
I tried to get a price check by dropping "Radar Engineers 240A Noise Signature Receiver" into Google's shopping search, and for some reason all it gave me was one result: a "My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Guardians of Harmony Fan Series Figure - Princess Celestia" from Toys'R'Us.

Google is very weird sometimes.

Note: I have never watched "My Little Pony", collected anything related, visited any My Little Pony fan sites, read any My Little Pony fan fiction (not even accidentally, via crossovers from fandoms whose fiction I do read), or done anything else to show any interest whatsoever in My Little Pony. Google has a ton of information about me with regards to things I might actually buy, so why the heck did they pick My Little Pony? (Heck, I'm pretty sure they have figure out that I have a ham license...surely they have something more relevant for me than My Little Pony).
Yes folks, these wines will still be drinkable. I've had 1929 red Burgundies on more than one occasion and can confirm that aged wine is not only drinkable but enjoyable. I was in Bouchard's cellars last November and can tell you that their storage facilities are top notch.
Battery life sucks on Android flagship phones because they are running so many peripherals and the devs don't bother with aggressive power management. That is not Android's fault.

Witness the $200 phones that get spectacular battery life on stock Android primarily because they aren't running hardware that mostly goes unused and are unburdened by poorly designed launchers written by enterprisey Java devs.

These wines have never even left their cellars, so UV resistant bottles aren't really necessary. And uncorking an old bottle is part of the allure. Resistance to newer and more technically sound closures like stelvins (screw caps) is especially strong in the old world.
