I don't understand the timeline you're implying. Snowden did blow the whistle on this program, in 2013. Your link was from 2015, and now it's 2019, if I'm not mistaken. Snowden has lost the access he had before his whistleblowing. It will take another whistleblower to reveal the scale of current unsupervised malfeasance.
All the other car manufacturers are way behind Tesla in pretty much every metric, the most important of which are energy efficiency and safety. Even the much, much more expensive Porsche Taycan S turbo has some margin only in track driving and it will be pretty much destroyed next year by the Tesla S with plaid mode (just looking at the unofficial Nurburgring times) and the new roadster will literally lap it.

Obama commuted the sentence of Chelsea Mannings. So may be there was a better scenario for Snowden? But we can only speculate at this point.

Not according to the EU:

> “Freely given” consent essentially means you have not cornered the data subject into agreeing to you using their data. For one thing, that means you cannot require consent to data processing as a condition of using the service. They need to be able to say no. According to Recital 42, “Consent should not be regarded as freely given if the data subject has no genuine or free choice or is unable to refuse or withdraw consent without detriment.”

> What’s the importance of trac performance in this context?

OP said the Model 3 was a superior vehicle, I was stating why it might not be.

> The Tuscan also quickly runs out of charge at top speed and then be forced into a car or battery swap.

The meat of my comment was about batteries overheating, not being drained. We have no idea how well Porsche will cool their batteries in their car until someone has had a chance to test it.

> PS: At the extreme Indy cars average 1.92 MPG, batteries are just a poor fit for any kind of endurance racing.

This is a disingenuous comparison. We are talking about street vehicles you or I can buy and drive on public roads, not track-only vehicles that cost more than a house anywhere but the Bay Area.

I also think it's disingenuous to call a half hour of racing an endurance run. I think it's more accurate to say batteries are a poor fit for racing with the exception of drag races.
>Every piece of market news that says "market change X, because incident Y" is pure speculation since there is no way to establish Y as the cause.

This is not correct. There are many market news items that can be directly attributed to another event. Boeing's numbers this week are directly attributable to the Max fiasco. The company and analysts agree on this. Why would you assert that it's "pure speculation."
If you just say "Haha, suckers, you trusted me but I'm deleting your stuff, you lose", then yes, you're a colossal jerk. On the other hand, if you can't do it forever, and you give them warning so they have time to find alternate places to store their stuff, then I don't see any problem.
Anything that can be used to identify the user is considered personal data. Even something innocent enough like screen resolution can be personal data if you’ve got someone with a unique browser window size (let’s say they have a custom window manager that makes the window slightly smaller than the common screen resolution, and it never changes because it’s a filing window manager and they always keep the browser in the same place).
Funny, the I-35 bridge also came to mind for me. I used to work right at St Anthony Main and often drove that bridge around the time it collapsed.
That's the world some have built. There are other approaches to this such as the apple store and linux repositories, they contain trusted software with various degrees of vetting and it's extremely rare to have to install something I don't trust, sand boxing is a good idea for those apps though.

A huge problem in software is that the trade off for security is almost always usability and/or convenience.
I don't see why you would think they're anything but profit driven entities. That's literally what a corporation is. If they didn't make a profit, they wouldn't exist. It's not cynicism, it's reality.

Does anyone else find it a bit off-color to crack a password at all without permission? It seems to me like taking a photograph of a person in the shower then saying "yeah but we'll only publish the nude photo with permission." Yeah the password is no longer secure and bad people do bad things like this ilegally all the time - so don't be one of them, it's just yuk. Have some respect for privacy and don't invade it without permission FIRST.

Maybe a correct title is creeps crack Bill Joy's password without permission - or did they get permission first?

Hi, I'm in Eastern Time Zone USA and I'm looking for someone interested in helping me build a cross-platform mobile and web app for keeping track of car maintenance tasks.
I have an above average set of development and team leading experience for someone only recently out of college (https://github.com/baylessj), but I would greatly appreciate someone with more experience in developing profitable projects or simply another developer to collaborate with.
I'm currently developing the app in Flutter, you can view my progress and some degree of planning in the project's github repo here: https://github.com/autodo-app/autodo
I would prefer someone in a similar time zone to me, but that's not a hard requirement.
You can reach me at: contact [at] autodo.app!

The default configuration for most linux distros is to set 127.0.0.1 as the resolver in /etc/resolv.conf, and then something like systemd-resolved takes care of doing the "right thing".

