It would be interesting to see the applications of this technology with the use of thermal cameras. Extracting environments from thermal imaging would be nice.

You could also just watch the videos on youtube for the 2017 version of this class.

It depends on your definition of what a hacker is. Asking how to be a hacker is like asking "How do I make a meal?". What type of meal do you want to make? Is it breakfast, lunch, dinner, a celebratory meal? It is just a broad question.

This definition of a hacker might differ from person to person even at that. A good definition, I personally like, of a hacker is the technical adeptness and a delight in solving problems and overcoming limits. If this describes you to help people and solve problems, then I recommend this article. [0]

Have you tried contacting the manufacturer of the video card you want? Sometimes they have wait lists you can opt into.

Don't know how to feel about this. The price on the thing is $170, but for the amount of money you could setup a network of four raspberry pi's instead at $35 each.

Grandfather told me this story, he worked for Digital Equipment Corporation. It kinda is the same problem we had with the PDP-10/PDP-12 by Digital Equipment Corporation. Someone would sell stacks of the PDP-10 for computer mainframes. When I mean stacks my grandfather was telling me about warehouses full of the things. Eventually they came out with a new version that was much more powerful the PDP-12! The problem was that the price of the PDP-12 was much more than PDP-10. People would buy stacks of the PDP-10 instead.

This is true and possibly one reason I think moons are a better bet for cosmic colonization.

Mars, venus, and mercury have next to no field, earth has a moderate field, and all our gas giants have very strong fields.

Some of the gas giant moons are attractive since the gravitational effects on the moons can create geo-thermal energy. Pair a large planet with a strong magnetic field and energy created from gravity and we might have something interesting worth exploring.

I do not think this is perfect though, due to the size of our atmosphere we are shielded from meteorites,, this might not be the case of these moons. We would need to consider making some way to protect ourselves like harvesting ore from surrounding areas. Even then this might not stop large collisions.

Interesting, I would have still guessed Massachusetts due to the education system. If there goal is to make high paying jobs an educated population makes it much easier to find talent.

eh why not this could be fun, did one run with no errors total of 64 wpm.

Do not often push myself that fast while programming so, probably half that while doing so??

You never disclosed a region, so here is information on the second part of your question for the united states.

There is a beautiful post on the /r/personalfinance reddit of just this topic, recommending reading it. It has tons of background information and relevant links to IRS documentation.

In terms of the IRS, they are saying this virtual currency is taxable any time you buy, sell, barter, or even mine.

You might be able to use this same technology to counteract this from happening.

If you generate content you would have a base to test an AI to spot actual fake content. You could use video's and pictures like these to test a learning AI to spot discrepancies, then report findings in detail.

Makes me wonder if there is a future in forensics for this type of technology.

> Set up a lab - 2-4 computers and a switch should do (you could virtualize some/all of it) and work on all aspects of the TCP/IP stack if you're interested in netsec.

I would like to add onto this, if you cannot virtualize this and you do not have extra computers try using raspberry pi's. You can fully customize them to act as computers (with all different operating systems), servers, super computers, routers, etc.

Its an inexpensive and practical option compared to buying expensive equipment.

Challenge accepted! Thank you for the ideas. :)

Neat, I am an IT major, but I am a sucker for CS, programming and security. Been looking for a projects to help my understanding of how things work. (maybe improve marketability also)

Thank you for giving me a new project, -A random university student.
