This. I've said this example before as well but I used to contract out to various industries for functional safety. One of the staples for safety systems is Triconex and I've installed such projects around the world. In a typical refinery or chemical plant a project takes 6 to 12 months depending on its size and scope. I remember installing a V9 Triconex system in a chemical plant. A year later the V10 was released, and we picked up a nuclear project.
It was a golden turd, golden due to the amount of billable hours it generated, and turd because it's demotivating as heck to work on a project where every piece of paper needs to go through a multi-month review process. Anyway we started the project on V9 systems because nuclear doesn't use new things. It took 5 fucking years to finish that project during which we got a lifecycle notification about V9 systems. Anyway even before we finished this damn nuclear project I took on a project in the chemical industry to rip out the nearly obsolete V9 system and replace it with a V10 which itself was already mature at that point.
5 years, and nuclear safety is simple as heck too. Not only was it the longest project I ever worked on, but one of the smallest to boot.
The only thing there that we know is that people will swear to some mythical skydaddy that they don't. Some will lie here too, and 25% do it without even believing in said skydaddy so their lies don't even have repercussions when caught.
And again, lying about one topic does not mean you've been lying about others.
So what you're saying is that people have the ability to run their mouths for 16 hours a day without having something "you know, like actual work" to do.
I certainly wouldn't tweet about anything work related unless I was explicitly given permission to.
Fantastic if you work for Microsoft we just need to convince the other 123999 to think just like you. Should be easy. Historically large groups of people act and think in unison and are also perfect at following instructions right?
*The 65000 people number I used originally was wrong.
Just because something has multiple meanings doesn't make it meaningless, technically it makes it quite the opposite.
Here's a simple litmus test for if a word should be "retired":
1. Use word in context. Does someone know what you're talking about? > Don't retire word.
This language hack brought to you by someone who's not at war with the ability to communicate with others. Don't like the word hack? You have 3 options: 1. Find an english community that doesn't use it. 2. Pick a language that doesn't use it. 3. Sit around miserable and hope that one day it will change.
Seriously, it is long past time to make the code so as to lower the trolls. Make it so that unless we are moderating, that we can skip ACs below a certain point. Hey, if a moderator brings them up to say 2 or 3, I will want to see them. OTHERWISE, why bother. I get sick of reading so many lies and crap from the trolls.
Don't know what you're talking about, I see no trolls here. The sliders set at their default level pretty much hide ACs as it is.
So when the guy who calls the police claims to have killed one hostage already and is talking about burning down the building before committing suicide, the default response should be "I don't believe you"? This does not strike me as a good idea.
Infinitely better than running in guns blazing and literally getting people killed. But like in every stupid discussion on slashdot there's a happy medium that exists between doing nothing and fucking showing the site with bullets.
Except if they stopped using swat teams to respond and someone really was being held at gunpoint, as a hostage in their own home? You'd likely create a scenario where the officer who goes in to verify it's not just another prank call winds up getting everyone involved killed.
Oh? Is America special in this regard? I mean it doesn't routinely happen anywhere else in the world. Maybe if your police officers get people killed because someone has a gun you should train your police officers better and not just approach every situation with military force.... You know the kind of force which clearly IS getting people killed.
Past convictions of other suspects arrested by those officers and convictions obtained by the prosecutor should be voided if they depended on testimony by the officers or the accuracy of statements made to the court by the prosecutor.
Why? Can you prove that people never change, don't develop, and that present behaviour is representative of all past and future behaviour? I'm sure psychologists around the world will prove otherwise.
Don't get me wrong, if he was a lying scum as alleged here then he ought to be punished for it, but that doesn't automatically cast doubt on all other convictions, if it did we wouldn't ever have a witness take a stand. Everyone lies.
If a carpenter built using the carpentry equivalent of twitter being used for press releases, the best carpenter in the world would complain. He would also then walk away and never use those tools again.
In a world with infinite time and infinite resources perhaps. In the real world integrity or lack thereof of those involved with paper is a necessary signal
You've got that horribly backwards. You need some ideal world with infinite timeline and infinite resources if you want to build up a reputation based system for all scientists out there in order for you in the very very very distant future to be able to judge the quality of their work by the name on it.
I suggest you get reading, you've got a lot of people's material to catch up on.
Now without looking it up, who wrote the paper, and how have you rated the quality of all their work thus far? I bet you don't know.
Because of many issues like that, my impression is that Microsoft is sloppily managed.
LOL. If some random due tweeting garbage is your definition of a company being sloppily managed, then I invite you to look at a list of 500 other companies that are just as poor: http://fortune.com/fortune500/
This is going to sound impolite but it's because their government has absolutely no experience governing and has no idea what they're doing. They can't stop crime, inflation, grow food, or do basically anything. It's a complete free for all over there.
What's that say about internet in the USA also being horribly expensive?
The thing is, if the companies running those servers knew a tiny bit about server redundancy they'd have backup servers in place to take over as soon as the primary servers were found to be faulty.
Yep, we all know redundancy never fails. It is fool proof!
I am not sure how one can claim to care about security without a secure sandbox.
How are you posting this right now? Your browser is sandboxed but it has port 443 open? The idea behind any sandbox is to only open access to what you need for the core functionality and isolate everything else.
Now you've just convinced someone to download an image called docker123321, do you think it would be difficult to convince them to run the image using a command that allows access to parts of the file system / open ports?
Docker is well sandboxed, but gives the user enough rope with which to hang themselves.
The -v flag is very flexible. It can bindmount or name a volume with just a slight adjustment in syntax. If the first argument begins with a / or ~/ you're creating a bindmount. Remove that, and you're naming the volume. -v/path:/path/in/container mounts the host directory,/path at the/path/in/container
I have always been too picky to trust peoples images, if theres something I want to use I will build it myself and store it on my private docker repo.
There's a capability question with all of those approaches. I only started playing with docker for the first time 2 months ago, and boy was it complicated. There's a lot to take in when working with it. Personally I had enough problems figuring out how persistent storage worked and the idea of passing settings to the docker container. I would happily say building your own docker image is beyond a large portion of even linux users.
I've started replacing that term in my mind with "some random dude claims".
If you used to judge the content of the study by who wrote it, you were never interested in "science" anyway. Science was always done by some random dude. That doesn't make it any more or less right.

Not everyone lies under oath.

And technically breaking into a network with malicious intent was called cracking, not hacking.

The family members don't generally think of each other as security threats. :-)
One thing I've learnt from having a sister and a mother, family are the WORST security threats :-)
All the best with the rest of the proceedings.

You work 24h a day?

Trucks need to drive on normal roads to get to the highways
No, some trucks need to, and re-read my post because you seem to have missed its point.
and they need to deliver to stores which are often in urban areas
No, the kind of trucks we are talking about are not allowed to drive in urban areas.

That is why most universities have personal interviews
This is why "viable" in the USA education system has more to do with kissing arse and knowing rich folk than it does academic excellence.
