This story make me sad for the human species, it sounds criminal. On the upside, with tech of course: Is there any existing app for labor conditions reporting? If potential employees had a slight opportunity to easily research conditions, t

Imagine the pressure to reach a 4-5x IRR on that. It would seem conspicous outlay could be competitive to signal a defensible business model where such outlay doesn't actually return itself but deters competition.

Virgin started with one plane. 1. Uno. In fact, starting with a fraction of a plane / plane-on-demand would be even less risk.

That's savvy b/c it's likely. The team, idea and execution can all be in tune but there's still that darn uncertainty of popularity. Hope the team's still motivated to carry on; good teams are hard to come by. (VC&

I'm not a fan of nascent bragging about killing your latest startup, leaving customers out in the cold without a good reason or advanced warning. Find a buyer or pivot, otherwise it's just flushing time, money and credibility dow

Neat. 9.2 G for how long? Usually requires massive abs and leg muscle involvement to keep from blacking out. [ Too tall to fit in any fighter aircraft :*(, this will have to do: http://is.gd/Tu3E4e ]

As a backup, ECHO (nist round 2) has the nice properties of being expensive in both hw and sw execution speed, in addition to being based on existing crypto. Go impl here, from yours truly: https://github.com/steakknife&#x2F

As everything, it depends on the app. :) ARGUS-IS [0]: 368 [5Mpx sensors] * 5 [Mpx] / 38 [MPx] = 49 [38Mpx sensors] That's almost an order of magnitude reduction in the number of sensors needed, at about the same order of magnitud

It's a great, insightful video. So from a friend that was a major in the USAF flying fixed and rotor wing aircraft: the current UCMJ / ROEs requires an officer present for each and every kill decision. Period. If that doesn&#x27

This lists which companies have certified implementations, not which products relies on which CSPRNG/s by default. I think there are already internal code audits underway by some of the listed entities, if not, it would be wise to get

Automation sounds great, but it must be followed-up as to how it's used or abused in the real world in order to maintain air safety. A primary concern of automating error detection is that it leads to laziness by cognition of least res

Picking one or the other is a trade-off of effectiveness of water jet vs direct action and yet another part to clean. TP does create waste, as do wipes, so water jet is an environmental win and possibly sanitation one as well. TP and wipe

You're missing context because it was deleted by the comment's author. It was claimed that Linus Torvalds was "the authority" and that articles were written by non-technical reporters. Schneier is clearly not a non-tec
