Except that I am almost 100% certain [1] that they are using the RS9113 which as I suspected IS updateable (in some cases wirelessly) [2]. In fact in the Linux Firmware tree they have multiple firmware images depending on how you want the device to function. [3]

>The host MCU can update the RS9113 module FW over UART using the kermit protocol or over SPI using the proprietary binary protocol. The default UART baud rate is 115200 kbps 8N1 with xon/off or no flow control. For baud rate >900000, hardware flow control must be used. Refer to the WiSeConnect PRM for more info - the "Upgrading the Firmware in Module" section discusses the SPI mode and "Firmware Upgradation" section discusses the UART mode.

Why Aliens and Volcanoes Go Together (2014)
Here’s why so many data scientists are leaving their jobs
What do you mean by, "I know too much about cybersecurity which is good for my end users, but bad for my feature productivity"?
I can’t help but wonder if Theranos’ tech really was that good and they got crushed by big medicine? It really doesn’t seem all that far fetched to me.
I visited your site, I have no use for GPS trackers but I can say that the responsiveness and design are remarkable, good job!
While I don’t disagree that many shows are made in Canada because it’s cheaper, the fact remains that the CRTC requires something like 30% “CanCon” in order to permit carriage (TV) or coverage (sat radio) in Canada.

Canadian-focused channels were a specific requirement for Sirius to sell radios in Canada. Before that, there were no Canadian channels, and people would import Sirius radios from border towns.
I've lived/worked in Seattle for 15 years. It's a nice place. There are interesting things that happen here.

I really like the sun though, so the 9 months of gray and dark are hard. I often fantasize about leaving, but I think a tropical vacation in April can really help that.

Affordability is still much better in Seattle. You still have a (small) chance of buying a house here, depending on income. My career opportunities have been solid.

I'm a little sad that I missed out on the Bay Area Experience in my younger years. If I had things to do over again I think I'd work in the Bay for 2-3 years first, then leave. At this point I'm never moving there because the cost of living is too high with a family.
I think most are less obnoxious about it.

Americans are forced by law and convention into living a very specific kind of life. Lots of things they do and "own" require substantial investment of money and time. A regular (not minimum) wage is calibrated to just barely take care of all that, and modern marketing specializes in "educating" our tastes so that we can really tell the difference between e.g. $18k and $28k automobiles, to keep us on that treadmill even when we have plenty.

Although on average they are poorer, residents of India have a great deal more freedom with respect to the costs of everyday life. No matter how basic their housing, transport, clothing, food, education, safety, etc. may be, they can always trade down if their situation or preference changes. Many lives lived happily in India would be largely illegal in USA.

Car makers were vehemently opposed to seatbelt requirements, and actually sent women after Ralph Nader in an attempt to discredit him when he was advocating for it:

Auto makers are also far less vulnerable to being unseated by startups than tech companies, due to the capital intensive nature of their business and the maturity of their market.

That could be useful, I suppose. Although to be honest, it's likely to be used to erase bad behavior that we'd rather have public much more than any legitimate privacy concern, i'd guess.

What makes you think this is a new development? When many of these large companies got started Europe was still recovering from World War II, even up until the '90s and continuing today. Europe isn't problem free, but in the grand scheme of things certainly getting better.

The "digital evolution" article is just ridiculous. Sweden which is "receding" has had three exits of more than a billion dollars in the last 12 months. Switzerland which is a "stand out" has, as far as I can tell, one tech startup valued at a billion dollars ever. Both countries have similar population and history.

Let's assume your worst case scenario. Data is sold directly to insurers.

Unhealthy people pay more (kinda fair don't you think?). Healthy pay less. Some have additional motivation to get healthier, because "screw the old me, I don't care about that looser... but if I move a little I can pay less now? Tell me more!"

Average society healthiness increases. Even worst scenario is great.
Possibly a subtitle: It's never what you think it is. I've worked in embedded and real time environments before and optimisation used to be my thing, but I am always surprised at how badly I guess what the problem is. It's a hard lesson to teach other people though because programmers are smart and smart people tend to default to thinking that they are correct :-)

But you are right: even when you isolate where the code is slow, you've still got a lot of work to do to find out why it is slow.
It's pretty normal to bleed metal, since blood has iron.

Also, chlorophyll (what makes plants green) contains magnesium , which is a metal. "Mag wheels" are named after magnesium.

I've worked in client side businesses with marketing teams of 5-30 people, two of those in marketing. A lot of the day to day the marketing teams do is manage outside agencies who do the creative, ad-buying, events and present that up to the stakeholders. There obviously is strategy work which is pre-campaign and is what the more senior marketers do (even though this is the most emphasized part in uni.) There are a few more functions which are more likely to not be subcontracted like CRM (emails), content (blogs etc), analytics, social media management and corporate comms.

