Does anyone know the name of the street where the crash occurred? Said to be in Hancock Park, but I can't find that palm lined center-row street in google maps. Want to check something out.

My opinion on the crash - from the pictures online of the crash almost immediately after impact, the whole car is very much on fire, yet the R-side door paint is unburned. This just doesn't fit with modern fuel safety construction.

In the current political climate, and given the evidence he was onto some big story, the 'dead man in a wifi-controlled car' idea seems quite realistic.

Somewhat ironic (or perhaps disturbing is more appropriate) the recent posting on HN [1] of the historic CIA review of assassinations, in which staged car accidents were fairly prominent.

Say there's a vulnerability or something in zlib's decompression, as GP suggested. That's gonna affect pretty much all software using zlib (i.e. a LOT). On a system where the package maintainers took care of having all packages use the system zlib, the whole problem is fixed by ONE ENTITY (the zlib maintainer or team) waking up and patching one package. Every user updates the zlib library package through their package manager (which informs them that they need to), and the vulnerability goes away for thousands of programs.

If, on the other hand, those thousands of programs all bundled zlib, the user won't be safe until hundreds of maintainers wake up and do (repeatedly the same) patching. Or even worse, if there isn't even a package management system, as some apparently want, the user has to also go fetch the fixed programs from thousands of upstreams. Oh, and the user also has to know about the vulnerability. Not gonna happen!

As we can see, the classical model reduces work duplication, reduces patching times and manpower need, and certainly takes a big responsibility off the user's shoulders.

Amazing story - I applaud the intestinal fortitude. I have long though about doing this myself. I have travelled quite a bit more then any other 24 year old that I know, and while I love travelling, I also love too many things about home to become a permanent traveller. I love the adventure of travelling and meeting new people, there is also tons of value in long term relationships with family and friends, and those are things I could never give up. Satisfying the travel bug while still maintaining strong long term personal relationships is hard!
I think this is a key point that many people overlook the importance of when pressuring, say, Debian or Ubuntu maintainers for new package versions inside of a single release.

This shouldn't surprise anyone - thanks to our colonial heritage Britain has always contributed disproportionately to SIGINT gathering as we have lots of locations dotted around the world that are well placed for data gathering.

Given the Royal Navy like to think they have the most skilled submarine service in the world, and we have a long history of maritime charting, it shouldn't be a huge surprise that if any country is tapping undersea cables that it is Britain.

There are also plenty of stories from years ago about undersea cables being tapped. So that is hardly a revelation.

I imagine that the APU generator must be reinforced or redesigned to be able to withstand the charge of the motors.
Revereser are quite efective and I don't think you can get rid of them, because when you have slippery runways the braking through the wheels is going to be compromised.

It's also another sys to fail on toP of the normal braking system (that already has quite a bit of it's own problem), so it's better to have paralel systems for the same function.

If you are going the active braking route you'll need a place to send that electricity and the actual batteries are not big enough for that.

You are right that the motor are not very powerful, 20kts max is a bit on the slow side as top speed. Given that in a big airport when you taxi at less than 15 kts you are slowing the rest of traffic (and they get nervous indeed when they are following a turttle!).
Also to really be autonomous with this sys I imagine they'll install cameras to see the rear and the engines's nacelle (to be able to see that the engine is starting without issues, witha normal pushback you have ground crew observing). That's another level of systems that need new procedures and testing, not very complex initially but things can become really weird very fast in aviation and all unusual user cases must be taken into account.

I thought that cars exploding on impact were pretty much the stuff of Hollywood. Mercedes in particular is well-known for their cars' safety.

This doesn't smell right.

At 5:00 you can see the entire transmission torn off maybe 200-300 feet away from the crash site.

Witnesses report seeing the car driving at a high rate of speed (100+ mph). Damage on the front of the vehicle is extensive and there is debris everywhere - now the question is - would the car explode on impact given the speed or would the fuel tank/pump be cut-off from the engine/electrical systems. Yes and no.
I don't think that is a good idea. A simple half hour system fail could let tens of planes in emergency fuel. Also in turbulent weather is not very wise to have something trying to dock into your plane.
Certificates (I'm assuming assymetric encryption) are better than passwords in that they aren't passed on to the receiving site. This means that sites can build databases of public keys rather than passwords, and that an attacker compromising such a site, rather than getting a password file that he can reuse all over the place, only gets a fairly useless public key which would let him identify the user. And of course there aren't any dictionary attacks for keys either.

Which isn't to say that multi-factor auth isn't a good idea, it's just that certificates are still better than passwords.

How could it be staged, exactly? The guy was flying down Melrose. The engine of his Merc flew like 100 feet from site of impact. I just don't see how it could be staged.

Correction for anyone likely to be disappointed as I was - raw footage of the fire after the crash. The guy with the video camera gets there and interviews an eye witness after the car is already burning.

What is amazing to me is just how much the entire car burns. I really don't know anything about car fires but it looks crazy how much the entire vehicle is engulfed in flames from what appears to be a one-car head-on accident in a relatively new mercedes.

I had a, I guess unfounded, belief that a modern luxury-brand car would be fairly fire retardant. Not much you can do about gasoline and the tires, but seems like all the interior upholstery and cushions, etc could be reasonably non-flammable.

Please don't.

