Well VW is due to release cars based on their new electric platform this year

Finally after years and years of saying it was around the corner. Lets see the price and specs. I think they still havent released those details?

BMW and Mercedes have made similar investments in all electric platforms.

What you mean is, BMW and Mercedes have made similar noises about getting really good at EVs in a few years time but so far have produced nothing of much relevance. The BMW i3 was pretty good for its time but then they disbanded the team, goodness knows what boardroom nonsense was going on there.
Nimipay source code: https://github.com/giekaton/nimipay

Nimipay is based on the Nimiq JavaScript blockchain. The blockchain that is in your browser and requires no installation. Nimiq is Crypto 3.0 - it provides the level of simplicity that can be intuitively grasped by any layman. Anyone can create and secure Nimiq wallet in seconds.

With the new Nimiq Hub API, it is now super simple to start accepting payments on any website.

Nimiq Hub API: https://nimiq.github.io/hub/quick-start

Powered by the API, Nimipay creates an overlayed UI for the interaction with the user's NIM wallet, shopping cart, and items.

Nimipay allows the user to add items to a shopping cart and pay for them. After the user makes the payment, its transaction hash is returned for the backend validation. Then after the transaction is confirmed, the user receives the new item. It can be seen under the Items tab.

Being a modal window, Nimipay is shown on top of any website, and without the need to re-design the website in order to integrate a webshop.

Nimipay is only ~30 kb. Vanilla JavaScript/PHP, just a few hundred lines of code. Free to use and open source.
Teslas will probably be the shortest life vehicle on the road. I am not commenting on their quality, but instead the likelihood that Tesla will simply EOL the older vehicles at some point.

"It's no longer worth while for us to keep up our original models, so we're turning them all off on January 1, 2021. All owners will receive a $2000 credit toward purchasing a new vehicle....".

That's how it goes when you're buying a service rather than an object (see also: DRM books, etc.).

CERTAINLY there will never be a 60-year-old Tesla. Can't legally maintain it, can't drive it without Tesla's support, and they won't.
>bullshit from most* of the incumbents because the boardrooms can't give up on the idea of ICE

I think its more down to the public. They offer EVs but most buyers stick with ICEs.
It's really uninteresting that the machine wins simply because it doesn't have to deal with the inaccuracy and delays of mouse clicks and selection boxes. You can say that it's a limitation of humans, but aren't we searching for evidence of high-level strategic thinking in the machine, instead of purely mechanical advantages of the machine executing copy-pasted human strategies with inhuman accuracy?

Why “Lazy” programmers always win
You really should look at some of the links I provide above to Jocelyn Ireson-Paine's work.
Here's a recent experience I had with them...

When you have sync issues, the workaround in the absence of a Force Sync button (which used to exist) is to create a dummy secure note or to log out and log in again.

Most users won't know this workaround without spending several minutes Googling and digging through search results.

I complained about the lack of a Force Sync button on the clients in the forums, and was told this:

"The reason we don't want too easy an option to force a sync is precisely because folks will choose to use that rather than reaching out to find the root cause"

Needless to say, I wasn't pleased to find out that they wanted to use their paying customers as free testers.

I'd like to switch away, but most of the alternatives I've looked at don't compare very favorably from a UI/UX perspective.
> There’s absolutely no reason that thing couldn’t have shown you a jpeg image rendered with bilinear filtering, which of course is what you’ll see if you put that JPEG on a texture and scale it up using the GPU.

That’s not true, this particular JPEG will not look smooth on a GPU. The visible blocks are 8x8 pixels, not 1 pixel. The blocks would still be blocky because the compression has reduced them to only the DC component. This means the JPEG decode would still decode large blocks into texture memory and the GPU would still render large blocks with a slight blur between the 1 pixel borders of the 8 pixel blocks.

> In practice... static content bandwidth is a mostly solved problem and no one cares, which is why we aren’t using BPG.

I don’t believe that’s true either. I don’t know what you mean about bandwidth being “solved”, but more data is more data. If everyone could reduce their static images today by 2x without thinking, I’m pretty sure they would. I would on my sites if I could. The reason that BPG (or any other format!) isn’t yet being used is lack of browser support and tools and licensing and consensus, not because nobody cares about bandwidth. If what you said is true, then JPEG & PNG would never be replaced, but it’s already starting to happen.
That is an awfully broad generalization. There appear to be plenty who generate some form of income from the service while drawing a clear line between their professional and personal lives, without being profoundly hyperbolic or outright fake, or many of the other stereotypes propagated by the media. The media doesn't talk about them very much for pretty much the same reason that the media doesn't talk about office works very much: the mainstream media is based upon sensationalism, much like the YouTube superstars are. Those who operate YouTube channels as a small business or a supplementary source of income are not going to get the attention because they are simply trying to do their job.

