Indian software engineers and their "executives" are all terrible. Anytime you have an Indian who finds himself in some sort of executive role, you will have a front row seat to watching half or more of your native country men become unemployed and the amount of "needfulls" working on your project grow exponentially.
By combining a physical token, even a cellphone, you get far more security then depending on something that is most likely written down.
So, you enable two-factor where you get an SMS, or add your mobile number to facebook / google, then you drop your mobile phone, which doesnt have a pin for the simcard. Someone finds the phone, takes the sim out, figures out the number, does a password reset in facebook / google using only the mobile number, and now basically owns you because they have access to your gmail / facebook accounts, and can password reset pretty much every account you have. Any SMS based 2-factor is also toast.
Security is always just as good as the weakest link, and two-factor is no magic bullet for password issues...
This is unlikely to be a deliberate backdoor, it's much more likely the result of a mistake. However, if you aren't going to buy anything that has had a remote code exec vuln, you should probably consider using pen and paper, exclusively!
What exactly is the story here? Companies, all of them put together, are paying millions for everything, I'm pretty sure the water bill from flushing after taking dumps is in the millions, and it wouldn't surprise me if Google spends $3 million on food every month.
Okay. Let's compare with historical rape stats of Sweden then.
Oh, 87% increase in reported rapes over the last 5 years (SCI, Nov. 2016). Cool. Big fucking mystery why!
It's not a mystery, it's been reported time and time again, the definition of rape changed, but more importantly, each count of rape started to count as an individual offense, so in a marriage, there could be 100s of rapes happening between the same two people. This is what you were referring to right?
You may not like their religion or political system, but "Saudi Arabia" is not an insult. The world is a mosaic, pal.
Was never meant as an insult but rather to point out differences, as I don't think everything possible is being done in Saudi to get women to report rape, and since most things considered rape in Sweden aren't even crimes in Saudi, it wouldn't matter anyway.
Sweden is extreme in the other direction, which results in high rape stats, but this is a good thing imho (that they are being reported and that the laws are the way they are).
You are right, so to reduce the rape stats, we should look at the countries with the lowest amount of rapes per capita, and learn from them. The bottom three are Saudi Arabia, India and Egypt.
Sweden's high stats are because everything counts as rape, even things that in some countries aren't even crimes. Also, if the act is repeated, then it's counted twice. There have been cases where the same person (often in couples or married) where charged with 50 counts of rape. Finally, in Sweden, everything possible is done to make sure rapes are reported.
You are right in everything you say, however, you are not calculating lifetime value. Once everything is in place, Superchargers = profit for tesla, they will be selling cars with a ton of tech you have to pay to unlock, so autopilot = profit (assuming you didn't unlock all when buying the car). For the foreseeable future, service must be done by tesla, so more profit. How much does Ford make after selling the car? In 10 years, tesla will be making bigger profits than Ford.
That, Mr Anonymous Coward, is not true, just like a whole bunch of other stuff you keep posting.
You can live without Internet access, just like you can live without being connected to the electrical grid, it's just not very practical, or doable, for a lot of people.
But does it really? What benefit do curved monitors give? I was told "the whole the screen is more evenly at the same distance from your eyes". But what I heard was "the screen is laid out in an unexpected and distorted way that screws with your brain".
It absolutely makes sense. I bought one for my home-office (35" curved) and I always work in multiple windows simultaneously. The curved monitor has made this so much easier, I don't have to turn my head and feel I'm getting a better overview on the curved monitor.
I can easily compare to the monitor in my office-office, which is a 32" flat monitor, I notice that I am not utilizing the full space of the monitor, and am turning my head a lot more.
Obviously not a major thing, but I am appreciating the curved monitor, and wouldn't go back. As a TV on the other hand, I'd never get a curved screen.
Are you sure about that? You can definitely pin certificates in iOS. The trustkit library provides an implementation, for example.
Yes, but then the story is going to be "76 apps vulnerable to SSL interception if running jailbreakable versions of iOS", because the attacker can trick the user into jailbreaking their device, installing SSLKillSwitch https://github.com/iSECPartner... before tricking them into installing and trusting a new cert. I find this scenario about as likely as the "install a fake cert and trust it, then please re-direct all your traffic to my nice little mitm proxy" scenario.
76 apps missing cert pinning, how is that a story? So the attack is this then:
1) Find user with non-certpinning app installed
2) Trick user into installing a cert
3) Trick the user into trusting the newly installed cert
4) Modify the network settings on the users device to re-direct traffic via mitm proxy, or attack network such that traffic is re-directed via mitm proxy.
5) How is this a story worth posting?
I have no problems using apps without certpinning, any successfully attack requires, at the very least, two stupid decisions on part of the user.