The computer doesn't control the steering and breaks are mechanical. There's no remote control.

Unless you sabotage the car, what you're saying is impossible. But if you sabotage the car, you don't need all the electronics. Just wear off the breaks or whatever else.

It doesnt follow the correct rules? or have i misunderstood them? when you send the player to a square already complete (with spaces left) they should have to go in that square, not get a free go.
Want to consolidate all of my comments into one, so here goes:

1. Raw footage of the crash, that Mercedes (appears to be a 2012 C-Class Coupe) is fully engulfed in flames. The car blew up on impact. How is another question.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LSY3wVuASg

2. Dash cam footage of driver running red light (Highland Avenue & Santa Monica Blvd) at a high rate of speed. Video dissolves moments later (something was cut from it)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNhqKRugk8Q

3. 5:00 into first video (crash) - you can see the entire transmission thrown over 200 feet into the sidewalk.

4. Car is really on fire here, not sure a C-250 fuel tank (17.4 gallons) could create that big of a fireball? And that's a full tank.

5. I will assume Mercedes would engineer the car with the fuel pump cutting off from the engine at the moment of impact. All electrical systems, fuel, combustion, etc. would be disconnected for this reason.

6. He was traveling at a high rate of speed (80+ mph). Highland Avenue is a nice two-land (in each direction) street, no potholes, bumps, smooth like a baby's ass (that particular section of the street). The palm trees are also fairly thin compared to some bigger ones we have here.

7. Who are these LANewsLOUDLABS people? Why are they filming a) the red light at that gas station, b) the accident site shortly after (but going through side streets as opposed to simply going straight and making a right turn?) and c) have an LAPD police scanner (LAPD uses trunked communication, you need a $500+ scanner, of course, accessible to anyone (and legal) with $500.00. But a, b, and c just seem odd...

8. You can tell briefly that the car used by "news" above has a silver exterior. I'm not sure of the make/model, does NOT really sound like a V8 to me, maybe a turbo 6... Driver saying "oh shit" seems genuine, if that makes a difference.

Prelim thoughts:

1) He was going fast, really fast.

2) He ran a red light (there's always a reason for this: alcohol, bad judgment, being chased by someone, etc.)

3) Vehicle burst into flames - but when?

4) Engine and transmission over 200 feet away from crash site (tree)

5) That roof is gone, there's a big hole with flames shooting out - but this car has a panorama sunroof. That glass shattering + high impact collision = hole.

6) Any arson specialists, chemists - feel free to chime in on the pattern, color, position, spread of the burns at 3:00 of the video.

7) The cockpit is intact - so is the drivers seat - the engine is gone, the car is badly damaged in the front, but if there was no fire, I'd say bad injuries but alive. Fire killed the guy.
>This is so laden with sexism it cannot be taken seriously.

How? Serious question.
Certainly it is less broad than the NSA dragnet.

However, WikiLeaks is a journalism organisation, and investigating such an organisation to suppress its free speech is objectionable. To cite article 19, clause 2 of the UN Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, "everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of his choice".

If the government is trying to shut down WikiLeaks for the purpose of avoiding embarrassment, and this is part of an effort to harass those involved in the organisation, then that is objectionable.
It's always been like it. It is just publicised now thanks to free communication over the Internet.

If there was a conspiracy here (and I am not saying one way or the other), then why would these people be involved? Why would the conspiracy organizers throw in extraneous details that would only serve to arouse suspicion?

It's like 9/11 conspiracies... if you were a shady CIA dude who wanted to start a war by flying some planes into buildings, why wouldn't you actually just fly planes into buildings? All the things that 9/11 conspiracy theorists point to are not things that would make sense from the perspective from a conspiracy organizer. Thermite, empty drone planes, missles? Why not just actually use a plane?

Similarly, why not just let the local news cover the planned crash as they normally would, or not give a shit if they don't? If I were planning some sort of conspiracy, that's how I'd do it...

Site Outage: Passwords and Stream Keys Reset
Rather, the recent issue is a disagreement over what constitutes a violation of privacy, e.g. whether electronic collection of data (without a human listener) constitutes violation.

If you think accessing private communications should not be allowed except in limited circumstances, you should be very worried by the storing of all this information. The implications are that anyone's privacy can be violated simply because of a policy change by those agencies who store and swap this information across national borders at some unspecified point in the future. In addition to future use by your national agency - your data might be collected in one country, and used in 10 others without control. The only way to stop future abuse is not to collect the data.

The intelligence agencies have arrogated to themselves the right to listen to any communication by using lawyerly arguments like yours over the difference between collection and listening, and denying that they are using all this information they are collecting without proper legal authority (of course for the NSA, that legal authority turns out to be a six-monthly rubber stamp on their procedures, not oversight of their actual work, but oversight of what they say they do).

So I think your distinction between storing and accessing is unimportant and not worth arguing about - storage enables later access, so once it has all been stored, you have no control over the way it will be used (and it will be used).
I think I'll go with Randall Munroe on this one.

Splitting a package into docs, libs and executables makes a lot of sense. Splitting those further, so you've got umpteen "independent" packages which 95% of users are just going to have to manually recombine to get the functionality the upstream package provides out of the box, can get pathological. Debian has historically been particularly bad at this, and Ubuntu inherited that tendency.
