Animal rights people typically have a hugely negative attitude towards humans, yes. It's not hypocrisy, it's the opposite: consistency.

This is the exact sort of thing that I would to expect to come out of a big white building full of executive level upper management morons with big bank accounts.

I'll be damn surprised if there's not an on premise IT grunt at the White-house getting his pink slip right now.

In fact, where does one apply for the position? (asking for a friend)

What would stop someone from creating a malicious software and naming it APK Hosts File Engine 10++ 32/64-bit? I mean, different malicious software, because I am assuming your version of APK Hosts File Engine 10++ 32/64-bit is MALWARE. So why not just open source it, so we can see what it does?

Wow, I just came to the comment section to talk about using a disassembler on the trs-80 to beat games. Is that you capn K?

Man, that'd be fantastic if it wasn't happening!

I should warn you that Climatedepot is a website operated by Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow, which is a nonprofit organization that is primarily funded by Donors Trust, which is a conservative/libertarian donor-advised fund; a fancy legal term for a mechanism to hide the identity of the sources of money, which can include corporations. Still, it is known that one of the largest donors to Donors Trust in multiple previous years has been the Koch Brothers, who are _heavily_ invested in the fossil fuel energy industry. Now don't get me wrong, the Koch brothers are not total monsters who delight in human suffering and keeping the world ignorant so that they may continue to stay in power. They actually do some good things at times. But, they do have some ulterior motives and a heck of a lot of power that they do appear to use to further those motives. So you should be wary of those sort of sources. Unlike government-funded scientists, who's job is to investigate and report findings; this site's job is to make its donors happy. And it's donors are happy when people think that climate change is not a thing or that humans are powerless to influence it one way or the other.

Meanwhile, entities like NASA didn't particularly care about what results it got from investigating climate change. They were just told that they have to do something useful, and not just hang out and play golf on the moon, so they picked climate change, and they happened to get these results. And similar situations happened with other government entities both within the US and in other nations. People just wanting to learn how the world works, and finding that oh dear, perhaps taking all that sequestered carbon, that was pulled out of the atmosphere by plant life over the course of millions of years and burning all of it in a little over a century isn't exactly something that the balancing factors like plant-growth and ocean absorption can sufficiently handle to prevent earth from going back to how friggin' hot it was all those millions of years ago, when the atmospheric carbon levels were higher.

Unfortunately, 97% of scientists say quite strongly that human caused climate change is indeed real. This climate change is why we now have a Northwest passage for shipping during part of the year, and that season is growing every year. That clear pathway in the arctic hasn't been a thing going back at least as far as 5000 years. And this creates a chain reaction, because the white ice was quite good at reflecting sunlight, while the dark water and land is not. This causes more warming. It also causes the thawing of the permafrost, which causes a massive leap in preserved methane, produced from ancient broken down biomass (it's basically moss). And methane is demonstrably a far worse greenhouse gas than CO2.

I would urge you to try and get your proof of the existence or non-existence of climate change from less biased sources. Learn what research has been done, the justification for how they reached their conclusions, and then go back to the biased sites and scrutinize if their counter arguments hold up, or if they are possibly using sneaky logic and carefully represented data to make things look reasonable, so long as the information isn't scrutinized. Or if you're lazy, dis: https://xkcd.com/1732/ That said, if you happen to be a conspiracy theorist, that comic's author did briefly work for NASA so, um, maybe they "got to him" or something.

AVR, MSP and L106 (Tensilica/ESP8266) missing...

Especially for MSP, there seem to be a lot of products using it (Honeywell thermostats, Ikea lighting)...

Not in those trashy prequels which yes had a plot arc with hidden computers, but somewhere in Frank's works there is a single sentence that mentions they secretly used such machines for genetic forecasting. Also in Heretics of Dune the Ixians were making them.

The people who control Patreon, saw a gap in the internet market, that they felt they could parasitically exploit. The gap, take money from mug punters, grab a percentage and hand what's left to those who actually produce the content. Who are you to complain, those people who receive money should be thankful for the crumbs, as Patreon like all parasites are born and breed to suck it all down.

It's the modern corporate way, they all want a percentage of everything for nothing. Have money in bank, they take a percentage, pay to patreon credit company takes a percentage, patreon takes a percentage, user deposits it bank takes a percentage corporate taxes every where, what do they provide, economic weight lose, preventing you from suffering the burden of being too well off. Patreon == Parasites, it is who they are, it is their sole intent, to cut out that percentage as deeply as they can, more, More, MORE, UNLIMITED GREED.

>> claims that it can "uncarrier" TV the way it did with wireless service

It already did what now? Wireless still seems like a giant tripartate monopoly to me.

Probably also helpful when searching for vulnerabilities?

One of the big issues with decompilers is that compilers do not generate the same output for the same input. In addition, multiple versions of a compiler and different flags yield different results as well. After some thought, I've come to the conclusion that the only viable solution is to build a neural network that can detect and compensate for all the idiosyncrasy using many different test cases (and their binaries) as training data. Ultimately be able to return not only the most likely version of the source code but also the compiler name, version and flags used to compile it.

We have the technology to solve this seemingly impossible problem.

