http://spectrum.ieee.org/cars-that-think/transportation/self-driving/under-the-hood-of-luminars-long-reach-lidar Current automotive lidars scan their surroundings by firing pulses from semiconductor diode lasers emitting at 905 nanometers in the near infrared and recording reflected light to build up a point cloud mapping the car’s surroundings. But laser-safety rules in the U.S. and other countries restrict the power in the laser pulse, limiting the lidar’s →

https://www.open-electronics.org/linux-foundation-launches-the-open-source-edgex-foundry-for-iot-standardisation/ Security is the Achilles heel of the Internet of Things, according to Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols on ZDNet. The lack of common IoT development standards is part of this problem. This is why the Linux Foundation, along with 50 companies, has announced The EdgeX Foundry. The group will build a common open framework for IoT →

https://opensource.com/article/17/6/javascript-frameworks Helpful hints on where frameworks make sense, and where they don’t. We should probably reduce our use of some of the frameworks we created. In other ways, we simply need to consider the cost of using a framework for the given task. →
https://fossbytes.com/outlawcountry-cia-hacking-tool-linux/ Wikileaks has published fresh documents that deal with the CIA’s hacking and spying on Linux machines using a malware strain called OutlawCountry. This tool consists of a kernel module that creates invisible netfilter table for creating new rules with iptables command. Those rules can modify and redirect the network traffic. The OutlawCountry’s prerequisites for operation are →
