Dunno why you have a 1 on this! There are MANY good pointers from TBOFH. I use the "excuse list" all the time; actually trying to explain issues to end-users is often just a waste of energy. I've found the quickest way to get someone's attention is to just cut off specific IT resources. When people in our Mexico plant wouldn't call us back or respond to numerous emails (in both Spanish and English) about their impending email domain transition I finally just started converting the mailboxes 24 hours after initial contact. I'd make sure the very last email was from us, with my (native) Spanish-speaking helpdesk guy's contact info and an explanation of why they wouldn't be getting any more email until they called in.
Had some VPN "proposal" errors, couldn't get the network admin in Brazil to respond to me for over a week. Disabled their site-to-site VPN, got a call within a few minutes. Sometimes being a BOFH is the only way to get stuff done.. I've got the excuse list printed out on my wall.
That's part of the shuffle going on here. First, they bring in the immigrants to train in California. Some might stay. The University is still tweaking the plan IRT. Some Indians are going back to India to train "their own teams". Some might stay here. So, it's both. No one seemed to notice that it's ONE GUY in the US, and will become a WHOLE TEAM in India.
This is going to be a disaster. You can't learn a system in two days. Even with perfect documentation, you need way more time. This isn't some coding project. The sys admin mention probably manages dozens of undocumented systems. Stuff will work for a while, but after the first power outage, time change, etc...someone4 is going to be calling these guys up constantly getting information from them for the rest of their lives.
They are a bully, but NOT gaslighting. If they where, you wouldn't ever know it. The idea behind gaslighting is to make someone question their own sanity or "efforts to manipulate someone's sense of reality" This is a funny version of gaslighting. If someone is that much of an asshole, I'd be looking for another job ASAP.
They should probably try to find out if other people have had these issues with this employee. Talk to HR, as that's supposed to be "confidential". Don't mention names at first, just tell them the situation at first. Make sure THEY are documenting it. But, yeah, it sounds like it's time to move on. Make sure you update your resume.
"every minute your awake"? HA. The head of our IT called me last month at 4:15AM. Of course, it was 10:15 in Limerick. All because a server we host was "not working", and it turns out it was THEIR side of the VPN that was having issues. Didn't even bother asking his network admin to look at anything, just calls me first because we host it.,
I was thinking more of turning off the electricity to the house itself, then changing the password on the meter to some giant randomized string if possible so the utility company can't just turn it back on easily. TFA says "hard-coded credentials". Still, the psychological effects of cutting off your enemies civilian population's electricity could be tremendous. Think of the propaganda..."even in the middle of the USA, you are not safe" especially if there was a larger conflict going on.
Not "starting WWIII", but would make an excellent "distraction" attack. Even just knocking out the power to millions of homes and businesses at the start of a conflict would be an amazingly effective attack both tactically and physiologically. Even if it's just a small over-all percentage, this would be just another prong in the electronic / cyber side of the next major conflict and will seriously freak out any population. Other attacks would include massive DDOSing, BGP router attacks, corruption of any reachable firmware, "cyber" attacks on drones / UAVs, etc.
Well, if our entire existence is nothing more than a huge game with changing, morphing rules...and the "reward" is being forced to spend all eternity in the direct company of the entity who set us all up, then "not getting into Heaven" is fine with me. "Literal word of God"...sure, if God itself actually wrote any of this down and gave it to humanity, in a form that was forever unchanging (and unchangeable by humans), then that would be far more convincing. What we actually have is translations of translations of translations of text that the "original" is long gone; shaped by political regimes of Emperors, Kings, Popes, bishops, and so forth. The "heretical" books paint a VERY different religion; yet modern Christians accept the decisions of a small (less than 300) group of Roman Catholic Christians of what books are "real" and which are "heretical".
Even Evangelicals, Protestants, Southern Baptists, and all the other major modern Christian sects accept what the Council of Nicaea decided. It's only through a few movies like Stigmata and The Matrix series that the public gets any exposure to Gnostic ideals. Maybe this is just my experience due to "American Exceptionalism", one of who's main goals is to ignore history outside of the boarders of the American meme empire, and citizens of other countries haven't "cleaned" their religious history to such an extent.
