Vector Target Tracking

Aeryon’s Vector Target Tracking software automatically targets and tracks moving objects up to 3 miles away. The tracking algorithm adapts in real-time to changes in target shape and maintains a hold on the target even when its position changes or another object obstructs the view.

Higher energy = lower wavelength is not oversimplification. The formula is: photon energy is plank constan times speed of light divided by wavelength. You right - you don’t need gamma rays, but you cannot do it with low frequency radio waves. You need photons that energetic enough to break chemical bonds.
Regarding your second question: the "game" in which a C student doesn't do their part in a group project and the A student has to decide whether to do all the work by him/herself or to accept that the C student will turn in crappy work and both will get a B.

If you care less about the consequences of your action than the other part, you get an advantage. This is not really recommended as a negotiation strategy in the long run (it only works once, and the other person is now your enemy), but it's good to know it can happen.

The eye for an eye bit was in there[1], but apparently only for men of the same class:

>> Our awareness seems to shrink in direct ratio as communications expand; the world is open to us as never before, and we walk about as prisoners, each in his private portable cage.

This seems to be an evergreen phenomenon. The world today is more open and connected than it was in 1944, but with that openness has come an much greater capacity to live in a walled garden of our own making.

You're correct that the Linux support for 1Password is severely lacking, which is why I called that out in my evaluation.

LastPass, on the other hand, is in a different category. It _claims_ to have full Linux support, and for a long time they did, but more recently -- as you point out -- copy/paste in their browser plugins stopped working properly when the binary component of the plugin is enabled on Linux. Since the binary plugin component is required to work with attachments, Linux users have been forced to choose between working copy/paste and the ability to manipulate attachments. They've known about this bug for many months and have not fixed it. In fact, this is one of the unfixed bugs which drove us to finally evaluate alternatives to LastPass.
I believe the . is a typo, and it's 27 years. That also lines up with the date he gives for his death, in 1970.
Google Home stores everything after the hotword trigger until the light goes off (you stop speaking).

Each action has a card that explains what triggered it, what device, and what result was given, and you can listen to it. You can also turn recording storage off entirely, or delete by device or date ranges.

Honestly the only bad part is it's buried several layers down in the options and account activity, where most people don't go looking. If you do care though the privacy options and controls are pretty good.
If all of the evidence the FBI has is what was in the SCMP article, then there is no way the jury is going to come to a guilty verdict.

But it is doubtful that the SCMP has squeezed information out of the FBI before the court case. Once the court case happens we will see all the evidence that the FBI has gathered, which probably demonstrates much more clearly that he is guilty. It doesn't make sense to discuss hypotheticals until we at least have the evidence.

It also doesn't make sense to fear getting convicted based on deleting some files unless he is actually convicted on this flimsy evidence. But again, this is unlikely -- if you would not convict someone based solely on this evidence, then why do you think anyone else would decide on a guilty verdict?

(Keep in mind that the information in the affidavit [1] "is
intended to show merely that there is sufficient probable cause for the requested warrant" and doesn't include all of the evidence that they have.)

In terms of states, I don’t think they meant, “everyone can’t point to Delaware on map.”

I’d wager it’s more like, “People know Texas, and California, New York, and Florida, Hawaii, etc.”

I’d wager most people can name several. This is mostly because of point 3, movies and media.
LastPass doesn't have a native app because it doesn't need one -- when the browser plugin and web vault are working properly, they provide all available functionality on every platform. The problem is that the plugin does not always work properly; see my other comment about copy/paste problems on Linux, a bug which LastPass has known about for many months and not fixed.
This is about where the article lost me: "It was Facebook, not Russia, that caused the election of Donald Trump."

The margin of election was small. A few tens of thousand of votes in a few states. Every factor that produced an effect that size can be said to be causal. And there were many, many factors that qualified.

Anybody who says that Trump's election had a single cause is, at best, selling something. And I'm not buying.

OK, so I know nothing about the legal context for sanction enforcement. But in the US, the standard of proof in criminal cases is something like "beyond a reasonable doubt". And even in civil cases, it's something like "preponderance of the evidence". In my experience with pollution torts, that typically meant >50% probability of causation. But it usually devolved into battles of experts, and Daubert challenges.

I don't get how IP-based geolocation could satisfy either standard.
As usual LSTMs are shit at generating text. But attention models (like BERT) are a whole different game.

It's very offensive to imply that the Japanese have nothing unique to offer the world other than a passport. In fact it comes off as very hateful and rude.

Japan is more than a piece of land, or a group of people who make television programs and video games for you to enjoy. They are many millions of families each with a rich history that the world would be poorer for losing. And yes, if they stop having children or they lose their island then all of that will be lost.

Denying them this is tantamount to denying their humanity.

A drone capable of jamming GPS in any useful area should carry a huge load of batteries to develop enough jamming power, not the best requirement for something strapped to a light flying machine where every gram counts.
Anyone can buy a GPS jammer at the usual online stores, but they draw watts to cover an area of tens of meters, that is, to jam a single airplane you must fly the drone very close to it, and lose all other planes in the process. A flock of pigeons is many times more dangerous than a drone, even if carries a functioning GPS jammer.

To me any concern about GPS jamming is plain bullshit added to the soup to justify further restrictions on drone flying. Drones with cameras are powerful weapons these days.

> what happens if two users modify different fields/properties of the same resource at the same time?

