too many of our servers, desktops, and laptops will no longer boot after installing Meltdown/Spectre fixes. The usual symptom is that they show the Windows loading screen then a blank screen.
I do think that's part of it, but a friend that works for Univ of Washington School of Medicine looked into it for me, and she said there's no evidence of that since there weren't any studies investigating that. I guess since you can't patent B12 there's no financial incentive to do so. IIRC my levels were 5 picograms per milliliter and normal was about 450. I know my level since at work we paid to have tests done for all of the developers. The Indian guys that are vegans.were all very low too, but not nearly as bad as mine. I've been taking B12 since, but I don't know if it has helped since I haven't spent the money to have another blood test done.
I do know that while I still can't sleep most nights due to pain, I haven't had an ulcer burst since.
If people take these risks voluntarily, human gene therapy can make rapid progress...
Correct. That's why I think this guy is a hero like Barry J. Marshall that drank a culture of organisms extracted from a person with a stomach ulcer and five days later developed an inflation of the lining of his stomach which all but proved ulcers are usually caused by H. pylori. He received a Nobel Prize for that! Doctors for decades stood against that theory since it would take one of their key excuses to push their judgmental beliefs that ulcers were caused by things like not enough exercise, eating too much, and drinking too much alcohol.
The sad thing is that even when I went to the ER after vomiting blood due to what was apparently an ulcer that burst, the doctor I saw spent more time ranting about how prohibition had ended than treating me.
My second job is working for a guy that owns several McDonald's. The illegals he employees just don't grok food safety so I imagine Chipotle has it even worse since they don't require a basic ESL test.
I don't understand why anyone would use bcrypt. Although scrypt is newer and in terms of security, that usually means safer. scrypt requires a lot more memory which isn't a problem for their servers when comparing hashes, but it blocks FPGAs from brute force attacks.
How did his payment violate campaign finance laws? It wasn't a campaign expense. Plus, even if it was, you can legally contribute to your own campaign. It was be against the law if it was a campaign expense and someone else donated the money.
My boss bought a new Buick with that "feature." Unlike every car since I know at least the late 1930s Pontiac my parents had when I was growing up that had a starter directly connected to the engine with a gear and would engage with a solenoid, the Buick uses a huge starter connected to the serpentine belt. He even drove it up a hill to a gas station after we ran out of gas, and the start was hot to touch but wasn't that hot. The problem is that he went through three expensive serpentine belts in the two years he's had it. The belt in it now is fraying, and the Buick dealer told him they'd have to charge for a new harmonic balancer. All just to save a few seconds of gas when we stop at a red light.
Remember the good old-fashioned screw-in light bulb? They made them illegal, no matter what the technology of the bulb.
Got a source for that? I managed building out a floor of an office building as a data center in San Carlos, CA and upgrading office space we leased in San Mateo. We encountered tons of stupid rules and codes, but I didn't encounter that one. We did illegally import incandescent bulbs to use in closets and storage rooms.since they're only turned on a few seconds at a time maybe a few times a month so CFLs aren't worth the extra expense. There were so many stupid rules, but I didn't come across that one.
If only that would happen! The socialist on our city council, Kshama Sawant, has a husband that works at Microsoft so she is very anti-Internet. She supports ridiculous requirements that Comcast and CenturyLink can't meet in order to, as she sees it, hurt large corporations when in fact they mainly hurt consumers.
If the bill requires more regulations and laws for small ISPs to compete, then it's no better than Obama's last move in 2015 that destroyed several of them. For the big guys, hiring lawyers is a small relative cost but for the small ISPs that can be a killer.
"Wireless Internet Service Providers Association, which represents small fixed wireless companies that typically operate in rural America, surveyed its members and found that over 80% “incurred additional expense in complying with the Title II rules, had delayed or reduced network expansion, had delayed or reduced services and had allocated budget to comply with the rules.”
Also, the ISP we've used for over fifteen years almost went out of business after a new investor backed out because of the uncertainty of how much the new Obama rules would cost them. For one of the big ISPs, lawyers are a small cost overall, but for the small guys those costs can be crippling. For our small ISP that we rented data center space from, they were only saved because our VC agreed to pay a year upfront for us and several other start-ups they had invested in. Otherwise, they would not have been able to make payroll.
LOL, that's what we did to get access to Mentor Graphics for a circuit board layout program before we switched to Tango Pro that would run on a PC. Apollo computers were very expensive at the time. They got a little cheaper after HP bought them, but by then it was basically a dead-end platform not worth investing in.
Not an NDA, but the co-founder told me that I assume in confidence since they were having trouble making payroll. Found the old email, but the link to their newsletter no longer works I assume because they redid their web site. Either way, I remember this quote:from Pai that a friend that works for a WISP here in Seattle confirmed was true for his company here in Seattle:
"Wireless Internet Service Providers Association, which represents small fixed wireless companies that typically operate in rural America, surveyed its members and found that over 80% “incurred additional expense in complying with the Title II rules, had delayed or reduced network expansion, had delayed or reduced services and had allocated budget to comply with the rules.”
Large monopolies like Comcast can easily afford to hire more lawyers, but an ISP like the one I mentioned with eight employees and the WISP my friend worked for with about 30 employees simply can't afford to hire lawyers to "decode" all of the complex regulations.
That isn't the FCC's fault. Blame local city governments for granting monopolies like we have here in Seattle where the city council split the cable monopoly between Wave and Comcast without requiring them to offer service to their entire monopoly areas. They also don't punish Comcast for offering terrible service. In addition the socialist on our city council, Kshama Sawant, views not allowing Comcast to do repairs or upgrades as hurting corporations when in reality it just hurts consumers.
You would also probably have to fight them tooth and nail NOT to include one of their shitty router / modem combos so they can charge you an extra $10 / month for that POS.
I hate you for making me defend Comcast, but at least here in the Seattle area the routers with access points they use are very high quality. They're made by Technicolor and I think most are model TC8305C (IIRC). They're much more reliable and have a much longer range than the NetGear CM400 modem and Linksys E3000 router combo that we used to use. We pay for home Internet connections and equipment for employees, and I work for a very cheap company. We wouldn't spend the extra per month unless it was worth it. Also, if there is a problem, like Saturday before last when there were huge storms and power outages here in Seattle and three employees had modems and computers damaged, it was much easier to get an exchange on our Technicolor modems than it was dealing with NetGear's warranty.
We licensed it to test our new web site that I don't think any customers even used until a couple of years later. The site was pretty crappy since I learned HTML from viewing the source on other sites, and it took me a lot of time so that was a huge waste of money.
The small ISP we've worked with for over fifteen years supported the repeal and in their newsletter they quoted Ajit Pai as saying, "smaller Internet service providers...don’t have the time, money, or lawyers to navigate a thicket of complex rules." Several big infrastructure projects were canceled after the new, complex rules were put into place in 2015. Our ISP lost an investor because of the uncertainty of how much more the new rules would cost them. I just don't agree with him that a federal law would be less complex and have less overhead. Congress tends to make things more complicated.

Which are less secure than true vms. There's a reason companies that care about security use real vms instead.
After a passenger eats at Chipotle, the vehicle will automatically set course for the nearest hospital, ...
No. They typically only need the nearest toilet.

Can't tell if serious or trolling.
That is a tough one. This is the will of the voters, but the voters are wrong so what should be done?

for a bad job. It's better to not have a job than one that doesn't pay a living wage.
It sucks to lose your job due to new regulations, and I have twice before, but you must understand that it's for the greater good.
