Not very usefull. Part of the issue is, they send a stream, and detect a stream, but the actual results depend on both sendinder and detector choices. Only if they are aligned do they get a definite signal, if not, its probalistic.
So your data can't match their data, because you don't know what they are measuring on each measurement. Any one of them could be bunk for you or bunk for them, and you wont know which is which, or what measurement they got when you got it wrong and they didn't.
Then we will just get more and more fines more aimed at boosting police department funding than anything related to safety. Which, is already what we have with the fine structure we have now.
Well how else would you implement it when nobody is transmitting the data you need in most places, and, I would bet, is even resistent to doing it. As far as I can tell, most towns take steps to make this very prediction harder than it needs to be.
The article is wrong about this being "for impatient drivers", its for distracted drivers, to help them stop being total douchebags who sit at the green light.
People are already ignoring the light cycle. People are already deciding the red light is time to mess with their phone, fuck with the radio, eat a sandwich, etc. None of this is so bad, and many people even have no issue still paying attention.
However, some people, enough of the time, just fucking sit there. I don't care if this encourages people to pay less attention at the moment they rightly identified doesn't require much. I just want them to wake up on time and start moving.
If this demonstrates that this is a good thing and not a bad one, then maybe the data sources needed to do it more widely will open up. (dare to dream)
Not really. Either way I am getting what i want right? I have no qualms about paying them for the public release. Sure, I would prefer they do it for ideological reasons but, everybody needs to eat and operational costs can be real, never mind the time they put in.
I mean, why would I make such a specific assumption without any suggestion that its what they would do; esp when they say explicitly its something they wont do, even if the winning bidder asks them to, right in their FAQ, leaving the task of any release to the winner himself quite explicitly.
Plus, if you read the stratfor leaks, you would know the intelligence community has evaluated ideologues under the heading "Patriot": "A source who is betraying his country for ideological, religious, patriotic or other unreliable beliefs. Very dangerous person. He could change his mind."
So, overall, I guess you would say, I hope they are ideologues because they might change their mind and release the info anyway. However, I doubt they are, as even if they think they are, if its real, they have to know this they struck gold and that has a tendency to change motivations.
In fact, the only things I hope are not true: 1. I hope this isn't fake. 2. I hope the NSA or some other secret group doesn't win. and 3. If 1 pans out, and 2 doesn't, I hope this group is ideological enough to change their mind and release anyway.
Good news is, if it is real, it only takes one member to decide to change his mind later.... dare to dream....
Do you even have a point? Yes, there is some reason to doubt this one. However, its well crafted if its fake. Well crafted enough to be worth a hell of a lot more than your bridge proposal.
Even if there was only a small chance of it being true, it would still be a better chance than there is now of the enemies of freedom having their tools leaked, so I will take a small chance over none.

