I assume you know that the black hole itself isn't emitting light, but its accretion disk is. There is a bunch of mass that "falls" into the black hole. This mass doesnt approach it head on, it is traveling by. As the black hole pulls the mass, it speeds up and builds angular momentum. This causes is to form a decaying orbit around the black hole. As it falls, it causes friction with all the rest of the mass falling in at the same time. This generates enormous amounts of heat that glows in various bands of radiation. The most luminous generate X-rays, Gamma-rays, light, infrared rays, microwaves, and lower-frequency radio waves.
This object has a massive accretion disk, that is super-luminous.
I wasn't being sarcastic, that's what I meant by my post. Apple writes iOS because selling $1000 phones is a good business, and having an OS that drives those sales rocks. Google wrote (bought?) Android because it wanted a collection device in the hands of more people.
I agree with your point, I have seen that quote, and that's what I meant by my post.
If someone owns my Linux box, not all is lost. My computers are independently secure. Plus there are plenty of guides and man pages. All one has to do is read, and it is a great learning exercise. I typically install fail2ban, since I have access from outside, and since I'm running a fedora variant, I cron yum updates. I am on the Kernel-ML path, so my kernels are pretty up to date, but I reboot it only on Monday mornings to mitigate outages when it's inconvenient.
I beg to differ. It is much less secure to "trust" the closed routers than to know what you are running, given that you can read. I do know what mods and software versions I am running, I know what's exposed to what, but you DEFINITELY don't know what's running in your "off the shelf at Fry's" router. Those don't self update, and they get owned, prricipatenin botnets, run back doors, and may even have spyware running on them. No thanks.
I like using Linux boxes with packet-forwarder turned on in the kernel, and using either IPTables or firewalld, depending on your flavor. I then use my "router" to serve me web content and handle my VPN for me while I'm away from home. Oh, and I would highly recommend something like this: tiny PC with multiple 1GB NIC ports, Wifi, BT, etc... so you can have a WAN and a LAN port. It is easier to configure it this way.
I think it did. They probably edited it to remove the name, as often happens in media when a company doesn't pay for advertising. Ever notice how many Mac computers have their Apple logos taped over?
IANAL, but there might be some legal risk as well, if the Salon felt the demo damaged their reputation or sales. Removing the name was wise. As for google not acknowledging it, probably has to do with them not wanting to acknowledge an edit, or the rep couldn't get ahold of the engineers to verify. The story is on slashdot now, so expect clarification soon.
Sounds like a shitty entitled asshat complaining about others expressing their right to drive a scooter, and he doesn't like them.
His assertion about phones in hand is just put me off as well. The scooter drivers have a right to be on the road. If they don't follow local laws (cell phone driving laws) then ththey police will deal with it. You don't get to decide what others use. So yeah, used to it.
More like: we have reason to believe you were involved in a crime that happened adjacent to your work/home route. Your cell phone was the closest phone in proximity to the theft, and an eye witness says she can identify the culprit. Please stem this way to the window line up so our witness can identify or exonerate you.
Have fun getting your ass ponded because "the government has no reason to want to hurt me".
He didnt invent any of those things. He is more like Henry Ford then. Just made them good enough for everyone to want one, and feel like they needed it.
I can't believe they caved. I mean, after firing their engineers because they have different political viewpoints than their uber-politically-correct executives, I would actually bet that they would, but it is disheartening.
There were some who were tripped out traveling so fast on trains when they first came out. In fact, the mayor of NYC cautioned people against trains, claiming they would suffocate from traveling too quickly. This is just like that. Some people will rage against it, but you have to stand by your work. There was nothing unethical these bots were doing.
Google just invented something awesome. Others will build similar bots, and not be so spineless in its deployment. Who cares if its a bot you are talking to? You need the human to perform a task, you interact with said human using a bot, you get the task done. Where is the ethics concern other than after the fact, the human would feel stupid for not identifying the bot as a bot?
