He's shielded by russia. Were he in any other country he'd be in a US cell alone. Funny how one has to hide in Russia to preach encryption!
I haven't read this in detail, but according to commentary here [1] it sounds like they don't actually have 40-year returns, they have 10-year data and extrapolate.

Which is a massively different thing, and as you would expect would favor things closer to trade school (immediately useful) rather than the sort of careers people going to top schools are likely to aim for (many of which have high pay much later).

Looks to me like they are looking at only going a short distance. I doubt you could get more than 100 meters like that, but if you only need 100 meters of tunnel it is probably cheaper because it is faster.

How does the US banning encryption help it on the global stage where other countries continue to encrypt their messages?

Other manufacturers have done it, look at MINI.

That started off as a Morris Mini-Minor, turned into a Morris Mini/Austin Mini, then just a Mini, then Rover Mini, then BMW turned it into it's own brand, MINI.

Ford are presumably just taking the brand awareness of the Mustang to create a sub-brand of performance cars. Which makes sense as people all over the world are aware of the Mustang.

> So you don't reckon representative democracy works at all.

This seems to me like an uncharitable interpretation of what he said. If one part of it "works", then saying it doesn't work at all is a false statement. The correct question is, to what degree does democracy "work", in 2019 - I believe the year is an important component of the question, because most people's conception of democracy is abstract theory, and disregards the increasing complexity of the world.

The degree to which democracy "works".

Top Memorization Techniques to Boost Your Memory
It wasn’t. It was Chinese without any ambiguity[2] because of the word order[1]. Also, Japanese equivalent would have been longer and used characters specific to Japanese (hiragana) to write flexion of the verb, and casual particles.

[1] One could argue it may have been kanbun, that is Classical Chinese read with Japanese readings, but I think the character meaning cat was written in its simplified form (which is the same in Japanese and Simplified Chinese) so this rule this out. And someone which that much knowledge would state it if it was the case.

[2] Edit: the choice of vocabulary, while existing in Chinese, leaned a bit towards Japanese. I'm asking native Chinese speaker for confirmation. So, it was a weird mix, but not real Japanese.

And yet we're having an eerily identical discussion to the one that happened 10 - 12 years ago. Among the Porsche faithful, it was patently absurd, if not offensive. The press treated it as a marketing stunt. One is a make and one is a model, but in a world where tech companies routinely treat product lines as mini-brands, that just looks like savvy modern marketing.
> gas isn't getting any cheaper.

On the contrary, cheap gas is here to stay.

At $60/bbl or so, fracking and tar sands/shale oil become profitable and those huge reserves come into play keeping a cap on the price. Technological change and/or pipelines can and likely will reduce that $60 cap.

Also, wind energy is becoming insanely cheap. That can't replace much oil usage, but it does replace it at the margins, and it's the margins that affect the price.

The only thing that will raise the price of gas is a carbon tax or equivalent, and we're not going to get that without a change of administration.

The bigger tunnel people have proven success, while the small tunnel people just have hype.

People shut up about electric cars over hydrogen when electric proved itself. Note that back when this started there were many hydrogen naysayers who pointed out all the problems the hydrogen proponents have faced. The electric car people got lucky that lithium batteries advanced to where they could work - 20 years ago this wasn't a given to battery experts.
Question: why have the protocol based on pixels when you could use vanilla css and html? Like SSR, you could render the page with js remotely and capture the live html/css render to display. Of course, this process would be tricky as you'd also have to look for iframes and also generate bake out its render too. While much more complex, it would be far more efficient than sending back a pixel video stream.
Well, I'm not aware of any case law to suggest that the right would not apply. Until the question is decided either way, it makes sense to assume that it would be applicable.

What bothers me more about "expiry" of car seats is that this logic isn't applied to other toys.

My parents gave me some Duplos from the 80s. After looking it up, the red and yellow bricks contained unsafe levels of cadmium. Legos are often advertised as being lifetime toys that can be passed down but this just isn't true.

