Even if this could eventually be done affordably, this only only makes sense for vehicles meant to only go a short distance on electricity, like Toyota's own Prius Prime, with it's 25 mile electric range.

If you have a longer range EV, then you need to plug in anyways to charge the much larger battery, at which point why bother with the solar panels for charging the traction battery?

This seems a bit like an attempt to get more out of their hybrid gasoline powered cars, which is a technology they seem very wedded to.
Just curious, if this seems to be of uttermost importance pertaining to national security, then why do the media broadcast it for the rest of the world to see?

Polynomials and complex numbers are connected via Fundamental Theorem of Algebra.
Complex numbers can be represented in polar form - trigonometry/geometry, which can be connected via calculus to exponential form - Euler's formula.

Why would ICE need an “Urban Warfare” facility? Note that this is at the famous counter-insurgency training centre, the US army “School of Americas”, notorious for training central and South American death squads.
That makes tons of sense for rooms where you're in one or two at a time and have to be actively paying attention.

When it's intentionally simple to sit in 50 rooms 95% of the time, it's pretty stupid for a disconnection to make you lose out on random chunks, or for you to miss events because you wanted to turn off your computer.

When you intend to be always in a room, and the only roadblock is the inconveniences of modern tech, the logical state of "inside a room" should be decoupled from "has an active TCP connection". So sure you'd miss what people talk about if you left, but a disruption to your TCP connection would not trigger leaving.
I suggest reading "Glow Kids" [1], and then telling how different is digital addiction from any other form of physical/chemical addiction.

While there are many healthy kids and highly functioning adults who grew up with electronics and playing games (myself included), the fact is that these last 10 years have been a landmine for kids and adults alike in terms of dark patterns and psychological manipulation at scale.

Far more interesting to me is the concept of assymetric protection...With bitcoin the private key...When one understands that any 256 bit input is a key, it becomes apparent that by simply hashing a given text one can obtain a key..I see too many people who do not get that a private key should not be something you can't remember..and I also see too many who do not get that it shouldn't be too easy to guess, either..For example, if you take a dictionary file of common words and you sha-256 hash each and check to see if any bitcoin history, you might be surprised how quickly you will find some. The input "Bitcoin" for example yields the key b4056df6691f8dc72e56302ddad345d65fead3ead9299609a826e2344eb63aa4, which is public address 1MriyRBVJZ73aeiaWL3NJBJo2Pa9BggSej, where money was moved four years ago. Or for another example, hexadecimal keys may be used. The Hexadecimal key "IKNOWTHEREALSATOSHI__CANIGETREP?" yields "494b4e4f575448455245414c5341544f5348495f5f43414e494745545245503f", a perfectly valid bitcoin private key. Public address:"1AJqgEpcLDU1tCpYVAHLaT13pCG42T8Uoq". Feel free to check it out yourself! The secret to Bitcoin is and always has been it's basis on cypherpunk culture. Sometimes it's as simple as a 80's-90's era dictionary attack where you can net some real money...
The Nest Hub Max is not a thermostat. It's basically a Google Home with a big speaker, a camera for video chat and a screen.

In one comment you made an incorrect assumption about what the product is, what Google is doing, proposed an imaginary situation about them doing something even worse and then drew a wild inference based on the title of the article.
I really wasn't interested in the role of time. I was just struck that Rust was not a lot faster than C. Even with strcpy, malloc, free, etc. all compiled, C should still be slow due to essentially no support for arrays with more than one subscript. Thus I would expect that a modern language with good array support would beat C and am surprised that Rust does not.

Array support is now very old stuff; gee, now we'd like balanced binary tree support, maybe AVL trees, maybe like the C++ collection classes, but compiled and not just classes with its too much indirection. And we'd like good multi-threading support. Some of that is in the .NET languages; then they have a shot at beating C. I would expect that any language taken seriously today would beat C, the K&R version, the ANSI version, some recent version, etc.

And I'd like a lot more, e.g., some good semantic guarantees from static code analysis.

BTW in my remark above, have to swap "syntax" and "semantics" -- we have good progress on syntax but less good on the more difficult semantics.

