yep typical politicians piling one poorly thought out policy on top of another, with Tesla their to cash in on the bad decisions. Not that I blame Tesla for that, if government is stupid enough to give away money you may as well put your hand out.
sooo let me get this right, to save a few dollars on power, they spent a shitload on powerwalls that will never pay for themselves? or did Tesla give them a special deal so that they aren't economically unviable
you have an opportunity to steal an unlimited amount quickly.... and you choose 20 trillion dollars. He made the leap to being a thief, FFS use half a brain cell and try something you can get away with like a few million then transfer immediately. he may have had a chance to get away with that. Just a complete moron.
ITs not a choice of trusting one or the Other. Intel already has the information, the choice is whether or not you would ALSO trust the US Gov with that information. For me that is a big fat fuck know. They almost certainly would have either Leaked it/shared it/abused it
nothing is free. What you probably meant is college should be funded by working individuals through tax. Personally fuck that, college should be funded by those that utilise it, perhaps through extra tax post graduation but still by those utilising the system. Many should be being steered away from college to a trade school.
Microsoft's search engine is actually pretty good and in many scenario's it is better than google. basically you can use either without issue, everyone associates google with search though so you get the automatic bias of choosing them.
Earth develops the warp engine and can travel 10,000 times the speed of light. A planet is discovered containing extra terrestrials with technology as advanced as the Native Americans were in the 1700s. How do you think the people of Earth would treat them? If the alein planet were found to be rich in a valuable natural resource, do you think this would change Earth's reaction?
If we have a warp engine then valuable resources are abundant without having to affect any civilization. Earth based conflict is inherently because of the limited resources we have, those limits disappear with interstellar travel so their would be no reason to treat them any different.
I think he left off half that statement. what he should have said is "company could "turn the knobs" to be profitable if it wanted to just we would then be out of business 6 months later". I don't believe at this current juncture that they can be profitable AND survive and this I suspect is more the reason why they have not turned that knob as they are still trying to figure out how the fuck they can turn a profit while not destroying the business.
The reality is if you have a good business that is profitable you will easily be able to handle cash flow through finance arrangements. My parents before they retired had a very healthy profitable business but the seasonal nature and large upfront investment meant it had extremely poor cash flow, but as it was profit they had no issues with maintaining a 200k overdraft account. IF your business is profitable and healthy you won't have issues handling cash flow.
The problem is they ARE NOT in the mindset. They simply know what to say on a survey or think they are really in the mindset. In actuality while they care about security it simply is not as important as having an easy to remember password or being able to access that phone faster to get to their urgent game/tweet/facebook post. I would truly love people to actually get it and would celebrate if they did but I work in security every day and I see people even in IT and security that don't get it. convenience is just more important to them up until something goes wrong.
facebook bugs the shit out of me too, but Amazon I don't buy from them or use any service from them, I vote with my wallet when I see a company that uses business tactics that I believe are not in my long term interests. Feel free fawn all over them, I am sure you think you are cool, personally I don't give a shit whether I am.
yep, if you are flying somewhere for a few days it is quite possible you will pay more for parking than the plane ticket. drive up rates are now $60+ a day. Even small cities like Canberra have parking rates at the airport that are more expensive than parking in the city and that is BEFORE you take into account all the extra fees you get hit with on your ticket.
while I don't like Amazon and I doubt I would work for them either, BUT this sort of practise is the sign of a healthy business not bad one. The worst type of company to work for is one that doesn't get rid of the dead wood.
Government is a completely different rotting barrel of fish. With government they just hire more staff to do the work that the incompetents can't do while keeping them employed as unions can't possibly accept a public servant as being sacked for being useless.
complete and utter bullshit. They will happily say that in a survey but when push comes to shove the majority choose convenience over security. this applies to passwords, device configurations and just about any aspect where their is an option that allows convenience.
china already puts whatever satelites and covert monitoring stations it wants in space. if they are willing to pay for one more what the fuck would it matter? you act like this is somehow outside their current capabilities.
A CEO is responsible for the actions of his staff (within reason), he has to set the standards, policy and culture for his directs to follow and down the chain. CEO's are paid their obscene salaries as they are expected to be personally responsible and direct the company in all aspects. The idea that a blank password for a root account can happen is a direct failing of security education for staff or enforcement of security reviews which ultimately is his responsibility and I am sure if you asked him he would also say he is accountable for that failing and will have directed his reports to review and rectify the situation.
is that honestly a serious comment? you think they intentionally allowed an app to record information of other apps while running in a sandbox? So basically you are saying apple did this on purpose and rather than an oversight it was a malicious action on their part to allow covert data exfiltration and spying?
how does sea level rise at twice the global average? I am no ocean or water flow expert so happy for someone to explain it to me, but surely the ocean depth, especially in non isolated areas like Tuvalu would have a consistent sea level with the rest of the pacific?
when you grow up and move out of home from mummy and daddy you will learn no one gives a shit about your infantile whining, FYI, My watches are a Tag and a Breitling, by comparison your ijunk is a cheap plastic toy.
Do you sleep with your analog watch on every night?
YES!
Does it take any more time to put your watch on a decent inductive charger than it does to put it into a winding box, or just set it on the night stand?
yes it does and requires me to remember in the morning to grab it before running out the door, it also won't charge when camping, can't be taken into security rooms and requires me to cart a charger around with me when travelling

Are you sure? They've explicitly mentioned that classes of apps won't work at all, not that they'd need a recompile.
That is just the usual Slashdot shithole editors. selectively quoting, even the article clearly states they just need a recompile.
The windows Kernel is actually their strongest feature, it is a well designed kernel. What sucks is the shit stacked on top of the Kernel.

if you can't afford to pay interest to shore up your cash flow then it WASN'T a healthy or particularly profitable business to begin with.
