The link explaining the law only talks about browsing data. Not e-mail messages. I researched this earlier in the year and could not find any mention of e-mail retention by GMail. But would like to know if it's true.
I live in FL and normally love DST. I've been told I'm an OG programmer, and I'm up late and sleep in. I don't care about the morning, and like it when it stays light later.
However, I don't see how FL being on AST all year will work? TV networks aren't going to devote a satellite/fiber feed just for Florida, and although it seems like stations *should* be able to timeshift easily, there's not often a process for this ("we now join our regularly scheduled programming, already in progress").
So, primetime will end at midnight, followed by local news? What about local sporting events that are covered by networks? Monday Night Football will end an hour later (locally)?
We need to focus on the real privacy issues. The US government is collecting our PII in areas where there *is* an expectation of privacy; on our own computers, telephones, and routers (see Snowden, et al). Allowing everyone to have access to the data from public roadways is better than only law enforcement (see The Transparent Society, David Brin). Even without LPR, that ship had sailed anyway (see toll transponders).
It seems to me that they did not control for the physicians who made the diagnoses (they got the diagnosis data from public record). There aren't that many urban areas in Canada. Perhaps doctors in these urban areas have a tendency to diagnose dementia. Or perhaps the doctors are just better in urban areas. Did I miss something?
For those with Androids, by default, WiFi access point known locations supersede GPS **Even when WiFi is turned off** (the asterisk-encapsulated part can be disabled, but it's pretty difficult, and it annoys you about it all the time when you do).
If the complaining taxi drivers are using auto manufacturer GPSes, then I guess that's not the problem. But if they are using Androids, it could be. And for Pokemon Go users, it certainly would be consistent.
I turn off this feature mostly because it's very annoying when I fly on an airline with WiFi (always). When I land, it shows me in Phoenix, Dallas, Atlanta, or wherever the hub of the airline is, even though I'm somewhere else.
This is a common problem when someone moves houses, or moves an access point from one place to another. It takes a long time for Google to update its database.
The prevailing wisdom seems to be that the ecosystem will not take a huge hit. I believe the quote was something like, "It will just be like Los Angeles is all the time". The best they could come up with was that it could allow some better predators to thrive, but they seemed pretty unsure.
However, I do agree that people tend to underestimate these sorts of impacts. More ethanol use == more dying people in Africa, for example. At least someone figured out before Bill Gates implemented his idea of using barges to steer hurricanes away from the SE and Caribbean that it would have apparently caused famine in the UK...
Dear FDA, Please consider the ecological side-affects. With mosquito repellent & decent medical care most humans can survive mosquito born illness, but birds and other bug-eaters will starve.
You left out mosquito repellent manufacturers and decent medical care providers.
There will be a fine, but I'll be surprised if it ends up being more than even $30M.
I think you're right. But basically what that means is that they will only be penalized for 1,875 of 57,000,000 calls. Sends a clear message: please violate this law -- you won't be penalized for 3/1000th of one percent of them.
It's very likely that the people with money to buy a Tesla make too much to qualify for the tax credit.
Everyone qualifies for the BEV tax credit. There is no income qualification other than that you've had to pay enough tax to be able to use the tax credit. So it's possible that you make too *little* to use the tax credit; not too much. I actually had to manufacture tax spend to make sure that I could use it. I paid my property taxes earlier than I would have so that it would be in the right tax year.
At 100mb/s (with nothing else using it) it would take 3 months to download the "100TB" that is said to have been downloaded. At 10mb/s it would take 30 months. (All approximate). This is end-to-end bandwidth, including all of the hops in between, like these proxies (for when they weren't sloppy).
Apparently you don't need to know math to become a Senator. Montana isn't big enough to save you "an hour" by going an extra 10mph end to end, let alone Bakken to Bozeman.

This impacts Drake equation and might shed light as to why we have not detected any other sentient life in the universe.
No, it does not impact the Drake equation at all. The drake equation is based on R* and f(p) which are the the "rate of star formation" and the "fraction of those stars that have planets" (from your link on wikipedia). Both of these numbers are not affected by this finding.
Reinforcing an already existing ban was to make sure foreign markets don't try to muscle in and sell direct.
The last minute change to the law was to change one word; the word that caused Massachusetts to lose the case against Tesla. This had nothing to do with foreign cars.
(Forgive me. The first image that came to mind when I read this story was the movie "Sleeper", when they were trying to clone the assassinated leader using his nose.)
Yes, I am shocked at the lack of quotes from "Sleeper" in here.
"I've seen him shoot a nose!" "Checking the [nose] cell structure!"
"... our detector" = "strong evidence of a negative we're trying to prove..."
It's interesting how one detector can be "strong evidence" that the NSA didn't do something in secret, I think.
The research had nothing to do with the NSA (the article about the research decided to bring them up). To me, the main objective of the study was to see if the widespread revocation of certificates in a short period of time was really warranted. IMO, it was not, and my opinion seems to be validated by this study.
It *is* possible to prove this sort of negative (I'm not saying they did). For example, if you wanted to prove that heartbleed was not used on a particular system, you could set up logging in advance. You could then extend that to multiple systems, and so on. My point is that you can't use the "you can't prove a negative" argument for things like this (and also that the NSA had nothing to do with this study).
Simple solution: they can see them in the showroom, and buy them online..
This is already Tesla's model. You can't buy a car at the showroom; only online. Each showroom has at least one Mac you can use however you want, and an employee will help you if you have any questions. But you can't pay there.
Seems impossible. This would have to be some peer-to-peer/mesh network model of traffic control. I hope they aren't really planning on using ground-based radar for this. It would require too much infrastructure.

Pretty much every credit card transaction in the world uses COBOL.
When I do expert witness work dealing with COBOL I am paid very well.
Old joke from the '80s: "Have you heard of the new 'object oriented COBOL'? It's called 'Add 1 to COBOL'"

Can someone point me to a reference that states that GMail keeps messages more than a month after deletion, as AC parent says?
Yes. Local news and sporting events, among other things.

I even RTFA and can't tell. This seems a remarkable accomplishment.

Oops...Didn't mean to AC that (new device). My IKWIATA humor doesn't work that way.
Right. That's 3. I didn't say they didn't have large populations.

Google collects WiFi location data via crowdsourcing (see https://www.cnet.com/news/goog...)
This is a common problem when someone moves houses, or moves an access point from one place to another. It takes a long time for Google to update its database.
There was a RadioLab podcast on this very subject about ten months ago: http://www.radiolab.org/story/...

And those China servers, through proxies, can get what sort of bandwidth to SPE?
I read here that they have a single IPv4 block.
At 100mb/s (with nothing else using it) it would take 3 months to download the "100TB" that is said to have been downloaded. At 10mb/s it would take 30 months. (All approximate). This is end-to-end bandwidth, including all of the hops in between, like these proxies (for when they weren't sloppy).

Strictly speaking, he was not asymptomatic when he took the subway rides. He was not yet febrile, but "felt run down".
