Why would being in the center of the city be important? I would think average anywhere in the city would be more reasonable. I would also like to see the costs of a 2 bedroom apartment. I'd personally rather have an office in my apartm

This has nothing to do with the Stingray devices though. Apple can certainly decrypt any iMessage, as explained very thoroughly in the article you linked to. If Apple can decrypt them, then law enforcement can decrypt them, so they don&#x27

This should be all you need: https://github.com/WhisperSystems/BitHub I haven't tried it and have no affiliation with it, just saw that the repo is there.

Agreed. IMO: Dungeons, trolls, wizards, magic: No thanks. Planets, space, advanced technologies: Awesome!

Well, I think we'll merge humans and robots before having advanced AI robots. Basically cyborgs will be the ultimate creation, and since we'll have a human brain with empathy (hopefully) then we will be able to prevent any uprisin

Fair enough, thank you very much for working on such an awesome and important project. After looking at that specific developers commit history it seems like he does commit a ton all over the place, these were just the last few and immediat

I'm not sure, I doubt it, but that doesn't mean there aren't other ways to intercept them. iOS still sends normal text messages to any device that isn't iOS. I use an Android device for the most part and almost everyone

The article says that they've made significant breakthroughs and have solved some of the problems but there are still a few that they are working on. The ones that are already solved need methods of mass-production, which requires fund

I wish they had text messaging. I've been waiting so long for this and it lacks the major feature we need! Hopefully it'll come soon. The reason why this is important these days is that law enforcement now has more access (because

Their encryption/transfer method has been public for a while and the app is opensource. From what I've read (I'm not technically savvy enough and don't have enough time to actually study it) it shouldn't be possible

This seems like a pretty great deal, what's the catch? I'm guessing that the games will only be available for a limited period of time, then if you still want to play them you'll have to purchase them, which would be very dif

Sweet, partner with any battery manufacturer, Tesla, or the US military and lets get this technology fast-tracked. Higher density batteries can't come soon enough.

Whistleblower protection hasn't been around for very long, and I'm not sure how it applies to private companies. The "official" process is likely a very difficult set of hoops to jump through and you're not going to

by dm2 12y ago
Maybe there is an opportunity for a private company to be the middle-man between government projects and small competent development teams. To ensure they meet the requirements and to provide real advice to the government agencies that need

by dm2 12y ago
That's exactly right. The staff organizing the project for the government gets advice (bad advice) on the technologies that it should use from approved development firms then make using that technology a strict requirement. These firms

All of the events are needed because developers need that granular control. If you want simple, you're going to have to use a library, what you're basically asking for is for the HTML5 spec to emulate jQuery and cut out the option

I do realize that regenerative breaking does not 100% cancel out the energy required to accelerate the vehicle. The Model X will be ~10% heavier and Musk has stated recently that the range is expected to be ~10% less than that of the Model

Not just young professionals but technology lovers who are not millionaires. The car has it's own API and the cost savings verses a normal ICE vehicle could really add up in this newer low cost vehicle. No oil, gasoline, etc.

I'm sure weight matters a little but torque is what gets the vehicle moving and regenerative breaking puts more back into the batteries with more weight. Aerodynamics seem to be a more critical factor for electric vehicles. You want th

It'll be good for towing also. Electric vehicles are excellent for towing, I've seen lots of places use normal electric golf carts to tow huge boats, it's all about torque.

I don't understand, it seems like researchers have to pay to enter and then are only given the funding if successful, that's not exactly funding R&D, more of a contest. It seems really strange that Russia would be offering thi

All tech companies with excess cash should offer these types of bounties and responsibly disclose the security vulnerabilities so that they can be fixed. I think governments (including states) should also offer these bounties for their own
