   Interesting that SIGINT tools (zero sum at best, and probably negative sum) are basically going to be useful for something which extends the ears of humanity in a positive way.

   Wow. Thank you, Yuri! I suspect even if this is unsuccessful at finding ET, it will do lots of awesome other things. And if it is successful in finding ET, then it's probably the most significant possible discovery.

   Is there some actual security threat they're designing against, or is it imitating the west, or a way for a contractor to make money (an even more accurate imitation of the west). I know there were some issues with Muslim separatists,

   I think the big white space left by Tesla (aside from cheap cars, which is problematic) is reconfigurable or cargo/commercial.

   I love the idea here, and the market. I've tried a lot of the current products from other vendors, and haven't been completely happy, mainly due to mechanical issues (Beddit falls off my bed, Im not going to wear a wristband, and

   I assume that means awd for the new roadster; Otherwise I don't see how they could do tires.

   I also wonder if there will be a way to "update firmware" on the fuse, so as to disable it, allowing remote self destruct mode. The advantage of a dumb fuse is it's basically going to work unless the laws of physics change,

   If you can do this as a $10k update "safely" with a computer-controlled pyro fuse, I wonder what you could do by hacking the firmware and replacing it with a piece of busbar. 2 seconds?

    For those keeping track, we now have San Francisco, London, Washington DC, and Singapore. SF and London are bursting at the seams and will be physically moving to new offices in the same cities (fairly nearby) later this year.

    I think it's more that if they're not in "wartime" mode, and employ a bunch of brilliant people who are well resourced and not working flat-out, they have a good chance of coming up with big things accidentally. gmail i

    This is probably great news for startups overall. Not only does it reduce the chances the next big thing will come out of Google, it probably means Google will be less competitive at hiring people, or retaining people who could otherwise j

    I'd be interested; will have a roof at 2nd/townsend at some point late this year. More interested in satcom, though.

    Yes, I'd be fully in favor of a 10-20 year life extension of the existing platforms, followed by "no more manned combat aircraft" after that.

    Yeah; I basically will not work anywhere without a private office ever again. That basically means a professional job, or a startup I run.

    In this case you would have been unaffected if you used CloudFlare for DNS, rather than using Dyn for DNS and CNAME from CloudFlare to it. Using CloudFlare for DNS is our preferred configuration.

    Sorry about this: just posted a blog post. Appears to be a Dyn issue, but affects a lot of our customers (including support.cloudflare.com which is Zendesk) https://blog.cloudflare.com/the-internet-is-a-cooperative-sy...

    What does this mean for startups/tech industry? I assume not very much as long as it is limited to Greece, but more so if it spreads to Portugal, Spain, Italy, right?

    What I'd love to see is "how did network log processing happen in 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and how will it look in 2015". The ratios between network traffic, processing, etc. are all changing, and DDoS, etc.

    1) Having a dog on a platform like that (basically a 5000 square foot trailer park with no "park") is pretty crappy for both the dog and the humans unfortunate enough to be stuck with it (not the owners of the dog). 2) 30 year old