Well...just look at the current culture of web browsing and you have your answer. All you really need is a lack of sexual taboo and no awareness of sexually transmitted disease; which is pretty much the case for most web users and what their browsers do.
A man ejaculating in your ass _is_ leaving executable code behind. No different from when your browser blindly loads scripts from any site pointed to. All a virus is, biologically, is a form of automated root kit.
It really is a perfect analogy for every day pc use.
Once again proven that browsing the web is like going to a diner party in a world where the handshake has been replaced with unprotected anal sex.
Sure, many people you meet may be offended when you insist on a condom (plugins like requestpolicy, and noscript) and say its some right of theirs to not let you sit at their table because of it, or rant on about how they need to get paid....
but at the end of the day.... its basic security. Loading and running code from random third party sites is not safe. It doesn't matter if its inside a restricted environment, its a risk. Its a risk website owners are in the habbit of irresponsibly magnifying for all of their viewers without a second thought
> Any other adult? Or just one of the sex you tend to prefer to sleep with?
Should try going camping in the mountains in spring time and forget enough blankets. I lucked out and someone else couldn't find their tent (arrived late, someone else had set it up, kind of funny really) and bunked in mine.
Was not someone I would ever want to have sex with, but let me tell you we spent about 6 hours hanging on to eachother for what seemed like dear life. Seemed like every 20 minutes the night got colder.
Not sure it was a life threatening cold, but, it was certainly a much bigger concern than whether I would want to stick my dick in the only source of heat I had. Hell, I would have brought more people in if I could (or, you know... some more blankets; I would totally have replaced the heat source with like two blankets or a well insulated sleeping bag)
Nah, I doubt its really them. More likely scenario is this is a solution looking for a problem and a government contract.
As a bonus, once they have tested it on wildfires, it can be used to suppress information gathering by non-approved entities elsewhere.
This is a sales pitch to despots everywhere.
"Your news organizations will buy commercial drones, with this, you can direct them away from whatever atrocity you want to hide"
Much like the sales of tools for mass surveillance are selling like hotcakes to despotic "allies" around the world, so will this. Sure, it wont stop a dedicated hobbiest who ignores it....but lets be honest.... most news orgs will buy off the shelf and compliant.
They will be most easily controlled around the globe if this sees widespread adoption.
I just opened the comments thinking, do I even want this "fix" on my car? If I lose MPG or power then; it aint no fix in my book. MPG and power were factors I considered when buying my car. I paid a lot of money based on the MPG and power the car had when I bought it. I have no interest in seeing either reduced.
> What I suspect is REALLY going on here is that John Deere and other manufacturers have adopted a model of selling their equipment to farmers either at a loss or at cost, with the understanding that they'll make their profit in implicit servicing contracts.
Is it a sale or a lease? If its a sale then fuck them. If its a lease, then maybe they should have said so up front....then not gotten the contract because the farmer didn't want a lease.
If its a lease, and it breaks down, I want a new one. IN fact, if its a lease, I want to trade it in for another one in a couple of years so I always have a fresh one. In addition to all this being spelled out up front and the word SALE never even having been uttered, unless it was "we don't offer" or "you could also...."
I am shocked its taken them so long. Cheesy, probably illegal, 3rd party knock offs sold in malls and flea markets have been doing this for at least a decade now....and cheaper. Nintendo is honestly coming to market with a knock off of the knock offs for 6+ times the price of what I saw people buying them for 10 years ago?
> But that's because they both copied from the M14.
I want to believe. This was my first thought too, but, in order to verify that, one more step is needed, find the real rail that looks like....I am not.
What strikes me is the little flourishes. Look at the front of the rail by the sight, it has a stamp in the metal that looks like some sort of mechanical reinforcement, or decoration. They are nearly identical, yet, in all the images of M14s and their rails/sights I just don't see some of these details.
It really looks like the game model was used as the reference, rather than a real gun.
Its optional.... I wouldn't give it to them and I hope nobody else would either.
This Fatherland Security expansionism needs a swift kick in the nuts. Its time to start rolling it back severely and sending these security theater jokers to the unemployment line where they belong.
Maybe if he pardons anyone, it should be the NSA. He should give Snowden a medal for his service to the people of this country and exposing the betrayal we have faced by the intelligence services that would build Stasi 2.0 right on our own soil.
You are not wrong. However there is a core trust in that agreement, and I feel microsoft really has broken that core trust.
Windows 10 is basically a surviellance malware, with built in phone-home that sends gobs and gobs of information back to its command and control nodes. These are some really fucking huge changes and far beyond the understanding of most users.
This is a blatant abuse of trust. Their company, deserves to be severely punished to the tune of billions as an example. TBH I feel like this sort of breach of trust should result in multiplied damages.
> Generally poor security practices make it easier
This. Something people don't get about hospitals.... they LOVE IT. They are IT adopters, big time. You don't hear about the tech they adopt, because they are too busy adopting it to tell you about it. They have one fucking goal: Healthcare, and they aim to meet it.
When I worked in tech support for a hospital, I took tickets for desktop PCs sitting at bench that used to be used to solder core memory.
Security was never their concern until very very late. Their concern was always getting the job done. Their concern was that they have all these patients and know all these things that they could make better if they just had more data, just had better storage, just had...
These guys are not just using new systems, they have a massive technological legacy that they can't just shut down. They are not monolithic institutions under strong CEOs, they are massive sprawling systems of department heads and decision makers, all with their own budgets, own staff, own priorities. Their systems exist in data centers....and under desks, in utility rooms, in ERs and ORs, all over the place.
Its a huge mess. Its a huge mess because of years and years of history.

When the paychecks stop coming.
Its very easy to ignore the truth when your salary requires it to not be taken into account.
Not very usefull. Part of the issue is, they send a stream, and detect a stream, but the actual results depend on both sendinder and detector choices. Only if they are aligned do they get a definite signal, if not, its probalistic.

"Fuchs's espionage likely led the U.S. to cancel a 1950 Anglo-American plan to give Britain American-made atomic bombs"
Sounds like it worked out ok. Can't think of a better plan to scuttle than warmongers sharing their toys.
Too bad the internet didn't exist so he couldn't have given this gift directly to the public.
Well how else would you implement it when nobody is transmitting the data you need in most places, and, I would bet, is even resistent to doing it. As far as I can tell, most towns take steps to make this very prediction harder than it needs to be.

You should protect yourself. Wear condoms unless you really know your partner. Get some here:

If you have a browser other than firefox, you will need something else, I don't know what they are but, bottom line...protect yourself.
