Google Can't Completely Kick Location-Snooping Lawsuit
Although U.S. District Judge Edward Davila dismissed claims brought under California privacy laws without leave to amend, he gave plaintiffs another shot at pleading their claims that Google violated users' right to privacy under the state's constitution.
Ross Todd
Editor/columnist
The original version of this story was published on The Recorder
A federal judge in San Jose has found that plaintiffs haven't yet shown that Google ran afoul of California privacy laws by storing geolocation data for people using its mobile apps who had turned off "location history" on their mobile devices.
Google was hit with a class action lawsuit last summer bringing claims under the California Invasion of Privacy Act, or CIPA, and the state's constitutional right to privacy. The suit came in the wake of reporting by The Associated Press that Google stored the locations of people using its apps on Android and Apple devices despite the fact that they had turned off the devices' "location history" function. The suit maintained that Google's collection and storage of location data was "against the express wishes and expectations of its users."

Husband In Court 18 Years After Toni Bachman's Disappearance
By Esme Murphy April 8, 2015 at 5:55 pm
Filed Under:Arrest, Esme Murphy, Missing, Missing Person, Missing Woman, Norman Bachman, Ramsey County Attorney's Office, Toni Bachman, White Bear Township
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A Twin Cities man is charged with murder in the unsolved disappearance of his wife nearly 20 years ago.
Toni Bachman vanished in 1997, and investigators have considered her husband, Norman, a suspect from the start.
They've searched the couple's former house in White Bear Township several times, including just three years ago.
But Toni Bachman's body has never been found, and it was unclear if her family would ever have justice until officers arrested her husband Tuesday night. He was in court on Wednesday.
Surprisingly, there is no newly discovered evidence mentioned in the criminal complaint (viewable here), but what is clear is that prosecutors have a large amount of incriminating circumstantial evidence.
In the spring of 1997, the Bachmans' marriage was falling apart. Toni was having an online relationship with another man, and she had told Norman she wanted a divorce.
The initial search of the home 18 years ago found blood stains scattered around the basement, as well as fragments of muscle and fat tissue. The samples matched Toni's DNA profile.
Norman always denied his involvement, and while the Ramsey County Attorney's Office considered filing charges before, they decided they did not have enough evidence.
Investigators reopened the case in 2012.
"This is not an easy case," Ramsey County Attorney John Choi said. "However, we believe we can prove this case beyond a reasonable doubt."
The complaint quotes one of Norman's sons as saying that his father once confessed to murdering his mother but that no one would be able to prove it.
Toni's brother Tim Reineccius was in court for his former brother-in-law's brief appearance Wednesday.
"There have been some long days, some hard days," he said. "Hopefully, this is the next step in the progression to finality."
Reineccius said he always suspected Norman and that seeing him in custody is satisfying, but it is difficult not to know how his sister died.
"I know where my father's buried, I know where my mother's remains are," he said. "I know where Toni's unborn son's remains are. I need the rest."
The year after Toni disappeared, Bachman pleaded guilty to raping a girlfriend and served five years in prison.
He's back in jail now in lieu of $250,000 bail.
Years Of Evidence
Choi, the Ramsey County Attorney, didn't specify why he was trying the case now, despite a lack of new evidence. He responded to reporters' questions that after reviewing the case, he believes he has enough evidence to win.
The lengthy criminal complaint against Norman runs to 21 pages. You can view the full report here. Beyond the blood in the Bachman family cellar, here is some of the other circumstantial evidence against Norman included in the criminal complaint:
The primary evidence is Toni's blood. Her blood was found on the cellar floor, doorknob, screen door, by the chest freezer and on a bed sheet stuffed between a mattress and bed frame. Blood was also found on the side of Norman's pickup truck, but the DNA was too degraded to make an identification.
In a car trip to Verndale shortly after Toni's disappearance, several children remembered there being a cooler in the back of the car and a strange odor in the front. Norman denies there were coolers in the car.
Toni's 12-year-old son told police he heard Norman scream the night she disappeared. He initially attributed the scream to her lancing a boil. Seven months later he told police that he thought Norman had killed his mother and that the house smelled "bitter and awkward" afterward.
In 2003, another son, then 16, said he saw Norman enter the bedroom with an Exacto knife and heard a muffled sound, "like someone trying to say something from under a pillow." A few days after Toni's disappearance, Norman told him that she had called, but the son didn't see the number on the caller ID.
Prosecutors will try to show that Toni had no immediate intention of disappearing. In the week before she disappeared, she accepted a new job at Hamline University, applied for a parking pass and ordered a desk calendar, a keyboard pad and other office supplies. Emails and chat room messages show that she did not plan on moving anytime in the near future.
Toni wrote in emails to a man she was seeing that Norman was "threatening me with stuff."

SimShine raises $8 million for home security cameras that use edge computing – gpgmail
September 10, 2019 administrator Asia, cheetah mobile, China, edge computing, Fundings & Exits, Gadgets, home security camera, SimCam, SimShine, Startups, TC
SimShine, a computer vision startup based in Shenzhen, has raised $8 million in pre-Series A funding for SimCam, its line of home security cameras that use edge computing to keep data on-device. The funding was led by Cheetah Mobile, with participation from Skychee, Skyview Fund and Oak Pacific Investment.
Earlier this year, SimShine raised $310,095 in a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. It will use its pre-Series A round for product development and hiring.
SimShine's team started off developing computer vision and edge computing software, spending five years working with enterprise clients before launching SimCam.
The company plans to release more smart home products that use edge computing with the ultimate goal of building a IoT platform to connect different devices, co-founder and chief marketing officer Joe Pham tells gpgmail. SimCam currently integrates with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, with support for Apple Homekit in the works.
Pham says edge computing protects users' privacy by keeping data, including face recognition data, on device, while also decreasing latency and false alarms, because calculations are performed continuously on the device (cameras connect to Wi-Fi so customers can watch surveillance video on their smartphones). It also means customers don't have to sign up for the subscription plans that many cloud-based home security cameras require and reduces the price of each device since SimCam does not have to maintain cloud servers.

