I personally don't really intend to buy any cars with a wireless network connection. I don't know how much longer that will be possible.

Not very. In many areas, it is either already a regulatory requirement or about to become one that any new vehicle implements an automatic system that will notify emergency services in the event of an accident where no-one on board is able to call for help, sending information about the location of the vehicle and the nature of the accident. That inevitably requires both remote communications capability and integration with some of the other safety-critical systems in the vehicle. While this particular application may be a worthy goal that will genuinely save lives, the architecture it implies will inevitably also be more at risk of security vulnerabilities than an entirely disconnected vehicle.

> airport

Airports have everything from huge IoT systems managing the climate of the terminals, thousands of monitors for public information, controls for automated baggage handling, traffic/parking management sensors, vast sewer systems with sensors to manage storm/sanitary/glycol recovery/water, security systems (tens of thousands of cameras/doors being monitored), and then hundreds of smaller systems doing everything from managing ground transportation through to emergency dispatch.

I'm not sure it's even feasible to air gap all of that - the loss of productivity and additional cost would be far greater than the perceived security risks. Airports typically don't have large IT departments either, they outsource much of the work to consultants and cloud solutions. Critical systems should be, and are, air gapped but if something took out some of the systems connected to the internet it would be chaos.

One random aside... I work at an airport and did a tour of the ATC tower when I started. One of my first questions was how do they handle a loss of critical systems for landing planes. They proudly whipped out a massive signaling light (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_light_signals) and explained how they use it. I actually found it quite reassuring that despite all of the technology they clearly had contingency plans in place.

I understand that _most people_ aren't going to need big processors. But truth be told, I had a lot of trouble finding something that even had a remotely good processor that didn't start over $1200. It feels like a lot of laptops marketed toward professionals are now coming with ULV, and that makes it hard to find laptops that are actually suitable for my heavy usage. (I since switched to a desktop because of this exact problem.)

But, now that you pointed it out, the T470p looks excellent. Browsing their site, I would've never found this, or at least I certainly didn't a while back when I was in the market.

Similar to this, I didn't patch my OS X laptop for something like three months because the darn update was a firmware update. It said something along the lines of "Make sure your laptop doesn't lose power, and make sure you have a full backup before starting." Uh-huh. I do have a full backup, but clicking that "Later" button was far more valuable than dealing with the 0.001% chance of disaster.

And I'm a security guy. If I don't care enough to update every day, what do other people do? (There's not much reason to keep a personal laptop up to date when you're not interesting enough to be targeted and not in the habit of running random internet programs. Or rather, a few months of lag is fine, as long as you're paying attention to what the updates are for.)

I think we just don't like to acknowledge the fact that updates sort of suck, yet we bash people and shame them for not doing them. I mean, we don't have many other tools to force them to update, but surprise surprise when people are just concealing the fact that they don't update at all. Even in corporate settings.

I'm not an expert by any means, but for VDSL2, I think you only need to get the DSL login data (username and password) and then your modem will work. I used a friend's login details when I bought a different modem and my provider didn't give me my DSL login. But it's all linked to the physical port on the DSLAM so that you cannot get faster speeds or anything like that.

They simply just made up facts to suit some story. Complete with James Bond like names - "Fancy Bear" and such. They seem pretty biased against Russia for whatever reason. It would be nice there was some other evidence for the "Russia hacked out elections" story. Otherwise what started as a great propaganda campaign will be running out of steam soon. Or maybe it already has.

> It is not a case of "Oh look! a shiny object" but "Oh no! We are building an obsolete business".

Why? Even when driverless cars are standard, why does Uber need to spend the money building their own driverless car program, instead of just buying driverless cars from the manufacturer like the rest of us will do? Their business plan doesn't require them to build the technology, just use it. It would be like if Miss Cleo in 2003 foresaw the future was smartphones, and thought the best way to proceed was to start her own smartphone manufacturing company—instead of just making sure that she could get called from the smartphones that others were going to make.
Strewth. You'd sound like a flamin' galah.
I am playing around with an idea like this for editing Clojure in Emacs with cider-mode. You have to manually build the 'thread' that such a code unravel-er would return, but then you can read and edit functions from many files in one buffer. You start with the highest-level function you are interested in, and then pull the definitions of functions it calls into view as needed.

