No, you can't. His point is that you can say definitively that Chinese companies are controlled by government agencies, though.

You might be interested to learn about the Gehl Door Average, a metric that Jan Gehl came up with (based on his book Cities for People). It measures the number of doors per 100 meters of street frontage, and is a contributing factor to walkability: https://streets.mn/2014/11/06/front-doors-and-walkable-citie...

In a nutshell: This watches critical kernel data and reports or acts on atypical changes to normally static data.

Linux Kernel Runtime Guard (LKRG) is a loadable kernel module that performs runtime integrity checking of the Linux kernel and detection of security vulnerability exploits against the kernel. As controversial as this concept is, LKRG attempts to post-detect and hopefully promptly respond to unauthorized modifications to the running Linux kernel (integrity checking) or to credentials (such as user IDs) of the running processes (exploit detection). For process credentials, LKRG attempts to detect the exploit and take action before the kernel would grant the process access (such as open a file) based on the unauthorized credentials.

What does "controlled by government agencies" mean?
Nope. One of my first experiences with removing many lines of code was in college. It was a compilers project (we had to hand-write it, no YACC or anything). I had written about 10k lines of code in a flurry of activity, and discovered some really gnarly bugs.

I spent a day with just a pencil and paper, considering each detail of the algorithms and came up with several key insights which reduced the whole thing to about 1k lines of code. The reduction was a combination of C macros (which I wouldn't use today, but I'd use higher-order functions to accomplish the same thing now) and just smart generic code (no special handling of an add operator versus a multiplication operator, they were both binary operators; differentiating the output for each case happened in one place at the end).

That was when I found out I liked deleting code. I'll happily reduce a code base by 90% if the result is clearer and easier to maintain or extend.
Because of the new released documents. It says exactly this in their story. And why is it every time some article comes out about US spying, there is always someone complaining that they knew this all along? Good for you?

There are also other hints that line up with this. The mortality rate in the recent 1000+ case study seems to be much higher in males, but the rate of smoking in China is also much higher in males, which could be a clue.

Navigated a bit through website and how it works. It would be nice if I can state once my location and the conversion is done under the hood. Maybe after using it I would get used of it, but for now it seems like a lot of work. I like the way the slack has it when you click to some user and tells what is the local time for that user.
If anything I would expect less knowledgeable people to be more skeptical and cautious than somebody who has a vested interest and passion for technology. I can't imagine anybody other than a tech enthusiast who would maintain trust in a self driving car technology that previously attempted to veer them into a barrier.

But worse, now you're at the mercy of inclement weather. Near where I live there's a movie theatre at the center of one of these outdoors shopping mall. You line up outside the building to buy tickets. It's a nod to the old-time theatre with the kiosk and ticket-taker but it's cold to queue up in the winter and miserably hot in the summer. There's no awning or overhang or trees. One good-ish thing: in the summer they turn on the outside fountains and kids play there, in the evenings people hang out outside. But it's all driven by commerce, it's not a place that people just gravitate to, it doesn't have its own sense of place, the way a small little urban park is its own place. I wish there were more tiny little urban parks, nothing major, just a small oasis with trees, grass, and some benches. But because we're surrounded by a concrete ocean, who would ever drive to such an insignificant park and enjoy it. The bench will attract the homeless, even less reason to make this space. I can't even articulate the problem - other than infrastructure seems to be going in the wrong direction.

I mean, that's a deep philosophical question that depends on how libertarian you lean, how rational you think we are as humans, and whether people have access to perfect information.

There are plenty of "voluntary transactions" that society has found necessary to either ban or at least regulate. High-interest loans are regulated in many countries, precisely because they can be predatory, but so are things like drugs. Even legal drugs are pretty heavily regulated for many reasons, including making sure consumers are aware of both the benefit and harm/side-effects that can occur.
Metro Bank is going through some difficulties, to say the least, right now.

