The only way to learn a language is exposure. The way I learned English was: 1) Subtitles. That means all movies have subtitles, so I could read and hear at the same time. 2) Speaking it. During my English classes, I had a stupid teacher who allowed us to do anything in class. Even talk among our selves, as long as we did it in English.
We were soooo smart and that teacher was soooo stupid as we were not following his lessons at all. Ha, we showed him. Yes, if we ade an error, he corrected us, but we were still aloowed to NOT learn anything. Oh man, how we showed him. Stupid little smart fucker.
In hindsight that was the bestest teacher I have ever had. He is responsible for the best co,pliments I get, which is people calling me stupid for my language, because that means it is good enough to be thought to be coming from a native speaker.
From what I have seen, they are all front loaded. Would it not be better to have them top loaded? e.g. have a drawer that you pull out and then have the SSDs mounted vertically with the contact at the bottom. I would imagine you could place a lot more in them as they can be closer together as the full depth could be used. Could be that it has to be 3 units instead of a 2 unit. So just a print plate the depth of the rack with a lot of SSD connectors on them. Plug them all in and you are done. Obvious some space needs to be reserved for some other parts.
Make a device that automatically turns the screen to black and the sound off when ads are shown and let's see of the companies still don't do anything. Make it a second delay, so they can not cheat. See if they still do not try to do anything. Now give away the device fro free and it will be forbidden very fast.
The difference with Internet and the rest of the ads they bombard us with is that we have the ability to block them. Something I can not do in the rest if the cases. Not really. Not on the street. Not in the newspapers. Not anywhere else, except on the Internet.

I also would like to add that one blocking device does not exclude the other.
Things I do to block: 1) Adblock (with blocking all) 2) host file blocking 3) On sites I visit a lot, custom CSS files (e.g. Youtube) 4) DNS server thar block whole domains (e.g. facebook.com and fb.com) as they are not stricly ads and wont be in the hostfile and have such a mulitude of subdomains and add them almost ad random.
Running your own DNS server also helps with the silly blocking of some websites like KAT or Piratebay in my country.
Other ways that can be included would be using so,ething like privoxy and an externa DNS service.
Timeconsuming and costly is the same as security through obscurity. So that means that your nor I will be attacked. It means that people who have money and time will attack those who they seem to be interesting targets.
So it could be between big companies or more likely between countries. To me that is not FUD, but IT stuff that matters. I will not panic over it, but find it technical interesting.
What you look at is car sharing vs. car owning. The car would now drive the spouce to work, drive back, so the other spouce can do some shopping. The kids will be driven to the school and the car will drive back so the person at home can do something else.
Because if it would be an issue, they would just buy a second car, regardless if it is selfdriving or not.
Moving to the next village? Not even that. I did some stupid shit when I was young and I am sure many of us did.Now this would result in perhaps not being emplyed, because somebody fillemed it and put it on Facebook and tagged me. HR finds out and now go for the other person.
Now this is an annectdote that is known perhaps by a handfull of people. The rest of the people will most likely have forgotten it and if not, have no idea who I am and not link it to me.
With the all knowing memory, all the bad things will come up for ever and ever as if your mom is there all the time to remember every person you ever meet how you pooped in the car as a 5 year old and thought it was chocalate and ate it (yep, and example). And that is the first they wil know about you.
So yes, I am all for the forgetting of things. I am also a realist and know that the companies have won already. They are the new kings and they make the laws. Unless we take away the power of that new royalty, they will gain in power.
I see it the other way around: Governement maintained lists of crimes (regardless if that are sex offenders or others) should be maintained, so that in a case of relapse, adeqaute action can be taken.
A private website should remove anything about my person (regardless if that is crime related or not) on my request. This will differ for things were the private site is party of said data, e.g. bank records. I can not ask to remove the bank records as they are owned by both the bank and by me.
To me the right of the person must succeed the rights of a company. And if that is inconvinient for the company, so be it.
To me this is about opt-in vs. opt-out. First they should ask me if they are allowed to enter the data. After that every 5 years they need to ask again. If I do not respond positive, they need to delete it. If they are unable to identify me, thye must delete it.
Again: to me the rights of the individual is more important than the right of a company. If the quention comes to: should we thing of the people or of the companies, we should always say 'we, the people.'
So you read an article online. and while the Google people, who have access to all data, who have examined it in various ways, who have altered the code, because they say the car was in the wrong. THEY SAID THE CAR WAS IN THE WRONG, you can come up with statistics that show that the blame is not on the car?
So in effect you disagree with the Google people who have the actual data and alter it with you made up data.
No Google car will make the same mistake again. Likely no other autonomous car will make the same mistake again.
Why no other one? Is this an open source project, or are they sharing, like Volvo who said safety is more impotant than having the patent on the 3-point safetybelt.
It would be interesting if the companies (willing or unwilling) would share this kind of data. I am sure hat that will not happen. It will be 'good that their car killed a person, that way we sell more.' Because you know that at one point it WILL kill somebody, even if it is to avoid killing 2.
So let me get this straight. It just needs to broadcast its IP adress untill there is a connection and restarts when it gets a new IP untill it gets an autentification.
So I have a garagedooropener and i,agine I do not have a domainname liked to it and I am married.
I install it and my wife and I configure the IP adress at home. We go to work. It changes IP adress as my provider does randomly. So it starts spewing its IP over UDP all day long. I get home first, have to wait on average 30 seconds. I get the new IP and the system stops sending. I leave to pick up something from the store.