> ISPs need to realize that they are strictly a utility now. They used to provide TV service, but nobody wants linear TV and can just send their money directly to the company that produces the TV content and have it delivered over IP.

Right, I think Comcast realized that. That's why they _are_ the company the creates the TV content. They own Universal Studios, NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, USA Network, Syfy, Dreamworks, etc.
Google owns Calendar... but Calendar is written by their employees, the very people they're trying to control. Using a separate browser extension means a small team can manage this code and it isn't affected by larger teams' access to the project.
This misses the point. The issue isn't whether the border crossing checkpoint is at the literal line separating the countries. I didn't mean "at the border" in the sense of "one foot in Canada and one in the US"; I meant "intending to enter the United States from Canada". (That's what the lawyer quoted in the article says: "It is incumbent on CBP to determine when someone is actually trying to enter or leave the country.") Nobody cares that the Canada border crossing is a few hundred yards away from the actual 49th parallel. People do care that someone who obviously didn't mean to cross the border at all was detained for interacting with customs and forgetting ID, when they were making a good-faith effort to obey the customs laws.

The fact that nobody expects to be detained for the equivalent of a DMV trip is a good indication that this was "unreasonable" per the plain meaning of the word. Maybe case law says otherwise. But ask a "reasonable" person on the street what the appropriate response of a customs agent to someone (citizen or not) who forgot their ID to take care of some bureaucratic hurdle on a package is, especially when the agency was supposed to be aware of the person's arrival (note the mention of the email in the article). That's what I care about.

I should mention, by the way, that the pedestrian lane at a US-Canada border crossing typically has a queue on the Canada side, and the border agent calls groups in one-by-one, just as at an airport. I have no idea how someone just trying to interact with customs, who drove up and parked their car on the US side, could be confused with someone trying to enter the US. It's worth looking at a map of the Peace Bridge [1]. This isn't a checkpoint some ways away from the border; it's a road with one way into the US, through the checkpoint (and the Niagara River in between the two countries!) Unless you have a flying car, there is no way you could end up with a car on the US side without having already gone through border security. The incompetence itself is ridiculous.

I think that's a problem on every platform; on Apple News, if I read an article that's actual news that involves a celebrity somehow ("Tom Hanks murders 12, dies in hail of gunfire") I get a deluge of celebrity gossip ("OMG you won't believe what Kylie Jenner's cousin's brother's hairstylist said")articles for weeks.

> no matter how right he believed himself to be.

Does it change anything for you if it wasn't just his opinion, but some sort of majority consensus instead—even if that only arrives in the history books? (Only asking in principle, as a hypothetical—not making the claim that Snowden in fact was right.)

There seems to be a fundamental problem with what you're proposing here—of course the vigilante approach is riddled with obvious issues too, but I just want to point out that what you're describing isn't clearly an effective way of dealing with things either.

You're basically saying the system works and we should trust it to evaluate and handle Snowden correctly: we have Congress, and they'll make the right choices if not the president.

But, the giant government programs exposed by Snowden are already a striking example of how we can't rely on Congress, at least to handle this matter correctly. Why would we assume the same entity which created the problems that were exposed is going to then handle the exposer fairly?

(I don't know the precise link between the exposed programs and Congress—so maybe they are separate/unrelated enough that my suggestion is inaccurate.)
The other thing that happened was the separation between the defence and civilian parts of the business was removed. The defence part of the organisation was used to a lower standard of rigor and was used to delivering products which weren't up to quality standards because of the close relationship that the vendor and customer has in the military and the long timelines and large budgets for maintenance, etc.

Sand boxing is a power user thing, non power users don't understand it, don't even look at permissions let alone understand them, they just learn to click yes to everything to make stuff happen.

It's a solution created by power users, only usable by power users that gets in the way of power users.
Just want to say that CPU is often the bottleneck for end users on old hardware and low-end laptops.

For example, youtube doesn't play well, because the hardware is too slow to decode a full HD video stream in real time. No kidding, that's actually a big driver for people to buy newer hardware, people really care about youtube.

Another example. Loading a modern website with 10 MB of javascript bundles. It takes 5-10 seconds to process all that javascript in chrome (on developer workstations), which is slow but fine. Unfortunately that's 15-30 seconds on laptops and mobiles for end users, that is quite a lot, enough that people leave thinking the site is broken.

The GPS has to shut off when going faster than a certain speed or higher than a certain altitude. IIRC the GPS maker can decided which they want to follow, and most chose to stop working at high altitude. It’s possible but more difficult to find a GPS that will work with high altitude balloons.
I may be the last person to join the party, but I do not understand how Dns over HTTPS hides me from my ISP.

