Back when I drove automatics, I'd do this too. The description makes it sound like an incredibly easy thing to accidentally turn on.
It also sounds like the most retarded feature on the planet.
I'm willing to bet he turned it on by accident, the keys pressed against his phone or lighter or whatever was in his pocket, and it was in range to move his car into a truck while inside.
He should have done responsible disclosure via a lawyer, with a 30 day notice, before posting the video. If he owns a security firm, he should have a god damn lawyer.
I think it's pretty apparent that the solar concepts are just concepts. Obviously there's not enough energy output to replace passenger flight.
But the question is, can solar panels on a plane offset the energy consumption enough to make a difference? That's probably also a no, but that's where the question should start.
Keep in mind, some cargo ships have been experimenting with massive kites/sails that help offset the energy needed for their engines:
Humanity has yet to master the atom. Not really. We can blow shit up, but we can't rearrange atoms. Not easily, not precisely and not without massive amounts of input energy.
There are many scientists, research labs, companies and other entities that have been tackling this problem for decades. Some are looking at nanotechnology, others chemical 3d-printers... but one day (if we don't go extinct), we'll hopefully figure out how to easily construct new material from existing matter with a reasonable amount of energy.
Once we have a stable version of tech like that, imagine what we could do on Mars. This is the basic necessity technology to being able to send humanity to Mars. Water is essential in that, as well as understanding how water systems work on Mars.
Either we make it to Mars (and eventually the rest of the solar system), or we go extinct. Looking past 10,000 years... 50,000 years...a million years: those are the only two options for humanity. Mars research is some of the most important research for our civilization and humanity as a whole.
I'm going to guess they're not filling up at gas stations, but have supplier deals with fuel distributors.
But yes, petrol stations make less than 5 cents a gallon typically from fuel sales. The fuel pumps are just there so you come in and buy other stuff. These startups are probably working in the red. They'd have to make enough from the surcharge to pay for drivers and their infrastructure. Maybe they're partnering with fuel companies for a cut?
5th amendment protects against self incrimination. He's compiled with the warrant. They have possession of the items. You are not required to incriminate yourself.
This goes well beyond what lawmakers anticipated. We are talking about unbreakable safes.
Despite what you may believe about this man and his alleged crimes, encryption is the key technology in promoting free speech and preventing though crime. Let me as you this: what if it had been gay porn and we still lived in a system where that was illegal (which wasn't that long ago)?
With 1% of Americans in jail, on probation or in some other way processed through the justice system (more than any other high income country in the world), no.. no it doesn't work at all. It's a clusterfuck.
> Cornhusker used a Flash application to deliver a user's real Internet Protocol (IP) address to an FBI server outside the Tor network. Cornhusker—so named because the University of Nebraska's nickname is the Cornhuskers—was placed on three servers owned by Nebraska man Aaron McGrath, whose arrest sparked the the larger anti-child-exploitation operation.
So they took control of this guy's servers somehow, and then placed a flash object on all of them. So the only people it would catch are people who proxied their standard browsers via tor or used the tor package... and installed Flash anyway.
This isn't.. even an exploit really. You could just put a fucking flashed based video player on a.onion and watch the logs.
Coming next: Corn and Soy for CO2 rich/oxygen deprived environments, brought to you by DuPont and Monsanto. Remember, saving seeds is patent infringement; pay us or we'll cut you.
It's happened with Turkey and now Mexico (although with Turkey that was more malicious).
We haven't had this sense of digital identity that we have today. In the US, our tax numbers are secrete (SSN numbers) but in many other countries, tax ID numbers are considered public or non-identifying (Australian's TFNs and NZ's IRD # come to mind).
Go back 100 years and you didn't have passports or work visas. If you could speak the language in your destination, you could go and attempt to work and survive (and if you failed there was a good chance you'd end up a slave; either by selling yourself or being sold).
Today you are attached to a digital identity. It is you, and a you that you cannot escape. Your crimes will always follow you. You cannot live or work anywhere without that digital identity of you being allowed to.
This just needs to happen in the US. The release of everyone's names, addresses, SSNs and SSN questions/histories would be almost a Fight Club like reset.
It's a regression, and a bad one. You can push 0-day updates via the standard ubuntu/debian package repository. Firefox doesn't even really have that many dependencies (it has an amazing amount of shit compiled into it. libjpeg, libpng, gzip..it links to the system libraries for almost nothing). This is for stability, but it also increases the risk of security holes quite a bit. A researcher at RMIT did a talk at Ruxcon one real about tools he wrote to scan manjor software projects to find vulnerable versions of embedded libraries.
In any case, snappy are a regression. Linux package management was always way superior to Android/Apple monolithic self contained apps. Linux now has svchost (systemd) and monolithic packages (snappy). How else can we fuck it up even more?
The US is the only high income/developed country that still executes people. 1% of American citizens have been through the criminal justice system, more than any other developed country. The American justice system is nothing to compare everyone else to.
Why do you hate him? It's pretty obvious from that quote that his brain is in a very different place. He doesn't see the world the way that socially adjusted people do. He did something horrible, and probably doesn't even begin to comprehend it in any meaningful way.
He has to be kept away from society, but that doesn't mean he has to be tortured. Europe is right here. Solitary confinement is a human rights violation. It needs to be abolished in the US.
Whatever he did, no one, NO ONE, deserves to be deprived of all interactions indefinitely from other human beings. You can give them an xbox or whatever, but it doesn't make up for person to person contact.
He his human. A human murdered those people. You are literally de-humanizing him because you don't want to accept the fact that another human, much like yourself, committed horrible crimes. He deserves to be treated like a human. That's the difference between us and his victims.
I hate how the article talks about how he has access to an xbox or whatever. Solitary confinement is very cruel and unusual. Removing all human interaction is one of the worst things you can do to a human, no matter their crimes. It should only be used when that inmate is in danger from the rest of the prison population.
Solitary confinement needs to be banned in the US, along with capital punishment. We're the only high income country that has capital punishment, and one of the few that has solitary confinement.
I need to get off my ass and set up a set of GNU Social and Diaspora nodes and experiment with some of the distributed/federated social networking. I realize a lot of it is broken with many projects being abandoned or merged, but I feel like I should find what's out there that works and try to get people on other social networks I'm on to migrate. If I can get a subset of just a few people to actively use an alternative, I'd be encouraged to help develop for those platforms.
Unfortunately I have two other major OSS projects I'm working on plus full time work...plus I go out and do stuff and things and like my social life. Our currently walled gardened social networks are a problem; a big problem. Censorship on Twitter and the new Reddit features basically help create an echo chamber effect.
After living outside the US for about four years, the worst part was coming back and seeing the mass of delusion. I'd say a good 1/3 of this planet believes the US blew up their own buildings and blamed it on terrorists. If you objectively look at the evidence, it makes a lot more sense than the official story. Americans don't want to believe it because it acknowledges the fact that we are living in a propaganda age and our media is not really free at all. We have always been lied to.
The Google Maps URLs are nice because they contain the entire view you're seeing (including a place you have highlighted or directions). Those URLs get pretty massive and if you post them in a chat window, they tend to break (special characters and such). So I can see use cases there.

Read the article. He claimed to have off-site backups in other countries, but they were mounted.
But also read the note under the summary. This whole story is probably bullshit.
He capitalized the wrong word. BACKUPS instead of OFFLINE
