Overreaching surveillance has been an open secret since ECHELON was revealed. The idea of mass surveillance tech existing without being abused is great, theoretically, but may not work in practice. Yes, we want intelligence organizations to do their jobs ethnically, but there is currently no reason for them to do so. Therefore, until there is a reason for these organizations to behave, it is entirely rational to do everything possible to lessen their currently excessive power.
My understanding is as follows: If you're on the runway then once you go past V1 during take-off you have no option but to get airborne regardless of what else is happening: there isn't enough runway left to stop the aircraft with the brakes + reverse thrust. (You calculate V1 for every take-off)

The pilots he was training were coming from an aircraft with a V1 around 80 knots fully laden. V1 for a 737-400 is around 120 knots so if he triggers an aft cargo door warning at 100 knots then the pilots should abort the takeoff.

He was doing this deliberately to emphasise to the trainees this particular difference between their old aircraft and the new one.

This interpretation is at least consistent, but I'm not sure whether it's correct or not.
A Shiny Content Farm is Still a Content Farm
I wonder when we'll be able to simulate an organism out of a given sequenced DNA. It may be a little too much to recreate a real living thing, but I think it would be OK to simulate.
Your comparison is bogus.

I've used a very reputable host by the name of WebNX out of Los Angeles for a long time. They blow your referenced prices out of the water.

How does this sound?

Intel Xeon 1230 v3; 32gb ram; 4x 1TB 7,200 rpm enterprise hdd w/ hardware raid 10; 20tb of outbound bandwidth; unmetered inbound bandwidth; $239

Or swap out the 4x drives for 512 ssd and 1tb 7200rpm, for $199 instead.

That v3 1230 pushes 9500 on passmark.

Back to AWS? Not a chance.
For the simple case (wire up an additional USB hub and a USB-flash-drive into the mouse body) that's easily done (under Linux, lsusb would suffice).

But if you allow arbitrarily complex logic to be present which only activates additional functionality on the presence of an arbitrarily complex trigger, you can no longer proove the existence of this additional logic.

As an example: Maybe my microcontroller passively watches the mouse, and only activates the payload (routes the mouse signals through the USB hub and activates the flash-drive) after a complex sequence of mouse-moves and clicks have been performed? The trigger might be to monkey-train the unsuspecting user with a specifically crafted flash-game on a frequently visited website.
This was best and most succinctly stated by wahnfrieden: tuples are appropriate where a named-tuple could also conceivably be used.

Desert Bus is precisely what it's advertised to be. It's the gaming equivalent of anti-humor, or something so audaciously contrary to expectations it derives value from its very audacity. It therefore succeeds in living up to Penn and Teller's goal. Also, again, they tell you exactly what you're in for before you begin, so nobody can claim to be surprised.

A truly bad game involves false advertisement, where the seller (publisher, developer, whoever) falsely claims to have a good game when, in point of fact, they have a festering piece of dung. "Pac Man" for the Atari 2600 is an example: It claimed to be a version of the arcade Pac Man, but it's a very bad copy at best, rushed out in an unfinished state to disappoint many, many people. "Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing" has already been mentioned; it shipped in an alpha state so broken the game is entirely unplayable. "Superman: The New Adventures" ("Superman 64") for the Nintendo 64 is less obviously broken, being at least competently implemented, but the design it's an implementation of is in no way an enjoyable game.

Anyway, those are a few examples of bad games. Any of them would have been a much better candidate to be the topic of this article.

In Commodore circles the Oric machines were often derisively called "doorstops" as that was the only thing we considered them good for as kids. Of course this was without ever having used one, and was reatively mild compared to the Commodore fanboy hatred of Atari. Much less tried to exploit it to its limits like with e.g. the C64 which is in a similar situation in terms of new discoveries despite how well it was mapped out by the late 80's (I remember finally getting my hand on a copy of a hand written diagram of exactly how many bus cycles the graphics chip "stole" from the CPU under what circumstances - essential to many demo effects that even many Commodore designers insisted were impossible until they were demonstrated...)

