Sure, but with url shorteners us geeks can’t read the URL either. So we just don’t click on the link. Then your bos goes why didn’t you click that link? You needed to fill out that info. Sure you can lecture your boss on malware using url shorteners to hide its true location until after you click it. But that usually doesn’t end well. I have to often call The sender of the email to verify that this is indeed was an intended email.
So you are working on a new OS layer API which all software will need to be ported to. While being ported they will get rid of side feature that do not work well in it and others that willl work better.
Because iterations in hardware and software come with trade offs. This is why we need products such as DOSbox to run the old 16bit DOS programs vs trying to run it in Windows command prompt.
Saying you are working on a way we can keep our old software working optimally on newer computers. Just says you want to stagnate the industry. Because Office 95 that was designed to run optimally on a 800x600 svga screen. Will either be too tiny to operate on a 4K screen, huge pixels or very blurry. While you often don’t see the new features being imeadeatly useful. If you go back to the 20 year old version you may find such feature bloat was actually a nice feature you really like to use.
That is Ok, because after approving a huge tax breaks so companies can pay less taxes, he yells at a company for not paying a lot of taxes. With other cased of the GOP stating the USPS is out of date, and no longer has enough volume, we have this company overworking them.
Lets just put this down as we have a Crazy Idiot (sorry Stable Genius) for a president. And he will attack anythings that goes after his Ego.
But the people who know the real scoop on most of these conspiracy keep on getting fired.
Undisclosed person of power: I want the report on Aria 51! Undisclosed cabinet member: Here it is. They are about a dozen failed jet engine designs. and a couple of them that are considered out of date. Undisclosed person of power: And the UFO Undisclosed cabinet member: That was actually just a weather balloon. They launched them to get an idea of how the wind was going in the atmosphere to determine if is was safe for a test flight that night. It was blown off course. So the military picked it up, because they didn't want someone to get a hold of the broadcast radio, which was using a top secrete frequency. Undisclosed person of power: That boring and rational. Your fired, I needed you to tell the "Truth"
But the difference is. Drupal was made for the average Joe. Slashdot doesn't like technology that the average person off the street can use. How else do you show how superior you are to everyone else.
We have one guy living in a nicely furnish home, where they have store bought fur nature. While Slashdotters are living in a home with furniture, that has rough edges, pieces that fall off, and sometimes bugs are eating them. Because they refuse to buy furniture, But went out into the woods, found a rock and banged it against another rock until they had some sort of blade, Used this stone blade to cut down a tree and chisel away enough of it to make it it appear to be like furniture.
Sure there is pride in the accomplishment but at the end of the day, you may be stuck with less then quality furniture.
Who has the resources and guts to stand up to them?
China has the worlds largest population, and a large land area (About the same as the United States) if forced into a war-time economy they would be able to kick the butt of any other nation. Including the United States which has the largest standing army, but China has a potential army.
I expect the big thing, is that Facebook is trying to whitewash the problems. Figuring that just some Zeckerberg charm will appeal the masses.
What is needed now isn't an emotional CEO or one appealing to our emotions. But one who is explaining and proving to the public a full strategy to fixes such problems, compensate for the damage caused, and new checks to prevent problems, and showing they see other risks in the future which they need to work on.
Guess what life was better when you were the ages of 15-25. That age you have enough freedom to do most things you want to do, while you have little responsibilities that hold you back. Because you do not have to pay living expenses either off of a college loan or still living with your parents. That minimum wage job was enough for you to save up and buy that coolest toy that you wanted to get. Being this gadget you bought with saving up money and working hard, meant a lot to you. And obviously it was the best.
I have a spot in my heard of the Palm-3. But lets be real. No-Rechargeable battery, B&W Screen, the power of a gaming system already decades old then, crazy user input methods... While an interesting product of its time, not really worthy of renewal.
This bringing back of Palm and Nokia phones, miniature Nintendos and Commodore 64... All to try to bring us back to the good old day, Where we were on top of the world and had that one device that made us the envy of our peers, even if it was only for about a week.
But going back is not helping us today. Oh I got use to texting and typing on a touch screen, it is a non issue, I like having full web pages available at my finger tip. Why would I want to go back to a Nokia banana phone? If they are bringing back the Palm phone? What is going to make it worth it? Is is going to be one of those cheap Android phones with a Palm name and charged just for the name? Is it just going to be an other Apple iPhone ripoff like all the other smart phones out there? I would like to see something new, not a glass square, with different degrees of rounded edges. Sure the iPhone design was innovative 10 years ago, it put other phone makers 2 years back to the drawing board. But that was then. What are we getting new now? I don't expect to get the feel good like I did when I was 18, with a product. But I do want to see progress, not regression back to our childhood.
