I'd be surprised if this isn't a regular topic of conversation today. You're launching an incredibly expensive piece of equipment, often with national security repercussions. If you're not considering the physical security of it, then you're probably not doing your job.
It takes a bit of manual work to remove it and verify that it was unused, that it's no longer being linked to, and that there wasn't another thing that was only being used by what you just removed (and is therefore unused). The graph shows that in 5 months they're removed 3000 of these things. That's pretty damn impressive if you ask me.
Whatever. This whole "hacking" threat is overblown. When has any major company or corporation been hit by a serious hack? That's why I fully support the government taking over the internet to stop piracy!
I'm not willing to write off my child's well being at all. I'm willing to make a calculated risk based on medical evidence and then live with it if that risk goes south because I know that the decision was the right one. Will living with it be easy? No, but the decision was the right one, so I won't blame the decision or the people involved with it (unless they deserve it through negligence or what have you). Unwillingness to accept risk is a fast way towards madness, over-parenting, and the TSA. Maybe tolerating the risk and not blaming the blameless puts me outside USian norms, but it shouldn't.
you would bring suit to anyone and everyone even remotely connected to the situation. As is appropriate.
What the fuck? How is it appropriate to bring suit to everyone connected to the situation when there are known risks and I consented to them? That's just crazy talk.
Saying other people should "fuck yourself and die in a fire, because you're a leech - a parasite" over vaccinations...yeah not extreme at all
It's not IMHO. They are endangering their child's life and the lives of those around their children because they don't understand math and/or science. I don't know that there are words that are too harsh to describe someone like that. It's like a wall street CEO that screws over everyone else to get some money. Only instead of money, it's children's lives.
Also, just your twisted perspective....about your kid possibly dying is....appalling "I'm fine being the one to pay for a much greater benefit to society".
How is that perspective twisted? I don't want to go back to how things were before vaccines. To avoid that, someone has to pay the price. I don't want to pay the price, I don't want my son to pay the price, I don't want anyone to pay the price. But if my son has to pay the price, at the end of the day it's worth it. Words cannot express how much it would suck for that harm to come to my son. Words also cannot express how grateful I am that he gets to grow up in a modern, first world country. In this case, to have the second one you have to risk the first one at a rate of about 1 in a million with the vaccine we're discussing. I'd be a terrible father if I didn't take that risk, and if I allowed myself to regret the choice that was right, then I'd be an idiot.
the statement is extreme and just lacks all tact... In other words, tone it down, freak
Yes. Every day of the week I would be satisfied while taking one for the team. If my 2 year old had a severe reaction, it would suck greatly, but I'm fine being the one to pay for a much greater benefit to society. It also helps that I've got nieces and nephews that benefit from near-universal vaccinations. Being a part of society means you give up something to receive a much greater benefit, and in this case I'm taking the risk that my son will have a severe reaction in exchange for the much greater benefits for him, the rest of my family, and society as a whole not suffering from those diseases. If you're not willing to take that risk, then go fuck yourself and die in a fire, because you're a leech - a parasite who'd rather hurt those around him than tolerate a little risk.
Personal choice only goes so far. If your personal choice puts my family at risk, then it ceases to become a personal choice.
That reasoning needs to be used carefully, because it could be used to justify pretty much anything at all.
Now, I think people who don't get their kids vaccinated are terrible people who use terrible judgement to expose their children to terrible risks, but I'm not sure they should be required to get their children vaccinated. Parents often know more about their children than their doctors do, and sometimes doctors don't take the time to actually care for their patients (leaving out the doctors who cover their ass and lie to their patients).
In this case, the vaccine wore off a little earlier than thought. The vaccination schedule had a gap that exposed children to risk. If we tighten up that schedule, then our children will still avoid the risk while still leaving parents the freedom to choose not to get their children vaccinated.
Since there's already C++ support for those needing the support, python could easily replace new development. Freeze the java API, only release the goodies in the new python API, and watch as java rides off into the sunset wrt new development.
I absolutely think this whistleblower did the right thing. But if it's important enough to break the law over, then it's important enough that they should be willing to do it in spite of the punishment.
I'm actually kind of in favor of this. Disclosing classified information should be something that carries consequences, even done for a good reason. It keeps them from being whistleblowers about things that aren't important.
First of all, this is networking, so they're probably using the standard version of terabit which would be 1000 Gb. Also, it's 1000, not 100. Also, I like your username. Wanna go out?
So you're implying that intel, a company notorious for building shoddy GPUs, used Wolfenstein for their demonstration not because Wolfenstein is the latest and greatest game that requires good hardware, but because it shows their cards in a good light?
This isn't a troll post, it's a poetic illustration of what's wrong with the news cycle at all. The publishers are greedy and just want ad revenue, and the democratized news sources are all repeating corporate drivel that's only useful if you already want what they're selling.
Exactly. The ability to go straight from learning to doing is absolutely critical for teaching programming. If I hadn't picked up my older brothers TI-85 when I was in junior high and started fiddling with his programs, I might not be doing programming today.

Nature will have shown us it's solution.
Nature by means of human scientists and genetic engineering?

That's an almost beautiful idea. Thank you for sharing it.

Well played, sir, well played.
What's extreme about it?

If your way was correct, we'd have 100's of implementations of EVERY idea.
Wouldn't more coders lead to more implementations of an idea as coders steal them?
We don't, but we do have 1000's of coders for every idea.
Have you ever watched someone try to get good coders for a project? It's not trivial.
Good teachers will be able to deal with that by pointing out that they're using a simplification. Unfortunately, not all teachers fit the bill.
Android is here to stay and won't move away from Java and Oracle knows that very well
Yeah, it's not like Google has made their own language or uses popular, high level language internally that could replace java.
Since there's already C++ support for those needing the support, python could easily replace new development. Freeze the java API, only release the goodies in the new python API, and watch as java rides off into the sunset wrt new development.

This is slashdot. Most people here would probably think that the chick is coming over to see the TV.
Of course, this all presupposes there's a female in the equation, so the whole thing might be bogus.
