the threat model for hiding from spectrum analyzers is not 10+ miles in a van doing 60 mph. With the resources of a nation-state at the disposal of the spectrum analyzer operators (Iran, China, Ethiopia) it will look more like a person walking around a neighborhood with a portable spectrum analyzer and horn antenna. Multiply by however many people are needed to canvass a metro area in a reasonable amount of time.

With the resources of China, spending $15,000 per spectrum analyzer kit x 8 kits, plus training, is a tiny drop in the bucket compared to the amount of money and effort they are currently spending on IP cameras that feed into facial recognition systems, etc.
Not really, but I'm writing C code and reading the asm with the expectation of seeing exactly the asm I expect. About the only major thing I want from the compiler is register allocation and scheduling, but it's way more maintainable to let the compiler make these decisions based on its machine model than have me do it.

Note that I'm a heavy user of intrinsics and SIMD, so I'm writing a lot of code where I've pretty much already done instruction selection, often at algorithm design time.
Your earlier post seems to intimate that technological leaps like this precede the start of wars, but your follow up comment intimates that technological leaps like this help win wars, and now I'm not sure I'm exactly following which one is supposed to be your central point to this.

Correct and in this case, that was exactly what happened except with the GSuite benefiting.

There was a number of Google Sheets that were automatically populated by database queries on an hourly basis. These were regularly viewed by the L1s (such as daily orders, distribution statistics, accounting summaries) and the Sales team (who wanted to know their commissions ASAP daily).

Then you had a bunch of managers who used those sheets to do light analysis with macro magic.

There is another way of looking at this. This executive is the only one being charged even though there were other executives with similar breaches. It appears that Equifax is allowing him to be charged to placate the public anger. Hence, the phrase "little guy takes the fall".

I will offer the outsider's perspective. I didn't know which form it was going to take, but I expected this for quite a while. What is really happening here is a brilliant kind of targeting of the most tech savvy folks (most likely to be prolific on social media) - you know, that pesky immigrant group who not only easily make more than the median income of the natives, but the ones who are most likely to be law abiding (and against whom the usual slander such as "rapists" will not stick). This is the group which most infuriates the native underclass in all societies when the society starts facing economic turmoil.

To all immigrants who went to the US on such a visa (e.g. H1) - take this as a distant warning and make a plan B to leave the US. This story does not have a good ending and it has happened too often in history. There may be a lot of native folks wringing their hands and even offering their support (which is welcome of course) but the underclass is generally too economically ignorant to ever listen to them.
I have also been told that the steering column for power steering is not as strong because the design loads are lower.

I can't confirm but according to the ESTA site[1], "an approved travel authorization is not a visa. It does not meet the legal or regulatory requirements to serve in lieu of a United States visa when a visa is required under United States law".

Therefore if the social media details become a requirement for visa applications only, then ESTA would theoretically be exempt. Having said that, social media is currently an optional field on the ESTA form so the foundation has been laid.

People that keep comparing FB to Myspace simply don't understand scale.

Having 2 billion users is not a 1000x better than having 2 million ones. It's more like a million times. The network effect compounds non-linearly.

Facebook (the company) is here to stay. Even if the product is gone, they own 2 other multibillion dollar social networks: Instagram and WhatsApp.
if you're an automaker, why risk not following cleaner standards even if not legally obligated? the probability of the next administration enforcing stricter standards is very high, so might as well get a head start rather than save a few $ today and be left unable to compete 4 years from now due to R&D + mfg stagnation.

Most of the things I'm aware of just came up on HN, reddit, twitter, or in podcasts.

The best approach I've found is just to follow popular designers (on twitter, podcasts, etc). When they talk about something cool, dig in and learn who made it, and follow that person to see what cool things they talk about. Repeat.

Maybe start with @brad_frost and @vlh.
You definitely make some good points. I think my issue here is not so much just the goal orientation, but rather goals that will directly advance other interests simultaneously. Again getting back to the point that funding since funding is limited, it seems like it would make the most sense to think of the big picture with that funding rather than thinking in the short term of what would be neat to do with their current funding?

So to make this more clear, one reason I think what SpaceX has already achieved and especially what they plan to achieve is so revolutionary is because of how it would impact other programs. Like you mention one of NASA's big goals is a sample return mission. And this is going to be highly complex and highly expensive. The OSIRIS-REx mission mission is a billion dollar, 7 year mission to get 0.1-2kg of debris from an asteroid that comes within 0.0002AU of Earth with a 6 year period. That's really not reasonable. These missions would be trivialized with technologies such as the BFR. Such technology would also enable vastly greater scope and scale of these sort of missions. A Uranus orbiter will provide some science that might have some value, but it's not really advancing anything. The chance of revolutionary discovery is practically 0, and it will be unlikely to have a meaningful effect on future missions or projects.

Basically it feels quite odd that we're using technology that is comparable in both price and capability to what we were using the 70s. It's quite peculiar, and I think this has been the major hold up in us achieving much more in space. Imagine for a minute that it's 1969. We've just seen live footage of men walking and driving rovers on the moon. And I tell you that in 50 years NASA's vision for a flagship mission will be sending a probe to Uranus. And no man would ever leave low earth orbit again after 1972. Wouldn't you say something has gone very wrong? And this wrongness continues to persist, and I think it is because of this 'Well I have $x. What should I spend it all on?' as opposed to aiming for directed evolution and progress.

