Not only that, large parts of it remain under construction. I know because I’ve been there two weeks ago. There was raw cement residue sitting uncleared before passport control. The signage is half broken and half incomplete. Instead of signage they have temp workers shouting the names of connecting flights and you have to huddle over to that guy and hope to god he knows what he’s doing.

Oh, and it takes 4+ hours to come to Kadikoy, the centre of the town on the Asian side.

It might be less of a disaster than the Berlin-Brandenburg mentioned here, but only barely so.

> The concept is fairly simple, although the engineering required to make it a reality is anything but. All matter contains energy on the quantum level. By theoretically creating its own incredibly dense and polarized energy field, the hybrid craft is claimed to be able to create a quantum 'vacuum' around itself which allows it to repel any air or water molecules with which it interacts.

As a PhD in physics, this just sounds like nonsense to me. Energy isn't a field and to polarize it doesn't mean anything.

> Little information can be found about Salvatore Cezar Pais; he has virtually no web presence. What is known is that he received a PhD in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Case Western Reserve University in 1999 and that he currently works as an aerospace engineer for NAWCAD at Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland – the Navy’s top aircraft test base. Pais has published several articles and presented papers at American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics conferences over the years describing his work in electromagnetic propulsion, revolutionary room temperature superconductors, and topics like his PhD dissertation: "Bubble generation under reduced gravity conditions for both co-flow and cross-flow configurations."

My sample size is small at ~5, but former classmates who joined the military research labs were not the brightest bunch. Of my overall cohort, the smartest ones went into industry, sometimes a different industry than their field of study. The smart but idealistic ones went into academia. And then the ones that truly never shed their sophomoric arrogance, acquired in their formative years and that should have been beaten out of them by the doctoral process, went to the military labs to work on secret stuff.

It may have been true in the past, but military labs don't have the cachet to attract top talent.

With that being said, the most likely reason for this patent filing, as others have noted, is misdirection.

Not tofu. It's beans.
Take a typical org.

The board meets and talks and decides everyone is going mobile and that becomes a goal.

The senior level managers (ceo/coo/vp of departments) come up with a general strategy around mobile for their departments. Marketing VP might decide to change CRMs . They come up with a plan that involves getting a budget approved for the assessment phase (meeting with vendors, sme, etc). Based on that they put a presentation together to get support/budget for the next phase. During this time they might try to see synergies with other approved projects with budgets and try to fit in the CRM changes within them. If approved they move to the implementation phase where the work goes to the development manager and/or vendor management. A pm gets assigned the project. They meet with the vp and keep them updated. When the project is finished reports are written and sent back to the VP. The VP makes year end presentation on what they did to achieve the goal. They would report things like mobile engagement up 10% after CRM upgrade. CEO would report to board 80% of customer facing sites are now mobile friendly. Next year we plan to do 100%.

Consumer grade 3D printing might be finicky, but I have a hard time saying easily available tech that can create shelves, doorknobs, or pretty much anything smaller than a foot squared "sucks".

For your last question, absolutely. There are $10k+ 3D printers available that are a marvel and have dramatically reduced design time of mechanical components.
That's actually more like the approach taken in the past in the UK for huge infrastructure projects, or road and power station, sometimes via setting up a specific (nation or city) owned company that got funding rounds! Yes, projects turned out more expensive than thought quite often, but it didn't make headlines quite the same. It was managed to stay good value rather than expected to hit a precise penny-accurate budget.

I think the modern tendency to seek cheapest bid, rather than best value, makes it far worse. In trying to save money time and again they end up spending far more...
Can you elaborate on this? Is it the app itself needing to do some type of processing for peak performance, or some firmware blob that the app bundles and loads?

Pictures on my S7 herolte (microG+LOS obviously) are grainy, and investigating why is quite far down on my todo list. This wasn't a problem on i9500, klte, or shamu. I had thought the issue must be some missing firmware, either from the OS image or it got wiped somehow. Compounded by being in Exynos rather than more popular Qualcomm land. But not knowing all that much about the Android photo stack, it's interesting to hear you say it depends on the app used itself.
I've never met an actual free speech extremist.

They promote gab and confederate statues but I don't ever see them fighting against intellectual property laws, or fighting for legalizing sympathetic striking, or fighting to allow pornography on youtube. Instead it seems to be fighting for a very specific kind of free speech.
Yes, the code looks fairly simple, I would say.
I think the need for most people to assign the label “crackpot” vs “credible” almost immediately to any claim (especially to the more far-out claims) is an aspect of human nature: a desire to break down and simplify our view of the world into discrete categories as early as possible.

