Networking was once an entropy source but was removed because of easy manipulation.
It doesn't matter if an entropy source is subject to manipulation, so long as you are gathering from the source and XOR'ing, then entropy is never lost, even by adding inputs from a source subject to manipulation.
They should also add Entropy from invoking Intel RNG periodically.
Why am I suddenly imaging a joystick-controlled turret mounted on the roof, connected to the water line.... with a booster pump for long-range spraying?
I don't give a fuck if you have to hack the shit out of the Registry to do it, either.
That's a constant battle too. Automatic updates will be mandatory for Windows 10 users, except in Enterprise environments with Windows Enterprise edition and WSUS, etc. You used to be able to disable Google Chrome browser auto-updating with a registry tweak, then Google came back and started changing Chrome so Group Policy settings in the registry will not be honored unless your computer is actually joined to a domain, and even then the policy must be configured through a GPO that the group policy clients knows about, otherwise it will be ignored..
Same with other settings such as app-autoinstalls.
Also, If you want to re-enable Java, it seems as if they intentionally made it difficult to automate such things.
If they want to succeed in doing something so unconventional, then they best be prepared to
quickly "tweak" their plan/arrangement in different ways to deal with issues.
For example: putting everyone at exactly $70k is not going to work in the long run.
Not unless you also have a way of rewarding and motivating employees to be productive AND
punishing employees who aren't productive.
I don't see it working, unless they adjust so significant rewards can be available, and those who make the
"minimum" can Lose money or be required to pay back, If they fail to achieve some set minimal objective
hint: we're melting down in the US, the middle class is being attacked and destroyed, the upper classes accumulate more and more of the world's wealth and most of us will NEVER be able to retire.
This is not because of capitalism. This is partly because of the federal reserve And
partly due to our government going on a spending binge and over-interfering with industry, and in particular: free enterprise.
Big business leverages lobbyists and government regulations to help shut out free enterprise and competition by making everyone have to comply with expensive regulations and hire expensive lawyers, And that's not capitalism.
"Deliver this package into the jail, and we don't hurt your wife / children / etc"
Or they could just call up this delivery to settle an existing debt, OR make a deal with someone to deliver the package in exchange for some benefit or favor.
If Amazon breaks my sharing setup, then
I will cancel my Prime mebership and take my approximately $7,000 a year worth of business with them to another retailer and drop Kindle in favor of a competing eBook service. I hear there is a competing thing called ShopRunner.... sounds interesting.
If it was legal to scam them they would be flooded with offers from so many girls it would either bankrupt them or they would stop recruiting because of all the scams.
I would suggest the prosecutors exercise their prosecutorial discretion to not prosecute against people for non-violent crimes committed against overseas violent enemies/lawless violent groups.
At some point the noise of all the scammers/fakers could drown out those whom terrorist orgs could "legitimately" recruit, therefore interfering with those groups' ability to recruit.
One of Intel's major chip fabs is in China, so the chips can just be produced at that facility.
Also, if the US bans exports, then it's likely that Intel would move existing US based chip fabs to Europe
We shouldn't be spending shit tons of cash to placate irrational fears. What s next?
Who are you to define certain concerns as 'irrational'? A study or two definitely does not establish that.
What s next? Coloured neighborhoods.
In a de-facto manner, such things already exist, so it's little different than what we have.
Often people of the same ethnicity tend to settle together and also aren't necessarily very welcoming of outsiders, either, but the attraction to neighborhoods where people look like yourself is enough to create neighborhoods where different ethnicities are concentrated.
And you definitely do get neighborhoods that are 99% X where X might be White, Asian, Black, etc, and such areas tend to stay that way more or less, and any small minorities tend to concentrate tightly, presumably for mutual support.
Especially where you will have landlords accepting, rejecting, or favoring prospective tenants based on age, Or they might be picking tenants based on criteria without saying as much.
In Tokyo, many, perhaps most neighborhoods and housing units the landlord has a No Gaijin policy.
So realistically, if you are a foreigner, or a person of X descent, then there are certain lists of neighborhoods where you are likely to wind up, and other places that might not be technically off-limits,
but an "outsider" would not be welcome.
Tunnelbroker or whatever site's "countdown gadget" is only an illustrative approximation anyways.
The only entity that can really say ARIN IPv4 addresses run out is ARIN.
