Perhaps, how I said that was a bit ambiguous/unclear. However, the article is calling it clever. The research demonstrates a weakness with the communication layer. Just because it applies to drones(insert buzz word) does not make it a novel idea. I just find it funny that Wired is writing about it since it deals with drones, but I have read multiple other papers on the mis-application of compression and cryptography. Finding, flaws is important, I just feel like the article was kinda over selling the concept.
Adding IOT is just shameless pandering for clicks why not add bitcoin to it :-)

I helped build similar devices (custom S100 based systems) 30 years ago at BHR group for remotely monitoring experiments at remote sites and using sensors to monitor pipelines was standard back then.

There's a pretty strong literature around retraining just the top couple layers of a deep net to Target a slightly different objective.

That's just stupid. Obviously the product has some value for you or you wouldn't be using it, and telemetry is a practically zero effort way for you to help improve it.

Raising children has become complex because living in our modern society is complex. We are far from the times in which men went to hunt and women worked on the field or made various objects in the village and the elderly cared for the children.

Now we work 40h+ per week, not including the daily commute, the various appointments, the kids soccer game/karate lessons, helping them with their homework, doing various chores around the house, preparing meals, etc...

We have more comfort, luxury and product selection than ever, but there's a price to pay in terms of energy, time and money.
Is there an efficient solution to this? I'm relatively used to switching byte orders, but I've never encountered a situation where I needed to flip bit orders before. I could certainly do it with a bunch of shifts and ors, but that seems awfully inelegant for an interview question. (A quick search indicates that there isn't any instruction that makes this easier than bit twiddling, but I'm not sure if I'm missing something.)

Where would this be used in the real world?
Why even have full disk encryption then?
Spatial join performance and scalability is sensitive to tessellation geometry, particularly when dealing with polygons and other non-point geometries or if you have high precision requirements. The abstract join algorithms are similar but it is much more difficult to make them rigorously correct in the general case with hexagonal tessellations, and they'll never be particularly fast at scale.

One of the main reasons that equal-volume cubic tessellations have emerged as the default choice for high-scale analytical DGGS is that they are nearly optimal for scaling out spatial joins between arbitrary geospatial data models. And relatively optimal in most other regards as well, especially computationally; the primary "downside" is that they are 3-dimensional, which is slightly wasteful, though more and more geospatial analysis applications make good use of a direct 3-dimensional representation.
None of the articles I’ve seen make any mention of remote control on the Cruise AV. Or any other autonomous car.

If everyone stopped having children, well yeah. But you and I both know that that's not going to actually happen.

All I'm saying is that our current population growth is unsustainable and we're killing the environment. Until we adapt to only consume renewable resources, or at least sufficiently reduce our consumption of non-renewables, and stop pumping CO2 into the atmosphere, the best thing to do is slow down reproduction.

How to Make a Twitter Bot (or: How I Got Suspended from Twitter)
I have zero firsthand experience with it. This is a description I found:

"Bulletproof Coffee", a coffee drink with butter and medium-chain triglyceride derived from coconut oil.

Medium chain triglycerides are medically recommended for people with very serious gut issues, such as stomach cancer or cystic fibrosis. The last time I tried to find a handy source for that factoid, I couldn't readily do so. Suffice it to say I have CF and this is common knowledge in the CF community.

MCT oil is readily absorbed without having to be broken down. In fact, it can be absorbed topically. So it literally requires zero digestion to be put to use by the body. In some circles, this is interpreted to mean that it is valuable because no calories are wasted on processing it. My personal opinion is that detail is probably largely irrelevant and it is probably more important for other reasons that the process of digestion gets skipped.

MCT oil is also beneficial to gut flora. Additionally, the gut contains about 70 percent of your immune cells.

So if you have any kind of (possibly unidentified) gut issue or immune problem, the MCT oil may be beneficial for that reason. People who have such issues and discover MCT oil typically have glowing things to say about it.

If you don't have any such issues, you may not think it is anything special.

You can look up studies on the health benefits of coffee. I do freelance writing and have written a few articles on the topic. Among other things, it boosts performance if consumed an hour before your workout.

I have not specifically tried this coffee, but my firsthand experience is that caffeine plus healthy fats can do miraculous things for me when I need it. I used to eat butter sandwiches with lots of diet coke when I had a lot of pain. The combination of two chemically significant foods can have a multiplier effect.

Having said that, I imagine that someone in generally good health will likely find it yawn worthy at best, if not downright revolting. My condition is better than it used to be. I cannot possibly choke down half to three quarters of a stick of butter anymore, which I used to do pretty often.

A good practice is start a food journal. Keep it for a bit to establish a baseline. Introduce one and only one change to your diet. Track it for a couple of weeks minimum. This is the best way to see if it does anything for you in specific.

You're right. The future belongs to the descendants of those who have children. But you're attacking a strawman by ignoring what he's actually replying to.
Many over-arching issues come from using a language that isn't designed for your use case. For example, writing any programs that require speed to be your goal are not programs I'd recommend Python for.

Other languages also have advantages in certain areas, e.g. Node.JS lets you reuse the same code on the server-side and client-side, something which is great for those wanting to right games that require the server to simulate them and the client to run them.

Even if the language is rarer, say C or C++, there are still many circumstances where it is better to use those than it is to use Python.

I do not foresee any language to be able to be easily usable in every use case, the generality itself would be a drawback for specific user case. There is a reason there are currently dozens of popular programming languages out there.
Compress, and then encrypt can be quite devastating if the attacker can insert data into the encrypted payload.

