It's even worse for trucks. In my country (Oz) trucks using Google maps are very much gambling. Just near my family business is a back road that google always sends traffic down, even though it's almost only one car wide. Two locals will pass through the narrow hairpins easily, but tourists and uncertain drivers are a problem, often forcing near misses with them or the cliffs.

There are signs indicating that trucks should not travel that road... And yet there are no options on any gps product that causes the correct 'take the main road' to occur for them. Ironically, only the Bing truck maps api will route around it if you put in the truck's length (because of the hairpins).

I know of many truckers (we call them truckies) who've had tickets issued because of being on the wrong road due to Google.

There is a tradition of anti-nobility sentiment in US culture as old as, well, the US. It is literally written into the Constitution[1]. How much you were exposed to it probably depends on where you grew up; I think it is louder in the north east, and I don't hear it much in California.

Personally, I am more annoyed at being sir-ed constantly. I much prefer to reserve it as a genuine term of respect, not a generic form of address.

I'm okay with this as long as I NEVER hear about wage gap, wealth gap, or growing poverty in the US political discussion again. I never want to hear about increasing entitlements, food stamps, none of it. If we continue this policy, those outcomes are by design. This policy is a charity work for the poor of other countries, paid for by the suppressed wages of the American poor. As long as we can all agree that's the goal, or at least an accepted side effect, I'm willing to go along.
I think masochism has to figure strongly here.

"but unlike most major religions, they discourage retreating from the world and ordinary secular life."

I think that would be a mischaracterization of major religions. For example Christianity has its mystics and ascetics, but they it doesnt preach that all, or even the vast majority should pursue this path. Instead, Christianity teaches that its faithful should take time to retreat and pray, to go back into the world a more faithful servant of God.

Even the Saints and ascetics don't retreat from the world but rather seek silence. St. Benedict, the paradigm of the Catholic monk would leave the monastery every month to meet up with his sister.
This is the conclusion I have reached, well put.

This is a tangent, but both Lennon and Harrison made some pretty good stuff. 40 years later I can listen to their solo albums all day long. Never got into McCartney stuff the same way.
I looked through all the comments but still haven't seen an answer to an obvious limitation(that is posed near the end of the article): Where are they getting their library of heartbeats from? I'm sure the CIA is collecting, but being able to positively ID someone with their heartbeat is useless unless you already have a verified record of their heartbeat.

Imagine the case of finding an elusive person (such as Saddam Hussein or Osama Bin Laden), somebody has to go collect a verified sample BEFORE an assassination takes place. But if you are in a position to collect a sample of someone's heartbeat and you KNOW that it's the right person through some other verifiable means (you need to know if you actually got OBL instead of a body double), then what does this really get you? You already had some trustworthy source, and you can probably use this previous source to verify that you assassinated the right person.

So this heartbeat ID tech may be more accurate and robust compared to facial recognition, but it's less useful in actuality. We already have verified pictures of most adults in the world via passports and driver's licenses and such, which makes facial recognition a ton more useful in real life.

The problem that this heartbeat tech "solves," the ability to ID someone with great accuracy, is hamstrung by the fact that the elusive people we have the greatest need for an ID like this won't have their data available. For non-elusive people we can already find them by getting their picture and address out of a database.

But you can bet the CIA realizes this limitation and will work diligently over the next few years to get heartprints of Kim Jong Un, Vladimir Putin, and other notorious figures at every public appearance so that they can slowly build a library that will be useful down the road.

The “Titles of Nobility Amendment” [1] to the constitution was never ratified by the states (though it did pass Congress), and the Canadian Nickle Resolution [2] was never enacted as a law, but the idea they convey is as clear and as valid today as it was back then.

I have never seen any mention of this issue in public forums, so I think it is good that Gruber brings it up.

And I kind of like how succinctly he puts it: Fuck this “sir” shit. We don’t have titles in America.

Point of order in the definitions here: an explosive projectile is still a kinetic weapon and is not NOT a chemical weapon. A chemical weapon causes chemistry to happen in/on the target: mustard gas, VX nerve gas, etc.

