The article doesn't have a full list, it has a set of examples. The technet pages linked in the article don't have a full set of information either.

I have the distinct impression that regardless of settings, some data gets sent.

I also have the distinct impression that the data will be for sale - the usefulness of a good portion of the data is questionable and some would only be useful for application developers.

What the list does have enough of ... is enough information for adversarial parties to want to target it.

OK, it feels like something is missing here... What was your last job and the one before that? How long did you last on those positions? Why did you leave?

Also:

This sentence raises a red flag for me. It's hard to come off as genuinely friendly if your actual feelings are opposite.
It has 18 rotors (basically 3 on each of the corners of a hexagon, 6 in an inner circle, and 12 in an outer circle), each driven by its own engine.

Pairs of rotors on opposite sides are driven by 9 independent powertrains and batteries, so failure of one battery/powertrain induces not much asymmetry and poses no problem.

At least 4 rotors can fail and the aircraft still remains fully controllable.

Beyond that, there is a ballistic rescue chute (as in the Cirrus SR20/SR22 fixed wing aircraft), which you can't really have, by construction, in a traditional helicopter.
Oops, you're right on the first link. Sorry about that.

> On their own time and using their own device(s), presumably. Is this illegal?

Since they're discussing official matters, it's probably illegal. Federal employees are always covered by rules concerning their engagement with the press and public communications.

Just like if you spoke on behalf of your company and/or leaked internal information, they could definitely sue you and potentially get you arrested (depending on the details). When your employer are the Feds, they can usually skip the "sue you" step.

Do you really think a product can be built (for a reasonable price) which ensures that your genetic counselor does not get stupid questions from the consumers of the product?

That's like saying <My friend who works in tech support describes cheap computers as "bane of their existence">.
Because they're "not using the data". They would probably claim to be a dumb carrier(ala the postal service, even when mail is searched).
I have a mission-critical DLL with functionality I can't replicate due to patents. It's not about cost. It's due to the patent holder not wanting an alternative in the market place.
When it comes to net neutrality, all I can think of is what Jimmy Wales once said about the lesson he learned from Neupedia: "Don't make rules people are not breaking."

No one has really broken net neutrality principles yet. But there are ideas out there and innovation out there, where this net neutrality is turning out to be a hindrance to it all.

Why cannot cable company provide cable TV over cable Internet? Because of net neutrality! Why cannot T-mobile provide TV experience on its network for everyone without breaking its network? Because of net neutrality. Why cannot Verizon offer free stuff for its customers over its network? Because of net neutrality.

Net neutrality was not supposed to prevent ISPs from doing great stuff. It was supposed to prevent ISPs from making alliances with certain companies and enemies with other companies. It was supposed to prevent ISPs from harming innovation. It was supposed to prevent ISPs from hurting content providers and content types.

Yet, now it is preventing ISPs from offering better services.

I'm actually using a similar stack to you today -- redux + sagas, flow, json-schema.

However, in my experience, Vuex also has explicit stores and clear points for mutation -- Vuex stores are really clear and composable. It's also about 10 lines to get redux-sagas to working with Vuex.

If it weren't for react-native, I'd be pushing to use Vue + Vuex whenever possible. So I'm watching Weex with bated breath :) -- it's very cool that it's recently become an Apache Foundation project!
Kinda already have one. 451. Although stated for legal reasons I could see it's use here as well.

The concern for me is that a nuclear power plant and its associated spent fuel storage pools are a facility that requires an unwavering commitment to maintenance and upkeep by highly specialized personnel—not just for as long as you want power out of it, but for decades beyond.

Coal isn't like this. If you stop needing power, you stop feeding it coal, and the machinery can sit there idle, doing no further harm.

I'm not a coal-booster, but I absolutely see the concern about regime change and commitment to the safety of a nuclear installation. Between Trump and Brexit, how confident are we that even first world nations are capable of taking on the long term responsibility for such a project?

You raise an important point: human irrationality is as real as climate change. And probably more challenging.

We might more quickly tackle climate change by simultaneously tackling human irrationality.

Mobile on boarding and the things developers should know
Thanks for the informative reply.

A related observation, by the way, regarding programming languages: often it all sort of makes sense, and you can put stuff together that gets you the correct result without really knowing what's actually going on behind the scenes.

However, when you need stuff to go fast, then you really need to know the underlying runtime, execution model, memory model, etc. to find the incantation that's not only right, but efficient.
This supposed cabal in the fossil fuel industry apparently extends to to the insurance industry. I can insure a gas fired plant, but not a nuke.

Maybe that is due to some fault in the way non-nuclear liability is calculated. Or, just maybe, the environmental and economic destruction that happens when nuclear plants suffer major malfunctions, especially when their operation is extended past the initial designed lifespan, is so large it is impossible to insure in a way that makes economic sense.
Absolutely. The difference now is that I'm less naive about what constitutes a good idea and what it would take to succeed. I'm better able to gauge the level of risk and the expected value of the likely outcome. That in turn makes me far less likely to jump at any particular idea. But I'd still quit in a heartbeat if the right opportunity came along.

Migration of Kallithea from Pylons to TurboGears2 Completed
I'm in the same boat as you are (subscribed to spotify less than a year ago). I was really disappointed when they removed the lyrics feature, it was pretty nice and now I have to resort to 3rd party services for that.

Like the parent I really would like to be able to complete my library with my own music files when I can't find something on Spotify. That would be massively convenient for me and it doesn't seem like it would be a massive hassle for them to implement (as long as they limit the maximum amount of storage to something reasonable). I'm sure many users would love to be able to add their own audio files and podcasts to their library to access them from their spotify client everywhere.

