  1. 361.42 are the proprietary ones distributed with Ubuntu. They're in general very well tested, so you should be good to go
  2. Linus has already 4 youtube channels. So it would be his 5th.
  3. It works by spreading large amounts of "highly attractive", but infertile mating partners. You can combat mosquitos only with other mosquitos using that way. You need an isolated, sterile containment, that is equipped with a climate control system. Also, a high quality nutrition solution and some Petri-dishes. Next you need to get your hands on the right kind of bacteria. I won't share here how, but the answer is pretty obvious if you start thinking about where most major bacteria problems are coming from (on a small scale). Maybe you want to invest in a microscope, so you can check if your bacteria cultures are growing. The rest is basic 6th grade biological knowledge and scientific methodology. All you're doing with the bacteria is doing what Gregor Mendel did to peas. It's a bit more complicated (and a bit more expensive in terms of running costs) with viruses since you need hosts, but not a lot harder. . Means: If you passed basic biology classes at your school, got 20-30 years for cultivating the bacteria or viruses and are willing to make a one-time investment of $1,000-$2,000, you've got all you need for wiping out humanity.
  4. You're listening to the wrong stuff. Mosquitos are very important for spreading viruses over large areas. This ensures, that new mutations are spread fast while still being very similar to its "un-mutated" form. That way our immune systems can adapt easily. If a virus can mutate uncontrolled in an isolated area, neither the virus can adapt to make the host survive, nor can the host adapt to the virus. All you can hope for is, that the virus alters itself too much for using humans as hosts. We're able to extinct mosquitos, flies & Co. for quite some time now. Designing highly specialized bacteria and viruses is anything but hard and actually the most major threat to humanity right now. Anyone with a bit of knowledge, a small laboratory and the right mindset could wipe out humanity. And on a regional basis there are other methods (that were already used), too. E.g. this over a prolonged time: http://www.israel21c.org/israel-sends-380-million-radioactive-flies-to-croatia/
  5. Created the largest and most powerful market in the history of humanity? The problem with the EU is, that most influential countries of the EU are ruled by left-wings. In short people who like quota women, soft-core Marxism, complaining everywhere about everything and creating their safe-spaces.
  6. The probem is the battery. I'm going to avoid fast chargers like the pest and just stick to regular charging, since I want to get as much lifetime from my device as possible: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/ultra_fast_chargers See the diagram.
  7. Ok, admitted, no, definitively not. I were heavily exaggerating. The SZ is actually one of the most trustworthy German newspapers (something that doesn't mean a lot nowadays...). The problem is, that absolutely everything is shady. That the information they're releasing is true or at least as close to the truth as they can get, there shouldn't be any doubts. If someone could disprove just one release, it would make all the work they did worthless. As a reason why they don't want to release all the information to the public they stated, that there is a lot of personal information in there, which belongs to persons who didn't cross any legal boundaries or were involved in other morally reprehensible actions. The problem is, that now nobody can guarantee that the information weren't manipulated and nobody can guarantee that ICIJ got all the information that the SZ got. Whoever this guy who hacked MF's mail server was, he should have known about this problem and for anyone with a basic understanding of IT the solution is no big deal or secret: Encrypt the original data, hash it and put everything online. Now all you have to do is giving access to the key and everybody could be sure, that the data isn't tampered with. I would have definitively included (at least German) law enforcement. They're precise and document and archive absolutely everything they get. Second, there should have been people who have an interest in disproving the information. Judging by the content of the data e.g. "Russia Today". Knowing a bit about their methodology, they would have definitively handled the whole situation completely on their own and provided a completely ... "different perspective". . In my opinion the largest problem is, that everyone is agreeing on the credibility of the documents and that everyone is cooperating. Something like that just shouldn't happen. MF is just really cool about having leaked all these documents, politicians and officials are resigning as if it was no big deal, the police is raiding companies and organizations and these just go along, Putin first claims that all of that are false accusations, now he agrees to everything... Come on... It's almost an international "agree and amplify" competition. I can't help it but I'm probably going to make myself a few tinfoil hats...
  8. Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about "you" in terms of owner of the phone. I'm referring to the organization. On the other hand, in reality "experience" is all the evidence you need for getting a warrant. At least here in Germany.
  9. Exactly. Also you can almost be sure that the documents are manipulated. Just by the fact that nobody has been given access who might have an interest in disproving their credibility, the German newspaper the "Süddeutsche Zeitung" kept the documents secret for almost a year and by how Mossack Fontessa handled the whole situation, by agreeing to everything and trying their hardest to make these documents credible.
  10. That's BS and I think you know that yourself. There are only very few psychopaths who deliberately create evidence. It's about applications caching stuff in the background to files and general activity. Let's make it simple: Imagine he saw a cute cat on the street and took a picture. Using the lighting and environment, you can gain a lot of information when and often even where the picture was taken. In his mind nothing related to the crime, but for an investigator major evidence.
