This language/framework has all the signs of an academic exercise.
As someone who's been programming since the 1970's, I find it pretty hard to get past this statement in the Manual'
"We give the Ur language definition in LATEX math mode, since that is prettier than monospaced ASCII".
The author's choice precludes anyone cutting and pasting difficult syntax from the reference manual into their program.
Look at page 26. Does any programmer find this useful? Scanning down to the more practical bits, I find;
"The Ur/Web compiler is unconventional in that it relies on a kind of heuristic compilation. Not all valid
programs will compile successfully. Informally, programs fail to compile when they are “too higher order.”
Compiler phases do their best to eliminate different kinds of higher order-ness, but some programs just won’t
compile."
Really? Valid programs may not compile. I wouldn't spend a second learning any programming framework with this fatal flaw.
I've also done that. However, after I laughed at one of the operators (thick indian accent) I get a call back from someone with a Boston accent.
"You need to send me $10,000 if you want your life back."
Me: What? "If you ever want to see your stuff again, you'll have to pay me $10,000."
Me: Really? Why not $15k? My stuff is worth more than that. [hangup]
These calls can get pretty spooky. There's obviously an American presence which deal with the victims once the trap has sprung. Reverse number lookup on a land line gives them your home address. I don't recommend taunting criminals.
I now just say "I know about the scam. You should find a better job."
I used to get 3-4 a month. I now get them only a few times a year.
If Colorado simply required a state ID for purchasers that would seem to mute the issue. Purchases by out of state people would be illegal like anywhere else and CO would have done nothing to impact NE and OK. Of course, we tourists would be infuriated and might try our own suit claiming unfair impact.
Colorado law allows residents to purchase 1 oz at a time and nonresidents only 1/4 oz. There's nothing to prevent people from hitting multiple shops, but possession of over 1 oz for rec use is still illegal as is selling any quantity without a license. Taxes total around 30% of the retail price.
Tourists pay $45-60 per 1/8, tax included. Residents (repeat customers) often get a 20-30% discount. The legal shops are not a significant source of MJ for resale out of state due to it's high cost.
State Patrols in surrounding states are getting the reputation of acting like highway bandits near the CO borders. By now, every NE or OK, cop has some nice, labeled Colorado bud to plant on anyone who gives them trouble. Eventually, they will figure out it's more lucrative to target drivers right before leaving the state to get their cash rather than the MJ on return. I'd recommend spending as little time and money as possible in those states while traveling.
I attended 2 concerts at Red Rocks this summer. There was far less MJ in the air than I've ever experienced in concerts before legalization. We should have done this decades ago.
I have a Sony BDR-S3100 which grabs an IP address even when it's off. It also frequently updates itself without notification when off, leaving new movie trailers and unfamiliar and unwanted Apps in its menu. Each time it does this, (about every 2 weeks) I have to re-enter all my account login information. There's no way to disable these automatic updates. Sony CS has no solution. In addition, I've discovered when the user starts an App, like Netflix, the player first contacts Sony servers before actually running the app. When their servers are down, the player can't run the Netflix App.
Devices now own us. I miss the days when I had control over my devices.
What has to be remembered here is whatever they publicly tell us it does, secretly it does a shit load more, and will be used in ways they claim it won't be.
Mark my words, before long it will come out that they can track your car from the moment you leave your house. And it will be able to simultaneously do it with a lot of cars.
That day passed awhile ago. They will likely have a record of all visible travel in their coverage area (during pleasant weather). The commercial version of this tech collects 192M pixel time-lapse images. It will be an incredibly useful dataset.
Now this might come as a surprise to some of the technokids out there - but some of us actually *like* driving and don't want a computer doing it for us.
Well... The public roads aren't for joy riding. It's infrastructure for transportation. One might very well argue that you do not have the right to subject other people to unnecessary risk, just because you want to have fun.
Luckily the US has plenty of desert and car-crazy people, so if public roads were closed to human drivers, I'm sure there'll be lots of race tracks and open areas were human drivers are still allowed, etc...
Why should public roads be a government subsidized joy ride arena?
I feel pity for those who have never experienced the joy of riding for pleasure. I live in Colorado where we've built many, many roads expressly for the purpose of enjoying the scenery. The roads up Mt Evans and Pikes Peak are not and never will be "infrastructure for transportation".
Some public roads are built expressly for people to enjoy. I highly recommend you try it some day.
I'm all for the forth amendment and all, but having a camera pointed to the outside of his house is no different than having a cop sitting outside the house in a car.
As long as the car was 2 inches tall and could perch on top of a utility pole. The police would have gotten a warrant if they had any real evidence against this guy. Perhaps they just wanted his money.
"What are the product defects?:
Inconsistent combining of flame retardant compounds in plug of power cord.
Details:
Red Phosphorus has been used as a “green” flame retardant in mold compounds; it is known to cause certain failure modes if it is improperly processed:
Red phosphorus is used as a charring-promoter flame retardant.