I'm not sure about 6809's, but the very similar MOS/WDC 6502 derivatives is still manufactured by Western Design Centre, founded by Bill Mensch (the co-designer of the 6502 together with Chuck Peddle, who was on the 6800 design team at Motorola for some time, though he joined after the main 6800 design was done): http://www.wdesignc.com/wdc/

Compare Desert Bus (which does what it sets out to do) with Rise of the Robots which received considerable hype but was "quite disappointing".
I completely agree with your argument.

However, this seems to imply that all American hackers/entrepreneurs/etc.need to move to remote cabins in Montana and stop contributing to society, because anyone who contributes to society in America is directly supporting this system (albeit, 1 degree removed from those working directly for the government).

I currently don't know a way around this problem, and I don't actually want to stop being productive. I've had this on my mind for a while. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Not publishing information would harm legitimate community. What is published, however, isn't the entirety of the value a conference provides. Anyone who attends conferences knows that much of the useful information is gained outside of talks. Malicious organizations personally attend conferences not simply to watch the talks in person, but to gather intelligence on infosec and target attendees and to create employee/CI relationships.
What about the concept of vulnerability? Overwhelming force draws people (rightly so) into believing an injustice has been done.

What police should be doing is being rudimentary members of the community at large. That is being just as vulnerable as the rest of us.

We have all seen the situation where a traffic cop gets killed by someone they stopped for speeding and has a warrant and kills the cop.

Then the state police go crazy and embark on a manhunt which can and has had collateral damage. As if because that policeman died that a mob of local and state police can avenge the death of one of their own at any cost.

This is a sick psychological proposition, if police can unleash a vigilante hell against citizens when someone shoots or injures one of them, then why cant citizens do the same without repercussions? The police state is setting a very bad example for the rest of us.

If police were part of the community in the same sense of being vulnerable to the same bad forces the rest of us are, they would command a lot more respect and be seen as our protectors, but as it stands they have adopted the overwhelming force of stormtroopers.

As a result the respect they attempt to pursue from shooting dogs, breaking down doors, driving humvees, shutting down streets, invading homes with no-knock warrants, targeting people with no facts, will only erode their standing in our society while putting more people in jail unjustly, but also deny citizens from having any rights based on our national constitution.

And Washington will call it a debate.
Experiments as Research Validation – Have We Gone too Far? [pdf]
This seems slightly off somehow -- they were used to an aircraft where V1 was 80, were moving to one where it was 120. Event happened at 100; they were initially RTOing but were corrected by the grapevine to not RTO. That seems backwards from the behavior my mental model (which is what you stated as well) would want.
I hope it's the pig-chimp!
But thanks to the regulations Madoff only hit people who could afford to lose it, not those for whom who losing the money would force them onto the streets.
It's de-facto legal at the very least. AFIK all the schools do that. Actually, it looks like mine just gives $1k off for women and certain minorities. There were several students I talked to who paid 2k less than me, but I'm not sure what the reason was. The tuition price doesn't appear to have been consistent in the beginning.
Those sorts of people can, like Edward Snowden, find their own way into the system.
In the article it comes across like the contractor was constantly saying 'no, it's all ok'.

It seems to say that he took 2 weeks to do the initial audit and then they got him to do some sort of detailed review of every machine which took months. To which he also then said there was nothing really wrong.

To me it sounds like he just did his job while some crazy, incredibly incompetent CIO kept asking for more.
The 68xx range wasn't viable for low cost machines until it was too late and Commodore was already deeply invested (as in, it owned MOS).

Keep in mind that the entire reason for being for the 6502 was that Chuck Peddle had tried (and repeatedly failed) to get Motorola to accept the idea of pushing a low cost design. At the time the 6501/6502 was introduced MOS charged $20 per CPU while Motorola was charging $175 for 6801's. Motorola dropped their price to $69 near instantly, but that was still a substantial percentage of the cost for a typical low end machine.

On a machine with more memory it might have mattered, but for a machine constrained to 64KB, the 6502 instruction set was easy enough to work with - it's not like you could afford to use a large stack most of the time anyway, for example.
One of the only ways to do this, is having everything stored in a fully documented format. For photos, I don't think much exist except the most naive raw format (think bitmap files, just in same colour space as NEF or the like), accompanied with an XML/JSON file with the metadata and a document describing this. Once it is needed, you have to convert it. Sounds about right you could build a business on that idea - first step is to find someone willing to pay for it though.
I hope for the day when a bone or whatever is found that contains something like 25-50% human and 25-50% Denisovan or Neanderthal... The frozen expanses of Siberia seem to be a good place to look for them...
> For who, how often and when exactly? As far as I have understood, we are doing something wrong if we have to deal with debugging protocols which implement an abstraction, rather than just let the abstraction do it's job.

