I don't think Web developers necessarily learned the lesson very well. Javascript-heavy (client-side JS) web apps with insecure RESTful backend also suffer from the same issues. I'm seeing a lot of those recently.
Hasn't Panera Bread just recently suffer from a similar issue?
I've literally provided a video from the press conference by the Pentagon's spokesperson, Dana White, with this exact statement quoted by those news sources. How on Earth is this news still possibly fake?
Now if you're questioning the truthfulness of the Pentagon's statement, that's fine. But then that's a completely different problem, not a fake news issue. The news outlets are merely quoting the Pentagon in this case.
I'm all for skepticism and critical thinking. That's great. But let's just not throw "fake news" right and left before at least some research.
This is a perfect example why a median should be used vs the average. Few extreme outliers significantly skew the average when most people make really small amount of money.
From the article:
* About 12% of hackers on HackerOne make $20,000 or more annually from bug bounties.
* Over 3% o bug hunters are making more than $100,000 per year.
* 1.1% are making over $350,000 annually.
Meltdown only impacts Intel processors. Meltdown can be thought to be a special case of Spectre that exploits an Intel-specific flaw that makes it simpler to execute the exploit.
Spectre, which is more of a generalized class of attacks, but more difficult to implement, impacts Intel, AMD, and ARM as per the original spectre paper. https://spectreattack.com/spec..., from which I quote:
Hardware. We have empirically verified the vulnerability of several Intel processors to Spectre attacks, including Ivy Bridge, Haswell and Skylake based processors. We have also verified the attack’s applicability to AMD Ryzen CPUs. Finally, we have also successfully
mounted Spectre attacks on several Samsung and Qualcomm processors (which use an ARM architecture) found in popular mobile phones.
and
Unlike Meltdown, the Spectre attack works on non-Intel processors, including AMD and ARM processors. Furthermore, the KAISER patch [19], which has been widely applied as a mitigation to the Meltdown attack, does not protect against Spectre.

This article is another example of this: it's a forum for people to wail about how awful Trump will be, because they can see the future with perfect clarity.
This article did NOT mention anything about Trump. This is at least the third time I've see this comment copy-pasted on/., and the claims have been refuted by other commentators. At this point, you don't have anything new and this is just pure trolling. Go back to r/T_D or 4chan or wherever troll-land you came from.

I wonder to what extent this is true, in context of this story. Given the fact that this money seems to be coming primarily from Saudi Arabia and, potentially, other unknown sources.
The money would come from a $100 billion investment fund that SoftBank Chief Executive Masayoshi Son is setting up with Saudi Arabia's sovereign-wealth fund and other potential partners, according to the Wall Street Journal.
If the device is already hacked, you're absolutely right that NAT won't add any security. However, GP's point was that NAT could make it a little more difficult to get the device hacked in the first place.
This article is relevant to Linux and the FOSS/FLOSS community.
Whether you love or hate MS, and whether or not you're exclusively interested in FOSS and Linux, Windows is the still biggest competitor to Linux in desktop and enterprise markets. Your position regarding Linux or Windows shouldn't stop you from looking at other competing software products.
Bashing Windows maybe fun and all and we all enjoy that every once int while, but constantly bashing for the purpose of bashing is simply unproductive. What I'm saying is that we should probably learn from others' successes or failures. Isolating ourselves from the rest of the technology world doesn't help advancing the FOSS technology and community.
Yes, but they'll probably just switch to click-bate images rather than click-bate headlines.. It is significantly more difficult to recognize click-bait images with computer algorithms...
6800 / 1.5 is 4533..625 inch pipe. = 2833.33333333 inches expanded to ratio.
Actually a 4533 ratio of hose cross-section area is equivalent to sqrt(4533) = 67.3 of diameter ratio. Therefore the 6.8Gbps hose would be 67.3 * 0.625 =~ 42 inches wide. Not very far from GP's estimate.
I agree with the article on that one. A word that is often used to dehumanize people.
If a project is late, we can just "throw in more resources"!
One of my co-workers was once told by the business product owner to get her application finished in unreasonable time. When he expressed his concerns, she basically told him that she would replace him any time with a bunch of "developers from the street" who would get the job done faster than him.

I was born and raised in Syria, and lived there most of my life. Like parent, I'm tired of hearing misinformtion about Syria.
Assad couldn't be any farther from being called Islamist. Not sure where GP got his information from. Assad regime is a secular repressive dictatorship.
To portray the war in Syria as mostly religion motivated is a big distortion of the complex multidimensional situation. Many people who stood against the Assad regime are secular. Many of them ended up being in prison or even killed by that regime. I myself am an atheist and I'm against that regime. I do have a lot of muslim, christian, and athiest friends there who are equally opposed to that regime, and are calling for a secular democracy.
Did the Islamist groups manage to get all the attention in the media? I think so. However, talking about the islamists as if there were all that exists there is a big distortion that only empowers the Assad and ISIL, while marginalizing the role of the moderate and secular groups that are calling for a secular democracy.
The nature of God is such that it cannot be proven. Otherwise, we lose the choice to believe.
Belief is not a choice.
For example, you don't have the choice to believe that you exist. You either believe that, or don't.
If I wake up one day and say today I'm choosing to believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster, I'd be just pretending to believe in Him. Of course if I actually truly believed in His Noodly Appendage, then I wouldn't have the choice to simply un-blieve in Him anytime I like. Otherwise I would just be pretending.

Applebee's logo is an apple, too. Their name contains an "apple". And they sell food just like AppleADay. Under the same logic, they have to threaten Applebee's too?!
Now explain to my grandmother, who just got her first email last week, how and why she needs to do that.
On the other hand, the oppressive governments over there will LOVE that. It's probably even better than insecure FB or Twitter since everything ultimately goes to the people's emails.
As someone from one the mentioned countries, I'd like to ask Microsoft, do you realize now you might be very well putting many people at a greater risk of being arrested or killed. People are being KILLED for expressing some of their opinions in some of these places these days.
OK, correcting myself in one point. My claim that the url popup was transparent turned out to so because of KDE Oxigen them I'm using with FF. Reverting to the default FF4b12 theme, the URL popup does hide the contents behind it.
However, the other scenario I raised about fake links is still very plausible IMHO.
A malicious page can have a fake link - text that looks like a link, shows the URL on the bottom of the page using JS when mouse is over the fake link. FF won't hide that with its own popup since it's not a real link.
I can also give more complex scenarios based on the fact that FF shows the URL transparently. (Think about floating
with transparent or no background color). In other words it doesn't hide the page contents in the back.

“We were talking about it, and then I said I’d like to celebrate his presidential job” because Trump will advocate deregulation, Son told reporters according to Bloomberg News.
There was a lot of speculation about that since the day after the election.
Unemployment numbers are a bit worse off today than they were when Obama took office, regardless of which measure you look at.
http://www.cnbc.com/2016/12/02...
What are you talking about?
Using your own reference, let's look at the numbers. Obama inauguration was on January 20, 2009. Here are the unemployment rates then and now:
Jan 09: (U1..U6) = 3.1%, 4.8%, 7.8%, 8.3%, 9.1%, 14.2%
Nov 16: (U1..U6) = 1.8%, 2.2%, 4.6%, 5.0%, 5.8%, 9.3%
So every one of the unemployment measures shows a significant decline since the day Obama took office.
