Amazon's profits are quite healthy if you don't include spending for for future growth. Ditto AWS. That's what investors are counting on: fat margins once growth slows (it's also why the stock is getting hammered recently: as growth slowed costs went crazy). Amazon's share of retail is in the 5-10% range.
I don't really see how Amazon mixing their stuff with competitors' stuff on their store is somehow worse for consumers than the norm of selling only your own stuff. If JC Penny started selling Amazon Basics alongside their normal brands on their store, would that somehow be worse? But that's what this law targets. Doesn't make sense to me.
No. It's so weak that it doesn't count as 1 factor. This has been true for years. The first exploits in the wild of MitB + SMS hack happened years ago. Any organized crime group that can hack your browser can be assumed to also be hacking SMS.
Plenty of other 2FA approaches actually work. Especially those that (gasp!) don't use a phone (a mobile sack of vulnerabilities).
Hopefully they won't fix this, sounds like a god-send.
Yeah, good thing there's no security risk involved in DNS issues with Windows Update. I can't think of anything an attacker could do by hijacking Windows Update to install arbitrary software patches. It'll be fine.
It's a well-known secret that both parties have an agreement to slowly raise the minimum wage below the rate of inflation but to have a big media shit-storm every time to socially signal to "their" voters that they're being represented. The whole thing might be the biggest con in history.
I dunno, the fake debate over immigration is a pretty good con job too. As are politicians pretending that they care about non-financial issues like abortion or gay marriage, to distract voters from corruption.
But there was a time when politicians had to deliver something occasionally. I guess that has faded from living memory.
No, they don't. There's simply no need to allow a PBX to spoof a prefix other than the one assigned (the last few digits, fine, but that's not the problem).
And if equipment and protocols need to change? Fucking do it. Sooner started, sooner fixed.
Hardly.....isn't it fully within the capabilities of the telecom companies to stop third-party caller ID spoofing?
T-Mobile has done an impressive job with just their corner of the network. A year or so ago Spoofed IDs started showing up as "Scam Likely". Now my phone doesn't even ring for those calls.
But every provider needs to cooperate in confirming that calls originate from the claimed prefix. There is no problem with PBXs here, VOIP or otherwise.
I've been amazed recently by stories of how bad it's gotten at Google. Just last week someone who has worked at both said that Google was worse than Amazon. Very strange.
Amazon has really been trying to change their culture when it comes to engineers, but at least while I was there they failed to do so. The culture of using people up was just to ingrained. It's far worse in the warehouses of course - that's a dystopian nightmare, IMO.
Or, a better number: total tax revenue is just over $3 trillion, so the bank bailout by CNBC's numbers was "all taxes paid for 9 years" Even if that's 3x too high, that's still the where more tax dollars go than anywhere else.
When IGW makes shit up and presents no numbers to back it up
CNBC estimates the total size of the bank bailout at $29 trillion. That may be a bit high, but it's the right order of magnitude once you include all the money the Fed used to buy mad mortgage-backed securities. By comparison, total federal spending is just over $4 trillion, up 145% from 2000.
That's a damn good return on investment for the campaign contributions from the bankers.
you can safely disregard the apologist faggot for the hoarding of the 0.001%
On of us here is saying "no, the government isn't shoveling money to the 1%", and I'm pretty sure I'm not the one saying that.
Indeed. That's "the Establishment" in a nutshell. And sadly the Establishment seems to have a stranglehold on government (far deeper and more complex than the portion related to corporations giving to politicians - that's just the tip of the iceberg). It's not obvious what to do about it, as it's not a Democrat vs Republican thing, it's an Establishment v Outsider thing, and the primaries are fairly locked down. Not entirely though: there may be some hope there still.
"Republican traitor confuses tax money with bribery, supports Trump without a scintilla of awareness of the irony, news at 11"
What government program has received the most federal government money this century? Trick question: it's the Bush/Obama Bank Bailout. Single biggest destination for tax dollars was the Swiss bank accounts of bankers.
You know that gap in rewards for productivity? The lack of wage growth for the 99% this century despite productivity growth? The total sum of that gap for 18 years is roughly the amount of money given to bankers by the government. That's where the money went, if you were wondering.
Speak for yourself. Tax money is mostly graft. If Amazon accidentally helps someone with this obvious scheme to lower dev wages around their new HQ, more power to them. At least most of the money doesn't go to campaign contributors.
I don't want my web browser to block any of that. It's not its job. Pop up a warning for sites on a list of known phishing/attack sites, that's fine as long as there's no sending my every URL to the mothership to do it. But that's browser security, not content blocking.
This will always be the easiest, especially when the interpreter is built into ROM on a machine that boots in a few milliseconds. Nothing will ever top the Commodore 64 for ease of unpack box -> hello world.
You're modded down because Slashdot moderation is almost entirely political reflex these days.
Rotten Tomatoes critic scores are just garbage. They reflect whether a movie is "the sort of movie people should see" in the mind of critics, not whether a movie will be engaging or entertaining. That was fine back in the day when that just meant boring, incomprehensible art-house films would be on top: ask an enthusiast for a recommendation and you're unlikely to get something practical. It was easy to ignore those and get real value from critics. Now it's all politics, and fuck that noise.
Rotten Tomatoes viewer scores are pretty good. Sure, you have to adjust for the lowest common denominator, and discount broad comedies and Transformers movies, but that's easy.
Well put. Java has really gone beyond being the new COBOL (it was that 15-10 years ago) to being what everyone uses for back-end systems. The shift to distributed systems (cloud or otherwise) meant that performance on any given system nearly vanished as a consideration, and C++ along with it in that space. Plus, phones grew powerful enough where you might as well use Java there too. With Microsoft losing its dominance, "Java and C#" has become "Java".
Javascript totally dominates front-end work, so it's no surprise, with the rise of "full stack devs" that it's growing for back-end work as well. I'm quite happy that I'll retire before I'm faced with that.
You cannot possibly miss the constant streams of job offers from electrical utilities, medical corporations, the large chain stores, telephone companies, and so on, requiring grunt programmers who do Java.
Not to mention Amazon, Google, Facebook, and Netflix.
Yes, she was call all Trump supporters, roughly half the country, the Nazi sympathising fringe of the Alt-right. That was very much understood, and won't soon be forgotten.

That's taking protectionism to the extreme. Not even a high tariff, but just a "nope". Interesting times.

Run on a campaign of executing robocallers and spam mailers and you'll get a thousand times the voters.
Politicians who say "we need more regulation" are usually full of shit. Get rid of robocalls, and I'll take you seriously.
Politicians who say "we need smaller government" are usually full of shit. Get rid of the TSA, and I'll take you seriously.
How did we end up with a government where no one on either side ever fixes anything?

At least in the army everyone knows the deal.

You might think so, but the math says they were given it directly by the government (on top of whatever they may be hoarding).
Campaign contributors give $x in response for about $10x back in tax dollars.

and openjdk you can write embedded control software in Java too.
It's only a matter of time before my antilock brakes pause for garbage collection, I guess.

That is not a QA process. QA is a profession, with skills and mindset all its own.