It is normally coated with aluminum hydroxide and selected/screened for particle size.
If the coating is incomplete or absent, the phosphorus particles oxidize to the highly hygroscopic phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5), which reacts with atmospheric moisture to form phosphoric acid (H3PO4). This acid breaks down overmold leading to cracking along mold stress lines and further moisture incursion. This acid is a corrosive electrolyte that in the presence of electric fields facilitates dissolution and migration of metal.
Once a high impedance metal connection is made current will flow and localized heating will result. Metal migration will continue until a catastrophic event occurs.
Higher voltage accelerates the failure mode, so countries with higher voltage, like China and others, would more likely see the failure first, and possibly in a higher number.
Cracks in epoxy and red phosphorous crystal formation indicates red phosphorous – also noted throughout the material -- as source of failure in the Huachen housing."
In short, because of poor QA mixing the "green" flame retardant, the plug's insulation forms an acid in the presence of moisture and degrades the metals it surrounds. In this case, higher voltage accelerates the failure mode, not the higher currents in 110V countries.
Are those emails legit or fake? Well what better way to reverse this from a super embarrassment for Sony and corporate world to "them hackers are gonna kill us" and make the hackers look even worse and dangerous. Next we'll see the words Anti Corporate Terrorists used.
Those are false flag emails, designed to elicit outrage in the real attackers so they might identify themselves.
Remember, almost everything we hear about the hackers comes via Sony, filtered through the media. It's all theater at this point. Pretty good stuff too. Enjoy.
Who can beat their 120+ line items of largess in a town with less than 5000 people? The Florence Facebook photos page is to die for. It took me 5 minutes to recover. Looks like a total LE staff around 12. (including the dog). I want pictures of Florence Cops on Mules!
I wonder how well a laser is going to punch through a rain shaft if the microwave signal can't make it. This seems like great tech for temporary links, where someone can tend the optics, but seems dubious for permanent installations. It sure is nice to have a working network during the big ice or snow storm.
I once had to show I could pass messages by semaphore. (also very limited bandwidth in freezing rain) Gotta love tech where giant robots waving their arms are used to increase link distance and bandwidth.
There is an incredibly easy solution. Turn off your Wifi. Tada! Problem solved.
These days, it isn't easy being an electronic ninja. Don't forget to turn off Cell, Bluetooth and NFC, the radios in your glasses, watch, fitness monitor, Tesla fob, headphones, tablet and gameboy, and disable the RFID tags in your wallet, luggage, shoes and clothing.
Depends on whether they're identified. In Boulder Colorado, I was nabbed by a speed camera. I know the area where I generated the infraction and there was no notice, no sign, no nothing other than a letter a few weeks later.
[John]
I also live in Boulder and know the City spends a lot of money on their speed and red light cameras. When ticketing by mail for speeding, Colorado law requires an enforcement officer operate the equipment, record each infraction and post a warning sign ahead of the trap that reads "Photo Radar Ahead". The officer puts the sign up on some random street sign (usually not the speed limit sign) and parks the van down the road. They document the road signage and camera placements. The signs are green, only posted while the trap is active, and might be several blocks back if you are turning onto the street being targeted. There's also a warning sign on every road as you enter town. A City traffic engineer told me that the ticket thresholds in Boulder were set to +8mph on streets with speed limits below 35mph, and +13mph on city streets 35 and above. At least in Colorado, the speed cameras operate at a loss, and have little stealth.
If you were speeding that much and didn't notice the signs or the distinctive van with the strobe light on the back, you probably deserved to get a (no point) ticket in the mail. It's easy to avoid these tickets in Boulder.
You can only catch it by ingesting another persons bodily fluids
Let me translate that into real-world terms. Do NOT rub your eyes, nose, or mouth with the hand/s that have come in contact with Ebola infected bodily fluids.
While that's good advice, it's not completely correct. One does not have to "self-contaminate" to catch Ebola. Lab tests show a single droplet landing on your eye can cause an infection. It is well known that standard surgical masks, eye protection, gowns and gloves do not prevent transfer of Ebola from patients to their caregivers. The CDC techs working with Ebola use full containment suits with positive pressure ventilation and high performance respirators. They get 2 days of hand on-training on protocol. Reports in the MSM say the nurses infected in Tx were given a 20 minute training video and only gowns, shoe booties, gloves and a face shield. It's very possible that the infected Tx nurses didn't self-contaminate.
In addition, there's documented evidence of non-contact transmission between animals and primates. See http://healthmap.org/site/dise... The Ebola infection rate was 100% of the monkeys kept in the same room with infected pigs. There were no opportunities for direct contact between animals. There definitely are vectors for transmission of Ebola without any direct contact with bodily fluids.
I guess we're not hitting the broken silicon. We're gathering stills from a USB camera, crunching on the image and sending data via ethernet without issues.
Many people reported having problems with USB hubs and power in early models. Those problems seem fixed in the B+. I've never experienced stuck keys, even when the USB camera is in use, the CPU is heavily loaded, ethernet is transferring the images to clients and I'm 'tar'ing up files onto a USB stick.
