A looming hard deadline can do quite a bit for creativity - ask any writer. Given enough time, GENERALLY, you can create a better solution or work but this can also be a hindrance.
the unit's employees have become de facto campaign workers. And once a candidate is elected, the company in some instances goes on to train government employees or provide technical assistance for live streams at official state events.
Any communications company, be it Facebook or TimeWarner or even printing companies that have to act as service agents for the campaign (here's how you get the message on our system) are going to become de-facto campaign workers. Broadcast companies in the US do this to a certain extent as well as part of advertising campaigns but that's a little fuzzier when they're both reporting the news of the candidate on one hand and taking the money from the political candidate with the other. Which is why there are laws about how those relationships work. Is Facebook considered a:"news generator" though that they'd breach that line? Sure they curate the news to a certain extent but is that the same thing?
The latter statement doesn't seem to be a major issue at all. Unless facebook refuses to train government employees if the opposition won... That seems to me just part of doing business.
And what if you replace the battery - I've got an iPhone 6 with a new battery replaced at the Apple store. Does the throttling take into account some metadata date on the battery or does it just assume based upon my device' model #?
Star Wars Clone Wars and Rebels are far, FAR better stories than any of JJ Wars crap (or JJ Trek crap... or JJ anything for that matter) They need to can JJ and put whomever is in charge of Rebels in charge of the movies.
I'd be more surprised if industries that required hard physical labor did NOT result in more health risks as people age. Like firefighting or mining. Will slashdot post an informative article about the increasing costs of health benefits of professional skateboarders when they get around 45?!
Watch me do this half pipe - ooops there goes me dentures!
And we know that particular rendition of those bits came from Kaspersky how?
Because the files made it to Russia VIA Kaspersky - that's an undisputed fact proudly admitted by Kaspersky himself.
Our next task was to try and answer what may have happened to the data that was pulled back. Clearly an archive does not contain only those files that triggered, and more than likely contained a possible treasure trove of data pertaining to the intrusion set. It was soon discovered that the actual archive files themselves appear to have been removed from our storage of samples, while the individual files that triggered the alerts remained.
Upon further inquiring about this event and missing files, it was later discovered that at the direction of the CEO, the archive file, named “[undisclosed].7z” was removed from storage.
When was it removed? They elaborate that it's [now] standard policy but it wasn't at the time. Did the CEO specifically order this file to be removed or was it a general order? Given the reading of the article it appears to be the latter.
The reason we deleted those files and will delete similar ones in the future is two-fold;
This concern was later translated into a policy for all malware analysts which are required to delete any potential classified materials that have been accidentally collected during anti-malware research or received from a third party.
In the future? later translated into a policy? When did this become policy?
BTW, this happened in 2014... What happened in 2015? https://it.slashdot.org/story/...
Larry Walsh at Channelnomics scores the scoop in a Q&A with Kaspersky's Chris Doggett who says it's not the Russian security company's job to figure out who is responsible for a sophisticated cyber attack on its corporate network over the past few months. "We believe that to go beyond our area of expertise and speculate on the possible sources of attacks is not in the best interest of our customers," Doggett said.
"ooooooooo"
No no... must be a long term black op by the NSA...
He not only admitted he downloaded the files, he said he was PROUD that he had downloaded the files as they furthered the investigation into malware.
The files then somehow made their way to the KGB.
Since then he's said that there was a trojan on the PC he got the files from (but the trojan infection wasn't their fault because the PC user had turned off Kapersky for awhile which they also knew) so Russian hackers must've gotten the information that way
Now he's saying it's a giant conspiracy?
He doesn't have to actively work with the Russian government - they could easily have moles in his organization pulling the data out.
But this guy is doing more real science and engineering than most of us ever will.
Oh sure, he mocks the terms - but I interpret that as mocking the orthodoxy. "You can't do that - y'all aint got no degree and learnin!".
Alan Bradley: Some programs will be thinking soon.
Dr. Walter Gibbs: Won't that be grand? Computers and the programs will start thinking and the people will stop.
So first they admitted they retrieved the documents and patted themselves on the back for pulling down the documents that were leaked because they obviously involved data related to hacking.
NOW they're claiming there was malware on his system (oh, and that's not Kapersky's fault either because the user allegedly turned Kapersky off for a bit) so the leaks might have come from the malware and not from them?
I dunno... I would've led with the latter story FIRST...
If you watch Hulu, YouTube or even pay for CBS All Access - you're getting targetted ads in the shows (even if you pay extra with Hulu)
Netflix and Amazon PRIME don't do this so much (as such - you still get ads in the menus) but it's just a matter of time before they do.
That's "TV" today - Grandpa!
Really need to come up with better terms for this.
For instance I don't consider Overwatch's version of loot boxes to be anywhere near gambling. Nothing you can get affects gameplay or winnability (unless you wanna count being stunned momentarily in game by a "whoa - awesome skin" moment *BLAM*) just bragging rights stuff. Sure there's randomness to the collectibles but nothing more than you'd get out of a toy vending machine at the grocery store - and those aren't unregulated gambling.
That said, yeah, there are plenty of instances out there of trying to get better items for gameplay, which I loathe, but even though these are also "loot crates" they're an entirely different beast.
Even THEN, though, how different is that then having ultra-rare in game items that can be purchased with in-game currency that has to be earned through dozens of hours of grinding or constantly finding and fighting certain classes of monsters hoping to get the right drop? Sure you don't pay with money - but you do pay with TIME which is inarguably more valuable to you.
That's actually an interesting point. I've got an '02 sports car with a nice after market stereo in it - has a nice graphic equalizer display with animating levels, etc; Still, I'd like to get a newer (but just as nice) after market stereo with bluetooth and USB but they don't seem to exist anymore. I can get something with a basic LED screen but nothing as fancy as before OR I can get one with a flip out video screen (meh) or something like a double DIN (which requires getting a custom center console plastic to fit).
As it is, I've been hanging with the one I've got but it seems the whole aftermarket car stereo thing is dying.
How many other accounts have simply been disappeared by a twitter employee that didn't like the account that never got noticed and remained deleted because they weren't the President of the US?

For proof I submit - Star Citizen.
Do they look like the carrier suits in Aliens that Ripley wore?!?!
Please?!?

Nor can we infer that reducing glass size would cut drinking.
Heh - here's your legally approved thimble size glass of wine sir.
Screw that - gimme the bottle!

Russia-linked accounts were active on facebook before global warming.

Gazelle: I told you. I made contact with the KGB, MI6, Mossad, and Beijing. They all insist it wasn't one of theirs.
Valentine: Beijing. So freaky how there's no recognizable name for the Chinese Secret Service. Now that's what you call a secret, right?