Jack Ma officially retires as Alibaba's chairman – gpgmail
September 9, 2019 administrator alibaba group, China, eCommerce, jack ma, TC
Jack Ma stepped down as Alibaba's chairman today, handing the role over to the company's current CEO Daniel Zhang. The transition was announced a year ago.
Ma will continue serving on Alibaba's board until its annual general shareholders' meeting next year. He also remains a lifetime partner of Alibaba Partnership, a group drawn from the senior management ranks of Alibaba Group companies and affiliates that has the right to nominate (and in some situations, appoint) up to simple majority of its board.
Ma said in last year's announcement that he plans for his departure from Alibaba Group to be very gradual: "The one thing I can promise everyone is this: Alibaba was never about Jack Ma, but Jack Ma will forever belong to Alibaba."
Ma left Alibaba's CEO position in 2013 and was succeeded first by Jonathan Lu. In 2015 Lu was replaced by Zhang, the company's former COO. As its CEO and now its chairman, Zhang has taken Alibaba's reins as it copes with a slowdown in China's e-commerce market after a decade of explosive growth. The online retail landscape also now includes new players like Pinduoduo, which have gained an advantage by focusing on smaller cities, important growth markets for Internet companies.
One interesting fact about the day Ma chose for his retirement as chairman is that it is Teachers' Day in China. Ma is a former English teacher who is still nicknamed "Teacher Ma" and has said that he plans to devote time to education philanthropy.

American tariffs are having a bigger impact on U.S.-based Amazon vendors than their competitors in China, according to SellerMotor – gpgmail
September 8, 2019 administrator China, SellerMotor, Tariffs, TC, Trade war, u.s.
The series of tariffs imposed by the United States on Chinese goods has impacted both U.S. and China-based Amazon vendors, but U.S. sellers are taking a bigger hit to their sales, according to data from cross-border e-commerce analytics company SellerMotor. The gap has widened since the round of tariffs on Chinese goods announced in the summer of 2018 by the Trump administration.
Founded in 2016, SellerMotor provides data and ad analytics about Amazon and an automation platform for sellers. For its research, the company analyzes data from 568 million SKUs, or almost all the active products and brands on Amazon's U.S. site.
For this particular data set, SellerMotor analyzed 480,000 SKUs from Chinese sellers and 17.9 million from U.S. sellers.
In July 2018, a U.S. tariff on $34 billion in Chinese goods went into effect. That month, Chinese vendors' sales grew 174% year-over-year, while U.S. sellers saw a 124% increase. As the tariff war between China and the U.S. intensified that summer, however, U.S. and China-based both sellers saw their growth stall, with U.S. sellers coping with a bigger impact, as shown in the graph below from SellerMotor. In September 2018, when the U.S. placed a 25% tariff on $50 billion in Chinese goods, plus a 10% tariff on $200 billion in Chinese goods, U.S. sellers saw their year-over-year sales growth slow down to 54%, compared Chinese sellers' sales growth of 111%.
According to SellerMotor's data, U.S.-based Amazon sellers have seen their year-over-year monthly sales decrease every month since November 2018. By March 2019, when a 25% tariff was placed on $250 billion in Chinese goods, Chinese vendors' year-over-year sales grew by 61%, but U.S. sellers saw their sales decrease by 3%.
While many U.S.-based Amazon sellers also get their supplies from China, Chinese sellers have better control over their supply chain and closer relationships with their suppliers (in some cases, even equity partnerships), allowing them more flexibility, SellerMotor COO Sibao Chen tells gpgmail. These deeper ties give vendors the leeway to negotiate things like smaller batches of products when necessary. As the tariff war forces smaller competitors out of the market, having more control over the supply chain lets these sellers quickly step into the gaps they leave behind. "Whoever is quick to grab these fragments will become even larger in size, because the market is there and that can help with growth momentum for the largest companies," Chen says.
Chen adds that the way many Chinese e-commerce sellers organize their operations may also give them an edge over U.S. sellers. The company currently has about 60,000 clients in China and launched in the U.S. in June.
"I have been talking to a lot of U.S. and Chinese clients and the way that these Chinese clients are organized is that usually for each product group. So if there is an electronics company selling iPhone charging cables and also headsets, each of these product groups would probably have two to five people running the thing, like a mini-company, and they are organized, incentivized and almost completely independent within their group and given a lot of autonomy," Chen says. "This is a very common form of organization within the Chinese retail and e-commerce industry and this is something we believe could have given them an edge in terms of the speed that they react to external impacts such as the tariffs."

Alibaba acquires NetEase Kaola in deal worth $2 billion – gpgmail
September 5, 2019 administrator alibaba, China, cross-border e-commerce, E-commerce, Fundings & Exits, Kaola, netease, TC, Tmall, Tmall Global
Alibaba Group said today it has acquired NetEase Kaola for $2 billion and will integrate it into Tmall, creating the largest cross-border e-commerce platform in China. The announcement follows weeks of media reports about a potential deal, which was said to have stalled in the middle of August after the companies reportedly disagreed on transaction details.
Tmall Import and Export general manager Alvin Liu has been named as Kaola's new CEO, replacing Zhang Lei, but Kaola will continue to operate independently under its own brand.
Tmall Global and Kaola are China's largest and second-largest cross-border e-commerce platforms, respectively, holding 31.7% and 24.5% of the market, and their union means they will create a business that will far outstrip in size rivals like JD Worldwide, VIP International and Amazon China.
Alibaba and Yunfeng, the investment firm launched by Alibaba founder Jack Ma, also agreed to invest $700 million into NetEase Cloud Music's latest funding round. This will give Alibaba a minority stake in the streaming music service, with NetEase remaining its controlling shareholder.
In a press release, NetEase CEO William Ding said "We are pleased to have found a strategic fit for Kaola within Alibaba's extensive ecosystem, where Kaola will continue to provide Chinese consumers with high-quality import products and services. At the same time, the completion of this strategic transaction will allow NetEase to focus on its growth strategy, investing in markets that allow us to best leverage our competitive advantages."
Daniel Zhang, Alibaba Group's CEO, said "Alibaba is confidence about the future of China's import e-commerce market, which we believe remains in its infancy with great growth potential."