A practical challenge is given some code, say, 100 KLOC, maybe 1 MLOC, have some static analysis that reports some useful information. Then have some transformations that have some useful guaranteed properties. If current languages do not admit such, then try to come up with a new language that does and still is easy enough to use and fast enough.

Gee, I assumed that after all these years we'd get some progress -- that Rust doesn't run circles around C is disappointing.
Rebol springs to mind.
It's arguable that they might, actually, add this in the future, but ... it would probably show up as part of how you can use TypeScript to type-check your JavaScript code such as when it infers types from JSDoc.
They’re doing their job? It was a leak. Also ICE screwed up.
Hmm. I wonder what would happen if Apple bought them and then really put the screws to Qualcomm?
You could always get a non-electric kick scooter. Not quite as fast as the electric version, but faster than walking.

There is a balance to be struck, sure, but the duty of the press is to inform the public, not to act as censors or to determine what is or is not a matter of national security.

Patents don't give you markets either, they give the base patent holder control over the entire ecosystem.
Recognizing individual vehicles is actually really difficult from a distance, because all the features are small -- scratches and dints at the 0.1-50mm scale, mm scale paint irregularities visible in other wavelenghts, misalignment of panels, window stickers etc. So licence plates are a huge reduction in privacy.

Other digital transponders, either for tolling or just your devices broadcasting their Wifi/Bluetooth addresses, certainly cause problems but they are within your scope to control.

It would be interesting to see if you could design an adversarial LPR jammer, that would not look to a cop like a licence plate.

When I wrote 'rolling code' I was being a bit off the cuff.

A PKI based system might be something like: {nonce,E(rego_pub,(nonce,car ID, date, hour)),S(car_priv,(nonce,car ID, date, hour))}, where rego_pub is the public key of the local authority, car_priv is the private key of the car, E is encrypt, S is sign.

This is already quite complicated, requires central PKI etc. And unfortunately QR codes themselves are not a great fit, because you need to be close to read them, but you could have a variant designed for shorter strings.

Another possibility might be to use a (prefix, TOTP code). With a fixed prefix indexed on car model/year (which is already visible from looking at it), the set of all TOTP codes from that fleet at that time could easily be searched by the registration authority to identify which vehicle it was. So, e.g., all blue Toyota Camry 2018s would have prefix 'P9J' and then a 10 minute changing code, like 'Y3KE'.

So if a cop needs to look up a car the LPR reads P9JY3KE. The local terminal says it should be a blue Camry, and then sends the string to the validator, which computes the TOTP for all vehicles in the class (like, 2000 in a group) and see if any of them match. If none match, pull them over.

There are a few problems with this still, e.g. replay attacks. But possibly solved by using IFF techniques, i.e. the police car can send a signed query forcing the named plate to show more digits of the TOTP code.

Criminals just steal the plates off another vehicle (of the same model/color if they are smarter), so maybe they can just steal the whole digital licence plate computer module? Unless the smart licence plate is part of the vehicle security system, on the car bus, it is still going to happen.

The whole IOV (Internet of Vehicles), V2V (Vehicle to Vehicle) space is going to have to deal with these problems, and there is no shortage of protocols but I don't think it is remotely solved. Lots of companies pushing 5G approaches for this, but I wonder if transponders like for aircraft (ADS-B) or ships (AIS) won't be a simpler (and much cheaper) way, even if they are still using mm wave radios.
Why ICE Fails of Urban Warfare Facility ?
Cheaper houses allow more people to own houses. Wood frame houses take less wood than full timber houses, and are safer in a earth quake or hurricane than stone or brick.

That is incorrect unless by "last few years" you mean last 25-30. When I was studying Philosophy in the early 90's we read Heidegger and the professor started that section with a discussion on whether we could separate the philosophy from the politics.
The press is partially there to disagree with or at least critique such subjective judgments.

OT, but looking at this neighbourhood, it's not surprising that there's trouble when a hurricane comes.
Which has absolutely nothing to do with isolation. The two processors are not ‘interconnected’, they are separate and can only communicate through defined interfaces. That’s isolation. If there is a backdoor on one processor that grants access to the other the problem is that backdoor and not some nebulous interconnection.