Platforms should maybe get better at differing security patches from other types of updates to help make the choice easier. But, I suppose, at a certain point any sufficiently old setup is simply no longer supported because it becomes too difficult to align the security patches with old versions.
Oh yes, it was right there in the log. Whoever that was is probably still trying to wrap their head around that it actually happened (and checking with an accountant because the IRS will be wanting a little chat).

You have to prove the chain goes back to force/fraud. People are presumed innocent unless proven guilty. Moreover, most types of property are not naturally occurring, and simply claimed, like land is. They are man-made and much more likely than land to have a chain of voluntary transfers linking their creation to their present possessor. You're making sweeping generalisations about those with wealth and making weak arguments to justify it.

What is the vid you send supposed to show?
The article states that the judgement is regarding copyright infringement on 100 articles and the damages awarded are $15 million.

It also notes that 28 million articles have been downloaded, so perhaps the true damages according to law, if all downloads were considered, should be 28e6*15e6/100 = $4.2 trillion.

I wonder, how many of the 100 articles, or the 28 million for that matter, were written by staff at Elsevier? Well the number is zero articles of course. Then we might ask, how many of the 100 articles or the 28 million articles were written by anyone for whom Elsevier financially compensated? Again the number is zero articles of course. Yet Elsevier, who neither wrote nor paid for any of these articles they claim copyright to, is entitled to $4.2 trillion in damages.

We might also ask, how many of the 28 million articles downloaded were done so by people who if they had not found it on scihub would have paid the $28 or $39 or $179 1 day or 3 day or 7 day "access pass" to read the single article? Perhaps it is a few. Perhaps before scihub there were up to dozens of people a month buying these access passes, across the many millions of articles Elsevier claims to own despite them never having authored them nor having financially compensated the authors.

Scott Forstall and Original iPhone Team Interview [video]
This looked like one sizeable market sell that wiped out a large portion of the buy orders on the book, leaving the remaining buy orders starting the way down at ~$210. This (somewhat predictably) triggered a bunch of people's stops, causing their ETH to be sold at market and pushing the price down even further, triggering more stops, and so on and so on. People should really have paid attention to that not-so-fine print when GDAX added stops because it clearly said that they'd cause a market trade, meaning that if you set a stop to trigger at $250, you would not be guaranteed to get $250, but instead get whatever the highest remaining orders on the book would be.

(Disclaimer: I am not a market specialist, I just read carefully before I go clicking on things.)
I dunno. We're a seriously automated country. Food processing and refrigeration plants are designed around robots and those robots are controlled by (hypothetically) bricked computers. Even if we had the volunteers, the floor just isn't designed to hold them, it's designed for 2 ton hunks of metal that don't move anymore. How do you feed 320 million people? 20 years ago, we had around 50 million fewer. How do you deliver the food to them when automated fuel pumps no longer work and security systems no longer open doors and gates? What happens when the water purification plants stop? I mean our society is built around Just-In-Time delivery; what happens when almost every node in that system fails?

> Moreover, most types of property are not naturally occurring, and simply claimed, like land is.

All tangible (real or personal) property is (or rather, is relation created in law to something which is) either naturally occurring like land, or the result of action applied to such a naturally occurring item.

Intangible personal property is a pure creation of law at the expense of everyone else's freedom that doesn't apply to a tangible item.
>Exactly, Warlordism is the antithesis of voluntary interaction. It is not a buzzword, but a shorthand used since I'm not writing a dissertation but a (supposedly) brief comment.

And you're claiming voluntary interactions create a situation of warlordism, which is inconsistent with your admission that "warlordism is the antithesis of voluntary interaction". Your use of the word 'warlordism' is inflammatory/scaremongering.

>How long before someone or group of someones accumulate a critical mass of power, economic and/or violent? A surprisingly short time. And it happens every time.

There is no fixed 'critical level of wealth'. It depends on various factors, like what kind of system of government is in place.

