It can be used so far as requesting a warrant for access to the actual software for the police to confirm these findings, which can then be used in a court as evidence - especially as the source of these leaks is obviously partial/biased against Ashley Madison. Remember when the hackers told them to cease operations immediately or have the data leaked?.
Yet another armchair asshole that doesn't realise that there are hundreds of major differences between a civil and a criminal case. Now granted, I'm no lawyer myself; but I've been involved in enough instances of both scenarios to know that you are completely wrong on every single point that you posted here. Fraud is a tort, that means it's a legal dispute between two private parties and the US government is not involved beyond impartial mediation and, if necessary, enforcement of the result. Private parties cannot request warrants but at the same time, they don't need them. Bias has no bearing in this kind of scenario unless you care to make the argument that it is necessary for a case like this to proceed.
The code is not the experiment, it's the tool that was used in the experiment; see the difference? You don't need the exact model beaker produced in the same year from the same manufacturer to prove a chemistry experiment true or false, similarly you don't need a line by line copy of the original code to test the theory.
What happens if the libraries have changed and the old code doesn't compile?
Then you read the f***ing error, and fix the f***ing code. This isn't like building IKEA furniture. A certain level of competency is required to compile software.
What if there is an error in a calculation that was introduced by a particular library version being used?
Let's ignore the fact that you're asking why changing the parameters of the experiment yields a different for a minute and address the obvious fact that an error is an error. If the results of an experiment are due to an error, then the conclusion of the experiment is invalid.
Your car analogy falls to pieces when you compare the population densities of the US vs Switzerland. We may have many many more people, but in comparison we are drastically underpopulated. But I don't expect you to stop worshipping the Swiss just because of a silly thing like perspective, after all arbitrary measures of success on paper regardless of the circumstances are all that count right?
Regulation is a hurdle all right, but I would expect that a company like Comcast already has lobbyists in place so if they had any actual intention of doing this then it wouldn't be a problem for them.
Infact Coke mentioned they hardly make any money in America anymore. If they left the US they will only be down 12% profits or something silly.
I like how you left out the part where the lack of profit is because of Coke taking a nosedive in sales over the past decade in the US due to the obesity crisis. Were you not here last week or so when that article about Coca-Cola funding a research team to prove that sugary drinks don't cause obesity was put up? Also, a completely avoidable 12% drop in profit due to an arbitrary decision? The CEO would be out on his ass before he got back from lunch. You're talking millions of dollars a year. You don't pull out of industrialized markets while you're still in the black, especially if your product consists mostly of luxury "comfort foods". You're trolling to suggest otherwise
Unionization in against a company like Coca-Cola will only expedite automation in that sector which is what TFA alludes to.
Switzerland is less than half the size of Pennsylvania. It probably took them a whole three weeks to run the lines and redundancies for their entire country, maybe four weeks because of the Alps. Lose the fedora and stop acting like these pint sized excuses for European countries are a relevant comparison in a discussion like this.
So kick out all private banks and insurance schemes and all the government can ensure safety in the event of loss or can lend money with force of law, both very reasonable propositions if you really think about it.
Are you kidding me? That is a fucking TERRIFYING proposition. Right now, if I default on a loan I can look forward to a few years of Ramen noodles, canned fruit and buying meat on the sell by date. Your proposition would potentially include prison time, indentured servitude or change in legal status (imagine having to tell every potential employer that you are a "debt defaulter" because some politician got it up his ass that it's no different from being a felon and your employer has a right to know). Right now, if I ever get so far underwater that I can't afford the lifestyle that I want than I have no qualms about leaving this country that I was born in and telling the lenders to go fuck themselves. But if my passport gets suspended, or I get extradited after I land just because the people I owe money to happen to be my government then that last option, that last refuge is off the table. These days money is synonymous with power and freedom which are both things that you never want to hand control of over to your government.
Taxation is a tried and proven system. If you want to tax the banks more then go right ahead. But what banks need, and what they sorely lack, these days isn't more regulation; it's more competition. We need to incentivize them to treat their customers better and circulate currency instead of hoarding it. The only way to do that is to have a new player in the game who is taking those customers away from them. Nationalization is the exact opposite direction that we should be moving.
I've had two or three co-workers who have managed to do this. One of them did day trading during his "downtime", he was in charge of agent scheduling and call analytics at a call center so he probably had about 30 mins of actual work a day anyway. The other guy would grab contract work from Rent A Coder. He was in data entry and had scripted most of his job without telling anyone about it. The third guy had an addiction to on-line gambling. I wouldn't call that a job simply because he was so bad at it. In all three instances they were fired for it.