These devices have issues on a MUCH "higher level", SQL injections are the least of their issues. GMS, grid-wide passwords...I'm assuming no encryption at all for the signals. It looks like one doesn't even need to get into any code-specific exploits...just a 2G GSM transmitter and some protocals, and maybe a list of commands. Pull up next to someone's house, hijack the signal and probably get the meter itself to just explode.
If properly exploited, this will be a "virtual" WMD in WWIII. A bit of code, replicated out across the tower network, once triggered could potentially start millions of simultaneous house fires across the USA, and knock out most urban power grids. A few minutes later, trigger other code at the power plants to do something similar. Like a STUXNET but aimed at the electrical grid and smart meters.
From the article: "One man shares a single room with three children, in a house where three other families each have a room." So it's not "4 bedrooms and 5 kids" (which would indicate maybe seven people across four bedrooms), more like a minimum of 11 people across three bedrooms (given if the other rooms are single parents with a single child). If it's the "American average" (two parents, two kids), then it's 16 people in 3 bedrooms. That's 3x "population density" of your example.
The official definition is:"A homeless person is an individual without permanent housing who may live on the streets; stay in a shelter, mission, single room occupancy facilities, abandoned building or vehicle; or in any other unstable or non-permanent situation." This study seems to be going off the "without permanent housing"; making the assumption 16+ people in a "single family" house isn't supposed to be permanent. The families mentioned living in RVs are also not in permanent housing.
Yet in a way, this is a "first-world" or "modern day" definition, since only 100 years ago (or even today in other countries) population density like this isn't out of the norm.
The laws of thermodynamics are just a theory, after all. I know your being sarcastic, but the recent EMDrive findings might show your closer to being correct in some ways than you think LOL
“The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes.”
I'm not saying that we shouldn't do some "upgrades", retire some old tech via introducing some new...and we really will need to upgrade our delivery and defensive systems to counter-act the newer systems that Putin is pledging to develop. Perhaps Trump will take another page from Reagan and actually develop and deploy a working "star wars" defense system. If so, I'm hoping Trump also makes the system "reversible", as in able to defend outwards as well as downwards.
Oh, I'm sure if we put our minds to it we could indeed harm the planet itself. If we could somehow set off a bunch of nukes on the other side of the Moon, and push it out of orbit and into an Earth collision course that would qualify.
Reading around in particular on this mission (SJ 17), you should have been upmodded instead. The test of this drive isn't the main mission...the main mission is probablly more along the lines of "in space Eavesdropping":The observed maneuvers provide clear clues on the intent of the SJ-17 mission as a Space Situational Awareness pathfinder, testing navigation technologies to link-up with resident objects in Geostationary Orbit – getting sufficiently close to capture optical imagery of the object and shadowing it at close distance to intercept its uplink communications.
This is a test to see if they can maneuver close enough to intercept signals. Today their targeting a Chinese orbiter...but once this tech is ironed out it will probably be set up for rapid in-orbit deployment against non-Chinese systems. I see a use of having a sat like this sit in GEO orbit nearby potential targets, but not "too close" until mission green-go. They will then use whatever electrical engines (EMDrive, conventional ion, whatever works) to get into uplink intercept range. I can even see, in case of an actual conflict, "sacrificing" and taking out a comsat.
The whole EMDrive is just icing on the cake here; it's just a means to an end for in-orbit maneuvering.
I'm pretty sure I remember you have previous posts calling people "space nutters", and are pretty rabid in attacking anything outside mainstream NASA. The claim that CAST has nothing just because the English version has nothing means nothing...unless you've gone through the Chinese language version and can prove the two sites contain the same information.
Chen Yue said: "We use the classic electromagnetics and electrodynamics to design several different shapes of thrusters, theoretical analysis can generate thrust thrust, and through the test of the thrust, the results in line with theoretical analysis. Science and Technology Daily Beijing December 10 "
Roger Xiaoe in an interview was also asked this "eternal" problem, he made it clear that the EM engine does not violate Newton's law of mechanics: "EM engine in a direction to generate propulsion, if circumstances permit, will In another direction, the momentum of the whole process is conserved. "This explanation is considered ambiguous.
"We have successfully developed several specifications of several prototype principle, the establishment of experimental verification platform to complete the milli-level micro thrust measurement test, through several years of repeated tests and the corresponding interference factor investigation test, confirm that the type of thruster Thrust exists. "Chen Yue introduced that they have completed the test device can be used for flight test development, is in orbit verification.