In any case, you can't maintain a free society by violating people's right to engage in voluntary interactions, as part of your attempt to prevent income inequality.

It's a self-defeating proposition, as the very prohibition against voluntary interaction makes people unfree, and creates a master:

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/06/enforci...

Moreover, these prohibitions greatly exacerbate income inequality, as the Brookings link I provided earlier explains.

Finally, trying to prevent the takeover of the political system by the rich by preventing parties from accumulating large amounts of private wealth is like trying to stop your boat from sinking by boiling away the ocean. There will always be huge pools of private wealth, and many that are outside the jurisdiction of your government. The solution is to plug the holes in the boat's hull, to prevent money from affecting electoral results. You should think outside the box, like considering the Athenian democracy model, which employed assemblies specifically to protect against corruption by wealthy interests.

Argentina's economic history is ridden with political catastrophes.

Even the period of liberalism in the 1880-1920's had plenty of issues: indentured servants, borderline slavery. Workers protests were met with violence and murder by officials.

Argentina has had a military coup every couple of decades in the previous century, which included entire presidencies with unelected officials, culminating in a coup that killed between 9000 and 30000 thousand people.

The lack of political stability can explain the problems in all other areas, like ineffective justice or economic stability.

> Most organizations contain people who can be tricked, bribed, or accidentally hire an adversary.

I've been thinking about this all week. I discovered a fairly big vulnerability in our software the other day that allows anyone in the company to access data they shouldn't, not national secret level data, but enough that it could be somewhat valuable. We also have a number of people of a certain nationality that's somewhat hostile to the west, many of those people are programmers.

How would you differentiate incompetence that lead to the vulnerability from maliciousness that intentionally caused it?
If you believe someone, that means you think what they said is true.

In this mindset you've setup a guilty until proven innocent framework because in your mind you already believe to be true any accusations leveled at someone.

When someone levels an accusation, the only belief you should hold is that it's a serious accusation that needs further investigation because someone has risked a lot by leveling it.

Believing anything that comes out of someone's mouth to be true when there are massive consequences to their words is unethical.

>It's fine for people to say "I think he did it, but the prosecution didn't prove it, and so I found him not guilty."

You cannot believe someone to have done something and personally believe that the person is not guilty. They may not be guilty under the framework of the law, but you are still treating them as guilty in your mind. If you worked with the accused and you had a strong sense of ethics, you would never treat that person the same way again, even though the accusation may have been proven to be fabricated.

It is unethical to take accusations at face value that will ruin people's lives.

You neglect to mention the fact that we are so used to seeing 24 fps that anything above it doesn't look like a movie.

Why do home videos have that "home video" look? The biggest reason is the 60 fps frame rate - it just doesn't feel cinematic. Even the 48 fps of the Hobbit films felt too "lifelike" and not cinematic enough.

A lot of prominent directors, as you've mentioned, say they'd like to move towards a world with higher frame rates. But that'll be a bitter pill to swallow for a viewing public that unconsciously believes "cinema" means 24 fps.

3D in particular is very difficult to watch at frame rates as low as 24 fps - a big reason it makes so many people nauseous, and a big reason so many directors are saying we need higher frame rates.

High resolution may not be a huge positive but it is definitely not a negative. There's nothing inherently cinematic or better about low resolution like there is about 24 fps, and if excessive sharpness feels jarring in a scene, the cinematographer can elect to use a lens with a softer focus.

And the strobing effect you mention - unless we're talking 3D (where motion blur feels wrong), a low shutter rate and consequent good amount of motion blur easily avoid strobing.

It's not just that, ride sharing apps allow anyone to turn their own personal vehicle into a taxi, and work their own hours. This massively increased supply, rendering the fixed medallion taxi monopoly irrelevant. Uber Pool and Lyft Line further increased supply and drove down prices.

Add to that the incentives induced by the rating system and fares determined before you hail the ride, and you also get a far superior riding experience.

So no, the innovation here wasn't just that the hailing is done via an app. This alone would not have spurred the dramatic improvements we've seen.
