Yeah. So it looks like the Smithsonian has purchased some of the same cheap/stationary robot greeters that have stood outside every train-station restaurant in Japan for a few years now.
Yes on systems I don't use that much and No on my primary system.
Similar mix of yes/no, but my yes *is* a primary system.
Firefox Nightly is my daily-driver browser on Android with 57.0a1 as my primary mobile browser for nearly 3 months now (I'm now on 58.0a1). FF Nightly seems to be the only way to get a feature-rich open browser with automatic updates if your device does not have Google Play app installed.
Nightly and 57/58 is definitely an upgrade over the previous mobile Firefox. Works great with uBlock Origin & Video Background Play Fix add-ons, which is about everything needed on mobile.
As for no - I've not bothered to update Firefox on any workstation I use, home or office (or at least haven't noticed or cared what version is running). Chrome or Chromium is primary on all workstation, except for one daily Debian system with a little-used Firefox browser.
... must use the following more dangerous pesticides.
Here are some pesticides used in organic agriculture, with their median lethal doses:
Did you not read your own post? Those substances are demonstrably not dangerous to people.
median lethal dose of 4,500mg/kg? So essentially not toxic.
Down at 370mg/kg is where noticeable effects even start: So if you weigh only 90lb and eat an apple smothered with half an ounce of Pyrethrum you still have a 50% chance of surviving. There is a lot of shit, which if you ate a half ounce smothered onto a 3 to 3.5oz apple would kill you.
math isn't even needed, to see how wrong this part of your post was
Azadirachtin is a wide spectrum very potent insecticide. Almost non toxic to mammals
for consideration dicamba, the inorganic pesticide is 757mg/kg LD50 in rats
At the point I assume any further nuance, like comparatively greater importance of acute toxicity vs lethal dose for the case of pesticide consumption, is just beyond you
... they "Falsified data" on strength and durability of aluminum and copper... what does this mean in real terms?. Did they just check the "A-OK" box and fill in fake data without bothering to run the tests? Did they run the tests and then knowingly alter results? What is the difference between what they reported and actual conditions of materials sold? What is the risk? I would be most interested in any references that address these basic questions.
Agreed. All that the outlets I've read have let slip was: 1) there was a whisleblower, that got ignored, 2) all the numbers we've heard: 4% of aluminum sheets & rods, 200 buyers of iron powder, ongoing for up to 10 years, etc.
But what was the whisleblower's observation? Is reporting on that kind of detail just beyond the capacities of English language outlets?
My only guess is products which failed internal testing were by some process packed with good product/labeled as passing, the whisleblower had access to those internal tests but probably company's unclear on who misbehaved. Without internal failed test records, how else would they know "it was 4% of sales"?
Apparently anyone who does not remember "2008", when Google cars first started routinely collecting 3D laser range and imaging via SICK laser scanners.

Which is why players will go to a VR parlor and pay for this experience. It's the greatest game that nobody can *OWN*, but they can probably afford to play it.

Oh sure, they've never sold "individual" customer data, but Verizon & others continue to sell *aggregate* info: you know, because there's not an entire discipline focused on deanonymizing datasets.
At least now Verizon has paid a fine & agreed to make sure that they, first, *dupe* their customers into agreeing to Supercookie injection & tracking.

