It's very difficult to prevent side channel thumbprints—something as simple as traceroutes, wifi hotspots, caches (DNS, routing) can be uniquely identifiable. Add on top of this biometrics like how you type, how you move your mouse, etc, and it becomes very difficult to avoid concerted tracking efforts.

If specific areas of the Bay Area aren't important, look for local, small business parks in smaller cities. Often times they aren't advertised very well, or at all. I've found interesting deals driving around and calling the realtor's number. In one case, I talked to an existing resident at the office park and he was able to connect me with the owner, who offered to build out office space (essentially put up a wall) based on how much space I needed, ending up to be a better deal than the realtor offered.

E.g. In Alameda, I found a place for $1.80/sqft for a 70 sqft place. It was enough office space for just myself. Adding internet/utilities, still under $200. In San Leandro, found a 100sqft office space including internet/utilities for $250/month.

Also, another resource I found useful LiquidSpace. http://www.liquidspace.com

I think that is more or less exactly the idea behind Android Auto and CarPlay for iOS. The problem is that many manufacturers still don't support it, and customer demand isn't high enough (yet) to force them to. I went ahead and bought the Taco, even though it didn't have Android Auto, because it was otherwise a good truck, and the bluetooth support was Good Enough™. Until enough people don't behave like me, support is likely to lag.

> I used the feel the same as you, but then I gave up. One day I was like "screw it, I'm just going to take it for granted". I stopped caring about getting a feel for why things happen, just that they do and I know how to calculate them. When that changed I was suddenly free, I didn't have to worry about why things made sense or not anymore.

A very important development in my understanding of mathematics was developing an intuition of when something is worth visualizing. Sometimes visualization is extremely helpful. Sometimes it just makes understanding the problem more difficult (looking at you quaternions).

> One problem I have often had is that in a long derivation my brain will be so fried on the mathematics that I eventually forget what the terms in the equations actually represent. I'm like "what is q again? oh yeah it's a generalised coordinate".

I had a professor who said something along the lines of "a good notation liberates the mind while a poor one clutters it." I suspect he was quoting a famous mathematician (as he was wont to do), but I cannot remember who (Whitehead?).
Suppressing the header line and any fancy formatting jazz is a nice idea as well, since otherwise there's invariably some buggery needed to strip it like:

ps | tail -n +2 | cmd_with_just_records

or, if you're doing column extraction as well, I like:

ps | perl -lanE'say $F[0] if 2..eof'

[ps used here as a stand-in for some other command that has a fixed header. I'm aware that you can omit it via hte somewhat long-winded `ps -o "pid= command= [...]"' there, but afaik there's no simple switch for 'do what you were going to, just without a header line at the top']
This situation is exactly what the gold in golden parachutes are for.
No, they did not. This is well studied. Crime rose in neighborhoods that were endogenously majority-black, but suburbanization of white residents did not track crime in previously white, then integrating neighborhoods: it was a reaction to the perception that crime in those integrating neighborhoods would track the rates of crime in endogenously black neighborhoods.

People saw high crime in all-black neighborhoods created by the great migration, lost their shit, and moved to escape the black people. In doing so, they fucked up the tax base for their previous cities, and created new ghettos. Predictably, crime followed their exodus, (falsely) confirming the predictions of the fleeing white people, creating a cascade.

(High crime in endogenously black neighborhoods is also not hard to explain: well-integrated neighborhoods in the Chicagoland MSA have low crime rates, but crime rates in places like Englewood are sky-high; this is a legacy of disadvantage and lack of opportunity and mobility that traces directly from virulent racism. Simply put: you systemically disfavor a population, and the areas inhabited primarily by the disfavored population have poorer outcomes. Who'd have thunk it?)
no, they are doing it to prevent lawsuits. In fact, on Ford's Sync 3 system, they have a huge disclaimer that pops up when you enable Android Auto or Apple Carplay, saying that anything that comes up on the car's screen is controlled by Android (or Apple) and therefore Ford is not liable -- go sue them instead.

A previous article said he could leave with $200M which is not a golden parachute but built up over 30 years of working there.

This article says they could take back $41M in stock options, another $4M in bonuses, and probably $20M in 2016 pay. (They paid him $19.3M in 2015.)

$200M - $65M = f*ck me
He's still not actually being punished. He lost his job. Big deal; he's got a golden parachute. He's not going to go through any of the stress that any of the people he fired for this went through when they lost their jobs. He's not getting fined, he's not going to jail. The worst thing that happened to him is he got a tongue lashing from Warren.

Yes, which is why Facebook's lawyers refuse to answer that question directly and instead obfuscate things by talking about "retaliation".

The Apache 2 license covers, in full, every public goal Facebook legal has stated they have and is 100% ethical. That Facebook refuses to use the Apache 2 license indicates they have additional, private, goals they do not want to own up to publicly.

> Most Dutch riders are cycling slower than a running pace.

Just to confirm, this is absolutely true. When running, I overtake bicyclists all the time. Especially uphill :) (by which I mean traffic overpass, not actual hills of course :p)

Personally I go a bit faster on my bike, but not much. 15 km/h (9.3mph) usually, and if I go much faster than that, I find that it does indeed get a lot more dangerous! Amazing, right? So, I don't do that. Just another clever Dutch workaround, I guess :-P
I mean the use of symbols that are not quite at the level of language to persuade others.

The scene with Alec Baldwin in "Glengarry Glen Ross" is an example - "third prize is you're fired" isn't quite a language construct - it's purely trading on fear. You don't parse it, understand it, then critique or agree.

