Anecdotal, but I hadn't heard mention of cats until today where apparently some cat he had was a mini-celebrity or something to that effect. I have read that he has danced on Ecuador's last nerve for a while, but that's essentially it on the character/personality profile items. Oh, and his friendship with Pamela Anderson.

Prior to that there was the talk of he would turn himself in if Manning were released and then balked when Obama let Manning out shortly before leaving office. The Podesta emails, the exploits that the NSA or some US intelligence group who had in their warchest (and the brief fallout when some of those were exploited right after before a patch was pushed), and things of that nature.

Personally, I like the idea of Assange/Wikileaks more than the execution of it. The current example, both really, carries too much pretentiousness for my liking (the article/interview shortly after the initial leaks where he talks about releasing a massive archive for public downloading that is protected by password and his handlers have said password that they'll release if he is murdered read like a story out of Hollywood). More generally, I guess in some way I just wish those that were responsible for bringing to light the failings of governments and those in power were themselves mostly infallible.

Granted, if the max charge he's susceptible to is 5 years in prison, I'd almost consider his "asylum" in the embassy as time served and save taxpayers' money. His time in the embassy for all intents and purposes has neutered him as a figure.
an older article shows 173,000 LTE base stations. these appear to support 4g as well, so likely these are replacements.
Thanks, I actually recall seeing that diagram.

I agree that the article is clearer. Because I didn't get it when I saw that diagram, but I do get it after reading the article.
Driving is fun. Being a passenger is not so much fun. Technical issues aside, for this simple reason I don't see self-driving cars becoming popular.
You work for an online magazine and you weren't aware of this? If you're not the customer you are the product.
Why do you think they made up that theory?

That's why I said "actively."

From my perspective, if in order to accomplish your work, you need consult or active collaboration with a computer scientist and otherwise could not develop/test your theory or conduct your experiment, then they almost certainly should be cited as an author/collaborator.

If you utilize something OTS outside the project that just works for you and don't need a computer scientist, then whatever entity created that OTS IP isn't really an author/collaborator, but it's likely their work should be cited/referenced if it's part of the critical methodology (as part of disclosure and repeatability).

If your project used Microsoft Word to write up a report, it's not important to the underlying science you conducted. You could have substituted it with TeX, other Word processors, or pen/paper and it wouldn't change the outcome of the underlying theory/experiment you developed. If you used an Ansys package to perform analysis for some purpose, you should probably mention that out of rigor but Ansys isn't an author or collaborator.

If on the other hand you need someone to architect a solution to handle processing your massive dataset, needed someone to write custom code because nothing could do what you needed, needed a new algorithm because you had no clue how to approach the problem, or even needed someone to modify source code significantly to something that existed but couldn't do what you needed, then they are certainly an author/collaborator. If you took existing code/algorithm and made it more efficient in order to accomplish a task that would have taken too long otherwise, you're a contributor/collaborator and should be listed as an author.

This has been a huge issue in academic research but it's been getting a bit better and researchers are starting even more to acknowledge/credit computing professionals as crucial contributors and authors, as they rightfully should be.
The design of the drones is interesting.

I've though that the original Project Wing design (flying wing that transitions 90 degrees for vertical hover) would have been more efficient. Or a larger version of the E-flite X-Vert VTOL:

If that's the case, the author shouldn't be writing articles about online advertising.
This was inevitable as soon as Ecuador started making uncomfortable noises about Assange camping out in the embassy.

He's made too many enemies. If there's any truth to the charges, that just made things easier for the authorities.
I'll have to correct myself. It seems I gave up on the iptables-approach due to having some correctness errors.

Instead I ended up with these lines in /etc/config/firewall:

option name 'Disallow Cloudflare DOH from LAN (3)'
option dest_ip '104.16.249.249'
option family 'ipv4'
option dest 'wan'
option target 'REJECT'

Pretty much as basic as you'd think.

Router itself acts as a DNS-server via dnsmasq, and is allowed to do anything I decide I want.

On my network I have a pi-hole instance which then forwards queries to the router, so it also intercepts/looks up local LAN names correctly.

All clients on the network are provided the pi-hole as the canonical DNS-server to use via DHCP options.

Works for me.
It sounds like the US will for sure extradite him.

I think the comparison was about personal safety in the event of a collision, not a slight at your cycling ability.
Code that would modify the browser history to do such a thing was posted on hackernews a couple years ago. I just thought you would find that interesting. I'm undecided on what to think when it comes to julian.
Unfortunately the USA wasn't built or zoned with that in mind, so public transportation while necessary can't be a complete solution for too many. I don't condone it, the majority of cities in this country are true horrors and make no sense and we should aggressively zone in a way that gets rid of the majority of los Angeles to make an example of one of the worst offenders, but we can't ignore the problem exists.
Offshoring Responsibility for Asylum-Seekers
One thing I haven't seen fully explained ( maybe it was but I missed it ). Were these vanes damaged on both of these downed flights? Why didn't all the other 737 MAX 8's crash around the world, Was it something about the flight profile or the weather? Can the plane be flown as-is with a sufficiently conservative flight profile?
I have been interested in linux certification for a while, but I'm not a redhat user, I use debian/ubuntu.

