ingomaroon The god mode vulnerability that should kill "Trust Microsoft" forever

dead link?

ingomaroon Software horror show: SAP Concur

Fire protection mess ... was a symptom. The root cause was that the local governments (city of Berlin and state of Brandenburg) wanted to split the pie for many small to medium businesses in the region. Noble idea but hard to execute as we found out later... So instead of giving it all to a contractor that actually knows how to build (large) airports they tried to managed it themself. Those people were unexperienced in this size of operation and it went all downhill from there. It's a common theme with big projects: Local administration is unexperienced but tries to do it anyway and they fail or get ripped off every time. What we should have is a federal unit that just does large scale construction/engineering projects.

ingomaroon The Unison language – a new approach to Distributed programming

>Other tools try to recover structure from text; Unison stores code in a database

Just like VisualAge in the last century. Sign me up, that was great stuff.

ingomaroon Cryptocurrency mining could become the new face of energy storage. Here’s how

Amazing how cynical one can be. Proof-of-work cryptocurrencies are super polluters and need to go.

ingomaroon Tesla Model S adaptive cruise control crashes into van

I disagree: Most ACCs have exactly the same limitation.

ingomaroon Tesla Model S adaptive cruise control crashes into van

This is an artefact of the sensors (radar) used. Since resolution and processing is insufficent right now, everything that is stationary is ignored.

I have a recent BMW with ACC that shows the same behaviour.

It's not an ultra rare event (I experience it roughly once every other day) and it's also not a problem as a driver.

Also with ACC: Just swerve right and ACC will happily crash you into any other stationary object like a lamp post or a wall.

ingomaroon Verizon’s 5G service is faster than Google Fiber, will begin to roll out in 2017

5G is pretty much undefined right now so an aggressive OpCo is abusing the label (again).

With that timeline this is LTE Advanced which is 1Gbit at best.

And this is a horrible article void of facts just reproducing some hype a verizon bigwig uttered. BGR|CNET, no thanks.
