In the end, especially in light of the "no proof of purchase required", everyone will probably get $1.43 per drive, or less. Meanwhile, those driving the class action suit will pull in $25M, or more.
The xBox Elite controller costs approximately the same price as one of these adapters and a cheap keyboard and mouse, and offers an advantage to the player using it. To elaborate, it lets you activate some of the face buttons using paddles, so you don't have to take your thumbs off the sticks.
Find something routine or complicated that you do and automate it. Maybe your job involves TPS reports. Well, automate adding the coversheet. Maybe you like gaming. Look into modding.
Or you could go to school where you have deadlines and lab classes. Whatever the case, avoid trying to learn a bunch of theory in a vacuum.
Read the "blame Obama" defense carefully. What Trump's supporters are really doing is admitting the EO was a disaster in execution, and now want to try to find a way to blame Obama for Trump's and Bannon's utter incompetence.
No, they don't really care about whether the executive order works or not. Of course it's pointless. For the matter, neither does the President--it's about kinda sorta checking off campaign promises nobody said he could follow through on.
The reason they bring up Obama is to point out the hypocrisy of those trying to say the current President is in any way acting illegally, when he specifically exercising the authority that the previous administration secured.
Daleks run on wheels, but they have a weakness, stairs. (Well except until they learned to levitate)
Wheels need a flat surface whereas walking legs do not.
This could likely roll down a staircase, or up one, for that matter. Or walk up or down. It has all the freedom of movement required, it's just a matter of processing.
Apple owns this entire market. Nobody has a credible competitor that's carved out a slice. It's another case of them, for all their faults, still eating people's lunches and leaving/.ers hand-wringing.
It's not a massive market. It's nothing like the original iPhone or iPod markets.
The reason people call the Apple Watch a failure is NOT because Apple is doing poorly in the market. The reason they are calling it a failure is because the Apple Watch has failed to make smart watches something everyone wants.
Personal theory: Most people, consciously or subconsciously, want to be LESS connected to their phones, not more connected.
It's probably the "best-behaved" because it is one of the least effective anti-virus.
It works well for the kinds of people that are not engaged in risky computing in the first place. The other kind are not going to be saved by any kind of AV, but are probably a great source of income for you as a support tech.
It is "best behaved" (for whatever that means) because it simply/does less/.
If by
"does less," you mean it is not hyperactive and so does not train your users to ignore its alerts then, yes, you are correct. It does less.
If I'm accessing a site that simply serves up information and doesn't ask for any details from me, then there's no need for HTTPS.
Your connection can be man-in-the-middled and malicious content served to you, or the middleman could help himself to your cookies. Maybe you have all cookies and javascript disabled, but most of us don't. I mean, there are other ways to mitigate this kind of attack, but it's easiest just to prefer TLS whenever possible.
Relying on signatures to detect malware is a fundamentally flawed system. As the operating systems and, more importantly, the applications that run on them become increasingly secure, the need for the signature-based AV systems declines.
I 100% agree with you. Unfortunately it is regulated industries that are keeping this crap afloat.
Can anyone - anyone! - say with a straight face that we are closer to that scenario right now than we were, say, at the height of the Cold War?
That is not what they are saying. Read TFA:
The group took the "unprecedented" step of moving the clock 30 seconds closer to midnight, to leave it at 2 1/2 minutes away.
The setting is the closest the clock has come to midnight since 1953, when scientists moved it to two minutes from midnight after seeing both the U.S. and the Soviet Union test hydrogen bombs. It remained at that mark until 1960.
It is a pointless metric, but it is lower/farther/whatever-er than it was from 1953-1960.
Created in 1947, the Doomsday Clock was conceived by scientists who had participated in the Manhattan Project. Initially seen as an indicator of the likelihood of disastrous nuclear conflict, it now also includes other threats, such as climate change, biological weapons and cyberthreats.
The more stuff they throw in, the less this thing means.
None of what you said makes any sense. You cannot enforce property rights if you cannot establish ownership. There is no right to secret land ownership. There is no right to not have someone make you an offer.
If you believe in property rights, then those 8 acres are 8 acres and it doesn't matter who the neighbors are, the neighbors don't own those 8 acres and can't pretend they do and close off access. End of issue.
Also, if you don't know who has interest in a property, that's fine. You might not actually have a right to know who has an interest in any property you want to acquire. If it is information you might simply not have access to, then there is no argument that they don't exist or in fact don't have an interest. In that case it just is their own business and their own land and piss off, right?
If you want to buy a private area to close off, my advice is to find one that is for sale, instead of a bunch of smaller plots next to each other with other plots in between that are not for sale. Seems obvious to me.
it's about someone wealthy from some social "platform"'s VC and stock-inflation value that decided to force natives out of their lands just because he has the money to do it. It proves he really hate everyone that isn't him, and uses everyone for his own personal gain.
Where is the angle that distinguishes this from any other rich-person-behaving-badly story, and warrants inclusion on Slashdot?
Automatic braking, lane control and (eventually) SDCs, should be able to increase road capacity by a factor of 2 to 5. As the CEO of Tesla, he should focus on that.
Sounds like your mother in law got a good one. I haven't read the article because I'm on my phone and can't right now, but perhaps WU does not adequately train their employees to recognize fraud.

The only winning move is not to play.
The xBox Elite controller costs approximately the same price as one of these adapters and a cheap keyboard and mouse, and offers an advantage to the player using it. To elaborate, it lets you activate some of the face buttons using paddles, so you don't have to take your thumbs off the sticks.
Nobody prefers controlling an FPS with thumbsticks. It is the compromise you make because you want to play on a couch.

Would $45k not be considered an acceptable pay, for a straight out of collage programmer?
No. Why get a degree in STEM if you're going to have the same problems paying off your loans as your humanities major barista?

a 3% leak is a lot more than the 2.1%
That depends entirely on what kinds of things are in the 3% and the 2.1%, as well as how often they are seen in real world usage.

Security != Compliance
Just goes to show how even the "good" companies think they own their workers.
The "poached" part in the lawsuit seems to indicate that he did the recruiting while still working for Tesla. From the lawsuit, linked in the summary
Anderson collaborated with Urmson on their competing venture on Tesla time, using his Tesla company laptop, and on Tesla's premises.
I suspect it's designed to strengthen the case. The theft of proprietary tech is the main allegation.

What do you get in return for defending him?
What the hell are you talking about? I just called it a
rich-person-behaving-badly story
What I hope to achieve is less crap on the front page of Slashdot and more "news for nerds."
it's about someone wealthy from some social "platform"'s VC and stock-inflation value that decided to force natives out of their lands just because he has the money to do it. It proves he really hate everyone that isn't him, and uses everyone for his own personal gain.

Thanks for reminding us all of this story we didn't care about the first time.
Automatic braking, lane control and (eventually) SDCs, should be able to increase road capacity by a factor of 2 to 5. As the CEO of Tesla, he should focus on that.
Has anyone on earth led to more practical results in those areas than Elon Musk?
In actual fact
You may wish to rephrase that, in light of the summary.
Thank you for letting us know that you don't know anyone in the situation described. Now what, pray tell, does that have to do with the price of rice?
That analogous evidence is just that.
