A huge percentage of what's on Amazon is clearly drop shipped from AliExpress, and most of the rest of it was sourced from AliBaba. I buy the same shit from China directly for a third to two thirds of the Amazon price.
I do the same unless I need it faster and the price delta is small enough.
Since there is monetary value attached to the account, yes they are.
Those products are a significant percentage of its business, they basically took the street vendors and gave them a global marketplace. You no longer need to go to Asia to get a high quality counterfeit football jersey or shoddy electrical appliance. It's even easier for the vendor, get cutoff and open under a new name. No new storefront to find, no goods to mov or hide from spot checks when the government decides to 'crack down' due to pressure from manufacturers. The quality varies greatly depending on product category, the bolts, screws, random hardware to use in 3D printed stuff, screen protectors, yard flags etc. were all fine and a fraction of Amazon's cost from a reshipper.
Amazon's actions will be interesting because it seems pretty clear that some of the sellers are just drop shipping from the same sources in China and marking it up to cover Amazon's costs and shipping.
Z80 was also my first assembly language. Perhaps not super important for me, but it's nice to know the Z80 will continue to exist in some recognizable form.
IIRC, LANtastic cards (another relic of the past) had a Z-80 on them. It was socketed, no less.

Fixed that for you.
It didn't fucking matter because that case had nothing to do with the presidency.
I've always contended had he simply said "Yea, I got a blowjob in the Oval Office. You would have too if yo had the chance..." the whole thing would have blown over and never come up again. Nixon probably could have survived if he hadn't tried to cover up Watergate, served out his term and pardon the whole crew.
While Paramount claims they cancelled Colbert as a cost cutting move, that makes no sense since other late night shows on other networks with smaller audiences continue. They must make some sort of financial sense.
It is widely understood, though not provable, that the move was a bribe to Trump in order to get the merger approved. Trump has had a longstanding dislike of Colbert because of his commentary on Trump as a person and as the President.
When is a hard question. Rationally it should never have blown up this much in the first place (some expansion would be rational, but not like we've seen). Clearly the minds driving this are not rational.
Insanity is notoriously hard to predict. That's why short selling is so risky. The market can clearly remain irrational longer than most people can remain solvent when betting against it.
Should the police looked closer, sure, but I can also see why the made the error because the 34 DTM is in much larger font size.
Isn't the whole point of having human beings in the loop that they can deal with limited information and still draw correct conclusions?
If your entire behaviour is guided by that license plate number then your focus should be on getting your facts straight. Sure, confirmation bias is a thing, but especially police officers should be trained to beware of confirmation bias and so check and recheck before engaging in a stop that could endanger people.
I agree, and such as mistake could easily end wrong, as the officers pointed out. I am not excusing the mistake made by the police, but there are a few compounding errors that made this happen. First - no check if it is a valid tag number on entry. You'd think Flock would at least do that, as well has have some pattern recognition to pull up an error when the entered number does not match the expected sequence to flag it for review. Secondly, no check to see how often taht tag number pops up and where so if it gets a hit the same day a thousand miles away lag it for review. CA only allows stolen for missing tags. I don't know what info Flock provides, but giving make/model/color with the tag could also help prevent errors since the cops would realize the stolen tag matched the car using it; although depending on how manufacturer tags are used it may not have helped in this particular situation. This is the classic cascading failures that resulted in the outcome.
1) The cops in Minneapolis appear to have the reputation for being psychotic morons. Suspects are not always guilty, as shown in this case and Car theft is most often kids joy riding (75%). Yes, 25% of the time it is organized crime (to steal a car for anything more than a joy ride you need good connections to large organizations to either chop it up or ship it out of the country). It is totally unreasonable to draw a gun on people joy riding.
A pro also isn't going to HD with his wife. Thefts by pros disappear quickly because, well, they are pros and want to avoid getting caught.
2) The cops appear to be illiterate. The theft report said 34 DTM. While the flock cameras did not see it was 34 10 DTM, the cops SHOULD have seen the 34 10 DTM and realized something was off before they stopped the vehicle They should still have questioned them, but should have realized before hand that the license plate was not identical to the theft report and gone in more subtely.
The problem, as shown in TFA, is the 10 are 2 small numbers stacked vertically between the 34 and DTM, so they get overlooked. Should the police looked closer, sure, but I can also see why the made the error because the 34 DTM is in much larger font size.
3) Flock is incompetent and should be banned.
Yes, and should be legally liable for damages in cases like this. At. minimum, if there system catches 34 DTM in multiple areas at the same time, that's signs of a problem, and the art of pattern a computer should be good at detecting. The inability to report a tag as lost also means for this edge case it gets a stolen marker. You could tag it as lost and inform the tag owner not to reuse it if found, and if the correct number was entered if it shows up on a vehicle again mark it as stolen. That of course, would require work and changing a system.
Apple alleged that Liu failed to return a company-issued work laptop and later used an authentication bug to access Apple's internal network, downloading "dozens of Apple's confidential hardware-related files."
The iPhone maker also claimed that OpenAI’s hardware chief Tan had been "methodically using Apple’s confidential information to benefit OpenAI" before his departure by emailing himself information about Apple suppliers and internal industry summaries. Tan worked on the iPhone for most of his 24-year tenure at Apple, according to his LinkedIn page.
Apple alleged that Tan encouraged Apple employees to bring parts from Apple to job interviews at OpenAI for “show and tell” sessions, citing an incident in its filing where one OpenAI job candidate allegedly said that he “didn’t even know we could take those from the office.”
Seems Apple has what they may need from their own systems. Given Apple's penchant for secrecy, they should have known Apple could see what tehy did and use it against them and OpenAI. I would also not be surprised if some employees who interviewed but didn't leave Apple told the approbate people was OpenAI was asking or in interviews.
What I don't get if you're a long term Apple employee at a relatively senior level, why risk everything you've made in stock alone by doing something that risks losing everything or a big chunk of it in a settlement? OpenAI could through them under the bus to save the company if needed, after all.
How exactly do you determine a camera is on a major road or route from the internet? This sounds more conspiracy theory than reality when you look at the difficulty in correlating cameras with locations.
The difficulty would depend on what data the camera provides, analysis of traffic past the camera and available information about the locations of potential interest. A serious effort would be more than hacking cameras, it would include on the ground surveillance to collect information on route terrain, what identifying information cameras openly broadcast, correlating that with camera information and footage collected, etc. Government cameras such as traffic cameras might be a better target since they would likely be on areas of interest already and fewer to review.
Machine learning tools could make it somewhat easier to sort results into cameras of interest. Of course, it's a huge data set to go through if you want useful information. Depending on how many cameras you accessed you could just have people look at them and decide that way.
Is this some intelligence operation? Who knows. It's not cheap nor easy to get useful information, but something a state actor could certainly attempt to do if they want to dedicate the resources to it.
If it is possible to walk into cameras on NATO bases like that, honestly they deserve it. This shit should be locked behind seven layers of impossible.
Per TFA,it's civilian cameras on transit routes, so what it sounds like is they look for cameras along major roads and hack into them to follow shipments. It would not surprise me if they were trying to hack phones/watches/fitness bands or anything that can track individual then look at data to try to find the drivers by correlating the data with traffic data.
Oh, also I have a pair of Coofandy 'business' drawstring pants. They're absolutely fucking comfortable and fit well.
It is now pitch dark. If you proceed, you will likely fall into a pit.