3.... In their place will be a WebExtensions API which is only marginally more powerful than what Chrome can do. Many existing addons will never work under the restrictions that system places because WebExtensions offers no way to do low level customization. Several developers of prominent addons have already announced that they will stop development as a result.
Discouraging developers is unfortunate. But Mozilla does not win by freezing old code in place/ensuring 15 years of old tweaks apply to current browser model. What's an old-guard dev to do? They can't move to Chrome.. as you stated it has even less capability.
Fortunately, FF is open source so another browser can resurrect whatever capabilities Mozilla discards. Honestly I think they should shrink dramatically smaller than 9050 employees, light additional fires to further develop & modularize their core technologies.
I do use Chromium mostly on the desktop but mobile-Firefox is my go-to, everyday, browser of choice on Android. It is capable, and i'm honestly more curious to see what benefits come from changing APIs then I care what happens to obscure addons like "OmniSidebar".
Tunnels are actually extremely safe around earthquakes, because they are in/move with the earth,
Imagine the worst-case tunnel scenario, (essentially the only one where any sort of major collapse is possible): A tunnel somehow constructed parallel to & exactly on a faultline, which then shifts by several meters. That sort of shift also levels all but the most high-tech/expensive above-ground civilization (which also probably should not be constructed *exactly* on top of the faultline).
Modern construction is focused on consideration & compensation for the (relatively minor) damage/danger that could (realistically) occur. Even a tunnel built directly on a faultline but perpendicular to it would likely survive with only localized damage to the meters-long area where the catastrophic shift actually occurred. https://www.researchgate.net/p...
Senator, you do know there's a REASON we went to the secret ballot originally, right? Because without it, a political figure who wants to buy votes can easily see if the people he bribed or threatened did what he wanted. (http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-vote-that-failed-159427766/?no-ist)
I've long considered Oregon insane for going to all-mail-in voting, for precisely that reason.
Here in WA ballots are SENT by mail but returning ballot by mail is just one of several options, to include: counties organize to provide large, physical dropboxes you can walk up to & place your ballot in. The fairly long window for voting also greatly increases the cost needed to approimate the fabled 'thugs pressuring at polling places'. Partisan grousers are just mad their traditional methods of supressing/tampering with votes arent readily applied; "I already submitted my ballot" is a ready excuse to attempted coercion here.
It's my preferred way to vote. Saves me (and the impoverished/the state) from having to pay the $0.50 to mail it back individually.
tried it on Google Maps. If you enter "0, 0" it takes you to the North Pole. There are a couple of Comex drilling rigs there
Protips, the North Pole is "90, 0"
If you zoom out, you'd find that "0, 0" is a little bit further away from the Arctic circle. (And your drilling rigs appear to be humorously mis-located north-american paintstores; Certainly on-topic, as garbage location data goes though : )
Yes they do. The abstract of the linked paper states clearly: "we exploit this flaw to define a forgery attack"
Their demo exploit is an app, malware, and could be used by any other user, criminal, three-letter agency capable of such advanced techniques as *getting malware* onto target device. The linked article further expands on this to point with comments from the author, highlighting that anyone with a 0-day or known exploit would be able to degrade KeyStore encryption to crackable levels, without first having to trick a user into installing their app.
To be clear, the issue is a hardware issue in Qualcomm chipsets rather than with Android itself
Incorrect. The threatpost author just threw in the comment regarding Qualcomm at the very end of his writeup, it has entirely nothing to do with the cryptographic weakness the researchers from Orange uncovered.
The uncovered flaw is entirely an Android software issue, wherein an attacker with malware or a 0-day priviledged exploit can silently downgrade the strength of certain symmetric keys apps use to store private/encrypted data to cloud storage services. (Thereby allowing the attacker to swiftly break the encryption of data which previously could be efficiently decrypted only via the unmodified secret key located on the users handset)

Your basic health care came from a plan with a $2500 deductible?
I assume by "basic" you meant "cardiac arrest & shattered femur".. because it kind of seems like your wife and you were only paying for a skimpy catastrophic-care plan, and were either ignoring "basic" health care or paying for it out of pocket with cash.
Recommended addition:
- Encrypt the video transport, even if physical network is wired, armored & hidden as suggested.
Sure, in addition to providing reliability, wiring may provide some incidental reduction in attack surface. But this isn't 1991... CPU is cheap. There is zero reason a modern network should rely on "hardened perimeter"/"gooey, nougat interior" design.
through information Uber accidentally shared with ME, I stopped them from unfairly learning the state of my mobile's battery!
After I signed up for their service, the Uber webpage asked me to install an Android app I've never seen the source code for. (actually, send me to a 'Play store' web page for a 'Play store' program I've never installed or seen the source code for.)
There was no clear way to use their service without this program. (No website, no phone# to call)
I went back to my web browser, searched for and called a local cab company. $13 and 20min later I was at my destination, easy! Take that Uber! : )
I run Ubuntu 15.04 just fine on an 1st gen Lenovo Helix detachable (says ThinkPad on the back).