To win India's next 200 million internet users, e-commerce giant Flipkart wants to speak their language
Flipkart, the largest e-commerce platform in India, said Tuesday it has concluded the roll-out of a range of features to its shopping app in what is its biggest update in recent years.
Chief among these new features is access to Flipkart in Hindi language. Prior to the revamp of the app, Flipkart was available only in English, a language spoken by 10% of India's 1.3 billion population.
Flipkart says it is hoping that the new features, which includes a video streaming service, would help it reach the next 200 million users in India.
The major bet on Hindi, a language spoken by more than 500 million people in India, illustrates a growing push from local and international companies operating in the country as they adapt their services and business models to go beyond the urban cities.
And that's where much of the opportunity, which countless startups and companies have trumpeted to investors to successfully raise hundreds of millions of dollars in debt and venture capital in recent years, lies in the nation.

Porsche unveils the $150,900 Taycan Turbo electric sedan – gpgmail
September 4, 2019 administrator Automotive, Canada, cars, ceo, China, Germany, Porsche, sports cars, TC, Volkswagen Group
Porsche has poured more than $1 billion into the development of its first all-electric vehicle, a sleek four-door specimen that marks the beginning of a new chapter for the German automaker and its biggest bet in more than a generation.
On Wednesday, in three simultaneous events in Canada, China and Germany, Porsche finally introduced the world to the vehicle that has been more than four years in the making. gpgmail was on hand for the reveal in Canada, a splashy event, held in a building erected just for the occasion on the edge of Niagara Falls. It was here that Porsche showed off not one, but two flavors of the Taycan.
Behold, the Porsche Taycan Turbo S and Porsche Taycan Turbo, two electric machines with the styling, power and performance one would expect from the German automaker. Oh, and range between 250 and 280 miles, depending on the variant.
Both of these Taycans fall into the more expensive, more powerful category of its upcoming portfolio with base prices of $185,000 and $150,900, respectively.
All three Porsche Taycan events were staged near renewable energy installments — hydropower at Niagara Falls in Canada, solar in Neuhardenberg near Berlin and a wind farm on Pingtan Island, less than a mile from the Chinese city of Fuzhou — a physical symbol of Porsche's move to electrification.
"The Taycan stands for the change necessary for Porsche to remain Porsche," Detlev Von Platen, Porsche AG board member of sales and marketing said during the presentation.
And it's not stopping at the Taycan. By 2025, half of all Porsche vehicles will be electrified, according to Von Platen.
Less powerful variants (and therefore less expensive) of these all-wheel drive vehicles will follow this year, and the first derivative to be added will be the Taycan Cross Turismo at the end of 2020.
The Taycan may represent a new direction for the automaker, but there's still no mistaking this electric vehicle for a Porsche. The Taycan has a big and low stance with a body line that still looks and feels like a Porsche. Bigger than a 911 and smaller than a Panamera, the body of the Taycan is wide and flat with contoured wings and a sporty roof that slopes down to the sharply emphasized and classic Porsche rear.
Inside is the good stuff. Both the Porsche Taycan Turbo S and Porsche Taycan Turbo are outfitted with two electric motors, one on the front axle and one on the rear axle, a two-speed transmission installed on the rear axle, and an 800-volt architecture — the same technology that helped the company's 919 Hybrid win the 24 Hours of Le Mans three times in a row.
The interior of the Taycan, which was revealed last month, includes a sleek all-digital dashboard clearly inspired by the 1963 Porsche 911.
Now to the power. The flagship Turbo S version of the Taycan can generate up to 750 horsepower (560 kW) of power in combination with "launch control" and overboost features that translate into accelerating from zero to 60 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds. The Taycan Turbo can produce up to 670 horsepower (500 kW), allowing it to go from a standstill to 60 mph in 3 seconds. Both vehicles have a top track speed of 161 mph.
The Taycan is ready for the race track," Stefan Weckbach, vice president of the Taycan and Porsche Battery Electric Vehicle Product Line said during the event Wednesday.
And then there's the 800 volt system, double the more commonly used 400 volt architecture found in other electric vehicles. The 800-volt system allows the Taycan to charge from 5% to 80% in 22.5 minutes with a maximum charging power of up to 270 kw. The vehicle's 800-volt system will allow the Taycan to add 62 miles of charge in a snappy 5 minutes, Weckbach said.
The overall capacity of the 800V high voltage battery is 93.4 kWh. Porsche is throwing in three years of free charging at hundreds of Electrify America public stations that will blanket the U.S. in the coming months.
The EPA range estimate for North American market is pending for both vehicles. Under Europe's WLTP estimates, the Turbo S can travel 256 miles on a single charge, while the Turbo has a range of 280 miles.

Alibaba reportedly near finalizing a deal to acquire NetEase's cross-border e-commerce unit – gpgmail
September 4, 2019 administrator alibaba, China, cross-border e-commerce, E-commerce, Kaola, netease, TC, Tmall Global
After weeks of media reports, Alibaba may finally be nearing an agreement to acquire NetEase's cross-border e-commerce unit, Kaola. Chinese tech news website 36kr reports that a deal may be announced as early as this week and is expected to be worth $2 billion in cash and shares.
Kaola will continue to run independently, but would become part of Alibaba's Tmall Global, creating a massive cross-border e-commerce business. At the end of last year, Tmall Global held a 31.7% share of the market, while Kaola had about 24.5%, much larger than rivals JD Worldwide (11.5%), VIP International (9.7%), Amazon (6%).
Caixin Global first reported that Alibaba was planning to acquire Kaola for $2 billion in cash on August 15, but then the deal was reportedly called off after the companies disagreed on the price and other details.
36kr reports that Kaola employee stock options will be converted into Alibaba shares and that even though the brand will remain independent, Alibaba will put a new CEO in place, replacing current Kaola head Zhang Lei.
An Alibaba spokesperson said the company does not comment on market rumors. NetEase had no comment.
Alibaba is also expected to invest in NetEast Cloud Music, but that deal is unrelated to the Kaola acquisition.

