Re: Likewise ...

Technically the customer is right up until you"fire" them.

At which point they're not the customer.

Re: functionality

Android is due to be merged with chromos.

This will make it a desktop os.

And one that may offer the best of both worlds.

Local Android components when needed that seemlessly convert to much more powerful remote version when connectivity picks up.

This seemlessness might be the holy grail of the web os.

Re: Identification impossible?

in Japan its illegal to own a car you don't have a parking space for.

So uniquely for japan , YES there is an almost 100% chance you could identify every car owners address

Re: Disposable Camera

Am I an idiot in thinking you would just send say 200 of these into solar orbit at the SGL focal region.

and combine them as they orbit past the appropriate place pointing at the planet.

the orbit time would be huge but with enough satalites you would eventuty get a continuous stream of 3D data for a huge strip of the sky?

might we be able to detect exo planet we just cat see now?

in fact could we use it to photograph solar object on the other side of the sun?

Re: The problem

Or...There were a disproportionate larger amount off actual Neo Nazis in Washington Dc than your average Jew would expect to meet.

I am sure this wasnt directed at every right wing person there, but any right wing nutter who thinks this is directed at them has just effectivly self identified as Nazi.

Re: Autonomous driving is months, years, or decades away

This is what's holding everything back.

The human sla is extremely low.

The error factor on teslas sla is likely higher than that figure.

So to make autom deaths + error less than human deaths requires autom deaths to be unrecognisable from zero.

AP teslas are safe enough, its a statistics problem

"Only one problem: what you say about robots can be said about humans, too! It's a dilemma: you need a means to defend yourself, but what's to stop the means of defending yourself being used to usurp you instead?"

Re: Thie "dark matter" business is strange. I keep thinking of Occam's razor

isnt that too many black holes.

85% black holes?

You wouldn't be able to move for the buggers(in a very literal way)

Im an ocrams razor guy but i think the test-tube jugglers have missed somthing really obvious and its to do with the Lyman-alpha forest.

Re: Electricity vs Petrol/Diesel prices

That applies to smaller 30kWh batteries but this truck apparently has as much as 1000kWh

Basically it will consume any and all breaking energy tesla throws at it.

Re: Command-line password manager?

This is a variation Of what I do, except its simpler and done in my head.

To get my (for example)Bank password the need to.

A)get my bank hash and guesstimate an apparently random 11+ digit password.

B)

1.get at least two other sets off hashes, (they prob have my old yahoo and linked in )

2. guesstimate two different apparently random 11+ digit password,

3. take those two passwords and try and work out what my "internal algorithm"

4. Find my banking username and generate my bank password.

5. do this before my rolling password resets complete(About 2 years)

remember related but not the same is as far as hashing is concerned completely different.

The way I see it I trust NO-ONE with my hashes now and assume them all vulnerable to guestimating.

so if A) is "secure enough" for me then the B step 2 x B step 2 difficulty is secure enough for me.

Remeber you cant outrun the (fancy)bear, you just need to outrun the other internet users.

(eg your password just needs to be hard enough to take too long to guesstimate, and as your banking password only need to be twice as hard to crack just make it ONE digit longer)

Re: Good idea

Dont you mean a Vauxhaull chavelier.

Re: Workaround?

Thats your opinion....it may be based on fact....but it wrong.

Because data shows they don't end up where you say. Either statistically or actually.
