You're basically arguing with step 2 because you think step 3 is more important. Your only point is that you didn't understand what I said. Backups are a separate thing, yes I agree that also is important, and it also could have saved him. But if he followed all the best practices, he would not have been restoring a backup, he'd have just checked out his code again.
Thai Buddhism has no gods. Basically all Buddhists have no gods.
They simply accept that there are gods, but they don't pray to them.
Closer, but still off.
Buddhism has no Gods. Buddhists often do have Gods. Buddhism asserts plainly that it does not address issues relating to Gods other than to teach you that if you have attachment to Gods, you will likely suffer for it. Metaphysical belief in Gods is seen as neutral and subjective; it is the attachment, the idea that belief in Gods is important which they reject.
You make no point about Rama IX having formed Thailand. His rule started a decade after the modern Thai state is considered to have been formed, so you can't claim he founded it. Therefore, you'd have to say something with meaning. If it existed because he willed it, because he was King, that passes to the new King instantly, there is no action involved. There is not a historically reasonable argument that exists in normal history books that places that sort of credit with Rama IX; he's widely credited with doing good deeds and winning the love of the people, he's widely seen as a King who managed the legacy wealth of the royal family for the cultural benefit of the people, similar to how Queen Elizabeth II is viewed. After military coups it was widely regarded that the King could make a public statement encouraging new elections, and the military would then do it. So he can certainly be given credit for specific acts to maintain the Thai state, but maintaining it implies it existed on its own already. And indeed, he was able to become King of Thailand when his brother died precisely because the country existed. You'd need a real point, supported by actual words, not just a passing claim that is unsupported, because your claim contradicts all of the common perspectives on his rule; even the perspectives that get their metaphysics directly from the monarchy would have a hard time with your claims.
No, you're picking out a city as a proxy for a county so that your point looks better. That is clearly a word game.
Try it again but only use the names of countries, and you'll at least be responding to what I said.
Not only is it just word games, it is really weak word games.
Like, did you really not know that the phrase "Eastern Europe" with the word Eastern capitalized is referring to a know group of countries, and that you could look that list up on the internet? Historically they were mostly defined by their allegiance to Russia, so it would be pretty obvious that Russia is therefore not on that list.
Proper names are already defined, your personal opinion of what the list should be is not relevant.
Right. But, there was enough information in my post to tell you that I already have read maps. And so knowing what you know now that you've considered the map, you can go back and read my words and understand them this time. Well, you at least have some chance to.
There is a very obvious meaning of my words that doesn't require you to assume mistakes. When you assume mistakes just to make it match up with your own thinking you guarantee you won't comprehend words other people say.
And then you make a really weird side trip about linux and heartbleed and tarot cards. You're talking about fucking tarot cards, no I'm not going to take you seriously. Especially when there is a complete lack of ideas, just raw blathering that doesn't add up to any technical points at all, just mealy-mouthed, wish-washy weasel words and FUD.
There may well be some 3rd World deaths from severe allergy that never get characterized. It would be hard to know.
Horseshit. Knowing how many is hard, knowing if there are any only requires knowing the risk and if you're tracking it or it. If you know that some percent of the population has the risk, and you know that it would not be counted, then you already know it is happening.
You're obviously not being intellectually honest, and you have some hidden bias that is actually responsible for your asserted conclusions.
As far as the part at the end, the difference is that these school districts have employees who habitually consume research data, and so they know the actual risks and death rates. All you know is your [political] conclusions. You start from your conclusion, and then you make up random fake-facts that you purport as supporting your conclusion. But that process is really moronic.
They're claiming that regenerative braking would be active all the time, as if that is the default state. The default state is actually coasting. Obviously. Putting power back into the battery is complicated, and requires that the controller be connected, and have passed its startup self-tests, etc.
It is the same switches that let electricity flow into the motor for the car to move that also let it flow back the other way, and they have to be switched in a special way to boost the voltage because otherwise the motor voltage will be lower than the battery voltage and no charging/braking even happens.
Improperly charging shortens life, and tracking is good so that the computer can detect when the battery is starting to fail, but those are totally separate things. You don't charge differently as the battery ages. I read the datasheets before I design my circuits, and all the charger ICs are the same on that point, as are the from-scratch engineering guides.
Generally the charge cycle count is stored in the battery pack where it available.
I think the dealer fed him a bunch of bullshit trying to get him to just buy a different car, and he took it all at face value and this is the tale of woe that happens to you if you're credulous. Everybody is full of shit, believe that until you understand the entire datasheet. Always.
More intelligent people use accident statistics to predict how often a car will crash.
Toyotas are very safe.
It is a fact.
You're actually afraid to cross the street at certain times, because some programmer looked at other programmer's code and said something bad about it? LOL real programmers have to be able to survive that one, because everybody's code is ugly; just show it somebody else and ask!
Because they're a fake engineer in a fake story where most of the details are just something somebody said. Worse, if the charger couldn't read the voltage, it would still explode the battery even when it remembered how long it ran the last time. Battery charging is never open-loop!
Burma doesn't import many cars from Thailand because Thais already run them forever until they can't fix them anymore and there isn't a significant downmarket. It would just add another middleman. Instead, Burma and Thailand are importing the same used cars from Japan, with the newer ones going to Thailand.
Also, they don't get along that great and there isn't a huge amount of casual trade.
