1) You're an idiot. Most of what you're talking about is simple tracking cookies based on your browsing habits, you're just not aware of how easy it is to track you across what seems like unrelated sites... guess what, ITS FACEBOOK YOU FUCKING MORON. What do you think Like buttons ACTUALLY do? They aren't there so you can Like them, they are there so Facebook knows EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE.
2) Perhaps you should stop using an Android device.
Everything mentioned in the article can be explained by an android device with its shitty permissions stealing information. And it certainly notices when its near other android devices and can easily report that back.
This IS already happening with rogue apps. The question simply becomes, are you using one of those apps?
I say Android specifically because of its all-or-nothing approach to permissions that means people give apps permissions they wouldn't normally because thats the only way they can use the app at all, versus iOS where you simply deny permission to that resource and unless the app 100% depends on THAT resource, you will get rejected from the app store if you don't function without that resource. I.E. No forcing users to allow you to track them in your app that has no reason to track them.
It just sucks, and its why all your snap-tite models fall apart and you end up using model glue on them anyway.
Some things are not meant to be put together in a half-ass flimsy way so the first strong breeze shakes it loose.
Good job Clemson, you caught up to what Testes was doing 80 years ago.
Not exactly sure why they think that architects don't use digital files for any house that gets built. The paper plans you see are for the builders who aren't carrying a fragile computer around the job site.
Perhaps we should require that professors who work at these universities have some sort of actual real world experience on an ongoing regular basis so they don't repeat the same shit 12 year olds were doing before they were born.

Heh, I have about 12 naze boards, I'm in the commit logs for baseflight, it is EXACTLY what I'm talking about, it's not worth using over an AVR due to it being a 72mhz ARM with multi clock cycle instructions and memory wait states means it's not worth bothering over a large AVR with 0 wait state reads Due to read ahead and most instructions being single clock cycle.
No one is doing anything special with it.
I suggest you get a clue. The Naze software is a port of AVR software (multi wii) and it is far less powerful than something like ArduPilot which does everything your referring to and more including fully autonomous flight (which naze doesn't). Your arm doesn't do shit faster because the AVR isn't yet overloaded by handling and the ARM you are referring to is a bottom of the line POS.
Can an ARM. Be faster? ABSOLUTELY! A 72mhz ARMv6 from STmicro... No, that's just a waste of money.
Floating point isn't actually a good thing in flight controllers, fixed point is preferred..
Super scalers make execution timing unpredictable, not what you want in real time applications.
Your pretty much wrong in every way. Not that ARM is in anyway bad, just that it doesn't fit every job, especially when you start off with the most worthless on on the planet
You've never worked with a ticket system where submits come directly from end users, have you?
The human taking the input will almost always have a better output that will save time on the other end by clarifying and confirming things that aren't going to happen in the app.
The only difference here is that they told people about the app, causing interest in it.
Running an ad campaign reminding people that they could call in would have been just as effective
So let me be clear, I'm currently work on flight controller software (Drones) that I'm running on both AVR and ARM processors. A 72mhz ARMv6 chip... meh, give me the AVR at 20mhz.
Its not all about bus width or clock speed. Most AVR instructions are 1 or 2 clock cycles, a handful are 3. ARM is rarely a single clock cycle, 3 being common. From a MHZ perspective, you just practically equalized them. The ARM at 72mhz has very little advantage from a CPU perspective. Having an MMU is nice, but once you start using it, you're likely starting to eat more cycles than you have spare and you're no longer real time.
The AVR has a fully orthogonal instruction set. Writing AVR assembly is actually enjoyable. Unlike ARM (god don't get me started on x86).
AVR chips are durable, you're not going to find an ARM that can handle the load/voltage of an AVR. I could go on for hours.
Of course, on that same note, I could argue for hours about why you'd want to use an ARM over an AVR.
They don't serve the same purposes, its stupid to pretend they really compete against each other. You simply can't take full advantage of the ARM CPU and do a lot of real time work, for example. So just use an AVR for the real time bits and leave the 'business logic' to something else.
The chip is way more powerful than an 8-bit Arduino
No, it isn't, you're just only looking at the MHZ and not the actual real world performance. Its not bad or anything, its just barely better.
and the code is comparable in complexity to an Arduino
Sure, but so is any processor that has an Arduino library for it, whats your point? I can write an entire OS in one line if you want. Of course, that one line is just going to jump to some actual code that does the real work... kind of like how Arduino sketchs are just standard C++ files which are preprocessed to include the Arduino headers and libraries.
Your problem is assuming that non-Apple laptops aren't made well.
Wrong.
My assumption is that a $350 laptop doesn't compare to any Apple laptop sold.
My assumption is that a $350 laptop is not well made.
I can tell you right now that my laptop, an Alienware 17, has better build quality and performance than any Macbook
Yea? How's the price comparison at that point? You didn't pay $350 for that Alienware, did you? I'm not arguing that Apple is the best choice, I'm simply arguing that Apple doesn't sell any laptop that comes anywhere near being comparable to any $350 laptop you buy.
You can argue that 'for you' the $350 is the same functionally, because you don't use anything more, but from a technical perspective it falls apart.
You want a $350 laptop? Good for you. I use a $250 one in my boat, and don't care if it dies. Works GREAT for that purpose. My MBP stays home or at the office on a nice comfy desk or on my lap, is at least 16x faster according to benchmarks, turns into a small heater when under load, and has more ram than the one in my boat his storage space. I'm not trying to claim that the $250 is the same as the MBP though.
Also, a gas station digital watch is cheaper, more durable and probably has more functions than a Rolex. It is better in every single way, unless you're an idiot with too much money.
