"So in other words are we going to wait until it flies INTO Japan to do anything "
You are pretty much playing into kims hand with that attitude.
When a toddler throws a tantrum, or a troll starts a harassment campaign, what is the best response?
Ignore them. They are looking for attention, so any attention, bad attention, good attention, war attention; that is what they are seeking. So to deny them that is the ultimate defeat of this strategy. They haven't actually hurt anyone, except their own people, so let them throw stones into the sea till they are blue in the face.
There are no easy answers on this one. If someone attacks them, many will die. Waiting, there is only the possible chance that people will die. Besides the poor northerners of attrition, of course.
"I saved my daughter from a potential predator because I monitored her Internet use when she was 14."
So in exchange for busting someone chatting with your daughter to some degree that you have arbitrarily determined was "predator-ish", you violated her privacy and made her not trust you or the network ever again. Thus ensuring that any future incidents are completely out of your control and probably even awareness.
I have taught my kids to be aware, the rules, and why rules are like that and so i trust them to make good decisions online and off. Otherwise you end up holding their hand for their entire lives which is more dangerous, less sustainable and way more stressful.
I know someone with a one plus 3t and it seemed like the perfect device. I am not sure what effect disabling those applications might have, so ill wait a few days before advising her to do that. Hopefully this is big news, but sadly everyone is doing it.
If you are a smartphone user and you think google and apple don't have the complete picture of you as an individual you are dreaming! This is just the chinese not giving even the slightest fuck, while american companies still have to pretend to care about privacy somewhat.
Advertising, marketing and databases. Isn't it great what all this technology has become! A worthless extension of 20th century consumerism.
If you have been forced to spend any time with windows 10 machines, you will know that microsoft has gone out of their way to prevent setting custom defaults for file associations that stick. Doubly true when you are trying to expressly not use win10 "apps". They probably ran the numbers and saw that the biggest competitor to their new, lamer, "store" "apps" was WMP.
So they extinguished the competition. Extremely easy in this case for them.
Those in the know use media player classic, or vlc. While the masses will switch to the newer, crappier product. Not that WMP since XP was ever that great in the first place. So history repeats itself, when wmp got forked (so to speak) to mpc, it was primarily because of how extremely unstable and lacking in updates the "newer" WMP was.
"If things continue this way, there will be two societies - or at least I hope there will be two - the one you're helping create, and an alternative to it. You and your ilk will live, willingly, joyfully, under constant surveillance, watching each other always, commenting on each other, voting and liking and disliking each other, smiling and frowning, and otherwise doing nothing much else."
This is really just a fad. Giving up all your privacy isn't going to be the norm forever. People will wise up. I mean all of us were on networks before it was cool and we learned that its dangerous to give out personal info. Eventually, the normies will learn that too.
The same way they learned how to use GUI's, web browsers and even the mouse. Just takes them time because they aren't really technical so they dont get the technology and ramifications at first glance.
People will grow to fear databases as I do. I have faith in humankind.
LAPS is the solution to your problem going forward. Don't fight it, its the correct way to prevent this in the future..It creates a database of logins and rotates them regularly. Its very lightweight and easy to deploy in less than an hour.
NT password recovery is the solution to your problem now. Never met a pc that couldn't crack into.
Both tools work on windows 10 machines. I've used them both many times.
"what's the difference between this and a car with darkly tinted windows? I can't see the driver of that car, either."
Well you dont really look twice when you see darkly tinted windows, because everyone knows you cant see through them. So that right there is a different reaction than a driverless car.
On the other hand at a light, hopefully most people make eye contact with any turning drivers and such, so they dont get run down. So it would surely be an effective test if people noticed it in the situations where they would normally. I mean thats the point im sure. They did put a giant flashing light bar "positioned roughly where a driverâ(TM)s eye line would be, to try to catch the attention of those around it who would look in its direction."
"If it were legal, people would react differently (like, probably, fewer of them would call the cops)."
Unless its been on TV, no one knows whats legal and whats not. Especially with weird new technology. So you are assuming a lot there. More likely they would video it and upload it to be some kind of superstar, which is this generations "thing".
/s Subject is a joke obviously, TLDR, just be happy its getting normalized enough to have these sorts of conversations.
Well I am of the opinion that they can make some stupid rules at the beginning, especially by some "standards body" that is probably answerable to government in the end. The important thing is that its legalized, the finer points will be worked out in time.
Liquor not being sold on a sunday was a thing for a long time, and then society changed and it was fine. The important thing is users get a good constant quality supply, and don't have to worry about fentanyl lacing or the dangers of buying on the street from basically, gangsters.
We are going through the same growing pains in canada as well, such as the province of ontario saying that weed sales will be a government monopoly. But since the feds left it up to the individual provinces to decide how it will be sold, and various laws around it, people will see what works and what doesn't. Our elected representatives will tweak laws accordingly based on the will of the people.
I have faith in the system because i know how harmless of a drug marijuana really is. Banning say, bike couriers from delivering weed is doomed to fail.
All the marijuana protesters have graduated into "lobbyists" the day after its legal. Now they can even get paid to bitch at the government!
The opposing team just needs to up their game and hack their apple accounts, or nearby wifi or cel towers. Maybe someone has a jammer installed in their mound. Then countermeasures for those countermeasures...
"Millennials , the generation more out of touch with the past faster than any previous generation in existence."
Well i think your wrong, because older people are the ones who assume that there will be maps and payphones. Melenials barely have a concept of those things so why would they expect them to be there and then be shocked when they aren't. Trust me, i have been in the same boat. Generally if you head to the tourist district of whatever town you are in, or an information kiosk, you can find ample maps. But i have tried to buy yellow road atlas maps, that were ubiquitous at gas stations, and also been told to go to walmart:(. I got the feeling that they no longer exist and always bring one from home now a days.
The cel phone, in a few short years, has made entire products disappear. So it is shocking somewhat. I have a feeling, most people being cel phone users, that this has gone mostly unnoticed by mainstream society. But these are daily annoyances for those without phones.
Payphones cost 50 cents now! for instance. Shocking to me when i finally found one.