"This technology is currently in the latter stages of the proof-of-principle phase, with the goal of making the technology available in satellite engineering as quickly as possible," said Li Feng, chief architect of the China National Space Technology Institute's communications satellite division. , The principle prototype volume, thrust is small, require special engineering methods, optimize the cavity design, improve the cavity quality factor, reduce the loss, the microwave energy is more effective for generating thrust. At present, the thrust is measured to micro-cow level to millennial level, at least to improve the level of 100 cents or even cattle-level satellite can be used for attitude control, orbit and so on.
Active skillsofts? Could these nanowires pick up tuned transmissions and further interact on a cellular level? Perhaps even figuring out how to make them so their only absorbed into specific types of cells...
If anything, the money will be used like Oklahoma use's the lotto money for "education". Instead of adding any money into the educational budget, they use the money to "fill up" that part of the budget, and then take the money that would have gone into that and it goes wherever they want. No additional money is actually added to that part of the budget.
And what about companies buying computers for their employees? Of course, most decent-sized corps don't buy from a local supplier...but if I was refreshing a site in SC I would be pretty upset to suddenly have to pay an extra $20 per unit. And if I was a manufacturer, I'd be pretty pissed about having to add additional procedures just for a single state. I think that this might even end up in a lawsuit around regulation of intrastate commerce, but IANAL.
Actions like this make companies not want to move into / expand into states that try things like this.
That's what I am thinking too...often, "archiving" data means backing it up and putting the physical media some place that is secure and inaccessible in case of some disaster recovery scenario or to remove old, unused data from the more-often accessed systems to lighten the load on the infrastructure. They shouldn't be "archiving" it, they should be "replicating it" to various cross-border systems that are outside the control of the centralized US government.
I immediately thought of ARTEMIS, the current autonomous robotic exploration crafty working under the ice shelves in Antarctica. However, I'm sure this drone is far more primitive than whatever finally gets sent off-world.
I'll feed you a bit more troll. I'm not "looking" for any conspiracy. All people's notions of reality are "biased". My extrapolation of potential future events is based on history; it's not my fault that historically groups like that tend to form around divisive figures such as Trump.
As for "checks and balances", that ideal has already been destroyed in this instance by the denial of allowing a sitting President to place a Supreme Court justice. That is a fundamental part of "our system of government" that was blocked. I agree with you about the group mind conditioning about "crying wolf"; that too is part of how the Followers of Kek work by placing their charged symbologies into far-reaching public views.
Your logical fallacies of implying what I said includes anything about Romney, racisism, Obama, Clinton, etc is atrocious. Your claiming because other people said ABC, and what I said resembles ABC, then we are both implying XYZ is also true. I don't think, and have NEVER claimed (in my last two posts here, on any post I've ever made anywhere, or IRL) that "anyone who didn't vote for Clinton is sexist" and your committing a false attribution. Personally I think she was a horrible choice for a popular election candidate and has too much baggage and an inappropriate (the nicest word I can think of) public demeanor to be President. I've never even given a second thought to Romney's "binders of women". SOME people didn't vote for Obama because they ARE racist, but I would never postulate that is the "main" reason people didn't vote for him. Most who voted against him did so based on his past political agenda and stated policies; only a few where taken in by the "birther" conspiracy stuff. Unfortunately, the main public proponent of that conspiracy is now President-elect.
As for conjecturing specific words, the words "might" and "when" aren't even IN my original post. That's your conjecture, not mine. Just like your logical fallacy of associating my "conspiracy" prediction with other people's assumptions of past candidates. As for my prediction, there are already incidents happening of people getting confrontational with others in regards to Trump's statements. Just do a search of "video trump supporters" with "visa" "deportation" "airplane" etc. These are the seeds of the "5th column" vigilante group I was originally speaking about. They have yet to sprout into a true organization; I can only hope those "checks and balances" can stop that from happening.
I said "when", implying something that might happen in the future. It's not a conspiracy, I'm not claiming that anything like that is happening right now. Just that, looking over how "strong personality" type of governments go, it's highly possible. At the moment Trump isn't controlling any of this on social media, at least not via Reddit that I know of. Steve Bannon, on the other hand, is a pretty rabid racist who IS a "conspiracy theorist" and uses social media...does he specifically use Reddit? I don't know. Micheal Flynn Jr. referenced #pizzagate, which is from Reddit, and WAS General Flynn's Chief of Staff. That's no conspiracy, that's out in the open off Twitter: "Until #Pizzagate proven to be false, it'll remain a story. The left seems to forget #PodestaEmails and the many "coincidences" tied to it."