That is a typical datacenter with a bunch of low utilization workloads probably with a bunch of collocation. Go work for a datacenter from a company that actually uses its gear. With cloud infrastructure growing 20% annually, these datacenters are busy hubs of activity. So much so, that google send "runners" with crash carts to do hw replacement. These are not your grandfather's datacenters. These are datacenters ingesting millions of photos an hour. Also, with regards to the construction pool.... think regionally, not city limits.
Horseshit. Datacenter creation involves a lot of concrete work, a lot of electrical installs, bathroom fixtures, lighting, offices, carpet, doors, loading docks, asphalt in the drive ways and parking lot, etc etc etc.
The only thing that will probably be custom and contractors flown in is for the low-volt and fiber networks. Everything else will have to be built to local building codes and inspected by the local authority, whom the local contractors have working relationships with.
Then there is the maintenance, like painting, remodels, etc etc.
In the middle, there are the jobs for the folks who man the datacenter.
At the end, there are restaurants, hotel staff, and local nightlife who thrive on Apple employees and consultants that would come through to maintain and upgrade the datacenter. That's thousands of hotel room/nights those businesses won't see.
No one is guilty of vehicular manslaughter. This is an accident due to bad design. You don't jail the engineers or architects who design a building that fails in an earthquake. You don't arrest the airline execs when a plan component fails. The only difference here is software failed. Learn from the mistake, don't do it again. Sheesh.
Every free blog and newspaper website supports itself through the use of ads. If those ads violate, but the GPDR trolls attack the small outlet. This won't be cool.
What they know is that the last 800,000 years is actually quite a lul in CO2 concentrations, geologically speaking. Data from the past 34 million years (which we have due to trapped atmosphere in bubbles formed on ice sheets) suggests that there used to be much more in the atmosphere.
In fact, the earth has been unusuallly cool. Actually, it has been much colder and hotter, but that's just the natural range of the good earth.
Even so, I wonder when autopilot, or any such software will ever be "good enough". If this guy has stated, that statistically speaking, the car is safer than him, a claim Tesla themselves state, then why should this be a problem? Every time someone gets hurt in a Tesla crash, we call for them to ban this tech, but thousands and thousands of people die every day from driving people. Some of the best drivers still have a one-and-only fatal accident. When will it be enough for us to say "let's transition now, since it's safer, to not requiring the person"?
Your internet prices seemed to be subsidized by your TV pricing. If you no longer pay for TV pricing then your internet pricing will rise to compensate. After all, someone has to pay for the cable to get to your house, and that was likely massively financed, so there are continued payments due on the loans. You might have to learn to accept it.
Taxes are not being spent how they want. They weren't elected and don't get to decide a budget for NASA. If they want to probe the ice in the lunar pole, let them write a check. Elon must wanted a human on the red planet, he wrote a check.
You are confusing two technologies. The DNS systems employed by lets encrypt doo foot server lookups, and it would be difficult to have a coordinated attack hijack all of their authorization servers. The vulnerability here is in BGP, which advertises routes to public IPs. There are no defenses or security against route hijacking, which allows an attack to take place.
The mitigation strategy is for the satellite operator, not the general public.
If you want one.... go underground?
Also, it's not security through obscurity when someone makes a hypothetical attack vector. I was referencing the argument that we should not share security vulnerabilities.... reread the thread, dumbass.
No, there wasn't. Civilizations change thing perpetually. We were the first to mine coal, drill for oil, extract deposits of rare earths, and precious metals.
Also, some things shouldn't go missing. Tracks on the moon, orbital satellites, undecomposable manmade polymers and alloys, radioactivity.
Security through obscurity is no security at all, and no amount of smugness in a retarded comment will fix that.
Releasing the know how does multiple services. First, it lets independent operators or consumers of said tech determine if the attack vector works on their systems. Second, it encourages the producers / manufacturers to implement fixes. They will be less inclined to spend the resources correcting the issues if they feel the fact that the attack isn't in the wild. Third, it prevents bas actors from capitalizing on an attack since the issue would be resolved faster. Fourth, it allows consumers to implement mitigation strategies and test them, while a solution is being formulated.

That's what I was thinking. What stops a bag from falling? There is debris on the bottom of oceans, the depths should be irrelevant.