Any time you're debugging "one layer above" and you're in Sherlock Holmes territory (i.e. the problem seems impossible, so one of your basic assumptions must be incorrect) you have to check stuff.

And if you check your protocol by using the protocol-parsing tool which comes with your protocol implementation, you're not doing an independent test that it's actually working OK.

As a more concrete example, I'm using a library doing AWS request/responses over HTTP. There are various places I could add instrumentation to dump information but:

- it takes work to add or enable. I can grab the on-the-wire protocol with strace or tcpdump (this a reason why it's always good to provide a non-SSL option for your protocol)

- whatever is causing the problem could be below the layer I'm logging at

- they are all error prone. Maybe I miss a part of what goes on the wire. The data-on-the-wire is the only thing which matters for the protocol. The other end has no additional state.

When you're debugging, you have to validate stuff. And look for patterns. Human-readable protocols facilitate both of those difficult activities, reducing friction.
So what, write a short story and value it at $5m? Surely there are laws about market valuation, even for IP?
Exactly. No real projects are small. Anything less (IMO) is a favor and should be considered a marketing/sales event.
That's why matchmaking in MOBA is not "non-discriminatory". LoL has elo points, HoN has MMR, Dota 2 has some hidden rating. Overall it converges to win ratio about 50% for most players.
As a European graduate this is what keeps me away from moving to the bay area. Maybe you also could consider moving to a country with less surveillance?

Here in San Diego going to the ER without insurance costs a minimum of $1,000. I once had to do so for my son. Cost for a room was $600, a $40 shin splint cost $250, and I am not sure what else but it was pretty expensive.

DefCon is a joke. Nobody with any skill takes that conference seriously.

This is a complete farce as one of the key speakers last year was Gen Keith Alexander. NSA was fairly open about recruiting directly from DefCon and DefCon leadership had no problem with it. Anyone with even a slight security background could have predicted Prism and other programs just by the AT&T whistleblower from the mid 2000's.

DefCon is just too big, too mainstream for any real technical value. I don't need to fly to Vegas to watch umpteen panel discussions with crazy EFF people.
Look up 'Monday Night Combat'. Devs like to experiment by mixing and matching genres, so in my experience things like this often exist somewhere. It was a pretty average game, but the idea is sound.
It's not prescient because that is how it's been in predominantly black neighbourhoods. Black people have been saying this for the last 2-3 decades through protests, riots, and community organisers. It's only now that everyone has a cameraphone and a Youtube account do you get to see what's been going on.

Even well respected actor, Levar Burton, knows how to act in front of police. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=M-ck....

For black people we go into every encounter with the police thinking this might be my last moment on earth.
I did some GPU mining for about 5 minutes once. Had to stop it immediately because the noise my GPU was making definitely wasn't good for it. The fan still rattles a bit sometimes from the 5 minutes it was being run at 100%

GPUs are not really designed for 100% load for prolonged periods of time
It's actually more useful to have larger carriers than smaller ones. The obvious difference is top speed as drag does not increase linearly with length. But you also gain the ability to do takeoffs and landings in a wider range of weather conditions as well as having redundant nuclear reactors and dentists etc. But, perhapse most importantly the larger the aircraft carrier the larger aircraft it can support and there are many advantages to having larger aircraft.
I really don't think Congress is exercising its budgetary oversight correctly if it is approving nearly trillion dollar purchases of manned fighter aircraft to be delivered a decade or more in the future. We're pretty clearly within a transition from manned to unmanned combat aircraft, and given the lack of compelling threats flying top-end fighter aircraft (or fielding top AA defenses), there's no reason we couldn't keep the F-16/F-15/F-18 in service (and whatever F-22s we already purchased) for another 10-20 years, then replace entirely with drones.

Drones aren't just cheaper, they're better. Smaller, higher G loading, less radar cross-section, no need for SAR when one goes down, potential for "in extremis" one-way missions (intentionally sacrificing a $5mm reusable drone to accomplish a mission is often fine), etc. The only thing they don't do is create as many senior officers with flight experience.

