Engineer's guide to tea
Well, without physical access to the vehicle it seems unlikely that malware could allow unlimited control of a vehicle. Ensuring firmware is genuine and that certain rules are stored on a read-only part of the memory would be helpful, such as don't hit people, turn off vehicle if issued a certain command.

It is good to think about these situations to enable safeguards to be preemptively put in place.

Autonomous vehicles aren't necessarily able to be remotely controlled, the computers and guidance systems are built into the vehicle, waypoints that would be located on roads would be used, which would be unable to cause damage other than the goods not being delivered and the truck being in the wrong place.

Even after 9/11 planes are still somewhat of a threat if the attacker is determined enough. Spend years becoming a pilot or flight crew and you'd have access to the cockpit, after that there's not much limit to how much damage you could cause. There is some protection at certain spots though, the White House is fairly safe: http://cryptome.org/eyeball/wh-missile/pict0.jpg

Oh, what is fad is it now, the "paleo" diet? (you linked to a "primal" diet website in another response) If anything the general population is still gotten fatter and fatter in the last 10 years. This makes me think that there is no "breakthrough" in nutritional knowledge and if there was it is being poorly communicated. To be fair, there are some voices of sanity lately. In particular I am thinking of Michael Pollan's advice: "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."

I'm in no danger of ssh ever being brute'd, but having logs fill up with piles of attempts is annoying and some hosts can be very persistent.

In my case, I also use it to prevent other abuse: bans for ssh abuse protect other hosted services, and fail2ban has been modified to act on other forms of abuse too (like spam).
I see, this one makes sense.

You don't have to make hiring decisions based on the result, but you can use it to narrow the five or ten you want to interview.

It may or may not be wise to reject 95% of your applicants out of hand based on a psychological test [1], but it is certainly a "hiring decision". Don't apply a selection criterion, then try to tell yourself that you didn't.

You'll know right away how intelligent they are from an IQ perspective and also how hard they work, in addition to other personality traits that will be useful.

Yes, personality traits such as "willingness to jump through hoops, just to land an interview with the sort of boss who will ignore one's sales pitch and track record in favor of dubiously-relevant psychological tests." You've set up a very effective screen for this trait.

At least you do this up-front. I had a CEO spring a psychological test on me in a final-round senior-engineering interview, wasting more than a day of my time, not to mention his company's time. Absurdism at its finest: You go in prepared to talk about the business and how you might be able to use your existing technical expertise to score short-, medium-, and long-term wins in performance and revenue, and suddenly your high-school guidance counselor shows up.

It has been a joke since the original that dealing with the computer is like trying to barter with a schizophrenic, and sadly newer versions have only gotten a little better. AI's will still go from "I love you and want research agreements and luxury trades" to "I denounce you" and verge on war in the space of a turn.

Notably, the addition of the City-States was a big improvement, as they mostly respond logically, and their trend over time is to stabilize back to zero. They also provide you clearer guides on their emotional state and what actions will +/- it. If the main AI players were closer in the information they provided, and the options you had for interacting with them (ie, you could do things like destroy barbarians near them or gift them back their workers to increase your friendship) then the main AI might actually be reasonable to play with diplomatically.

I created a quick & dirty visualisation of the past 2 weeks' flights: https://gist.github.com/nevi-me/500c04a672b6f6e2012d

Added some details of what my objective was.

I tried to do it as quickly as I could, but ended up just pasting the raw HTML on Github Gist (copy & paste on an .htm page and load on browser). Wanted to create a page where one could enter their FlightAware API and be able to pull the info themselves, but employer's duty calls, and I didn't have enough time to do that.

Shopping experience on amazon seems much better but to counter-argue: 1) incremental sales are gold and 2) I'd say getting a sale actually provides a huge opportunity to cross-sell/engage.

As an effective organ of the state and propaganda machine, I don't think Russia Today is a reliable source. There is also the matter of a rebel leader claiming to have shot down a plane at the exact time and location of MH17, only misidentifying it as a military transport: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/17/malaysia-airlin...

