In fact, if you live there already you should seriously consider moving. Don't even worry about getting a good price for your house... anything you get will be enough because houses other places are cheaper.
I would advise buying your next LED bulbs on an online site that allows you to post reviews, then when they fail, going back to the product page and giving it a bad review. And try to remember to give a good review to whatever bulb has outlasted the others once a year.
Countries that overwork their workforce pay out the back end in health care costs and the market inefficiencies resulting from having a bunch of stressed out sleep deprived yahoos running around doing stupid things.
For some use cases, tne big advantage of Skype, Slack, HipChat, Discord, and other web-based functional clones of IRC over IRC itself is that they store chat history on the server side.
...for other use cases this feature is actually now legally tenuous (GPDR and such) and may require, depending on the country of origin of the users and/or the service provider, staffing to remove any PII that ends up in the channel or exercise the "right to be forgotten".
So if they cannot already, I'd expect these protocols to make that feature optional.
I'm not misunderstanding at all. I know exactly what they are trying to say, and disagree strongly. I find the people who push that derogatory label onto the more technologically inclined to be absurd hypocrites.
Try to add an additional alternate to apple store or google play and have it treated on an equal footing with the mainline... in Debian it's as easy as adding some repo tags/keys.
I think central idea of a "Techno Salvation" proposition is that technology will save us without our having to do anything to actually address the problem.
I think that's an oxymoron, because technology doesn't do anything without us having to do something. All major technological initiatives will have to be payed for, usually out of the public trust, so if you're complaining that people who refuse to recycle or turn their lights off when they aren't in the room because they think fusion power is right around the corner are trying to "not do anything"... well no, they are signing up for much higher individual taxes.
Even the GGP's idea of planting lots of trees is essentially geoengineering, and reduction programs are socio-engineering, so you might as well lump them in there too. The only positions that would not qualify are nihilist luddites who think if they just chill out, live in yurts, and not have any children, things will magically improve (they won't: the children of people who didn't do that will be around to ensure that they don't). Between everything else and that, the latter sounds more "faith based" than the former, frankly.
Yeah, the uses of the end-product don't seem to fill enough potential market areas for this to piggyback on existing industry either... how much "floor binding material" could we possibly need.
I'm waiting for some crazed corporate shill to point to this study and say "microplastics are saving the planet"
"Techno Salvation" isn't a faith based proposition. It's a last-ditch effort the rational members of any species would attempt in the face of impending catastrophe and intractable public behavior.
In other words, there's no reason anyone has to believe it will work to try it... just the chance that it might and the lack of confidence in other recourses is enough.
I was thinking something slightly less blunt, like "I've got 150 seconds to do this transaction or I miss my flight out of the country and the local mafia is hot on my heels for that expose I wrote for the AP." But OK.
My point is that this extra verification step may come at an extremely inconvenient or stressful time, and may in fact be a big deal in some situations, adding more stress or delay to an already tenuous situation. And given the metric they are using, the likelihood of it kicking in at just those times is much higher than its general-case probability.
Seriously though... has it occurred to them that they may end up denying people's transactions at critical moments of stress due to behavioral differences. Like, I really need to get this hotel room after walking 5 miles in sub-zero weather from my dead car, but I can't transfer goddamn money to checking?
PHB lied to the workforce during an unpopular HQ relocation which was of dubious benefit, leaving them demoralized, then decided to stop providing a service to customers and expected us to lie to them by pretending no such decision had been made.
It's quite obvious his supporters don't. They'll tell you he's a "flawed vessel" and they only put up with him for the policy and judicial appointments.
It doesn't seem to occur to them that if the only people who will support your policies and judicial appointments are rat bastards, maybe something is wrong with your policies and judicial appointments.
Such negative language. The upload of the private keys to the cloud will be a "backup service" and the usage tracking data collected by the management app and uploaded to google servers will be a "security auditing service."
In all seriousness, though, why should we trust Yubikey, Google, or any security key that doesn't publicly post its design and firmware for independent external audit? FST-01 or bust.
I clicked your signature link and saw you get Linux running on a printer - eight years ago. That's cool. Why?
