It's a societal change that needs to occur. Current SDC can handle good weather, well-maintained roads, etc, but struggles with ambiguous situations (unprotected left, pedestrian walking on the shoulder). If we, as a society, decided that SDCs are more like trains, and you had best stay out of the way, and anyone getting injured by one is to blame, then we could have SDCs very soon.
There is precedent for this in jaywalking. Look up the history of that term and how the auto manufacturers basically created a crime out of thin air to shift liability away from their creations.
Could this just be clever "parallel construction" to cover insider trading? Buy some satellite data or phone location data and use it to prove what you already know.
Airlines could pressure the FAA to change how PIC hours are calculated to make it a bit easier, and basically promote some of the current stock of low hours pilots immediately.
Lots of people are using mouse and keyboard through 3rd party adapters on Xbox to gain competitive advantage (aiming in an FPS is much more precise with a mouse).
Step #1 here is to let people use it legitimately against other M+KB users, and build a data set of what M+KB input looks like versus controller input
Step #2 is maybe using the ML model from step #1 to ban people using M+KB adapters to cheat.
Precisely this. Modern companies usually have very little data on-site. It's all in the cloud. They didn't want what was in the office, they wanted the connection to the cloud.
The authorities actually wanted to raid the datacenter in the U.S., Amazon's cloud, gDrive, etc.
But that would involve a subpoena, and those are slow and can be contested before the fact. Much easier to show up before lunch one fine day and start twisting arms and making bogus personal threats to employees, deny legal counsel, compel people's passwords, and start digging around a bunch of online data, imaging live machines through the Thunderbolt bus, grab passwords, cookies, keying material, etc.
The solution that I have seen in a couple of companies now is this:
The Chinese DC's are isolated. All network traffic from the Chinese DC to the other DCs are whitelisted (from the non-China DC), with a long process involved to get anything added to the whitelist. Typically, only backup, migration, and monitoring are allowed. No keying material valid in a non-China-DC is allowed in the Chinese DCs. This means that any migrations will involve reencryption with new keys. Automated and manual audits of inter-DC traffic are performed.
This is because the vehicle manufacturers are underrating their batteries. A battery good for 500 charge cycles when charged to 100% capacity might be good for 1500 cycles charged to 75% capacity only.
They just make 75% = 100% on the gauge, and adjust the range estimate appropriately.
You can especially see that this is the case with Tesla. They install excess capacity and allow you to unlock the extra with a payment and OTA update. There aren't unused batteries if you don't buy the upgrade, just unused capacity.
What you did is stream to your computer and then screen capture a Chrome tab and pipe it to Chromecast. Very inefficient, clunky, problematic.
What Google wants is an Amazon video app. You use your phone to start a video on the Chromecast, and the Chromecast gets the stream directly from Wifi, decodes it, displays it. Your phone only does start/stop and title selection.
The customer can't easily distinguish between a secure and insecure product, so even if they cared, they'd have no way to provide an economic force to cause developers to prioritize security.
Better to buy your buddy in the urban planning department a few Rolex's and lavish vacations to know where the next station will be just a few days before the other property developers.
The NSA wants your data, hence they want your phone to work. The only reason I can imagine that they'd disable phones in a wide area is if there were cell phone detonators, and even that is usually accomplished by simple jamming.
The underlying problem here is that prohibition is a failed policy, and yet another form of moral panic.
As such, the DEA has an impossible task (enforcing the failed policy), and yet also knows that everything they do to enforce that policy is Right (justified by the moral panic).
Hence, they will cheat once, they will cheat always, they will make deals with the Devil, just to "win".
And this is the modus operandi for an organization that operates a fleet of drones.
The claim that the documentation "vanished" seems bogus. Far more likely in my opinion that it never existed in the first place, or that at some point they fired everyone, and thus broke the chain of custody.