For your original question, the difference between this and advertising is an advertiser receives a brief and builds creatives appropriate to whatever channels they and the marketer choose.

This is my experience and a few marketers have disagreed with this - obviously it varies between companies.
Part of the problem is too much demand, and when something is free people do not respect it - bring in a small charge and it discourages frivolous use. I don't think this is a particularly earth-shattering extreme right wing observation.

I don't want anyone making huge sums out of healthcare either, though lets be honest, Labour didn't exactly do a good job in controlling doctors' salaries, did they?
Possibly. But there are an awful lot of very young family members working on commercial farms.

That’s why rural states give drivers licenses to kids as young as 14 — so they can drive a tractor between fields.
Well out in the real world we recently lost of health care insurance. It has been replaced with a scam called HSA.

HSA is so bad they told us we needed supplemental insurance to cover our medical costs.

So a common workplace benefit has been replaced with a scam.

I don't hear any calls for HSA's for government workers.
Considering the strength of public sector unions I am not surprised..

Unions that used to benefit craftsmen were killed off.
Instead Teachers and Firefighters now make more money than people with an actual tradecraft.

All thanks to their unions.

So what was created to promote workplace safety for tradesman (Unions) has been distorted into a giant money sucking vortex.

What a country (My best Yakov Smirnoff impression).
Not at all. They are using their dominance to surface websites which provide a faster (and therefore better) experience to users. AMP happens to facilitate that, but if you're able to create a website that loads just as fast without AMP, it will probably rank just as high. I have yet to see proof that any AMP itself (beyond the benefits) is used as a factor to rank results.

Sadly, the reality is that the majority don't want to make the effort.
> Have you learned anything interesting from that?

No, the few I asked turned out to have as much data as I shared, which is almost nothing.

> Have you been doing that?

Yep.

> That was already a thing in the US:

Good to know.

> it's likely to be used to erase bad behavior that we'd rather have public much more than any legitimate privacy concern, i'd guess.

I'm not sure I agree with that, but I also don't agree that people's bad behaviour should remain public forever.

The modern hardware that followed in its footsteps the most was SAFE architecture now being commercialized as Coreguard. Originally, it protected the primitive operations like in Burroughs. They found a more flexible mechanism that supports many "micro-policies." Dover has it available several RISC CPU's. SoC builders take note! :)

I'm confused, I thought AMP was only for mobile (accelerated mobile pages). By regular version, don't they mean the regular mobile version?
We can, but I find people look at what we have today and make the assumption that this is all we do. When we are already in other markets that most people don't realize.

When we explain these other markets, they say "wow, you're spreading yourself thin".

So it's, yeah, we have a tiny market we focused on, these are the things that are coming up in the future, we have some growth in them now, they'll be huge later.

> I'm not absolving the plundering by US Telcos

Yes you are. Not sure what else you would be doing by making this sort of excuse.
Pretty much any regulation harms business. The smaller the business, the more toll new regulations usually have on it. The more regulations we enact, the more big companies grow and small companies die/not started. It acts like a positive feedback loop because the whole reasons for most regulations in the first place was to tame big evil corporations, which in the end usually benefit more from regulations (less competition). Also, consumer pays for any regulation costs anyway, so everything becomes more expensive with more regulation. It might not be immediately noticeable, but it's definitely the trend in the long term.

I'm not saying that we don't need any regulations at all, but I think we should strive to keep it to absolutely bare minimum.
Why I left the nano engineering program super fast. Come to find out, nobody hires for that. You can go into research only. While a traditional engineering degree can do research or thousands of jobs.
There is lots of horrible stuff on Tor .onion sites, yes. But there was a lot more of it a few years ago. Given general technical cluelessness, even among assholes, much of it was hosted by a few services. Such as Freedom Hosting. But it and some newer ones were compromised, run for a while as honeypots, and then taken down. There aren't really that many independent .onion sites with technically competent operators. Some of the hard-core child porn sites, perhaps, and some of the persistent dark markets. But who knows which of them are honeypots? I mean, PlayPen ran as a honeypot for months, with no interruption in the sharing of child porn, plus infecting users with phone-home malware.

It's not that there's a "magic decrypt button" for Tor. However, it's very likely that the NSA and GHCQ, at least, have some capability to identify Tor .onion sites and users. But they arguably don't want to reveal capabilities, and so are very careful about disclosing information. To some extent, that happens under programs like the DEA's SOPA. But on the other hand, recall that the NSA was cagey about revealing intercepts that could have prevented the 9/11 attacks. Or that charges against the Weathermen were dropped in 1973, after the (then unnamed) NSA got squirrelly about its intercepts being introduced as evidence.