This is not my opinion. This is widely accepted and a matter of many international treaties.
What Would It Take to Carry Out a Successful Eclipse Attack on Ethereum?
Yes you did miss the memo, but most of America did. My first awareness came about five years ago through friends who are in (or adjacent to) the HPC space.

What has surprised me most is the difference in awareness and framing between the Chinese and Americans I have spoken with (though obviously "data" is not the plural of "anecdotes").

When I speak with Chinese friends, and contemporaries in tech sectors, many view the current state of US-Chinese economic conflicts in two parts: a trade war and a related-but-separate "tech war". Speaking with Americans, among those who work in the technology sector, less than half see there being a separate "tech war", outside/beyond the context of the tariffs and related trade negotiations.

Outside of tech, no Americans I have spoken to see there being a separate tech war, and it is entirely contextualized in President Trump's current trade war framing.

As for Chinese nationals outside of tech, I have far fewer conversations. I did recently speak with a gentleman from a maritime BRI project in Africa (i.e. very removed from tech). He nonetheless seemed to hold a pride for recent Chinese technological advances as a part of his identity (or personality?) and viewed it as outside/beyond the specific incidentals of the current trade war. He was happy to be working on the BRI, but he thought that it was less important than the technology contest.

My guess is that a lot of it comes down to intentional framing and emphasis in popular news media?

How does a small group get politicians to pass laws to help them? It's pretty simple: some people care about people who aren't them.

Learned helplessness runs wild at Apple. If you listen to them, they say that with the trashcan they had "designed themselves into a corner", and that's why it took them six years to design a new enclosure. As if it is beyond the capabilities of one of the world's richest and most powerful corporations to design a new enclosure every year.

The trashcan Mac Pro was OK. The design was perhaps uninspired but it did provide adequate cooling for the 2013 Xeons that they were using. It so transpired that the design did not provide ample cooling for Intel's recent CPUs. But so what? Just change it.

The actual problem with the 2013 Mac Pro was operational. They decided to build it in the US. They made a big, high-tech factory with a large degree of automation. That's a great way to build a high volume product. It's a terrible way to build a $3000 niche computer.

What they are really scared about is that Hong Kong and Taiwan demonstrate that other systems than an authoritarian one party dictatorship can work well in a "Chinese" society. The mainland party line is that democracy wouldn't work for "Chinese" because whatever culture thousands years of history blah blah bs and that sounds a bit stupid if there are flourishing democracies in HK and TW. It's all about keeping the lid on the mainland.
That is really beautiful.

The energy density of batteries is relatively low compared to the liquid hydrocarbons and other chemical accelerants. It goes from being a mortar you can throw in the back of a Jeep, to a mortar you can throw in the back of a Jeep plus a semi truck full of battery capacity.

On ships and airplanes, you can replace internal weapons bays which have substantial storage capacity. And the batteries (this is particularly an issue for airplanes) aren't terribly mass-dense either. And you can use the vessel's turbine-powered electric generators to recharge the batteries from fuel (this reduces the range, but hey, tankers).

I think stamina is the correct word.

I'm 54. My ex husband is the same age and was career military.

At some point in his career, they changed the PT test standards for younger military members because young people growing up in front of TVs and computers didn't have the stamina his generation had at the same age. Meanwhile, they did not lower the test standards for him/his age group. He quite resented it.

In other words, this is Federal policy acknowledging this change.

Last I heard, the military is having increasing difficulty getting qualified applicants because young people today are simply out of shape compared to previous generations. I've also seen articles that say we increasingly import construction workers because middle and upper class young white males no longer take construction jobs during the summer in high school and college like they routinely did when I was that age.

4.5% of 301 million is about 13.5 million - and that's just people who would self-identify as LGBT in spite of it still being a problematic thing to admit to (we even have a word for it: coming out).
Elections are decided by much, much, much smaller numbers than that.