Because he was frustrated and angry about something else that he has no power to affect (possibly the traffic that he was stuck in) and misdirected his energy at an accessible target to alleviate some psychic pressure.

Googles inclination to deprecate products is common knowledge at this point. What value is added by restating the obvious in every Google related thread?
The "left" is too broad a stroke to paint with for this situation. The left in the US is quite split on these issues (and an increasing number of other issues).

The so-called "New Democrats" (think Clinton, Biden, Kamala Harris) are surely who you are referring to; they want him crucified. The "progressive" wing of the left (think Ralph Nader) do NOT fit that description. IMHO as a lifelong Southern California resident in Los Angeles, the progressive left has more support among common people, but the Clinton Democrats have more support from the donor class. Hence, the media narrative of the American left is dominated by the corporatist dems.
> From what the riders are saying at r/selfdrivingcars,

Seems like such a community would be heavily biased towards self driving cars. I wouldn't take much from a place like that, even discounting the shill factor.

Self driving isn't going to be a thing any time soon. Luckily for Ford, their CEO is seeing past the hype. And, if such a large company see this, what's a company like Lyft going to do?
You use the Zeppelin for the mothership holding the delivery drones
Not sure what you mean. Politicians routinely do things while in office expecting a payoff later after leaving office. It's not always cash (in fact usually not), but certainly lucrative speaking engagements, often times board positions or "consultant" fees paid for very little work, professorships at prestigious universities (with 6 figure salaries despite teaching little or no courses), etc. The options are only limited by people's imagination.
Kali Yuga
The US is the leader of software

1) because software really got started in English. Since then it has been taught, documented, written about in books, blogs and tutorials in English, spoken about in English. Yes, there are translations, and in major languages they sometimes appear fast, but there is 100 times more in English, and you just don't get around becoming a great software developer without English.

2) because the largest software companies in essence make text based products. It's all about text on screens, text processing, text outputting and inputting.

Re 1: A 13 year old Spanish, French, German or Japanese kid is facing a double hurdle when trying to learn programming. Would Bill Gates or Zuckerberg have mastered programming already as kids if to do so they first would have had to learn Italian or Polish? Other countries that either have English as a first language (UK, Australia) or as a strong second language (Netherlands, Scandinavia) do far better than countries where English is a mediocre second language.

Re 2: Let's pretend that these countries that are not strong in English still somehow managed to produce vast numbers of great developers at a relatively early age, so that they have a large enough pool of potential founders of great companies. Could they then market their products at the local home market as virtually all the now great software companies did? Like Amazon selling books in Bellevue, Washington, Microsoft selling to hobbyists on the West Coast, Facebook to students at Harvard, Google at Stanford?

For text based products (text on screens) that would realistically require they launch in the local language, just like their American counterparts did.

Would an 18 year old Italian student have reached beyond Italy, had he launched his new social network at Bocconi? Or Twitter if it launched in Tel Aviv in Hebrew the first year or two? How far would Amazon have gotten, if it had started with the first 10,000 items in the store described in Russian? Microsoft DOS with Korean-inspired commands? How would a Serbian-first Google have fared in 1997-2000? Could it have beaten AltaVista?
Do you think a man in a similar position would be elevated on a pedestal, to the exclusion of the algorithm designer (Mareki Honma) and the primary software author (Andrew Chael)?
And if the fines are being imposed on actions that it would be hard to predict ahead of time would result in a fine, that leaves them with the second option (use money to buy influence), which is probably the worst of all because it's stable.

Once you convince a company that paying whatever it takes to buy a government is the only way to avoid random multi-billion dollar fines, you've created a long-term structural problem, because it becomes the status quo and is hard to undo. And then the government can't even punish them when they're actually being bad.
Because it's not your data. Just because something describes you, doesn't make it yours.
How to Watch Israel's Beresheet Spacecraft Land on the Moon
I see nothing wrong with calling my contact information "my data," because I feel some ownership over how it is used and disseminated. I strongly disagree with the idea that having an interaction with a business gives them a license to tell anyone anything about our interaction, including (especially) my contact information. I agree it is "the law" right now, but I think that is wrong and should be changed.
So if the sensors have a higher rate of failure then it looks like changing MCAS software to rely on both sensors may not be enough as there is a higher probability of both sensors malfunctioning and sending bad data to MCAS at the same moment. In that case, I am not sure how would MCAS behave.
In the US specifically? It's perfectly normal here. (Ireland.)

