My two local NPR stations, KPCC and KCRW, produce original content that may not be aired on NPR One.
And I still do listen during my commute, every day, even when I listen to podcasts also. I'm not always in the car when some of my favorite shows come on (To The Point; Left, Right, and Center; PHC, and Wait, Wait...), so I will occasionally listen at work or while playing something like Minecraft.
I certainly am not going to try and stream a podcast over my phone while driving if I can listen to NPR on FM. So I'm actually listening more.
Especially in a case like Hospitals, of which this is the second I've heard of this month. The first was here in LA County somewhere.
Hospitals are required by HIPAA to keep patients' medical records private. That at least implies an obligation to take network security seriously, and it may even explicitly require it.
There's no laser on the aircraft. Just mirrors. Tiny, tiny ones.
My job is system design of high speed bidirectional RF links for video over ethernet, and to achieve any decent range with reliable data rates, nothing is COTS, and the equipment on the plane is heavy and consumes a lot of power.
With this arrangement, the weight and power budget for the aircraft would be tiny. Tiny enough to put on a professional video quality quadcopter drone like they use for shooting programs like Gold Rush.
They can simulate longer distances by diverging and/or attenuating the beam.
Now that they've proven the concept in the lab, they'll apply for funding to try the system in real world conditions, probably using a small drone and tracking/pointing laser.
Many aerospace and other companies with East and West coast offices start their West coast shifts at 7:00 or 7:30 am so that the workers are working at approximately the same time.
I worked for Hamilton Sundstrand for 15 years and in CA we worked 9/80 schedules, 7:00 am to 4:30 pm.
True that. I have twice rolled three twenties in a row on a twenty-sider. In 35 years of game play. 20^3=8000, so I don't have a hard time believing a 1 in 64 chance.
(The first time, I was a guest player. The regular players demanded to inspect my dice, and when they found out they were normal dice, they were stunned.)
(The second time was with my regular group. They made me wash my smelly feet, and when I returned to the table, I rolled three twenties in a row. The stuff of legend... )
If something is going to have a fixed lifetime that requires I make another purchase, then it better be cheaper than a durable model, you'd better pass the cost savings on to me.
Otherwise I'll buy something I can keep longer by caring for it well.
That's because people over 40 remember when the record industry model was that you pay once buy a recording and can listen to it until you wear it out.
Now they're trying to change the model into pay per listen. To us onion-belters, it's just wrong. But my 20-something nieces don't think twice about it.
I took him to mean total extinction, with no specific prediction of how or when.
Forgot the attribution, but someone summarized it as "every day, we get closer to the day when one person can wipe out Humanity."
It's related to the Fermi Paradox... where are all the other civilizations out there? One answer is that they all went extinct before they could grow big enough to detect. And many of them may have done it to themselves.
I take it you have to run a script in the email while reading it with the Yahoo web client open, so using a local client is safe. (I don't open mail from people I don't know anyway... and even then, scripts and images are disabled in my client.)
I was able to get myfirstname.mylastname@yahoo.com, so not only do I still use it, but I pay $20 annually for IMAP/SMTP access. I use Thunderbird or iOS Mail to read my mail and only rarely and occasionally use the web client to read mail.
However, their stupid security settings require that I sign into the web client every two weeks to re-enable IMAP.
Exactly my reaction to TFA. He expresses the desire to spend tens or even hundreds of Gigabucks to retire on a hellishly inhospitable planet, with little likelihood of return, and their reaction is to call him privileged and accuse him of going Galt?
There are so many better places on Earth to abandon the proles and go "live the good life," without having to spend all of your fortunes on getting there.
I suspect the database wasn't all paying customers, but also ex-customers and anyone who created a username::password combo, and maybe even contact lists purchased from other equally shady sites.
If String Theory makes no testable predictions, then why was I just reading this, over at AAAS? FTA:
Working with a few lasers and mirrors, physicists at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Batavia, Illinois, have been trying to test a wild idea from string theory: that our universe may be like an enormous hologram.
The full article from Science is paywalled. Is this just an instance of clueless science writing?

Results showed an additional hour of computer use each day was linked to a 0.025% larger hippocampal volume
Cuz if it does, then I have over a 1% bigger hippocampal volume.
It's more like a lensing effect. Same principle as a fiber optic coupling sphere - it's all EM, just the wavelength is different.

Hold the key a few inches behind your head and look at the car you want to lock/unlock.
That trick has worked for me for years.
Yes, I heard the same interview. It was pretty damning for the FBI.
My money's on the NSA.
But whoever it is, I believe they knew they had this option all along.
They had the best experts in the world telling them that it could be broken, but they pursued the matter in the courts instead.
I think someone hasn't RTFA.

These kinds of optical tests are usually done on an optical bench, which seldom exceed 12 feet in length.
Here's an example:

So much this.
And now the FBI and NSA are acting like WTBs because they they want their cheats back.
Actually, it was Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age, which was actually a good read.

Average? Pfft... most peoples' dating standards are too high.
I have two: 1) I have to be able to lift her, and 2) I have to be able to eat when I look at her.
(Note I said dating and not marriage.)
Agreed. Also, it's be unlikely to provide a payoff worth the risk, notwithstanding last night's results.

Sounds too much like a Nexus 6 model...

They have a Teddy Bear, too:

Interesting. Thank you for that info.
Is that for a mobile device only or do you use a PC-based client?

Jesus H Christ on a PET 8032, this was no fucking enemy, it was some 4chan troll who didn't want to take his finals today.

Your credit reports contain that information: past addresses, known family members, etc.
(So never use that kind of info as an answer for a secret security question.)
