The phone is just a small part of the puzzle for an investigation. You can't blow something up with *only* a phone. You have to move around, communicate across public networks, and physically acquire elements. Sure, having the data on a phone with documented communications might be handy, but it's not strictly necessary for any investigation of physical activity. Saying it is, is just being lazy.
Wrong. You absolutely can use pre-generated keys for google's authentication services. They call them backup codes.
Authenticator runs on a phone or tablet. Without internet you can't even set it up.
Wrong again. You can absolutely setup accounts in Google Authenticator (And most other similar apps) without network access. You can even install the app itself without access in many cases, if you want to side-load from a PC or something.
Without perfect clock sync the codes generated by authenticator stop working.
Sorta wrong. The clocks don't have to be perfect, they just have to be close. Pretty much every service has the ability to deal with a certain amount of clock skew. Smartphones these days are pretty good at keeping time, even when not connected to the network, so this usually isn't an issue. But this is also dependent on if the service is using TOTP or HOTP. (Time based or Counter based codes)
The codes generated by authenticator have a very short shelf life, measured in seconds.
Here you got one right, every code has a 60 second lifespan. (:
But to the point of the original post (GGGP?) that brought up the autheticator... They should at least have HOTP/TOTP as an option for those with smartphones in this case. They probably can't drop SMS altogether because of the users that *don't* have smart phones, but no reason not to support both.
I generate this data. I own this car. This is my data, not the company who made my car. If it's a rental, sure, go ahead and do what you want with that. But if I own the car, that data is MINE to choose whom I give it to, or don't give it to, and use as I see fit.
This isn't any different than any other appliance or device. I own my computer, The manufacturers that made it don't own the data that's created by using it. Tired of companies thinking they own what I do with the stuff they sell me. It's getting ridiculous.
I still believe that there should be a way to (securely) provide the government with only the data it needs to levy the tax. i.e. the miles driven on Oregon roads, without giving away more data than necessary and allowing the government to potentially abuse it.
Electric vehicles and hybrids can't be the reason. Electric vehicles still represent a tiny portion of vehicles on the road. Hybrids don't really get much better fuel economy than the tiny econoboxes of the 90s.
This is pretty short sighted, and my hope is that you are not on any committees or groups planning for anything in the future, as you seem to not be able to think ahead. EV's are a small segment now, but it is growing fast, and there will be a point in the future where it will become an issue having EV's essentially free from any sort of tax that allows for maintenance on the roads they use. Oregon is simply experimenting with ways to work through that scenario, and working on a plan for the future.
Wouldn't a simple wheel odometer work just fine for this? All you're tracking is miles traveled. No need to collect all the other location/speed data that a GPS offers up and risk abuse, privacy lawsuits, etc.
You know the stupid Cloud rage going on right now, systemd allows Linux systems to be rapidly deployed there.
You lost all *your* credibility there. systemd has absolutely nothing to do with cloud deployment, if anything, it complicates existing tool sets that are already being used for cloud deployments, because it obfuscates underlying process making it even harder to debug mass deployments.
I guess the problem is that systemd is heavily dependent on Linux, whose "developers don't understand the arguments of simplicity, composability, and small programs that do one thing well", to quote you. These developers (Linux kernel and systemd) only understand the arguments of programs that just work, are robust, adaptable, coherent, fast and efficient, easy to use, difficult to break, the most secure possible.
Robust? Efficient? Easy to Use?Just Works? You might be talking about the kernel, but you're definitely not talking about systemd anymore. I would put good money on any kernel developer pissing in your coffee just for saying systemd architecture is anything even remotely comparable to the kernel.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The old init system worked just fine. So what if it was scripts, scripts are the heart of any unix system, and have been for years. So what if the more complicated your app was, the more complicated your init process was. Using systemd isn't going to make your special purpose Linux OS any simpler, it still has to do the same damn thing. It's only going to hide that complexity in yet another tool.
Something I've rarely heard discussed in any of the patent reform discussions is accountability. It would make total sense to hold the Patent office accountable for the patents they approve. Particularly when they are proven overly broad or killed off by prior art. Sure, you can't do it immediately, but if a patent is invalidated for legal reasons, then there should absolutely be blowback to the patent office that approve the thing in the first place. You would probably have to define some criteria for meeting guidelines on complexity, but at some point you have to hold Joe Blow accountable for rubber stamping a patent like this example that's so blindingly stupid. i.e. he's really bad at his job, get freaking rid of him!
