Oh that's cute, you think there's a difference between the public and private sector. Did you forget you're now required to buy health insurance via government mandate from the same private sector that drove up all those prices.
I too use a password algorithm. You don't want to use letters in the site itself. You want to transform them so it's difficult to figure out the algorithm by looking at the passwords. Ideally someone would need to steal a bunch (like 8 or more) of your passwords and then spend a lot of time trying to reverse engineer them.
You can still use a password manager, just don't store the password. Store the algorithm ("First Algorithm".. "2015 Version" "Blue Algorithm"... just make sure the name does NOT relate to the output of the algorithm in any way).
I'm really surprised at the comments here. This is probably one of the largest information leaks/vulnerabilities of the past several years, and definitely the largest tech story of 2017. This is way larger than Google breaking SHA-1 (in a non-trivial way).
The HackerNews story has hundreds of comments explaining just how bad the situation is.
I wonder if this would be illegal in the US. Code is speech, at least in the case of encryption software. Then again, the MPAA is a very powerful group. Look at their pissing content with Kim Dotcom. I have a feeling the entertainment industry would try, but (hopefully) not get very far.
It's 2017. Two thousand fucking seventeen and in America, we still use checks.
In every other developed country in the world, you put down your bank and account number, possibly a TAN number if you're in an EU nation, and a persons name and you can send them money. For individuals it's always fee free, works with any bank and. appears within 24 hours (same day if same bank).
No no, Paypal is not good enough. Neither is Square. Those are closed, private companies. Every other nation has direct, person-to-person transfer, mandated by their government.
In the US, you must still print and photo a check.
Please don't lie to yourself. Had Hillary been elected, we would have seen the exact same thing.
In this particular case, it was the DC metro police that did the searching.
In the general case, Obama spent ever day of his tenure at war. The left idolization of him makes is insane considering how many people whistle blowers he went after (Manning's release was pretty much symbolic so the left thinks a little better of the democratic party), how many predator drones he launched.. the assignations with trial of US citizens, domestic spying, the NDAA and indefinite detention (something which Trump now has for free). The election mattered less than you think:
> There have been many documented cases of domestic workers losing their jobs and being replaced by these workers
Could you list them? I know of one documented case: Disney. It's actually not that common. You're not going to replace actual high skilled workers with H1-B visa holders. That's a lot of cost and not much benefit. I bet Disney will be shooting themselves later for that.
The H1-B situation is way more complex than you make it out to be:
In the case of Microsoft, they recently made a bunch of Azure people redundant to replace them with.. workers from Puerto Rico. That's right, the replaced US citizens with.. US citizens.
Yea, I mean they agreed to do the scan. I suspect they got paid for it. I'm sure the game company told them they'd have full rights, and could probably do what they want after.
I mean even if they didn't make the 3D data available, people could just dig through the game blobs and find them anyway.
Something feels off about this. I want to make it clear I hated both Hillary and Trump and think they're equally dangerous.
This won't increase the minimum wage for existing tech workers. In places like Redmond and the Bay Area, wages are already way over $100k. I don't think this will really change things for the best.
The only people who will be able to afford H1-B people are the big companies. I have a feeling this will starve the rest of the IT sector, consolidate jobs in Seattle/SF/NYC, and only allow the very large companies to even hire immigrants. This will push less qualified workers out of these high income areas and into 100k/year jobs in rural areas. Amazon/Microsoft/Google/Whoever will be able to hire the best US and on-US workers.
There have been so many other articles on here showing that there is more than enough 4G/LTE bandwith and we are no where near approaching capacity in most urban areas. This has nothing to do with being a good netizen and more to do with money.
> Maybe not. Anti-discrimination laws are allowed by the constitution.
Do you have examples? I don't feel like this is true. In Germany this happens quite often. The Jewish Anti-Defamation League often goes after people in America, but those are mostly civil suits. In Europe, even suggesting Israel is an apartheid state can land you in jail, but in America (and Australia) that's protected.
But with the torrent you can keep it, forever. You don't have to stream it every time you want to watch it. Really if everyone got that torrent, they'd save the world bandwidth.
>Shortly after the accident, Hans Blix was flown to Chernobyl. Blix would later become better known for chairing the United Nations commission responsible for disarming Iraq of its weapons of mass destruction in the run up to the 2003 war.
Wait what, the WMDs that didn't exist? The mustard gas that American sold Iraq and relabelling it as WMD? Why even include that bullshit BBC? You just want to keep that narrative going however you can?
This makes a ton of sense in NYC which is already saturated with high capacity rail systems. If you made these car share vehicles self driving and electric, you have the potential for an amazing last leg solution.
Ride sharing (zip cars, and eventually automated vehicles) will be the future, but people do need to be aware in such a future, people will most likely not "own" cars any longer. But for this to work, they can only be a last leg. Ride shares and self driving cars will NOT solve the transportation gridlock problem. Cars simply do not have the capacity of real public transit:
Printing/Cloning organs with your own tissues/DNA will probably be a reality long before realized driverless vehicles. Those would solve the wait list and the rejection issues.
Self driving tech is a lot of money being thrown at something that ultimately won't solve any of the world's transit issues in any meaningful way, because most of the issues we face today are due to capacity:
There is so much coming out about self driving cars, even through the tech is years away from mass use. We may never seen consumer owned self driving vehicles either, just due to security and safety issues. I wrote a post on this recently:
It goes into many of the hardware, software and general transportation issues with self driving cars. I don't think they'll be a reality in the near future. They're a good 6 ~ 8 years off at a minimum.

I ride the buses and train in Seattle, ever day. They're packed, every day. You have obviously never ridden one ever.
I hate the entire idea of software being illegal.

The RIAA and MAPP are very strong lobbies. Laws are different depending on the amount of money in the industry backing/opposing them.

IIRC Chernobyl was uncontained, unlike .. well all American reactors. I think there's still one uncontained reactor running in Souther America.

You should see if you can find an attack vector just over HDMI. That would totally get you a speaking slot at a security conference.
Firefox was built. Chrome was more stolen than built. They uses pieces of Webkit, pieces of Gecko and didn't release an open source version initially.
