I'm serious. If you wanna be a bitch about what people identify themselves as, then go to 4chan with all the other idiots.

And? If it's the word they use to identify themselves you should respect that.

Well duh, if he actually had a life changing moment up there, he'd close up Amazon and use all his remainding life and resources to take down capitalism. That's the only way to protect the planet - stop consuming it to make trinkets that nobody fucking needs.

Instead, what we get is more reason to pretend that things are going in the right direction and we can just keep doing what we're doing cause it'll "all work out". I mean, I'm sure a lot of people are making the decision that buying from amazon is not so bad, it's basically helping the environment.

The tracking method doesn't use the phone's location service, it's done by triangulating the signal so a dumb phone won't help in any way.

That's a very subjective view. You say it needs to look like a car but just because that's what cars have looked like for 100 years, it doesn't need to remain the same.

However little it is, it adds up. That's how things are made to be efficient - by adding up lots of tiny improvements. It's very rare these days that by changing one little thing you will get huge improvements.

Obligatory "I live in Romania and I have a 1Gbit (up/down) connection for less than $15 a month.". And it really does work at those speeds. When I installed WoW it downloaded the client at 100MB/s, 19GB went so fast I thought I already had it installed previously.

The thing is 3g/4g connections while cheap still have data caps which sucks.

I don't get it, what attitude do they have with Low Earth Orbits?

It would be just as you say it should in a world of common sense. Bullying people with lawsuits and using the justice system to do your bidding should be punished harshly. Specifically, the people responsible for this should be punished, not the company (i.e. just slapping them with a fine or with court costs).

However as it looks to me (disclaimer, I'm not from the USA), the US justice system is taking everything literally and specifically. For example, just this week someone was complaining that there is no specific law against online harrasment. Why should there be? Shouldn't there be a law against harrasment and have that blanket every possible medium?

Honestly, to me as an outsider, all these lawsuits about copyright, privacy, antitrusts, piracy and so on that I see in the news every day sound like an argument with a teenager. Just a ton of energy expended "explaining" to him something that he clearly understands but still doesn't want to accept so he keeps saying stuff like "nuh-uh, I was crossing my fingers when I said that, it doesn't count".

I'm not an expert but it looks like what happens when a keyframe is dropped. Maybe reverse engineering (or solving like a puzzle) the key frame would yield some results?

So if you jump and hit someone or if you throw a rock at a window it's the FAA's turf?

It gives me 403 forbidden... so that's ironic

I think this was Linus' plan all along when he set the main linux version to 3 and made the second number grow faster.

Yeah, you can get a programmer that writes beautiful frame-worthy code that doesn't work and I will hire programmers that solve the problems they are presented with.

Not really, heuristic analysis means looking for specific patterns in code or other data. Things like the program setting himself to start at bootup while deleting itself from the initial run location and so on.

What this guys does is divide the code in small pieces and comparing those. The thing is I know for a fact that AVs today already do that so unless he has some really smart way of analyzing those "structures" his research is too late.

Disclaimer: I used to work at an AV company and actually I used to work on the part of the product that does exactly what this guys does.