Overall, I'm relatively confident that Tor isn't fundamentally backdoored. But there's no way to know what's going on with any .onion sites that you access. They could be FBI honeypots. Or Russian honeypots. Or independent criminal honeypots. You gotta treat them all as radioactive. As sources of malware and worse. That means at least using Whonix, running on a Linux host machine. And better yet, a dedicated host, used only for Tor and other iffy stuff.
lol, true. probably 3.11 too....

Not only that, but the opensource nature also means that any network not currently on there could also integrate easily, and many have.

>“It’s become one of the places for people in Silicon Valley, mostly because it’s not like Silicon Valley at all,”

Well folks, the writing is on the wall. Ask Denver and Austin what happened when people from CA figured out that their place was a nice place. I hope the kiwis enjoy it while it lasts. I'm only half joking here.

The article was a fun, if crazy, read. I guess the super-wealthy of silicon valley haven't figured out that survival when things get bad is heavily correlated with your social capital, something they don't seem to have much of. Being holed up in a bunker with a bunch of gold bars and guns won't help you if everyone outside hates you.
The article says it was found in 2002 and hasn’t been seen since 2007. Where did you read that?

> My main issue is that Google hosts your site and tracks all of your visitors directly

Sounds like your problem is specifically with Google's cache. Anyone can host an AMP cache. If you afraid of them tracking visitors, you're free to pay for your own hosting and host your own cache, instead of using their free one.

There are some streaming services that are available for the larger language groups, however to depend on the market is to depend on a series of happenstance circumstances that are sensitive to which companies decide to offer what. Only the government can ensure that each language is represented. The smaller the language group, the more that group could benefit from having some support from a legal mandate.
Genetics and Evolution is way overestimated. Environment and individual decisions play a much bigger role in someone's life than "thought to be" born features.
True. They should maybe consider breaking up their operation into 20 or so root certs.
Here’s another way to read this: to theorize about these hypothetical scenarios and how to escape is a way of displacing the fear and sense of responsibility that goes with the rampant inequality they have succeeded by. A nano machine uprising carries a lot less responsibility than an economy exorbitantly tilted toward a lucky few.

If SHTF, will the infrastructure be available for 6000+ mile flights?
Well, modern theoretical physics seems to be nothing but mathematics (mostly advanced differential geometry and group theory). And this is a good thing, as it is the sign of how far along the subject has gone in its evolution. The theory of differential equations also reduces to differential geometry, which is what Arnold’s book seems to be striving to show, as does his other excellent text on mathematical principles of classical mechanics.
I'm really struggling to see the need for a government postal service any longer. Compared to 20 years ago, 95% of what I would get in the mail is now delivered electronically. All my bills are paid electronically. I haven't sent a letter via post in recent memory. What I do get delivered by the postal service is frequently mis-delivered. I get first-class mail addresed to my neighbors at least a couple of times a month. Who knows how much of my mail simply disappears? The rest of my mail is junk: adverts and flyers that go straight into the trash, unread.
Maybe I ought to take another look at I2P. One thing that I don't like about it is how every user is a router. And every router is typically discoverable by every other router. That makes users stand out a lot more than Tor users do. Basically as much as Tor relays do. And then there's the scarcity of clearnet exits. And indeed, discrimination against them as bandwidth stealers.

Why do most articles from Bloomberg that make it to the front page of HN are about "the rich" somehow screwing over "the people"? Like, that's the only kind I see here.

Regardless, the article is BS clickbait. Just because two rich idiots bought bunkers in New Zealand doesn't mean everyone who has property there is preparing for some doomsday scenario.

Rich people stockpile batteries! Surely they they are planning for a world-wide proletariat uprising or bio-warfare Armageddon.

Assuming aviation fuel is available, and the runways are in working order, the USG hasn't shut down all flights, and you can actually get to your plane, then sure. But I don't think those are all a given if there is really a situation in America where people literally need to flee the country at a moments notice.
The model doesn't work in commodity ag, but no model really works for that in the long term. It always takes more capital. Farms have been failing (or "consolidating", if you prefer) for 150 years. The bogeyman didn't shutter those banks. The nonviability of buying a bigger combine and renting more land every couple of years shuttered those banks. Such a bank could have stayed open if at least once every few years its county was the only one in the Great Plains to get rain. That would have been a lucky bank...

I'm not sure what will disrupt commodity ag, but it sucks, and the sooner it transforms into something else the better. The most successful farmers I know now are raising goats for halal butchers. I'm going to start crossing my cattle with "wagyu" bulls. Don't sell commodities.
Hence there are processes in the EU to take care of due dilligence. I take EU over US any day.
Market cap is a pretty poor indicator of that. FAANG are so big mostly due to concentration and lack of competition in their sectors; EU antitrust/consumer legislation is more focused on providing consumer choice of businesses, whereas US antitrust is focused on competition of service.

I think that in the current environment, the US is swinging way too heavily to overconcentration, crazy unicorn valuations and hype.
