He looked at the firmware that was installed in a car the he (I presume) owned, and published his findings. If you want to keep something like this a secret don't distribute this "secret" in a firmware update that every single Tesla owner receives.
I'm so going to get buried by mods who disagree rather than marked informative, but here goes.
I moved to Rio 6 months ago from New Jersey. (Yeah, I know, NJ is the land where every puddle has its own rainbow.) I know 4 other people who moved here from the US within the last 2 years. Not one of us has gotten sick.
How often do you swim in the rivers/lakes there, or do other water sports?
Okay, I'll stop with the anecdotal evidence now. How about, this place is CLEANER than New York City. How many folks swim in the Hudson or the East River?.
Nobody is trying to have an Olympic event in the Hudson or the East River.
Stop playing telephone and ask someone who's been there - Rio is Fine; far cleaner than many other cities I've seen.
Maybe so, but that doesn't have anything to do with the fact that the lakes/rivers are so polluted that you shouldn't be having athletic competitions in them.
And I'm sure that when you were a teen you never did anything that would upset your parents when they weren't watching you. Be careful what you wish for. Your actions now may cause your kid to distrust you for the rest of his life.
At the very least, if I knew I was being watched while I drove the car, I would just have a friend come pick me up. If you decided to track my cell phone, the next time you did it I would just leave my phone at home. Done, now you can't track my habits, you don't know where I am, AND you can't reach me.
Just use the fingerprints of the criminals. Or clone the phone and brute-force the pin-code.
Or use all the rest of the logging taking place to see who they communicated with and when, and ignore the little data on the phone. A phone is just a computer. The problem is, politicians don't realise this.
After 24 hours of non-use, a passcode/password is REQUIRED to unlock the phone. TouchID won't do it after 24 hours. Also, touchID locks itself out after five failed fingerprint attempts. You need a passcode/password after that.
Touch ID stops working after 24 hours of not using it. After 24 hours you NEED the passcode to unlock the phone. Also, Touch ID requires a passcode after FIVE (5) failed Touch ID attempts.
The article states "If elected, presidential candidate Donald Trump plans to make Apple start 'building their damn computers and things in this country instead of other countries.'"
Nothing in the GPL forces you to contribute back changes. You can download GPL'd code, change it however you want, and use it on your own systems to your heart's desire, without having to contribute anything.
However, if you download GPL'd code, modify it, and distribute a binary, you must distribute your code changes under the GPL. If you don't want to do that, write your own damn code from scratch. None of this is forced upon you.
I enjoy my mobile apps very much when I'm forced to be offline. I don't see many people around here stating we should get rid of all locally-installed software on our desktops and just use web-based applications. What's the difference?
When offline (such as on an airplane), my mobile apps perform an infinite amount of times better than a mobile site. Just make your websites not suck on offline mobile devices. End of story.
That's a bit disingenuous. The motto of the "disruption" crowd is explicitly 'better to have your lawyers fight for dismissal than ask for permission', particularly when it comes to the structure of laws and regulations that have been put in place to protect incumbent business models from damage and exploitation.
"Superfish has completely disabled server side interactions (since January) on all Lenovo products so that the product is no longer active. This disables Superfish for all products in market. Lenovo stopped preloading the software in January. We will not preload this software in the future."
However, later in the post they state that the root CA will remain intact. The private key has already been extracted and cracked, so this leaves Lenovo users still open to a very easy MITM attack.
Bad analogy. Apple Pay was accepted everywhere NFC payments were accepted, no additional equipment required. Rite Aid had to turn off ALL NFC payments in order to block Apple Pay, blocking Google Wallet and contact-less credit card payments as well. Apple Pay works within the existing NFC payment system, just like Google Wallet.
The article makes no mention about quality of the songs. It also says it's not a new format, just a new way to package songs. Sounds like the same old crap quality we've been getting all along. I'd rather buy a vinyl, then feel entitled to pirate the digital version.
All I'm saying is... please keep things in perspective. You have legitimate points, but a government that is untrusted by its people (and by all accounts Americans don't trust any existing political party) cannot effect effective governance. In other words, you're asking your government to fail and then whining when they do. That's not very productive.
No, we're asking our representatives to actually represent the people, instead of the special interest. We're also asking that the government follow the constitution and the law, and to stop the illegal programs that break those laws.
I used Dwolla to fund my Mt. Gox account and vis-versa before the shutdown. At first you didn't need any ID, then you needed to upload a copy of your passport/driver's license and also something that verified your address (Bill). Then Dwolla itself started requiring my passport copy. Is there anything else really required?
Perhaps the usability of Siri causes people to use it for more bandwidth-hogging things, such as asking Siri for directions, which will open the 'Maps' application and load the map images.
Accounting is great, however it uses a few tricks that allow costs contributing to a product to be expensed when revenue is made. The most important thing is cash flows, because cash actually adds value to the firm.
The problem with your analysis is that it doesn't take into account the time value of money. A dollar today is worth more than a dollar in a year, simply because putting a dollar in the bank gives you more than a dollar in year. If the present value of the expected future benefits are greater than the present value of expected costs, as long as your cost of capital is correct the project WILL add value to the firm, regardless of how long it takes. this is called NPV analysis.
The payback period method on the other hand is not based on Economic theory, it doesnt take into account cash flows after the payback period, favors small projects and discriminates against large ones. There's no Economic method to calculate a proper payback period, and so the payback periods are arbitrary.
Many businesses have disregarded great projects that would have added value to the firm but simply had the wrong accept/reject criterion. Accounting methods are not quite appropriate here, since the main point of accounting is to match costs with revenues, and indeed the financial formulas to find a stock's price involve taking the accounting financial statements and working backwards to find the real cash flows again.
About perpetuity, imagine that buying the spectrum was equal to receiving a set number of dollarsfrom the government every year, let's say $1000/year forever. Assume a 6% cost of capital for the company. Now we can easily find out how much this is worth today. 1000/.06 = $16,666.67. (This is a limit simplified down, 1000/(1.06) + 1000/(1.06)^2 + 1000/(1.06)^3 +...)
That would be the cost you need to pay today to get a perpetual annuity of $1000, kind of like buying rights to the spectrum.
Are you still baffled? It's really just Economics backed with maths.

Why are people wearing headphones in all of these videos? It makes these videos look extremely unprofessional and unappealing to watch.

Fixed that for you.
The courts regularly rely on the official annotations to rule on cases, thereby making them a part of the law.

When is the last time you heard of China invading a foreign country without being asked by that country's government for help?
Mainland China (People's Republic of China) has one time zone and does not have daylight savings times. They don't switch their clocks, ever.

That link compares 5S, 5C, and 4S. Where are you seeing a 5 and 5C comparison? AC was correct when (s)he said "The 5C has innards identical to the 5."
Gasoline is one of the only goods in America that has sales tax factored into the sticker price.

Wow, ego much? Sony only cares if the firmware lets you pirate games.
OtherOS never let you pirate PS3 games and they removed that...