Without proper accountability, I don't think there will ever be meaningful reform.
So let's allow the monopoly and reduction consumer options, but we'll delay it's full impact for 5 years. This doesn't make much sense, except to the Judge, who will be getting one hell of a kickback in 5 years.
Until they automate, or at least expedite, the process of a consumer getting fines/money back from the telemarketers and corporations using laws already on the books, this whole DNC thing is meaningless. (Note, all the tools necessary to do this are already in place in some form or another) But that will never happen so truly DNC is, and always has been, a worthless thing.
It would be much neater if the summary actually focused on the story, rather than the lame news coverage about UFO's. The fact that they figured out the right size/weight balance on a balloon to have it self sustaining from solar heating the air is pretty cool. Add to this that it created enough lift to actually allow it to pull away and be lost, carrying weight, and you get a nifty geek story about some makers and their incubator in NM. Way to go Quelab/Gonner, keep it up!
What is needed, is a search site that allows you to exclude terms, domains, regular expression based, as part of your profile that you never ever want to see mentioned. i.e. a user managed/specific blacklist. Something that happens at the search level, instead of my browser having to block it via Ghostery or AdBlock or some other utility.
I call Bullshit. There is a preponderance of data on class size and how it effects learning. Nearly all of that data supports the theory that smaller classes increase learning. Some of the data supports that it doesn't make a difference, and there is no data at all that supports a theory that larger classes increase learning. The only thing even being contested in this arena is that the results can be interpreted in different ways, and not all studies were able to factor in all variables. Most of the arguments are being pushed by people or entities that don't like the costs associated with CSR (Class Size Reduction) mandates.
In essence, you're pretty bass ackwards on your understanding of this topic. I won't disagree that there might be things that could provide larger gains in education than CSR, but that doesn't mean that the concept is invalid, or that there isn't any data supporting it.
Your last sentence is complete conjecture with no supporting evidence and should be taken as such.
Your argument is the definition of weak, and your analogy is terrible. You should do more research before spouting off about stuff you clearly know nothing about. You'll get modded down, so most people won't see this, but I'll just leave this here for your benefit anyway.
Sierra Nevada is a *group* of companies, not a single entity. And the people and companies involved absolutely have track records for "technological ability in space", some of them much more extensive than that of SpaceX and Boeing.
Clearly, you went to the wrong dealer. This highlights one of the benefits of the dealer model, there are almost always a *lot* of dealers to choose from and try to get a better deal/experience/vehicle from. You've got a single place to go to get a Tesla. If you don't like them, or they don't like you, you're outta luck unless you find one on the used market.
> What exactly goes through their minds? "I'm just doing my job." Just like you they have families too that need to be fed.
Whether it's being a jack booted thug violating laws in order to spy on everyone or escorting prisoners to the gas^H^H^Hshower chamber and then disposing of the bodies in an oven, these people are merely doing their job and getting paid for it.
Why ask beyond that?
Slashdot talks the big talk but when it comes down to it, whistleblowing is HARD. Standing up for what's right it HARD. Fucking AC's talking the shit. People DO actually think of their families, their lives, their own personal well being. It's human nature. I'm not saying that people shouldn't stand up for what's right, I'm saying that it's a fucking hard thing to do. Snowden and the like gave up *everything* to do what's right.
I'm for one am glad I don't have to choose between my loving family and a cold solitary cell just to give everyone else some information about some menial spy program that lets the government snoop on me the same way corporations are. It would be a FUCKING HARD THING TO DO, and you all should take time to think about that seriously. Heap praise on those who have the courage to do the right thing, but don't pile on to those who don't. You're very likely in the camp that wouldn't stand up in that situation.
Why does crap like this get modded up? Insightful? Seriously?! This is one of the most ugly prejudices that keeps popping up. Not all cops are ego maniacs, not all cops "do it for the control", etc. Open your goddamn eyes and look at the world through something other than your shit colored glasses.

It's somewhat impressive that there are still people with these super low UID's still lurking on /. after all these years. (:
It says right on the homepage:
the xonsh shell
~ It is pronounced zonsch ~
Either way, it's still terrible name.

Actually, the cheapest plan they have seems to be ~$15/month.

So everyone is pushing CS and STEM as hard as they can, but the schools don't have the manpower to support the influx of students? That's Brilliant.

Wow. Just. Wow. Clearly "one of the smartest regions on earth" isn't really living up to it's moniker.
Use the money you earn through infrastructure and transportation taxes to actually pay for maintaining the infrastructure.

It's cute to see how much money they blow on their designs, but really, is this news, or stuff that matters?