  11. Why are you assuming not finding any evidence is worth nothing? Imagine being taken to court for murder, the FBI shows up and tells the judge, that there is absolutely no evidence that you are the perpetrator. Is that worthless? It's not even a dumb analogy, but exactly what happened here, just a bit more extreme. Also: It is typical of these cases that an indeterminacy originally restricted to the atomic domain becomes transformed into macroscopic indeterminacy, which can then be resolved by direct observation. That prevents us from so naively accepting as valid a "blurred model" for representing reality. In itself, it would not embody anything unclear or contradictory. There is a difference between a shaky or out-of-focus photograph and a snapshot of clouds and fog banks. As long as you don't observe, there is no way of knowing what is going on. Nobody knew that there would be no evidence on the phone. How would you be able to? Remote access to the phone? . I think you don't get the fundamental problem here. If the FBI demanded a master key and they would have gotten it, the problem is not the FBI having a master key, but that the creation of said master key was possible in the first place. It doesn't matter if the FBI got it or not. All that matters is, that such a thing can exist. You should thank the FBI for auditing iPhones for free. And that they're doing it with a criminal's phone. In the end all it took for accessing the phone was a bunch of highly specialized experts. From that we can learn some things: A bunch of highly specialized experts can unlock the iPhone. That includes possible groups with criminal intentions. The FBI isn't able to do so on their own, showing the severe lack of capabilities of the US government in terms of digital warfare. Large enough companies like Apple can openly resist law enforcement without facing any charges. The average US citizen has absolutely no idea how proper investigation is done. Tell me: What if there was an organization behind the attack? What if someone started placing bombs in public transportation, public places and cars? Unlikely for sure, but just have a look at Paris, Ankara, Brussels. And these attacks weren't carried out by an organisation. Want to know what it looks like when there is an organisation at play? Have a look at the RAF. It took several years and half a million police men and specialists to track down about 70 people. Thousands were imprisoned, tens of thousands of houses and apartments searched, whole districts completely locked down. And that happened in West Germany, the country with the by far most effective police force of all countries above 10,000,000 citizens. You don't just assume there is no evidence because someone believes so, if you suspect there might be an organization.
  12. Not going to happen: https://geizhals.de/?phist=911571&age=365 Depends. I guess, this new generation won't be separated from the old generation in online games. No matter if users of the old generation will be at a disadvantage or not, they will feel that way and therefore will also be much more likely to upgrade. Normally if there aren't any new games, a PS-user sells his console and all games. That way he gets more money for a new generation. But they could not influence if he gets an XBox or PS. Enabling cross-generation online gaming will make the users upgrade their model instead of eventually switching completely.
  13. Damnit. Sorry, I forgot to reply on here -.- Sadly, the paper I were thinking of wasn't what I though it was and the guy who's getting them for me says never having heard of something like that and also couldn't find any clues in the library system. Now since I remembered replying, I'm curious again: Have you found anything?
  14. Oh, Jesus... At least you're now talking primarily about very small multirotors. Yes. About 20-30 times. The hospital I worked next to for some time had an old (on the ground) and a new (on the roof) helipad. They built new houses around the old one when it went out of service and wanted to turn it into a parking lot, but then there were problems with the new one and they had to use the old helipad for some time. Can't tell you anything about that, I'm an EECS student, not a freaking lawyer. Swing out the rotor blades? Not much difference here. And yes, both helicopters are battery powered. Former answered above. Latter: Ever seen an helicopter evacuation in Vietnam or a rescue of a climber stuck on a wall? They can and they do. Not for a "normal" emergency, since having a helicopter landing directly next to you will probably put you under a lot of stress and blow all your medical equipment away. Also they don't want any bystanders near the helicopter. A multirotor isn't going to change anything here. Drones are only the platform. The platform could be anything. Cars, stationary devices, humans, you name it. That model sized vehicles - including drones - will become more interesting because of that is nothing special. Also e.g. police tracking a suspect or speeding car. Small vehicles just don't have enough payload capacity for carrying the huge camera and lens systems and can't stay up for a long time. Helicopters are cheaper Helicopters are more efficient Helicopters have higher payload capacities and are more efficient and therefore have a lot higher range. Also they're a lot faster and way less influenced by turbulence, which allows for operation at worse weather conditions. The only thing they're having against them is that they require maintenance by rained personal, while any kindergarten kid can "maintain" the average model sized multirotor. I said part of the infrastructure. Huge difference. Although that's very abstract and only applies to the "teacher". Health care, education, law, financial system, regulations and standards are all infrastructures on their own. How about you just google the term before making such statements? Although nobody I'm dealing with seems to know what infrastructures are anymore. It's ... sad. Tech is not the issue here. It became actually quite good. The problem is simple physics. Without additional compression, the pressure potential a faster spinning rotor can achieve just doesn't scale linearly. And therefore sacrificing surface area of a rotor for higher rpms just wont do any benefit. What? Did you even read what I wrote? You can't compensate for inactive (?) factors through software. How are you going to compensate for the low manufacturing precision and resonance, that's (e.g.) causing the screws to loosen, in software? Because mass and distance, 2 of the most important factors in physics, aren't of any relevance. Basically me, because I'm going batsh#t on large multirotors. Sure, because screw air drag, turbulence, air density and pressure potentials. That instability leads to a huge series of very fast small adjustments, that are wasting a lot of energy and are introducing a major point of failure: If the software screws up, the device is going to kiss the ground. Multirotors are a lot less maneuverable and and a lot slower in terms of reaction than helicopters. I challenge you: Beat me to it: 172MPH Very interesting, but I'd rather see it done with helicopters if I had a choice. Not going to happen, since they're a lot heavier and can do lots of damage on impact, but I'd probably go there to watch it live. As long as it's not further than 10km away from home. Else screw it. That point is especially not favoring multirotors. Until now I've never seen a well maintained and used to specification gearbox fail. The problem is, that the vehicle will most likely crash itself. Except if all they do require to fly one of these things is passing the kindergarten entrance exam and are giving the people manual control. Your quads are not the only ones up there. You're forgetting about the most obvious ones: Low flying helicopters, planes (rather rare, except when close to airports) and of course wildlife. There's a good reason why they're trying to get rid of birds around airports. You're again forgetting about other vehicles: Whatever that guy had been trafficking into the country is long gone before the police arrives. Weapon, drugs and human trafficking 101: Make sure it's someone else's problem as soon as you can. And if that means dropping it into a lake during a flyby.
