The one thing that's been driving me nuts since switching to Debian testing (from Fedora) is X using system beeps to alert, even though Pulse is running. I'll have to see if something dragged in 'beep' as a dependency when I get home.
Well, most of the files have the commit message "Original WinFile sources plus changes to build with VS" so it's not exactly source-compatible. The API might be but that's also how we get DDE & OLE vulnerabilities in modern code, etc. There are trade-offs.
Adults understand that life is about risk management. Even if all 700 deaths are attributable to the drug (highly unlikely) many people will take that risk to avoid living with Parkinson's/psychosis.
One can be too cautious or not cautious enough. The FDA is far too cautious, to the extent that current estimates are that the FDA regulations have resulted in as many avoidable deaths as two Nazi Holocausts: http://www.ruwart.com/FDA/prot...
Not every disease can be neatly solved and not every precaution is warranted. For America, deadly government-imposed regulations are a worse evil than patient choice (hopefully made with their physician) both by the philosophy and by the statistics. It shouldn't be surprising in the light of the Socialist Calculation Problem (from an information theory perspective) that freedom works better than being "managed" like livestock.
Yet the Aussies raided him within a few days on "unrelated matters". Sure they did.
Whether he had the keys or not it was obviously a stupid move in today's world. It's more important to see if he's contributing today or not. His talk on miner incentives and double-spend security seemed spot-on. I haven't seen the LN talk but if it's complete nonsense (I would not believe its primary advocate's protests) then he could be completely misunderstanding LN and still not be wrong about Bitcoin economics.
The search for trivially simple answers often leads to foolish conclusions.
TFS and TFT are wrong - all these people were offering is good brain freezing in hopes of future reconstruction. That part might be useful for certain types of surgery, space travel, etc.
I don't think there should be any government funding of research (save for the "Navy" under the Constitution) but its not hard to see real applications of said technology.
Until Apple offers E2E on iCloud, and gives up its ability to decrypt all of its' users' data, Tim's claims to care about privacy are incredibly disingenuous.
And don't even get me started on their ability to push specialized single-device-targeted OS builds to users' phones without the possibility of detection.
but this is an awful lot of effort and electricity being put into what is essentially a vehicle for money laundering. I don't even see this helping blockchaining, since isn't mining separate from blockchain tech?
Yeah, I know that's not popular to say,
Dude, you seriously don't understand anything about blockchain technology. That's why your opinions are unpopular.
Proof-of-work mining is what solves the Byzantine Consensus Problem and all the work on Bitcoin Cash 0-conf solves your other problems for half a cent per transaction.
which is what anyone skilled in the art would come up with when asked to design a mining SOC
Yeah, here's the researcher. He looks like a legit chip guy. Probably some lawyers went looking for Bitcoin patents when the fiat value started to rise so this happened.
That said, nobody is going to be making SoC miners as ASIC miners are always going to be more profitable. Probably Intel could improve the power efficiency of Bitmain's ASIC chips, but patent-locked SoC chips that can do SHA256 aren't really going to cause people to worry. They may be useful for testing work on new blockchains with low difficulty, but that's dubious and extremely niche.
Why is everybody conjecturing? Anybody with an Android phone (better with PrivacyGuard) can install the app and watch for requests to use the microphone. Get the PrivacyGuard data to logcat and run grep on it.
It's just frustrating, since we could tell OPEC to sod off if we'd just spend the money on our infrastructure.
a) the USG is a member of OPEC b) the oil-based economy enriches some of the biggest political donors c) the oil wars benefit the power of the USG, the riches of the MIC (also huge political donors), and provide cover for petrodollar hegemony. d) the oil wars benefit the projection of US power and excite those who want a world dominated by the US War Machine e) the financiers make mint on all those wars and war spending and are some of the biggest political donors f) most Americans are content to let it all happen as long as they have reality TV and the grocery store shelves have product.
After fixing those we should just spend our money on our infrastructure. Without fixing those they'll never allow it. There's a reason the Clinton Administration shut down the IFR program - we'd be facing vast amounts of cheap and clean energy right about now if the program had gone forward to commercialization, just by cleaning up the existing nuclear waste that already needs dealing with. But Al Gore makes money by pushing carbon taxes, not by enjoying a post-modern high-tech society.
We need a societal evolution before we can get the technological one. If Americans can ever throw off their shackles of domination, we'd stand a very good chance of progress.
If you can shift energy across the country for free it gets better than if you're "stuck" on an island and totally responsible for your own local conditions.
The superconducting line they put in across New Jersey cools itself the whole way and the cooling costs less than the resistive losses would have otherwise. But those economics are only valid for the highest density areas, as least provably. Running that same line across Nebraska may not be cost effective at all.
I ran the numbers a few years ago with very optimistic assumptions, and the land area required for the solar component is about 1/4 the size of New Mexico.
Yes, it's "possible". It's just that no society has ever built anything that big before in the entire history of the planet. That doesn't make it "impossible" but it makes assuming that such a thing could be accomplished a huge leap of faith with nothing to back it up except for hope and wishful thinking. Possibly the Great Wall of China measures up in terms of man-hours and complexity but that took hundreds of years and totally-didn't-use-slave-labor, neither of which are on the table now.
Doing it in a distributed fashion only increases costs (though doing a portion of it in a distributed fashion might be the best odds for success - which is what is already happening now).
You just completely ignored the GP's point that "we're" stuck on old nuclear and wouldn't use that technology today but describing all the problems with old nuclear.
I'm pretty sure this means the efforts to make PFS optional failed:
IETF members voted the protocol unanimously, even after members of the financial sector asked for the introduction of a backdoor in the protocol's structure, so financial institutions could decrypt TLS 1.3 traffic inside internal networks.
The proposal was laughed off by experts, who pointed out that the backdoor would effectively make TLS 1.3 useless in the first place.

So, just HOW many THIRD PARTY display products SHOULD Apple test with?!?
Every single one for which they collected a license fee. That's the deal. You don't get to say "lazy" or "understaffed" with $800B in the bank.
All dating sites really should flat out reject anyone who is HIV positive.
Can you actually catch HIV if you already have HIV? This sounds tricky.

many sites per ip...
That's only usually true for small shared-hosting sites or multiple services from a single entity.
what happened to this place?
The Dunning-Kruger is still strong though!

Yeah, that's why Apple holds decryption keys for everything on iCloud and gives the user no way to control it with E2E.
The Secure Enclave stuff seems pretty good but they also run a giant honeypot and encourage its use.
At no time did you have to provide your personal data.. You certainly can. But it's not required.
No worries - six cousins have already submitted theirs.
And you bought the access ID with your MasterCard.
Do you **REALLY** think these companies are going to put up a legal fight for you when your DNA is requested by the government?
Why not send your sample to an overseas lab? Surely somebody here has one to recommend.
Yes, being waterboarded at Gitmo and then executed for "treason" is how people embrace life. Bold words, AC.

Please, that was a softball to Microsoft to get out of breaking up Office and Windows, which was the DOJ's original goal.
