I'd avoid any career in IT or Software Development. Why? Companies 20 years ago viewed IT as a core competency that needed to be developed in house and fostered. Now they view it as something that they can buy or outsource. That's not good if you're starting out and looking to get 40+ years in the industry. Sure, there's always web development jobs but all these bootcamps and schools popping out web developers only plays into the hands of minimal wage growth.
My suggestion, apprentice as a Plumber or HVAC tech. Both are well paid, in-demand and everybody has plugged up a toilet from time to time.
another example of why we need to have informed legislators in gov't. This won't solve anything but to allow companies to attack proxied hosts who have either been compromised themselves or are sitting in public clouds. The latter is the bigger issue which cloud providers struggle with. It may also be true that companies that avail themselves of fighting back may themselves be targets for violation of US Federal law where it comes to illegal computer access.

It doesn't go far enough. Facebook, Intellius et al. need to be prohibited from collecting any data from anyone without an opt-in and controls as to what they can collect and when.
It's about control. Think about it, how many flights have you been late as in it's just departed? It happens but that's what trip insurance is for. True they'd have to remove any checked bags for missing/late passengers but they'd have already flagged it and have those bags identified especially for international flights.
The downside is that this is a big land grab in terms of privacy. Now, for one or two potential "late/missing" passengers all passengers have to submit their photos or it happens at check-in. What happens to that information after the flight? Does it get deleted?
No, much like the dumb security bin systems you see at Heathrow, this is a bad airport idea.
Sorry but if questioning bulk collection, secret courts and the US spying on their own citizens makes me a 5th columnist, pass the borscht comrade. Wake up and read what started all of this too because We aren't the global arbiters of truth anymore.
Pompus twits like you who blindly follow along believing the US is beneficent and can do no wrong will be the death of our constitutional rights all because of terrorists and dem ruskies.
Kaspersky has worked to uncover some of the worst malware out there and I think that's at the root of this. Why? Because the US has lost some of its best tools for spying, hacking and infiltration because of their work. Does it bother me that they're based out of Russia? No. We still do a lot of business with the Russian gov't and that's what gets lost. Anybody remember the ISS? How do US astronauts get to/from it?
So okay, US Gov't show us your "evidence" show us what the NSA knows about Kaspersky in terms of what backdoors or malware they've infected millions of PCs with. Otherwise shut up and ban Russian Vodka instead.
That's what I was thinking as well. The traffic is bad and rather than working on that problem, let's go after an app that takes maximum advantage of the infrastructure already built out? It's a classic diversionary tactic.
I'll be more impressed when the robots can read the swedish/english/chinese directions and assemble it from scratch. I'll be more impressed when it can differentiate between which fasteners are there and to actually use the dumb tools that Ikea provides.
Until then IMO this was an exercise in robotic programming. Maybe Elon Musk can use the software developers to get the Model 3 line moving faster? #slowNewsDay
I didn't say Old School, I indicated that there are people who are well versed in logistics and assembly line optimization. People may bitch about US car mfg. quality but I'll also add that some of that is old history.
I also view those who buy a Tesla are also looking for a status symbol, but the same can be said by the people who buy Ferraris etc. It's a status symbol and people are reluctant to complain about issues with their favorite toys especially when it drives them into a wall.
I do respect what Musk is trying to accomplish it's that he does make great predictions and now in this e-mail he's made another one that he'll not even get close to. He may get his 2500 or even 3000/wk but the logistics involved are beyond his capabilities. He can't micro-manage his way out of these kinds of issues and that from a financial sense would make a potential investor more nervous than anything. He hasn't built that really good management team at Tesla it seems that can work these kinds of issues out, he has to jump in and fire or restructure for a car that hasn't been in production but a few months. That isn't what Wall Street likes to see and why he's taking a beating from analysts. Yes, they don't build anything and he's trying to but again is it the vision or the execution here? Now it's execution and if he says they'll get to 6000 anything less is a failure to the short attention spanned Wall Street analysts that will filet him in June.
The only reason of the "X per week" argument is to appease Wall Street analysts, so called "experts" who have never built anything in their lives. What Musk needs to do is maintain the vision but turn over operations to those more qualified to eek out every optimization in logistics and the assembly line. There's plenty of those folks available in Detroit but I guess he wants to DIY...
I get end-user testing, early preview releases are a good thing, I preach it and live it but frankly these wholesale massive semi-annual fuck-overs to add one or two "features" is annoying as fuck. Every time there's hardware compatibility problems, delays in releasing them because they're refreshing the whole fucking planet. I get that they want to unify frameworks, that's good but for god's sake stop with this 1GB+ downloads and installs that fail over and over again until they finally get it right. Hopefully this should serve as a wake-up to Redmond that they're fucking over their customers and like me a lot of them are minimizing their exposure to Windows OS at least on the desktop.

I seem to have this burning rash on my rear and watery eyes after upgrading to 1803. Is this normal?
That worked out well for James Damore.

The companies that have sold tech to Iran that enables them to do this should be the real story here, not just one app

I trust the NSA, FISA, FBI and bulk collection about as far as I could throw them.

I grew up in LA area and it's gotten worse since the 80's.
60s.. #FTFY
except when they directly cause harm or injury, like flying into terrain?
or maybe when they run over someone?
That's what I was thinking as well. The traffic is bad and rather than working on that problem, let's go after an app that takes maximum advantage of the infrastructure already built out? It's a classic diversionary tactic.
It's not that kind of roach!?!?
When my Ex-Wife let out loud, obnoxious sounds my hard drives didn't self-destruct. My mind did, but not my hard drives.