If your computer runs a backdoor that grants access to anyone who can access it over the network, the problem that someone from China can now control your computer is not the fault of the Internet. It’s the fault of that program.

And also ‘most of phones’ in the article is ‘Android phones’ and then it’s watered down even more to ‘Samsung Galaxy phones’. ‘In most devices, for all we know, [...]’. No.
The fifth estate isn't an apparatus of the government. Sometimes, it must act counter to the interests of the government.

This is a very poor description of this formula for e^x - it isn’t a miracle at all that it converges!

It’s pretty simple. The numerators are x^n. The denominators are n!. For any x, the denominators grow faster than the numerators, so it’s no surprise that it converges. The ratio only starts shrinking when n > x but you can see that with high school math.

Somehow all these largish random numbers manage to cancel out almost completely.

No, they aren’t “largish random numbers”, it’s just the ratio between two series, one of which grows asymptotically faster than the other.
Because most of them are built on spec, by a builder company that doesn’t have any buyers lined up for them, and they need to squeeze them out as quickly and cheaply as they can, so that the builder can turn around and sell them as quickly as possible for maximum profit.

Of course, the people hired to do the work are intentionally pushed to cut as many corners as possible, and frequently paid criminally low wages.

Which means you tend to get younger, less experienced workers who are willing to do the back-breaking labor for really long hours per day, because they are in terror that their jobs will be gone the next day.

And you can’t keep up doing that kind of heavy labor for those kinds of hours for long. You age out rapidly from that kind of a job. And then you get replaced by a younger and cheaper and much less experienced version of you.

I know I'm a mid to senior level full stack developer but imposter syndrome keeps coming back. I hate interviewing and remote jobs are hard to find.

I'm also feeling a lot of burn out but I think that stems from quality and lack of a strong client pipeline.

My stack is Laravel/Vue but I find myself bored with that wanting to work more on node or go with hasura as a graphql api, or work on rust or clojure so I can learn to think and code in a different way. Or possibly move to pentesting or devops.

I think just joining an exciting startup could be enough to end some of the despair. I really miss working on a team. Freelancing is getting super old.

If you need a top notch developer hit me up.. Vue, react, Angular, Laravel, Adonis, Bulma, Bootstrap, Express, Postgres, Mongodb, GraphQL, Rest, Ruby, PHP, Python, Ionic. Framework, Cordova, Quasar Framework.

I'd also be willing to do project or product management.

It’s just a fancy SWAT team training facility. Probably has “Warfare” in the name because it’s getting built on Ft. Benning, an Army base. Wouldn’t be surprised if the facility gets shared with Army units who also do indoor and urban combat training.

I didn’t even take in the smaller thinks like sexual harassment training into consideration.

Reading over your article definitely makes it seem impossible in the current state we’re in. This will definitely require higher prices for the services.

How do you feel about the bill? Are you for or against it. From what I read your article seemed pretty objective.
They even made customizing the Discord client in any way against the ToS. The hostility toward interop is the one thing I really dislike about them. They do so much else well.

It’s not the formality of your language that is creativity negative attention for your org. It’s the hyperbole and inaccuracy.

It’s quite possible to be accurate in my language and still speak informally.

It bugs me a little that you seem to be deflecting criticism and minimizing it rather than just accepting it and moving on. I didn’t think your headline wasn’t “diplomatic” enough and don’t think that’s relevant to this comment hierarchy where you respond.
It's more like at each step from n -> n+1, our understanding grows by some amount. The way you write it seems to imply that no information is gained until some arbitrary point when n is extremely large.

If you're used to the cheapo Razor scooters, it's worlds apart, even from the larger-wheeled Razor A5.

The relative speed depends on the terrain. If you're on concrete sidewalks, like I am, I'd say it's 3x faster. If you're on asphalt, then 4x is reasonable. Downhill, 5x easily.
At 35mpg that’s essentially 43 gallons of gas a year or $111 worth at $2.50/gallon (~national average). So yeah, $1000 seems about right but likely people would pay more just to use less fossil fuels. I would.

