Because they have a mandate to manage property that is not theirs, obtained with currency.. I mean, "property" that was not created or backed by the federal reserve bank, and no matter what nation if extraction the individuals involved in the exchange of property are from, they need to perform excise on it, right?
So, I need to declare when I give property to another person on my W2. Such as when I give a Christmas present, or give blankets and coats to starving families.
Obviously this is rational, and essential for proper governance.
Ah, yes. Assume that I do not know the correct spelling is "weird", and that I did not spell it that way on purpose. Yes. Lets do that. Let's also assume based on this assumption that he is an idiot too. That's very convenient.
I would personally conclude that a person who is so intellectually lazy has no business making criticisms of this nature. But that's just me.
How about all the mountains of measurements collected by NOAA? Ice core samples collected in Antarctica?
AGW is very real, there is very solid data behind the claim. It is NOT a hoax.
Your replies indicate that you believe that I think that it is one, despite my rather pointed corrections to the contrary. Why do you feel it necessary to promulgate a falsehood?
Please read my initial post, and process it with that clearly labyrinthine brain of yours.
You will see that my objection revolves around this:
1) China objects to being called the source of what trump calls a hoax. 2) Stays strangely silent to the fact that it is not even a hoax at all, and that climate change from human action is very measurably real.
I think that very clearly demonstrates that I deny that it is a hoax.
The only hoax that china has come out against, is that they started it. (which they didnt.)
I see the reply is "We couldnt have created the hoax, because you guys did!" --- and NOT "Seriously? No. Your own scientists found the trend. It is not a hoax, and we did not create it."
They are perfectly OK with calling it a hoax, they just dont want to be the ones fingered for creating it.
It has come to my attention that you feel the bundling of Microsoft's defender product is bad for your business.
While I agree that bundling is a nefarious action, I also would like to point out the serious inferiority of your (ahem) "similarly priced" (ahem) products, when compared to the bundled product.
Even if the defender product was not bundled with windows, I find it very likely that users would prefer it over your advertisment laden, system resource hogging, nagscreen insistent offering of similar price. In comparison, windows defender consumes significantly fewer resources, wastes far fewer manhours of development on elaborate eye candy on an app that users would prefer did not have to be there in the first place, but simply need because of fuckwits who want to abuse the shit out of their computers when they arent looking-- and quite frankly, does not constantly demand money out of them every 6 months.
Perhaps if you offered a superior product, people would rush to install it?
Agreed. I would feel much better about this if they had targeted all of the campaign autodialer firms, and not just Hillary's. An election free from hounding pollsters, cold calls, and attack ads would be like waking up from a bad dream.
Too bad the autodialers diversify and innocent services get impacted by the denial of service.
Say I see something I know to be false being said online. I don't need a fact checker, I already know it is false. What I want to do is understand why the person making the statement is saying this known false statement.
So, I start researching the rhetoric-- only to be treated be an endless barrage of reminders that what I am researching is not factual, when in fact it is. I don't care about the face value of the statement, I am researching why people said it. It is true that they said it. I already know what they said, and that it is untrue.
Now, let's wade ankle deep into tinfoil hat territory. It is conceivably possible that the history of this research, which is intended to better understand the mindset if the people making the false claim, not the claim itself, could be recorded and added to whatever personalized browsing data the powers that be ( corporate, government, whatever) track on me, and it may lead them to incorrect conclusions about me, my mental capacities, and preferences for media.
On every level, this is a bad thing and should not happen.
The real problem with herbal medicine (in the western tradition), is that dosage is not reliable.
It isn't that there arent active compounds in the plants, or even that the treatments cant be effective-- the problem is that they are not reliably effective.
Further, it requires that the practitioner essentially be a pharmacologist. Most people have no god-damned clue about how a drug (herbal or otherwise) works in the body, and thus have no fucking clue about interactions, minimal effective dosage, et al.
Throw in a heaping mountain of willful ignorance (aka, stupidity) concerning "Natural is safer and better!", and you have the festering shitpile of popularized herbal medicine.
Can foxglove extract help treat hypertension? Yes. Is it safe or reasonable to do so? FUCK NO. Effective dose is close to lethal dose! Does the fact that it came out of a plant make it somehow safer than the dosage controlled, purity assured, and highly tested synthetic preparations available through a doctor? FUCK NO.
If you are involved in a horrible plane crash, and need something antimicrobial, and need it right now, and do not have access to a properly dosed and reliable preparation, then using an herbal alternative is better than doing nothing. That is about where its usefulness in modern settings ends. Of course, that begs the question that the person using/making the herbal preparation knows what they are doing-- Very very few proponents of herbal remedies actually do.
Dont let the title mislead you here, not trying to troll.
The issue this article is really about, is about people not having the time to self-educate, and as such, not having time to fact check their media consumption.
Firstly, this is feature creep in the browser. The browser allows you to consume the information of your choosing. It should not interfere in one's choice of information to consume, so "No."
This is a consequence of being overworked (Notice that this is for the United States, land of the 1-week a year "vacation."), and having insufficient time for personal improvement activities.
When there is a "Now you no longer have to do all that troublesome and time consuming fact checking and self-improvement, because you can use our convenient Truthiness App instead!", you just produce a channel by which "truth" (the political kind!) can be disseminated to the masses without question. So, "Hell no."
It also obviates yet another challenge against the time demands of the corporate interests against their workers, because now they dont really need all that time to themselves for self-improvement. Which brings us to the obligatory "Go fuck yourself."
The real solution is to stop robbing people of personal time, because that is what causes this problem to begin with.
These devices would be just as terrible running any other OS, since they basically tell the whole universe how to log into then with cookie cutter default credentials.
Not only will this allow them to have a better view, but apparently the helmet will also let the wearer tag enemy and friendly soldiers, and also designate targets and send information back to the commander.
Unless you think the tank will be trailing a big fiber bundle behind it...
So, his long until Russia uses WiFi hacking to override the video feeds, and superimpose comical cartoon characters, anti Ukrainian propaganda, or just straight up edit out enemy armor from the feed?
Maybe even use the tank cams against the Ukrainians by just monitoring the feeds and using it for intelligence purposes to target the tanks with air support.
1) The device ships in "Insecure, please rape the shit out of me!" mode, with open Telnet, and a default root password.
2) The software that comes with the IoT device looks for this insecured bundle of filth. It then generates a random 32byte password, stores it in its local config file for the device, sets it on the device, and tells the device to generate a new crypto key pair. It then connects over the secure connection, and remotely disables the telnet port. It does all this while the user looks at pretty pictures or something.
3) Once the device is in "Secure mode", it no longer listens on any port for telnet traffic, and does everything over SSH with the generated keys, and the random password.
All the user has to do is "insert the damn CD into the tray and set up the device, idiot." and off they go with a secured device.
For those of us with the inclination, we can start with the unsecured mode, manually log in via telnet, and set it up the way WE want.
In my opinion, this demonstrates some simple things.
If the IoT creators cannot be bothered to properly secure their devices out of the gate, then they need to give some nonvolatile storage of some kind that can hold the files in/etc, and perhaps/home.
It does not need to be big. 2mb would be spacious.
Just enough that the init system can be tailored, the root password can be changed, and the cryptokeys can be regenerated and retained.
That way somebody can honest to god actually secure their device after purchase. You know, disable that open Telnet daemon, change the default root password, and use some hard to crack 4096bit keys for SSH that aren't all over the damn net.
They could do this the way eg, OpenWRT does it, with a pivot root. It could be reset to the "Factory insecure state" by holding in the reset button that way, preventing users from breaking it on a misconfiguration. If it would cost too much to make the devices properly secure out of the box, then at least give them enough real internal storage that mounts properly on boot, that people that DO know what they are doing can fix their fuckups after purchase, and have it stick.
it is low for ANNEALING, not for superconductor operation.
This sounds like a fairly high temperature super conductor.
To resolve the issue with 2d planes being the superconductive part, they need to find a way to extrude one phase inside a tube made of the other, then anneal. that would create a 2d cylinder down the length of the wire.
the story at slate that i read says nothing about icmp, it talks exclusively about DNS lookups, incuding after the trump server admin team changed the authoratative host name of the server in question.
unless somebody in Russia is clairvoyant, or the thousands of recorded transactions were somehow faked, it means somebody in the trump server admin team contacted Alfa bank's admin team, and gave them the new resolution host data. It was not up long enough for normal record proliferaton to be accounable for allfa getting the updated record.
again, "ping" used by the journalist just means "contacted", not an actual ICMP connectivity test stream.
They were supposedly looking at DNS query data only, and noticed the activity, after looking to see if russian hackers were infiltating GOP servers like they had purportedly infiltrated DNC servers.
I would settle for a fully replaceable ssd, maybe a single sodimm or mini pcie socket.
Having to play "grope and tickle" with soft links to a functioned SD card to overcome limited storage on consumer tablets, and having to kluge around MS's absurd stance that SD cards always mount with removable storage flag set ( so no complex partition tables) is bullshit. Give me a real m.2 socket.

