Autopilot quitting when it's too difficult, and expecting a human to jump-in at the last second is a stupid plan. Tesla needs to fix their attitude to failure and take the blame if autopilot gives up.

Refer to it with a version number: PAST2, PAST3, etc.. You could also drop the use mapping: change 'sign' to 'public-auth' and explain that it's a 'sign' operation (a.k.a. digital signatures)

AutoSSH + GatewayPorts on a public server has been solid for me. Setup is a service file on the private machine and "GatewayPorts yes" in sshd_config of the public computer. Plus there's no keep alive traffic. Combine it with

If a judge issues a warrant allowing the police to compel the use of biometrics, can a person use the wrong finger? Courts can't compel someone enter their PIN. So can a court compel not only biometric "use" but the correct b

Great article. Online harrasement and hate are tough subjects. Setting a simple standard that telling people to kill themselves is unacceptable -- and trying to do something about it -- is great to see. Such hate could devestate a very depr

Great work. I was thinking of a service using autossh and assigned names would be nice for raspberry pi users that don't know networking. Forward sshd also, and help them setup apache with mod_python... and on and on. What's the c

I don't think there is an answer. Fake clicks can only be determined by a 3rd party -- or else sites could host the ads and report whatever numbers they want. The only way forward that I can see is anonymous aggregation by a 3rd party

Amazon subsidizes hardware by collecting information on the users, so they can't open their hardware. It's ironic because, like uBlock on Chrome, only a small percentage would change the hardware/OS anyway -- and those are th