They should have known they were part of a fake story when somebody told them that hybrid cars somehow "keep track" of the state of charge when charging but can't simply test the voltage to know the state of charge any other time, and would somehow overcharge and explode if they disconnected it to replace parts.
I suspect the timeline is a bit off and the hacker who saved them was also telling them where to get info on the car. Probably also helped them out by calling the dealer for them. And crows?! This is just bad fiction.
Heck, I didn't even invest the time yet to see what it is. I guess because I don't view ads, that's why I didn't know about it?
[looks it up]
Shit, we had free solutions for this already in the 90s. Why do people even try new ones, didn't they ever get anything working?
That said, the data sharing you can't opt out of is only related to third party services. Services suck, use files, not services. And it appears to be open source. But there is no apparent need to fork, just don't use third party services. Duh.
The story is just clickbait horse shit. But even if it was true, it would be a non-story.
Play your word games in Russian, in English the place "Eastern Europe" does not include Moscow, which instead is in Russia. Which is mostly not even in Europe, but is certain not Eastern Europe. Is it in the east part of Europe? Probably, but eastern Europe and Eastern Europe have an important lexicographical difference that completely changes the meaning.
That's completely idiotic. The CIA is one of many foreign intelligence agencies, and the FBI is the primary generic federal law enforcement agency. They don't divide any duties at all between foreign/domestic. The FBI is the agency that investigates violations of US law all around the world. If you hack a bank in New York from Germany, it is the FBI that is coming for you. They really don't care about where you are, they have access to travel. It has to do with if the job is a law enforcement job, or not.
It was VirusBlokAda from Belarus that first identified it, with Brian Krebs giving the first public report in his blog. All Kaspersky did was say that it had to be a "nation-state actor," which is a "gee, really?" sort of non-informative blathering when there isn't any sort of profit angle involved.
I would take even the claim that he's an ex-employee with a grain of salt!
He could just as well be a guy they found at the homeless shelter and cleaned up to read a script.
I mean, wouldn't the sort of person who would be working at the NSA know that that employment is secret, and that nobody with two brain cells to rub together would believe you if you told them, because if it was true you wouldn't tell them.
If somebody who used to work there writes a book on their deathbed, maybe. If somebody is blowing the whistle on some serious crime, maybe. If somebody is just pointing a finger at legal stuff that the NSA does and claiming to have information about it, and also giving us that information, and the information is really vapid like calling a report "political," well I just don't believe it. If they arrest him, I'll believe it. But there is no law against lying about having been a secret agent, and that's why they don't arrest him.
Of course, that's all "if." I think the guy in question is just a private sector security researcher with un-named government contracting on his resume. If it is that guy, then he's just another random joe security guy who wasn't involved with the report and has no special information of any sort; which is why he made a statement.;)
For months trying to destroy this company in an attempt to validate their bogus claims of russian hacking.
Hell, I'm a Democrat and I was saying years ago that only an idiot would trust a Russian company for computer security, because their system of civics means there they don't have such a thing as private business. All business is subject to instant regulation by the federal government, with no recourse, and death for those who try to use the courts or elections to resist. A company run by honest Russians would not be able to provide honest service.
Of course, the neckbeards on slashdot just call you a troll if you say that stuff. But I'm on the same page as the professionals on this.
In that sort of existential argument, it passed to Rama X and now he's giving advice.
You're not interesting in Thai Buddhism, that's fine don't credit me with the beliefs though! The link you gave says that "no," Buddhists don't have Gods. But it also says that in Buddhism you can define words very very broadly so you can also make the answer to be "yes." But it is clear that for the meaning of "God" used by all the major religions, the answer is no.
The real problem with the link is that it is about a different religion than Thai Buddhism, which I tried to explain to you. That link talks about Mahayana Buddhism. Thai Buddhism is Theravada Buddhism. All the tantras and related deities in your link are part of Mahayana Buddhism, those are all based on later teachings that contradict what Gautama Buddha taught. It is not part of Thai Buddhism, those are not seen as Buddhist religious works. They diverted 1500 years ago, with the Theravada Buddhists following only the teachings believed to be from Gautama Buddha.
Links do no good if you don't read them. You just did a google search for a link that you thought would support your position, and didn't even spend enough time with the material to figure out what it says. It is not hard to understand; Mahayana teachings have as much relevance to Thai Buddhism as the New Testament has to Jews. And the difference is almost exactly the same!
You do know that if I wanted to renew my knowledge about if a particular stereo is connected to the CAN bus or not I could simply look at the wires on the back of the stereo and see what is plugged in... right? And that many of us already have this knowledge?
You don't know what your car has connected to what, and you have a example, so you think you know what is connected to what in all the cars. That is just a failed IQ test, not knowledge you could share with people. Sorry.
Yes, before you buy a car you should find out this stuff. No, it isn't the case that all the cars are the same and have shit connected together in a dangerous way.
Sure. Do both. But if you can't tell them apart and tell which one does which, you won't know what protection you even have, and won't be able to plan it well. He's not at the stage of getting a lot of it right and needing to cover the edge cases; he needs the basics, the "why version control" not just the security/safety checklist.

No, they're recommending which software not to use.
The police department often recommends not drinking and driving.
The weather service recommends wearing suitable clothing during a weather event.
The department of fish and game recommends keeping a tide table with you when fishing in salt water.