How Zhihu's become one of China's biggest hubs for experts – gpgmail

Zhihu may not be as well known outside of China as WeChat or ByteDance's Douyin, but over the past eight years, it has cultivated a reputation for being one of the country's most trustworthy social media platforms. Originally launched as a question-and-answer site similar to Quora, Zhihu has grown to be a central hub for professional knowledge, allowing users to interact with experts and companies in a wide range of industries.
Headquartered in Beijing, Zhihu recently raised a $434 million Series F, its biggest round since 2011. The funding also brought Zhihu two important new partners: video and live-streaming app Beijing Kuaishou, which led the round, and Baidu, owner of China's largest search engine (other participants in the round included Tencent and CapitalToday).
Launched in 2011, Zhihu (the name means "do you know") is most frequently compared to Quora and Yahoo Answers. While it resembled those Q&A platforms at first, it has grown in scope. Now it would be more accurate to say that the platform is like a combination of Quora, LinkedIn and Medium's subscription program.
For example, Zhihu has an invitation-only blogging platform for verified experts and since launching official accounts, it has become a channel for companies and organizations to communicate with users. A representative for Zhihu told gpgmail that the platform had 220 million users and 30,000 official accounts as of January 2019 (for context, there are currently about 800 million Internet users in China), who have posted a total of 130 million answers so far.
The company's growth will be closely watched since Zhihu is reportedly preparing for an initial public offering. Last November, the company hired its first chief financial officer, Sun Wei, heightening speculation. A representative for the company told gpgmail the position was created because of Zhihu's business development needs and that there is currently no timeline for a public listing.
At the same time, the company has also dealt with reports that its growth has slowed.

WeChat restricts controversial video face-swapping app Zao, citing "security risks" – gpgmail
September 2, 2019 administrator apps, China, deepfakes, face swapping, Startups, TC, Tencent, WeChat, weixin, Zao
Zao went viral in China this weekend for its realistic face-swapping videos, but after controversy about its policies, WeChat restricted access to the app on its messaging platform.
Developed by a unit of Momo, one of China's most popular dating apps, Zao creates videos that replace the faces of celebrities in scenes from popular movies, shows and music videos with a selfie uploaded by the user.
The app, currently available only in China, went viral as users shared their videos through WeChat and other social media platforms in China. But concerns about the potential misuse of deepfake technology coupled with a clause (now deleted) in Zao's terms of use that gave it full ownership and copyright to content uploaded or created on it, in addition to "completely free, irrevocable, perpetual, transferrable, and re-licensable rights," caused controversy.
In case you haven't heard, #ZAO is a Chinese app which completely blew up since Friday. Best application of 'Deepfake'-style AI facial replacement I've ever seen.
Here's an example of me as DiCaprio (generated in under 8 secs from that one photo in the thumbnail) 🤯 pic.twitter.com/1RpnJJ3wgT
— Allan Xia (@AllanXia) September 1, 2019
By going viral quickly and being very easy to use (Zao's videos can be generated from a single selfie, though it suggests that users upload photos from several angles for better results), the app has also focused more attention on deepfake technology and how it can potentially be used to spread misinformation or harass people.
Users can still upload videos they created with Zao to WeChat, but if they try to download the app or send an invite link to another WeChat user, a message is displayed that says "this web page has been reported multiple times and contains security risks. To maintain a safe online environment, access to this page has been blocked."
Zao was released last Friday and quickly became the top free iOS app in China, according to App Annie. A statement posted on Sept. 1 to Zao's Weibo account says "we completely understand everybody's concerns about the privacy issue. We are aware of the issue and we are thinking about how to fix the problems, we need a little time." Its terms and conditions now say user-generated content will only be used by the company to improve the app and that all deleted content will be removed from its servers.
gpgmail has contacted Zao for comment.

Sources say China used iPhone hacks to target Uyghur Muslims – gpgmail
August 31, 2019 administrator Apple, Beijing, China, Google, google search, iphone, mobile phones, religious, Security
A number of malicious websites used to hack into iPhones over a two-year period were targeting Uyghur Muslims, gpgmail has learned.
Sources familiar with the matter said the websites were part of a state-backed attack — likely China — designed to target the Uyghur community in the country's Xinjiang state.
It's part of the latest effort by the Chinese government to crack down on the minority Muslim community in recent history. In the past year, Beijing has detained more than a million Uyghurs in internment camps, according to a United Nations human rights committee.
Google security researchers found and recently disclosed the malicious websites this week, but until now it wasn't known who they were targeting.
The websites were part of a campaign to target the religious group by infecting an iPhone with malicious code simply by visiting a booby-trapped web page. In gaining unfettered access to the iPhone's software, an attacker could read a victim's messages, passwords, and track their location in near-real time.
Apple fixed the vulnerabilities in February in iOS 12.1.4, days after Google privately disclosed the flaws. News of the hacking campaign was first disclosed by this week.
These websites had "thousands of visitors" per week for at least two years, Google said.
Victims were tricked into opening a link, which when opened would load one of the malicious websites used to infect the victim. It's a common tactic to target phone owners with spyware.
One of the sources told gpgmail the websites inadvertently infected iPhone users not intended to be targeted, prompting the FBI to alert Google to ask for the site to be removed from its index to prevent infections, they added.
A Google spokesperson would not comment beyond the published research. A FBI spokesperson said they could neither confirm nor deny any investigation, and did not comment further.
Google faced some criticism following its bombshell report for not releasing the websites used in the attacks. The researchers said the attacks were "indiscriminate watering hole attacks" with "no target discrimination," noting that anyone visiting the site would have their iPhone hacked.
But the company would not say who was behind the attacks.
Apple did not comment. An email requesting comment to the Chinese consulate in New York was unreturned.

