The Pew 'gig economy' study is here, and it's grim

Re: Never fails to surprise me

They succeed because they process in a "friendly" destination.

Nobody will call an international number to hail a taxi. At the same time nobody cares about doing what is effectively an international order for it.

In any case, the best (and probably only) way to deal with these is to force ALL delivery vehicles and ALL hire cars to carry a tachometer ASAP. The tech is available, it can be installed today. A GPS synced one - tomorrow. That will be the only way to deal with Yodel and DPD trucks driving at 50mph in 20mph zones and flashing lights at you if you stay at the speed limit.

The moment all of these have to comply with the "time behind the wheel" safety regs the whole business will suddenly stop being as appealing as it is today.

Re: market failure

Rather than cities like Paris and New York banning Uber, perhaps they should just require that all jobs entered into apps go into a central city run database/clearing house

They should go where they belong - on a payroll.

This is employment, not gig as the employer determines everything. So the employer for starters has to:

1. Pay the minimum salary

2. Pay all other taxes and national insurance

3. Comply with health and safety requirements related to driving. These are not just "union spoilsport" rules - they are there to keep people alive on the road.

The moment Uber and other other gig companies have to do all that they stop being "competitively priced". In fact they end up costing the same as "legacy" businesses providing the same service.

LinkedIn officially KickedOut of Russia

Re: Like this move from the Kremlin...

Not the issue here.

The issue here is USA continuing to refuse to provide adequate data protection to foreign subjects. The whole thing was long in the making and all interested subjects could have made the USA government negotiate with Russia an adequate bilateral data protection agreement which is different from the usual "banana republic bend over and comply" (like Privacy Shield).

USA State Department, however, completely refused any negotiation (multiple times as well), despite that being clearly against USA business interests. While I can sort'a feel their pain, I disagree with the sour grapes approach. They have been trying "regime change" operations of all sorts for 20 years and have failed every single time. In fact, lately, Putin has been one move ahead of them most of the time. While doing that they have forgotten what they are actually paid for by the USA tax payer.

As a side effect this is also a protectionist measure. With the requirement for the operation to be locally self-contained it becomes more difficult to pretend that large part of the service happens elsewhere. So advertising (and other) revenue and income has to be declared locally and taxed correctly.

WDLabs goes Pi-eyed and sees triple

And it most likely blows across all three

The Pi is a nice piece of kit until you try to use the USB in earnest. As in storage, uvcvideo or god forbid a combination of them and or networking (which is also off USB).

I tried building a "DIY Time capsules", "outbuilding servers" and/or CTTV systems out of one of my spare Pis. The moment I tried attaching a decent drive to them they no longer survived receiving the weekly backup (situation was OK with older slow drives). Ditto for running USB 3G modems. Ditto for trying to run the wifi as an AP (as it is over the same broken USB). Ditto for trying to run any serious storage/network load while having a USB uvcvideo. And so on.

If you really want storage on an Arm Soc - get a Banana. I have not had a single issue once I replaced my "USB in use" Raspberries with tropical fruit and relegated the Razzies to duties which do not involve strenuous USB exertions. When you do not need to use the USB, the Pi shines by the way - I have systems with 6+ months uptime doing motion using the built in camera and/or stuff via GPIO.

UK warships to have less firepower than 19th century equivalents as missiles withdrawn

Re: When was the last time a RN fired a shot in anger?

"If the Chinese, Russians, or even India came geared up with purpose, all we could do is issue a strongly worded bloody communiqué anyway."

Correct. Peter The Great alone can terminate the entire UK surface fleet without breaking a sweat and without expending all ordnance. Even the older Slava class missile cruisers carry enough missiles to terminate most of the fleet while being able to take out any aircraft carrying counterattacks from UK non-existent aircraft carrier before they get in range. All of their anti-ship missiles are supersonic and with high-G maneuvers in terminal approach.

Chinese do not yet have anything that heavy hitting, but the Sunburn carrying Sovremennuy class destroyers they bought from Russia can probably knock out half of the UK fleet in one salvo (if the SS-N-22 is as good as as advertised). Their native stock and their fleet aviation is more than capable of finishing the job after that.