I followed this closely and thank you for pointing out the cost implications per house connection. While that's a significant amount in the USA,it's far monstrous in the developing countries/rural areas;which from this forum are touted as the major targets of the SpaceX system. Do you see a way of reducing this cost that can practically serve a rural town in, for example, Africa? (I'm from East Africa and trying to make sense of what this new development means for local ISPs)
Are you sure the information about his search history came from Google, as opposed to IT network logs or forensic examination of his computer?

The complaint makes reference to "Ying’s internet browsing history" which sounds more likely to be one of the latter...
Here's one way I could see this killing Comcast, even in major cities:

As a homeowner, you by a small box which lives under the eave of your roof. The box has high-bandwidth, low-latency satellite uplink to SpaceX which gives you your internet.

The same box also has a terrestrial wireless repeater which serves the local neighborhood. Internet is available through your "tower" to neighbors and passers-by. You and SpaceX split the revenue from the traffic.

Basically, it's like a solar roof, but for internet. Photons/bits rain down from space onto your roof, and you sell the energy/bandwidth back to the local area for a price that amortizes your investment.

In areas very poorly served by internet, or with very poor broadband choices, there could be an especially strong financial incentive to be the guy on your block with a SpaceX repeater.

It would certainly scale a lot better than every house having an uplink-- customer connections are instead concentrated into micro-regional nodes. If there's a node in your area, you buy internet from them. If there's no node around, you invest in becoming one.

This could drastically decentralize and cheapen internet across the globe, if done right. It could be extremely disruptive to telecoms, and profitable for SpaceX.

> Scott Pruitt, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, is expected to frame the initiative as eliminating a regulatory burden on automakers that will result in more affordable trucks, vans and sport utility vehicles for buyers

I don't understand why the head of the EPA has any business in making trucks, vans, and SUVs more affordable for buyers.
Exactly. One of the big concerns for me is the extent to which their work-in-isolation approach has baked in untested market and design hypotheses. By the time they test them in the real world, it could be too late to recover.

I think one of the superpowers a startup has is that early on nobody gives a fuck what you're doing, so you're free to iterate quickly and boldly. You find out which of your brilliant ideas are brilliant and which are big mistakes.

Magic Leap's hype/secrecy combo really cuts against that. Apple gets away with that because a) they have more money than God, and b) they mostly enter markets after other people have broken trail for them (e.g., iPod, iPhone, Apple Watch).

It's perfectly plausible that Magic Leap will come out with an interesting but fatally flawed product, like the Amazon Fire Phone or Google Glass. Amazon and Google can shrug and move on, but Magic Leap may not have the cash to recover.

Or, possibly worse, they come out with something like the Segway: really interesting tech that everybody is excited about, but with little practical use once we get past the gee-whiz phase. For a company that has already raised $2.3 billion, that could be fatal.
It's a meaningless comparison. GDP is annual. Market cap is supposed to represent all future income in perpetuity at a discount. It's like comparing the annual income of person A to the net worth of person B.

Leaked memo: Facebook executive describes consequences of growth-at-all-costs
Here are several thoughts, you may disagree with them, but they attempt to convey why some people would oppose these sorts of regulations:

An easier to see example is with dishwashers and toilets. The new generation of toilets created by EPA regulations has made toilets that don't really flush very well and are more expensive than before; people end up flushing multiple times which then wastes water. You pay a premium for the privilege of a less effective toilet.
Same thing happens with dishwashers; politicians aren't always very good at engineering constraints.

Just because a law applies to all people in your country's market doesn't mean it is market friendly. You may be handicapping everyone equally, but still handicapping the engineering with regards to reality and physical constraints.

If the US regulates itself into having a difficult time making or using working/economical cars, then other countries can more economically create better cars (which people would argue already happens; American cars have a terrible reputation) or having better transportation networks using better transportation.

You could end up having really clean cars and horrifically expensive logistics. Maybe, maybe not, but just letting the market be more adaptive is usually a good course.

Yes, I’m not fully sold on VR yet either. Perhaps the problem is most VR experiences more or less try to convince you that your real body is in a virtual world, and this leads to an uncanny sensory valley with today’s tech: the tracking is never quite right, the resolution never high enough, and some NPC will alway manage to break your immersion.

So instead of VR, I’ve focused on exploring alternate experiences of reality. And these experiences somehow never feel broken, even when they clearly are. Last fall for example, I brought a pair of oversized eyeballs that wirelessly stream video to a headset to a maker faire. The eyeballs worked great in my apartment but wireless difficulties on site caused latency spikes of over 1 second. Imagine: a full second between you moving one of the eyeballs and your view updating. Horrible. That would never fly for VR but people seemed to love this setup even with the delay. In a way, the delay became part of the new reality that the device presented.

And this is what excites me: the possibility of exploring new realities, realities beyond normal human experience. Not just fantasy worlds, but entirely new ways of being and sensing and understanding (the example I keep returning to is synesthesia). Truly being able to realize that vision is a long way out but current tech let’s us get the slightest of glimpses at what this future could hold. And this is what scares me: that the new realities we create will be reflections of us as we are today

Am I missing some nuance of insider trading law, or is it just that easy to get away with it?
