So I could replace the screen on my laptop with this tablet and get a better resolution and the screen could run a native X server with a little prodding?
Where I am in Oregon, they sold the Fios business to Frontier years ago, long before net neutrality was mentioned. This is not a new thing.
I don't have a problem with Frontier internet. The Verizon Fios customers should consider themselves lucky that Verizon is dropping them and passing them on to Frontier.
I occasionally take a backup disk to work, which is a very Earthquake and fire resistant building. I also keep some of the most important information (tax, insurance details etc) encrypted on a cloud drive.
I'll agree on points 1 and 3. However, I would not consider code to be "clean" until it is readily understandable by any average programmer with a basic level of domain knowledge.
If I was asked to 'fix' or 'clean up' a codebase, I'd refuse.
1) 'fixed' or 'cleaned up' is not well defined. 2) One you've changed it to your definition of 'fixed' it's going to be jibberish to the next guy. 3) You don't fix code, you own code. Your management should be asking you to own the code so you can nurture is and improve it. Fixing things is one aspect of improving code.
Being able to take someone's money by taking plaintext credentials like social security numbers and the numbers written on the front of a card is exactly the fault of the banks.
A reasonable maximum need for entropy is 256 bits. So it might be ok to limit the password field to 256 characters which any password manager would be able to create password for with at least 256 bits.
>We see in case after case how all it takes is single insider at a company—in this instance, allegedly, a receptionist in a dentists' office—to set an identity theft ring in motion, which then tries to monetize the stolen information by purchasing Apple goods for resale or personal use
Those people can do that because of the horribly insecure payment methods the banks impose on everyone. If crime requires motive and opportunity, then it's the banks who are providing the opportunity.
If you're hashing the passwords the length of the password is arbitrary. There is no need to restrict length, except maybe for a minimum size.
What else you do with the passwords (salting, encryption, zero knowledge protocols, multi factor auth, usability factors etc.) is just a measure of the competence of your organization.
If he did it, he's a hero. He should be celebrated as the next Jeff Bezos for innovating a new way to do commerce online. Making the black market a safter place is a good thing, prohibition is what's wrong.
\ Now you will just have to hire hit men on amazon prime. Dude, he tried to get 5 people killed. He's not a hero just because you think he stuck it to the man and sold you your drugs on line.
And how does this prevent a bomber getting a burner phone, leaving a fake name and the burner phone contact number and verifying that they're the fake identity when called?
Any security procedure needs to be not trivially worked around by the persons the security measure is trying to prevent doing their evil deeds. If you can't pass that test, don't bother and accept that it probably won't happen and a bit of risk is the cost of a free society.
Companies exist to produce profits, not to provide employment. If an employee is not providing net value, then it is better for the company, and the overall economy, for that employee to go somewhere else. In the long run, it is better for the employee as well.
You do know that layoffs lead to your most experienced productive staff leaving, because it's easy for them to get employment elsewhere right? So while a big corp thinks layoffs are a way of losing the chaff, it's more effective at losing the wheat. Slowly hiring if you want to grow and slowly losing staff through attrition if you want to get smaller is the right way. If your business sucks, get your staff to start new ones internally. If they're competent, they'll have plenty of ideas.
What we do know, from reasonably interpreted data, that you can actually use is this..
1) HDL/Trig ratio is the strongest indicator for heart disease. Make the trigs small and the HDL high, but it's all in the trigs because it varies a lot more.
2) LDL particle size needs to be large, not small to prevent LDL oxidation leading to artery wall plaque build up.
So eat a diet that does that. See my sig for instructions.
I eat a little chicken. But I use a bucket load of chicken stock. You only get a little meat on a chicken, but boiling the bones will get you 2 weeks worth of stock. No sign of gout, unlike a vegetarian I know who suffers from it.
If you want a 'correct' accounting of the interaction between liver, pancreas, fat cells, muscle cells and brain, it'll take longer than a slashdot post. My understanding is fine in the sense that I'm up on the latest research, but the whole process is certainly not completely understood.
Nevertheless, in a low insulin, low dietary carb/glucose situation, the liver controls blood sugar, and with a high carb/glucose diet and high insulin, the pancreas controls blood sugar. This is a simplification, but it is true.

They don't mess with Netflix either.

Hard disks get bigger.
Store your data on a reliable raid or mirrored array.
Feed it every 1-2 years with fresh, bigger hard disks.
You will never run out of space if you are a normal household.
So do they need all the stars to quit fusing and fissioning as well?

That's a lofty goal, but good to aim for.
You must be joking (I half suspect you are), that's 1000 lines of code per day. The mythical man month figure is 10 lines.
Really the line rate should be negative. If it's a mess, a cleaned up codebase will be smaller.
Who about "rm"?
No. He should re-implement it in Haskell. Then no one will be able to recover it.

It's the disproportionate response that the problem.
Asking people to label their things with "This is not a bomb" is the equivalent of the evil bit. Completely pointless.
They didn't need to do this to stay profitable.

Well that could be one reason melatonin didn't work for me.
What works for jetlag is stopping in iceland for a week before heading on to Europe.
Or go for the negative case and consider whether those studies are sound.

Well this.

This one directly contradicts your claim that all evidence points to saturated fat being a risk facor:

It has an amusing review here: http://high-fat-nutrition.blog...
Lowering your LDL doesn't help either.

Again with an amusing review by Peter:

I can go on like this for hours. There is an ocean of evidence that saturated fat promotes health. You just have to look for it.

It didn't help me at all with jetlag. YMMV.
