Ethereum and Monero are the reason GPUs are being snatched up by miners. The value of those coins crashed horribly earlier in the month... to the point where it was barely profitable to mine. But prices have rebounded recently, so you can expect GPUs to start selling out again soon.
When the blockchain "difficulty factor" for ETH and XMR solidly surpasses their record highs, then you will know these ASICs are really rolling out. From there it won't be long until these $700 cards can be found on Ebay for chump change.
My understanding is that it doesn't upload ANYTHING unless you say the keyword "Alexa" first. Then it just uploads what it needs to understand the commands. You could probably verify this with any network monitoring tool...
So it is not a "spying" device; it's a "respond to the commands you give it" device.
People were afraid of barcodes when they first came out. You're the latest wave of that mindset.
All this tells us is that Verio/NTT.net is a crappy hosting provider, not that Giuliani has done anything wrong.
No, it tells us Guiliani failed to perform due diligence before selecting a hosting provider. This negligence or incompetence puts his customers directly at risk.
TrueCrypt worked flawlessly on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Anything which supports only one of the three major platforms is no successor of TrueCrypt.

You can't make something expensive "free," but you can force people to pay for something they wouldn't voluntarily pay for via taxes.
By taxing goods up front proportionally to their reclamation costs (and the costs of their packaging) we could fund "free" recycling and even encourage manufacturers to adopt more environmentally-friendly designs.
It's believable that someone could get a B+ in an entry level CS class even without a good understanding of arithmetic. Entry level CS is more about understanding flow control and variables than it is about mathematics.
If she got a B+ in Calculus, that would be concerning. And since all university-level CS programs require Calculus, the student in your story likely never graduated... unless this was a for-profit college, perhaps.
Incorrect. In buyouts, offers are often made at significant premiums to the market value. In other words, companies are often worth much more than share prices indicate.
Wall Street isn't buying these things. Big companies (Facebook, Google) are buying them. And they are "worth" whatever these companies are willing to pay for them, regardless of their current profit levels.
It's like they're trying to shoot themselves in the foot. They are having trouble attracting and retaining talent? So they sue their former employees? Who would want to work for a company that does that? Do they think they can keep their current employees from leaving using fear? Disgusting.
This is not correct. Some platforms are secure by default. Others are not. For.NET languages, as an example, you have to try hard to get SSL wrong. The Android dev kit, however, makes it easy to fuck this up.
That is a myth. Technological advancement is accelerating. Entire new branches of technology are being born. Comparing a decade to a century (with hindsight) is hindering your vision.
You may have been in IT for 20 years, but you haven't worked at a level that gives you much exposure to security, clearly.
"Data breach from lack of encryption" is a common problem. From a legal standpoint, data on an unencrypted laptop must be assumed leaked if the laptop is stolen or lost. So when HR loses a laptop and has to buy the whole company credit monitoring - that's an expense saved by FDE. The problem is much worse if you have customer data or data worth stealing.
Is one lock enough? Fuck no. The principle of defense in depth exists for a reason. Because in the computer world locks are constantly being picked and break for no reason. You need multiple overlapping (not identical) security measures or you are already owned.
Seattle? The home of Amazon? Why on earth don't they just move their datacenter to Amazon Web Services? They could probably do it for less than the $2.1 million they're spending on this single part!
Every tech company is losing staff, because none are willing to hire junior-level workers and train them. So companies keep competing over the same fixed number of people. And the quickest way to get a raise is to jump ship. So there you have it.
It's not just tech, either. There are lots of college-educated bartenders these days, because every "entry level" position requires 3 years of experience. It's absurd.
Creating numbers and telling people they have value is not being a producer of value.
Mining metal and telling people it has value is no different. And in both cases, "telling" people has nothing to do with it. It's an open market with prices set voluntarily by the participants.
Now hold on - they obviously don't have profit as their primary motive. That doesn't mean they are throwing money away. It's an extremely high risk business, but it is still a business and could still return a profit in the very long term.

Nothing in your post is true. The default bucket policy is private and the default security group allows no public access.

I wouldn't be surprised if PHP already works this way.

If you've worked in IT for a while you should be able to put together a $150k check...

Right, and the hip cats who built apps with those two years ago have moved on, so there are tons of jobs as maintenance programmers opening up.
It's Sunday afternoon. You have something more newsworthy? Submit it your damn self.
How much bitcoin do you have at this point?
From the perspective of those in power, the impact on the economy is the largest factor to consider.
It's like they're trying to shoot themselves in the foot. They are having trouble attracting and retaining talent? So they sue their former employees? Who would want to work for a company that does that? Do they think they can keep their current employees from leaving using fear? Disgusting.
Furthermore, having an affair can cause you to lose your security clearance because it puts you at risk of blackmail.
Having security clearance is mandatory for the director of the CIA, so his resignation is pretty much required.

Bitcoins are secure and stuff. Nobody can steal your bitcoins unless they get your private key.
