Yea! after this attack we improved our security. Too bad people died from the attack to learn the vulnerable locations.
Many of these attacks are targets towards health care institutions as they are typically behind in security for various reasons. 1. Expensive equipment - You are going to pay millions of dollars for some equipment you are going to want to keep it going as long as possible. That means it may be operating with decades old software. But normally that isn't a big issue, as the software while old still works fine.
2. Incompetent vendors - Many healthcare software vendors try to push the software out as fast as possible, using the cheapest staff they can find to build it, often building parts that the developers have no idea on what they are suppose to do. Often the IT Employees at the institutions know how the product works better than the vendor who made it.
3. Health Care has a lot of data. Millions of patients with hundreds of visits makes a rather large set of data, making migration of a rather simple system a big project compared to many other sectors. It isn't just an import file option....
With cloud and hosting centers a targeted attack towards an other group may affect other areas which are not well known. That Evil Corprate Bank may be using the same data center that your local fire department is using to manage its 911 traffic.
Lets be real. The person who attacks the IT infrastructure is in the wrong. The one getting attacked is the victim. Don't justify it as helping them improve security when your process has a huge causality behind it.
I need to agree. I was required to do work in Visual Studios for an Application. The application design was for performance, So its big trade off was it was Very Ram intensive storing 20% of the database in active RAM. For faster retrieval and updates bypassing giving me about a 100% increase in speed., in order for me to fully test the App, I needed to deploy it to the server to try it out. Because running it in visual studios wouldn't go past the 4 gig barrier. And I was using roughly 20gigs. Being that I couldn't debug the app, with a lot of active data it made it difficult to fix random issues that may pop up because to test it I needed to load the data in different blocks to find the data causing the problem to be fixed.
I spent hours trying to set Visual Studios to 64bit with no avail. I was royally pissed off. Microsoft in general compared to other OS's had really botched moving from 32 bit to 64 bit. being that it is 2016 and the average PC has been 64 bit for about a decade now, is very pathetic.
The issue is that I haven't heard anything new out of politics for a while. Party A: Wants more government control except for what conflicts with their special interests group. Party B: Wants less government control except for what conflicts with their special interests group.
Now the special interests groups swap around over time.
So politics will go to normal progress if they like it they will give it money if they don't they will not.
Fat acceptance isn't about not trying to control your weight or living a unhealthy lifestyle. But to accept yourself as you are then you can start to work on the problems. There is a reason why don't see fat people at they gym, you may really skinny guys trying to bulk up but less fat people trying to lean down. Why? Because society makes fun of fat people. The idea of a fat guy or woman walking on a treadmill sweating at 3mph while the fit guy next to them is jogging at 6mph without breaking a sweat, is often shown as comedy. This type of stuff that portraits these people as somehow sub human. Just convinces them to avoid going out and doing something more.
I had lost 70lbs myself and much closer to my official BMI however I needed to convince myself I could do it. And risk people insulting me at the gym (Although that didn't happen) But I had to accept that I was a useful human first before I could take the next step on working at it.
Having Fat People feel like they are beautiful means they are more willing to go out and be active in the world. These Fat Acceptance isn't a Fat Fetish it is celebrating the person's beauty not because of the fat but because of the beauty. The Fat Fetish will only focus on the fat, that isn't healthy
As someone who also lost 70 lbs. The first part of it was convincing myself that I could change myself first. To get to that level I needed get over my self consciousness of my weight. Then I could put my time and effort into losing it. The initial problem was once I labeled myself as fat, I didn't care for a while and put on 20 more lbs. The thing is people don't want to be fat or have the health problems. But with people insulting you and making you feel less valuable as a human being getting to a state where you can take the risk of changing your lifestyle makes it more difficult.
Whether it being an ISP, Fiber, Cable, Satellite, or Wireless. They all in general are disliked by the community. Why? 1. Infrastructure is expensive. A lot of the bill goes to general infrastructure whether or not you use the service or not there is an infrastructure that needs to be in place ready to operate when you are.
2. Monthly Costs. Needing access to the network means you need to budget for it over the long term. Unlike giving a one time fee for a device you keep on paying for it. So you feel the pain every month.
3. Customer Support, usually if there is a problem, it is happening for a lot of people so customer service gets jammed. If there is a problem it will require sending over an individual with specialized equipment to fix it.
Apple who has an image to maintain really would avoid the network like the plague, as it would kill its reputation.
Is it healthier to keep your weight steady, and keep yourself in a positive mood. Or to feel depressed about your weight, causing stress hormones to go to your body, which then trigger the need to eat. You really fail to see the point of fat acceptance. It isn't to encourage other people to get really fat, but to be comfortable with your own body and not try to meet society standards.
Once someone labels themselves as Fat and Ugly then they lose hope and stops trying to live a healthy lifestyle.
His views basically come down to limited the free speech of people he disagrees with.
We as a culture will need to adapt to the mass messages spewed all around us. Much of it we will not like or agree with. However censoring opposing ideas even ones you think are just evil will only move the speech into a black market of ideas. Where people with such opposing ideas will discuss amongst themselves, becoming more radicalized due to their inability to discuss it with the rest of the world. As well it makes it an Us vs Them statement so we no longer will have opposing ideas to help moderate and complacate the issue.
Most political stances are based on a unique view of the problem, that the other person may not realize.