I think we do this not because this is the most accurate way to think, but because our minds are finite, and we need some simplifying approximation (e.g. quantization of a continuum into categories, or binary decisions) in order to make thinking about the immensely complicated world even possible.

For example, we tend to seek conclusions like “we have decided that A is good, B is bad, C is bunk, and D is science — case closed!” When in reality, our understanding of truth is far more a continuous and constantly evolving thing, as new information and ideas flow through.

Put simply, I think most people are just uncomfortable answering important questions with “I don’t know”, and avoid that answer at all costs, even when it is the correct answer.

Ubuntu runs its own SKS keyserver (keyserver.ubuntu.com) and apk-add-repository use it when adding a PPA repository. I think in theory it's still possible to break package manager in Ubuntu if someone decide to poison a popular PPA repository/key.
But this is not an issue of Apple vs. OpenID Connect, but one between Apple’s flawed implementation of the OpenID Connect standard vs. the actual OpenID Connect standard. If they would have just gone with some proprietary implementation I very much doubt the OIDC people would have bothered. That happens pretty much daily after all.

One of my favorite parts of traveling in Italy was that the waiters who weren’t at all shy about telling you not to order what you were asking for, and instead go with something they thought was better. And it was invariably excellent. It’s much easier for them to shrug and let you make bad choices, so I’m very grateful when someone does that for me.
What I wonder is if the regexps could be preprocessed in a way so that the fast variant is used for all or at least most cases where it it possible to use it.
Really depends on the organization.

Middle managers manage managers.

They are definitely in meetings, just meetings you're unaware of.

My experience dates to IBM in the 1990s so is lacking whatever has developed since then. At IBM first and second line managers still had some understanding of the code or product or services being developed/run by their organizations (and I knew first lines who were still active contributors).

Once you got to third line, those managers are more focused, almost solely focused on "business" issues and macro operational issues.

As you get higher up an organization, the managers could care less about the day to day or even month to month issues faced by their organization. They're focused on will their organization meet or exceed revenue projections? Are you running below or over budget? You've maxed out space in Blue Cube corners and at the rate of growth only need 10,000 square feet next year but they can only rent new space in units of 100,000 square feet. The CEO is demanding 5% cuts across the board, can you do it without firing people? Or is there a particular organization you've been hoping to get rid of anyway that you can terminate en masse?

Even higher up at director and VP level they're focused on profit & loss, because that's what they get measured on, maybe secondarily customer satisfaction. Employee satisfaction is mostly irrelevant once you're above a second line organization.

Depending on the _jurisdiction_ a manager is in, they may have certain legal responsibilities or authorities that a lower level manager may not have. Even if you're not the CEO, you might have to sign off on certain contracts (especially with governments, governments love to have an executive's signature on things, because they can go after that executive when the $100MM payroll system costs $300MM and still doesn't work).

Does anyone recall the missing hard drives from LLL or los alamos, which were grabbed by the chinese spy?

Or the theft of an AWAX by the chinese?

They are not stupid.

When i was at lockheed the chinese were phishing lockheed staff who had attended defense conferences. They managed to get a worm in lockheed that trickle fed them stolen data.

When it was discovered they opened the flood gates and tried to dump mass data out of the lockheed network - which, at the time, only had three egress points to the internet such that lockheed had to shit them down.

Then, lockheed tried to keep an air-gap between vendors they were using... but the chinese hacked the vendors such that they coulld compromise the usb drives being used as the sneakerbet between lockheed and the vendors....

The chinese are not stupid.
> I’m just too scared to talk to them.

No reason to be! They’re just another human being trying to do their best for your company and team. Assume best intentions!

If you’re nervous because you have no idea what to say to broach the topic, here’s something you could try.

“Hi, I’m Charlie. I work for Susan over on the infrastructure team. As part of my own professional development, I’m trying to build out an understanding of how all of the people at our company move towards our common goal, as it’s not always obvious to me at my level. Do you have time for a quick one on one where you can share with me your roles and responsibilities, and what some of your challenges are here at our company?”

Basically, you don’t need to say something as blunt as “What exactly is it that you do here?” Instead, just come at it from a position of positive inquiry where you’re just genuinely trying to learn and grow.

