Netflix routinely touts all the stuff they do to make sure they have high availability - including loss of a whole zone - yet they are still often impacted by AWS choking. Something's not right.
No, you have to manage your own redundancy and failover on AWS. Look at all the effort Netflix has put into programming failover and stress testing and yet they still have frequent outages with AWS.
If I send you an email encrypted with my private key then anyone can read it, but can also be (reasonably) sure the email did in fact come from me and hasn't been tampered with.
I'm familiar with that as signing, not encrypting.
No, they don't need the sender's public key to decrypt. The sender encrypts using the recipient's public key which is tied to the recipient's *private* key. That private key is used for decryption. And nobody should have the recipient's private key but the recipient themselves.
The last straw for me disabling them was when it wouldn't shut up with repeated alerts or obey volume settings. And it was for custody battle crap where I was still getting emergency alerts long after the news had reported finding them safe at a restaurant and were never in any real danger. Yeah, this probably makes me a terrible person for not caring about the children, but I don't need to be walking around with my phone constantly blaring loud noises, either. I signed up for SMS news alerts from local stations long ago which are far more effective for this kind of thing IMO.
A decade ago I would have cared about the ability to swap cards and redo the internals on my computer in 6 month or less intervals, but honestly performance changes these days are slow and trivial by comparison that by the time I feel a part needs upgrading it's probably to buy a new computer anyway.
Microsoft has staff lawyers that won't cost them anything other than the fee to file the dispute. Since the domain just goes to some GoDaddy parking page filled with ads it's more likely to go in Microsoft's favor. I'm sure their lawyers are aware of this.
It doesn't matter. The jammer is transmitting on a licensed band of which the operator is not the licensee. That alone is illegal in any licensed band irrespective of the jammer part.
Shielding is fine, mostly incidental anyway, and isn't an offense. Transmitting on a licensed band when you're not the licensee, on the other hand, is very illegal. Jammers do not "block" RF; they are transmitters. Unquestionably illegal (the jammer part doesn't even matter, really) unless you're the licensee of whatever it's transmitting on.
An MRI is a really big superconducting magnet. If you swallowed some of those balls, had them get stuck in your intestines, then went for an MRI... I can't imagine that would be a very pleasant experience, having several balls forcibly pulled through your soft squishy organs.
I'd say "what's to teach?" They have the source code, and presuming it's documented or well commented, well then that's that. There aren't any secrets. Whether or not the replacement is up to the task at hand is a totally different issue and I'd say is not the poster's problem in the least. If the new kid is worth anything and can actually program then he can easily learn all the "secrets" by reading the code and learning from it. Help familiarize him with the unique points of the particular project? Sure. Teach him how to program? Nope.
U-verse over 3k (possibly shorter if it's old copper) wire feet is generally a bad idea no matter what they tell you. My U-verse has worked flawlessly, but I'm only 1.2k wire feet away. There's only so much you can do with old copper pairs.
Unless he's making your own job a lot harder or you're his boss (or project manager), it's not your place. Your "help" will likely only piss him off more and more and cause problems in the office. Not only will it in *no way* benefit you, but it will very likely *hurt* you and your career--since your manager will come to view you as a source of headaches, your co-worker(s) will view you as a pretentious little prick, and (contrary to popular belief) the guy who helps produce better overall product is almost never rewarded for it anyway. About the fastest way for anyone to piss off their co-workers and bosses is to walk around with a "I'm the best coder here" attitude all day, whether it's true or not. Don't do it.
So, STFU and let management deal with him (or not). That's what they're paid for, not you. Don't offer *any* unsolicited criticism, and even if solicited, offer only a few minor criticisms at a time.

Why does it always have to be weapons? Why can't it just deliver pizzas or groceries autonomously?
whoosh
Half-Life 3 is the new Duke Nukem Forever.
No, the only thing this means is that they're still not working on Half-Life 3.

Outages with AWS and cloudy friends are becoming so common it's almost a non-story at this point.

You will never get a sla that returns money for the lost productivity.
Not entirely true, you can negotiate such things with many providers, but it will cost above and beyond the default contract.

You mean CAT scan?

That was the joke, i.e. "eat them and go die".

All that ended when we went to the Interwbz for phone. Now I have no idea how phone calls can be made unspoofable.
Implement RSA on telephones and have key-signing parties like we did in the good old days. Done.
But the tubes are supposed to be anonymous.
Eh, don't put anything too important that you can't live without on systems outside of your control.
Maybe they tried rolling back to an older version of the cert first.
(Yes, that was sarcasm.)
Throw "on the internet" or "on a computer" in there and you've got yourself a patent.

In short: Lighten up, Francis.
If I could I'd mod this straight to the top.
Ugh, no. It's crap compared to threading that's been around since usenet days. Why we're going backwards these days is anyone's guess.
