Dear lords as a cybersecurity/IA professional reading this thing makes my head hurt from the buzzword bingo and absolutely worthless definitions included within.
"taking into account the novelty of the technology used" - what? WTF does that mean? Is that a legal phrase or the verbal diarrhea of a staffer that thinks this sounds cool but is worthless from a legislative, and more importantly judicial, perspective? The corporate lawyers are going to run rings around this B.S.
When I actually can get broadband that is better than the average speed in Belize. Which with Comcast will happen about a year after hell freezes over..
There are lies, damn lies, and statistics. Looking at what I can find on the study I don't trust its modelling and I can't find the data that categorically shows they had an 'egg' category on the self-report. But if you do have it please link it in.
I have to agree with Aighearach that this seems to be an oversimplification of what is a more complex issue that needs a more rigorous methodology to track actual consumption by the subjects over time as the primary data source and not aggregate information from studies that could have been incorrectly conducted, incorrectly analyzed, or just plain falsified.
Looking at the articles by the author he's not a games 'journalist' (and very few of the people calling themselves game journalists have a clue how to actually be a journalist), so I'm not sure why I should care what he thinks about RDR2 (BTW I have not bought/played the game, so I don't have a dog in the fight myself). If this was an article of cultural or artistic aspects of the game he might be a bit more qualified in his opinion, but to someone who is not specifically interested in this genre of games of course this is going to be boring.
Imagine trying to get Johnny who's only game experience is CS:GO to play Civilization. He might take an interest, but I'm going to bet he's going to think you're torturing him by making him play a slow/boring game.
Does anyone with more than two brain cells still believe RT is relevant? Five years ago it may have been but lately there have been some extreme differences between the 'most learned movie reviewers' and us proles that actually buy tickets.
What do you mean becoming? Windows has been used in command & control and weapons applications for almost two decades.. I'd be happy if Microsoft stepped aside and let UNIX/linux become the primary platforms in DoD. At least something that made sense would be in use... well besides systemd.
He doesn't need an excuse - I'd say he justified his actions by showing how unethical the social science publications are. This activity is throwing more light on just how unscientific the social 'sciences' are, and now that he's thoroughly embarrassed the field the Portland State University administration is capitulating to the calls for his head by social 'scientists'.
He knew this was going to be the probable outcome of his actions, and I'm fairly sure while his traditional academic is over there will be future opportunities for him to express himself freely and take part in the field of philosophy without a choke-chain.
There's no AI either. They've built an expert system that can perform one function fairly well.. until they ask it to make art and it tells them to #*&! off, it's going to drink wine and play parcheesi then I don't believe it's an AI..
Yea an AC says it stupid so it must be... not. Personally as I have to work in places that you have to travel fifty klicks to be in the boonies and the only way to get a wireless signal is to get fly fifty klicks further than that towards civilization.
I believe a possible answer is that it cuts down on cost when you can Google translate a document from Mandarin/Cantonese to any other, and not have to re-print it when it come out with 'Instructions unclear, X stuck in toaster'. It is one less link in the production chain that producers believe can be removed without issue to their customer.
And sometimes they're wrong when the user interface is fairly simple but has many nested layers of settings and only a small LCD screen/a handful of LEDs to show current setting and status. But I'm sure they're not worried about one customer.
I did Mr. AC jackass squared and I stand by my original assertion. Asking for any advice pertaining to a HOA on/. is the same a taping twenty pounds of liver to your body and jumping into the ocean off the Barrier Reef. You will have an interesting encounter; your chances of having a positive experience is realllyyyyy against the odds.
So maybe if you think you're all that and a bag of apps don't post anonymously.
Either you're a masochist or you're trolling. This is NOT the place to ask for any advice relating to HOAs unless it's which octane of gasoline to use and how many road flares..
Because literally any form of communication in the 'spaces', no matter how innocuous, could be found to be a violation due to the lack of any definition of the terms used.
What does 'reinforce systemic oppression' mean? Who decided it? Is it posted anywhere? The same for 'neurodiversity'. And I can't seem to find the membership of the FreeBSD Code of Conduct Committee, so is there actually a diverse representation of the FreeBSD community or is it a kangaroo court that is more interested in pushing an agenda than actually making the FreeBSD community stronger?
HR departments like it when they can 'apply the formula' in hiring. Even back in the 90s it was all about checking all of the boxes. I worked on a programming contract that, while I didn't have a college degree (and was the only one with practical experience) all of the others have four year degrees.. in things like International Studies, Business Admin, and two that crashed out of going to medical school. Not a programmer in the lot but the corporation that they worked for (I was a subcontractor) would put them through a programming 'boot camp' that would make them 'software engineers'.