Le  était un instrument de la monarchie constitutionnelle, qui consistait à faire nommer par le souverain un grand nombre de nouveaux représentants dans la chambre haute (aussi appelée chambre des pairs) afin de faire basculer la majorité en sa faveur.

Contexte
Lors du  apparaissent des parlements bicaméraux dans de nombreux pays. La chambre basse est en général constituée de représentants du peuple, tandis que la chambre haute est constituée de nobles ou de représentants de ceux-ci. Les nobles de haut rang avaient souvent un siège héréditaire. En Allemagne de nombreux nobles médiatisés étaient dans ce cas. En effet avec la chute du saint empire, de nombreux nobles n'avaient plus de territoires propres et ont dû être indemnisés de la sorte. Parallèlement le souverain conservait la possibilité de nommer de nouveaux membres dans la chambre haute. Cela lui permettait d'influencer la majorité dans cette chambre.

Les monarchies dans la confédération germanique
Des suites de la révolution de juillet, de nombreux monarques allemands firent usage du  afin de sécuriser leur majorité au sein des chambres hautes. Par exemple  l'édit du   dans le Duché de Nassau.

En 1860, la Prusse de Guillaume I utilisa également cette méthode. Ainsi dans la chambre des seigneurs de Prusse la part de membres nommés passa de 11 % en 1860 à  30 % en 1914.

HP last week introduced its third-generation HP Z1 all-in-one workstation. The new system offers higher performance than its predecessor as well as a 4K resolution display. The new Z1 is also significantly more compact compared to prior two generations of HP's Z1 machines, but retains upgradeablility and a serviceable design. In a bid to make the system smaller and slimmer, HP had to shrink the size of the display and move to a purely M.2/2.5-inch storage platform.
The HP Z1 G3 AIO workstation features 23.6" IPS display panel with 4K (3840×2160) resolution at a 60 Hz refresh rate, a rated 300 nits maximum brightness, 1000:1 contrast ratio as well as 178°/178° horizontal/vertical viewing angles. For comparison, the first and the second generations of HP's Z1 featured 27" monitors with 2560×1440 resolution, but with the new incarnation of its AIO workstation the company preferred to install a smaller display panel to make the system more compact, increasing the PPI from 108.8 to 186.7.
1 x mSATA SSD 2 x 2.5"
The new HP Z1 G3 is based on the Intel Xeon E3 v5/Core i3/i5/i7-series (Skylake) processorsas well as the Intel C236 PCH (platform controller hub). The new AIO workstation can be equipped with up to 64 GB of DDR4-2133 SO-DIMM memory (ECC is supported only by the Xeon and the Core i3 CPUs), up from 32 GB of DDR3 supported by the previous-gen model. The graphics sub-system of the new HP Z1 G3 relies on either Intel's HD Graphics 530/P530 cores (Gen 9, 24 EUs), NVIDIA's Quadro M1000M 2 GB (512 stream processors) or M2000M 4 GB (640 stream processors) professional graphics adapters. Since the predecessors of HP's Z1 G3 relied on low-power professional graphics adapters from NVIDIA in MXM 3.1 form-factor, it is not surprising that the company decided to install similar cards this time.
Storage in the HP Z1 G3 is something that was significantly redesigned compared to previous generations. The new workstation supports up to two 2.5" HDDs or SSDs with SATA 6 Gbps interface as well as up to two HP Z-Turbo Gen 2 NVMe SSDs in the M.2 2280 form-factor and both with PCIe 3.0 x4 interface. As a result, the Z1 G3 has inherently faster storage system than its predecessors (which did not support PCIe 3.0 SSDs), albeit without the opportunity for a large 3.5-inch mechanical. When it comes to storage space, not everything is that easy. HP itself installs SSDs and HDDs with up to 1 TB capacity, hence, it can equip its Z1 G3 machine with up to 4 TB of storage. However, since there are M.2 SSDs and 2.5" HDDs and SSDs with over 1 TB capacities, end-users could install such drives themselves due to tool-less upgrade and maintenance capabilities. Hardware RAID is supported only for 2.5" HDDs and not everything is clear with software RAID for M.2 drives. Moreover, the system no longer has an internal optical drive.
As for input/output capabilities, the new HP Z1 supports two Thunderbolt 3 ports (the number of controllers is unknown, could either be one controller per port or one controller for both) to connect USB-C and TB3 peripherals as well as external displays. There are also six USB 3.0 ports (one supports charging), one SD 4.0 media card reader, a DisplayPort 1.2 connector and a TRRS connector for headsets. Networking and wireless capabilities look standard for today's workstations: one Intel I219LM Gigabit Ethernet controller as well as one Intel 8260 Wi-Fi 802.11ac with Bluetooth 4.2 module (installed into its own M.2 slot, thus, does not impact storage options). The system also has four internal stereo speakers with DTS Studio Sound software enhancement.
HP announced its first-generation Z1 AIO workstation back in early 2012. The machine was based on the Intel Xeon E3 v3 or the Intel Core i3/i5 processors (Ivy Bridge), NVIDIA's mobile Quadro graphics and featured a 27" display panel, an optical drive (or an optional Thunderbolt module) module, desktop-class DDR3 DIMMs, SATA HDDs and so on. The HP Z1 G1 received the first ever 10 out of 10 AIO repairability score from iFixit because it was possible to replace all internal components (even its display panel) fairly easy. The downside of Z1's architecture was its weight and cost. The maximum weight of the system with stand was around 21.3 kilograms and the cost started at $1899. The HP Z1 G2 followed its ancestor in many ways. However, its weight was still around 21.3 kilograms and the price started at $1999.
When designing the third-generation of its Z1 workstations, HP engineers tried to make the system lighter, thinner and more affordable. They decided to go with a smaller (yet, higher-resolution) display panel, SO-DIMMs rather than full-sized memory modules, removed the optical drive and also lost the 3.5" HDD bay. The result is evident: the system weighs 10.51 kilograms and is two times thinner than its predecessors. The cost of the workstation starts at $1498 in its basic configuration, which is lower compared to the Z1 and the Z1 G2. HP advertises tool-less upgrades and maintenance, but it remains to be seen whether the Z1 G3 is as easy to repair as its predecessors.
The HP Z1 workstation will be available from May.
Looking at pictures of the G1 it feels like the bezels were slimmer, and that design was already old(ish) 4 years ago.
Most MIL-810G spec devices have thick bezels...it's basically a requirement to survive the 3 foot x 30 on all sides impact test.
Does the Z1 meet MIL-810G specifications? As far as I know only the ZBooks passed a few of the tests and it's mostly for the marketing guys to sell it as a "fun fact". HP considers it unfit for military use.
And I can tell you for a fact that the Z1 G1 did NOT survive the kind of impact you're talking about. I've seen plenty of cases where people "popped the hood" to show off for others and when closing it back they pushed it off the table with unfortunate consequences.
zBook 14 is based on the elitebook 840, zBook 15u is based on the 850, both 840/850 meet 8 of the 10 criteria for MILSTD 810G, only failing one of the two particle tests and obviously failing submersion, although they have IP44 rating for dust and water resistance. 810G requires IP56 or better. zBook 17 is questionable.
The Z1 meets 4 of the 810G criteria and vibration and impact are two of them. It should have no trouble falling off a table and surviving. The entire frame is magnesium reinforced (the subframe is shown in the photo above) but I agree the bezel is also partially designed that way for the maintenance hinge.