The car would not rely on the solar panel for constant operation, so the same thing that happens to escalators when they stop working and becomes stairs—-the solar powered car just becomes a normal hybrid or electric vehicle. Then you get it fixed.

I wonder how much of California's total gaseous emmissions is comprised of the CO2 that the state's people exhale.
Not enough of an incentive for who? 80$/month is like a quarter of what a lot of people get when they're unemployed over here in Western Europe. It makes a massive amount of difference. Those people don't have cars.

But more infrastructure for the non-cars means gradually, cars make less and less sense to own. Again, Western Europe. These are countries where the cities are fine to live and work in without a vehicle.

They tried to cut cold, dead hide with the "3D printed" knife. Anyone else think the hide might be tougher than taut, live tissue? They also only went on the Inuit diet for four days before trying it. And they didn't say how long it was frozen for. They also pointed out that the knife started melting pretty quickly after being exposed to the hide - this wouldn't happen in the arctic.
MapKit JavaScript (Beta)
After all of these years I am surprised at the number of new clients that are written against an SFTP back-end.

For instance, foldersync[1], restic[2], rclone[3][4], and for ESX(i) (!!) I have just learned of "VerticalBackup"[5].

It makes me happy that a stock, standard OpenSSH serving up what is basically a UNIX home directory is still so powerful and useful.

Contrast this with the elegance and state of the art that is ZFS and how immutable snapshots simultaneously solve both retention schedules and ransomware/mallory[6].

Imagine how famous he would be if Bell Labs had been allowed to sell UNIX instead of giving its source code away with a symbolic price.

Hundreds of developers used Basic, Pascal, C, Modula-2, Assembly, Forth productively.

Maybe we should have kept using them, instead of coming up with programming languages that require a PhD. /s

Preliminary Fact-Finding about MIT and Jeffrey Epstein
I will take the contrary viewpoint. It matters what mathematics we consider to be beautiful and intuitive, because better mathematical intuition will make you better at solving mathematical problems.

On that note, I think e^i pi = -1 is drastically overrated. That is typically the definition of exponentiating to a complex power, that e^ix = sin x + i cos x. Of course something can be beautiful if you take it to be an axiom. It’s like saying x=x is beautiful. Also it’s really just sticking -1 in the more-intuitive, more-useful formula so that it looks cool.

A really beautiful formula is that x^p - x is divisible by p when x is an integer and p is prime....

Converging isn't a surprise. This giant mishmash somehow converging near zero is a surprise, and getting something with e is even more of a surprise.

Nowhere in the post does it express surprise about the fact that each series converges on something.

Separately, "largish random numbers" is a perfectly fine way to describe the start of the series, which is the most important part for influencing what it eventually converges on. Somehow despite each series getting increasingly enormous before dropping back toward zero, the convergence point ends up less and less perturbed by those enormous terms.

Do I as non-citizen have a right to vote in whatever country I want, just because I have an opinion on the matter being voted? Access to citizenship is also limited by descent, wealth, or your conscientiousness. It is also ‘unfair’ if you interpret this word as ‘not instantly accessible to anyone who expresses interest’.

It appears that the claims about a disqualified donor list were substantially false, and that donations from Epstein were accepted with the knowledge and approval of MIT administration.

Additionally, the administration directed that the donations be kept anonymous to avoid using the institution to enhance Epstein's reputation.

This supports some of the position's taken by Lessig that many posters on HN took issue with, and reveals that Ito's role was substantially different than many were making it out to be.
All those Alex Jones fans are going to be so surprised when it turns out to be ICE running the domestic prison camps instead of FEMA.
Who’s an Ethical Hacker?
Ethical Hacking definition
An ethical hacker (also known as a white-hat hacker) is the ultimate security professional. Ethical hackers know how to find and exploit vulnerabilities and weaknesses in various systems—just like a malicious hacker (or a black hat hacker). In fact, they both use the same skills; however, an ethical hacker uses those skills in a legitimate, lawful manner to try to find vulnerabilities and fix them before the bad guys can get there and try to break in.

An ethical hacker’s role is similar to that of a penetration tester, but it involves broader duties. They break into systems legally and ethically. This is the primary difference between ethical hackers and real hackers—the legality.