We are also guaranteed they won't run out tomorrow, since ARIN doesn't make allocations on non-business days.
It's also pretty unlikely there will be 200/24 requests answered on Monday.
And even after that, there are certain reserved ranges that won't be run out.
As for having "unmeetable requests", the unmet requests policy first activated at the very beginning of July,
that ARIN had requests for IP addresses that could not be met.
The insurance will be split, for 100% autonomous cars it makes sense for the manufacturer to handle the public liability insurance
Not really..... only, for liability resulting from the manufacturer's negligence. Your autonomous car can still cause an accident and you be responsible for not ensuring that it is properly maintained and inspected, OR you chose to travel under somewhat hazardous conditions such as severe weather under which it is to be understood by you the owner, that are conditions where any driver is less capable and more likely to cause damage, And there is always a certain amount of risk involved which you accept responsibility for by taking that risk.
Also, people tend to keep their vehicles beyond their manufacturer's warranty, after which time, it is no longer promised to be fit for the purpose and free from defects, anyways.
It is ultimately the buyer's responsibility to understand what they are putting on the road and to make sure that it is safe to their satisfaction, Because they have to take responsibility for it, OTHERWISE they would have no incentive not to run Autonomous vehicle Version 1.0 that has known defects, without upgrading, and without participating in a manufacturer software module recall on a timely basis.
That is the devil's bargain they make for being the provider of a product required by law.
Only the liability insurance is required by law. The other types of insurance are optional, AND autonomous cars will still be subject to the other risks, such as the windshield shattering after being hit by debris, or being broken into, or being hit by another motorist.
My wife and sister, in contrast, are now uncomfortable about things like getting a late train home and then walking back from the station in pitch black conditions
This could explain part of their result: In regions of reduced lighting, they found, there was no increase in burglary, auto theft, robbery, violence, or sexual assault
Switching the lights off in places reduced nighttime traffic in those areas, because people are now avoiding those areas when lights are off: such things did not increase so much.
The team found that brighter streets had no noticeable impact on crime, but they did make people feel better.
Should the gov't be saving money by making people feel unsafe?
Texas is the only state that allows deadly force to be used in defense of property. This is a case where Texas is wrong and the rest of the country is right.
Not really.....
An otherwise law abiding person who shoots an intruder/invader that is definitely a criminal thief/vandal who was wrecking their life or making it not possible for them to enjoy their property/life for fear of everything being taken away definitely doesn't belong in jail.
To say otherwise is valuing the criminal's living state above their victims' lives.
A huge percentage of the people who would be willing to confront you and you need to defend property against are people who are also likely to take somebody's life.
It's much better for the criminal's life to be in danger and victims in their own home to have all possible self-help options legal and available, as this provides a stronger deterrent against committing crimes in the first place.
I can use non-lethal force. There are lots of options available.
If you use non-lethal force, then the criminal can respond with lethal force, OR force that
would require you to use lethal force in order to defend your life.
A claim of Self-Defense does not protect you from criminal prosecution in that case ----
if you instigated the threat against yourself by attempting non-lethal force, Then the option of claiming self-defense is no longer available, So this is even worse.... you would be putting yourself in danger with no lawful option to use lethal force if the criminal changes his mind and decides to kill.
If someone throws a ball onto (or over) your property, is that person tresspassing?
If they intentionally threw it over, then it is an infringement.
If they threw it over and they broke something, then they are responsible to pay for damages.
If they threw a ball onto your property then ran onto your property to attempt to go retrieve it, THEN they are trespassing, especially if they went over a fence or other obstructions at your perimeter to walk onto your property.
Say instead: up to the level of commercial aircraft
UNLESS the operator is a licensed airplane or helicopter pilot,
or explicit permission is obtained from property owner in advance.
Also, the manufacturers should be required to adopt a standard that allows a property owner to place beacons at corners of their property and automatically deny entry to all automatic drones.
I wonder how they handle all those cases with respect to activities such as:....
The first two of those activities are forbidden when there are low-flying aircraft operating, are rarely seen, and the 3rd one isn't really a concern at all...

Windows software does not run on it
Legacy non-cloud applications do not run on it.
New web-based applications run on Linux just fine.
Every legacy application is slowly getting replaced with an "App" anyways, as Tablets more and more replace PCs for end users.