By 2030, China's cities will be home to 1 billion people - one in every eight people on earth. What kind of lives will China's urban billion lead? And what will China's cities be like?
Over the past thirty years, China's urban population expanded by 500 million people, and is on track to swell by a further 300 million by 2030. Hundreds of millions of these new urban residents are rural migrants, who lead second-class lives without access to urban benefits. Even those lucky citizens who live in modern tower blocks must put up with clogged roads, polluted skies and cityscapes of unremitting ugliness. The rapid expansion of urban China is astonishing, but new policies are urgently needed to create healthier cities.
Combining on-the-ground reportage and up-to-date research, this pivotal book explains why China has failed to reap many of the economic and social benefits of urbanization, and suggests how these problems can be resolved. If its leaders get urbanization right, China will surpass the United States and cement its position as the world's largest economy. But if they get it wrong, China could spend the next twenty years languishing in middle-income torpor, its cities pockmarked by giant slums.
Tom Miller is managing editor of the China Economic Quarterly, published by research company GK Dragonomics, and a former Beijing correspondent of the South China Morning Post. Resident in China for more than a decade, Tom lives in Beijing with his wife and two children. This is his first book.
Wade Shepard Looking through the lens of new cities, Ghost Cities of China shows the 'new society' that's being created to live in them.

Mary Allin Travers (* 9. November 1936 in Louisville, Kentucky; † 16. September 2009 in Danbury, Connecticut) war eine US-amerikanische Folksängerin und Singer-Songwriterin. Sie wurde als Mitglied der Gruppe Peter, Paul and Mary bekannt.

Leben
Mary Travers wuchs im New Yorker Stadtteil Greenwich Village auf. Den Zugang zur Folkmusik fand sie durch Pete Seeger, der in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft der Familie Travers lebte. So beteiligte sie sich an einem Album von Seeger und trat mit ihm bei zwei Konzerten in der Carnegie Hall auf. Sie war viermal verheiratet und hat zwei Töchter. Ihr erster Ehemann war der Fotograf Barry Feinstein. In den 1960er Jahren war sie prominentes Mitglied der Bürgerrechtsbewegung. Ihr Engagement galt insbesondere der Einhaltung der Menschenrechte in Lateinamerika und der Abschaffung der Apartheid in Südafrika.

Ihren Durchbruch hatte sie als Mitglied der Folkgruppe Peter, Paul and Mary, die 1961 von dem Impresario Albert Grossman ins Leben gerufen wurde. Mit Peter Yarrow und Noel "Paul" Stookey wurde das Trio zu einer der erfolgreichsten Gruppen der 1960er Jahre und trennte sich 1970 vorübergehend. In dieser Zeit startete Travers ihre Solokarriere und veröffentlichte fünf Alben. 1978 schloss sich die Gruppe wieder zusammen und hatte danach zahlreiche Auftritte und neue Alben.

2004 erkrankte Travers an Leukämie und musste sich mehreren Chemotherapien und Operationen, darunter einer Knochenmarkstransplantation, unterziehen. Ungeachtet dessen trat sie weiterhin mit Peter, Paul and Mary auf. Sie starb am 16. September 2009 in Connecticut an den Folgen ihrer Krankheit.

Q: ko.observableArray() not adding elements I'm trying out KO but have problems getting observableArray to work, the code is very simple
var test = new ko.observableArray();
var regulararray = [];

test.push("item");
regulararray.push("regularpush");
console.log("the length for ko: " + test.length + " the length for regular array: " +    regulararray.length);

For some reason the length of the knockout array is 0 while the regular array length is 1.
Why is this happening?