(In comparison: that's more than the entire population of Pennsylvania).

PS: I certainly would be uncomfortable identifying as a Jew in an environment where people merely "don't mind all the jews and hebrews, but do wonder what's up with all the stuff". Just put in that framework to see what's wrong with your question.

What a nasty reply. Is it so inconceivable that the (hypothetical) woman might have maternal / nurturing instincts that strict blood relations aren't the only possible outlet for? Obviously it's a tragedy, for the granddaughter in particular, and if anything at all can be done about the situation then it should be, but sometimes these things are complicated and there aren't a lot of options and you just have to accept and make peace. Or be full of futile, useless anger that pollutes the rest of your life and the people around you.

Also I just said "legal", e.g. child protective services or notifying police, not Legal Rights of Grandmothers On Their Grandchildren or whatever you're assuming.
> > Ever wonder why there are no mainframe viruses?

> Because no hacker can afford to have an IBM mainframe running in their garage?

There have been IBM mainframe malware in the past, the most famous incident being https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_Tree_EXEC

If an attacker wants to learn to attack IBM mainframes, they don't need a mainframe in their garage. Using the open source Hercules emulator, you can run IBM mainframe operating systems emulated on x86. Legally, you can only run really old versions, but piracy of newer versions is widespread. (IBM will sell you a legitimate way to emulate newer versions on x86 for a few thousand dollars annual subscription - but we can assume an attacker isn't going to be bothered with obeying copyright laws.)

Security through obscurity is a bad practice, but sometimes it really works. Exotic platforms tend not to get much malware, not because they lack security vulnerabilities, but simply because knowledge of how they work (and in many cases, even opportunity to acquire that knowledge) is rare.
When Chrome first came out I stopped using it cause it didnt have adblock. Then when it did it was still crippled and I realized Google is in the Ad business so I never used Chrome since. This is very correct adblocking is a necessity, if they even include a Mozilla Adblocking DNS server for the browser thats fine to me. As long as I dont see ads.

I wont give up on Firefox anytime soon. I would love to see some serious competitors though.
Create a bloom filter of your SSO domains. As the email field is populated check the domain against the bloom filter. If it matches disable the password field and display a message about that domain using sso and the user being redirected. In all other cases use normal password authentication.

In the background use an ajax call to your server to validate the bloom filter. If you got a false positive then revert the UI to the password enabled version, but this will be extremely uncommon with the right size of bloom filter.
Practical benefits like what?

As long as government sites don’t use it, it’s fine. You don’t need legislation for every single offense, perceived or otherwise. If you don’t like ReCaptcha, block it with an ad blocker and if a site requires it, don’t use it and let them know why. Also let all your friends and random strangers on the internet know why.
Err? So, suggesting a uniform standard that says hacking is bad is advocating moral relativism?

I think FF should implement an add-blocker which allows me to say which adds I like and which I don't.

Many important services like news-papers can only survive if they get add-revenue. They also contain adds in their print-edition and people still subscribe to them.

So I don't mind adds in general just adds which have no relevance to me.
Good. Thank you. I legitimately appreciate this. Honesty is all anyone asked for.
You seem fixated on cars emitting stuff. Riding behind any vehicle that burns and releases any fossil fuel sucks, and all those vehicles should be replaced. In fact cars are quite a bit ahead of busses.
I don't get why you'd bother when you can get a better machine for half the cost. Install Linux on it if you don't like Windows.

Watch a Tesla using Navigate on Autopilot today and see how it decides which lane it needs to be in and which exit to take.

It's certainly not reading signs. The system doesn't currently have that capability. It's a combination of GPS (to know where it is) and maps (to know how to go from where it is to the destination).

I 100% agree with you that the problems presented in the original comment wouldn't be an issue. The cars will use local data to determine whether a surface is drivable. They won't drive into sand or deep snow just because the navigation says that they should.

But that's not the same as your statement that they won't use GPS at all. And your statement that Tesla currently doesn't use GPS in their systems is plainly wrong.
Congratulations Jony.