In this case, are you saying the answer is "Yes, official Intel drivers will work on a counterfeit card," and it is not possible for Intel to include anything in the driver or hardware that can perform authentication? I was asking because I don't know.
Like I said, there was a long discussion on their forum examining all this.

AgileBits advertised the online web vault as a feature of 1Password when I bought the software. This can be demonstrated by looking at previous versions of their website on the internet time machine. They were in obligation to provide a solution for that.

The fact that they could have spent cents per paying customer to fix this and they didn't, or that they didn't even offer some form of transition from paying customers to the subscription service is just the cherry on the cake.

I'd bet a dollar that the delta in total-life-cycle emissions for replacing every modified high-performance car with a crapwagon (kei car, Prius, etc...) wouldn't even be a rounding error in humanity's climate change footprint. Hell, building a container ship powered by an old Soviet nuclear reactor instead of bunker fuel would probably be a greener use of civilization's available time and manpower.

Secondly....I don't fear climate change. Humans are adaptable apex predators. It might stymie our progress up the Kardashev scale, but I guess that's the question:

Which is a more difficult resource problem to solve: having 10 billion marginally-productive mouths to feed while maintaining a high-tech economy, or having only 1 billion mouths to feed but being forced to recreate a shattered tech base from scratch with almost-no easily accessible energy deposits left?
Best practice that I've seen is to just get a cover for your laptop and apply the stickers to that. This provides protection for your laptop and you can hang the cover on your wall if you desire afterwards.

There was a place like this in San Francisco a few years back (I think it’s closed now), but I went once with a group of friends and it was absolutely fascinating.

I still have vivid and clear visual memories of the meal (and this was ~5 years ago). Even though I couldn’t see my dining companions, I remember our sitting together, where every person was sitting, and what we talked about. The brain has an amazing way of filling in other details when lacking physically visual ones.

Another interesting effect was the pace and style of conversation. I was with a group of newish friends - not particularly close but close enough that we could let down our guards a bit. We talked about fairly intimate things - relationships, life, desires, etc. without the visual distractions I was able to focus on the conversation in a way I hadn’t been able to before.

Also it was nice to not care about posture or manners - slouch away! :)

Saltwater is very corrosive. You have to strip paint and treat the metal underneath to stop the corrosion, as the slightest crack or pore in the paint allows corrosion to start unseen.

The only way to fully waterproof the inside of a submarine is to keep the water outside.

I don't know if I'd use the word "fantastic".

In many ways, I feel that the Windows and Android clients in particular are still second class citizens compared to their Mac/IOS counterparts.
A PCI express card can use Bus Mastering to gain read/write access to main memory, bypassing the CPU. Counterfeit hardware running arbitrary code that has Direct Memory Access can do anything. Its much worse than running an arbitrary binary on the Operating System. If you accept that running random binaries is a security risk, than running counterfeit hardware that runs arbitrary software is a greater risk!

This way, a store gets a one-use card I can easily pause/limit/close, and if privacy.com screw up they're limited in how much they can draw.
The Conative Instincts That Drive Your Behavior
That it is in your opinion "far more attractive" (whatever attractive means) just tells the rest of the readership (including me) exactly nothing. That you have "fewer frustrations" with 1Password idem ditto. Be specific. Mention examples. Tell us which versions you are talking about.

One of the biggest difficulties in understanding a code base is in identifying the implicit contracts and constraints that exist between the various parts. Each time a feature is added, a fix is made, or some aspect is refactored, some information about the set of things involved in the implementation of that aspect is revealed. If your commits are usually each about one thing only, and their comments simply allow you to identify all the commits needed for a given change, you have already gone a long way towards making that information useful - it's the single-responsibility principle applied in a different area.

Exactly. Someone unhappy with the name, but wants to contribute to the product, can fork the project with a different name and start putting all their patches in there.

If their features are good, they might get backported to the other project. That person may continue to rebase off the original as well. Eventually you might have two packages in all the major distros and CI that helps keep both trees in sync.

That really is the right way forward here. Or ... the person could just make a CI that pulls, applies a single script that renames and rebrands everything, and then rerelease packages. That's all they have to do .. and if it catches on, well then they've made a change without having to bother the original developers at all.
But even then, 5ms seems extraordinarily fast on a home machine.

A couple of years ago I tried to bruteforce my WPA wifi handshakes and also played a bit with Hydra and I don't think I got even close to such speed.

I was a bit surprised by this too because Maggie's is actually a cancer charity in the UK. [1]

> The users don't seem to mind what's on it.

Why are you going to build a dashboard if the users don't seem to need a dashboard?
There is some very bad analysis or interpretation done here.

Just with one or two minor tweaks the analysis falls flat.

For instance, they seem to only look at mass scale script kiddie sprays, a targeted attack will likely not use the mentioned passwords. As one can come up with much better and more likely to succeed candidates.