However, there are reports where high rate, isochronous I/O via USB is still subject to data loss on this $40 system. I don't expect to get much from very low cost systems, so I'm happy.
I've been building and working on computers since 1974. I purchased 2 Chromebooks, one for me and one for my Mother-in-law, the ultimate computer phobe.
I'm trying to use my CB 2 in my shop, mainly as a passive device, but it gets used a lot. Neither of us is a happy camper.
First, I've never owned a PC which decreased in functionality over time, like my CB. Advertised features are pulled without warning.
Support for Open Documents has been dropped. I cannot display, edit or print my resume, cover letters or most of my personal documents without uploading them to Google Docs and converting them first. There's no problem if you've got MS format doc files, however.
The Chrome OS file manager is very, very limited. It, currently, can't relabel any type of volume. It's like using windows 3.0.
The File manager shown no thumbnails, disk usage , file permissions, ownership, or creation dates.
FInding and moving images from a Camera's SD card to Google drive takes at least 5-10 times longer than on a real laptop.
Printing is a royal pain in the ass, even if you have networked printers. I've found one needs an always-on helper PC to make practical use of a CB.
My MIL also has a great deal of difficulty with her CB. She can't tell what is an active control on the screen for her life.
The Icons are too small.
There's no thumbnails, so finding and looking at an image takes a... really...long...time. Scrap paper to write image names, helps.
There's lots of printers available at her retirement home. Printing from the CB takes an act from God and cooperation from Satan.
Her only option is to copy the file to a thumb drive and take it to one of their public PC's for printing.
I have an off the grid cabin. Given the CB's light weight, long battery life, I had hoped that my CB would be useful off grid, but it's turned out to be far less useful than promised. Without a good network connection, a CB is like talking to someone in a coma. Once I enabled dev mode and installed cruton, the device becomes alive again. I would never recommend anyone purchase a CB, unless they are a completely passive user and have access to other traditional compute resources or just want the hardware and will replace the OS.
My molecular virologist friend's laboratory has been inserting genes into adult mouse hearts. Today, scientists can turn a couch mouse into a elite athlete with an injection (directly into the heart). It won't be long before someone decides to do this in humans. One no longer needs to be born with the genes of an elite athlete to become one. Researchers in his lab are now studying python heart genetics to better understand the mechanisms which allow the python to double the size of its heart in 24 hours after eating. Personal genetic modification is just around the corner. I predict we'll be able to engineer better athletes within a decade.
(One of my prouder nerd moments was when I came up with the idea of a better, more humane mouse dynamometer and had a prototype built later that evening. Researchers now use my design, instead of forcing the modified mice to run to the point of exhaustion on an inclined treadmill with a motivational electrical shock grid at the back.)
Anyone can add a $9.99/mo charge to your bill. All they need is your cell # and access to a ring tone web site. You'll get a long spam SMS that ends; "reply STOP to cancel the special offer". If you fail to respond properly to the mystery SMS you didn't request, the phone company will bill you, claim you authorized the charges and refuse to cancel the service or issue any refunds. One has to put a block on all 3rd party services to in order to avoid being subject to this.
When it happened to me and I complained, the ATT CSR told me that it was Congress's fault; they specifically wrote this feature into Telecom law to encourage business.
Many Google Cloud Print laser printers are constantly connected to the cloud and have a software controlled heat element with the potential to start a fire. Anyone who can access the owner's Google account could send the printer malicious commands.
Another potential fire vector is smart devices with Li batteries. Charge a Li battery too long and it may burst into fire. Charging is typically software controlled and most people leave their smart phones and other devices plugged into a charger at night while they sleep.
An attack could be time triggered, and a million devices might set themselves on fire at 3AM on a specific date.
My own experience with the IOT suggests that security is an afterthought. It's past time we start taking these issues seriously.
My adult daughter introduced me to P&F and I've fallen in love. Like many Disney and Pixar films, the dialogue and plots are written to appeal to both kids and their parents. The adult characters and oddly interlocked subplots in P&F make it a favorite "comfort show" of mine.
The dialogue is witty, often very comical and always fully of great sci fi and cultural references.
Be sure to catch their Star Wars and Marvel super hero crossover episodes.

How is it hard to harass someone on drug charges, if they are not using or possessing drugs at the time of a police stop?
Cops often carry a "Ham Sandwich" in their "lunchbox". Anybody that they don't like will end up with a felony possession charge.

Step 1. Weaponize my "Laser" printer ...
Perhaps not as far fetched as one might expect.
Many Google Cloud Print laser printers are constantly connected to the cloud and have a software controlled heat element with the potential to start a fire. Anyone who can access the owner's Google account could send the printer malicious commands.
Another potential fire vector is smart devices with Li batteries. Charge a Li battery too long and it may burst into fire. Charging is typically software controlled and most people leave their smart phones and other devices plugged into a charger at night while they sleep.