We needed additional hands to work on the interface portion of the app (Java was 1.2 at this point and still somewhat primitive when it came to GUI) so the manager had HR give us something to put in the paper (services like Monster didn't exist yet) and he gave it to me to look over. He didn't understand why I was doubled up laughing over the requirement for five years Java experience - for a language that was only two years old.
Slashdot posted my question about auditing on Linux seventeen years ago in reference to the DoD using Red Hat. We are using all kinds of other OSS back then as well so The Verge, and these senators, is just a few years late. The amendment will not result in any changes in how DoD procures software/services or operates at any level from the foxhole to Earth orbit.
You really shouldn't be concerned about the NSA, or even the Dept. of Commerce. I'm more concerned that the ICANN leadership thinks that anyone outside of their inner circle doesn't matter:
"I wouldn't be surprised if it's closest to a guerrilla war."
Exactly. Sun Tzu did have some aspects of asymmetric warfare in TAOW, but Mr. Herberger is making sweeping generalizations based on an out-moded concept of warfare. TAOW was based in a time where only larger entities (political or economic) had the capacity to project force at a scale larger than just the immediately local, if just for logistical reasons. In the space that electronic warfare will take place (because cyberspace is more then just the internet) we have the equivalent of redneck militias wielding nuclear weapons. One person with the right tools, at the right time, with the right information can bring cities to collapse from the other side of the planet and may never be implicated if they are skilled enough.
Scaling that up to the nation state level you get things like 'cyber-kill-chain'. It actually becomes less efficient to conduct operations at that level due to a number of factors. Electronic warfare will be conducted by something akin to Operation Screaming Fist in Neuromancer.
Gonna destroy your shredder if you do that.. and the hammer/firearm trick still leaves too many pieces that can be reassembled and read.
Thermite/explosives are great but have way to many potential downsides unless you're in the military.
Easiest way for total destruction (I.e. no chance in hell of recovery) is to :
1. Remove the platters from the drives 2. Take a platter and screw it to a board (or more at a time if the board is long enough) 3. Take an angle grinder and grind off the oxide surface (i.e. bare metal)
While slow (figure at least ten minutes per drive on average to kill all of the platters) and kinda messy (I'd wear some kind of breathing mask while doing this) it is 100% certain to make your drives unrecoverable.This is the method I used in the military when I re-classed from the infantry and no longer had access to thermite grenades.
Apparently you live in North Korea and are forced to only work at one job. Without a CS degree I've been a UNIX sysadmin, programmed in four different languages and scripted in three others (three different places), done web development, been an informix DBA, and now I'm doing UNIX security work (to include web servers and databases, and shortly applications).When something caught my interest, or the boss would ask me if I could take on a different task, I'd pick up a couple of books and LEARN SOMETHING NEW. Not stagnate, not throw a pity party, but actually getter done.
I've stayed with security as it incorporates a lot of what I've learned over the years and I find the puzzle-solving aspect of it challenging. But if I thought being a pimp would make me happier I'd be hitting pimpdaddy.com for a big hat and a cane. The one thing that keeps you in the pigeon hole is you.
C'mon people, we won't be taken seriously if we can't even learn the jargon.
Frag the jargon.. they'll take us seriously when we don't buy their SDMI 'enhanced' crap and instead go around/through them.
There is no encryption that cannot be broken
There is no hardware that cannot be hacked
But there is no way to remove or restrain my desire to exercise the rights guaranteed to a U.S. citizen under the U.S. Constitution - and Fair Use does mean the ability for me to make a back-up copy of the material I have lawfully purchased. Too bad for the corps if it is in a format they do not approve of.
Yep, it is a necessity for gov/mil environs, which is why I posted the original request for information.
And due to the work of the folks at Intersect Alliance (and others in the OSS community), I have overcome almost all resistance to using Linux in my agency (the NT admins mostly).
So hopefully I'll be able to load up Mandrake on my work system soon..

so that you can give yourself a pre-frontal lobotomy to bring yourself down to Windows level...
Sure.. by threatening to leave. And then you have to hope they don't call you bluff if you're bluffing or have already found a new gig..
My situation is that if I did give my two weeks notice I'd be sniped in the parking lot walking to my truck..

That apology was two weeks ago. They still haven't apologized for the mess since then.