So you follow the Donald Trump solution to solving problems. When a problem is gave come up with a name to insult the people who are affected by it, to make it seem like a non-issue, and point to some conspiracy theory to reinforce it. Vs. Recognizing the problem realizing that it could be an issue and working on ways to solve or at least midiage it.
So the standard greener way doesn't work. We really don't want to start (re)using toxic chemicals just for a slight improvement in smell. We don't want to dissolve our clothings.
The environment is a complex thing. While we have forces creating carbon and other pollutants into the atmosphere (Humans and Volcanos). There are other forces that take them out (Plants and Oceans). Now there is also a problem with deforestation and water pollutants where we are double hindering our carbon footprint by polluting and removing things that can clean the pollutants.
So if we were to slow down our rate of pollution and increase forest growth than over time we could burn all the fossil fuels and not raise the temperature to obscene levels. As the carbon in the air will be absorbed to the mass of vegetation.
I am not sure where the magical powers of breakfast came from. The most mythical thing about it is the fact that you hadn't had anything to eat usually in over 8 hours. So breakfast begins your normal eating schedule again. Either it being 5am or 1pm. I expect there is more problems for people who sometimes skip breakfast and sometimes do not. It isn't breakfast but trying to keep your body on a schedule.
Well there is still the electric car issue of Charging speed.
With most electric cars today getting a decent 100 miles per charge, that makes them good for most people daily commute and they charge at home over night. However if you need to take a trip over 100 miles then you will need to stop and charge up taking a lot more time than the couple of minutes at the gas station. So if by a gas car you get 8 hours of driving a day (400 miles) That 8 hours would be 10 hours with an electric car with 4 30 minute charges.
Now here is some extra stuff to make it worse. Being that most people will charge at home. The demand for external charging station will be much less. So they will not be as many anyways. So finding them would be more difficult, unless you just take the highway. where others expect you to drive on long trips.
Creativity isn't about learning. Creativity is creating something new and original. The process of making a mistake or doing something the wrong way can lead to an answer of a question that you weren't looking for.
The problem is that right now the olympics is so centered around national (for the United States is is closer to State Pride) pride, where each host country is trying to show look at us we are relevant in world affairs. However when it is hosted in a rich country like the United States and many european countries , we are able to spend money on grandiose effects, as the infrastructure is already there and has cities that can deal with hosting such events. Smaller countries cannot, and they really need more effort into supporting the event and less worrying about trying to awe the people, but get them to enjoy your country. For Japan, Tokyo is a major city, and japan is #3 largest economy outside of United States and China. Which is actually rather amazing that it is such a small country. So they can afford some extra. However Brazille being #7 on the list will need more effort into infrastructure and less on impressing.
Computers don't make mistakes. Humans do. When you watch children play it is a process of making as many mistakes as they can. Falling down, going up the slide the wrong way. They laugh at delight at the idea their reality has changed when you show that you can put you sock on your HAND, then you can use that sock to anthropomorphize a fictional character. Socks are for feet. However they put in on their hand, then they pushed it up the next level is made it do something that couldn't happen on the feet. Imagination isn't from trying a variation of prescribed combination, it is finding a mistake and using that mistake to its full advantage.
So in your musical creation brute force algorithm. It would never express a BBBB(flaten by 1/4 tone)CCC as its brute force method is just trying to find combination in the diatonic scale. Also if you have ever listen to music from other areas of the world music we find to be out of tune to western music styles are harmonic and beautiful to other cultures. Then there are the songs that we love where we have no rational reason to love them.
Sure an AI can compose music that is pleasant but they won't change how we understand music and find new forms and expand the gendra.
The same with more practical things. When we invent something new it comes with tradeoffs and often research will not show if such tradeoff is success or not.
the iPhone could had failed miserably with its lack of a real keyboard. The original iPod could had failed because it didn't have Wi-Fi and it had less space than the Nomad. MS-DOS could had failed due to lack of powerful features... There are also a lot of products that tried to be innovative that had failed Like the Microsoft Kin, Apple Newton, Beta Max... An AI with its current specs wouldn't try to break the mold can risk an unsuccessful product because the data shows that the people love the feature that you are going to take away to give others.
Not so much Defective but cheaply made, so they had less cache and other features. Which hindered performance. However the main benchmark at the time was the Mhz of the chip. So it made it difficult for people to easily figure out if that 300mhz Celeron for $400 eMachine vs. the 300Mhz Pentium III for a $1,000 Dell makes sense.

Assange is just a media hore. He did one thing that got attention. He posted leaked documents on a wiki. Now he put himself in exile and makes crazy rants now and then.
He is hiding from Sweden. The country known for neutrality. And they are charging him for rape and not about the leaks.
The US isn't after him. They already got Manning they person who actually stole the documents. If the US was going to hunt him down foe what he did, then why didn't the US attack the media that reported on the content of leaked documents? Why didn't wiki leaks just got blocked? The US actually could strong arm a lot more power then it does.
If we are going to listen to his rants he should back them up, otherwise he should just be classified as a YouTube comment.
I get that on one of my workplace hosted software system from Siemens.
I also get the too many items in the stack.
There newer stuff they made isn't that much better they just learned a few years ago about activeX

Siemens may be good engineers but they can't code worth anything. These robots will be out with an out of cards error in no time.