Sophos supposedly has technology (intercept X) that can heuristically determine when an encryption event is going down and should automatically block it. It works by looking for files being rapidly encrypted and immediately stops it and i believe tries to roll back the changes so that less than 1% is actually encrypted.
For us, the virus scanner has caught a few ransomware viruses before they made it that far, so we have yet to test that. But its a well advertised feature of their product line.
The fact that they have near daily updates (Basically every time i turn on filezilla, there is a new client), I am extremely surprised that they wouldn't handle feature requests promptly. What the hell are all the damn updates for then?? NO software can be THAT buggy!
But back in the day, I do remember them implementing a suggestion I pushed for which was the addition of autoban. So I considered them quite responsive.
And for saying "filezilla is DYING!" that hasnt been my experience. I thought it was considered the de-facto standard because: 1) they offer a client on virtually every platform and 2) its the ftp client that ninite installs. Most people who arent using filezilla, are using browser based FTP and locking out their accounts with unstandard behaviour. So i like being able to tell literally anyone, to just go to one website to get a great free ftp client.
I personally don't save passwords in an ftp client in the first place. Perhaps that was why it was not a popular suggestion. The people who are concerned with security enough to know what a master password would do, and yet still want to store their passwords inside the program instead of in their head or document, has got to be a small group. I know its envogue for password managers now and maybe thats why he implemented it.
This is really just a positive story for open source software in general. You can have a program constantly maintained for so long that it can accumulate 10 year old feature requests that ACTUALLY GET IMPLEMENTED! hooray!
"why would the home invader shoot the wife dead but only tie the husband up"
Perhaps the first death was an accident. People don't exactly behave cool headed and rational in these sorts of situations. Anything could have happened. The wife stepped up and got killed, the husband cowered in a corner. The killer realized what he did and didn't want to be in jail for the rest of his life. The killer hated women, or recognized her and knew she could ID him. Who knows. Thats why we have courts and rule of law. 'It wasn''t me, it was the one armed man' and all that.
devils advocate: If you live in a paradise and have the option of going to the beach every day, i'm sure that eventually, you will get bored with that beach. If these people are bored, even for a few days a year, doesn't make them ungrateful for what they have.
These gamers could be going to the beach 200 days a year and still have the above problems with latency for the remaining 150. Sure its "paradise problems" for most of us, and easy to ridicule, but i'm sure that wherever you live has activities that you don't do every day (skiing, hiking, going to broadway shows, swimming, etc) that are great for a few days a year, or even a few months, but not all days and all months.
Everyone needs some downtime, even paradise dwellers.
Why do people think of nuclear power as "clean" power? The waste lasts for hundreds of thousands of years, far longer than any co2 we produce. Its the same human mentality that got us into this mess, externalities not being considered for an immediate gain in the moment. (in this case possibly dumping waste on hundreds of generations into the future)
Zero waste is solar, tidal, geothermal, wind and water. The only way forward. Nuclear was a horrible mis-step by humanity and the problems will be easily visible to all in one hundred years. Especially if we have zero waste fusion developed in the next century. All your arguments will seem rather quaint, i hope.

What are the odds that the one famous person who knows c+ did this, and the other millions of smart non famous programmers, didn't.
I know we love our celebrities but come on. Besides hes got an ego the size of the moon. There is no way he is not bragging about inventing bitcoin.

You are constrained by your circumstances only as much as you are willing to go out on a limb and risk failing.

Well that's interesting to think about. Depends on who you ask though. And depends on how good a movie it is. And obviously the quality.
It wouldn't be the first time movies have been leaked. Nothing to see here really.
