I thought the most interesting part of the article was the observation that MMUs on all modern processors are geared to the unix model of memory protection and virtualized memory and they let go of the Multics model, which was about 99.9% of the OS course when I was in college back in the stone age.
If it takes an American 3 months to train, why do the big corporations import hundreds of thousands of H-1Bs?
There are more of them than there are Americans. Amongst the billions who are no Americans, there are those that are talented and capable but don't necessarily have job opportunities where they live. The US West Coast is the center of gravity for the technology industry. So that's where people go. If it was race cars, you would move to the South East UK. If it was cheese making maybe Holland is the place. If killing people is your talent, the East cost US has lots of military suppliers.
Just because tech is here and H1-b is the lowest cost and complexity visa to get here, it doesn't mean others in other skill areas aren't going elsewhere.
If a free market for goods is economically good, why isn't a free market in human skill?
>1. Tor is not as secure as everybody says it is (because _____ insert your favourite conspiracy theory/security failure here).
It is. We know it is from the Ross Ulbricht case. They posed as a vendors and customers and sent malware to the browsers at the other end. Tor might be fine as an intermediate, but the endpoints are leaky as hell if you don't act with great caution.
>2. NSA/GCHQ, etc... justification for snooping on everyone (terrorists! drugs! guns!) is just complete and utter bull****. Hard detective work pays every time, and is probably more cost-effective than the massive surveillance and privacy violations we have right now.
We know it is. Parallel construction is well documented.
You do know that most employers who test don't actually want to test don't you?
If you're a supplier to the federal government in some well defined capacities, it's a requirement that you test your employees. No test, no government business.
Homebuilders are more interested in doing shady property deals with local government and sourcing the cheapest crappiest lumber. I don't think structuring internet services it really a big part of their mind space.
I've seen home builders touting Comcast as a feature.
The NFC was already in the door and the card was NFC. All they've done is make an app that uses NFC through the same interface.
Yes, it's a hackers paradise, but it already was one. The phone doesn't make much difference to the hackers-paradiseness of it. A decent hack would probably already be using a phone to imitate a card since it has the NFC interface and a CPU.
By requiring someone to walk in and give us their email to get our monthly mailing prevents a hacker undermining an online sign up and adding thousands of email addresses.
The store is my wife's yarn store. My job is a security architect for a chip company, so our online presence is probably more secure than most yarn stores who's owners have no experience in computer security.
I send bulk email for an opt-in list with mailman (opt in as in you have to walk in the store and physically write your email on our sign up sheet). We have Google host the email for the business and use self hosted for the important stuff.
To get SPF and DKIM working for the business I determined that I could not do this through google. The bounces get redirected to the wrong place and the sender auth fails. I needed bounces to come to me, not Google, so mailman could do the bounce processing. So I had to set up a separate self hosted mail machine with a separate domain, so that the sending domain could match the sender and the bounces could come back to the same place and get bounce processed.
Email sucks and SPF, SKIM and probably DMARC suck.
I suspect they don't mean 'plasma'. They are using that as a label to describe some software. But the summary fails to explain what the hell 'plasma' is or why I might care.

This being /. I was rather expecting people to go all nerdgasm over the Econet -> X25 bit rather than the iPod snark.
A whole woman consumes 100 watts.
D'oh! Human, not woman.
I got myself an nvidia woman. She takes 400 watts.
You're allowed to put out a few failures if it takes you to success.
Apple 3? -> LISA? -> Macintosh!
Apple Newton? -> Ipod(the old crappy ones)? -> iPod! -> iPhone!
Econet? -> X25? -> Packet Ring? -> The internet!
Don't confuse people with the facts. It messes up the integrity of the story.

>Well in Oregon all beaches are publicly owned, and as such there's no 'shoreline' development. Your move California.
Have you been to Seaside Oregon lately? It's pretty built up.
All the land between low tide and high tide is public land. But right behind that is open season.
>you can smoke, but you have to pay more for your health insurance. I think it's $15 a month extra
They should also give you a discount on your pension contributions.

They may be able to handle brain to brain communication, but they couldn't manage a web server to web browser connection. I got a database error.
1.8, it'll be union built in Chicago.

>Some backwater with a 2.7% rise in values is definitely not worth the time to even research.
If that backwater had gigabit fiber and a $50K houses, I could buy 4 for cash and live there off the rental income from the other 3.
I couldn't live there without the interwebs though.
I don't know about you, but I feel much better when I shift work onto someone else.

I was at a Starwood hotel two weeks ago and I was not offered such an opportunity.
I feel robbed.
Thank you for teaching me how mailing lists work. Now I'm much cleverer that I used to be.
I have .com (and I pay the SSL tax for a cert)
I had to add mail.com to handle the bulk mail sending.
Of course the ISP fee is three times the price for a small static IP range and not blocking outgoing SMTP port

Fair enough. It's not SPF. It's Google rewriting the wrapper and DKIM.
Free? We pay them for the service.

Switching the time backwards and forwards sucks. Just get rid of it.
