Pre-gps navigation did this using "dead reckoning" (which is still built in). Based on speed, distance, and angle, it can match you to locations on the map. It could take a while, with a number of samples, but can be done. There are only a finite number of distance-intersection pair chains before it narrows down to one.
So we are supposed to believe that different paths, which incidentally occur at a rate of around 4GHz or so, can be 'heard' in an audio stream that has a resolution of maybe 44KHz or so? In an environment that is not free of noise either - fans, other components doing other things, etc.
I find the whole thing very hard to believe.
Indeed, but proof of concept is amazing.
I recall 25 years ago some guy with "$2000 of Radio Shack hardware" was able to discern key strokes and video signals from the electron gun of the monitor tube. Nobody thought this possible. Now the government has their Faraday cage room for sensitive computers.
Everything since then has been refinement on this. They could do this already based on EMF, but on audio whine is doubly impressive.
Actually Microsoft does a tone of this already. A 1 in 100,000 problem means up to tens of thousands of people bitching on the Internet.
Clearly checking the connection for type and speed dynamically was not something they foresaw. This incident was like the Fukushima accident -- a whole bunch of rare things stacking up.
X-box was a panicked reaction to the burgeoning TiVo/set top surfing market. Who cares about a home PC when you can surf through your TV? Make it Direct X-based for easy (so to speak) cross-development. This had to work, unlike the myriad other "me too" projects they flopped at.
As it turned out, it was the touch screen tablets that wrecked home PCs as a necessity, and their "me too" of that did indeed flop.
Reminds me of Michigan State's on-campus electricity generator. It could burn fossil fuels, but that's too expensive, so they boil water electrically, from the local electric utility. Cutting out the middle man? Forget it.
The mouse hovering over a variable or function, calling up the definition and local comments, to say nothing of "goto definition or declaration", was a stunning, inconceivable future capability George Jetson might have had.
And compilers warning of potential overflow issues? Forget it, R. Daneel.
Read a sci-fi book once where a (shadow) government (the bad guys) has a massive system that watched all public cameras and used facial recognition and other techniques, and license plates and car styles, on roads, to essentially create a 100% live, up to date database on where everyone was. They even used stuff that would be trivial nowadays, like WiFi and Bluetooth signals-qua-radar to track positions loosely inside buildings, with some AI guesswork on which floors and rooms people were in.
Got a name? Plug it in, there is the estimated position (or actual, if in camera rance) complete with live feed. Follow their car down the road. Watch them park and go into the building. See a 3D animation of their body as it walks inside on its estimated route to its desk.
Oh! He' s on the pooper now! Sick. If this is to happen, it needs to be public so we can watch government right back.
Not taking sides in any "stem cell war," but adult stem cells do seem to be the ones we hear about having these miraculous effects.
A great deal of effort went into making adult stem cells work like fetus ones, thanks to a couple of true geniuses. How much sooner would we have gotten here without that delay?
Hulk Hogan is running third party... And is planning to fix the national debt by having the government advertise for Rent-A-Center as well as product placements and paid advertisements during congressional debates.
As the government never pays back the debt, we are getting more ripped off on what that debt bought than rent-2-own places scam you for -- they "only" charge net 2x what you should pay.
Pretty much. Every time the US or EU demand this or that locality or back door, think how dictators in China, Russia, or a hundred countries south of Europe and the US cackle in glee at being able to use it to track and disappear dissidents.
Both are less likely than good old corruption. South Korea banned Uber, to the cheers of "taxi consumer protectionszzz" nuts everywhere, then immediately handed their business model out for legal use by the politicians' connected cronies.
Same thing here. Why the hell do people think people go into government in the first place?
Just include this warning: "Warning! The government requires we give them your info to scan at their leisure to aid in their remining in power over you."
Unless the INSL (Iranian National Security Letter) includes the term it must be kept secret. Sucks to ne them.
Haha, they have no First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendment to prevent all this!
This battle should remain one on the technological level, where it is up to the content producers and distributers to make it physically difficult to bypass.
Everything else is just browser variants. I am pissed Chrome no longer permits right click save picture/open in new tab, presumably because the site has some copyright bit set. It used to.
Appeals to the lowest common denominator - isn't that how you win elections?
Which is why Trump was in fact the most qualified Republican to be their nominee. The whole process has morphed into a gigantic reality TV show, America's Next Top Politician. Reality TV has been Trump's career for the last few decades, so he was a professional among amateurs.

With the atomic hypothesis of matter still centuries away from being proven, with its tinker toy-like molecular children, the idea of transforming one thing into another using only chemistry is quite reasonable. I mean, gold must come from some combo, right? We just need the right one.
Go on, crackpot. Tell me again about this laughable "atomic hypothesis".
I suspect Donald understands real property very, very well. Intellectual property? Maybe insofar as licensing his name is concerned. He doesn't know an API from an IPA.
He understands real property exceedingly well, supporting the Kelo decision, which ruled taking a house and giving the land to another private person who will pay more taxes on it, to a government insatiable for cash, is a "public use".
Even many on the left, who supported it initially for that reason, no longer do once it was pointed out this massively targets poor people, leaving them worse off.
you'll end up having rebels all the way from communists to Islamists.
What?
People with governmental systems vastly inferior to capitalism in providing quality of life for the average person will continue to kibitz over capitalism in bids for power.
And it will probably be staffed by robots, which means that there won't be many extra jobs for the local people. There will be a few jobs during construction, and then the factory will be mostly automated.
And is Apple supposed to open a robot factory in every country it sells in? The whole point of a common market is trade between nations is a benefit to all.

It isn't censorship. Censorship is being forced to remove things.
This is just, ummm, pre-removal before things gets that far.

Sloppy on their part. I have worked on modern car radios. Where are their test CDS and thumb drives with 10,000 1-second mp3s? 10,000 folder? Etc.
There are companies that make test stuff, too, with media and files broken in pathological manners.

I sent $27 to Bernie. No regrets.
dot dot dot for now.
> sucked dry
The only thing sucking India dry is the corruption, where one looks to go into government so one can earn a nice life demanding kickbacks.
This puts the brakes on economic development as surely as mafia kickbacks, warlordism, and kings demanding cuts and permission to do anything does.