So you're saying "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear", and that we should all accept a surveillance society because you've already been arrested.
Not even close, I'm saying that the information that GP was trying to protect is likely to already be on record. I can't wish away that they already have my fingerprints, that's just a fact that I and many others need to live with.
You should also assume they'll hand any of this crap over to governments if they demand it.
Due to that child abduction prevention database that came to my school when I was a kid, and my inherent inability to keep my mouth shut when interacting with the police; the government already has several copies of my full fingerprint sets on file. I can safely assume that I'm not the only one that falls into a similar category so, I'm not to saying that your concern is invalid, it's simply redundant.
The real question this brings up is "how secure is your fingerprint as a means of identification?". And the answer is half a million hits on Google for 'How to fake fingerprints'. This just goes to show the convenience is still inversely proportional to security.
Some of those textures, specifically the gravel roads, the sack skins and the cut stone, look like they were ripped from Skyrim. Now I know and understand why there will be some convergence of style regarding art assets, but looky here: http://www.re4hd.com/wp-conten... the sandbag ontop of the pile right next to the ladder. Tell me that doesn't look just a little too familiar.
Sunzi's idea of war was about coordination of multiple entities each doing their own thing to win a war.
Exactly, that text was fixated in bridging the gap from second to third generation warfare and was still focused on massed maneuvers of infantry against well defined targets. The world saw first hand the pinnacle of that during the German Blitzkrieg and by the time the Cold War between the US and the USSR set in the it was done with it. Traditional war between super power states had set the barrier to entry too high for new players to enter in and so the Maoist model of warfare has become predominant. Everyone from the Viet Cong to Iran and ISIL have been following the doctrine of fourth generation warfare since then and "cyber-warfare" fits that strategy better than any other. This article is stupid because TAOW, although interesting enough to read, is no longer applicable in today's world.
There is some practicality to be realised here. What if instead of carrying around ten prefab copies of every component that might get damaged during operation you just carried around a block of material and printed out what you needed for repair on an as needed basis? This would also reduce the amount of loss due to components being damaged, warped or what ever the hell else in transit. As a civilian I have not the slightest idea what cost savings this might provide, but as a taxpayer the the thought of the US Navy of all organizations saving money brings a smile to my face. I don't even care if every penny of that savings gets dumped back into the F-35, it's still a step in the right direction.
Allow his hologram to appear at the event and give his little performance then garnish his wages from the venue. If he wants to complain he can drive his happy ass to Chicago, walk into any courthouse and fill out the required forms. That way you make the issue clear, it's not about free speech or censorship; it's about the suspension of his right to generate revenue in a city where he is a wanted criminal. That way the people get the concert they paid for, the venue keeps its reputation and none of their equipment gets smashed and the only person who loses is the degenerate that is constantly causing trouble for the city. But instead we have this crap where they drag everyone involved into the situation and create a ton of extra work for themselves. What the heck? It's like they're not lazy enough to run a city properly.
So what we are going to see in the next year or so is a dramatic increase in call center jobs in Austin and other Google fiber markets. Companies who specialize in collections, over the phone "tech support", sales etc. are going to be creaming their pants over the fact that they no longer have to pay for office space, heating, cooling or electricity and all they have to do is up-sell the idea of working from home to their happy little drones. No more worries about people coming into the office late, dressing inappropriately, fraternization between employees, liability for injury on the job site, anyone with the flu will no longer get the entire office sick. Gee, I wish I owned a business where Google paid for a chunk of my operating costs while alleviating most personal problems. Why they wouldn't even have to pay much more than say $12 an hour; after all it's not like the employees have to pay for the high-speed internet connection that the company is directly capitalizing on or gas to get to work. Good god, I respect Google;s intentions here, but this is going to hurt just as many people by sticking them with dead-end jobs as it will help.
Why limit it to those in public housing? Why not offer it to all low income families?
My guess would be that they don't want to commit to potentially running new cable into every privately owned house in every market they cover. With public housing they only have to deal with a single management entity per geographic area. Where as if they offered this to every low income household in range of their service then they would have to contact every slum-lord and each of their superintendents to set up appointments, get permission and possibly even permits depending on the amount of work that has to be done for each and every site. You can't help everybody but that shouldn't reflect negatively on their intentions here.
tl;dr: Charity has it's limits, even if you're Google.
