Excellent post. Great information. I have a question about SSDs, though. Google has published their information about hard drive and SSD survival in their data centers. It can be viewed here: http://www.datacenterdynamics.com/servers-storage/googles-ss... So my question is how we mere mortals can deal with all the maintenance. It may well be that spinning hard drives are best for us.

I still can't figure out how one login can give me -3 points. Very impressive. How many logins do you have? Must be a hassle keeping them straight, and you just burned three of them for one reply. Hardly seems sustainable.

I thought the OP had a very reasonable suggestion. It would be very beneficial to me to have it as a profile setting. And if for me, then probably others, too. So only those who want it would change their behavior.

My only surprise is that they are not writing Asian lives matter instead. This article lumps Asians in with "white" - it would be interesting to see how the Asian new-hires dominate.

Or maybe this is a very public admission that they can't break encryption.

I wonder if it is just because FBI feels left out of the party. NSA is having all the fun. Maybe all of this is an interagency conflict.

Excellent post. Very interesting. I see how it works but am using Python 2.7 so based on your headline I suppose it won't work for me. This is the first real lead I've seen for integrating it easily. Pricing isn't terrible, if it goes production. Too bad there is no way to test it first for development. But we're lucky to have this at all.

The link to the VLC library is pretty handy.

This is totally cool. Their translations are pretty good. Regular desk microphones (condenser) work just fine.

Thank you for posting this.

A federal judge’s order earlier this month that California public schools turn a trove of personal information on millions of children over to two nonprofits has parents worried and privacy rights advocates outraged.

The nonprofits, who advocate for special needs kids, say they need access to information on a state database to gauge compliance with federal law, but critics don’t believe Social Security numbers, home addresses and other sensitive records should be included. The ruling by Judge Kimberly Mueller of the Eastern District of California, grants access to data on all students enrolled in Golden State public schools at any time since 2008, a number estimated at 10 million.

The requests listed on the chart were filed in New York, Illinois, California, Massachusetts, and Ohio, in multiple different districts.

The device models ranged from an iPhone 3 to an iPhone 6 Plus, as well as an iPad 2 with Wifi capabilities — and one phone whose model hasn’t been identified yet.

They were running operating systems ranging from iOS4.2 to iOS9.1 — iOS8 being the level at which Apple says it cannot retrieve the data on the phone because it is encrypted, and only the user can unlock it.

Currently, 91 prisoners remain in the prison, down from a peak of nearly 800. Of those who remain, 35 are currently approved for release and transfer to a third-party country. Many have been awaiting transfer since 2009. The administration’s plan would release these men quickly while identifying more who may be eligible for clearance. It would also wind down the prison population to a smaller number of detainees who would likely never be approved for release. These “forever prisoners” would make up the population of the future prison facility somewhere in the United States.

“no one should be surprised that we’re investigating other cases and looking for assistance in those other cases,” a law enforcement official said on Tuesday.

The title was too short to say "on a satellite to be launched" next year... So sue me. Pretty cool, though, I'd say. My family likes to use their RV but have to be near cell towers for 4G LTE connectivity (5G is on the way, too) at speeds that rival our cable system at home. But there are a lot of places it would be nice to just have satellite coverage like how GPS works everywhere.

I sure think this is true! Not sure how you get enough upvotes to stay on the front page. To stay "new" means posting at night and on weekends. Just sayin' (Upvote)
