This. Git is great if you want to maintain a full set of everything on every system - every copy is a full backup. If you want to do selective work, then svn checkout of particular branches is the way to go.
It's for those where the 4S and 5 models are not available because of LTE band issues. The new models have a much wider range of radio frequencies that they can use. This means that China Mobile and others can now sell the phone where the 4S and 5 simply wouldn't work at all.
According to the presentation, the A7 is (a) 64-bit, (b) about twice as fast as the previous iPhone 5's A6 chip, and (c) has double the transistors, which I read as a significant die shrink (~25%). And offloading sensor tracking to a co-processor (the new M7 chip) frees up additional CPU cycles for other things.
Rule #1 for radioactive substances: don't lose any. If you're going to build a system to contain radioactive material, it should include monitoring so that you know if any goes missing. Losing 200 tonnes of radioactive material is not a "cost of business" or "within acceptable error rates". The error rate on this stuff should be 0 for a reason.
If you mistype a URL, more than likely you will get a search result anyway, thanks to your "helpful" ISP, who detects bad DNS addresses and sends down a search page complete with advertising and affiliate links. The only time I see a connection error any more is for a valid site that is really down. I hate when ISPs mess with DNS to enhance their revenue.
It's not such a great idea to remove personal accountability.
You get cancer, it's your responsibility. Can't pay the bills? Then don't get cancer.
You get crippled by a drunk driver who speeds off and is never caught? It's your responsibility. Can't pay the bills? Then don't get hit by a drunk driver.
Leg blown off in a terrorist attack? It's your responsibility. Can't pay the bills? Then don't go to spots that terrorists want to blow up.
Oh, that happened to you? So sorry, here's a bailout because you had personal accountability. Enjoy your long life!
I love the "personal accountability" line. It's simply a nice way of saying "not my problem - fuck you".
Another way to look at it: when you buy insurance, you decide how much coverage you want to have, vs. how much you want to pay in premiums. Some plans have higher lifetime limits and higher premiums; some have lower lifetime limits and lower premiums.
And my workplace refuses to offer the better plans, so unless I want to cover the entire cost of my insurance I have to use the one they provide. Oh, and if I don't want the insurance my employer provides, do I get to use the employer insurance contribution on my own plan? Hells no.
So, yeah, if you are independently wealthy and don't need to buy a subsidized plan, you're all set. If you're not, you don't have a real choice - just a selection of bad alternatives.
"Parallel construction" is apparently the technical term for laundering the fruit of the poisonous tree. If the way the original tip was gathered was illegal, then ALL subsequent evidence gathered is inadmissible. Period. By laundering the source of the investigation (to hide the illegal tip), the FBI, DA's office, local and state cops are all committing both perjury and possible contempt of court.
Good luck getting the judges to do anything about it though. The only way this will be stopped is if the FBI is sued by a drug dealer or trafficker. And they have a GREAT history of winning in court.
Didn't you get the memo that legal is really just something you have to work around?
The FISA court can neither confirm nor deny the existence of such a memo, nor the contents of any such memo even if it existed. So, here's a selection of 100% black redacted pages that may or may not have anything to do with said memo.
I love hearing cases where the law makes no sense. A 16-year-old and his 16-year-old girlfriend have sex. Statutory rape charges are brought against the boyfriend, but are dismissed because the laws state that you have to be 18 to be charged. The girlfriend records it on her phone, and send a copy to the boyfriend. She gets charged with production of child porn, and he gets charged with having it. Welcome to the new world order.
Actually, you could argue in a court of law that because the original site was not set up by the FBI that the entire operation fell under an "undercover investigation" status, even after the site was compromised. The FBI even had a fairly clean defense against charges of entrapment as well, because they didn't create the site in the first place, and shut it down shortly after acquiring control.
In this case, if looks like the FBI did a similar play - hack an existing site that is used for illegal activity, gather evidence for a short period of time, shut it down and arrest the owners.
What's probably got everyone rankled this time is a combination of (a) misbelief that Tor is unhackable, (b) use of cracking techniques in the furtherance of an FBI investigation (which they do all the time legally btw), and (c) all the news lately about joint NSA/FBI programs to record everything everyone does which is clearly on the wrong side of both liberties and any sense of reasonableness (even if "legal").
Wow, people don't read. Tor was not infected. One particular hosting provider was infected for a short while (in order to gather evidence), and then was taken down and the owner arrested. I would expect that Silk Road is probably under the same kind of attack right now and has been for quite some time.
All these "illegal" acts by a government are only "illegal" within that country. If they target another country, or a citizen of another country, that's called "espionage" and all fallout is handled by the State Department/Foreign Affairs Office or by military action.
Oh, and the punishment for "illegal" acts for the elite (read: government employees and/or corporate executives) is now officially a wrist-slap in a press release, and MAYBE a fine. MAYBE.
Oh, and make sure to say hi to all the nice men in Guantanamo Bay for me. Your door will be knocked down in 3...2...1...
Not entirely true. His father is an alumnus, and works there to boot. So he had reason and opportunity to be on campus anyway. That does not make him a student or faculty member, it does make him "legacy" according to most every college I've ever been associated with. These guys are usually given the benefit of the doubt.
Inaccuracies in the input most likely did cause most of the error.
is the exact logical opposite of
Eventually a difference between the calculations starting to build up because of differences in rounding between the different runs.
It's the differences in rounding based on the same input data that the paper is talking about. Not the inaccuracies in input data (testing for which would involve, by definition, different sets of input data varying by a known quantity). If the rounding was behaving the same, we would expect the same output given the same program and input. If a system produces different output every time its run with the same input, then we have a useless system as we cannot have any way of verifying that what is produced is correct. If you can't unit test the system, then you have a religion, not a scientific simulation.
They are technically correct. The best kind of correct. The FBI is the one doing the collection and passing on.
So, by statute the NSA is not allowed to spy on American citizens on American soil (since that's the FBI's job). But because of all the Intelligence-sharing laws that passed in the early and mid 2000s, that's been totally neutered. It's an offshoot of the outsourcing mindset - we're not allowed to do it, but we can ask someone else who IS allowed to and share the results.
So is the box inside Microsoft that's scanning all Skype-pasted URLs after the fact actually the FBI's collection box? That's one filter that may be easy to implement - redirect all traffic from that box to a honeypot or/dev/null it.
Except Verizon would have to re-task corporate lawyers onto a years-long case that they have little chance of winning. It's much cheaper to simply do a database dump of the billing system every day and send it along. And the shareholders prefer cheaper when dealing with anything.

They were in line last week, at least in NYC. Gotta love people with (a) lots of money, and (b) no life.

Ask Nicholas Merrill about that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Merrill . If he can do it, so can Verizon.
Except Verizon would have to re-task corporate lawyers onto a years-long case that they have little chance of winning. It's much cheaper to simply do a database dump of the billing system every day and send it along. And the shareholders prefer cheaper when dealing with anything.
I don't think IQ goes into the negatives.
No, the IQ SCALE doesn't go into the negatives. People's actual intelligence, sadly, does.
