It's a power amplifier for development, especially if you don't have ObjC/Swift Devs. I picked it up in October 2016 at the request of a client who I had built a web app for. He asked for a proof of concept, and me being intrigued by React Native said I'd check it out and try to build a minimalistic proof of concept to see if we can proceed with the project.

I did not have any experience with mobile development or React, and only knew Vanilla JS, none of that new fancy ES6 stuff. I was able to be comfortably effective with React-Native in about a month. On the first weekend, I had a usable sandbox/playground app compiling with hot-reloading enabled which sped learning along in a huge way.

We're a couple hundred hours into that project now, and I still find React Native to be a joy to work with.
Often the attack vector isn't "blowing a hole", but rather causing a shockwave that turns the interior face of the armor into shrapnel (technical term - spalling). Of course, modern tanks are designed against this to some degree.

And definitely the danger is much higher for the less-armored trucks and the like.

do you have a viable EMP design that's not a nuclear weapon? Better patent it quick - you'll reap billions.
For apps looks like they have a whitelist based on usage statistics, so it's basically vetting by other users of NAV. It does not replace digital signature check, but it's a good addition to it.

For other threats it can be similar solution.
It will only become easier and easier to do great harm to many people. And so there is no number of terrorists that is an acceptable risk.

We can't allow these savages to keep developing their capabilities, growing their numbers, and inspiring sympathizers around the world. The only option is to eradicate ISIS and similar groups from the face of the Earth. We must strike fear deep into the hearts of any who would think to do us harm.
No, but I'm starting to think I should.

Time distorts self-awareness, and having a written record would help.
Well, HTTP does have etag ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_ETag ) but of course that would still require a request sending the known etag, to either get 304 not modified or the content. So how about a way to put the etags of assets into the header of the document loading them or something? Then the browser can decide if it wants to make that request.

And I also have the feeling that surely, just this exist, I just don't know about it ^^

Linking things by hash, other than being so very ugly, consider this case: you have this asset that changes every minute, and is several MB. If a users users your site too much, you will flush out out all other cached stuff with old versions of that file that will never get referenced again. That just strikes me as extremely wasteful, that is, you get a short term boost but even worse performance overall. If other sites do it too much, it will mean your own stuff will not even be cached when visitors come back.
>I was super excited about this until I saw it was another 13" screen.

Same. Anything less than 15" is completely unusable to me.
Thanks to the ACA, a larger share of Americans have health insurance than ever before

because its compulsory. this shouldn't an argument for the ACAs effectiveness. I have to buy car insurance if i choose to drive a car on public roads. i have to pay income tax if i have income. now, by birth, i automatically owe the state. i'd like my freedom and right to choose back please.

the fact this isn't the main argument from GOP shows their incompetence.
Let's Supose each chunk of data is one 3 machines.

If each each machine has 3 chunks you now risk data loss of those 2 machines fail before they offload data. However if each machine holds 3X munger of machine chunks then if any 2 machines fail you lose data instead of 2 specific machines failing. So even though you replicate faster, your risk of some data loss is actually higher.

Basically you risk data loss over 1/5,000 the time but have 5000 * 4999 more ways to fail. The only real upside is the actual data loss is likely to be very small.
Hahahaha I did the exact same thing
The far future may be similar to Banks's Culture novels: each of us supports a cloud of thousands and thousands of micro-drones. As the ages pass countermeasures against these drones lead to counter-countermeasures lead to counter-counter-countermeasures and on and on until our sea of micro-dones essentially becomes an extension of our own immune system.

Though the attitude may be bad, that author guessed right; he didn't miss anything by avoiding those.

I also didn't learn those in the sense of working with them, but I studied their reference material and numerous examples. That is more than enough for me to see what the underlying requirements are which these languages implement. I don't agree with most of the requirements (by which I mean the detailed specifics, not generalities like "we would like a useful language with good libraries for a wide range of applications" which is a universal).

I've borrowed from some of these languages into my own Lisp dialect. For instance, I like Python's array indexing, with how negative indices work backwards from the end, so I copied it.
Other countries manage it fine, and the costs here are overblown. Aetna claimed last year that it was pulling out of the ACA over costs, but it has emerged that this was a purely strategic decision after the FTC or the SEC declined to support a merger the firm wanted to enter into.

I reject the claim that 'we just can't afford it', and claim instead that the economic loss of not doing it is far greater, just not properly accounted for.

Listen, I'm not trying to argue that my Forester is nicer than your Tesla. By no means is that the case.

I see an overpriced Chinese ultra-book with a weird laser etched logo. I was mildly interested until seeing the price point. 4GB ram and a dual core i5 for $800 is crazy in 2017.