India has 7 guided missile destroyers capable of launching supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles (Brahmos which they developed jointly with Russia). Their first salvo can take nearly all of UK surface fleet, the older native and USSR destroyer stock and the fleet aviation will finish the job after that.

So you are indeed correct - UK fleet presently is capable of dealing only with banana republics. Any major power will have it for light midnight snack and the only hope of retaliation are the attack submarines and or the "family atomics"

Re: When was the last time a RN fired a shot in anger?

Other than the sub sinking the General Belgrano; have they done anything offensive

They have. But not at another navy. Land targets in Afghanistan and the gulf wars.

Probably for the better too as we are rapidly reaching a situation where only nuclear powers have navies worth considering in a fight. Everyone else has just patrol/missile boats - basically a glorified coast guard.

Re: Right decision

Ship killing has been performed by aircraft and submarines

Really? You need to find your hot air valve and deflate yourself a bit.

So the Israeli's INS Eliat never sunk right? Oh, that was a HMS once too, right? The battle of Latakia gulf never happened either, right? The battle of Baltim never happened, right? The battle of Tartus never happened, right? INS Hanit has never ever been hit by anything, right? And the whole development of Gabriel mark 1, 2, 3 and 4 was never ever justified.

That is the middle east. Shall we move a bit further and continue?

So, the Indian navy never ever sunk Khaibar (again, an ex-HMS). Never damaged any other Pakistani ships either, right?

Or let's look at good old Harpoon, right. It has MORE kills when launched from missile boats (because of Iran using it in the Iran/Iraq war) than from the air.

If anything, in terms of effectiveness and hit ratio ship-to-ship missiles when used have proved to be significantly more effective than air-to-ship ones. Their range nowdays is such that there is bugger all difference between them launched by ship or air - the stand-off distance is in the hundreds of miles.

Virgin Galactic and Boom unveil Concorde 2.0 tester to restart supersonic travel

Re: Wheels in the Wings Design Flaw

That's the speed of the aeroplane, not the metal strip.

Bingo.

None of the engines on Concorde were ever actually on fire

I never said they themselves were on fire. I said they set it on fire.

The afterburner exhaust setting the leaking fuel on fire was the initial conclusion of the investigation.

While short from electrics and the flameout (which you mention) have been raised as a possible cause as well later on, neither was proven so the afterburner setting it on fire has always remained as one of the probable causes.

Re: No overland

Waaaaaaaaaaaait a second.

Everywhere I see Boom mentions 9000nm refueled/4500 unrefueled.

WTF is refueled? Where? How? Are we talking about landing or they have gone off the deep end looking to do in-air passenger aircraft refueling

There is a fairly limited number of options to land for a refueling stop in the Pacific between Sydney and Hawaii and practically none between LA and Japan unless you fly around the Pacific rim instead of direct. That kinda limits what this aircraft can be used for.

Re: Wheels in the Wings Design Flaw

Relative loads were very different.

Sorry dude, you have failed to grok the root cause and the actual design flaw.

What happened to the Concorde at Charles De Gaulle could have happen to any aircraft. The difference between 200kt and 150kt is minimal - a piece of hardened steel bouncing of a wheel will puncture the tank in either case.

The difference is the aftermath. Due to the way the engines are positioned on the Concorde the whole wing caught fire because the leaking fuel went straight into the afterburner exhaust. The exhaust temperature of a normal non-afterburning turbofan even cranked to max is usually too low to set jet fuel on fire. There is a whole raft of aircraft incidents with fuel leaks out of wings, not one of them caught fire. Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Transat_Flight_236 - the leak was out of the engine itself. That would have killed a Concorde there and then. Do not even get me started on oil and hydraulic fuel leaks. If you walk around budget airline craft on an airfield - half of them have traces of these. Once again - some of these would have set a Concorde on fire.

This is the main reason why they were taken out of circulation - no matter how you armor fuel tanks and lines, shit happens - fuel leaks, oil leaks, hydraulic fluid leaks - they all can burn. This is why an afterburning engine is a no-go for civil aviation - it will set that on fire straight away.

