Are you aware of any documentation or literature on general ratio of labor to hardware budget for projects? I'd love to have something to throw at people when they start this sort of thing.

The silliest part is that when you ask they always talk about how they budgeted for the developers but there's no extra money in the budget for hardware. As if you're getting the same work out of people you shafted for equipment.

Yes, your budget looks great, but your profit margin goes to hell because it takes longer to bill your customers.

Peep show
Yes, I see the disclaimer. You are walking an incredibly fine line.

If you did this to the GPS that is currently in your airplane, unless you are also a licensed A&P or your aircraft is registered as experimental, you potentially made an illegal modification to your aircraft. You almost certainly voided the IFR rating on your GPS. You may have voided your airworthiness certificate. You may have also voided your insurance policy.

Now, there's a lot of qualifiers in there because ... I honestly don't know. There's lots of rule making about what maintenance owners can do when to comes to physical parts of the plane, but hardly any about software. That's why I would talk to a lawyer and A&P first if you do decide to fly with this. It might be fine, especially given the age of the GPS in question, to just have someone sign off on it. But likely only an attorney up-to-date with FAA rule making could tell you that. To me, this looks legally problematic at the very least, but IANAL.

Yes, it is your GPS, and your airplane, and you should be able to do what you like with them, but that's not how the FAA works. You and I both know that, as pilots, we have almost no legal protection. It literally just takes one FAA bureaucrat wanting to make a name for themselves to really make your life a living hell over this if they want to. Never underestimate the pettiness of government bureaucrats when it comes to following rules. If someone from the FAA sees this, they're likely going to want to ask you some questions.

I'm not going to tell you how to live your life. Only you can determine what your risk tolerance is, and the reality is that probably no one will find out, you will have no issues, and you'll be just fine. Again, it's an impressive and very clever feat of reverse-engineering, and I don't want to take anything away from that. From one engineer to another, really, it's well done. But if you have an incident flying IFR on this now-unrated equipment, and the FAA finds out about this, it will likely end very poorly for you.

All I can say is that, if it were me, I would not fly with anything in the airplane that would endanger me or get me in trouble with the FAA. I would not even want to take a chance with something like this in my airplane.

I would at the very least 1) talk to an aviation lawyer, and 2) get someone to sign off on what you've done. I would also provide the relevant documentation on your webpage about the legally questionable nature of this modification.

Or 3) slap an "INOP" placard on it and get on with the fun of flying.

Trump University Settles Fraud Claims for $25M
“Donald Trump fought us every step of the way, filing baseless charges and fruitless appeals​ and refusing to settle for even modest amounts of compensation for the victims of his phony university,” Schneiderman said in a statement. “Today, that all changes. Today’s $25 million settlement agreement is a stunning reversal by Donald Trump and a major victory for the over 6,000 victims of his fraudulent university.”

That's not even 5k a head. A pittance, really.

I think the feedback you should get from that comment isn't that the price is too big, but that the pricing page may not be as clear as you think. I.e. you never intended that dev to pay 100$/month but he/she took it that way.

Agreed, but, sometimes people need to do stuff RFN. And sometimes that doesn't leave time for learning new things, even if they might be somewhat better.

No, it's not all relative, all the same, subject to interpretation, or just a matter of political preference. There are lies and truth, propaganda and real information. If we fail to distinguish between them, we will have critical problems and many people will suffer.

As I said, all these theories, claiming it's all relative, are part of the disinformation campaign, wittingly or not.

You can make that claim, but it's not true. Everything you listed were uncovered and reported by leading journalism organizations.

"but I think that the commodity level of most hardware still makes it super unlikely."
"If a company is willing to use Office 365"

Oh I'm with you on this. Steve Walker's Computer Security Initiative and the Orange Book gave us lots of highly-secure stuff for defense, etc. They got rid of that for cheap, fast, fully-featured COTS. The same happens in business, aerospace, etc. The exceptions are usually pre-made appliances or, in aerospace, better components in the DO-178B Level A stuff. Much of it is shoddy. A good chunk of the defense fabs' business is probably replacing legacy parts in old equipment at prices guaranteed through corrupt contracts. They don't give a shit about security in general: just money. ;)

"But when it comes right down to it, there's billions of weak points at much higher levels and much more easily compromised than a chipset or compiler."

There's lots of weak points. Stopping code injection from all known vectors with simple, proven techniques at CPU and language levels eliminates the whole malware problem if apps are whitelisted, built from source, and include no executable scripting/JIT. There's ways to conveniently enforce POLA within a system (eg CapDesk), do secure (even automated) configurations of networks (Boeing's Survivability Grammers), and so on. There's components for most use-cases just waiting to be productized, integrated and sold to larger audience. Given this is 90+% of attacks, it's certainly worth pushing to establish a stronger baseline for companies that want less loss of secrets, availability, data, etc.

There's only so much the traditional methods like coaching and monitoring can do if one can simply open a folder (not a file!) that immediately results in full-control of machine by malware since a thumbnail rendered. Endless crap like that exploiting underlying foundation of quicksand. The HW and SW of endpoints, at least at lowest layers, need to get in check for that other stuff to be meaningful. I'm also in favor of an integrated networking stack that makes different applications, even if using TCP or HTTP, look visibly different at the packet level so NIDS spots weird patterns more easily. Like the MLS extension but not MLS policy itself. Do it at application layers with stuff like Ethos's eTypes or security-enhanced ZeroMQ where developers don't worry about plumbing much.

" It's a good academic exercise though."