Not sure who they're expecting to buy this.
> This was due to a one time tax hit

Was it a one-time hit or is this the new normal for stock-based compensation (SBC)?
Small scale CWIS, or high-power near IR lasers will mitigate it a bit, but only on expensive equipment. General awareness of things in the sky (mesh nets of radar/optical?) should help individuals without expensive countermeasures.
Seems like questionable advice - sounds like a great way to accidentally drop a bunch of weights to the floor if you're at all uneven with your bar path (not at all unusual when fatigued).
I also have had really bad experiences with Makerbots after a few months of moderate daily use. But Makergear and a few others around the same price point have been pretty great so far.

That said, my organization moved on from the consumer tier printers to a few of the higher end ones, so I likely won't have the best input on those anymore.

These videos are presented as real but look completely fake and staged.

First we see a winged glider being launched, but then we somehow switch to quadcopters dropping bombs with remarkable accuracy. I mean, they've even gone to the trouble of adding video game overlays at various points.

Please use as much skepticism with ISIS propaganda videos as you would with the next leaked video from Magic Leap.
I thought of this too. A lot of the major SV players (like Airbnb, Uber) make their money based on the fact that they can charge less money because they aren't paying for the negative externalities of their product. As consumers, we're happy to pay less for hotels / taxis / bike sharing, these companies are happy to make profits. It's a win, win and hence these businesses thrive. However, everyone is participating in a short of cheat, because they aren't paying as much as they should.

The difficult part is that these business models seem to actually be really useful, but it would be nice if there was a happy medium between totally skipping out on paying for negative externalities and complete governmental regulation and the ensuing inefficiencies.
You pay for private insurance or you pay for public insurance via taxes. Any other solution is unworkable and you are a free rider.
Even taking in excess of 1,000mg, it may be a fairly running bowel movement but it's nothing that a normal session to the toilet can't handle.

Body gets rid of the excess and I move on with my day. I could back it off, but honestly, it just isn't that burdensome and I enjoy the consistency of taking the same amount every day.

And there may be days where I'm more stressed and the body could use more magnesium, so I just stick with my dosage.
I thought less about the army, the army will be fine, but civilian terror targets. Imagine how you would secure an open air concert at night against such a drone attack?
Put a number on it, otherwise you're just blowing smoke. If you can't put a number on it, then you clearly haven't performed the analysis and so your claim of it not being a good use of money is untested.
Except that a drone can be flown into a "sanitized" area after the EMP goes off. I don't think an EMP is an effective solution.

Why would your network accept that announcement if it wasn't signed with your signing key?
That's more or less how we got here in the first place. The tech isn't going away, and genocide is not a great way to make friends.
I'm honestly surprised that it took this long. It's something that has been a worry in circles for a while.

One of the bigger worries was using IEDs and drones to deliver payloads to semi-secure locations, like data center power and cooling infrastructure. I know that exfiltration of information via drone was another worry, that came to light.

I don't think we will see 3D printing of drones and terrorists collaborating over the Internet on CAD files, as these platforms are manufactured cheaply, en masse in China.

I've always thought drone defense would be a massive industry. I don't think radio jamming will be a viable option to prevent an attack. Perhaps, GPS spoofing, but that has other side effects. You can't use projectiles safely, because of the potential for collateral damage.

I think we should I'll begin microwave and laser based weaponry for this. One of the most intriguing weapons is an Electrolaser: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolaser. I believe that every US airport will need drone defense in ~10 years -- but alas, I've been saying that for the past few years.
It shouldn't revalidate unless there are other headers that might cause it to revalidate (If-Modified-Since?).
One of my workstations is Kubuntu 14.04. It looks amazing out of the box, but you have to turn the bling off to actually use it (I don't really need a bright blue shadow around the active window, for example). I really like it's old-school configurability, but you're right - it's way too buggy. Lots of little things that add up, and include freezes where I have to kill the plasma-desktop and restart it - how a non-techie is supposed to survive this, I don't know.

I really like the configurability (gnome3 went in the opposite direction and declared that configurability was evil), but I think you nailed it with 'designed for screenshots'...
No more than HTTP or SQL fixes these problems on their own.
Except they aren't that narrow of a beam. If that drone was hovering 20ft over that tank and you aimed an EMP blast at it, you will likely disable some of the tank's systems too.

Thanks for the clarification. The IP rate-limiting makes sense from a spam prevention perspective. If spammers can get around the limiter just by creating additional accounts, it would defeat the purpose of rate-limiting.
Yet we consistently agree to "non solicitation" in our contracts. Even if people came over by their own desire, its hard to prove, and a pissed off company with more resources may be more willing to pursue that on the offensive side than one on the defensive one.
In fact I am surprised it hasn't already been used by terrorists on western soil. I don't see how one can protect a VIP against a drone loaded with explosives flying quickly.
With the amount of junk that's on there nowadays, it's even easier to 'quit Facebook'. The Messenger app makes it easier to do so.
You actually don't owe the state anything if you can't afford health insurance. So similar to income tax, you can choose not to work and you won't have to pay the penalty.