No it doesn't. I assure you, your i3 with 4gb doesn't perform anywhere near the same as an i5 or 7 with 16gb. Are you stupid? Just because you use it for basically nothing and can't tell that its performing differently doesn't mean it isn't.
I imagine you meant Lexus
Okay, you are stupid. No I said Lotus, I meant Lotus. You're comparing bargain basement to high end. There are many other brands I could have picked from, but Lexus is Toyota which means you clearly are utterly failing to understand that you aren't buying the same thing. But even Lexus to Toyota is more appropriate t
The problem with your argument is that you think anyone who owns a MBP wants a cheapass plastic laptop with a crappy display.
If they did, they wouldn't have spent 6 times as much to get high quality polished device.
Your argument revolves around comparing a Rolex to a gas station kids 'digital' watch and pretending the kids watch is better in every way. Its certainly cheaper, but by pretty much every other aspect, its shit.
Turns the machine into a rocket for basic tasks. No, it isn't a gaming machine, but it runs everything else as fast as is needed, for less than $450.
So... you can find a cheaper machine but it doesn't perform as well... do I need to show my shocked face? Do you think your Toyota is the same as a Lotus too?
I work for the sixth largest teleco in the US... Phone number portion of caller-I'd comes during the call setup phase, the phone number has been sent before the call connects.
CNAM dipping turns that number into a name and address using a third party service... And we send billions of CNAM dip requests a day to them and get the response before call setup completes or we move on without it... A quick look shows we had a grand total of 8 requests that failed yesterday after 150ms, they were retried and all completed the second try, total lookup time was never over 500 ms
Anyone claiming it takes a long time to do CID lookups is a liar.
Bothers reading bug reports or they would have fixed this issue 7 years ago when users first started reporting how shitty the lock screen configuration is
They REQUIRE 1gb, the state that less than 4gb is not recommended and disable features by default if you only have 4. They also both state that ZFS loves RAM pretty clearly. If you use less than eight, your probably doing it wrong. 16 is a minimum for a pure NAS server.
ZFS itself needs 4gb of ram to be useful even on small dishes or you end up with no effective caching at all. 8gb is the practical minimum for a small hfs file sever that only does nfs. You want 4-5gb of ram for every tb of deduped data unless you know your dataset really well or you can quickly end up with a file system that can't be mounted because it's continually reading the dedup table that won't fit in RAM and must be consulted before every single read or write... and if your using the machine for anything, 16gb with no dedup.
RAIDZ is crap. It doesn't have the write hole because it ALWAYS PERFORMS badly when writing RAIDZ. Never use RAIDZ, bite the bullet pay for the mirrored setup and experience ZFS that doesn't suck ass.
You're wrong on pretty much every account. If you'd ready any fairly recent slash.
Also, the only part of the "life-safety" system you can access is the airbag status.
Sure, because you just don't know the proprietary ODB codes the manufacture uses to control devices for test purposes. Other people do, you can buy them from the manufacture.
Those both have their own isolated subsystems.
Sure, but they are connected and communicate, and due to the lack of decent coders who think about these things, we've repeatedly seen how exploitable these networks are, unless you live under a rock.
You cannot mess up the "life-safety" systems in the car through the ODB-II port, you can only read the status.
A simple Google search will show many demonstrations of exactly how wrong you are.
The things you could change, if a device changed operating mode to the diagnostic mode, are just things that would make your car run like crap, or shut off
... No, just resetting the mixture settings, which is what you're referring to, its the only thing that can be done. ODB-II handles all sorts of shit you're completely unaware of apparently. There are commands required to be common to all cars by the government, those don't do much other than read emissions data. Thats what you're talking about. The are generally several times MORE proprietary codes that the manufacture uses. These are the dangerous ones and I promise you, you're car has them even if you don't realize it.
. Yeah, if you plug this thing into your car, and the software gets cracked, trolls could disable your vehicle. Why should manufacturing stop? If your doorknob was built with a lock that some people could pick, bad people could steal from you. Does that mean that locks shouldn't be manufactured? No, it means you have to choose what product to use, and some people will make poor choices.
Other than you're completely wrong as has been proven and posted here on slashdot on multiple occasions, there is also the fact that this is essentially indoctrinating kids into accepting that someone watching our every move and profiting from it is totally acceptable.
My car is old, a 2000, but even with the car off and the main computer without power, the traction computer is still on and functioning. The anti-lock brakes are on the same computer as the anti-roll parking mode, and the traction assist for ice and snow. I could totally fry the main computer that connects to the ODB-II port, and I'd still have traction control.
Not really, believe it or not traction control requires both braking AND powering the wheels appropriately. So no, you don't have traction control without the engine running.
And if the vehicle is in gear and moving, I'd still have power assist to the brakes even if the engine had stopped firing because of a computer problem
Assuming that someone hasn't simply hacked and disabled those systems via the ODB-II port that you seem to think has this magic firewall that no one could possibly ever break. And to go ahead and clear up some more confusion. That computer is still own because the vehicle control module told it to stay on for a few minutes after the main power is shut down. When communications with the main computer go down... I'll give you a guess as to what happens... Hint: its not function as if nothing were wrong.
So before you start telling people they are wrong on the Internet, get a clue.
Ask Chrysler about it, they'd love to sell you a car since you'd never believe they've been owned in multiple ways just recently.

$200 phones get given away when you sign up for service, no one actually pays for a $200 phone, they get them for free.
You pay $200 for an $800 iPhone. You don't pay shit for a $200 POS that no one wants.
What makes you think it'll be any worse?
I think thats the point. 99% of new grads are just worthless, changing it to 2 years isn't going to change that ratio in any noticeable way.
