On six it takes you back to 4 floors with 2 elevators and the challenge is 40 people in under 60 elevator moves. The first 5 are easy to "brute force" but six is making me think a bit more.

Less dangerous than a car? Perhaps. Although I'd point out that we require licensure and insurance for cars, and the threat of life in prison if you injure anyone through neglect while operating a vehicle Baseball? No. These are injuri

As someone who recently picked up the multi-copter hobby, I would say I want people to have to register/license these things. Previously I might have scoffed at the "flying lawnmower" meme, but it is absolutely the truth.

I would want to see more than a couple of independent tests verifying this is actually safer before it were allowed on roads. I can see the potential benefits but there are enough terrible drivers already without introducing more distractio

It always seemed to me that the military, specifically the Strategic Air Command appreciated that security and ease of use are trade offs, and consistently chose solutions very far to the "ease of use" end of that spectrum. SAC wa

This is all discussed in "Command and Control" by Eric Schlosser. I'm not sure if that specific story is available for free online somewhere, but it's hardly an isolated incident of terrible security within the nuclear a

You are indeed correct, I'll leave my comment to stand as a testament to my wrongness. The bunker doors were "fixed" with metal plates after it was shown they could be easily shimmied with a credit card.

I second this. The price is premium, but so is the product.

This line of thinking becomes even easier to justify internally when the open office answer is generally also the cheapest solution.

Most hobbyist multi-rotor flyers use an analog video feed over 1.2ghz or 5.8ghz radio, which has very minimal lag. Converting the video to a digital signal typically introduces 500-1000ms of delay, which is enough to make flying by the ca

How is running scripts (locally?) or SSHing into it over a serial modem any different from the scripting functions or telemetry information available with APM or GCS (CC3D) based systems? What advantages would the raspi have in streaming HD

by Phlarp 12y ago
It's probably possible, but it won't be easy or at all fun compared to a non-packet-switched analog feed.

This is spot on. I could easily see an industry similar to craft beer emerging.

Ah, I guess I should have qualified my statement with "assuming the underlying crypto of truecrypt is secure, does sharing the ciphertext via bittorrent introduce any further side channel attacks outside of compromising the key exchang

Why specifically? I always considered this a relatively safe way to transmit encrypted data. Assuming you have secure key exchange worked out, which is always the harder part anyway.

He bought a top end tesla with a $70,000 down payment in bitcoin a few months after taking over. You really want to contend that he "probably pays taxes on that money, too."?

I have no idea how the quoted test was formatted, but a twitch reaction when a subject is prepared for it within a short time-frame (10s like this website) will be much faster than a test where the subject rests or is made to focus on anoth

Makes you wonder how many black ops they could fund through insider trading. Even without specific encryption breaking hardware the scope of NSA's programs would serve equally well to front run essentially any major market move. How ea

I feel like an hour of consulting work at that rate is slightly different. I personally wouldn't expect to bill for 2000 hours of work in a single year as a contractor. As a technical co-founder, I would expect the full 200k/yr as
