Honestly, I remember having the same conversation with my old employer, almost a decade ago. I'm not sure about the exact hardware requirements but it was pretty much something along the lines of what you said. Without the proper hardware, it wasn't economically feasible to mine them as you were paying more in electricity than you'd be making from the coins mined.
So rest assured, you're not that far off. Thing is I probably would've cashed out when they went over $100, let alone 10k. Anyone who wasn't already well-off, I'm guessing probably did the same.
You can word it the way you want. If it's not usable, it's not worth anything.
That's not a translation, that's re-wording what I said. I don't know how Linus thinks, but from what I can see through my years of reading/. he thinks in a "get things done" manner and should you get in the way of that, he won't shy from telling you in the worst way possible. That's about the bulk of what I know about him, not very interested in knowing more; Linux just isn't that big a priority/interest for me or the work that I do daily.
His point was that people were breaking things in the kernel in order to 'fix' security bugs. And he stated something like "if it is a broken piece of crap, no one will use it, so who cares how secure it is then?".
"Something like"? No he either stated it or he didn't. Why are you so obsessed with re-wording other people's statements? I searched the "article" (as you call it) and no mention of "if it is a broken piece of crap" came up.
From the sounds of it, someone was trying to push code (or was asking for changes or rules to be added, whatever) that would kill the system should something illegal be happening. That sounds like a fundamentally stupid thing to do on a critical system, or any system for that matter... So I can understand why anyone with a brain would rage at that.
tl;dr : You like re-wording other people's statements and Linus likes to rage. News at 11.
It doesn't have to be lightning fast so you can stream your favorite series on Netflix. You can pay for a conventional internet service for that.
What we need are sub-networks for communities to freely share information among themselves without having to worry if [insert favorite ISP name here] is snooping on them. Should we find an effective way of connecting the nodes (communities) then we effectively have a "new internet" in the making.
Networking from a technical level is not my strong point though, so I'd love to know the limitations of such an idea.
What the article talks about isn't hacking. It's using what actual hackers have made/found to maliciously exploit software for their own purposes/enjoyment. I don't practice hacking, but I have a pretty deep respect for the actual hackers. Most of the time the when the mainstream media uses the term, they're referring to script kiddies.
It shouldn't have to be repeated on a site like this that hacking isn't necessarily malicious by definition.
since "with small scale comes a dependence on external IT suppliers or 'jack-of-all-trades' IT generalists trying to manage cybersecurity along with many other responsibilities.
Not just the small scale businesses have this issue as we tend to see time and time again in the news...
The issue is that people care more about what other folks post or who liked their posts on Facebook or what's on the next episode of Big Brother than who they're voting for.
AND THEN THEY ACTUALLY GO AHEAD AND VOTE ANYWAYS!!!!!!
Of course the trying-to-be-elected are going to abuse the shit out of that, who wouldn't? I'm over-generalising, sure. But I'm not THAT far off.
I didn't vote in the last Canadian election because every choice sucked. The country's going to hell and all we care about is muslim women wearing cloths in front of their faces. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with people?? Sorry I've had a few to drink this evening.
So they've done their job. Amazon should fix it. The researchers should continue to do their job. Amazon should keep fixing what they find.
Isn't that the whole point? No software is perfect, even through rigorous QA, shit gets through. Sure, it's broken, people can exploit it. So Amazon should fix it. You need a criminal who's smart enough and desperate enough to try and pull this off. If you're seriously worried about this, add your own camera and DON'T connect it to the internet. Your paranoia has just been solved.
It's technology. People are going to break it. Fuck. Cmon people, it's 2017.
In Asia, they do the same thing, keep food out for 12 hours unrefrigerated and then eat it the next day. They don't get sick, I watched them. And even a few times ate the food myself (they didn't tell me, I found out afterwards).
I do that every weekend with pizza! Lo-and-behold, here I am commenting!!... is it Friday yet?
What is there to cite? You just have to walk outside and listen to people talk.
My contribution was clearly to raise our friend's awareness that racism is not just about the loud-mouthed racial slurring nazis. Our friend Michael did an excellent job hammering the point further.
Bullshit. Racism is not tolerated in polite society, and nearly all of the racists you can still find are either the handful of nazi wannabes or they're tenured leftards in taxpayer-dependent institutions.
Great, well that settles a lot. All racist episodes are self-inflicted. Now let's go worry about something else.
No, however it's worth taking into consideration that people will do this kind of thing (probably more frequently than we know) to extract money from the rich/corporations.
It's better than crying "ABUSE" right off the bat. It's also better than "Now let's go worry about something else."
One should be mindful when confronted with situations like these. (Or any, for that matter.)
Is how I've always viewed them in my environment. You can't bullshit your way out of a random change. Intentional or not. And with very good reason!
Sometimes the odd dev (guilty...*) will try to sneak in a change in an unrelated issue. Since the release notes contain all issues fixed since the last release, you can just bring up the changelist and go *AHA!*. Internally this is not usually an issue as nobody actually checks changelists unless a nasty software issue arises, and damn you if you caused it through the above-mentioned shortcut... Externally though, try it and you'll likely get your ass handed to you.
*Being a "get things done" kind of person... I tend to take too many shortcuts/juggle too many tasks at once. It's worked most of the time (internally) but I've sweat a few bullets in my meager time as a soft.dev. regardless. It's also a lot of un-required stress (unless you just don't care). Take. Your. Time. Folks.
It's about what others share about YOU. With how people carelessly sign-up for services that politely ask you if they can scour your contacts to see if they can find someone who also uses said service so they can link you both; why is it surprising to anyone that you eventually become known despite never actually having shared anything yourself?
We have the ability to compute a LOT of information in this day and age. Think of what Facebook, et al, are doing as detective work on super-steroids.

Bitcoin hitting one million would be gross alright.
It's great to be aware of certain dangers.
But damn....
Hates C++.
Loves Java.
Go will *replace* C?
Is there anything of value to read here? (No I haven't even RTFS)
Translating your wording into Linus' thinking:

Sounds like you made a little too much money with this. Don't let it get to your head good sir.
Touche.

Osti calisse de tabarnaque!
Is that good enough?
I would also like to apologize for your use of "you're" in the wrong context.
Sorry.
Trying to overtake us Canadians as the nice folks on this planet!

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Anyone who didn't see this coming the moment Google forked Webkit simply wasn't paying attention.

My 2 cents. I'm probably full of shit, surely?
