I agree with this approach, the weakest link in this would be the opening that's necessary to get to your management access point. By using a VLAN you've eliminated most of the traditional access/compromise points. The real trick is to keep the configuration up to date.
I've toyed with the idea of setting up a console service that I can access externally, which would be the only allowed path to pull the web gui that most of these devices support. It would allow me to access the "remote" features, but not allow the simple device to be internet snoop-able. This would simplify my security to only needing to harden a single device.
I agree that packet filtered bi-directional proxy is the only "safe" access that simple devices deserve when allowed to venture outside the safety of their VLAN. Unfortunately it does become a one-off exercise to keep each device configuration current.
I was thinking an old 10 penny nail and some copper winding connected to a couple radio shack solar cells would be magnetic enough.
I don't think you understood my point about adding water... Digging it up wouldn't change the mass of the planet... Adding the equivalent of the current planetary mass should be just about right. (hence the reference to needing a God like being? If we could somehow borrow one of the ice moons presently orbiting our gas giants it would be a start)
Almost fully agree with you. (your reference about links excludes knowledge of cache data provided by Time Machine)
We just appear to have problems with conceding jurisdiction as frequently as we claim it. There is a reason why the US has never agreed to fully support the ICC, the 1% who benefit from the immunity, and layered delays to prosecution will never be held accountable.
How long (based on treaties, international law, etc.. ) do cases like "megaupload.com" take to wind through the courts?
"Google search results don't "take information", they merely link to a source in whatever country the information resides in."
Isn't that what "time machine" does? It makes a copy of information and keeps it along with the original url. I just read an opinion where "time machine" cache information would be admissible as evidence in a wide variety of situations.
I have no problem with High temps or Low temps... it's just data... math applied to data appears to scare people... (and we aren't doing statistics here)
When math is used to compute an average, and we look at that average over time, and the average over time increases every year....
I don't know what else to call it. I can't help it if our measurement units, number of collection locations, frequency of collection, and distribution of results is too fast for people to spin a counter story. I believe the undeniable solution would be to start a pari mutuel betting pool, and have people automatically bet a portion of their wages each week on the predicted change in temperature "races" the nature of this wagering is that the "favorite to win" will approach a 1:1 odds, and long shot picks will pay more, but the consensus is that it's unlikely to happen.
If it was your bet (and you have historic data to help you decide) would you bet that the next global "average" temperature recorded for a month would decrease / stay the same / increase? (laughing to myself because risk managers at major insurance companies already play this game)
I'm tempted to spin off a side business. "rule41.com"
It appears that we do have some constitutional protections from prosecutorial overreach, but that will be circumvented come December 1st. I have to agree with other posters that the technical prowess of the people writing our laws is juvenile at best, but it's the framework approach of our legislative system that allows 99.9% interpretation when things are enacted.
If Alphabet wins.. they are saying that "information" taken from one nation and stored in another deserves no protection once outside it's boarders.
Assange couldn't be prosecuted if this prevails (yes, I know that it's only a secret grand jury at the moment) because https://wikileaks.com/ is physically outside of the US and US laws don't apply? In that case wikileaks would only need to install a region filter to demonstrate "token" compliance. Now, if he was somehow kidnapped and found himself on US soil he would be in trouble.
Lets hope in this case the mega corporation wins... which could be a limited victory for everybody.
1. Need an earthlike magnetic field. This would be the hard part. HUGE energy requirements, but without a magnetic field the gravity is insufficient to hold an atmosphere. (we lucked out with our built in field generator on earth)
2. Need H2O... Enough water on a planetary body with a magnetic field to retain any water vapor, along with planetary rotation and energy from the sun will start the climate cycle. The amount of water added will need to be equal to the current mass. (but, hey we almost double the gravity in the process) I would recommend dirty water (maybe 3% Organic (carbon containing) compounds)
3. Simmer for several thousand years... adjust atmosphere to taste....
Next time I run into a God like being... I'll see what they can come up with...
The eventual problem would be that the counties/cities/towns/etc... will not have any revenue stream from traffic tickets. If you are not driving, how will the state extort money for drivers licenses and insurance? (or cancel your license for not paying some arbitrary fee/fine/etc..) What will happen to traffic schools and ambulance chasers?
