I didn’t believe they would try to extradite him, as I wasn’t aware of any crime he’d committed. The indictment makes it clear that he’s being charged for something which is a crime, but I’ll admit that I was wrong. I’ll be a bit surprised if it’s enough to get him actually extradited.
I’m still laughing that he got his sorry ass thrown out, though. Wrong or not, he’s still a self-aggrandizing biotch.
I had a 2011 Audi S5 that had a fantastic radar-based cruise control, never got confused. At all.
Traded it in last year for a Model X, and the autopilot is a godsend. Cruise control is even better than Audi’s, and the “lane keep” function (a misnomer, but that buckets it with other manufacturers’ products - autosteer) is amazing. You really can’t know how great it is until you’ve done a road trip or two with it.
Sadly some bank employees often do not even attempt to analyse anything. They spend the smallest amount of time/effort to finish the task, for example forward some data without validating it.
That would make them exactly like some percent of employees in literally every other job you could possibly mention. I have yet to see a company without some percent of employees that fit exactly your description.
And, as zero can be a percent, that will always be true...
They just have the MAC address to identify her machine? No forensics on the laptop itself? That is crazy. MAC address changes are often as simple as running a single command as root. Finding the MAC address of a particular machine is a bit harder, not is that hard either if you are on-site.
Everyone here knows how to spoof a layer 2 address. However, why would the school have forensic access to her PC? The most likely case is that it’s privately owned, and thus they have no control over it.
They might, however, have been able to identify the specific port used by the MAC address and might know that it links to her dorm room (I didn’t read the article, only the summary). That sort of thing reduces the suspect pool significantly - toss in a few other clues and they might have a preponderance of evidence. We simply don’t know, as they haven’t (and won’t outside a court of law) released their version of events.
There are companies who trust every bit of their digital data to Amazon or Google or other companies. They figure that the cost savings is a benefit, and they don't care about (or don't realize) the security implications.
I think it’s an overly-broad brush to paint those companies with to say they don’t care or realize the implications.
Remember that security, like all of business, is a risk. The risk must be balanced against the benefits, and in some cases security will be (perceived) as being less valuable than the benefits. It’s a fair analysis... as long as they’ve done the analysis.
But the reality is that the rest of the world bent over for the US with extraterritorial laws like FATCA, so I’m uncertain how much resistance they’ll really put up here. Perhaps, since it’s their own citizens this time...
I’ve done the same for decades (since back well before gmail and it’s fantastic spam filtering capabilities). I default *@ my domain to me, and add blocks when I get spammed.
Surprisingly, it’s quite rare that I get third party email. Usually what I get is directly from the company I gave the address to, and while they signed me up for their newsletter without permission, they still honor the unsubscribe request. Still jackasses, but not so bad that I need to stop using them altogether.
Many employment contracts forbid people from taking confidential information outside the employer, and many specify septic if financial restitution (usually related to salary or damages) should they do so. I myself have seen police actions against people caught by a corporate DLP system.
Julian offered to turn himself over in exchange for the release of Manning, They released him but Obama nullified Julians offer. The rape allegations turned out to be nothing.
While I don’t support the idea of charging Asshole-Assange with a crime in the US, the two statements above are misleading.
Firstly, if you’re accused of a crime, you don’t get to decide under what conditions you’ll turn yourself in. It’s an arrest, not a negotiation.
Secondly, the rape allegations did not “turn out to be nothing.” The prosecutor realized that they were going to be unable to prosecute within sweden’s legal time limit and therefore made the choice to stop wasting state resources that could be better spent elsewhere. Who knows what might have come of it had he been available for arrest? While the result is similar to “turned out to be nothing” the reason is essential - and the same as the reason I don’t support extraditing that worthless, self-absorbed fuck to the US. The rule of law matters.
The linked article in the OP says 3 phones, not two, and his phones are unsecured, whereas obama’s Had all kinds of controls applied (e.g. removing the camera and microphone, etc.).
I emailed Tim Cook about this one when the change was first made. It was an astoundingly poor design decision to differentiate the iPhone and iPad experiences that way.
And no, emailing him obviously had no effect, but I tried it nonetheless.
I’m pretty sure it’s already illegal to talk on your phone while bicycling in Switzerland. Laws that apply to motorists apply to bicyclists, and you can lose your drivers license for actions on a bicycle, so I would expect that phone use - illegal in a car - is also illegal on a bike.
One wonders, if you discovered this pretty early in your relationship, and she’s got the latest iPhone, if you’re actually aware that a new iPhone was announced last week.
Iâ(TM)m sure there are some kind of studies out there that have been done on the utility of LinkedIn. Maybe something that looks at who gets the most value out of it, whether certain roles are more sought-after via the platform, that sort of thing. Instead, we have a fluff piece, an attention-whoring bit of tripe that does not serve the geek intellect of Slashdot readers. I want 1997 back, please.
That said, I get use out of the platform. I have the job title of CISO, and recently have been contacted through the platform by a headhunter in a process that wound up with me being offered a much more significant CISO role (an order of magnitude more reports, for one, and a much broader remit). And it all started just because I indicated my willingness (not even eagerness) to discuss new opportunities via an automated switch on LinkedIn.
Of course, I have a lot of the kinds of trash invites too. I ignore (and indicate that I donâ(TM)t know) anyone who cold-contacts me, except in the case of a recruiter who has specific information about a specific role and clearly explains why Iâ(TM)m being contacted as part of the initial invite. That seems to work well for me, so I guess a lot of the utility of the platform derives from how you use it.
If I get to work and can't get in, or get somebody to let me in, I'm assuming it's a holiday and I'm going back home. If they don't want me to work that day, that's their decision, not mine.
And in my shop, you might be fired for it. It’s one thing to forget your card and call your supervisor, go through the appropriate process and get in with a delay; it’s another to “assume it’s a holiday” and go home.
I saw this on display in the Zurich main station a few weeks ago. It’s tiny - but honestly, I didn’t realize that it was something special, because we have so many odd, tiny cars on the streets here. I’ve seen a variety of single-seater vehicles, most of which I presume are electric, cruising around the streets.
It’s not like they’re a majority or anything, or even all that popular, but they’re definitely around. Still, looking at the spec sheet, this seems like it’d be a significant step up for that market, and I could very much see it being useful for people who need to commute short distances (though I personally take the train - parking my Model X or even the S5 in the heart of the city would be expensive and painful).

Posting to undo erroneous modification - I attempted to mod another post flame bait and hit this one instead, sorry.
And that’s the GP’s entire point - your perception is one he disagrees with.

Oh, come on. He was clearly not serious about selling his dna to white supremacists. If you think otherwise... Yikes.
Err, “specific”, not “septic if”

The contents of this story are hardly news.
Cost and value are dependent on your point of view. Cost went down for us; value went down for Microsoft.

Quit spouting drivel.
Fantastic. You did note that the service is free, right?
My Swiss insurer gives me a discount for data collected from my Apple Watch. It’s not unheard of over here.
You Americans and your sweeping generalizations!

Not only are botnets not true AI, they’re not any kind of AI whatsoever. Unrelated topic.