Are you being purposefully obtuse?

I am NOT a climate change denier. The data is incontrovertable, regardless of what morons say about hockeysticks.
I am pointing out that the verbiage used is suspicious.

While I can unabashedly attest to Trump being a whiny bitch, I cannot say the same about his being a woman.
Which is why the device should not work "as expected" until you set it up.
Don't even enable the services it needs to have running unless both telnet is disabled, and sshd is running.
Have step 1 of troubleshooting be "did you run the configuration software?".
But I see you like moving the goal post. Good luck with that.
These devices would be just as terrible running any other OS, since they basically tell the whole universe how to log into then with cookie cutter default credentials.
This part?

See my reply to the AC.
Easy to fix. Always unique keys, always unique root passwords. Cheap and easy to implement.
Unless inserting a CD and running SETUP is to hard for your grandpa, anyway.
Here is how you do it:
1) The device ships in "Insecure, please rape the shit out of me!" mode, with open Telnet, and a default root password.
2) The software that comes with the IoT device looks for this insecured bundle of filth.

More reasonable, IMO, is the intelligence agencies feel threatened politically post-snowden.
As such, they want dirt/leverage over who they consider will be the next president.
An open and ongoing investigation is powerful leverage to avoid cutting intelligence budgets, or revoking mandates.

Duh. ;)