This is what makes this new supersonic aircraft interesting - it is claimed to be non-afterburning. If it is non-afterburning on takeoff it will succeed where Concorde failed regardless of how small is its undercarriage and what level of armor does it have on its fuel tanks.

Re: No overland

So, no chance in a Sydney to London.

In theory - that route is 70%+ over water and the rest over deserts where you can negotiate to remain hypersonic too so doable. The only slow stretch is the first 45 minutes over France.

In practice - 10h vs 24 hours stops making a lot of difference - you lose a day. That is different from 10h vs 3h (especially flying west) - you do not lose a business day and this is what Concorde passengers were actually paying for.

Re: Wheels in the Wings Design Flaw

That is valid for all aircraft. Your basic village bus 320 has the tanks in the wings too.

The latter is a humongous raw data dump taken off a device which you cannot make sense of without running FFT and/or convolutions on it and relating it to other experimental data such as which f*** crystal did you put in the f*** spectrometer at the time. Sometimes, a few pints in The Eagle are required (so you get your head spinning in such a helical manner that you get a Nobel Prize as a result).

In any case - I can bet that you wrote that without ever seeing a diffraction picture in your life. I suggest before you write s*** like this next time you have a look at this:

and tell me if you can discern the DNA structure out it by just being a "Chinese hacker looking at it". If you can a Nobel Prize awaits you.

This is by th the way the difference between scientific and personal or business data - advanced scientific data is naturally secure through its obscurity as it CANNOT be comprehended by an obeze lump in mama's basement.

Actually not even science fiction. Just fiction.

You are slightly missing the point

I am going to dust off my Chemistry hat and put it on. It is a bit tattered after 20 years not in use, but still does the job.

So, with my Chemistry hat on, can you explain me who will successfully make something out of my raw NMR, Spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, etc data.

Even if I put my even dustier molecular biology hat on, while the raw data there is less obscure format-wise (it is usually just spreadsheets), unless you know what it is comprehending it is like trying to figure out hieroglyphics without having the Rosetta stone to start off with.

Also, if it is REALLY cutting edge stuff, there are probably 10-odd people around the world which can make something out of your data and every single one of them _WILL_ send it back to you. That is how academia works.

If there is any case where security through obscurity works it is advanced scientific data. Everyone but a select few "opponents" (which will return it to you anyway) will say: WTF, this is gobblygook and wipe it.

Also, I have some doubts about the feasibility of idea of saving raw data on a "shared drive" or using a shared "enterprise" backup system exclusively. The guy suggesting it has no clue of the amount of raw data which can be generated by some instruments (NMR comes to mind).

Re: And theres the deficit

There is no value to a lender to encourage a borrower to borrow more.

Correct in the world of finance.

Not so correct in the word of politics, especially if you are taking a very long term view. As an example, one of the (usually not discussed) real reasons for the Soviet Block downfall was that in the late 70-es the countries were allowed to start borrowing based on projected GDP, not actual. So borrowing more money became as simple as declaring the next 5 year plan to produce 7% annual growth (yeah, bollocks). The west took upon the opportunity with glee and as a result by mid-80-es the whole Soviet block was so deeply in debt that it could not fulfill its interest payments. The rest as they say... is history.

Re: You can reduce/eliminate the risk yourself

In addition to hourly/incremental you need a daily or less frequent backup which becomes inaccessible for a reasonable amount of time until media reuse.

This way, even if ransomware wipes your online/connected backup media you can still recover after that.

All of this stops working after 20+ clients though. When you have 20+ clients you can miss a single Typhoid Mary reconnecting them after a quarantine and you are back to square one. There you definitely need some fine grained control over your network and ability to quarantine clients until you have dealt with them.

Bollocks

businesses need to implement reliable, up-to-date information security solutions

No security solution will prevent a previously unknown threat hitting a new zero day. No security solution will prevent you from an idiot with permissions (which unfortunately is a standard SMB use case where director level people have access to everything and insist on it).

Backups, however, especially backups "in-depth" going back a few months will. A ransomware attack on SMB is no different from a catastrophic failure of a hard disk and/or data corruption failure from let's say bad RAM. You can recover from both if you pull a backup. You cannot recover from a catastrophic failure using a "security solution".

