Name one Intendant (head of broadcaster) who is not member of a ruling party.
632.
by chopin 7y ago
It is controlled by CDU and SPD who together form the government. Secondly afaik it is one of the best funded public broadcast worldwide.
633.

Public funding makes it "government news" in Germany. And very expensive at that.

> MCAS used trim to counter-act an overeager upwards angle during key parts of the flight like take-off. Great post, but minor correction: At take-off flaps are set which disables MCAS.

by chopin 7y ago
This disagree doesn't help anything if you don't know that MCAS exists and is coupled to the sensors. Afaik only Brazil regulators insisted of telling pilots of MCAS existence (though I don't know whether the implications whe

But in this case the EFF would love to do a forensic examination.

The money one is a bit worrying, at least if "numerical" includes floating point types. It's almost never a good idea to use these for monetary values. If you are going to have different currencies I almost always would go fo

Cost of living too high. I've currently plenty of space and a half hour commute. That wouldn't be possible in Munich even if I got paid much more than now.

This sounds to be a nightmare to debug.

How would they do this? HN is served over https, which would make this a massive and deliberate undertaking. The only possibilities I know of would be an intercepting proxy (don't know whether Google uses this, I doubt it) or tracking

But the reason might be ... Munich? I certainly wouldn't want to move there.

In which way does this help? I assume the police just plants malware when the device is in their custody.

>A backdoor is a deliberate remote-access vulnerability that the creator intended to use for illegitimate access. I beg to differ. A backdoor gives access which the legitimate owner cannot control. I don't mind any intention.
644.
by chopin 8y ago
A backdoor is access to a computer which the legitimate owner cannot control. Intel ME fits this very well. Let me switch it off (verifiable) and we can talk. If it was for troubleshooting enterprise computers, it would be opt in. At this p

The article is pretty light on technical details. As well, it lacks a definition of what is meant by "on a scale". Does it mean mass surveillance (malware installed on every phone they get hold off; or malware installed remotely w

Do you have a citation for the LIGO based derived Hubble constant? I didn't find it mentioned in the article (just CMB and Cepheid derived values).

by chopin 8y ago
Yeah, but the deposit is higher than the retail price.

I was referring to the fact that you can outpay your opponent. Yes, large corporations can get away with much more in other countries as well, but rarely by outpaying their opponents.

Following Noether's theorem conservation of momentum relies on translational symmetry of space which we assume but have no proof for (other than measurements of conservation of momentum). In so far it is theory territory. Thermodynamic

And that guarantees victory? Interesting judicial system you have, over there.

And you make sure that you can purge the logs afterwards.

EVs don't pay carbon taxes either (which they should).

So, it's not in plaintext if it is in logs? Storing passwords in logs is even worse than on a database since access more likely is less restrictive. Every programmer worth its salt knows about this problem (I surely wrote code to pre

Running locally has nothing to do with GDPR. GDPR would also be applicable if you hire persons to recognize faces and put down notes on paper. It's all about storing or working with data about other people. No matter how it's done

by chopin 8y ago
That's storing passwords in plain text. "Happens often" is no valid excuse, on the contrary. If it happens often you should know about it if you are a qualified engineer.

Germany has this as well. It's massively overpriced and generally only an outlet for the major ruling parties and the government. The sooner it dies, the better. There's no real journalism involved, at all.
657.
by chopin 8y ago
But which local outlet does that? The local news I have access to certainly not.

I am not sure about this. Control has several laws and for landing it is afaik not a rate controller but direct input. It could be the same for take off.

I don't know about modern systems but PLC's (industrial controllers) worked exactly this way when I worked with them in the 90s. You can introduce subtle bugs with these either.

Interesting article but it eludes me what his bibliographical research found other than gaps which where already known. I fail to notice where he differs from mainstream based on results his research found. To be clear I don't like sti
