  1. Ah. Well i stopped reading... on Adobe's Next Major Creative Cloud Release Won't Support Older OSes (petapixel.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Right here: "I'm still rocking Windows 7 because, in my opinion, there isn't anything wrong with it"

    You are whats wrong with it.

  2. Nope on How AI Can Spot Exam Cheats and Raise Standards (ft.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't think this is a great idea. I mean, all that money to make sure students that pay tens of thousends of dollars aren't cheating mostly themselves.... it's fucking stupid and it says more about the whole idea of modern capitalism, the illusion of meritocracy and the doubtful relevance of superior education, that about the students that would cheat themselves.

    Um. Every state – NOT country, but STATE– worth its salt is conducting industrial and governmental espionage. It is what states do. Its like, its their thing, man.

  5. d.tube distributed video on a blockchain on YouTube Is Removing Some Nootropics Channels (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    We need to start moving to the distributed blockchain platforms as fast as possible. Check out steemit, busy.org, d.tube and the others coming around and on top of stuff like ipfs. Central platforms need to be phased. Im not saying current platforms are the way to go, but definitively, we need to empower distributed storage and services on blockchains transparent contracts, very much away of centralized palaces like alphabet's offers.

  6. Not smart, but it is right on Spain's Crackdown on Catalonia Includes Internet Censorship (internetsociety.org) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Cataluña has no reason to secede. Nationalists, who are basically localist fascists are the ones pushing for an impossible exit of cataluña from the Spain, when by the way, they werent anexed. Cataluña entered Spain voluntarily, more than 500 years ago. Now the spanish government though is anything but smart. Prime Minister Rajoy could almost qualify as a sea sponge if we are talking about intelligence. This is why this move on the Spanish part is sad, stupid, but not unforseen. It plays into the hands of the fucking cataluña nazis, which is what nationalists are.

  7. Re:well, yeah on Court Rules That Imported Solar Panels Are Bad For US Manufacturing (theverge.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    Deficits between a rich nation and a poor one means that the rich nation, with the most power, imports more than the poor one, with the lesser power. Why people have a hard time understand this I just dont know.

    Only poor or growing countries have superavits. Yes, like China, which has more really really poor people than the whole population of the united states multiplied by two.

    I dont even know why I bother trying to explain...

  8. Um

    Importers import what they want to consume, exporters export what they worked to make and sell.

  11. Security software does not work. It used to be a good idea back in the day when the internet wasnt everywhere. Now the only thing that is going to work is replacing every single piece of every software in any computer for one designed for security.

    Antivirus, malware detection and even firewalls are mostly scams nowdays. IDS/IPS systems are a joke except maybe real good teams that are proficient in snort or sourcefire.

  12. Node based on Edge? on JavaScript Is Eating The World (dev.to) · · Score: 1

    What a horrible thought, really. This is Microsoft saying Yup, we would prefer to try and fail to kill any innovation in the web, as per usual. It will be for nothing. Again, again, again.

  14. Re: crimes against humanity... on Net Neutrality Goes Down in Flames as FCC Votes To Kill Title II Rules (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    I guess you are speaking about yourself? The common carrier rules are there to prevent the owner of the pipe from extorting the provider of goods and services that use or are enhanced by communication. If that rule was not in place, a telecom could have blocked or extra-charged a pizza place over another, thus leveraging its natural monopoly onto unrelated markets.

    This is the exact same case between content creators and last mile owners and that is precisely what will happen from now on. They are creating a concentrated, protected market, and incentivising oligopolic pricing on the part of the utility last-mile owners who want to grow at the expense of content creators.

    Now grow some balls and explain what do you mean by "internet transit". ATT has a fuckload of customers and controls whatever comes in or out of its net at will.

  22. Man... oh man.... on Researchers Bypass ASLR Protection On Intel Haswell CPUs (softpedia.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I've been a true blue IT pro foss loonix guy for most of the last 16 years. And every year. Nay. Every 6-10 months some hardware designed to "thwart" crackers, and other crypto attackers goes the way of the dodo.

    I think the industry looks at security the wrong way and the lulzsec guys weren't wrong in that ideological rant they made. You can't predict the unpredictable. Firewalls aren't a wall in any meaningful sense. "Software defined" networks are just a catchphrase for networking complex things in a dynamic manner. Intrusion Prevention Systems do not prevent. Hell, if you let your cisco guy deploy it, it wont even log a thing and when it dies you will have no idea why.

    Bollocks, Shenanigans and costly Stupidity (don't get me started on "hardware routers" or "storage networks"). This is what I have found in my years in the battlefields, young grasshoppers. And a deeply felt wish that I had chosen archeology instead.

    No.

    What is this "virtualizing" the "interface" kerfufelisch nonesense.... no no, my friend. You are severely mistaken. Sand Boxing is NOT "about" virtualizing. Sand boxing is about isolating upper layers from lower layers. This can be achieved by virtualization or through not virtualization. How about that?

    No. Sand Boxing is not necesarily virtualisation, although any virtualization technology by definition sandboxes whatever runs on top of it (some do it very paranoically, some less so).
