Yeah, we should have to re-up those rules banning murder every ten years, just to make sure that a majority of us still agree. Also up for debate: all that feel-good Bill of Rights nonsense.;-)
I am a little sceptical that this is the problem you think it is. Veterans actually complain about police behavior, pointing out that those in military service in populated areas are expected to de-escalate situations if possible. They are also specifically prohibited from pointing their weapons at anyone they are not imminently expecting to shoot. This is in fierce contrast with police reaction to the Ferguson riots. Whatever you may think of the riots themselves, images of police with assault rifles aimed at protesters is a marked difference from military SOP.
Akamai does not like Krebs exposing out the DDoS attackers, because fear of DDoS is what brings Akamai business. This is a good excuse to try to get rid of Krebs.
That doesn't make sense. Akamai can't convincingly say "We can help [you businesses] with this scary problem of DDoS attacks" when Akamai demonstrably couldn't protect Krebs from a DDoS attack. From a financial perspective (i.e. "This is costing us too much money"), their actions make sense. From a conspiratorial one? Not at all.
Why does the cop believe you, rather than assuming you're throwing them a red herring so you can skip town? I am not making any claims about the appropriateness of any police action here. I just want to point out a hole in your scenario.
I am genuinely curious: What do you use on your phone? Do you use email with your own hosting etc.? If you are switching to the Amazon store, you might not be the product, but Jeff is going to try his hardest to sell you other products.
Their javascript file tries to inject some PHP to get a random number. Since it's a javascript file, not PHP, the random injection is not executed and remains as a string. The string is then used as part of an AJAX request url: https://lastpass.com/lastfm/index.php?rand=%3C?php%20echo%20rand(23,238923892389)?%3E Finally, their security crap goes "OH NO! ATTEMPTED PHP INJECTION" and crashes.
Ah, the vendor binaries. The ones that keep your camera and bluetooth working and have new versions every security update. If Google releases a 7.0 set, I'll take your post as accurate. (Although if they do, why not release the whole package?) If they don't, it's back to XDA (which I fully expect) and the first few versions of the BT driver will be flaky.
If Facebook went to the original WhatsApp business model ($1/year) and swore under penalty of dissolution that they wouldn't sell, disburse, or look at user data, I'd sign right up. They'd make a billion dollars a year! Who has access to the internet to the degree that FB is useful to them and can't afford a dollar a year?
But instead we have all this murkiness with adverts and data vending and TOS and outright lies.
Or maybe your friend let LinkedIn trawl his/her contact list. I have never been on Lin, but I receive requests from tangential acquaintances often enough that I think that must be what happened. I've seen similar crap on Facebook: "Awww, you don't have enough friends yet. Sign me in to all of your online services, so I can make you some friends."
It's actually pretty simple. Google has committed to supporting devices for three years, and the Nexus 5 is more than three years old. If you really want to run Nougat on a Nexus 5, though, you can do it. Just unlock the bootloader and flash it yourself.
Just unlock the bootloader, wait for AOSP to hit the repo*, [wait for XDA to**] tweak the hardware-specifics, and flash it yourself.
I don't think I understand. Why would you "bring online" some wind turbines in a period of high demand? If you already have them, why wouldn't you be running them all the time and use less coal? You're not paying for the wind. Then you still have the problem of spooling something up and down to match demand, but your baseline coal use is lower.
I'm not trying to disagree with you, I just don't get it. Your logic would make sense to me in any other case where there was a fuel cost to the "little generators." Possible holes in my logic include: (a) wear and tear on a turbine in its active state relative to just sitting outside unused might be comparable to the price of coal that is/isn't wasted; (b) something else?
This got modded into oblivion, but Google does not install bloatware on Nexus-branded devices.
As an owner of a Nexus 5, I call bullshit. I have Google Books, Google Music, Google+, Google Movies, Google Newsstand, and Google Games, not to mention the applications I actually want like Gmail and Maps. I also have "News and Weather" and probably some other ones I can't identify. None of them can be uninstalled without root.
Good luck trying to get the auditor to explain why you need to change your passwords every 90 days, in my experience they can't defend their requirements and simply say things like it's "best practice".
Right, which is why this study is important to the growing body of work showing that it isn't "best practice."
While I could agree with you on one level, the House of Representatives votes on the Presidency if there's not a majority. That sounds to me like all kinds of gerrymander-influenced crazy will result.

Binding laws are inherently undemocratic.

Mod parent up. GP's system is roughly the worst password security proposition I have heard this year.

Thank you. This is informative.

That is because the Slack client literally is Google Chrome.
Someone has a MD5 search to see if your password shows up:

When I try it, it throws an error ... anyways ...

Yes, exactly. They want other people to use their "service" so that they can later hold the service for ransom. This is their "path to monetization."

Ah, now I understand why a password policy for a service I had said you couldn't change your password >1x/hr
That's not a confidence scheme, Officer, it's performance art!

Hate to break it to you, but the U.S. did invade Iraq ten years earlier. Something about Kuwait.
