  1. Need for separate browsing and operations on Attackers Drain CPU Power From Water Utility Plant In Cryptojacking Attack (eweek.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Come on. Don't run your operational systems on the internet, even if they need to be internet connected. Provide your employees with a separate system connected outside the LAN so that such issues are isolated. Another solution in non-sensitive areas is simply giving them Wi-Fi and access to their phones. All of these solutions present fewer problems than having employees on the operational system infecting the operational network.

  2. So automated trucks traveling between hubs, and trucks delivering from there. Sounds like we have trains already. Why not expand those to avoid putting traffic on the freeway?

  3. Re:Bubble Economics. on Bitcoin Plummets Below $8,000 For First Time Since November (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    This is very accurate. I do wish I'd gotten on board when it was in the $900 range, or lower obviously, but I can't imagine all the people who got it when it was fast approaching $20k, that is going to be a huge loss. With all the governments around the world blocking crypto currencies and loss of confidence it will probably settle at a more realistic number that represents the value of using your PC to mine it, providing processing power to those who don't want to build their own datacenter.

    Good points. I have not had these issues, but they clearly still exist.

    This makes so much sense. Back when RAM and storage space were relatively scarce it seemed the way to go without a doubt. I observed the advantages, but we have since outgrown the scarcity of resources available on modern systems, and a self contained program does seem to make far more sense in this age of computing.

  7. I imagine that if you were to hold a pacemaker, obviously not while it is in you, the battery would be replaceable. Plus now they are developing pacemakers that can be powered internally. I see what you're getting at, and it should be defined well, but we know that is unlikely.

  8. Exposure and accessibility on Tim Cook: Coding Languages Were 'Too Geeky' For Students Until We Invented Swift (thestar.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I can see exposure and accessibility being a factor in getting people interested in computer programming. Kind of like Carl Sagan's and Bill Nye's attempt to get simplified science to the masses. The reach sparked a passion in people that may have never had a reason to get into the field and expand their horizons.

    I can't wait to see what all they cure. I am also a little worried for those it fails on, or damages. Their blood will pave the way for a brighter future, as often happens to those under communist rule.

  12. No one actually likes phones being that thin, so I'll never understand the move.

  13. Thanks for the insight from a decade ago.

  14. I imagine this is true, but why are we getting 4.4mm jack, when so many phones are going super thin and they dropped 3.5mm because it was too big? Only thing I can imagine is if that's 4.4mm wide, and pretty flat. But if that's the case everyone (including Apple) should switch to just using USB-C. Sticking with Bluetooth for now.

    Google's habit of having everything in beta for nearly, or completely, its lifespan leads to things like this. The new features are the ones majorly being exploited. Accessibility getting around security? That is a major screwup considering that Android phones don't get regular updates. Some lower cost phones will never receive a patch and will be compromised for the entire time it is owned.

    When Bradley (active duty) released the stuff to wikileaks he did it in mass. He did not discriminate well on what he released. The video of killing the people, and then killing of the people coming to rescue the injured, is one thing. I wouldn't have ever done it, but I get what he was going for. Releasing tons of unrelated stuff that can hurt our objectives and server members is unforgivable. Now that Chelsea is released from prison she is using her trans status as a vehicle to jump on the progressive train for her own benefit. I heard that while in the Army he was a terrible private, and that gives me no confidence in him that could help recover his betrayal of the country he wants to represent. I say no, never. And it has nothing to do with her transition. (Gender applied chronologically)

    Yeah, recent tax bill is, as expected, more convoluted than what we had before. If we got rid of income tax it would fix almost all the deductions.

    I disagree. The more types there are, the more lawyers get used to circumvent a complex system. If we have an income tax, make it a flat rate across the board with limits on deductions. When I was brand new in the Air Force I paid $127 federal tax and got a return over $9000 (Dragonball reference!). I obviously took it, but found the system to be messed up. That's without having a tax-free deployment like I'm on now even. But I'd prefer eliminating income tax, and only have tax taken as you spend.

    Totally different things. I imagine they find software and firmware vulnerabilities all the time. Hardware is difficult to patch around, and obviously comes with the noteable performance hit.

    I can't recall what ancient civilization declared it, but they said taxation over 20% was slavery (not that they thought slavery was bad, just how they defined it). If we're going to be taxed for our money both coming and going we are in the same boat. There needs to taxes on either income, or expendatures, not both. The USA has not been free in almost 100 years since the income tax was implemented.