Trump could reign all this in, before it grows into manifestation again. The "Followers of KeK" are playing with fire in a metaphysical, occult sense. This too follows the same lineage as Welteislehre, Sangue e Spirito, and other "background occult movements" that form around authoritarian leaders.
He didn't do anything "against Trump", I seriously doubt Trump has any knowledge of what's going on; at least not until now. Technically, the only time something is a 1st Amendment "free speech" issue is when the censorship is by the government, not by a private entity or corp. Regardless, the situation "over all" is not "fine". If it was such a big deal to him, he should have just killed off the thread, accounts, etc instead of manipulating the posts.
But if these users are followers of KeK, then this is a good lesson on using Chaos magick. There will always be repercussions that manifest like this. You might get your digital reality to break through IRL, but there will be a personal cost to pay eventually. The "Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will" is full of pitfalls and deep shadows.
So he trolled the trolls. These "users" are part of Trump's social media "5th column", led by Steve Bannon. They are destroying our "democracy" with their conspiracy theories, now even member's of Trump's staff (well, now ex-staff) General Flynn's son is spreading the rumors...with the horrible logical fallacy of "argumentum ad ignorantiam", or "Until #Pizzagate proven to be false, it'll remain a story. The left seems to forget #PodestaEmails and the many "coincidences" tied to it."
When the "Make America Great Again Neighborhood Block Councils" are formed, their CNC will be Reddit and 4chan. They won't be wearing brown shirts, but more "classy" officially licensed Trump clothing.

As for my prediction, there are already incidents happening of people getting confrontational with others in regards to Trump's statements. Just do a search of "video trump supporters" with "visa" "deportation" "airplane" etc. These are the seeds of the "5th column" vigilante group I was originally speaking about. They have yet to sprout into a true organization; I can only hope those "checks and balances" can stop that from happening.
I said "when", implying something that might happen in the future. It's not a conspiracy, I'm not claiming that anything like that is happening right now. Just that, looking over how "strong personality" type of governments go, it's highly possible. At the moment Trump isn't controlling any of this on social media, at least not via Reddit that I know of. Steve Bannon, on the other hand, is a pretty rabid racist who IS a "conspiracy theorist" and uses social media...does he specifically use Reddit? I don't know. Micheal Flynn Jr. referenced #pizzagate, which is from Reddit, and WAS General Flynn's Chief of Staff. That's no conspiracy, that's out in the open off Twitter: "Until #Pizzagate proven to be false, it'll remain a story. The left seems to forget #PodestaEmails and the many "coincidences" tied to it."
Trump could reign all this in, before it grows into manifestation again. The "Followers of KeK" are playing with fire in a metaphysical, occult sense. This too follows the same lineage as Welteislehre, Sangue e Spirito, and other "background occult movements" that form around authoritarian leaders.
He didn't do anything "against Trump", I seriously doubt Trump has any knowledge of what's going on; at least not until now. Technically, the only time something is a 1st Amendment "free speech" issue is when the censorship is by the government, not by a private entity or corp. Regardless, the situation "over all" is not "fine". If it was such a big deal to him, he should have just killed off the thread, accounts, etc instead of manipulating the posts.
But if these users are followers of KeK, then this is a good lesson on using Chaos magick. There will always be repercussions that manifest like this. You might get your digital reality to break through IRL, but there will be a personal cost to pay eventually. The "Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will" is full of pitfalls and deep shadows.
So he trolled the trolls. These "users" are part of Trump's social media "5th column", led by Steve Bannon. They are destroying our "democracy" with their conspiracy theories, now even member's of Trump's staff (well, now ex-staff) General Flynn's son is spreading the rumors...with the horrible logical fallacy of "argumentum ad ignorantiam", or "Until #Pizzagate proven to be false, it'll remain a story. The left seems to forget #PodestaEmails and the many "coincidences" tied to it."
When the "Make America Great Again Neighborhood Block Councils" are formed, their CNC will be Reddit and 4chan. They won't be wearing brown shirts, but more "classy" officially licensed Trump clothing.
