SHAKEN/STIR deployment should certainly be sped up, at least giving users the option to automatically decline caller-ID spoofed calls. This will make it easier on the abuse enforcement end to shut down their access to legitimate carriers, and also disable their grey routes (e.g. SIM boxes, shady VoIP providers).
If the problem is that only a small amount of pages have been digitally scanned to date, it appears that's because of the Vatican's policy regarding access to the archives. How does new technology allow you to get in with a computer?
If someone could just go in and do a high-resolution scan of all the pages, wouldn't they have -- and then couldn't conceivably anyone try their OCR technology on it?
As someone who used to post on usenet and sysadmin BBSes and write mods to eggdrop bot for IRC (although i'm close to, but not over 40 -- did this as a kid) I can tell you that Slack is a thing because it most resembles instant messenger clients, runs in a web browser, has a lot of apps -- and a really great selection of emojis. It's meant to facilitate communication with millenials!:)
It's really about design and UX. Slack is easy to use for non technical people (think marketing teams perhaps), and has generally pleasant user experience. There isn't really an IRC client that can match it in terms of ease of use -- most users would be confused on the concept of connecting to port 6667, enabling TLS, etc. With Slack all you need is a username/pass and you're good to go on a myriad of devices.
I'm not sure how they exactly use the VirusTotal data as google did disable API access for startups to VirusTotal, but I believe they aggregate that data on their own backend as an 'intelligence source' -- same difference to me!
I was looking at next-gen AV solutions and came across Cylance. I saw a demo of their software -- which consisted of two VMs, one running AVG and another Cylance. The AVG one only got about 20% of samples picked by the sales peson from VirusTotal. Cylance got 100%.
Why?
Because Cylance uses the VirusTotal API! So, of course it would get all these samples..using simple SHA1 hash checksums.
Their sales team seems to focus on low-skill (read: fix the copier, what's devops?) IT departments with smoke and mirrors tactics like this. I called it out right away, and went with a competing product. But based on that scammy behavior, this doesn't seem far off.
...should be expected by anyone who wants to hide data from a force as significant enough as a sovereign entity. Indefinite jailing based on contempt of court sounds a lot like a gentler, longer version of rubber-hose.
Perhaps some type of expiry after 30-60 days of non-use for sensitive encrypted drives might protect against this, since there's no way the person could decrypt the drive after that threshold.
Interestingly enough my Earth Science teacher bore a strong resemblance to Steve Bannon. He was super right-wing republican, he was "alt-right" before alt-right existed as a term. Also this was an all-boys, Catholic high school -- definitely conservative. Definitely full of Giuliani-era Republicans.
He tried to each us that despite CO2 being linked to global warming, much nastier gasses used to come out of cars and were made into plain ol' CO2 by catalytic converters.
So he definitely inserted propaganda into the education system but I think it was from the alternate end of the spectrum...
I'm pretty sure I learned in high school (graduated 2002) in Earth Science (1998, freshman year) that global warming was part of a tropical age-ice age cycle, an ice age being defined as there being ice at the poles of the Earth. That said, I was also taught that climate change is due to greenhouse gases etc causing this to accelerate far faster than the historical record for transition into a tropical age.
So, I don't know what's new about this theory aside from the fact it can be diced up into "alternative facts" that say hey! look! climate change (somewhat) natural!... but we've known all along manmade climate change is most of the problem.
I'm not sure if it's a Russian agenda so much as a man who started out pretty weird and contrarian, having lived in an embassy where he is somewhat disliked for 5 years and pretending to be a perpetual victim of the powerful, staggering in any direction he can by releasing any juicy information that comes in -- regardless who it harms. It just so happens he gets more information from US sources (leakers) than Russian ones, and doesn't even speak Russian himself to read/understand Russian leaks. So, he staggers in that direction to keep himself in the news. But it doesn't seem as well-thought-out as having a real agenda to push.
That's certainly plausible....but is it realistic to imagine Bay area tech workers spending their weekends baking bread, peeling potatoes, cleaning resulting dishes and doing whatever else it takes to minimize food costs? Or will they work from home on the weekend, put in a few more hours, and order delivery when they realize they're starving?
I suppose what I was really trying to say is $100/mo for food might be possible, but in practice, it really doesn't happen.
I think your food analogy creates the assumption that this tech worker has the ability to spend time baking bread from flour. Many of these technical jobs are demanding in terms of hours and energy, and it's rare that individuals working 12 hour days would come home and bake their own bread, and otherwise do all their own cooking. Instead, they end up paying for the $30 pizzas; or use some startup like Munchery or Blue Apron to deliver similarly priced food. Yes, a luxury item; but due to the amount of time they spend working it may be necessary sometimes.