This is different from large buisiness/organization - there ransomware hits 100s of machines and backups alone do not cut it as a protective measure.

Re: Basic misunderstanding how law firm works

Basic misunderstanding of how AI works.

Basic misunderstanding of how the legal system works, especially in countries which do not have a deterministic law system (aka Napoleonic law) - USA, UK and most of Commonwealth.

You have on average at least 5 possible ways to argue a point in court. Some of them are contradictory too. The AI can dig up the points of law and precedents, prepare you the alternative arguments and do all the preparatory work. This is what paralegals, clerks, trainees and junior partners do in a law firm.

You still need a human to chose out of these 5 strategies which one to apply as this depends on jury, judge and god knows what else. This is what determines a good experienced lawyer - he does not just argue the points of law (a graduate can do it). He also determines which ones to raise and which ones to skim over for this particular court - it is not just "law" - it is also strategy in a "game" which involves dealing with humans based on a guesswork assumption of the way they will perceive an argument.

We are still decades away from an AI being able to do that as this means AI being able to assess human emotions and predict them (something tough even for humans).

Basic misunderstanding how law firm works

The AI is not going to kill the real lawyer jobs (the ones which have passed the bar exam and are allowed to argue a case in court).

Now paralegals, filing clerks, etc - all the small cogs which make a legal shop work are a different story. They do have something to worry about.

Britain must send its F-35s to Italy for heavy overhauls, decrees US

For the time being Turkey and Italy are in NATO and so are most countries you need to overfly to get to them.

So this should work... For the time being...

Though to be honest, the spread of the supply chain across such a wide geography does not bring confidence that parts will be available when they are most needed - during wartime.

Also, what do you do if you need to overhaul one stationed at let's say Port Stanley? Haul it all the way around the world to Italy? Or even more likely - disassemble, load it into a container and send to Italy. That would have been funny if it was on a comedy show.

Re: Turkey is a godforsaken corrupt shithole

Beko stuff that's prone

Yep. A couple of models. Shit happens. So are others manufacturers in any case.

Re: Turkey is a godforsaken corrupt shithole

Turkey is a major manufacturing site.

It builds anything and everything from plastic food boxes (some of the best ones by the way), trhough white goods (Beko), through power tools (RTR), Ford and Renault vehicles to F16s and long range cruise missiles.

They had some major quality issues with the first manufacturing sites 20 years ago. Renault Clio Mark 2 built by Turks was a complete and unmitigated disaster. That is in the past.

While some of the stuff Turkey builds today (like Beko) is not the latest and greatest it has a better build quality and reliability record than most of what is built and assembled in the UK nowdays.

In any case, a place which builds long range cruise missiles and F16s should not have an issue with taking a contract to overhaul a piece of a modern fighter jet.

Re: Widow Maker

Given the F16 still holds it's own in anything we've thrown at it recently I suspect the best option would have been to ask MD to build us another 200 F16s.

You do not need to ask anyone. Turkey builds them and exports them under license and the licensed build is fully certified for NATO procurement too. They are the most updated design too (much better than what NL has at present). You also get (potentially) some of their new weapons as options in the process.

A side effect of Erdogan's "Restoration of the Turkish Empire" complex is a set of missiles which vastly exceed in range and operational capability anything USA was willing to export. All of that integrated to the local version of F-16 (they are certifying that one for F35 too by the way): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOM_%28missile%29

Re: TNT

That reads like multiple of bollocks.

As some others have noted benzene nitrates to 1, 2 or 3 nitrobenzene. Nothing to do with TNT.

If you are nitrating toluene you need to keep it cool because of the bit that they do not teach you in the school chemistry course - that most reactions are imperfect.

This is covered in most university chemical synthesis courses: Instead of taking the nitro groups at "perfect" 2, 4 and 6, nitration of tolene results significant contamination of isomers which are nitrated at 5 and 3. Especially at increased temperatures. These are unstable and can cause spontaneous combustion in the end product.

This is also the reason why you will never find TNT in a DIY explosive "bible" - if you try to produce it outside an industrial environment (and subject to appropriate purification) the results will suck. There is plenty of other stuff which is much easier to produce and is significantly more effective.