I'd like to see mandatory UPC codes etched into toys/car seats/strollers so that they can be identified for recalls. That way this nonsense about 'expiry' of otherwise durable goods can stop while overall safety improves.

Its planed obsolesce. Intel wants you to buy new hardware.
a) Common lisp was already in undead state when Javascript became big. Semi-dead languages as a rule have worse tooling for "new" stuff.

b) Clojure didn't really fully succeed, there were annoying differences between Clojure and Clojurescript last time I looked. There are compilers for incomplete subsets of CL to JS as well, although presumably much worse ones.

c) There's some stuff in Common Lisp that's quite hard to do efficiently on top of most existing language runtimes. For example resumable exceptions and lua/CL-style optional multiple return values. In assembler or without concern for efficiency the last one is trivial, otherwise, not so much.

d) Clojurescript could bootstrap existing fancy JVM platform stuff (closure compiler) to do quite a lot of heavy lifting.

Not trying to defend intel, just trying to offer a (somewhat justified) answer:

If people are using more streaming services, that means Intel should focus more on their Integrated Graphics platforms. If people are downloading significantly more data than ever before, they should probably make sure their networking drivers receive more support.

Knowing how people use their PC's, even by category, can help Intel manage its driver development.

Tied to user for 3 years. From a law enforcement perspective I’m more interested in the ‘other devices in your computing environment’. They state they are generating a random UID tied to your system, so I assume if I know the UID from the suspect computer then a warrant could be issued to Intel for this information.
Even Nobodies Have Fans Now
I like the everclear analogy!

We're experiencing a product made by the underground cannabis community for that community -- habitual consumers. The tolerance level of a habitual consumer is really high. So, for decades, breeders chose to continue growing the strongest strain, every time, for years and years. Then, when commercial players entered the market, they took those high-thc strains and put them through even greater quality controls, making strains even more potent.

This is changing, but not too quickly as the business-minded people running cannabis companies are still trying to validate their first business model and aren't adapting to demand as quickly as tech entrepreneurs do. Successful 2:1 product lines will attract business and then companies will respond. More craft beer and wine, less everclear. Better experiences in cafes.

To play devil's advocate, such a thing as transcribing Western names phonetically using Chinese characters does exist, both in contemporary Chinese and in other historical or minority Chinese-derived languages, as well as in old Japanese.

I'm unclear how this could help law enforcement deter or solve crimes.

Yes, in the presentation they specifically mentioned that the hood was lengthened when the Mustang branding was decided on.
It's interesting to note that this abuser was caught precisely because people looked at the images of the abuse and figured out that they had to be from the Netherlands. I suspect that this describes a non-trivial portion of successful prosecutions - especially of those responsible for a lot of abuse, as with this case.

In the 80's and 90's, trespassing was a kind of hipster sport in Pittsburgh. There were numerous abandoned steel mills and factories-- these were huge facilities that had stopped operating years ago and were left to the elements. Since many of us lived near these structures, it was irresistible to explore them and see what's inside. Photographically, they're amazing subjects. They're also a dream-canvas for graffiti artists. It was also cool to just be there in the middle of the night with your friends, in a place that was so alien from everyplace else in the city.

That said, property management doesn't see it that way. For them, it's a liability. These places are dangerous, there are often no lights and steep drops without guard rails. Sometimes the floor is just missing in places. Sharp objects everywhere and no easy way to get help if there's an accident. And if something did happen, who is to blame if a hipster falls down a chute 50 feet onto concrete? Not easy to say (regardless of what you may think). Security guards patrolled the area and would investigate any flashlights or people sightings. Worst case scenario you would get a citation, though our crew never got caught (in steel mills).