I would also really love if they added a truly random mode. I get that they try to have a "clever" shuffle mode that's supposed to avoid playing the same artist back to back and things like that, but for most of my playlists I don't actually need that and spotify ends up replaying the same tracks before it's exhausted the rest of the playlist. As a side effect it also seems to favor certain titles over others in my experience. Just give me an option to turn on "dumb" random mode and I'll be happy.

"Hi-Fi" mode is probably snake oil but I guess it'd make for a nice marketing gimmick. I'm personally perfectly content with the premium audio quality as it is currently.

I still don't plan on canceling my subscription but I'm mildly annoyed that in this past year I've seen features disappearing while nothing of great value was being added.
Looks cool, but: "This installation is compatible with Linux/Mac OS X and Python 2.7."

Sad face.
Also, that final OS support cost per laptop is total_dev_hour_to_support / number_of_machines_sold. So if the denominator is small, that can still be a big enough number to surpass $OEM_Windows_cost.

We (sadly) don't get the luxury of pretending the markets for Linux on laptop and Windows on laptop are identical except for the OS.
Ok cool, thank you. The contrast is actually not like an e-ink display, but under sunlight it becomes excellent.

Don't forbid your employees to write about obscure implementations. Every time management thinks that security by obscurity is just enough - there needs to be someone who can tell them otherwise and nothing cures it better than a public blog post on a technical subject. Think about it this way: you might get some feedback from people all over the world that can guide you with all sorts of valuable information for free.
Yes, you are right... different tech indeed! Works as a very good approximation of an e-ink frankly (I've a few kindle readers for comparison), but the contrast in artificial light is not as good as e-ink. Thanks! (and you are welcome).
The approach has a few tiers:

1. Use one stock that I believe I have unique and actionable data on as the input barometer. Take it as a premise that this stock is currently mispriced by the market, and I have an idea of what it should be. We'll call this the primary stock.

2. Find all stocks that have a consistent positive or negative correlation with the input stock, (do they share volatility?), at different significance levels. (This is not particularly hard, it's just getting accurate data with real granularity that is the challenge.) These are the corollary stocks. If there is a calendar event upcoming, I restrict the backtest to the values of other stocks on similar days.

3. For each correlated stock found, calculate an options model with a new terminal price distribution (as opposed to what is currently priced by market consensus).

4. Simulate different options trading strategies and their outcomes across different projected prices for each stock and present the ones with the highest probability of success versus return. At a minimum, the primary and corollary underlyings should have a large enough misprice that trading them can be profitable across the bid/ask spread. So for example, a $1 increase or decrease will not generally be meaningful enough to make the trade, especially if there is a lot of volatility priced in (such as around earnings releases).

You'll notice that there is nothing truly sophisticated about any of this. It's just a bunch of computation used to extrapolate the best leverage available using derivatives. The core thesis involves having material data that the rest of the market has not yet priced in, and I don't often have that (or rather, enough of a directional conclusion based on it). When I do, I like to do this because 1) I don't trust most profitability calculators which assume constant volatility and 2) it maximizes potential results by not just looking at the primary stock I know about.

tl;dr: Assuming one stock is mispriced, do a bunch of derivative re-pricing and choose an optimal one.
I'm most frightened by how frequently these types of things are happening, and how normal they're starting to seem.
Is that so? Here's the article's take!

> The so-called border search exemption means that the 4th Amendment’s requirement of probable cause does not apply to customs officials, and the practice of “detaining” cellphones began under the George W. Bush administration. But cellphone searches by the Department of Homeland Security have exploded in 2017 — DHS officials searched more phones in February of this year than in all of 2015. (Four members of Congress introduced a bill this week that would require agents to obtain a warrant before searching a U.S. citizen’s electronic device.)
Is this the most obscure trolling of the day?

> I intend to file no lawsuit, seek no apology

I don't understand this attitude.
Exactly. It's not like it's even going to be 'a devil in the details' kind of thing; once the mechanisms are built, they could be used securely or maliciously depending on any number of factors such as presets.

The engineer isn't necessarily going to get a play-by-play of the big picture - just what they need to know to get their part built - so expecting some moral stand against the final product they probably weren't part of the meeting on sounds absurd.

Obviously the concern with nuclear is not that it needs to achieve "zero deaths". That is a straw man argument. It's Chernobyl, Fukushima, etc. and waste.

"Net Neutrality" isn't even the name the name the pro-neutrality group at the FCC used: that was Open Internet.

Which, honestly, would be a better name for advocates to use, as well, though "net neutrality" is perhaps more precise.

It would get a lot more attention with headlines of "FCC chairman plans fast track repeal of Open Internet."

I know that there is racial profiling going on, and travel to certain countries will have higher numbers of individuals with certain ethnic backgrounds, but how often is this happening to middle-class white Americans? I used to travel a great deal but haven't done much over the past 5 years.

I remember being questioned for about 15 minutes on my flight from the UK to Paris back around 2008. My trip from the US to Turkey from 2013 was pretty timid, maybe 2 minutes of questions and a mandatory body scan (stopover in Amsterdam). From the US to South Africa completely painless. I did get my hands swabbed for explosive residue on a trip from Detroit to Las Vegas a couple years ago.

I'm just curious if anyone here has personal experience as a middle class white individual getting treatment as harsh as I read in some of these articles.