A: use test().length instead of test.length

best suggestion for Servo Controller ??
I own a small manufacturing company in VT, we make mostly small parts for the medical indusdtry.
I build most of the machines in house to process our products to help keep costs down. I do have a HAAS mini mill but it is dedicated to other projects.
I have and older X3 Syila America cnc machine. It ran under Mach 2 and worked quite well for some of the smaller jobs around the shop.
I want to refit it to run faster so I purchased a 1.5kw spindle, 3 mitsubishi MR 2JS20B drives and matching servos and 1 MR 2JS40A drive and matching servo which can be used for the Z axis. I have all the mechanical done with no problems.
Where I am a bit stuck is which controller would be best for this setup and run well with mach 3 ?
There are sooo many options !! Maybe someone here has done something like this and can point me in the right direction.
Thanks for reading and any help would be greatly appreciated!
Re: best suggestion for Servo Controller ??
Assuming these drives can accept Step/Dir then you have many options including even using the parallel port. Using that however would almost certainly mean you would have to use the electronic gearing in the drives which is not the best approach in my opinion.
Ok on to devices, I use the SmoothStepper on most of my machines and they work well and the Ethernet version has solved many of the noise issues that some people suffered from. One problem however is Step/Dir spindle control with the SS is not perfect, it works well enough but very occasionally the pulse stream seems to be interrupted for a fraction of a second and this is more prevalent if you have a spindle speed override. Greg knows there is a problem and has done for many years but it must be low priority as it has not been dealt with yet. Having said that it still works well and is very usable as long as you dont plan on using spindle override.
The other devices available are the Kflop, Galil, DSPMC which all work well by all accounts but I have never used any of them so cant comment on them from a users perspective.
There is also a relatively new device, or rather series of devices, on the market. They are the CS Labs devices from Poland. I am seriously considering getting the 4 axis ethernet one to use on the small lathe I am retrofitting as they look to be almost perfect for my needs. Things like 24v I/O and differential Step/Dir signals are very important to me and previously I have had to make up my own interfaces to convert from 5v to 24v and vice versa. I just have a few questions to be answered by them such as does it support step/dir spindle yet and also does it do lathe threading. If the answer to these is yes then I think I will be placing an order soon. The lack of step/dir spindle control would be an issue for me as all my spindles are servos and although I can use these drives with analogue inputs the analogue spindle control is, as far as I believe, just 0-10v rather than +-10v. Obviously I could still use the 0to 10v but I would have to make up a relay board to swap the polarity for spindle reversal and its something I would rather I didnt have to do.

These longsleeve shirts are the perfect option for Greeks, beach-goers, and everybody in between. What does ʺgarment-dyedʺ mean, you ask? Don't worry about the details. What it means to you is that the shirt has that distinctive slightly faded look, like you've got it perfectly broken-in. They're super soft and preshrunk, to boot.

Patna: In a bid to regulate private and government hospitals, single-doctor clinics and diagnostic centres in the state, Bihar cabinet recently gave approval to the Bihar Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Rules 2013.
With this, the state is finally going to enforce the Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2010 which was adopted by it in July 2011 but could not be implemented as the rules of the Act were still being framed. One of the major reasons for the delay in framing and implementing the rules was the opposition to the move by a section of doctors including the Indian Medical Association (IMA) and Bihar Health Services Association (BHSA).
The rules are enacted for registration and regulation of the clinical establishments with a view to ensuring minimum standards of facilities and services.
According to the provisions of the Clinical Establishments Act, a clinical establishment, be it ayurvedic, allopathic or homeopathic, has to get it registered and is supposed to maintain records of outpatient, inpatient, operation theatre, labour room, MTP (medical termination of pregnancy), case-sheets, laboratory register, discharge summary, complaint register, number of beds, system-wise and speciality-wise in the establishment, rates of different services etc.
The approved rules also have a provision under which the government will constitute a state council for clinical establishments and the principal secretary of the health department will be the ex-officio chairman of the council. The responsibility of the council would be to compile and update the register of clinical establishments in the state and send monthly returns for updating the national register.
The rules also prescribe the setting up of a registering authority for clinical establishments in each district. The district magistrates would be chairman of the authority. If a person running a private nursing home or clinic violates the provisions of the Act, he or she would be fined with Rs 10,000 for the first offence, Rs 50,000 for the second offence and Rs 5 lakh for any subsequent offence. Any person aggrieved by the authority's decision can appeal to the state council within three months.
"But there is also a downside, The cost of treatment for poor patients could rise as any clinic or centre which is into 24×7 service or not has to stabilize the emergency cases and can't deny treatment, so the infrastructure has to be strengthened and the cost will shoot up. The clause to stabilize the patient should not be imposed on those who are only into consultation services; only those who have the infrastructure should be mandated to follow it," he said.
"Also, the minimum standard approach to be followed for setting up a clinic will further spoil the level playing field as private players would hesitate in opening up clinics in rural areas in a scenario of strict rules and regulations. How can we fulfil the doctor-patient gap this way? When lawyers can do personal practice freely, why can't a doctor? This looks like a half-hearted approach by the government. The vague clauses should be made more transparent," Dr Kumar added.
Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand are some other states that have adopted the CEA-2010 and other states have also been requested by the union government to adopt this Act. As the Act aims to strengthen medical facilities across the states and bring transparency, the question remains how it will be implemented in the letter and spirit when some clauses are still vague and cannot apparently be applied to every clinical establishment?
Any clarity on this issue? It has been months.


Susi Wunsch, publisher of Velojoy: "Pedaling a continuous stretch of road helps build endurance and strength. But thats not easy to find in Manhattan, where the grid of intersections means lots of starts and stops. So riding the Hudson River Greenway on the West Side, or pedaling the Central Park loop are good choices for boosting cycling fitness. The distance from Battery Park at Manhattans southern tip to the Little Red Lighthouse at the northerly reach is a flat 11 miles. Along the route, youll enjoy scenic views of the Hudson River and the George Washington Bridge and a fresh breeze off the water. The full Central Park loop comprises 6.1 miles with a short, challenging hill climb at the north end. Pro tip: Ride early, if you can. It will be cooler and youll avoid the crowds of pedestrians who flood the park on warm spring days."
Samuel Slaton, director of communications for Bike New York: When my 26-mile commute starts to get monotonous, and the Arkansan in me yearns for woods a little wilder than those in Prospect Park, I head out to Wolfes Pond Park on Staten Islands South Shore for some mountain biking. From the Staten Island Ferry, weave your way for 13 miles through suburbia before finally slipping in among the sweetgum, hickory and oak trees of the park. Once youve made it to the trails, the only thing left to do is decide whether youll take it easy on a green, up the ante on a blue or go all out on a black trail. No matter your skill level, youll find what you came for a blast and a much-needed breath of fresh air.
Dani Simons, director of marketing for Citi Bike operator NYC Bike Share: I have a real soft spot for biking up in the Bronx. There are great greenways. Theres a connection to Orchard Beach the Hutchinson River Greenway to the Pelham Parkway Greenway to the City Island Road Greenway. You can bike all the way out to Orchard Beach and City Island. I love that ride in the summer. Youre actually off road for a lot of it and on the greenways, then wind up in City Island, which is a quirky, cool place. You feel like youve gone to one of the ends of the city.