From my perspective, many conferences pander to two things:
* Getting Continuing Professional Education (CPE) hours for those with tech certifications
* Giving an opportunity to use company money to party while justifying it as "educational"
Sure, there are nebulous opportunities for "networking" and some real learning that goes on, but the prime motivator for many is those two items. The rest of it is just the official stuff you have to do in order to get those items.
This! As somewhat of an audio engineer I know various speaker drivers very well, and laptop speakers essentially never have advertised frequency responses above 20KHz. And you're right, realistically, it's more like 18Khz with a steep drop off after 16KHz. Many people can hear 20KHz -- I've done tone tests and found I can hear up to 22KHz. So what speakers is this person using and what manner of computer has this kind of built in tweeters?
Slashvertisement..if they wanted to have a neutral point of view, they could have included information about their competitor Bugcrowd. Instead it's a PR piece, but it's good we've got their CEO resurrecting his seldom-used-but-for-marketing-purposes Slashdot account.
Obviously the AC who wrote this remark doesn't understand how the root DNS zone of the internet works, and that it's regardless of TLDs. The root servers provide start-of-authority (SOA) for all domains, and then your resolver obtains the information as to what authoritative resolvers are for any given TLD. So, establishment of a TLD does NOT bypass this control.
RFC2468 details the story of Jon Postel, who tried to move US control of DNS zones to IANA. This battle still rages, but Ted Cruz hasn't realized other nations (e.g. Russia) have contingency plans to bring up their own root DNS if anything happens with their relationship to the U.S.; making US control of these root DNS zones not-that-important-anymore.
He's trolling -- using the same technique Craig Wright used to scam Gavin into thinking that he was Satoshi Nakamoto -- the "brand new computer" trick. It's a very relevant and snarky troll based on current events, which is what he's been doing with his youtube videos etc. He's not insane, just eccentric and happy to troll on people.
Seriously, this "electromagnetic hypersensitivity" is part of the plot of Better Call Saul, in that his brother is a hypochondriac recluse who stays shielded from EM...but it's not a real disorder. It's a psychiatric one.
As to what lawyer decided to make a real life case out of this after watching the show too much, I'm not sure..
Sorry, but your argument is ridiculous and does something to discredit your opinions in general here, because it is so illogical.
So you are cool with her being rejected for how she looks on the surface?
This is a false reduction of my argument into something that aligns it with racism/feminism etc, a very cheap example of "pulling the card;" but your argument is absurd.
"How she looks on the surface" does not mean her race, sexual orientation, gender or anything that is not her choosing. However, she chose to go into the bathroom, get out bleach, go and dye her hair pink. This is done as a statement, expressing her style; and is completely her choice.
Would you hire someone who carved a swastika into their forehead or had a nice SS tattoo on their neck? Would that be rejecting them by how they look on the surface, or ist hat a choice they've made to send a bold statement with their appearance?
If not, then what's the difference between that and not hiring someone with pink hair because you think they are sending a statement that says "I'm independent/insubordinate and don't care what others think?"
Does she have good judgment? Looking at the picture of her on Ada Intiative's site, she seems to have dyed her hair pink.
Is that a good message to send to would-be developers/technologists? Dye your hair pink, go into interviews, watch as your shown the door for clearly caring more about being a hipster than having a good job.
Seriously, there are very few serious professional technologists who dye their hair flamboyant colors, regardless of gender.
Here in San Francisco, almost all the public toilets not inside a building with security are immediately infested with homeless, drug addicts etc using them for whatever. I've never gone into one that wasn't absolutely flooded and disgusting -- in the rare instance they're available. Many homeless just decide to live in them and break off the door/close it etc. In public transit, they have signs that say "Restroom closed due to terrorism concerns." -- Yes, blame terrorism, not the homeless!
Basically, any area of privacy you leave open to the public ends up going this route in SF (as well as other cities). It has the awful side effect of making it very, very difficult to urinate if you're going around the city without going into a business and perhaps buying something, or finding a building with public restrooms. Thus the tech bros and bums join each other in urinating everywhere.

But you have some way to summon them through a password manager, and a Court would simply order you to release those credentials.

My lease (in SF proper) goes so far as to say you can't even bring a portable dishwasher into the apartment.

Considering CentOS 7.x has been out for well over a year...this is just an extending support for the old CentOS 6 line.
