People seem to forget, the internet RUNS on advertising money. It's what pay's the "real" bills for servers, staff & redbull's.
People used to have their own web sites about their hobbies and interests.. they used to actually participate until mass media came along and turned the network into a TV set. It was standard practice to offer users personal home pages when they signed up for Internet service.
IMO, if ads stopped across all internet sites, or the online advertising industry completely collapsed. The internet as we know it, would be gone.
You are incorrect. The camera's were conceived as an FHWA program for specific intersections to reduce fatalities.
Who cares why it originally started? What's this got to do with reality?
Had these cameras remained as ONLY a safety device they would have continued to work. We've still got the problem that red light fatalities are increasing nearly exponentially and we're going to have to deal with it.
Exponential? Quacks like bullshit to me.
All material I've been able to find from those on both sides of red light camera argument universally show *decline* in intersection deaths whether there are red light cameras present or not. Even IIHS paper which is firmly pro RLC posts declines in areas where no red light cameras are present.
Still, red light cameras do serve a safety purpose. While increasing the number of accidents, they do decrease the fatality of accidents. Translating 40mph tbone collisions into 20mph rear end collisions.
Yes it does. Any toleration of law breaking undermines the order of society.
Order of society flows from legitimacy rather than enforcement of law. While related the capability to enforce law is directly dependent on ability to obtain legitimacy.
Loss of legitimacy undermines the order of society. Unenforceable law erodes legitimacy.
Tolerance of law breaking is an important safety valve.
See the feedback loop?
If you need convincing you need only look into history of prohibition and war on drugs to see what happens when legitimacy is eroded.
Realities of environment in which people live matters. In extreme circumstance if enough people are desperate enough even normally universally agreeable rules against stealing can temporarily fall into the realm of unenforceable where the peoples only perceived choice is steal or starve/die. This is why governance is difficult and why zero tolerance is reserved for North Koreans, decapitated dictators and hypothetical alien overlords.
That's because of people speeding. The faster you drive, the less time you have to react to the light changing or the driver in front of you stopping. In fact, the time you are given to react can even be negative if you drive too fast.
Failure to maintain proper following distance causes rear end collisions.
Without people speeding as they approach traffic lights, there will be far fewer rear end collisions and far fewer red light infractions.
Nobody is fooled by the name "red light camera" . The entire point of these things have always been generation of revenue by ticketing people for rolling right turns. They serve no credible public safety interest of any kind.
Listening to Putins own remarks he has already lost. When your strategy is invoking same tired logic Israeli's use with no success to deflect responsibility for inflicting civilian causalities nobody who matters cares.
Bzzzzt! Sorry, you lose. As I have already said, this is not a LibreSSL problem - it's a Linux PRNG problem. Unless I am mistaken, the same issue is non-existent under OpenBSD, because it's PRNG is different from Linux, better seeded
Incorrect. OpenSSL manages its own entropy pool and retrieves entropy from operating system as necessary on Linux and most UNIX systems by reading from/dev/urandom.
and because PIDs are randomized under that OS.
Who cares if PIDs are sequential or random? Chance of same sequence of events remains with either scenario.
More amusingly reuse happens quicker with random algorithm than a sequential one as the sequence needs to wrap around first.
As opposed to the magnificent job OpenSSL has done all these years, with information leakage, bug reports that went uncorrected for years and accumulated cruft for such modern OS as VMS, DOS and Windows 3.1?
I think you need to tone down the hysteria a notch right here.
Two wrongs don't make a right. Whatever shortcomings the OpenSSL project has does not excuse shortcomings in LibreSSL.
In August of last year when visiting France I went to a restraint called II Giardino at least that's what my friends tell me. I don't remember anything about the event as my few remaining functioning brain cells were thoroughly scrambled after being in a "self-induced" comma for 3 months as I recovered from food poisoning and extreme despair brought about by poor judgment and lack of common sense.