That sure doesn't seem to be true at all.
This is not even remotely surprising, and by all standards should be taken into account in your implementation of dependent systems' gradual degradation fault modes.

I'm not sure there's much clear data on this. I have plenty of anecdotes from myself and other cyclists, however.

Here's what is clear: Many cyclists worry about getting rear-ended, which presumably is a major part of what bike lanes are supposed to eliminate, but those sorts of crashes are rare: http://bicyclesafe.com/#rearend2

I can recall a pro-bike-lane advocacy organization had some different data that said being rear-ended is actually common, but that seems very discordant with the remainder of the data, and they seem hardly unbiased. (The webmaster of the site I linked to seems neutral on bike lanes.)

The main risks come from intersections, and most bike lanes, even protected ones, don't address that.

My concern is that bike lanes may give inexperienced cyclists a false sense of security. These problems are relatively easily avoided if one is aware of them. See this website to learn about how to avoid the most common types of bike crashes: http://bicyclesafe.com/
With autonomous cars, robotaxis become feasible. If you're buying a car for yourself, you're going to want a certain amount of space for passengers or cargo in case you need to do something like drive your family to the airport. You'll also want long range in case you decide to go on a road trip. Even if 90% of the time you'll be commuting alone 20 minutes to work, you'll want this extra range and capacity for the times you need it.

If you're deploying a fleet of robotaxis, most of your fleet can be vehicles that only carry one or two passengers at a time on short trips. If a family wants a ride to the airport, then they'll specify that they need a larger vehicle for more passengers and luggage, etc. So you can buy a fleet of mostly smaller cars with a shorter range, and compliment them with a few minivans for long range trips. Overall your fleet will be quite efficient.

Shouldn’t it be easy to detect a stuck sensor and then stop using its data unless it recovers?
On average public transit produces 2% of pollution but transport about 28% of riders. (I don't remember where exactly I got the numbers but I've seen them in a few places).

The buses need to run at night so the people can rely on them during the day -- it's just the price of public transit, the public uses transit way more if buses run on 10-minute interval during off-peak rather than 30-minut interval. (another study I can't find right now).

I think as programmers we tend to try and optimize problem for least pollution, but the problem here lies in the domains of sociology and urban planning; we might not be the most qualified people to solve it.

For example if buses pollute 3% because of the extra buses on off-peak routes but now more people use them, this would have net effect of reducing pollution.
The Tesla Supercharger v3 DOES achieve this.

Selfdriving.. oh wait, this is in the air, where there's no traffic and all these different situations. And wait, it was not even an autopilot. Even this was too hard to implement.

For something on the scale of the DOD, it makes very little sense to operate in the cloud, I am still unsure why this is a goal for them, particularly considering both the cost and the security concerns.

But single-sourcing your cloud destroys any remaining value proposition: If you become dependent on a single cloud provider's services, they can charge you as much as they want once the current contract is up, and your lock-in means you're going to end up paying it. (Or we all are, since it's the DOD and we pay taxes.) The ten billion dollar contract is nice to have now, but I'm sure Microsoft and Amazon are both really licking their lips for the forty billion dollar renewal ten years later.

> Just because a newspaper does something bad with its web site does not make what happens at Facebook/Google/etc... any less bad.

Absolutely it does. The prevailing narrative is that SV tech companies are innovators in this space, invading your privacy in ways that normal companies would never dream of. "Facebook engages in industry standard data collection" is a very different story, even if the industry standard is still bad.
Other than the cost one, Tesla has achieved this, as I pointed out below.

Of course the car companies are all in on an improvement to their devices that would sell more of them; what I really want, though, is far more buses on the road (big ones on the arterials, van-sized ones on the side streets) and a much larger and more intricate trolley system.

I don't want to see a world that enhances and entrenches private vehicle movement; that's not necessary. The goal is to get from place to place. I want to step outside, walk a block, wait 3 minutes, and get on a bus or a marshrutka and be on my way without ever thinking about gas, traffic, insurance, or any of that.

All this "when self-driving cars..." is missing the point: we can move people conveniently and easily and more earth-friendly with what we've got, we just don't use it well because car companies want to sell everyone a private vehicle.

Assuming there weren't already problems with the balloon idea, what you'd have then is a pressurized vessel, the pump, and of all the compressed helium weighing you down for 99% of your trip just to save a tiny bit of energy (and I'm assuming a day with zero wind here) during the offloading procedure which probably doesn't even last long enough for the balloon to fully inflate.

Also, as far as I know, the cheapest/lightest material to make the balloon out of would be mylar, which is conductive and not something you want around powerlines.
