The election showed that blaming "super-advanced" Russia (which by the way in reality does not produce a single PC or a smartphone) for hacking about everyone and everything does not work. People do not believe it. Move on, think of something else.
Besides, I do not get how Trump could be beneficial for Russia. Trump is smart, while the USA and RF remain natural competitors.
I hope this solar power station would not interfere with the de facto vast wildlife refuge, which formed in the Chernobyl Exclusion zone. Surprisingly the deadly radiation turned out to be a lesser evil for wildlife than a human with its exoskeleton - a car.
Mr. Podesta could use the the Google 2-Step Verification on his private Gmail. It is amazing, that a man who decides the destiny of the world does not use 2-Step verification. Was he qualified for this role in the first place?
The head of the US National Security Agency could explain to Mr. Podesta and his colleagues how to use it and why in proper time instead of blaming now everyone except himself.
Did not they think about that it could be just policy failure? In accordance with Occam's Razor principle this is just it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
As for a "nation state", it is a common practice that a state may provide some support to opposition groups. The USA does it for decades in Russia practically openly; and in other lands too. So it may be that they are learning and kind of trying to give a taste of own medicine.
USB-C does not have up and down orientation. One can plug it from the first attempt.
Sure, I can try pug in USB one way, then turn it 180 degrees, etc. It takes just several seconds of fumbling. But multiply it by thousands and thousands times in a company, or billions times globally, and it would be years, millenniums of wasted working time.
I do not approve it. I would prefer that Crimea remained in Ukraine. However, it happened partly because they feared the new military base there.
Russia itself gave Crimea to Ukraine in 1954 as a present. And I am sure it will do a similar gesture as soon as the situation returns to normal with the election of a normal clever man as the president of the USA.
Maybe if you learn Russian language and culture you would realize that Russian people are disinterested completely in conquering Europe. Actually they went away from it gladly as soon as the threat of a new western invasion somewhat subsided.
But thanks for the funny Russian alphabet tutorial!
I hope the mess, la pagaille, die Schweinerei which the Clintons created in Eurasia will be sorted out by Donald and some semblance of normality returns.
USB-A and similar designs where one has too switch on a bright light, find and put on glasses, look carefully just to connect must go. USB-A is a bad design, probably a result of jeunism in the IT industry. I mean that it is allegedly designed by young men and women with still perfect vision.
Millions of overpowered cars generate a lot pollution which also causes illnesses. Besides the technology is not there yet, - the combinatorial explosion is not a trivial problem.
And good luck with a self driving car on snowy steppe roads.
center and arrive at a city center with my suitcase in the same train car.
And no need of x-rays, body searches, waiting in lines before security and passport controls, taxi drivers, cosmetics thrown to garbage, etc. Take with you about whatever you want and as much as you want.
Just make a normal working WiFi in trains. Still in 19th century there was a direct train from Saint Petersburg to Nice via Vienna. Nowadays despite a lot of talking about European Union Association for such countries as Ukraine, it is not possible to go by train from Vienna to Kiev directly. The same as during the Cold War, nothing changed.
People in Russia are just as lazy and arrogant as Americans, and twice as drunk.
Alcohol consumption in Russian Federation is 15.1 liters per year per capita, and it is 9.2 liters in the United States. It is not twice, but 67%: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
It is a lot, but still not twice. And there is also a factor of Mormons too, and some other factors. There are several millions of Mormons in the USA who do not consume alcohol at all.
Another figure is beer consumption per capita. Here the US is well ahead of Russia, probably, due to a warmer climate:

Russia... pays... [for]...online... propaganda... One person from the U.S., doing this on his own without government backing...
Do you mean the government of the United States does not allocate money to promote actively its policies online? It would be interesting to know if there is such an expense in the US budget and, if still yes, to compare it with Russia's spending in this domain.
Even though these revelations may hurt certain politicians or parties, in the long run I think it is beneficial for everyone. In the past we would hear about a candidate like D.Trump that he helped poor women and children all his life untiringly, or that a competing candidate of the DNC, remarkably selfless one, is selected via popular vote, that our e-mails and browsers are secure, etc.
Now we know the truth. Yes, it is a bitter stunning truth, probably harmful truth, but it is the truth. And we could start to figure out what to do about it as grown up people, as opposite to deluded children.
In the Japanese language there are two words for reality. On is a reality as it seems, and another is the reality as it actually is. We need more of the latter and not only from the US.
I do not believe these were pure hacks. I am almost sure that there were inside helpers, individuals who want us to know the reality as it is.
In the former USSR a lot of people, if not a majority, are still running broken Windows XP and even piratated Windows 3.1. I saw PCs with several botes running along simultaneously. These PCs do not receive security updates (or receie them from teh bot owners' servers).
Since these people do not use credit cards online, they do not care about security. It is so easy to simulate a hack from these parts or even DDoS attack, as bot owners can copy parts of text in Cyrillics directly from these PCs as de facto they co-own them too.
I would prefer a solid evidence like a witness account or copies of government documents. Russia cannot produce a single PC, notebook, or even a smartphone. I would not believe that it has got supernatural powers to enter firewalled hardened US government servers.
If it is a big battery say 6S 10000 mAh and if they started to poor water on it after an ignition, it could happen. I saw cars and buildings ablaze because of a LiPo.
The sand or a special fire extinguisher is to be used, but even experienced RC pilots make this error.
The drone was shot at, the LiPo battery was damaged, and it exploded later. The LiPo batteries shall no be damaged, and if it still happened the LiPo should be disposed of correctly.
What if we look at it as a feature, not a bug? An initial hypothesis for further brainstorming, - imagine if a person breaks a law, and there is a court decision for it, the special message is sent to the criminal's smartphone, wherever he is, and the smartphone ignites.
It could be used also in cases when a smartphone is stolen.
Thanks to WikiLeaks we understand now better how the US political system really works. We know more about DNC, about funding, candidate selections, political figures' backgrounds, etc.
WikiLeaks did more in political science than generations of academic researchers. It is a revolution in political science, a new brave world.
In my opinion such leaks are beneficial as people beginning to understand better how the US democracy really functions. For example, it is not possible to build a machine if one is given only part of a technical documentation, even if it is the best part.
The same is here, - there are good strong parts in the US democracy, and there are certainly weaker dubious parts, as with everything in the world. In any case, it is useful to see and understand how the whole thing works.
The FCC and EC regulations about the power of a transmitter are the same for all. Hover, the range of DJI quads is much higher then usual. I flew DJI Phantom 3 Advanced up to 2.4 km away and back.
What do DJI OcuSync Transmission System or DJI Lightbridge mean exactly? And why do they provide a higher range?
Do these FCC and EC regulations make sense? Transmitter Power (EIRP) FCC - 26 dBm, CE - 20 dBm. Why cannot we use say 200 dBm and have a range of a hundred kilometers. Certainly for such long range it would be necessary to use a fixed-wing aircraft or a hybrid, Are these just bureaucratic arbitrary limitations as D.Trump talked about, - "layers upon layers of regulations..."?
...One purchases hundred or thousands of drones, slightly larger than the typical Phantom class and capable of hauling, say, a stick of dynamite or C4, and runs them through a civilian target. Pretty easy to do. Pretty easy to defend against but you would have to rig it up specifically for this level of threat - F35's are probably not going to be real useful here...
Drones are no good as weapons while fighting with peers. With savages - yes, but not with peers. Drones' control radio-signal is extremely vulnerable to jamming by the electronic warfare (EW) systems. For example, if something like this is switched on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... it will not be a good flying day for a drone pilot.

Just google "wildlife chernobyl exclusion zone" and see images of the animals.