Don't let this happen to you. Stay away from II Giardino and stay (or get) the hades out of France as quickly as you possibly can.
Guess you have not been paying attention, chromebooks are here and occupying all the top slots and rating on Amazon, making a killing in schools, and have a slew of new models out now, and not have Android compatibility...you know the OS that put iOS and windows in the ground
CEO of sage writes a one-sided pro-industry article about a dream standing to benefit his companies bottom line.... who cares?
Would prefer a piece from @Dunkin_CEO detailing how 90% of the world is projected to be addicted to gooey confections by 2020.
All those running around proclaiming demise of cash would constitute some kind of death knell to illicit industries must have been hooked up with some great shit.
The summary does state '0.035 percent of the visual light'... it'll do a good job on IF/UV too I'm sure given it's based on trapping photons bouncing around within tunnels so they can't escape, though probably not as low a percentage.
While it might do a good job at absorbing it must still emit blackbody photons.
The observable universe is observable because there has been time for the light to travel that far, which can not exceed the age of the universe. Therefor, if the universe is 14 billion years old, then the furthest we could see in any direction is only 14 billion light years, giving a maximum, diameter of 28 billion light years. So why does the summary say it's 46 billion L.Y. across and only 14 billion Y. old?
The universe is expanding all while light is in transit to our bug-eyed telescopes.
Whenever we take hard drives out of service we run a secure wipe if we are able to so they can be handed down.
There seem to be a few utilities in the app store to securely wipe storage however would have been really nice if this was an option user is presented with when wiping their device.
I personally wouldn't store anything worth protecting on a mobile phone (including device encryption keys) I don't trust myself not to screw it up... any passible security measure (linked to device key chain) would be way too cumbersome and annoying to have to constantly deal with at unlock screen.
More importantly I simply don't trust android. Why is the keychain used to store VPN credentials yet email, accounts, browsers, etc all store passwords in the clear when facility to punt responsibility to keychain is right there? Seems to be either incompetence or intentional action either way result is the same -- I don't trust android for anything.
Im a little disappointed in these comments! I dont see anyone complaining that a utility is even spending money on this sorta thing, much less a publicly owned utility....did I miss the part where we started enjoying abuses from the mono/duopolies to which we are all conscripted??
I hear you but I'm still working through my blind hatred of reputation management firms.
"We hired a PR firm to make us look better." That's not a crime. It's not even morally wrong, unless the means chosen was fraud or the like.
To me this sounds too much like asking police to racially profile someone without racially profiling them for comfort.
I would love to hear how a PR firm makes companies look better online without lying and misleading.
Do they make blog posts saying how great the company is and include the fact they are working for a PR firm and being paid by company to produce content on their behalf? Or just leave that part out? Any examples of how it can work in a way that is not "morally wrong"?
Everyone who runs sites where users can post comments should add language to terms of service forbidding using your service to spread paid propaganda.
Adding a dialogue asking if you are operating on behalf of a reputation firm would be even better because then they become guilty of circumventing an access control when they lie to gain access.
Using insane corporate laws against corporations = priceless.
This is why I have a tendency to dislike "skeptics".. from my experience they too often tend to commit same errors in reasoning as their opposition. Only by virtue of operating from a safer default position do they end up being on the right side of objective reality.
How does one ramble on about lack of data driving a position and concurrently while admitting ignorance and having no data yourself go on to commit the very same error?
If you want to point out news articles on the effectiveness of Iron dome are misleading public by invoking implicit assumptions not actually made...this would have been great if only you just stopped there.
Third, the amount of code that has been cleaned up, improved, deleted and just plain scrubbed is simply amazing. You can say whatever you want about OpenBSD cranky devs, they know their stuff and they know their way around C code.
Nothing structural has changed.
Heartbleed didn't arise from confusing seas of preprocessor macros or broken allocators we've been hearing so much about. It was allowed to happen because there were no structures in place mandating early data validation up front.