For instance, let's say I can insert any word into an encrypted message. Let's say I insert the word "THE". I can compare the size of the two messages one with the inserted "THE", and the one without. If the size instead of increasing by three bytes increases by less than three. I can be certain the word "THE" is in the message or at least some of the characters. I can keep doing this till I can extract useful information out the message.

This is just the same thing. Video that is static compresses well, but video with lots of change does not compress as well.

So the camera basically let's you insert extra information into the encrypted data stream. Based of the changing size it leaks info. This one is quite simple. It just tells you where the camera is looking, making the scene more dynamic. However, the issue of compression and encryption applies to much more than just drones.

Hi Andrew - You went to school for chemistry and chemical engineering. I'm still experimenting with ideas for binary codes of succinct/implicit geometric representations for similarity graph embeddings of non-spatial property data like text and numbers. I keep bumping into the crystallography literature -- the traditional lattice structures and also quasicrystal / fibonacci chain representations. How much of your chemical engineering background have influenced your designs?

You could use a bidirectional ring network and have ptp wifi (canals tend to be mostly straight) as a back up and use GSM or sat phone as a tertiary backup.

It is common knowledge that a pair Earth stakes will pick up a small amount of current.

Hobbyists have been using the idea for years to run small radios.

Likewise that same ground current will screw up Telegraphs (etc) which try to use an earth-return path.

The problem for large scale energy harvesting is that the Earth is conductive, so any voltage differences are shorted out by the Earth itself and dissipated as heat.

To put it another way, the Earth is a lossy medium, so any signals are heavily attenuated by distance.
The problem is that we have been running trade deficits for decades now, mean that most of the debt is spent on imported goods. This led to businesses with high profit margins that are designed to exploit debt, and the economy ended up being based on stocks going up for things like retirement (partly because other governments ended up buying US bonds). This is the main cause of things like Corinthian Colleges and ITT Tech going bad.

Yeah, small town is really nice to live in, with commercial zones nearby to get stuff from or have malls. Miles of houses with no green space sounds nearly as bad as the concrete. I don't think I've ever seen such a thing in person, though. I was thinking of where the houses are generally separated by a certain amount of trees/woods. It was easy to take for granted how nice of a place the Hudson Valley was to live until I had to move away in order to be within driving distance of my job. "All that is within me cries out to go back to my home on the Hudson River" is a quote attributed to FDR, and I really get where he was coming from nowadays.
That looks like just intangible assets. It doesn't seem to include land, buildings, vehicles, vessels, etc. The US Government is the largest landholder in the Western states. A single aircraft carrier is worth billions. Also, back when I took out a student loan, the government was merely a guarantor, which would be a liability. I wonder if they offset that. I think they need a more precise source citation.
The team don't choose the language, the problem does. I don't care if 50% or 100% want to use a language, you must use what is the best tool to solve the problem you have. And if you have to choose between several languages then you create a table to assess every language (knowledge of the language and easy to hire people in the future can be two points of that table), the language with better score is used.
Even lesbians choose whether or not to reproduce.
I don't think the link you posted helps your case that Moxie is "hammering the same points that every opportunity". The link shows that he mentions Telegram only a few times a year, often in response to a telegram-specific article, and the last time before this one being two years ago.

Maybe it would seem that way for someone who's religiously following what Moxie says, but that's sort of like complaining of hearing "you should charge more" too often if you're religiously following patio11.

I also think he made a valid point in his most recent post, and mentioning Telegram added valuable context to his argument.
Great programmers can be great in (almost) any language. Hating a language is generally a sign of inexperience. There are great programmers who hate languages, but the two don’t usually go together.

The choice of language can be important, but it should be done based on sound technical reasoning, not popularity or emotion. I would skip past both sides of this debate and try to make the decision on a technical basis instead.
Supreme growth study
These are opposite things:

> Because compression reduces the amount of data that needs to be transmitted, reducing network and battery usage

> Instead of filling the stream and having a constant stream size, you could just code the drone do add random bursts of data

You cannot simultaneously reduce network bandwidth and also increase it. Of course padding with noise increases bandwidth, but it's silly to do that when you could instead be padding it with more bits relevant to the video stream.

The vulnerability here isn't inherent to video compression; it's that the compression rate (and therefore network packet rate) is variable (so as to minimize global size of a video stream). It would not be that difficult to modify an encoder to guarantee fixed bit rate over whatever time chunk you want (depending on how many frames is tolerable to buffer before sending out), then send out those chunks at regular intervals.
They... don't.

The global shutter on the Nikon 6MP CCD sensor was really global, not like the rolling electronic shutter on a CMOS sensor. You got an all-at-once still, the electronic equivalent of a leaf shutter; the current scanning versions are basically a "no moving parts" version of a traditional focal plane shutter.
For every scientist (or philosopher) worrying about an ultimate theory there are thousands more concentrating on solving specific and less universal problems.

There seems to be a popular narrative that suggests that because it might not be possible to come up with an ultimate theory, that science is fundamentally flawed, and that we should just give into mysticism or whatever “alternative” theory the author proposes.

This is a straw man argument. Science doesn’t have to solve everything.

In farms in Ireland its typically Breakfast - Dinner - Tea. Where your main meal of the day (dinner) is around 12-1pm and the evening meal (tea) is light. Your occasional cup of tea before bed is supper.

Outside of farming people have their main meal (dinner) when they come home from their office in the evening. So the lighter meal in the afternoon becomes lunch and theres no tea.