It's also an industry bringing in tens of millions of dollars at least. That's with costs that are too high, lack of key software support, and little to no advertising. I imagine it could be larger than tens of millions with such obstacles reduced or eliminated.

For years, Microsoft's C compiler only supported C89 and would choke on C99 code (that used C99 features). That has recently changed (I'm guessing with the release of C11, which made certain C99 features optional instead of mandatory) but for a long time, it seemed that Microsoft was saying "We don't care about C."

I stayed in Coober Pedy when I drove from Darwin to Melbourne. I remember it very well for two reasons. One, I thought to myself that it was the most depressing town I'd ever been. It was hot, dry, dusty and there's literally nothing around. Also, the vegetation never grows higher than 30 centimeters or so; you'll notice on the pictures in the article that the only tree you see is on the painting. Secondly, it's been the only time in my life that I pitched my tent in an underground camping. The biggest advantage was that I didn't need to put in the pegs as there was no wind.

On a side note, our neighbor in the camping was a cyclist who cycled from London to Singapore, took a boat to Perth, and was now cycling through Australia. I couldn't imagine crossing the desert on a bike, yet he was doing it. I just checked his Facebook and it turns out that 4 years later he's still touring the world on his bike!
I am a little curious why the title of this submission, "Automated Inference on Criminality using Face Images" was altered to the current, which is "Automatic Racial Discrimination via Artificial Intelligence"
Especially when the abstract of the paper explicitly mentions "...using facial images of 1856 real persons controlled for race, gender, age and facial expressions..."
This seems to be needless politicization of the topic, designed specifically to suppress discussion. Unfortunate as this topic seems rather interesting, and the finding that criminals and noncriminals divide so easily into distinct, detectable groups would be interesting to discuss here.
Interesting - could you point out where to find this? I poked around a bit but didn't come up with anything.

High-end sports cars with paddles use an automatically triggered manual transmission, it's a sequential shifter, not a classic automatic transmission.

No, it suffices to treat them with basic respect. You know, responding to emails in time, calling when you said you would, getting back to them with information about the status by about the time you said you would, not ghosting them, etc. Not asking them to complete carelessly designed take-home projects, or spend their otherwise precious time talking to poorly trained and/or unmotivated interviewers, etc.

Unfortunately many companies don't seem to grasp the importance of even these very simple and basic considerations.

> Mikrotik.

Mikrotiks are an amazing value! Usually they are way over spec'ed for their intended purpose as well, which means you're getting even more bang for your buck.

They have models for home users, businesses, all the way up to ISP "carrier grade" equipment.

They used to be difficult to configure (you needed to know quite a bit about networking and how Mikrotik's do things, since they originally targeted only WISP and more traditional ISP customers), but that's changed significantly in the past few years. They have 1-click setup wizards now, so even people with no networking experience can get up and running quickly, just like your run-of-the-mill Netgear router.

Also, you can run RouterOS (the OS on Mikrotiks/Routerboards) on x86 hardware, so you can build your own router if you have the need.

The thing that really scares me, as a fortunately ex-security guy, is the fact that everywhere I've worked for the last 10 years people are super casual about keyboards and mobiles.

Mobile phones are an amazing platform to do... well, almost anything. There are some areas where their possession is restricted, though I suspect a motivated party could sneak a stripped down mobile device into nearly anywhere.

Keyboards, on the other hand. Wow. I've seen even airgapped systems have random keyboards right off the pallet slapped onto them. These sit in racks for months or years, then get tossed usually to a recycler, a donation program, stolen, or just thrown into a dumpster.
Considering how much tech is in a keyboard, and how much volume it has, you could place nearly anything in there and possibly go ages without catching on.

A scenario that I recently pointed out as a 'thought exercise' was a refitted USB keyboard with a microphone, pinhole camera, and simple keylogger+screenshot engine that contained an intermittent RF/wifi/bluetooth/ultrasonic network. Programmed to dump its payload whenever an individual passed nearby and triggered it remotely.

Such a trojan could sit in a datacenter or conference room for years completely unnoticed. The data it captured transmitted only to the cleaning crew or whatever.

Worse yet, such a device could also pass instructions to the system it was attached to as an actual USB device.

You could fit a lot of horsepower in an innocuous Dell or MS or whatever mass-produced keyboard. Toss it into a top level conference room for corporate espionage, toss it into a data center for more direct trouble, whatever.

Scary thought, and I think part of why I still use the same keyboard I've had since 1997 ;)

There a lot of cases where people would gladly pay for service to get an issue resolved. I'd use that as a hedge against the people who just want to complain for free.

Allow people to purchase a "certificate of service" at a nominal cost when the account is set up, and then charge them a fee when they need service for the product, verifying the request against the original certificate. That should cover the tech support problem.

> Communication, however, exists for many reason, while guns exist for few, so I don't see the comparison as terribly valuable

Encryption exists ensure the privacy of private communications. It is therefore morally superior to a gun which is used only for shooting and the convincing of others that you are able to shoot.

Encryption exists to limit or prevent the open dissemination of data. It is therefore morally inferior to a gun which is used prevent harm.

These are word games. The things a thing can be used for have no bearing on the morality of the thing it is used for.
"It was therapeutic for the reasons you give, but also because I had a death wish."

This is a problem. High sensation seeker, (dopamine seeker) with low perception of risk. Understanding risk is a skill. You can improve it through training and applying conscious decision making. Risk management is trying to mitigate the "unknown, unknowns." If you do not understand the risks, you cannot avoid the pitfalls until it stares you in the face.

Risk is also relative. Stand on the side of a busy road you are (mostly) safe. Walk out onto a busy road you are not. It's that stark.