In less dangerous buildings, things were more loose. If you had a camera and were there to take cool shots, security was apt to just kick you out. A camera was like a kind of "passport" for trespassers. Graffiti artists got a much harder response.
Those inter-city highways are heavily used by people commuting through metropolitan areas. For example the only way to drive from the second largest city (San Francisco) to the third largest city (Oakland) in the Bay Area is over an interstate highway.
Very well said, and I think you've hit the nail on the head with regards to the 'deregulation agenda'. The subtext of articles like this is always that interference, in the form of regulations, is a negative action, and by stripping away the messy human meddling we'll reap the rewards. It's never considered that the human meddling is so often done to protect the humans themselves, most often the very weakest or most powerless.

since nearly nobody else federated with them

federation with xmpp doesn't need to be configured. it is automatic. all you need to do is to send a message to someone on a different server. i am not on google, so i used this all the time to talk to people on google. until they stopped.

to get advanced features, google would have had to create a client that uses those features. much like they created the chrome browser.

i guess there just wasn't enough value in doing so. and there were to few people like me who communicated from the outside.

Well, you're saying metrics and they're saying web browsing data.

You're probably thinking metrics because that's how the program is presented: as a way to help ensure Intel products and drivers are performing well.

But what does browsing data have to do with that?

E.g. I notice the privacy policy covering this data specifically allows them to use the data they collect for advertising and allows them to let their partners use it for advertising as well.

Is that what you were expecting from the Intel CIP?
Svelte Boilerplate
Cut and cover is only cheaper if you are going shallow. The deeper the tunnel the more expensive it is. If you have to cross an existing subway tunnel you have to go under it - even if we allow you to shutdown the existing subway for months cut and cover the additional depth is more expensive than just tunneling the whole thing. If there is a sewer line across any street you need to reroute that somehow to cut and cover. Same problem for water mains, electric, phone, cable, internet...

It quickly is cheaper to tunnel than to make plans for each thing you need to work around to cut and cover.

This is a really awful attitude. It's not okay to break into people's stuff, even if he's "mister evil big-corp". Especially since kids having parties tend to leave a horrible mess. Stuff usually gets stolen, too.

There's a deep sense of personal violation that comes from having one's house broken into; while that is probably lesser for people with more than one house, it's still wrong. Most people who support this sort of thing wouldn't loan their houses out for parties, I notice; if one wouldn't lone out his own house, why might he think it better to loan out Mr. Bezos'?
Appreciate the detailed response. Over the past few years I've seen a couple of similar remote browser services and was curious who actually need it, glad you shared firsthand knowledge.

Now I can see that while this would probably be an overkill security-conscious individuals, it might make sense for organizations because there are always employees who can be easily tricked into clicking anything. I do wonder whether it's more effective and productive to instead enforce host-based blocking + browser-level content blocking + lightweight virtualization (like Windows Sandbox? Not sure how well it works since I'm a Mac user for the most part), but I'm in no position to evaluate for organizations.

Having checked Symantec's website, they seem to advocate falling back to a remote browser when the site is potentially risky, which sounds reasonable.

> then for clients with browsers that support WebP (chrome) I switch on WebP since the quality increase is a LOT

Yeah, I first tried the service on my iPad Pro, image quality was terrible. I have since tried it again in desktop Chrome and it's definitely passable. That's unfortunate.

Anyway, I'm probably not in the target market, but best of luck to your business.

Did the company end up being forced to giving their code including the proprietary algorithms?
In your example, who gets to decide who will use the "private" property? The government? The person who got there first? Does it become a sort of law of the Jungle that the person to defend a place is the one who gets to enjoy the view? At least in the latter the property is truly owned by the public. But in the former, you simply made the government the rent seeker instead of a individual person or company. The end result is no different.
As strange as it is, the average person has many an opinion on roads and road maintenance, but very little understanding of the costs involved and where the money comes from. Also, I agree that everyone does want everything for nothing and complain vociferously if those free things are taken away.
That's also depends on the society. Obviously it wouldn't benefit the interpol in this case.

For companies, they would have to change their business model that is not relying on trade secret, I would even argue that not having to spend time, money or effort to protect trade secret is a benefit.
Deeper tunnels cut and cover get expensive fast, bored tunnels are about the same cost at any depth.