And of course, it's not by birth, you owe nothing if you're dependent on someone else.
Alchemy is doing all the NLP. Each article is extracted for concepts and entities (as defined by Alchemy in their documentation). I normalize each term that is extracted in order to prevent duplicates (there are some duplicates that still sneak through so it still requires a little bit of data maintenance). So the way this looks is that their is one node for a term say "Machine Learning." In one article "Machine Learning" is a concept with a negative sentiment and high relevance and another article it is an entity with low relevance but positive sentiment. The relationships house the sentiment and relevance properties: (machine_learning)-[relevance,sentiment]-(article).

The suggested readings sections pulls the most relevant concept of that article and finds connected articles with the same concept at a high relevance. This way suggested articles are more than just key word hits. It's all about relevance. I'm still continuing to tweak this query and there's a lot more that can be done with it such as matching sentiment and emotion. As the dataset grows I'll look to add a feature that pulls a list of articles based on a cluster of highly associated entities.

As for Alchemy, I've tried a number of different NLP APIs and, in my opinion, none of them have come close to matching Alchemy's accuracy. It does make mistakes but at a low enough level that it's easy to manually correct.
Choosing to not be insured is unsustainable for our economy the moment you have an issue and need a doctor.

Some of the counter-measures shown seem to rely on the aircraft needing connectivity with the remote control in order to operate. For example, some of the videos show that by blocking RF, the aircraft slowly descends to the ground.

I see this as a problem, because many drones/UAVs can be configured with waypoints and "loss of connectivity" logic. You can configure drones to fly a set of waypoints and continue doing that, even if connectivity is lost.

This is really concerning, and I think the article points this out saying that countermeasures are way behind the attack vectors.

Muslims are the primary victims of terrorists groups. They would be very happy to be rid of the likes of ISIS and Al Qaeda.

I don't agree. We got here because Western institutions and ideas were causing dramatic and rapid social change in the Muslim world, and inspired a violent counter-reaction.
How will you ensure that paramedics won't take you to the hospital if you have a sudden event in the street?
They might not, but they are probably lobbied by doctors, hospital administrators, and insurance executives, all of whom are likely to at least skim the top medical journals.
Chemical Laser is probably a better option than an EMP.
So you're suggesting there's something analagous to the Ballmer Peak but for pot?
The only thing that can be a problem on OS X, and I do mean ONLY thing that I've run into, is some games don't scale at all. So you'll open a game that draws into its window (I recently experienced this with Shenzhen I/O) and everything in the window is rendered like you had one to one pixel scaling. It works perfectly, everything is really tiny.

If you put it in full screen the monitor gets adjusted and it's not an issue.

At the same time other games don't have the problem. For example I've been playing Stardew Valley and it works perfectly fine in windowed mode looking exactly the way you'd want it to.

But normal applications based on UIKit and not a GL surface or something else like that? It's perfect.
so i shouldnt have the right to choose?

Just to be sure - if you show up at the hospital w/o means of payment - even if in coma - are you going to be treated? If yes, then you have insurance and you're free-riding on the system. If no, then you're more barbaric than Reagan.
That's not a sustainable choice for our economy, it leads to too many people living like nothing could possibly go wrong until they need a doctor. The point of insurance is to distribute risk, not participating in that effectively negates the effectiveness of the industry.

I was a manager. I cared a lot about keeping my people. I'd have fought for them if they told me they were leaving. I also wouldn't interview anyone who's average stay was around a year - that advice is awfully dangerous and can get you in a "don't bother screening" resume pile.
I agree with your assessment here. However, I didn't want to voice it because it would lead to a less that savoury place, like other drone threads have.

But I do appreciate the irony that a weapon when wielded from one side is an effective platform for swift and immediate justice & retribution, but when eventually wielded by the opposing side, is suddenly an evil, sneaky and underhanded thing indeed.
Both sides have been actively using cheap off-the-shelf drones in Ukraine as well, although it seems to be mostly used for recon and sniper spotting there - I haven't heard about any cases like in this video.

The Windows Subsystem for Linux should work well for DevOps work that involves administering remote machines, rather than local VMs; I use WSL + Ansible to control AWS VMs semi-regularly. You won't be able to do things like run local Docker instances through it though; Docker on Windows is still done through VMs (afaik).

WSL devs are pretty communicative; I've filed issues on GitHub and had them resolved; I won't say it's the fastest process in the world, but you can actually communicate with them and they do fix bugs, which is more than I can say when I've filed tickets with Apple. They also have a user voice where you can see what people are asking for that doesn't work yet: https://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/266908-command-prompt-con...

If you already have the computer you should definitely give WSL a try.

I wonder how Filetea works. Their server does act as intermediary but apparently doesn't cache the file; still, my computer was online with the Filetea tab showing the file still open (but in the background). They refer to leecher and seeder so at least they are inspired by P2P file sharing networks.

This should be easier. Technically, there's no reason typical end-users couldn't anonymously and easily share files on a one-to-one basis. Maybe there is an easier way; I just hardly ever have to do it.

For 8 years, this man had the option to walk humanity back from the threat of hair-trigger, launch-on-warning nuclear armageddon.