I'm being completely serious here, normally when it comes to "gender issues" I try to listen even though the outcome is almost invariably that I'm not a women so I can't possibly understand. But in this particular instance who the hell is the victim here? No one who is qualified for a $200K+ per year job finds it by clicking on banner advertisements, the only impact they have ever had on anyone who doesn't fall into the category of functionally retarded is possibly to remind them to update their LinkedIn profile. The only conclusions from this 'study' that I can draw in order of likelihood are A.) The option for Male is default for Google profiles and click-fraud bots rarely bother to change it. B.) More men surf the internet while intoxicated or depressed; because no one without an impaired sense of judgement would ever think that anything productive could come from clicking on those ads. C.) Possibly that men are more impulsive than women and simply follow the advertisement "just to see where it goes".
Let's for a moment play along with the people who are crying bloody murder over this and say that there is some vast conspiracy to hide these kinds of ads from women; it still isn't going to impact the number of females who get six figure jobs. Finding work, takes work; anyone who is actually looking for a job will tell you that regardless of gender a well paying job will never just fall into your lap. Do you want to know how the women who is making $200K a year got that kind of salary? The answer is simple: She didn't stop looking until she found it.
C is not C++. Since the release of C99 you haven't been able to treat C++ as a superset of it's predecessor. Now with the push to rapidly update C++ every other year or so, the differences between them are going to become drastically noticeable even to the most novice user pretty soon.
Isn't this an acceptable solution? Give them space where they can have their way. Radiosensitivity is a harmless crazy. It's not like the United States of America lack space. Every year many thousands of tech freaks gather in a desert to live out their dream of a high tech tribal life. Isn't there room for other loonies too?
You're missing the story between the lines here aren't you? Most of the people here are as well. The real reason that the residence are complaining is that this is a tiny rural town in West Virginia and most of the existing population will not be able to weather any amount of gentrification. After all it was chosen for the site of these radio telescopes because there was never any pre-existing infrastructure to reconfigure or rip-down. The types of people that can just uproot their lives and move to a backwoods town in the middle of nowhere are either retired or independently wealthy. Either way that family home that some-ones great great grand-pappy built with his own two hands is getting knocked into the dirt where it belongs and a shiny new McMansion is going up. They're pissed because there ain't nothin' that brother-cousin Cletus can do about any of it.
Did you even read that article you posted? In the third paragraph the author complains that pictures of black holes don't exist. Honestly think about that for a minute. Let's ignore the stupidity of imaging a black object against a black backdrop for a second (although it does remind me of a historic work of art done by one Bullwinkle Moose). You have a phenomenon that is so dense light cannot escape it's gravity well. How in the fuck, pray tell, is light supposed to reflect off of it for a picture? The "unidentified objects" that this quack so readily dismisses are examples of hawking radiation by the way. He then goes on into a rambling tirade about how establishing theory using an ideal model isn't 100% accurate, as if no one in the scientific community is aware of this fact. By the time I get to his division by zero argument, I just want to hit him. I want to find this guy and kick him in the shin. "Duh, you can't divide by zero", yeah and -1 doesn't have a square root either; that doesn't stop the equations from being right.
You post about how a decent physicist and mathematician would understand this stuff better then the guys who devote their lives to studying it and then you post an article by someone who's math ability is somewhere short of pre-algebra. Way to make an argument.
Likely their teams experience with a real-time platform and I strongly suspect additional cost of compatible equipment. I would bet an arm that the dev community for drivers in Linux is exponentially larger then that of any RTOS on the market.
For some people 6 figures ain't enough... With 6 figures you will still have to work 20 years for your mortgage ?
Yes, this is why we call it a 20 year loan... Loans are not like credit card debt, there is no actual reason to pay them off before they are due. This idea of "living debt free" is just some idiot idea that gets spread around from people who A.) Don't understand the concept of liquid assets (which your credit most certainly is) or how to manage them or B.) are pathological fuck-ups and even though they appear to have things in hand at the moment, they know that eventually they are going to default on everything. Do you know why the debt in the average American household is $10K+? Because for normally functioning individuals this is not a problem to handle.
Slashdot Mirror
Competition? Hah! Did you forget how government contracts work?
It can be used so far as requesting a warrant for access to the actual software for the police to confirm these findings, which can then be used in a court as evidence - especially as the source of these leaks is obviously partial/biased against Ashley Madison.

...the fact that you can't continue borrowing on a loan.
That is the exact fact that I was referring to. It's a lot more significant than you seem to think.
Did you even read that article you posted? In the third paragraph the author complains that pictures of black holes don't exist. Honestly think about that for a minute.