Q: Find moment generating function for given random variable Let $X_1$ and $X_2$ be independent randıman variables without exponential distribution with parameter $\lambda$. Let Y be random variable $Y=X_1+X_2$.
If the the random variable Z has the following m.g.f.
$M_Z(t)= M_Y(M_Y'(t))$
where $M_Y'(t)=dM_Y(t)/dt$
Find E(Z) by using $M_z(t)$
My solution
I find $M_Y(t)=\frac{\lambda^2}{(\lambda - t)^2}$
And $M_Y'(t)=\frac{2\lambda^2}{(\lambda -t)^3}$
Then $M_z(t)=M_Y(\frac{\lambda^2}{(\lambda - t)^2})=E(e^{\frac{\lambda^2}{(\lambda - t)}^2y}) $
but from here, I cannot find mgf of Z.

A: Using the chain rule:
$$M_Z'(t)=\partial_t(M_Y(M_Y'(t)))=M''_Y(t)M_Y'(M_Y'(t))$$
so that
$$E[Z]=M'_Z(0)=M''_Y(0)M_Y'(M_Y'(0))=\frac{6\lambda^2}{(\lambda-0)^4}\frac{2\lambda^2}{(\lambda-\frac{2\lambda^2}{(\lambda-0)^3})^3}=\frac{12\lambda^3}{(\lambda^2-2)^3}$$

Public Transportation Comes to Paris
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.
Paris, Chez Godet, [1828?].
[Title label]: Nouvelles Voitures dites Omnibus. [Drop title]: Nouvelles Voitures a 25 Centimes par Station, qui circulent dans Paris.
51 cm x 24.5 cm, Folding brochure, with 4 engravings of carriage models in use. Bound with: Tarif des Nouvelles et Anciennes Voitures. Folded brochure, 34.5 cm x 19 cm. Bound in contemporary (original?) grey card covers with manuscript title label on cover.
Extremely rare illustrated brochure announcing the introduction of mass public transport to Paris, the second city to adopt the 'omnibus' after its invention in Nantes by Stanislas Baudry in 1826. As the present work makes it clear, however, the original purpose of such carriages was hardly to transport workers to and from their jobs, but rather to make sightseeing day-trips and everyday voyages from one neighborhood to the next both accessible and affordable to middle-class Parisians.
Evidently intended as a promotional brochure, and presumably published at Baudry's behest, the present work announces the introduction of 'new carriages from 25 centimes per station, now operating in Paris'. Four different types of public transport carriage are described: first the newly-established Omnibus (which fits at least a dozen passengers, judging by the illustration), followed by the Batignolaise, the Dame Blanche (a large vehicle distinguished by its white color and elegant trim), the Favorite, the Diligente, the Tricycle, the Béarnaise, the Écossais (with its distinctive Tartan lining), and the Caroline. Four of these (the Omnibus, the Dame Blanche, the Tricycle and the Écossais) are illustrated with fine engravings depicting the vehicle in action on the cobbled streets of Paris. The brochure offers timetables and station stops for the carriages, each of which evidently ran a different route through the city. All advertised fares begin at 25 centimes, more than affordable to the average bourgeois in the first quarter of the 19th century.
For the passenger wishing for a more private ride, the second brochure in the present work provides details of personal carriages for hire, much the same as modern day taxis. A list of passengers' and drivers' rights is given (rates vary depending on time of day; coachmen are prohibited from riding their horses too vigorously; each station is attended by an 'inspecteur permanent'; fares must be paid in advance for conveyance to spectacles, balls, and public amusements; etc). Sample rates from popular destinations are given: taking a Courageux from Rue J. J. Rousseau to Belleville will cost just 40 centimes, while a standard Cabriolet in the city centre charges 60 centimes for the first 15 minutes of its hire, 2.5 centimes for every minute thereafter.
The omnibus – expressly designed to carry a large number of passengers in a municipal setting, with frequent stops – was pioneered and introduced by Stanislas Baudry in Nantes in 1826. His idea of a highly-organized public transportation system quickly proved successful, and some 2.5 million passengers were estimated to have ridden his omnibuses during the first 6 months of their operation in Paris. The first British omnibus commenced its route in July, 1829, and the vehicle reached New York the same year. The present work was probably issued by an operator of Baudry's own company, or by one of the numerous rival companies which quickly arose to take advantage of this new demand.
We have located one US copy of the illustrated brochure, held by the Met.

I've been looking for any information whatsoever on Helen Wasp. I am aware of the altar and totem dedicated to her, and can make inferences, but I have found no information beyond that.
Anyone who is willing to help me will receive my gratitude. I have asked the Archivist, who says he must dig deep in his archives, and the Legend Teller told me much the same. I asked BlackThorn, but my timing always seems to be bad.
Can anyone tell me about Helen Wasp?
It probably is very, very deep. I asked Ren about this too a long time ago, but there has still yet to be any word. All that he said to me at the time was that Helen is Ravens' woman... How their stories go, however, is still unknown. I suspect that the mistletoe bridge has something to to with them though..
That is my conclusion also. We may deduce that Wasp was a woman of great power, and that her romance with Daniel Raven was a happy one: "true love," says the bridge.
