If you can't figure out that this means "Put your shit in a faraday cage like a freezer" then you are showing either your ignorant youth or your increasing senility.
Or you don't have a shared cultural reference that allows you to connect the dots.
Protip.. the internet doesn't end at the boarders of the USA.
Once you have cables, you get an online community - as described in The Victorian Internet
The Victorian Internet: The Remarkable Story of the Telegraph and the Nineteenth Century's On-Line Pioneers is a 1998 book by Tom Standage. The book was first published in September 1998 through Walker & Company and discusses the development and uses of the electric telegraph during the second half of the 19th century and some of the similarities the telegraph shared with the Internet of the late 20th century.
The central idea of the book posits that of these two technologies, it was the telegraph that was the more significant, since the ability to communicate globally at all in real-time was a qualitative shift, while the change brought on by the modern Internet was merely a quantitative shift according to Standage.
Simply counting how many executive orders a president issues is meaningless in a vacuum. One has to actually ANALYZE those orders to determine if "screw the laws and precedents" is accurate with regard to a particular president.
Yes I agree that context is important. Showing the number of EO's of the current president to be in same the ballpark as of all presidents in his era is also an element of context. Unless you want to take the position that a particular president is biased evil (or biased good), then all presidents will be making a mix of good and bad EO's (and that breakdown will also depend on the bias of the viewer given that EO's tend to be political in nature).
So I would argue that the relative number of EO's is a valid measure of comparison between presidents of a similar era (EG you can't compare today's number of EOs with FDR's 3500 EO's )
In addition, I would posit that it is also impossible to classify EO's written in the current age into being good or bad. That is going to take some historical context that we just don't have right now. So again I feel that the relative number of EO's is a reasonable comparison.
That would be mean something if all executive orders were exactly the same. Your argument is like saying someone that's had 10 jay walking tickets is worse than someone who's robbed 3 banks.
So go on then.. let's see a break down of EO's then. Because until you show some facts you are just blowing smoke out of your arse.
...can do what ever the hell he pleases. It isn't the first time he basically said screw the laws and precedents and tried to ram rod his way down everyone's throats.
So is it Obama or EO's that you have a problem with? Because in recent history the high scores currently are:
Ronnie 381 Bill 364 George W 291 Barack 224 (with 1 year to go) George H 166
the same can be said of macosx - suspend and hibernate is perfectly reliable on apple laptops, but is usually flakey on a hackintosh.
Yeah.. works totally fine in OS X on my MacBook Pro.
But I can't seem to find the configuration controls for the Computer Bag Heater function. You know the one.. where you put the computer to sleep, close it up, put it in your bag, and then an hour later you feel how warm everything still is and realize that the damn computer is still running.
I miss the good old days where companies and people announced interesting things they've done rather than interesting things they're thinking of doing.
For someone reason I read the article and looked at the code. The project is under CVS. There is no neural network interface, only a main method with supporting code that creates one hard-coded NN. The serialization format of the NN is a custom, non-standard format which you have to manually scan and parse characters to read back in. Why write custom parses when you could more easily use xml, json, csv, ini, etc...?
You are totally missing the point here. By creating a FOSS based NN project, what they are actually setting in motion is a crowdsourced Genetic Algorithm (GA) that is designed to improve upon the actual NN product. Thus the NN solution you are complaining about is only the seed data for the GA process, and that this announcement is actually at the level of meta-programming the NN. You really need to come back in 10 years time to see whether the output of the GA is widely used or (most likely) is sitting in some corner of the inter webs, sporting the same festering level of code that you are seeing now.
To paraphrase an old adage.
The great thing about the internet is that anyone can create a FOSS style project. The worst thing about the internet is that anyone can create a FOSS style project.
I thought McAfee's position was more along the lines of "Look at me! Look at me!" with the idea that he could say any old shit, get the attention he craves and then not have to deliver anything as no-one in their right mind would let him near that phone.
Obviously, I don’t have access to a credit card PIN number database. Instead I’m going to use a proxy. I’m going to use data condensed from released/exposed/discovered password tables and security breaches.
By combining the exposed password databases I’ve encountered, and filtering the results to just those rows that are exactly four digits long [0-9] the output is a database of all the four digit character combinations that people have used as their account passwords.
So this "story" doesn't appear in the firehose. Is a total slashvertisement. And is a Timah post to boot.
Talk about the trifecta of everything wrong around here.
Why the fuck do I care about BorgBackup? Is there some salacious tidbit about it being forked from Attic-backup that is totally missing from the summary that would explain everything? Does the Donald do FOSS? What type of onion is best for my belt?
A small government conservative proposing pork barrel politics to counter a non-realistic threat in order to seem like he is the big man on the international stage solely for the purpose of getting elected.
As has been mentioned a lot of times before Kim thrives on crazy threats, and China needs a relatively stable NK (that doesn't actually carry out stupid shit) in order to maintain a buffer.