Don't be jealous. Canon has been years behind Nikon for quite a while (if you believe DxoMark). There's very little image quality difference between the 7d/60d/50d/t4i/t3i/t2i, despite that these models span 5 years of development. Canon's sensor technology has hit a plateau for several years now.
Nikon is using Sony sensors that are really excellent. Nikon's APS-C D3200 performs comparably to Canon's 35mm 5D Mark III.
This may be the first sign that Canon will eventually catch up, but this sensor is really for a video camera only. We can't extrapolate to any DSLR improvements yet.
Every time I see a post like this, I'm reminded that I have been down this road myself, and seen my family members suffer for it.
If this is tempting, be honest with yourself, and look at your track record. I'll bet that you have alot of parts lying around for projects that are still "in progress". You have a reason that they are still "in progress", but realistically, you are never going to complete it. They are all waiting on something, and that thing they are waiting on is not actually in progress.
Now you want to take in enough derelict electronics to fill a shipping container, because having 53, low power, invisible, assorted brands and designs of IR lasers, still buried inside their cases, is somehow better than not having them.
Do yourself a favor and tell your "friend" to hire an electronics disposal company. He should be paying you to take all that crap off his hands.
When the day comes that a flyback transformer or DVD laser is the last part needed to complete your Tesla coil or whatever, $5 in gas money and Craigslist will get you your part.
Most states already do this. They call it a "use tax". The only trouble with it is that everyone is already guilty of evading this tax. If you ever bought anything online and didn't pay tax, if you ever bartered or paid cash for something on Craigslist, if you ever bought an item in state A that has a lower tax than your current state B, etc.
These glasses don't cure colorblindness at all. They allow some colorblind people to pass some color-blindness tests by making them literally blind to certain colors (by filtering them with the lenses). The article mentioned that a person shouldn't drive with one version of these glasses because they'd be unable to see a yellow traffic light.
These glasses are interesting for other reasons, but they are not a practical cure for color blindness.
1. Root these devices, and synchronize their clocks 2. Turn them all off 3. Monitor the power network for a temporary increase in voltage (since load was suddenly shed) 4. Just as the voltage gets back to normal, turn all the devices on. 5. Watch the power network for a temporary decrease in voltage (since load was suddenly added) 6. Just as the voltage gets back to normal, turn all the devices off. 7. Once you have found the resonant frequency of corrections to the electrical grid, tell all the devices to cycle at that frequency. 8. If there is enough load handled by these devices, the system may oscillate so heavily that voltage is far outside of normal, causing overheating or fires (either too high voltage for resistive loads or too low voltage for inductive loads), excessive vibration, design parameter excursions, etc.
That's the concentration at the detector on the car. Many of those leaks will occur in an partially enclosed space which would allow gas to accumulate and eventually explode.
Every leak has a concentration gradient going from 100% at the source though the explosive range and eventually to the background level far away from the leak. The important part is whether there is a sizeable volume that is within the explosive range.
Eventually XP may no longer be practical, the hardware you have may fail, etc.
You are right that there's nothing compelling you to switch, just as there's nothing forcing you to drive a car with ABS, seat belts, fuel injection, etc.
The killer feature for Windows 8 is the tablet interface, but for that to matter, you'd need to buy a tablet.
This does seem like a strange plan, but one thought that occurred to me is that, probably, when the big content owners are negotiating about how much to charge for streaming (or deciding if they will even be available), the fact that their content is already available on Netflix via the DVD service makes it hard to force them. Imagine after this change, where if you have the streaming only service, even the recommendations don't show the DVD-only titles. Except for certain big titles that you search for, you will never know what you are missing, and those titles will drop off the radar. And if you are happy with the streaming-only titles, then what is your incentive to go with the separate DVD-by-mail service.
This may help the big content owners come to their senses and allow streaming, or even download rental. I think what we are seeing are the effects of the current and impending shakedowns by the content owners, who prefer to own the channel and thus the profit inherent in the channel.

Yeah, because the terrorists are required to use duct tape and soda cans in their IEDs...