Also, not using certpinning != vulnerability.
all those big wig IT executives that want to open the floodgates for refugees open their homes and guest houses to refugees
Not a chance. They'll do what the elitist pricks in France and Italy did while cheering on the "migrants" and so on. Cheer, cheer, cheer while they're flooding in and the average person gets fucked. Then when they show up on their door step, scream "help me police and government, you're our only hope." And build a wall or two while they're at it.
They aren't asking for refugees to be let in, they are saying that a blanket ban, like the one Trump is trying to implement, to stop _anyone_ from those countries from entering the US, for _any_ reason, is hurting them.
They do business in those countries, they need to sell their products there, and be able to support them, have teams there for the local markets, and now none of them can get to the US and be trained, they cant come for conferences, they cant assist in projects and so on... not to mention the negative image this gives US companies in not only the banned countries, but also in many others.
If you are from Iran, do really good research, then should you not be able to present that research in a conference, even if its in the US?
Its sad to see the comments on/. these days, it used to be a good forum, but as soon as Trump / foreigners etc are mentioned in a story, the anti-H1B movement comes rushing in, and floods all comments to the point that its depressing to read them.
I simply don't get how you can move from "cannot get our staff from abroad here for training and conferences" to "they should let refugees sleep in their homes".
Oh yeah, because Microsoft, Apple, Facebook etc. are doing this because they *CARE*, not because Trump is about to take away their cheap slave-labor pool and make them hire American workers.
They are doing this because they sell products in those countries, so they have staff there that needs to come to the US for training, which Trump is effectively stopping. Furthermore, they need to be able to develop products that fit that marketplace, which requires people with specific business skills from those countries, especially when looking at things such as licensing, pricing, marketing, legislation, HR and so on...
You can create a massive list of reasons how this does in fact hurt them, most of which would hold up in court, but the anti-H1B/.-movement in strong, and now that we have alternative facts and decisions based on feelings and opinions rather then facts, I guess such a list would be quite worthless.
I always find this funny that so many studies say "The Arctic is warming and there should be no more ice cap by 2050". I remember some US scientists said there would be no ice in the Arctic by 2013, and look at this graph. The arctic ice cap is currently a little over 13 million square km.
Yes, it may be shrinking a little, but the sampling period is extremely short, compared to our planet's age. This can or cannot be caused by humans. But hey, anyway humans won't survive Earth, which is scheduled to disappear anyway in the next 5 billion years... Unless we disseminate elsewhere in our universe, we're doomed.
You are not taking into account any changes between then and now, but even worse, you have no data on the depth of the ice, only on the area. The square kilometers says nothing about the volume, this however, does: https://nsidc.org/cryosphere/q...
Just because one model (and your BBC article was about ONE model which contradicted other model) didn't accurately predict when all the ice will be gone, doesn't mean that you should throw all models in the bin. Right now, most models say that the ice will be mostly gone somewhere between 2040 - 2100.
This was the result of an "investigation" asked for by the goverment, and the reason for treating large-scale copyright infringement more harshly is because the rules in Sweden mean that the police are very limited in what they can do, if they crime in question cannot end with a prison sentence of minimum 2 years. Combined with that, the recent case against "Swefilmer" shows that they made euro 1 400 000 from advertisement, so they goverment feels that slapping a fine on an operation such as swefilmer is not sufficient.
Not sure if this is the right approach, but I don't disagree with harsh punishment for people that turn pirating into business.
Doesn't Sweden have bigger problems, like Muslim rape gangs making it the rape capital of the world?
No, but Sweden does have a very broad definition of rape, things that in many countries wouldn't even be considered illegal, are considered rape in Sweden. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Anyways, why bother with facts when you can use #alternativefacts, the latter doesn't even require any references.
The easiest solution is not to set any particular price, but have companies bid for available visas which will naturally drive up the price. Eventually it gets to a point where it's only worth it to hire an H1-B visa candidate if you really can't find any local talent and are more than willing to pay top dollar.
Education and Healthcare bidding _directly_ against major tech companies for talent... ideas here are getting just better and better...
George Soros is a jew born in Hungary in 1930, and a holocaust survivor. Perhaps you should listen to him, he has experienced Trump before, albeit he was short, German and had a different name.
Going directly to Trump is a great idea, as soon as he allows that communication to be 2-way, we are set... Or do you think that one-way communication from trump with no possibility to question him is a good idea?

One of the monkey island games on the Amiga had something similar, the cracked version did not.
awesome, now there is a french military victory.

It wasn't a joke, it was alternative facts!
You are right, the money has to come from somewhere, maybe the same place the the loan on housing comes from.
Ever since Bretton Woods was abandoned, money is created out of thin air constantly!
