General aviation aircraft are quite safe. I don’t have data on hand to back this up on mobile, but I’d wager more than half (honestly, more) of those GA incidents are pilot error, whether operationally or maintenance-related. Checklist cult

Apple was not sued, and that case is irrelevant to your point.

Are you sure? ISIS has been coordinating operations and attacks via Telegram for its entire existence, and I don't see a lot of Apple backlash in either of your courts. (Rightly, I believe. Would you go after HTC or Sprint for a phone

You realize you're alleging that Apple is moderating its App Store based on conversations people are having within an app? Given the gravity of your claim, and the fact that there are cryptocurrency-related applications all over the Ap

While I appreciate your perspective, I think it’s more from the “occasional SSH to a foreign server” mindset. Scaling “the way I work in a shell” to huge fleets is a nonstarter, and as a working SRE, has been the biggest thing holding me ba

The weird thing about IPA is that the non-IPA pronunciation you’re replying to seems easier to understand.

I know. I've been asked to write press release translations when I wrote for television news, and I've had those write-ups pushed back when I introduced a critical angle (:40 for a VO is not a lot of time to work with). Journalism

Don't broaden and insult journalism by comparing TechCrunch to it. TechCrunch is now a quite obvious press release translation factory, and has been ever since Michael left. This is their bread and butter, and there's nothing wron

...so, we're back to trusting a set of centralized parties, then? What if those get wiped? Altered (though that seems less likely)? Is such an archive a fork vector? I wrote a blockchain explorer on Bitcoin as a technical exercise, and

I hope not. Stellar's appeal is its simplicity, and shipping a full programming environment with all the baggage of maintenance over time seems overly complex, and prone to causing issues down the line. There's very likely a way t

Westerners who travel abroad on behalf of corporations are trained on this religiously. It’s considered corruption on home turf, and entertaining it can come back on a company quite hard both domestically and internationally, particularly w

You should look at the usable payload of a Cessna 150 or Piper Cub, and keep in mind that figure includes fuel, if you think that's low. Weight and balance is something you have to pay close attention to in aviation in general, and wha

When I was in news television in ~2005, we dabbled with replacing iNEWS with something Web-friendly and nice, but the Web landscape just wasn't there. It seems like a million years ago, in terms of the Web. Our frustrations were the sa

DJI has miles and miles to go on the support, quality, and remediation side, though. I've owned three DJI drones, starting with a Vision 2 Plus, and I've never once had a positive support or defect experience. Not one. The softwar

Hyphen is also a Western name separator, as in Jean-Luc Picard. Using a hyphen where a dash belongs, because of its ease of use on a typical U.S. layout keyboard, is a common mistake. A lot of people type two hyphens to make a dash, as well

Video service is special because it is expensive on account of video files being large. You’re pulling a lot of bandwidth off Archive when you embed HTML5 onto your site. On its face, that’s a pretty shitty thing to leech from a charitable

I suppose I'm in the cult. About the only complaint I can lodge against Nolan is that the exposition is heavy handed in a few of his films, which he spoke to in the article, and I agree he was forced into that position with the intense

Doubly interesting given that Nolan is one of the premier auteurs of our time. I wouldn't have expected him to say that.

No, OP meant embedding Archive hosted assets onto your site, or any site. > You can use [the Internet Archive URL] in an HTML5 video or audio element to embed the data in a webpage

by jsmthrowaway 9y ago
Do you contribute to the Internet Archive? Video service is ridiculously expensive, and using them to hotlink HTML5 video onto your Web site seems...kinda antithetical to the spirit of what you're saying.

As time goes on, that argument is becoming increasingly debunked. Heartbleed, already mentioned in this thread, is a good example. OpenSSL is one of the most visible pieces of open source software, with millions of actual (not potential)

Then front-runs the negotiated timeline anyway, catching projects like Xen off guard (it seems like)[0]. Will be interested to read the postmortem of the entire process from start to finish, and Xen is promising one from their perspective.

Nut quote: "Systems running all versions of Xen are affected," which should be fairly clear based on reading Meltdown/Spectre. This is uniquely bad for hosting providers, and the accelerated disclosure timeline does not help