It's plausible, but I'd say there's good reason to prefer the theory that separatists shot the plane down unintentionally.

In particular:

1) The now removed vk.com page of Col. Igor Strelkov, leader of the pro-Russian separatists, bragging earlier today about shooting down an AN-26 and posting video that we now know to be of the MH17 crash site. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?hl=en&q=cache%3...

2) An apparent (and alleged) recording of a phone call between separatists and a Russian intelligence official in which they admit to accidentally shooting down a civilian airliner. http://www.kyivpost.com/content/ukraine/separatists-admit-do... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/ukraine/109... (The video had been posted to youtube, but has now been removed.)

3) If you read the headline of the RT today article you linked to, you'll see that Russian officials have contradicted the Interfax report about the Presidential plane flying over Ukraine. It 'hasn't overflown Ukraine for long time.' (Though, in fairness to you, the story was not originally posted with that additional information. Perhaps it was updated since you wrote your comment.)

None of this is conclusive, and some of it is particularly suspect since it comes from the Ukrainian government, which clearly has an interest here. But the picture as it is developing so far is pretty ugly for the separatists.

Clearly that section is based on the question 'assuming car software could be modified in a way that made them violate the Laws of Robotic Cars, what new dangers would that pose.' Just like the bit that mentions the trailing car assumes they would have a way to know where a car is going in the future, suggesting a way to query a given car for it's direction.

The first isn't an outlandish question, modifying locked down software isn't exactly a new art. It wouldn't happen for a while likely just due to the small reward to the difficulty of execution.

I would say that AvHerald (and Simon Hradecky) are known for being very technically accurate in reporting aviation events. Simon does not go for speculation or hyperbole.
it is your conclusions from his post what are extremely one-sided. You need to have an idea what a missile system capable of reaching 10000m is and the BUK system in particular. After getting that understanding, you'd not be surprised at reaching the same conclusion.
I feel like Lua is used pretty broadly for UI scripting in the games ecosystem (addons, plugins, etc) but I don't see it used really anywhere else aside from maybe IRC chatbots. Being the scripting language for something popular is maybe a necessary but probably not sufficient condition.

Internalization is a big plus for colemak. I used to use a US keyboard as a french speaker which caused me lots of problems. With colemak, I can easily type all language specific characters: ¿øéàößåñ

This could easily been added to dvorak in much the same way. The hard part is getting the different drivers to support it.
It seems pointless indeed. On the other hand, I'm almost glad the overengineering only went that far. Actually I'm expecting much worse after reading Theodore's ideas on the IETF list.. we'll see what kind of a library interface they'll come up with, if they make something besides getentropy().

But if we get all applications to use the same library, we can
abstract away not only differences in operating system but also
security policies vis-a-vis DRBG/NDRBG blocking/nonblocking. So what
*I* would prefer is a library interface where the application declares
what it wants the random numbers for:

* Monte carlo simulations
* Padding
* IV
* Session key
* long-term key

etc. The library can then decide whether or not the overall system
policy should force application to block when generating long-term
keys, ala gpg, or whether it should getting non-blocking entropy
directly from the kernel, or whether using a userspace DRBG which is
initialized from kernel-supplied entropy is the right answer.

Interesting, if you sort by the "# of Workers" column [1], it looks like this is the 2nd-largest layoff in the state in the past 10 years. The largest was 3400 workers being laid off by Washington Mutual following its bankruptcy (2009). Third-largest was another Microsoft layoff round, of 1200 (also in 2009). Although in 2009, Microsoft had two layoff rounds only a few months apart, and those would add up to ~2100 workers if you combine them.

This isn't surprising at all to economists; we've known for ages that, on a micro (individual) level, children are an inferior good[0].

While the naming is amusing in this case, it's a technical term that simply means that that, as your income rises, your propensity to have children decreases)[1].