You need to read the article. Layer 3 is a small cable company that uses fiber to deliver video efficiently using internet protocols. They're buying Layer 3 for the streaming technology, not for the existing fiber plant. They're not going to start trying to lay fiber everywhere to compete with the cable companies, they're going to be the same wireless that they've always been.

Yeah, they will probably maintain what Layer 3 already has, but even then Comcast will have nothing to do with the service and none of the data will touch a Comcast network. Layer 3 uses its own fiber to the home and their own STB to provide their service. Comcast cannot throttle packets that don't cross its network.

Why wouldn't you just release it as open source? Is it because APK Hosts File Engine 10++ 32/64-bit contains MALWARE and VIRUSES?

But NBA, Comcast, Toyota, CBS, customer, health, Obama, etc. care!

That would be funnier if the Nazis hadn't based many of their policies on the American Progressive movement. The left wing loved Hitler.

Yeah, because that's exactly what we all had to do between 2007 and 2015. I'd suggest decaf.

Trump is all talk, but at the end of the day he will go along with whatever he gets told. He recently signed in a new regulation without removing any, going against his own Executive Order. He can safely ignored domestically for the next 3 years. Congress are the ones to watch.

>> Neither Fox nor CNN have any programs I'd personally watch. Both of them are straight up propaganda for the RNC and DNC respectively.

I feel the same way about MSNBC and WaPo. Talk about obvious left-wing agendas. Rachel Maddow is an especially bad joke. No actual news reporting at all, just radical blowhard opinions and braindead editorial commentary. She might as well be on The View.

The entire US media has become a joke and has totally lost all credibility. I wish the government would step in and do something to literally force the media to maintain professional standards of sticking to truly unbiased and fact-based news reporting, instead of regurgitating fabricated bullshit and opinion pieces. Clearly leaving it to self-regulation is no longer even close to a viable option.

I'm pretty sure Republicans would love to pass laws that punish mothers who do that to their kids, it's the democrats who would prevent it.

To discover the price you need active buying and selling, which you can't do if the transactions are slow.

I was thinking SPCA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., cough, cough, people are animals too. I wonder it they shoo away injured dogs, or have robots chase lost kittens, it's like seriously dude, check yourself, what the fuck. What you do, is guide them to the right organisations to provide them assistance, you do not treat them worse than stray dogs or cats. Only fucking America.

Yeah I've had the same experience. Former AT&T customer here who was basically driven to leave them and right into the waiting arms of T-Mobile. Customer service has been excellent so far and the signal is just as good as AT&T if not better. And it's far cheaper. AT&T can go pound sand. I've never going back to those clowns.

I think it's the Richard Branson model - find some industry with crappy service and make it better. He started out in the record industry and moved to the airline industry. He made a killing in both simply by providing superior customer service.

I'm not sure if this is going to work for T-Mobile in the TV business but if they come out with something I'll give it a try, based solely on the great service I have been getting from them so far.

They are also using it to train and practice for the times when lives depend on it.

No, you just have to use a system that doesn't obliterate existing uses of the radio spectrum, that is already recognized as a backup communications system when disaster strikes.

You clearly follow this stuff pretty closely. I've frankly not run into many people on the other side of the NN debate that seem to want to do much beyond swilling beer and extolling the virtues of "freedom" through increased governmental regulation. Though I suspect ultimately we're not going to see eye to eye on everything, I appreciate you taking the time to discuss. A couple of thoughts/questions:

Congress has had seven years, under two different administrations and under control of both parties (four of those years prior to Wheeler's NN rules), to legislatively change that. They didn't. IMO that facially makes "never intended" a bit thin. Do you have more specifics on why they took no action on this if it was so blazingly contrary to what they wanted?

Help me out with that. As I understand it, Pai is replacing Wheeler's set of regulations with another set of regulations. How is that not at a minimum equally restrictive as what existed pre-Wheeler? What holes is today's FCC actively trying to open?

I'm guessing you're not suggesting that the regulations in and of themselves will make the market inherently "healthy" again, since you're predicting Bad Things within a year of them being removed. And if you're talking about the market somehow improving itself over time through competitive behavior, there seems little opportunity for that when any new entrants would be forced to adopt exactly the same model as the incumbents. How do you see this coming about?

It's just using someone else's computer.

If it restores the regulations that were struck down, no, it only requires registration if it's flown, and the FAA has no jurisdiction indoors.

I don't see the specific language referring to this in what you linked, where does it say "do something"?

What could possible go wrong?

Your keyboard, or so it would appear.

The government should never use cloud services. They should by law be mandated to maintain, quite expensive hardened electronic data systems, backed up by manual, actual dead tree and pen and pencil systems. So that in the event of catastrophic failure which is inevitable, (major solar flare, impacts, extreme storm events, major geologic events et al). They can rebuild systems, this versus the idiotic lowest tenders, maximise this quarters profits, who gives a fuck what happens in a years time, so what if society suffers I have a bunker, moronic thinking. Oh look the orange orangutan likes cloud and his idiots council has been paid big time bribes so contract out to private for profit clouds. That way private corporations will control and access all government data for total control, well, right up until catastrophic failure and than a whole bunch of Americans die over years as the country slowly rebuilds. Stupid is as stupid does.

So he's not homeless any more - problem solved!

They'll just switch to very large bug zappers . . .

yet.