It is also the responsibility of everyone else that you use services of as well. If I cross the street and fall down an open manhole cover. I am responsible for keeping an eye on where I am looking. The person who opened the manhole cover is responsible for blocking off the area for others to see that it is open.
WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) is a free, open-source project that provides web browsers and mobile applications with real-time communication (RTC) via simple application programming interfaces (APIs). It allows audio and video communication to work inside web pages by allowing direct peer-to-peer communication, eliminating the need to install plugins or download native apps.[1] Supported by Google, Mozilla, and Opera, WebRTC is being standardized through the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).[2]
It would seem just going and disabling the feature may cause some angry customers calling and complaining.
Back before those days. Advertisement on the information super highway was considered a godsend where we were allowed to access services that were once either had to pay to access, or was too small to be fully useful. Because the cost of operating a full website was too expensive for most hobbyist.
A single 468x60 pixel banner per page load, for an advertisement roughly related to the content of the site, that took 10 seconds to load off of a modem. was well worth the wait (and perhaps a click if you liked the product) if it helped kept your favorite site running and growing.
However as speeds improved, and website moved from a hobby by a college student to a business model. More ads were needed. And advertisers didn't want to pay for per-view but by click. So advertisers made their adds more flashy, and web designers made ads more intrusive. They didn't care if you accidentally clicked on the Ad, because it was one of 100 pop-ups. (also Ad-ware was installed on systems without people realizing what they were doing, to have ads appear not even related to the site they are viewing)
Because they went way too far. Pop-up blockers (a precursor to ad-blockers) started to get popular. Then blocking cookies, and then Ad-Blockers. Had them realize they went too far. So while most web sites today are non-bombarding us with ads where we can go to a popular site without ad-blockers or popup blockers and be able to see the content. The ads are now more insidious. Behind are big data engine tracking our IP Address and any other identifier available, and give us advertisements targets directly to us. And the web sites don't make their money showing the ads, they make it selling the data collected to the advertisers.
We get patent lawsuits on some of the worlds largest countries who take Patents very seriously. Find some obscure patent troll had made some lame patent in the past that no one would think of even bother looking for because it is so obvious that only a moron would try to Patent it and a moron patent official would approve it.
Ok I got it and read it. So here is some information that seems that should be explained further
"Waymo, formerly the self-driving car project of Google, said that in tests on roads in California last year, its cars went an average of nearly 5,600 miles before the driver had to take control from the computer to steer out of trouble. As of March, Uber was struggling to meet its target of 13 miles per “intervention” in Arizona, according to 100 pages of company documents obtained by The New York Times and two people familiar with the company’s operations in the Phoenix area but not permitted to speak publicly about it."
Now this far more important part of the article. It isn't self driving car technology as the technology currently stands, but Ubers implementation of it, and it failure to prevent it from going out when they haven't perfected it at the level the competitors are achieving. And attempting to stop people from alerting the public about it.
This should be considered a shame on you to Uber, and not be scared of autonomous automobiles, as ones that are properly implemented have a rather good safety record. (Still 5600 miles isn't that great for a release, it should probably be over 100,000 miles)
Exactly. One of the posters post the NYT article which I will review. But Slashdot isn't a good source of truthful information. Because normally its reviews of things, are not based on facts or experience. Just they don't like it.
Assange is a Paranoid kook. Why would any government try to protect a guy who is against government. It is only matter of time, where he is going to bite you back, because he has no respect for anyone. And will do anything to express his narrative.
For a laptop and tablet one of their key features, is long battery life. Having extra components of a mini-pc in your main system is just going to drain more power. Using a VM or multiple VMs would be good enough for security in 2018, they may find an other flaw that may make this method considered childish in the future. But at the moment it is as good as we can expect. If you are that paranoid, I would either partition your drive to duel boot, or keep a bootable USB Stick on hand.
But you don't need a wide verity of distributions to pick from to get some of the advantages. Not expecting to use the GUI or having to deal with a large set of drivers what real advantage is there to use Ubentu vs Debian or Redhat vs Suse... For the most part you will be using the standard Linux commands, or installing the additional software that you are looking for.
Can I have some citation on this. It isn't that I don't believe you, I just hadn't heard that particular statistic before and would like to understand the details on such information. From my knowledge most of the previous accidents were from driver error not the automated car. And for this reported death, while improvement could be made, the person who got killed was doing something dangerous and crossed the street without trying to make eye contact with the driver, so the guy monitoring the automated car didn't know she was crossing as well.

Being that many didn't know about this vulnerability. beforehand it means Disabling WebRTC may effect features that their customers expect.
It may be easier to try to stop the people who are actively trying to hurt them?
