The scans focused on a particular area. The technology works by placing 'plates' in desired location and collecting the particles that hit those plates. They could only place plates inside the pyramid where they had access, and collect from particular (sic) paths. They aimed for a best-guess area previously unknown but speculated upon. I assume they will repeat the experiment wherever possible to gather more data in the future.
That's what I'm saying - if the scans have caught the large void (by being placed in the grand gallery) and the small void (by being placed likely in the entrance hallway leading to the gallery) then they are at the proper location to capture any pathways above them. But since no pathways were detected - then the theory is likely incorrect. But perhaps the location/shape of the void isn't as accurate as depicted.
i think it's also that the technology has been around long enough that consumers just aren't excited by this 'new thing'. Thinking of apps, when smartphones came out there was for a few years excitement about apps and what they could do, camera apps with filters, games, social media, nerd utilities. Every business and every schoolboy's aunt made an app for their service. I can't even remember the last time I went to the app store.
The excitement died, the brilliance faded and now I just want a headphone socket and a music player that isn't trying to sell me a paid service I don't want.
Depends on which country you are in. Your bank card in some European countries is not allowed to receive or store info about the items you purchased, but the shop obviously will and there is a limit on what they can do with that info and for how long they can store it.
So if I pay for petrol with a card and also buy donuts and coffee the bank and the shop cannot market to me according to what I bought, but if I join a loyalty card scheme then I'm opting in and the shop can, but not the bank.
In Norway btw, where govt. are strict about this sort of thing.
IN the video he claims not to have owned a cat or talked about cats for 20 years. they chose a subject that they are certain they have, as a couple, never exchanged words on.
Explaining away doesn't explain. For an average, normal FB user, this was as scientific as they could get. It would be nice to see someone repeat the experiment with a pro-hacker type on hand and a packet sniffer ++.
There are too many people giving a company like fb, who have form on the implementation of morally and ethically dubious practices, the benefit of the doubt, all the while dismissing any and all claims of users. It looks fishy at best, and I'm not name calling, it isn't allowed on this forum, but there are a disproportionate number of FB defenders popping up wherever this story surfaces.
Except he probably sees hundreds of ads for things he's never talked about for 20 years. It's not scientific at all, because he has no way of distinguishing a listening ad from luck. My statistical method would distinguish that.
But I guarantee you there are hundreds of pro-hacker types not giving facebook the benefit of the doubt. They're reverse engineering the apps, monitoring API calls from rooted phones, monitoring network traffic, etc. There are entire forums of people dedicated to hacking on android and finding rooting methods, etc.
There are tons of security researchers in academia desperate for a nice paper, eagerly looking for something juicy like facebook app listening to users. In fact these researchers have found that hundreds of android apps are listening to you[1]. But facebook isn't on that list.
The EFF has tons of smart people eager to dig into any little privacy mistake that a major company makes. They for sure would launch a huge lawsuit against facebook if this came out, and they very likely have some researchers looking into whether there's any listening.
Why haven't you heard about all the pro-hacker research into facebook's spying? Because they have all found no spying, because there isn't any. They don't want to publish that they found nothing, because then it would look like they're defending facebook, and these pro-hacker types don't like facebook and don't want to defend them.
I read that at the time of publication. It made me both sad and angry; all of those children... because of what amounted to bureaucracy. I can't imagine what being a parent at work and too far away to react in time must have felt like. Harrowing stories.
It doesn't seem to me that the issue was bureaucracy, but the extreme scale of the event and the complete lack of preparation regarding it. And to a degree, the arrogance of teachers who should have realized they didn't know what to do given the useless manual.
It was bureaucracy that stopped them from going to hill... but thats simply because the bureaucracy was doing what it does to stop panic and chaos. In a situation where the event was prepared for, having a small group of kids yelling orders and running off is exactly what you don't want. You don't want conflicting orders running around; else (if the bureaucracy judged correctly, and went to the hill), you'll end up with a group of kids and teachers or parents not following orders and staying in the school instead.
If you have an existing COBOL app you can convert it to a web app and develop using a simpler syntax with more features through SystemZ from Zortec Intl. I've worked with them personally and they were super-duper.
COBOL isn't so bad when you use a modern variant that purposefully deals with many of the complaints surrounding it.
No problem and glad to be of [di]service. I was familiar with the URL you posted, and probably should not have commented as a reply to you, but there you have it. :)
I have a newer iPhone through work, so my 4 is only used for calls, sms and music. I'm keeping it until it dies and then moving away from Apple. What I really want is a true GNU/Linux phone.
I followed the link, but don't quite understand the product. Does Ubuntu Touch OnePlusOne replace the OS on the device?
So I buy one of the supported phones listed, and then erase and replace Android with this in it's place? Or it installs on top of?
It replaces the OS, so you will lose everything you currently have on the phone. The installation process is similar to flashing a ROM and you can choose to reflash and move back to Android in the future.
