I'm curious what car you're comparing it to that it is saving you "tons." The most directly comparable ICE vehicle would be a Versa Note (since they're the same/similar platform), which gets 31/39 mpg, and starts at $15,500. I'm not even disputing that the EV will save you money in the long run, I just don't see how it can save you "tons" versus an economy car. Maybe you've got an HOV sticker and you're also accounting for time?
And anyone can have one rocket mishap but to have 2 in a row for the same rocket type is a little puzzling. The Chinese are normally conservative and very risk adverse when doing anything that makes the country look bad.
Just because it's a national broadcasting company doesn't mean it's state-run. You say "state run" when you're referring to the Chinese news in this case because the government gets editorial power. That's nothing at all like the BBC.

My first all-touch device after my Blackberry was the HTC Desire.
And while it was way better than the iPhone at the time in every aspect, you still have to hand it to Apple: They started an entirely new industry.
You are aware, I trust, that Ukraine and Russia are effectively at war, right?
So why expend your limited resource on forcing a couple of ukrainian grocery shops to re-image their cash register computers?
Why this need for convoluted conspiracy theories when the most parsimonious explanation is that Russia waged a cyberattack on Ukraine?
Because I know from first hand experience government lies all the fucking time.
The only government lying about Russia's stance toward the Ukraine is Russia. Many independent commentators yesterday were suggesting that it appears to be a disruption campaign disguised as ransomware.
I know an HR person who says that the hiring managers are the problem. They are too picky. He said they found a perfect candidate who was out of work for a year - this was in '10 where a LOT of folks were out of work.
The manager didn't want him because "he forgot his skills".
The HR person was incredulous, "Not ten years of experience."
HR works for management. Don't ever forget that. They take their direction from them. So, if HR is the problem, then management is the cause.
Oh, and that guy never found work again. Total waste.
I'm sure there's gonna be folks who are gonna say shit like "well he was no good" or "didn't keep his 'skills' up" or some such thing so that they can pretend that it'll never happen to them. (His company closed his entire department down and sent it to India. All those guys looking for work at the same time....the younger ones got hired first.)
We are all one layoff from career oblivion.
I'm curious. How do you know both the HR person and the guy that never worked again?
So, Windows Defender can detect and report infections, but not Defend against them? So then, it should be called Windows Infection Reporter, instead of Defender.
You know, based on the wording, that is hard to argue. Maybe I'm wrong and they actually are using the built in "telemetry" in Win10 to report on indicators of compromise.
It doesn't really make sense though as the malware doesn't just encrypt your data, it reboots your computer to a lock screen. So either the malware was indeed blocked, or they were able to extract the necessary telemetry in the one hour before the machines restarted.
Welp, I guess that's one good use for Microsoft's spyware *cough* d'ah I mean, telemetry. Now they can see how many of their customers' systems are infected with malware in real time. Sure, if you can't secure the OS, why not then grab a bucket of popcorn and enjoy the fun?
It doesn't take a genius to figure out Windows Defender is how they get information on infections. Or maybe around here it does.
Ah, and let the NSA pay for the damages. Sitting on a vulnerability. Pffh.
I'm sure they'll happily do that when you write new software for them and buy them a new MRI machine that runs on Linux and automatically receives zero-risk security updates.
This is all self inflicted. Next time hire people who actually know about IT and cybersecurity instead of listening to the MBA argue about how much money you can save by outsourcing it "to the cloud".
Or perhaps you know nothing about their IT department or hiring practices, the challenges they face, or what led to this infection?
That means it is based on or related to that malware, that does not mean all the same tools and counter measures will apply. From my experience you're probably fine if you're running a next gen AV product and if you're running traditional AV software, you may or may not have sigs yet.
If you think you can replace you [sic] laptop with this setup: you cannot. Imagine a computer, but everything works worse than you expect. That is the new iPad.
Okay so I was going to get all snarky about how, "duh, it's an iPad, what did you expect?" and then I saw Apple's marketing.
No matter the task, the new iPad Pro is up to it — and then some. It offers far more power than most PC laptops, yet is delightfully simple to use. The redesigned Retina display is as stunning to look at as it is to touch. And it all comes together with iOS, the world’s most advanced mobile operating system. iPad Pro. Everything you want modern computing to be. Now even, well, better.
So kudos to someone previously associated with Engadget, of all places, to take Apple's marketing to task.
The older you are when you have kids, the more you are earning, the more disposable income you (and your parents or in-laws) can spend on quality toys and activities, instead of just trying to keep the heat on and food on the table. Also you're probably more educated, so there's that.
There could well be legal repercussions from this because who you vote for is the most sacred form of privacy in a democracy.
It's still a private ballot. If you told someone who you voted for and they intentionally or unintentionally tell someone else... that's as much your fault as theirs.
And how would anyone need to hack a system with no username and/or password:
"What UpGuard appears to have discovered, sitting on an Amazon cloud storage drive with no password or username required for access by anyone on the internet,"

I don't think anyone needs to hack that to get it.
Read between the lines. He means the data does not appear to have been ACCESSED prior to disclosure. He used the word "hacked" to control the narrative and keep the focus off how incompetent they were. Just like people who "hack" celebrity accounts by guessing easy passwords or security questions.

The first launch succeeded.

funny how you never hear:
the state-run BBC news agency
so very funny

Thanks for this. Suddenly I'm imagining a comedy bit about the pitfalls of pacifism.
My enemy has a knife. I should not have a knife because if I drop it he might have two knives.
I'm not sure that one of these certs is any better than a self-signed cert...
The value is that you don't have to pay some shifty dude $10 for the same level of verification, and it is auto renewing.
Never create a weapon that you wouldn't want to fall into the hands of your worst enemy.
That's nonsensical. What advantage or tool would you want your worst enemy to have?

ITAR. There will be no H1Bs working on these missile, er, I mean rocket, engines.

Yes, exclusively

It won't.

Yes but what about "Everything you want modern computing to be."
I want modern computing to be more than a consumption device with a flimsy, optional keyboard and a fancy pen.
This ransomware has actually previously been defeated (April 2016), and a key generator tool was released:

Was it a win for science or a win for engineering?
Both if you launch science missions.
It was an easy target. Let's see her try that with a real company with real money, not some damn unicorn that barely exists at all.
Uber's profitability is not yet real and may never be. Their impact, however, is seismic.