First Direct and Marks and Spencer are brands of HSBC. First Direct is independent enough that you get a very different service from them compared to vanilla HSBC.

As others have said, Co-op is owned by private equity now. When they were a true co-op, you could forgive them the odd bit of sloppy service but there's no excuse now.

If I were coming to the UK for the first time, I'd see if a local bank in my country (usually it's HSBC or Santander) could offer to help me set up when a UK account with their local subsidiary. KYC, credit checks, etc can make opening an account difficult when you're new to the country.

Humans operate by doing each other favours. You'll find you intuitively know who you've done a favour for and who you owe a favour to. It's inherent to being humans and three year olds can do it - as science has discovered.(https://www.en.uni-muenchen.de/news/newsarchiv/2016/paulus_s...)

I'm gonna focus on certbot since it's the main player in this space but there are other ACME clients that might have better support for other providers.

* Route53. The plug-in is straightforward with the relevant IAM policy to allow a service account to change your records being already written for you. You end up just copying the tokens, and the arn of the zone into the config file and you're off.

* Google CloudDNS. Google's IAM system is a little more complicated if all you want is a DNS hosted zone but once you have a service account with the right permission and the JSON blob in place the plug-in is actually easier to use since it has the ability to programmatically find your zone based on the name instead of copying the arn.

* DNSimple and DigitalOcean. No IAM policy to fiddle with. Just grant an API token from your account, plug it into the config file, and you're done.

* RFC2136. Not super useful unless you're doing on-prem stuff but really nice if you are. The config format for this one is super finnicky and you'll be reading docs to generate the keys but once you have it it's pretty smooth.

Sometimes simple designs are good. Older cruise control designs are quite primitive but very effective. Nothing but a simple feedback loop. Car not fast enough? More gas. Too fast? Less gas. The smarter ones (probably ones with electronic transmissions) would even downshift to keep under the preset speed.

I bet the earliest ones were all mechanical too.

Look at European pedestrian safety regulations. There's a reason that the shape of the front of European cars is all kinda the same - they are designed to minimise pedestrian casualties.

Obviously no one is going to survive if you hit them at 70, but you can make a big difference in the 25-35 region that is the normal speed where there are a lot of people around.

Not really. There is an important difference, in my opinion, between covert surveillance conducted for national intelligence purposes, and surveillance conducted for run of the mill police purposes.

There is no real way around the fact that national intelligence agencies need to conduct mass surveillance of various kinds. National intelligence is a competitive zero sum game, and if we don't do it, others will, and we'll be at a disadvantage.

The same is not true for policing, however. The real danger to citizen rights is when the crossover happens. I'm not worried when the CIA spies on me - i'm worried when the FBI does. I'm worried when the tools of international intelligence get turned to more mundane matters. And I think that is the transition that we have to fight tooth and nail. Fighting the "don't spy on me NSA" battle was lost decades ago, and you were never going to win anyway in any material way. Because even if you could stop the NSA from doing it, every other government in the world would be doing it.

What we need to do is fight to keep that surveillance contained within the international intelligence mission, and not let it creep into domestic policing.

No, it's not physically possible to do any significant active cancellation of the noise caused by a rotor / propeller spinning through the air. The noise sources are too spread out (especially with multi-rotor designs) and cover too much of the audible range.

Blade shape can be tuned to an extent for minimizing noise but that also reduces efficiency (not much to spare). Larger, slower turning blades are also quieter but there are practical physical limits on size and weight.
these are popping up in the DFW suburbs where they can be built from scratch. The standard setup is retail at street level with apartments on top and parking underground or at least concentrated in one large garage. They're not completely car free in the center of the development but it doesn't make sense to drive on the interior, there's no point. I think the streets on the inside are there mostly for fire/emergency access. It's ok I guess, the developments are like walking around an amusement park but it's retail instead of games and rides.