It also entirely misses attacks that come from a more privileged position (like in Windows directly authenticating to the domain controller) where an adversary can do millions of attempts in short time because of typical monitoring gaps.

Sharing with all is completely fine. Sharing with selected one (or few) looks shady to me.

I've seen this happen in real life. When I had just graduated, a friend of mine got an interview at a company and gave them my name as well. They offered me 120k and him 45k. We were both new grads from the same program, and he had more work experience than I did. But he was employed, making 40k/yr.

So I took the job, he didn't. Years later he got me ANOTHER interview at his company, they offered me 60k, knowing I was literally making twice that. It was really clear that they wanted to make me an offer that I wouldn't take.
> It seems to me that one could make something that is a lot cheaper, a far easier to implement, a lot safer, more environmental by letting go of the ideal that the vehicle should be autonomous.

As long as it doesn't imply "more profit" it's not something capitalism will naturally converge to.

If we were smart we'd have a single automaker offering 3 models (small city car, sedan, some kind of truck/suv) in 1 color with as few combinations of options as possible, coming out of a few gigantic fully automated factories.

Same with phones, computers, &c. Each industry is basically 10 companies inventing the wheel, perpetually, forever, spending insane amount of work, time and money on the same problems and not sharing their progress.
I disagree.

This project, like many areas in technology (especially new or cutting-edge), are not well addressed in laws, regulations, or legal frameworks. The courts of the world have not provided much clarity either, but certainly have not provided any clarity on this particular project.

You did not reference your view in relation to a particular country or legal authority, but the site is hosted in the U.S. so that is the most relevant here.

The content is not hosted by hostyoself.com, it's hosted by the systems owned by the content sharer. The legal landscape has certainly shifted providing less coverage for user-generated (or uploaded) content but there are still some protections in place for solutions that do in fact host user content. But again, that's not the case here.

hostyoself.com is simply forwarding requests to the relevant destination. Not unlikely any other traffic routing or forwarding technology. In fact, the proxy comparison is particularly apt, and a solid defense.

Of course none of this absolves hostyoself.com from complete inaction. I could certainly see them compelled to cease forwarding requests to some destinations. But I do not see a clear path for hostyoself.com to be liable for the content a particular user is hosting. The user in question is the one in possession and performing the hosting/share of the content.

Of course... the courts are the ones who would decide in such a case.
It's a general quick way to check, it'll not always work. A bodged FCC logo means it's almost certainly a counterfeit. A proper or missing FCC logo means near nothing. I just noticed the bodged FCC logo in the original article, that's all.

sometimes you can spot similar shenanigans based on the CE logo but that's more rare.

I imagine it'll get taken down eventually, but I don't see a problem with letting as many people get their eyes on it in the meantime.
The problem is that batteries are too expensive, too heavy, and they wear down eventually. Not only is there the market demand, but there is also the fears of consumer backlash if they don't (or can't) get it 150% correct. Remember the beating that GM took with diesel cars back in the 80's?

Here's the items that need to be overcome:

1) For consumers that don't have a garage, they have to use public charging infrastructure.

2) For those who charge at home, if they do any extended driving they need to use public charging infrastructure

3) The current public charging infrastructure doesn't charge fast enough. For case 2, you can get by (sometimes) with charging at 150 miles in half an hour. Not acceptable for case 1.

4) Most importantly, battery wear and cost. Let's say a battery that costs 30K, for 300 miles range, lasts 10 years. Cost of a "fill up" (300 miles) is about $12.00 of electricity, and $60.00 of wear on the battery. Yes, the battery isn't totally worn down, but they are less useful for automotive use if the capacity is significantly lessened.

Now the larger the battery size, you can get by with charging to 80% capacity, and discharging to about 15%. This still significantly increase the longevity, but the cost structure is such that 200 mile batteries (or lower) is all you find in "affordable" electric vehicles. So for this to really take off, I believe you need a battery capacity of 500 miles, at a cost of 15k, with charging time of 300 miles range in 15 minutes. (Tesla is there on the charging time with their one example of a "1000 mph" charger, so hopefully this will be rolled out to the wider public across more manufacturers).

We usually forget the purpose of scripting languages.

Main purpose of them is to be a glue between native calls:
take output of one native function and pass it as input to other. So instead of writing ray-tracer in JS you should write it as a native function (not even in webasm).

In my Sciter (https://sciter.com) I had the similar dilemma:

Either to use a) some compileable language (of V8 with JIT) or to use b) something small but to provide easy ways to extend script by custom native functions.

I've chosen b) and so the engine that does HTML/CSS and scripting is 6 times more compact than just only V8 binaries. For an embeddable engine that is clearly better.

For browsers, where running JS and no real ways for native code execution... they MUST have V8 and the like.
That also leads to Electron problems... browser engines are simply not suitable to be used as embeddable UI engines, by design.