(They also don't cost as much money, so to the extent you believe every dollar spent on defense, needed or not, is a dollar stolen from humanity, ...)

This is actually pretty interesting to me. There is actually a community around amateur Nerf.

One thing that Nerf offers over paintball, and Airsoft is that it's playable in an urban area, without much planning, and coordination with local authorities. I think there are a lot of us in this community that would be very open to making this field (real life gaming / ARGs) more mature, with better equipment.
You're not the NSA; defending mass surveillance by them is not incompatible with not trusting you with one's email account.

Not that I defend mass government surveillance, I'm just tired of that pseudo-argument.
pretty sure this is not a real full delete.

At least I have the option to delete my FB account. On the other hand, Google has lately been aggressively pushing me to convert my YouTube account into a G+ account. Once this is actually forced upon me, is there any way to 'delete' my Google+ account without deleting my YouTube one?
I'm pretty sure you (whoever that is) don't have jurisdiction over the Moon, and as such, have no business passing laws concerning it, or establishing national (sic!) whatever there. See also: Outer Space Treaty and whatnot.
Since a lot of this has been coming up I thought many people might like to know the basics of how the auto-thrust system is used. Some of this information could be slightly inaccurate so if a real pilot wants to correct anything here, that would be great. The auto-pilot setting for autothrust (A/T) has a lot of modes. You don’t specifically set the mode so much as a combination of settings can affect the mode that it’s in. The modes are the following (this is fairly generic and probably not exactly how the 777 system works):

A/T by itself will simply hold a specified airspeed by adjusting the Thrust Levers.

A/T + FL/CH + V/S + Alititude Hold: (Auto-Thrust + Flight Level Change + Vertical Speed + Altitude Hold) climb or descend to the set altitude by the set vertical speed at the specified airspeed. The thrust levers are maniplated by the system. Generally once the altitude is attained, V/S and FL/CH will turn off.

A/T + “V/S”: The same as the above but with no set altitude.

A/T + Thrust Hold: I looked at the 777 main control panel and I couldn’t find the setting for Thrust Hold, however it seems to be referred to in various things on the internet and I just don’t know what to look for. This setting is normally used for takeoff (maybe landing?) where the pilot sets an airspeed and a thrust (via the thrust levers) and the airspeed is regulated by pitching the aircraft up or down.

A/T + Thrust Hold + FL/CH + Altitude Hold: This setting is similar to the one above, but without setting a vertical speed. The indicated airspeed is controlled via pitching the aircraft up or down until the specified altitude is reached. I believe once the altitude is reached FL/CH mode is switched off as well as Thrust Hold.

This is my best guess as to what the 5 modes the NTSB says the 777 has. If any pilots could correct anything I’m missing or that is simply wrong, that would be great.

Switching between modes is really not intuitive because you’re fiddling with settings and it’s hard to know what button press is actually going to tell the system to do something. If you’re interested in how confusing it can actually be, I’d recommend installing the x-plane trial and trying to mess with these settings.

If you want to give it a go, the beginner’s tutorial for x-plane & the 777 has you do a visual landing on 28L @ KSFO

Specifically, I think teaching k-12 is an occupation that requires a great deal of knowledge acquired via route memorization.

Anecdotally, my third grade teacher didn't understand long division, my eighth grade history teacher didn't know what an annotated bibliography was, and my 9th grade geometry teacher was debilitatingly dyslexic. While this didn't kill me, millions of Americans graduating college are crippled by debt - perhaps because they couldn't do the simple math required to make a budget and understand what would be required to pay it back?
I gues the most import point is you can not be a succesfull "medium" writter but you can be a succesfull writter who someteimes publishes on "medium"
Yes the matchmaking can be incredibly frustrating. However it's a hard problem to solve with such a small player-base.
I also don't think it's enough to ruin the game. I currently have 170 hours logged into the game according to Steam and I plan to add many more. Hopefully more people join so that we can get better matchmaking and have even more fun.
How about (S)FTP? That was my first try and actually what made me dismiss NeoCities as a host.

While I think "1 degree removed" is better than the alternative, you do have a valid point.