Now my wife comes home. The system does not send anything anymore. She does not have the IP. She can not open the door.
The obvious solution for this is to have a dyndns or similar service, so we can use a standard domain name. That is a tech solution/ The second is to use a server as middle man where you can pick up info.
Both are not that different One uses a domain name, the other a login and password.
That said, waiting on average (with 60 seconds as max) to open a door or turn on a light is a LONG time. Having a fixed IP would solve all that, but providers like to resell stuff they do not need to pay for as you would have an IP adress anyway.
Do you NEED these things? No. I bet you do not need the majority of stuff you have either, unless you live 100% frugal. Bt that is a complete different discussion.
It is just a name.. Language is not binary or logical. It is a tool of comunication. If people talk about IoT, do you or don't you know what people are talking about? Hint: it is not just camera's anymore. It is your toaster as well. It could very well be that you do not like the name, but renaming it to something you like will not really change, becasue then somebody else might not like it. Remember that a rose by any other name is still a rose.
And calling a spade a spade might be good for you or me, but for others this is very bad. That is why people call some things a shovel or a turfing iron. Look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... for other uses of the name spade.
So as long as you are aware what it means, it is fullfilling its purpose, regardless if it is called IoT or IP Spade (I know that is not what you proposed) or whatever name you like to come up with.
I personally do not like the word pineapple. It is not a pine, it is not an apple, but I do know what they mean with it, so it is fullfilling its function.
It is called 'having the cake and eating it too'. The thing is that they KNOW what is going on. They take with both hands. The question is what you are going to do about it.
As Sanders said (I am not saying you should vote for Sanders) it might already be to late. Influence of companies might already be too far reaching.
Not me. I will block them regardless, unless they give me money and that needs to be a lot. Even if it is just a standard banner. I do not want it. I do not want it on my underware either. I do not want it anywhere.
Whill this ever happen? No. If I hoever give them one finger, I am sure they will not take the whole arm, they will take the rest as well.
There is no reason why I should agree with having ads. If they have to say something, they can do that themselves. They do not defend me, I do not defend them.
Blocking ads on the Intertubes is done because it is possible, not because it is any less needed anywhere else. We have been so bombarded with it that we think it is normal or ok. As if giving your kid only half a beating is ok suddenly.
I really liked Windowmaker. At one moment I went to XFCE due to driver issues, What I liked is that the only thing it did was out things on my desktop. It did not try to do anything else.
Now we have a booty system that wants to do everything, running a kernel that trees to do everything, launching a desktop that tries to do everything with a browser that wants to do everything.
One of the reasons I started with Linux, because I liked how everything was separated (Last Windows version was Windows 95 without IE) and now we have this mess.
I like that I have 25 different programs and that each program can be replaced with something I like for reason only I know and only I need to know.
At this moment I run KDE, GNOME and XFCE programs at the same time, because sometimes I like one more than the other for any random reason.
Mmmm. Perhaps I should look back into Windowmaker as new drivers are out since a few years.
Apple's encryption is still very secure. It hasn't been broken, and even Apple won't be able to break it for the FBI. What the FBI wants Apple to do is hack the unlock code for them.
So why are they working on a phone that can not be hacked if they already have one?
being in Belgium, I was amazed when I had to walk to the counter in Amsterdam to do my payment. In Belgium all restaurants that I know of have a cardreader they take to the table. You put in your card. You put in your code. The thing beeps. You take out your card and that way the card never leaves your sight and you do not need to walk to the counter to do the payment.
In the US I was confused by the number of papers I got. First the bill, then several papers with the same amount on it. You need to sign it and write the tip on it and put it away and the rest in your wallet.
As I never saw a waiter after they left the bill, I noticed when I came home that I had several papers with signature and tip on it. So not only did they not get a tip, they never even came by to verify the signature or if there WAS a signature.
And sorry for the not tipping. I do think that it is a stupid custom, but that is NOT the reason they did not get a tip. Others where I left the correct papers, I tipped.
Another thing is that it is so much harder to verify. In Europe the money I said OK to will be billed and I can follow it electronically. With the tips, I need to write it twice and then verify if they did not add some amount or if the writing was clear or not.
It is an ancient system and the sole reason they kept it so long is, I think, investing 25USD now in a machine that is able to do it is not interesting, even if the gain over a period is great. Also: we have pre-paid cards that do not even have a strip and several banks have blocked credit cards for use in the US by default. If you go there, you must ask to activate it. All because the security is non-exitend.
You could also look at the US being the UK of the Americas. I propose a trade: The UK goes to North America and Europe gets Canada. Everybody wins. (Sort of)
"Involved in" is not the same as "Guilty of". If a drug dealer buys an airplane ticket with drugs money, the travel agent is involved, but not guilty.
If they only buy one ticket, there is no reason to follow up on it. If they buy 10 each day, it might be interesting to follow up on, even if the travel agent is completely innocent. Just an example.
Also: There is case building. That means that extra information might be needed for a conviction or they might want to follow the lead and are not interested in the drug dealer on the corner. They know already who those are. They want to know who the big ones are as the smaller ones are replaces faster than they can arrest them.
That could make them even more in panic if they can not find one and unwilling to accept help from somebody who sees them and is honest. They will be obviiously in stress and then will be an easier target for the person with bad intentions.
I think the first thing is good enough. Any addition will confuse the kid more than helping it. Especially when looking at the ods.What is most importand is to keep the time the kid is lost as short as possible.
