No. They are the problem. The DDOS attacks are a symptom of not solving the problem.
In an ideal world, you could leave a big pile of money on your doorstep and it will still be there when you return. We live in a non-ideal world, so we know that doesn't work out in practice, but it doesn't make the assholes who take the money any less assholes.
That also depends on management. If the management is any good, they'll make it clear when a spec should be treated as final or tentative. They'll also give you time to do go back and re-do it right if/when it becomes final.
Otherwise, you have no idea if it is fixed or not and you will NOT get a chance to replace the spit and baling wire later.
What you suggest is the right way to do it, but it depends on having time allocated to doing it the right way and a manager who gives a crap about anything but squeezing out more features faster.
Otherwise, you become just that guy who never meets the deadline. Shortly after, you become the former occupant of cube 230B.
Probably because now if you are at your vacation home, you will show up at your primary home in a few days to find busted pipes. This wouldn't be a problem if you had an old thermostat set to the lowest possible setting (but above freezing, of course).
My digital thermostat doesn't need a battery. It leaches power from the 24V control line. It has no IoT functionality at all and certainly doesn't depend on the cloud. It works fine.
Digital is good, and being on the LAN can be a benefit for some. But I will never install a thermostat that wants to phone home for any reason. I especially won't install one that insists on it.
Not quite. With Nest it certainly is, but that's because they designed it that way. There is no GOOD reason why any functionality at all should be dependent on access to the internet (that includes system testing), nor any reason why the basic functionality should depend on ANY net connection at all. It's just because they designed it that way for reasons that have nothing to do with serving the owner of the device. Take your pick, abject stupidity, overly grabby control over "valuable IP" (that isn't actually that valuable or amazing), or monetizing spying on the device "owner".
It's a shame they all seem to have fallen in love with the cloud (It's SO FLUFFY!), since it's not at all necessary and brings only exciting new modes of fail to a formerly very reliable piece of technology.
That's why I never even considered installing one.
Not necessarily. All they have to do is vaguely posit that caving would cost them more sales worldwide than they could ever lose by making New Yorkers take the tunnel to Jersey to buy their phone.
Possible solutions depending on the wording of the law include: just sell the stores off, sell everything but phones there, or set up a nice video conference setup where you are technically buying the phone from a store in New Jersey and having it delivered while you wait.
Generally, the news holds identifiable pictures and such until police notify the family. They also avoid going for maximum gore. It's part of professional standards. They also don't want to end up on the "no comment" list.
First responders know that posting accident photos to the web is a firing offense.
Depending on how close you are to the deceased and your personality type, it may help if you find out when there is someone else there who at least cared enough to tell you in person. They'll often stay until the news seems to have sunk in and you contact a friend so they know you won't do something regrettable. That's why you may hear on the news that details have been withheld until police can notify the family.
If the closest person to you in your life had a terrible accident, would you want to find out about it on facebook with bloody pictures surrounded by comments from the biggest jackasses on the net?
One way might be to simply recognize such a thing as harm inflicted on the victim's loved ones and open such a person to a civil suit. The 1st amendment protects the speech itself but doesn't make us immune to legal actions if we use our free speech to harm others.
It really wasn't. You could as easily read it as a call to ban patenting genes found in people or to ban insurance companies taking your genetics into account, or even a call to ban insurance and socialize healthcare.
Battery packs are usually wired series parallel in a laptop, so you would see a sudden loss in remaining power rather than a sudden shutdown. For though, it might just power down suddenly unless you have two battery packs in parallel.
The last part of what you wrote - violent gangs - is something that can be prevented as far as Jihad goes: simply BAN ANY dawa activity in prison.
We can't even prevent rapes and shooting up heroine in prison, how do you propose to prevent subversive communication? In particular considering that freedom of speech and religion are inalienable rights.
Meanwhile, as long as it's safer and more profitable (or seems so) to join the criminals than fight them, we'll have a population open to jihadist sentiments.
As for the U.S. supporting jihadists, you made a distinction with little difference. We supported a group of jihadists that soaked up all of the resources we gave them and then merged with the Taliban. Key word, jihadists.
As for the rest, it wasn't that long ago that people complained in the U.S. of Italian and Irish immigrants taking over the place.
You're munging different conditions and problems together. That will only obscure the issue.
The issue of immigrants in Europe is not relevant to HOME GROWN terrorism, or even any terrorism, it's violent crime. For grins though, much of it is due to a well decayed culture in many parts of the Middle East. I know Muslims who grew up in the U.K. that other than not drinking alcohol seem much like other people from the U.K.
As for the U.S., I guess you've never heard of gangs (which often leads to prison which often leads to conversion to a radical flavor of Islam).
Since TFA was about preventing radicalization in the West, that was the issue I addressed.
As for extremism in the Middle East, we already did the big don'ts there like propping up bloody dictators with weapons and money then destroying people's homes and infrastructure to take our puppets down a notch, so even if we stop now it will take a while to improve matters. It's funny how nobody likes to talk about when the Taliban and Saddam were our bestest buds. If we quit laying down with dogs, we will quit getting up with fleas.
Radical extremist messages don't resonate with people who have a comfortable life. Every time the middle class gets pushed down, every time a full time job doesn't make ends meet, every time a simple medical problem costs several years income, the radical extremist messages come through a little louder and a little clearer.

It shouldn't need 5 wires to do that. It can even be done with 2 wires (and 1 wire won't support a thermostat at all).
What you suggest is the right way to do it, but it depends on having time allocated to doing it the right way and a manager who gives a crap about anything but squeezing out more features faster.

It's quite the double edged sword.

evil corporations cannot do that alone.
If not for government, they COULD take everything away and probably would.
No, but using the information from them for any meaningful purpose can and has been.
It really wasn't. You could as easily read it as a call to ban patenting genes found in people or to ban insurance companies taking your genetics into account, or even a call to ban insurance and socialize healthcare.
Explosion resistant is a much better term for this. It addresses some but not all reasons a LiIon battery might "vent with flame".
Battery packs are usually wired series parallel in a laptop, so you would see a sudden loss in remaining power rather than a sudden shutdown. For though, it might just power down suddenly unless you have two battery packs in parallel.
Not quite, no.The surround channel is encoded as a net differential between the left and right channels.
Look carefully at the polarities.
So, tell them no. Give them a list of countries that have it and suggest they ask around.

Again, we're talking about terrorism sparked in the west ("home grown terrorism"), not terrorism that comes from the middle east.