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-6.5.8

6.5.8. 409 Conflict

The 409 (Conflict) status code indicates that the request could not
be completed due to a conflict with the current state of the target
resource. This code is used in situations where the user might be
able to resolve the conflict and resubmit the request. The server
SHOULD generate a payload that includes enough information for a user
to recognize the source of the conflict.

Conflicts are most likely to occur in response to a PUT request. For
example, if versioning were being used and the representation being
PUT included changes to a resource that conflict with those made by
an earlier (third-party) request, the origin server might use a 409
response to indicate that it can't complete the request. In this
case, the response representation would likely contain information
useful for merging the differences based on the revision history.

Conflict resolution is inherently a consequence of the application-specific semantics of a "conflict". If the notion of "conflict" exists -- i.e., it is not obviated by application design[1] -- then conflict resolution is pushed to the caller.

That said, it may be reasonable to develop reusable conflict resolution mechanisms for reusable definitions of "conflict", allowing for composition of separate concerns as needed. This seems preferable to inventing a new system that binds concerns together with a single, irrevocable notion of "conflict".

[1] Using PATCH does not obviate conflicts that the application design otherwise allows.

I agree, but keep in mind that Hongjin has merely been charged and not convicted yet. The evidence has not been presented in court yet, and it's quite likely that the evidence is going to be much much more comprehensive than the small set of facts that appeared in the SCMP article. If this is really all the evidence the FBI has, though, Hongjin will almost certainly not be convicted.

It depends. You can pay purple air a few hundred dollars for a weather station that measures particulate matter but not ozone, etc.

The upshot is that in most cities in the US, purple air has much denser coverage.

For instance, Silicon Valley has ~4 government sensors, and one is shutting down. It has hundreds of purple air sensors. This makes a huge difference if you are trying to flee from wildfire smoke.
Yes, my initial evaluation was flawed because I was looking at the free version of Bitwarden, but supports neither U2F nor attachments, but the evaluation grid said that it didn't support U2F but did support attachments. I've updated the grid to fix this. It now says that YubiKey is supported for Bitwarden and has a separate pricing line for personal use without attachments or YubiKey vs. with them.

Apparently survival inside the camp for this long was only possible if you knew how to climb the hierarchy, and Pilecki did it well. For example - on the day he (and a few of his friends) fled they were assigned to a job in a bakery. A job in a bakery is one of the best jobs you could possibly get there, as you can steal enough food to not die of starvation.

While I very much agree with most of your points I think you have to be careful not to assume malicious intent. Very likely most of the decision makers on the other side are very much thinking they are making the best decisions for their country/party/region/faction/[insert frame of reference]. Once you vilify your enemy you won't be able to understand them or empathise with them.

Those are two different questions.

I don't think we can reasonably expect everybody to really know everything. Wall Street in particular is a highly complex world, where only some of that complexity is really necessary. I've been reading the financial press since before I was in high school and spent years working in the industry. I don't feel like I fully understand it, and I'm sure I never will.

That said, I think the reputation is reasonably justified. Many smart people have pointed out that the financial sector has increased drastically in size, soaking up an awful lot of money relative to the value it creates in the economy. I'm sure people do dislike their banks, but at least those banks do something for them. Goldman Sachs extracts billions from the economy and doesn't do jack for average people. If those average people hear from people closer to the problem that Goldman Sachs is a vampire squid, I don't think it's unreasonable of them to trust that and tie it to their very reasonable economic resentments.

I think you're misunderstanding the process in a criminal case.

The affidavit that you linked to explicitly states:

> This affidavit is intended to show merely that there is sufficient probable cause for the requested warrant and does not set forth all of my knowledge about this matter.

The full evidence will come out in a court case, and a decision on whether or not he is guilty will be made based on that full evidence. He has only just been charged and the court case has not started yet.

> After a generation, those immigrants will have children who are Japanese. Their native home will be Japan.

Since Japanese culture/society will not accept anybody into their "inner circle" those immigrants will build parallel societies. A diaspora usually heavily connected to their original homeland and not their host. If those get really big, they will have influence in politics which again will change the face and culture of Japan forever.

This has nothing to do with racial purity. It has to do with what is in the best interest of the Japanese people.
The trouble with this - I can sympathize with the frustration of watching atrocities happening in your homeland and not being able to get people in another country far away to care. But I can also sympathize with the ordinary people in these countries far away wanting to live their lives and not wallow in every tragedy that happens around the world.

Because there's quite a lot of things happening all the time, even now, that at least the people involved would consider terrible atrocities. Have you even read about what the Burmese have been doing to the Rohingya? How about the new Chinese "Re-Education Camps" for Muslims there? Or what ISIS-associated factions are doing in Syria?

If the data occasionally changes, you can just respond to the update request with a 409 Conflict reporting the problem and allowing the user to fix it. If it's changing so fast that it requires real-time updates, the user can't probably keep up either, so you should re-think your mechanism.

In the U.S., the defendant can only be convicted if the evidence proves guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Hongjin has not been convicted yet, so I don't follow the logic in your comment. The criminal case process has only just started and we have not seen the full evidence yet, and there has been no determination by the court system on whether or not he is guilty.

I think there is some confusion because of the differences in the judicial process between the U.S. and other countries like China.

I'm not saying the U.S. judicial process is perfect, but I think it's unreasonable to attack it before a verdict has even been issued.
