  1. Re:Credibility on Tesla Autopilot 'Predicts' Accident Before It Happens (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    No, just the people who know physics. The experiment in video you have shown ignores basic physics: 1. Hyperloop doesn't need the tube to be tight around the train, so the air can travel around the train thus reducing pressure differential 2. Pressure grows squared, but the effect of mass is in third, so the air wouldn't even budge a train. Nothing to do with Musk, it simply seems that some people know physics :)

    You know adding adjectives doesn't add credibility to what you say. Bombings don't become "terror" just because you will them to.

  3. You want to dig out everything that happened 70 years ago? You seriously want to go there and blame Jews? Or you want to keep digging. May be 1929? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Or may be you want to know what happened to the Jews of Gaza in 1929? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... That same Gaza that is now 100% Jew free? By your logic, there is no big surprise those Jews evacuated from Gaza to Tel Aviv in 1929 have an issue with Palestinians in Gaza. Right? Cause that logic applies both ways. Except we moved on, and hopefully, one day, after they tire of hatred, so would they.

    But Israel is somehow to blame. Not Lebanon that holds the Palestinians rightless, not Jordan that even in majority palestinian cities discriminates against them. Not the palestinian authority that instead of building a country is keeping them in "refugee camps". But Israel, where every Palestinian who remained in 1948 is a citizen with full rights.

    I am sure when you write a contingency agreement for acquisition of a satellite company you built, you will not make such a stupid beginners mistake :)

    How about democratically electing for all positions. In a hospital, nurses and medical assistants will interview IT staff and decide in a democratic vote which candidate qualifies. HR and sales will interview software engineers, and entry level QA will interview software architects and bizdev people. Cause everybody is qualified to judge other's work.

    My prius must defy physics then, but i still get practically the same MPG from it as i did 100000 miles ago. And i drive aggressively (well, as aggressively as Prius would allow)...

  11. Re:Was done by me in 2004 on How Proxied Torrents Could End ISP Subpoenas · · Score: 1

    Yes, it's possible, which is why i am not necessarily saying it's copied from me. However, I freely discussed the idea with many of my colleagues, including when i worked in MS where Mr. Bennet works (same city and we share many connections on LinkedIn) and so I won't be surprised if the word spread enough in 9 years to affect his thinking even if he did not copy it directly. Beyond that, to get to that detail (chain link length, analysis of average link length etc) you would need to spend a bit more thinking than writing a page long summary in slashdot post, and yet there is nothing more, not a blog post, not a sourceforge project, nothing from the author of this slashdot blurb that shows he has been developing such system. I spent almost a year developing and refining this system, analyzing attack vectors and how to address them, and it sounds extremely unlikely to me that someone would follow exactly the same route, come to exactly same detailed conclusions without either spending much more effort than a slashdot one-pager or being influenced by other work.

    This sounds like anomos: http://anomos.info/

    I was researching this weekend, I can't seem to find out if the project is still alive. It looked well designed in 2010, and I'm not sure if it's using the Tor network (bad), or just the Tor protocol for its own network( good).

    It's different enough from both. How do i know? I wrote a thesis on this in 2004 including a prototype implementation from which this is an executive summary (if not a full on plagiarism)

  13. Was done by me in 2004 on How Proxied Torrents Could End ISP Subpoenas · · Score: 1

    After years of lurking on Slashdot, I finally was compelled to make a log in. Dear Mr Bennett, what you describe has been done before, by me, in my master thesis, and i even implemented such network as part of the master. I am stopping short of accusing you of plagiarism, but the similarities are striking, all the way down to the different length of chains occurring at different statistical probabilities. I unfortunately only have the thesis in Russian (in which it was written), but here is the link for those with Google translate skills: https://docs.google.com/document/edit?id=1wRgj1VChUsbcdkQJcrEweW6ZsYtZJZVLelhejBhEL9Y# I probably still have the prototype implementation laying around somewhere. I posted this comment as anonymous, but i guess being at 0 with a link to a non english page doesn't help get people's notice. The similarities of this idea to my thesis are so striking, that it sounds more like an executive summary.