The cookie-cutter explanation for this is that the opportunity cost for having a child is very high if your income is high; the opportunity cost of having children (particularly additional children beyond the first) is very low if your income isn't so high to begin with (and even lower if you make the assumption that lower income → lower costs for education, etc.).

[0] Here's an article providing another explanation, though the "standard" belief is that children have a negative income-elasticity http://econweb.tamu.edu/jlindo/AreChildrenReallyInferiorGood...

No kidding. I still don't know what to make of the Condoleeze Rice thing though. That is, it was certainly a very poor decision and did serve to confirm that they do not take privacy seriously and are even hostile to it. But, why give the game away in such an obvious fashion? After appointing her to their board they are losing customers and certainly anyone who takes privacy seriously is giving them up. So, they are less valuable to PRISM. So why do it?

Do you want to test your ansible scripts during deployment, or do you just want to run ansible deployment after the tests are run?

The basic workflow that we at Codeship tell people is test each repository by itself and if that works push to a staging environment.

Once the push into the staging environment is done you restart the last build on an integration test repository that will thoroughly integration test the whole staging system.

When you build service oriented architecture some backwards compatibility for the time that systems are updated are in our opinion the best way. If there are breaking changes treat every part of the infrastructure as a separate api with specific guarantees and just build a v2 api so you can update the clients, but the old ones still work for a while until you can remove the old clients.

I switched to Colemak about 3 years ago and I'm a very heavy vim user (basically all I use at work). I remapped the navigation keys to úéñí (for up, down, left, right). So AltGr+ueni, which on qwerty would be AltGr+ikjl and this makes for very comfortable one-handed navigation. As a bonus, I mapped ÚÉÑÍ to 10ú 10é 10ñ 10í.

Other than that, I did not configure any other vim keys.

Overall, I love colemak and couldn't imagine going back to qwerty. I've internalised it and find it natural to type with and I'm still often amazed at how much I can type with the home row and I love how common key combos just roll off the fingers (ie they use keys that are right next to each other or otherwise really really easy to type in combination).

I dunno if I'm really much faster. Probably not, but my accuracy has improved and I find it much more comfortable for long periods of typing.
This is mainly about creating your own wealth. The first basic question is how do you want to spend your time? Since we are creatures of habit, having a scheduled 9-5 job with someone else directing you can be very comforting. It takes a special kind of person to go off and schedule your own day, work hard towards a goal, all while fitting in your normal life in between. With a job, you are forced to go to work at a set time, then when it's done you go home and continue your life for a few hours. Not everyone wants to spend that time creating wealth.
Of course, "The Fed" actually isn't part of the government.

Actually, no; Sword is much more like Pirates!, in that it's essentially a collection of themed minigames, tied together by a strategic overlay. Covert Action has a similar design. The three of them are all variations on a theme, more similar to each other than to any external inspiration.

Sword and Covert Action are both available via GOG these days, should you want to confirm this.
I'd like that. The iPod Touch makes for a nice video camera.
Hard to say why, but that's how it looked at the first read and, no, it didn't make much sense.
Yes I'm well aware. A good friend of mine works on the commercial side. He is a programmer that is basically in charge of all their route-finding algorithms internal to the commercial side of the network. It is completely separate from the consumer side.

On the commercial side they provision a link from point A to point B (which is what his software figures out) and it's dedicated bandwidth. They are never over-subscribed.

I'm almost positive that this is not how they do things on the consumer side. Otherwise the Netflix debacle wouldn't be happening. But basically the consumer side is always over-subscribed and by a reasonably large factor. They're counting on consumer traffic to be bursty which it normally is. Netflix isn't bursty the way they're used to.

I sympathize with the idea of expecting one thing when building a model and seeing it play out differently. It sucks and it can cost a lot of money to make good on promises that you've made. But remember that Verizon is the one that made these promises. Their customers didn't put a gun to their head and say "promise me these crazy high download speeds or else!", Verizon did it willingly to try and steal customers from their competition.

Because they did it to themselves I have little sympathy.