I say all this because no answer here is going to really tell you what that person does. Everyone’s roles and responsibilities vary, regardless of their title. You won’t learn unless you learn how to ask!
surely intelligence agencies are smart enough to realize this is probably bait and not bother with it?
Ask HN: What American tech policy needs to change?
What tech policies are long overdue for change? Put differently: which policies would be best improved by someone with a technical background? Alternatively, what areas of tech would benefit from legislation that doesn't exist yet?

I'm currently an undergraduate in a technical discipline at a top school. I believe there is a problematic disparity between politicians’ technical aptitude and the level of technical competence required to craft effective policy, which is exacerbated by the continuously increasing prevalence and complexity of technology. Based on these views and Bruce Schneier's writings on the importance of being a public interest technologist[0] I have decided to spend the upcoming semester doing a public-policy internship related to tech in Washington D.C. As such, I would like to know what this community views as some of the most important domestic tech policy issues that need fixing.

Some issues that come to mind for me: courts compelling decryption, copyright trolling, basically anything the EFF is working on[1]

This sad story reminds me of this excerpt from the novel Ishmael by Daniel Quinn:
“You may compete to the full extent of your capabilities, but you may not hunt down your competitors or destroy their food or deny them access to food. In other words, you may compete but you may not wage war.”

We are waging a war on our brothers and sisters. Our collective humanity deteriorate for each and every soul that we trample upon for the sake of economic progress.

A long, long time ago, some generation looked up into the sky and saw a somewhat nearby supernova. Visible during the day! Incredible spectacle!

Within a short amount of time of those folks dying off, however, it all became BS. It was the sky god. It was an optical illusion. It was a bunch of liars. It was stupid people. It was people making stuff up.

These knee-jerk, easy answers come because in most cases they're true. But even more true is the fact that there are a ton of people who just have to know. Whether it's aliens or swamp gas, they have to know one way or the other. Just looking up in the sky and saying "Did you see that? Beats me what it is" isn't good enough.

Non-reproducible phenomenon is still phenomenon. The point the former Assistant SecDef was making in his recent opinion piece is extremely valid. If we can't control our skies that's a DoD/Security matter, even if the data is coming to us in such a way as to be very difficult for us to process. Easy answers aren't going to cut it.
What cracks me up is the irony of seeing ...\etc\hosts on Windows, not the entire decision.
I'm not a Node expert, but my understanding is that if any code throws an error, the server crashes and has to be restarted. That prompted a serious WTF from me when I read about it.

While Tcl is running as a server in an event loop, if an error is thrown while processing an event it is reported via a background error API, and the server keeps going.
In my experience, the level of pride politicians show when initially announcing a project is a good indicator of how badly a project will go. The more politicians are "excited" about it, the more they will try to micromanage it later (to death) and the more they will be OK with any shit from the contractors actually building it and the more OK they are with it going over budget. It's easier to pull one over on a politician who makes the final decisions, than a professional project manager with tons of experience.

If it involves different political parties or governments (like BER, which had politicians from Berlin and from Brandenburg involved, both local and state, and the federal government too to some degree) then it gets even worse, a lot worse.

So projects merely commissioned by politicians usually do better (go over budget because of the moronic public bidding process, but that's a different issue), while projects not just commissioned but overseen by politicians do far less well.

If you mean just lose money when you say the stockholders should pay, then yeah, whatever. But if you mean that they should be held responsible, I think that’s absurd. That’s what I meant by my response.

Losing 1000 people is a tragedy, and those responsible should be held responsible. But a company like Boeing is a huge machine with many people working diligently on extremely complicated products, the vast majority of whom didn’t touch this faulty system at all. Which is to say you shouldn’t throw the baby out with the bath water.
This Reddit post (from a few months ago, actually) lists several things in the patent that just sounds like gibberish to someone educated in physics:

https://www.reddit.com/r/EmDrive/comments/bgr3ex/comment/elp...

That said, you’ll always be able to find a way to explain away the weirdness if you speculate: Maybe they wanted the patent, but wanted to dissuade other people from reproducing the tech. One effective of doing this could be to actually patent a design that itself works, but is accompanied by a theoretical description that comes across as a joke / gibberish to any educated scientist. That would (and does, as you can see here) shut down most educated scientists interest in the topic immediately.

I’m not saying I believe that’s the case, just that we can always find a way to believe what we want to believe; belief is very dangerous in that way. (Generally, it’s best to just absorb evidence and withhold any “belief” until you absolutely have to make a binary decision.)

Therefore, I think speculation is pointless: Instead, we should just try to build what is described here, and see if it works or not.