Another setup I see in the exurbs are planned communities. You basically take everything a neighborhood needs and build a wall around it. My sister lives in one on a lake, it's pretty neat, everyone drives golf-carts around instead of cars which is funny/interesting. Also, they have their own holiday festivals and events so the community is pretty close knit. My sister's kids know all the other neighborhood kids and all the parents know each other. The parents keep an eye out and so the kids are given a lot of freedom to roam and do kid stuff they wouldn't normally be able to do in the standard suburban neighborhood with heavy and fast traffic everywhere.

You are working very hard to support my original statement, you didn't read the indictments very closely (or at all).

If you knew anything about cybercrime attribution, you'd know that indictment was detailed far beyond anything we've ever seen from the DOJ. They took the extraordinary step of giving away hints on collection sources/methods just to make the evidence overwhelming and undeniable.

How about a more realistic scenario instead.

As an American, I choose European / EU 5G equipment in all scenarios over Chinese 5G equipment. I don't care what the cost is.

Europe, broadly (other than Russia primarily), is aligned with the US in all the ways that matter and will continue to be. China is not in almost any regard. The sole things the US and China have in common is trade and that the next century will be defined by persistent US-China superpower tension all around the world and in most all respects.

It's an interesting thought. I wonder if the nature of schizophrenia isn't particularly conducive (almost binarily so) to being "driven" by visual signals.

In my interactions with schizophrenic people (especially when untreated), I've witnessed intense and unusual attention (some would say obsession) devoted to "patterns" — I've no other word to describe it generally; to paraphrase it: "order or regularity in visual, typically geometric or symbolic sequences of objects", a particular fascination for certain shapes or symbols.

Somehow, at some point in the processing, said patterns acquire additional meaning, what I'd call uncanny connections. (Schizophrenic people deeply believe that they see how to "connect the dots" — hence a particular tendency for tinfoil hatism and other paranoid world views.)

It also seems to work with music and other sensory inputs, though, but as you said, it could be that the visual is beyond some threshold, or of a particular nature so as to be able to trigger the schizophrenic patterns.

There's also this history of violence with the onset of schizophrenia, it seems to be an acquired condition notably highly correlated with childhood suffering (of abnormal magnitude and length), but with possibly typical genetic or epigenetic predispositions. This tells us again to search for a trigger, and it's interesting that people born blind never seem to experience such a triggering, the onset of schizophrenia, ever.

But people born blind are also different in many other ways, biologically — notably circadian rythms, etc. I should know because although I'm perfectly able to see I experience a few but too many of the same kind of second- and third-order conditions that blind people have, and that led me to suspect it was related to a deficiency of mine in regions of the brain related to the processing of light in relation to time (cycles of melatonin, hunger, etc; iirc it's generally involving the thalamus).

I don't really know what conclusion to make of all this, but I feel these are clues, help narrow or focus the solution space.

U.S. judge drops some charges against Theranos's Holmes, leaves wire fraud
Reading this article I got a big flash when I read "slammed into a concrete barrier", because it nearly happened to me a few weeks ago and it shook me quite a bit to think of the implications. It wasn't a self driving car though, it was just a bit of aquaplaning, but I was still letting myself distracted enough too close to the concrete barrier and not be aware enough of my environment by missing the water accumulation on the side because of the melting ice/snow.

That didn't made me think that cars are too complex and should no longer by driven, that made me think that I should be more careful on my driving. Yet here we are arguing whether that's a signal that we shouldn't allow autopilot feature.

Autopilot or not, YOU are still the driver. If there's a mistake, YOU should be responsible for it. As long as there's a steering wheel, and I believe there will be one for a pretty long time, you are still the one responsible to make sure theses things doesn't happen. If you can't manage it, don't use autopilot, just like if I can't manage to drive, I won't use a car. Getting a driving license may seems like a formality, but it's not, it's a test to see whether you are apt to drive.
AFAIK the cameras still output standard RTSP video, so you could still use those streams in other software.
