I do. It's about state coverage: every Boolean flag doubles the possible state of that bit of code: now you need to run everything twice to retain the coverage. FWIW, I know people who work on SQL processing (big data Hive/Spark,

Gave the map of the route to fake. Without that you'd need time to trace round buildings and training areas you see in satellite pics. Which is the kind of thing governments have the time to do (imagine mapmyride seeing an uptake in us

What's interesting is that they thought to look at Strava to see who had ridden there during the time period of interest. You'd need to think "let's see who cycled", and come up with a way of querying strava, such a

It's too complex, and to keep a govt/ site secure, you'd need every person who runs round it to keep their info locked down. I think Strava will end up having specific "national-state privacy zones" where no runs e

I'd say it's advanced in terms of "escalating heatmap information into identifying people running round a submarine base". Yes, you can (should!) use aliases there, at which point the people stay anonymous. Except: in th