If you try to treat these things as language, they fall apart. This leads to this massive disconnect in interpretation.

Over the last year, Scott Adams has gone over this quite a bit in explaining the current USAian Republican POTUS candidate. Other source include ( to a lesser extent ) Marshall Macluhan's various work and "The Hidden Persuaders" by Vance Packard.

It might be a bit of a weird choice, but I would suggest reading the "Description of prior art" section of the US Patent on MARPAT (USMC camouflage). It's rather condensed, but it covers the major milestones, differences between types of camo for various purposes (e.g. hunting vs military), and has plenty of references to actual studies.

It also has a lot of numbers pertaining to this particular design (which is considered one of the most efficient modern camo pattern families - note that the family itself is much bigger than MARPAT, and includes e.g. US Army UCP, Canadian CADPAT, Russian SURPAT, and many other digital designs), explaining exactly how and why it works.

The problem is shitty UPnP implementations rather than UPnP itself. If you're pwned you are fucked one way or another, if an online device is vulnerable it's going to be vulnerable wether it exposes itself through UPnP or if it's manually forwarded.

And in the end if you don't like it and want to do your own manual forwarding in a home router, you're free to disable it.
No worries! It's a natural mistake.

That's exactly what Android Auto and Carplay do. On my Ford with Sync 3, I installed the Android Auto app on the phone. Then I plug the phone's usb cable into the car's usb port, and the dash display transforms to something controlled by the phone.

It takes a shockingly long time to get to the point where you can file criminal charges. IANAL (but I did go to law school) but you need time to, at minimum, decide which charges to file (and ensure there are no jurisdictional issues), where to file them, talk to witnesses, file requests for documentation, etc. On top of all that, if you don't dot your i's and cross your t's perfectly, a judge could dismiss the case.

I just noticed that there's now CapROS for ARM.[1] This is a capability-based secure operating system for small machines. It's a successor to EROS and KeyCOS, which had a good track record for security and reliability. Unfortunately, there's very little documentation. Somebody could bring that up to usability for ARM embedded devices and make money selling support to IoT companies.

Thanks for the detailed answer! Here are some comments to answer your questions:

> 2. A CDN, for super fast loading.

I just want my website to load fast from anywhere in the world. I especially want this since page load time impact SEO. Something like cloudflare.com which has a free plan.

> 5. And not expensive, less than $10 per month.

$10 per month excluding the domain name. I don't think that's unresonable for a simple static html website. As mentioned above there are some CDN that have a free tier.

Overall I'm trying to find the simplest way to host my static website online, and make sure it works well with search engine (ssl and fast to load). All of that for less than $10 per month.
It's probably roughly in line with the centrist Democrat view (which is also generally pro-war), if you don't look too hard at the prominent columns given to people like David Brooks and Ross Douthat which would drag their aggregate editorializing to the right.

So in common American usage, not liberal. If you're a socialist though, "liberal" would accurately describe the whole Democratic party, who favor somewhat regulated capitalism and mild social liberalism.

Thanks for the heads up. Interestingly, Android has the Desktop Head Unit for displaying Android Auto stuff on the desktop, but it's presented as a developer debugging tool. I'm not sure, but it looks like the actual car head unit is supposed to be using android, which I sort of understand from their point of view of wanting a good implementation not left up to the car manufacturers (and their history of poor software quality and updating), and also to increase marketshare. I imagine CarPlay is similar.

That's a shame, because I think they missed out on a real opportunity to attempt to define a standard that could have been useful for more than a closed ecosystem, and more than just cars. I'm sure it would be less featureful than what they came up with, but I think that would have been justified with the expanded scope. Imagine, if you will, if your phone could just as easily export controls to some virtual/augmented reality device you are wearing, without having to run the Android Auto operating system on that device. Such a shame.
I would be fine with "Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf Ordered to Pay Back Fraudulent Fees to Wells Fargo Clients, Out of Own Pocket" (possibly down to some wealth limit, say, he can keep the $35K he apparently pays to his employees if his fortune is not enough to restore the damage). I am not a big believer in jail as punishment (as opposed to "place we keep people who are dangerous to others, for the good of society at large"). The remedy to fraud should be a fine, but it should be a fine commensurate with the level of fraud rather than a slap on the wrist and it should affect the people involved, not just get passed down to corporate stockholders (which includes pension funds and the like). I would also be fine with a court injunction banning him from working on banking, again, not as punishment but as "this man can't be trusted by society to handle other people's money". All of this after proper trial, of course.

That said, bank CEOs are a Least Concern species when it comes to overuse of punishment in the justice system, so if someone wants to jail them until we decide not to jail many other types of non-violent offenders, well... I am not fighting that one too strongly. I just think that in one way it would be a step in the wrong direction.
Yes, I wanna try again.

The thing about Ferguson is that the protest was based on over a century of racist policing across America, and particularly in Ferguson (And I'm not just speaking of police killings - consider the DOJ report on Ferguson.) Michael Brown, and the treatment of his body was the last straw, not the first one.

I suggest you educate yourself on the question of race relations. Between the World And Me [1] is a good start, if you want to understand why so many encounters between African Americans and police end as poorly as they do.

For some reason, the fact that Wells Fargo is a really big enterprise cut no ice with the various Congresscritters.

FWIW, I am not a "break up the banks" guy[1] mainly because of things written and said in podcasts by Charles Calomiris, author of "Fragile By Design" along with Stephen H. Haber.