I had some pent up regrets about not using any of the digital systems control stuff I learned in college... never did get far enough to do anything useful with it since I was amply distracted poking at the thousands of mystery registers.
Basically the way I saw it a printer is a prewired little robot... there's a lot more on there than just steppers and switches, more than you'd think. It's got light level sensors, environmental pressure/temp sensors and a lot of other goodies. So I got it as far as I did and fished around for anyone else interested in participating, but everyone seemed to enjoy soldering too much to care.
It was at least something that a security researcher documenting how easy it was to embed malware on printers could point to as an example... the models I was using were not ethernet/wifi connected, but the fact you could overwrite the flash by parport or though their CF card slot could show the "problem" predating those models.
The Internet, as far as search engines go, was long ruined well before this.
Most of the stuff you have to dig into obscure google docs or use "advanced search" to get google to do -- it used to do quite well back in the days either naturally with a few obvious extra search terms, or with some rather more well documented syntax... it got significantly dumbed down in 90s and some stuff it just can't do anymore.
No fan of Bing, but making search engines more code-aware (not code-aware as in "oh that's code better omit it" but code-aware as in useful for searching code) is an admirable endeavor. Of course, results matter and I'll believe it when I see it... outside of examples from the PowerPoint slides used by the devs to promote their project at conferences.
Yeah well, because the computers are all shit that leaves all us folks who actually bother to secure our routers with no competitive edge over people who just slap together a vendor-provided template and call it a day... only in rare cases do the hackers actually have to resort to attacking the network infrastructure.
(Anyway this is why I don't allow the "management" systems any write access or access to the password MIBs. I'll set up my own backups and deployment scripts, thank you, and I don't want your significantly-worse-code-quality-then-the-routers bloatware making any changes... visibility is all it's good for. I don't mind entering passwords a few extra tmes a day if it helps me sleep at night.)
Quite often, the non-standard features Cisco offers become standardized 5-10 years later.
Sure, but the standard is usually slightly different enough to be incompatible (because Cisco may be a leader but they also tend to be a bit short-sighted in their prototype standards... notwithstanding that hindsight is 20/20) When that's something like CDP vs LLDP, no big deal. When you are trying to integrate inter-vendor and your STP or multi-chassis-bonding won't interoperate well, it's a bigger deal.
Spending $500 more (usually more actually) for some features can be a good thing... but using certain features that lock you into future purchases of more expensive gear means the cost of those features is more than you see in front of you. (I'm not quite old enough to have legitimate reason to go on a rant about ISL framing, so I won't.) Lately I've been wondering if they are losing their mojo, having recently had to deal with other vendors following suit on a plainly screwed up client static ip tracking feature sending ARP Probes rather than ARP Requests, which they later tried to paper it over in a rather comical manner.
Cisco isn't the only company that tries to get you married to proprietary features mind you... whatever your SE is pushing the hardest for you to use deserves deep skepticism. Used to be fought in the clustering space... but these days it seems everyone has their own VXLANish thing.
CIsco sells the brand. There may be niche markets where cisco gear is needed, but in the majority of situations, any of a number of vendors would operate just as well. Cisco gets by on inertia... a combination of slightly non-standard features that unwitting users have started using and are locked into, and the general cowardice of network managers to make the leap to buying something other than what their predecessor bought.
Don't get me wrong, Cisco's gear is top notch (though "top notch" these days really is putting too shiny a finish on it... let's go with "least suck") but it is by no means head and shoulders above the competition, and rather expensive unless it's you only option (i.e. you're doing something weird with TDM/IP)

Something may be crummy with your power. Try different brands. Some are more tolerant of bad power than others.
For some use cases, tne big advantage of Skype, Slack, HipChat, Discord, and other web-based functional clones of IRC over IRC itself is that they store chat history on the server side.

So if they cannot already, I'd expect these protocols to make that feature optional.
And really, was that what the nation was based on?
No. But that's the idea the author of the article wants to slip under the tablecloth and up your dress while feeding you the drivel on top.
Must be a... how do the prosperity doctrine people say it... "high net worth individual"

Judging from the amount of effort that Russia puts into fighting the Magnitsky Act it's quite a bigger inconvenience.
FWIW, when you buy network gear it usually comes in with software that two release chains and at least a year out of date.
