unless you *love* engine noise and gear changes, that is

but I am just into that. there are few sounds that I enjoy more than that of a big V8 or V12 engine

That said, if you arent into that, I can totally see the appeal of the quiet of the leaf (though I cant get past the looks.. sorry, but that is one ugly ugly car)

A lot of people in embedded are still bit twiddling on an AVR. :-) Or a smaller ARM uCU like in the mbed board.

I just, like many others, wish someone would actually fucking *elaborate* on *concrete* *technical* hurdles of HTML5. We are not denying there are none, but just saying "you are clueless if you need to ask" is not going to help your position. We don't want to argue with you but we want you to actually explain yourselves. Gee, this thread is so frustrating.

I completely agree that the mail archives UI is awful. Mailman2 archives could use many improvements (nicer thread browsing including cross-month threads, _optional_ threads collapsing, web-form replies, fulltext search, ...) but I don't really follow the direction in which HyperKitty is going - views like https://lists.stg.fedoraprojec... are a complete mess; having a one-mail per line concise view had great value...

It's still beta, I'm not hopeless; I think HyperKitty could be made much more usable by a few simple UI tweaks (and hopefully things like comment voting are optional). Perhaps we will get / can make a "classic theme". :-)

Honestly, one of the great things about comixology was being able to quickly buy/download the next comic in the series when I was binge-reading. I have *hundreds* of comics through them, but I'm not sure if I will be buying any more with this new system. The kindle thing was enough of a pain, but at least a book takes a little longer to read.

I think they've shot themselves in teh foot on this one.

"Very well known?" This is very much *not* the way how for example many security bugs in linux distributions are handled (http://oss-security.openwall.org/wiki/mailing-lists/distros). Gradual disclosure along a well-defined timeline limits damage of exposure to blackhats and at the same time allows enough reaction time to prepare and push updates to the user. So typically, once the software vendor has fixed the issue, they would notify distributions, which would be given some time to prepare and test an updated package, then the update is pushed to users at a final disclosure date.

For a bug of such severity, I'd agree that the embargo time of 7-14 days used by distros@ is way too long. But a 12-24 hour advance announcement would be quite reasonable. Large website operations typically may have suitable staffing to be able to bring a specific update for a critical bug (similar in potential damages to a service outage) online within 6-12 hours, so a next step would be passing the information from distributions to these users (e.g. via a support contract with distros@-subscribed vendor).

In this timeframe, you have a good chance to prepare updated packages for major archs and do an emergency rollout. At the same time, even if there is a leak, the leak needs to propagate to skilled blackhat developers, they need to develop an exploit and this exploit needs to get propagated to people who would deploy it in the remaining time frame.

Interestingly, I once ate McDonalds every day for a year and a half and suffered no adverse/ill effects (I was - and am - quite healthy, in fact).

Plural of anecdote is not data, blah blah blah.

I *think* it might be feasible to exploit your web browser to steal cookies or saved credentials if you connect to a rogue https site. Credentials are always nice for spamming. If you convince people to keep you open in another tab, you might get lucky and snoop some credit card numbers or banking credentials too. A regular person should fear mainly automated attacks like this.

(Please do prove me wrong if I didn't get the attack potential here right.)

You're part of an angry mob. I can almost hear the "rabble rabble rabble." Hate is ugly man and trying to pick some random person to vent your frustrations on is not cool. The Obama example is just to point out that your selection of targets is arbitrary.

I get that you're mad, but it makes you really ugly inside. Tolerance is live and let live. What you spout is just another kind of hate. I know your justification, I hear it all the time, but ever notice that all the people saying it are haters? Are you just another hater? Hate everyone for not agreeing with you so you can feel superior? Another guy in the mob too scared to think for yourself?

Because that's what I'm seeing and I'd really like to see that change.

For one, you need an FTP _server_ to exchange files (or your desktops need to be always-on, with public IP addresses). The same with rsync or ssh. I have one and I'm fine without these cloud services, but the point here is that people don't have to set up their own.

(A service that would allow an end-user to easily roll their own VPS or buy preconfigured RPi/whatever with pre-configured mail server, webmail client, file sharing etc. would be awesome. Some are in the works, none are ready yet. Which is why cloud services matter for users.)

> And then for no damn reason at all, you bring Obama into it.

Has everyone forgotten 2008 already? I'll just leave this here.

Hard to see indeed, but warnings can be overlooked/ignored. C.f. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H... from 2005. It flew for another hour after most everyone fell unconscious before it crashed into a mountain.

Those people live(d) different lifestyles "appropriate" for their wealth. Their residence, for example, was somewhat different than a suburb house that's essentially trivial to break into. Also, the Bitcoin business is a little richer on violent criminals than IT.

Wow, that's awesome! But doesn't cosmology involve a lot of mathematics, actually quite crazy stuff? How did she get through that?

Reference needed wrt. "many who suffer from dyscalculia excel at higher math". Not understanding basic numbers and algebra like fractions means that you simply never have much chance to progress to anything higher and interesting. Especially if your first few teachers are incompetent. And without the technical skill and gained routine, it's quite difficult to acquire intuition about how many pieces of higher math work.

Also, algebra is important for many other areas of science - biology, chemisty, any lab work; mixing solutions, configuring equipment, basic statistics, ... Discalculia means you have big trouble distinguishing between 10 and 100 or comparing 0.32 and 0.23 - you can't (at least easily) build an intuition for it and you have to always fall back to high-level reasoning and logic to work through it. It's possible to make a carreer in natural sciences with discalculia, but it requires huge motivation and effort.

(I have been intensely teaching someone with discalculia for some time. It's one of the disabilities that's difficult to appreciate without experience.)