From my understanding to fetch a url, my make a request to the dns server. If I do it unencrypted, the isp sees the request in plain text. They know where I am going.

But when I do it over DoH, I send an encrypted DNS request to a service, of my choosing, that gives me the ip address of my destination. (is this correct?)

Now, in order to reach that destination ip address, don't I have to use the ISP? Aren't they the ones routing me my request to the destination? Even if it is under HTTPS, the destination has to be known, right? I'm sure I am missing a piece of the puzzle, but where exactly I don't know.
I ignore pretty much anything that happens on twitter. I don't have any friends that use twitter either. Most are Instagram users and share moments and thoughts on that platform. The media gives Twitter its power because it amplifies the tweets politicians and others make.
> That is why it's unnerving to see politicians and corporations so readily bend over backwards to appease Twitter.

You're right, and it really doesn't help that plenty of media outlets either rewrite Twitter activity into a story, or quote tweets in their articles. This has a huge amplifying affect on the power of Twitter. It feels like it's representative, though it's far from it.
Mate, the first thing you do when you find a forum that sells things where there is no actual market place, you build that marketplace!

Valve never had an engineering focus. It was always product/design.

And they still have that focus. People just can’t handle that they’ve shifted from content (Half Life) to platforms (Steam, Vive).

But that transition happened a LONG time ago. Even Team Fortress, Portal, and DOTA are less of Valve properties and more of Indie mods that Valve has nurtured into tentpole properties.

They’re in their third act, from Game Producer, to Mod Publisher/App Store to Next Gen Hardware Platform Company. Don’t expect them to backslide from there.

Nothing of your characterization rings true to me. But maybe I’m missing something.
No, the real reason had nothing to do with electricity. In fact dual taps were entrenched before electricity was common place.

Mythbusters have done several demonstrations over the years of what happens when you take a hot water heater, disable both of the over pressure valves, and break the thermostat so that it doesn't turn off. They explode spectacularly.

Early water heaters had zero overpressure valves. And thermostats are not particularly reliable even today. So exploding a home wasn't particularly uncommon.

In the UK, they made a low tech solution to this problem. Look in your toilet, in the back. There is a level sensor. If there is insufficient water, more is added. Imagine taking a large one of these and putting it in your attic. When you drain out of it, gravity provides the pressure. Now put a heater under it attached to a thermostat.

If the thermostat fails, either you have cold water (failed closed) or boiling water in your attic and there's fucking steam everywhere (failed open) but you notice and shut it off. If the level sensor fails, you either get water pouring into your house and you turn it off, or the hot water turns off and you investigate. Under no circumstances can pressure build up and explode the house.

Of course in like the 1880s better safety mechanisms were developed so it's fucking ludicrous it's still like this but whatever I'm not the king of england.

edit: I forgot the punch line. These are open top devices so all manner of shit got into your hot water. They kept separate taps to ensure that when you were pouring cold water for food, you knew it was clean and not contaminated with your hot water. Why they're ok with showering in shit water is something you'd have to ask a Brit.

Then just put 127.0.0.1 in /etc/resolv.conf. nsswitch, particularly for hostname resolution, is fundamentally broken as it doesn't work well with asynchronous software architecture; nor does it work well in languages that don't depend on libc.

Systemd already supports being a local resolver, but see OpenBSD's unwind (https://man.openbsd.org/unwind) for an attempt to seamlessly handle DNSSEC, DoT (and eventually DoH), local Wi-Fi portals, and other issues.

I run a security program called Comodo Internet Security on Windows 7 (admin). It have a feature that blocks all new software from starting, downloading to accessing the filesystems important folders and files. It also blocks software from accessing internet.
It can be a bit dialog heavy until you have set it up.
It is a good software when you have configured it properly.
Have never had anyone break in via internet nor any malicious software issues. Although Ive got common sense when it comes to what is safe to download but still I like Comodo (most of the time).

When the OS cant deliver you can find software that do. So why the whining about the OS security? For example the first thing I install is a proper Firewall >with advanced configuration control<.

Comodo even stopped the malicious Windows 10 update with malicious dialog design hiding how to close it and a delay timer so it can start the update without user consent. Comodo is not supposed to stop updates to but my configuration must have been why it did. And we all know that malicious updateS liked to remove personal files and software installed by the user. Im thankful for comodo. I later disabled the malicious updateS (since there were many attempts to make it run, they changed the update name several times). Nasty and malicious indeed.
