He's not an American, but it's ok when he posts BS after BS post about American politics (with the intent to influence US politics or elections, I suppose) because he's not Russian and he's doing it for free.

Automatic weapons haven't previously been used for crime in the US since the 1930's, which is an interesting bit of trivia. They have more recently been used in Europe, which is also an interesting bit of trivia. You, or another AC, expressed disbelief about this ("I myself as an European would like to see your sources as I can't trace these insane amounts of automatic gun use."). Do try to keep up.
Maryland has a higher homicide rate than 48 other states and double the average homicide rate of the entire US. It just happens to have the same overall density as Germany. The two more violent states have 1/10 the population density of Germany and 1/2 to 1/4 the population density of New Hampshire. The states that have a higher population density than Maryland have a small fraction of the homicide rates.
Finland and Sweden have higher homicide rates than New Hampshire, despite having half or less the population density. That's not even getting to Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, with similar rates as the whole US and much lower densities.
There are certainly cultural differences in the US that lead to higher homicide rates but they are not homogenous or directly correlated with state population density.
What you're describing was Selective Availability and is no longer in use. What the GP was describing is the P(Y)-code, which is an encrypted PRN. All of this information is readily available these days and there's no need to rely on impressions.
TFS says that most of the smuggled cell phones are just used to circumvent the expensive prison landlines, which means that any attempt at finding, removing, or monitoring smuggled phones will have to deal with all of that benign chaff.
Just allowing the prisoners to talk to their families and girlfriends for a reasonable cost would mean that most of the phones smuggled in would be the ones used to commit crimes. Finding, removing, or monitoring their use now becomes both a worthwhile and a more manageable task.
If you start out with the implication that "take XXX days to level all systems to a known updated state" is an "unnecessary solution", then we all have a better idea of why the state of the industry is such a clusterfuck.
Yeah, sorry, but that's not what they are arguing for, mostly because they are totalitarians masquerading as anarchists.
Oh, I totally agree with you there. They're anarchists in the '80s punk rock sense, which is just to use it as an excuse to break things. Most people seem to be pretty authoritarian and most governments seem to reflect that fact.
Yes, anarchists that want free health care and college.
Which is not the oxymoron that you think it is.
Anarcho-syndicalism, anarcho-communism, and many forms of collectivist anarchy could cover that function nicely. You're just so accustomed to everything being 'provided by' an overarching government that you can't fathom any other system. (These other systems may fail for whatever reason, but our current solution isn't the only feasible one.)
True, but the URI for the missing intermediate certificate is included in the "CA Issuers ( 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.2 )" field. It's not ideal, but it's not worth refusing to connect over. If downloading the intermediate from that URI failed, the chain should definitely be considered broken.
That's a two pound dongle that plugs into the RCA jacks. Self powered, it uses two 'C' cells and has a battery life of 45 minutes.
That's way too user friendly. It has to use an odd number of obscure batteries: Three C cells, one 6V lantern battery, or a stack of 15 coin cells. A different model for each battery type and each one costs $49.
Your scenario hints more at the incompetence of the browser than GeoTrust, in this case (not surprisingly, I'm only seeing this with Firefox). The root CA is self-signed and its security is not impacted by a weak hash. The rest of the chain, where the strength of the hash is important, uses SHA-256 hashes.
SHA1 is depreciated so all currently generated root CAs will use SHA2, but there is no security impact of a root CA with a SHA1 hash.
One of the points of the assignment was to understand how to work within the limitations of practical work.
Was that a specifically communicated point of the assignment or just something that he tacked on when you complained? It sounds like he was just punishing you for bruising his ego. I've been in the same situation that you were in...
Part of teaching somebody how to work within limitations is to use actual limitations. Rewriting his code was obviously not an actual limitation, because you did it, so if he wanted it to be limiting he should have specified that. These some years later, it's clear what the limitations are and you I hope that don't fire people for not working within limitations that you never communicated to them.
Now that we know happy music makes people more productive, how will this get incorporated into the open office? I'm assuming my looping Journey "Don't Stop Believing" over and over.
That's not a real "change in status" because "undocumented immigrant" is just a feel-good euphemism for "illegal immigrant". Being here without proper documentation is being here illegally. Just like in every other country in the world.
You're right that these are a waste of money... but soda and (crappy) beer are remarkably cheap are hypothetically the only indulgences left in this guy's life. Switching to tap water will save him a couple hundred dollars a year (0.5% of his two minimum wage full time jobs), not really improving his financial situation, while significantly diminishing his quality of life.
Our current political situation is largely due to your sort of thinking, where people living in the relative lap of luxury are telling the working poor to give up every remaining shred of luxury, which doesn't actually lead to any improvement to their lot in life, in order to appease their out-of-touch and hypocritical sense of "ethics".
...AFTER being filtered by two different levels before I even see them.
Likely, your filtering system doesn't work. I've been on both sides of this and the number of really good resumes that don't make it through the horrible abortion that is HR is astounding. Bullshit seems to flow freely through them, but they do not know how to recognize a candidate that would be a great fit for a technical position because they fundamentally don't understand what technical people do.
Someone else here had previously pointed out that they all went to party schools and majored in socialization. The best they can do at evaluating technical resumes is word-for-word typo-for-typo term matching.
I think his point was that Google is just as creepy as Facebook. Interacting with either of them on a voluntary basis is a questionable decision, but regularly interacting with one of them while avoiding the other because it's creepy is just silly.

By homicide rates alone (who gives a shit about 'gun violence' in particular), you are nearly 1.6 times as likely to be a victim of homicide in the US as compared to Europe (3.0 to 4.9 / 100000).

I was wildly productive and now I have nothing else to do for the rest of the week...
Which was really a pretty sketchy motto to begin with. Who has to remind themselves not to be evil so much that it becomes a motto?
He covered that: "Google is only useful to people who make themselves dependant on them for some reason."

Speedtest.net should take advantage of this and set up a VPN service that looks like a bunch of speed tests!
Higher service uptime, actually get your advertised bandwidth, run multiple tunnels for even higher bandwidth. Easy sell.

Or the idiot hiring manager lives in the quaint, archaic, magical land where Skype and email don't exist and coding must be done on-site
If the job can be done off-site, then it is going to be done in Mumbai, not Muncie.
That's been tried so many times... but keep expecting better results.
If you'd hire somebody to move from Muncie to San Jose, why would they be suddenly unacceptable if they wanted to stay in Muncie?