Thanks, my cognitive dissonance was getting in the way when I first read the article. If they are asking for mutually exclusive components are they really asking for anything? Or, is this a fishing trip to see if they can get a new perspective on something?
I don't know the Judge who issued this ruling, but I would question his intent in this ruling. All case law that I could find of comparable value avoid (because of 1st and 14th amendment considerations any question of Belief) Actually the US Supreme Court has never issued a ruling about what constitutes a religion.
There are numerous rulings about Practices centered around religion. Basically saying that you can Believe what you want, but Practices that would be otherwise illegal can be addressed in statute or judicially. Like defying a court order, or discrimination by practice because of your "firmly held beliefs". There is a couple hundred years of case law and constitutional interpretations that unequivocally support Belief (almost without condition) and at the same time a growing volume of decisions that skewer Practices in deference to that same 14th amendment. You've got to love "equal protection under the law"
Fascinating reading on the Subject, (it's a rainy day here at the beach)
Good Point... I helped a Lawyer friend upgrade his systems. He didn't want an in-house IT person, so I strongly recommended the cloud based solution. One of his practice partners had too much regulated and sensitive data to move to the cloud (I warned them about the common practice of cloud vendors with their contracts which absolve the cloud vendor of nearly all accountability...) That contract had so many red lines by the time they were done it was funny.
The era of "low information voter" , "low information consumer", "low information anybody" is really at an end. The only people who aren't informed are those who don't have the desire to know.
When any government entity tries to bullshit their way on almost any subject the "internet" community will quickly point out the inconsistent nature of their ways. Really, didn't the lawyers think they would be fact checked? Our government has been less than trustworthy on many subjects and they continue to dig their hole deeper... The famous quote " If you find yourself in a hole, STOP DIGGING" comes to mind.
Why not bury a plasma conduit cooled by liquid hydrogen? It could be the long haul main and it would have the nice side effect of providing hydrogen for fuel cells.
My only issue is the excessive use of 3D specific scenes.. If a movie is being shot for multiple formats, it's a waste of time for us NON-3D viewers to watch something that was really cool in 3D on the flat screen. I bet a good 15 minutes of a multi format feature can be eliminated to the cutting room floor for us folk that watch in two dimensions..
I'm a fan of special effects, but don't burden the story just because you can wow somebody with make believe cinematography.
It will come down to the point where network vendors will need to spend more of their time verifying their code hasn't been tampered with. It wont be enough just to have change control, but we will need to have change locking and verification. Exploits come from many directions, but is it worth the cost to fight both internal and external agents.
This compromise hits the bottom line directly. It will effect purchase decisions, just like having Cisco products intercepted and tampered with by the NSA effected their sales. I guess it's now a matter of who do we want listening in... (State actors...US, China, etc, Corporate actors... Google, Apple, Dell, or Network Providers... Verizon, AT&T , Level 3, Comcast...) Unfortunately it's never just one party attempting to listen in, or glom on....
Unfortunately most "state of the art" storage systems have compression and de-duplication based compression enabled by default. So, if you want the storage system to use it's cpu and cache memory efficiently you need to store simple files (clear text or equiv). 5:1 or better compression is easy for just about any storage vendor. JBOD storage has no issues storing previously compressed/encrypted data, because it doesn't attempt to enhance the operations.
Simplistically: 1. Compression removes common or repeating symbols and replaces each occurrence with a symbol in a table. (hopefully reducing the size)
2. Encryption may add (SALT) data to the stream, before using an algorithm and key to obscure contents ( likely increasing size, and eliminating any repeating symbols)
So if you Compress and Encrypt a stream before attempting to store it on a device that is also attempting to compress and encrypt before storing you will mostly eliminate any performance or storage (size reduction) gains. I observed a best of 1.06 : 1 compression ratio (and horrible performance) when attempting to store previously encrypted data.
I wonder why the other issue about encryption has not been raised....drum roll please....
Encrypted information takes up more storage space, and actually can cripple most storage systems because it does not "de-duplicate" . I just finished a project where we "unencrypted" a 20+ TB database because the new storage system we purchased couldn't just store the data as is.

My first thought exactly!

It may be a dystopian future for us all.

Wow! That would be very similar results to what has been demonstrated with a Vegan diet.
I'll take a shot, a ribeye steak, and skip the vegetables. (and still look young)

I agree that this is posturing for a likely "decline to prosecute", just the beginning of the spin cycle.
Equal prosecution under the law isn't in the constitution. (but, maybe it should be)