The real link is Android Vulnerabilities Allow For Easy Root Access
And from that link:
Using these two exploits, one can gain root access on a Snapdragon-powered Android device.
So the click bait headline is that. Click bait. A more correct headline would mention that it is the combination of Snapdragon and Android.
The success rate of Russian missions to Mars is quite low.
Yeah .. the russkies should stick to what they know .. Venus
The bag heater problem occurs to me when I have Virtualbox running with Windows. If I shut Vbox down, before closing the lid, it suspends just fine.
Interesting. The last time it happened to my I was running VBox prior to putting the computer to sleep. I'll have to look into that one.
the same can be said of macosx - suspend and hibernate is perfectly reliable on apple laptops, but is usually flakey on a hackintosh.
Yeah .. works totally fine in OS X on my MacBook Pro.
But I can't seem to find the configuration controls for the Computer Bag Heater function. You know the one .. where you put the computer to sleep, close it up, put it in your bag, and then an hour later you feel how warm everything still is and realize that the damn computer is still running.
If your hardware has problems, what are you contibuting to fix the problem? whining? *tumbleweeds*
Ahh .. victim blaming at its finest.

Genuine question - citation please!

FB is largely a platform for people, namely Americans, to bolster their ego without doing any real work.
Except that world wide, North American FB usage is less than 20% of total FB usage.
You'd normally expect more features in beta, even if not stable. Weird to see less protection on the beta platform
You never saw /. beta did you?
Called it
I thought McAfee's position was more along the lines of "Look at me! Look at me!" with the idea that he could say any old shit, get the attention he craves and then not have to deliver anything as no-one in their right mind would let him near that phone.
Not that it was particular hard to call.
"I set my ATM card's number to "0001" because I'm number one!"
Let me introduce you to this thing call 0-base numbering. Because with *my* PIN of "0000", I'm #1 and you are a poor excuse for a #2

I read this in the firehose yesterday.
Damn .. in my anger I missed seeing it in the firehose today. But there are still a lot of better choices of stories to post.

What type of onion is best for my belt?
A "buffer" against... what?
A buffer against a few million NK refugees is a probably a good place to start.
But it's been what, 70 years and a metric shitload of geopolitical changes? Pretty sure the whole buffer idea is a bit, shall we say, outdated.
But do you really think that the people who control china have a modern mindset?
defense spending does not go against the small government conservative ideology.
Pork barrel spending on anythings is not small government ideology in any way shape or form.
A small government conservative proposing pork barrel politics to counter a non-realistic threat in order to seem like he is the big man on the international stage solely for the purpose of getting elected.
As has been mentioned a lot of times before Kim thrives on crazy threats, and China needs a relatively stable NK (that doesn't actually carry out stupid shit) in order to maintain a buffer.
Something tells me I'd either be very happy with my starting salary, or very unhappy with my "master" salary...
But with the hipster street cred of being a "Happiness Hero", why would you ever care about your salary?
There is not any point arguing with the AC
I dunno, making him jump through hoops is pretty entertaining.
