This kind of hungry hustle of an attack vector really deserves to be called more than a man-in-the-middle attack. More a man-on-the-outside-looking-in.
My choice basically boils down to the stuff I reflexively type in mindlessly in temporary semi-subconscious distraction, as I unthinkingly consume one of a very limited number of news site that grabbed my mind share at one point. After that it's turtles all the way down, as I keep typing in the same urls like a laboratory crack monkey seeking its next hit from the lever. These patterns last years or decades.
First call!
Ahh.. if it feels this great to make first post on Slashdot it must be an orgasmic experience to be the first human caller to a brand new Amazon callbot.
Don't think it is a slow news day around here. Because apparently there are another 10^45 articles prepped and queued for auto-publish this morning about other critical batches of photons we've got to know about.
Seriously? You woke me up to read about seven photons from across the other side of the solar system? I generate that many damn x-rays dragging my feet across the treadmill in the morning with my damn static cling.
It does seem underpowered relative to the 4x expansion in resolution. However it makes sense from a couple perspectives... it will power virtual reality reasonably well (a PS4 in each eye), and if it is meant to play the existing base of games (with complete compatitiblity between PS4 and PS4x) then the actual number of polygons is not going to double necessarily. But you'll have some of that power going to providing sharper or better anti-aliased edges. With some enhancement of particle animations, perhaps.
Because back in the 1980s computers booted to the BASIC command line interpreter/REPL. Nowadays, there is, more or less, no such thing. Closest similar thing most non-geeks will get to is a browser console, and while that is reasonable debugging tool for pros, it's not a similarly friendly programming tool for beginners.
In fact, you practically need to be an experienced developer even to get a modern IDE up and running. Eclipse? Xcode? Not for the faint-hearted.
Not sure about hard statistics, but I'd say it's a safe bet most new developers these days need to be shown how to get going. Beyond that, they'll naturally self-teach and bootstrap themselves, or fail out early. Because at the end of the day, no matter how you learn, your practical knowledge (meaning libraries and frameworks and tools, if not entire languages) will be functionally obsolete within two years, formal CS concepts and emacs/vim godliness notwithstanding.
It's absolute nonsense. About Dailymail.co.uk, according to Wikipedia: "The Daily Mail is a British daily conservative, middle-market[2][3] tabloid newspaper owned by the Daily Mail and General Trust."
The simplest science tells us the entire premise of this article is a bunch of baloney. A gallon of gasoline produces about 20 pounds of CO2 emissions -- http://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/...
This comes simply from burning the carbon in the fuel with oxygen in the air. One carbon atom plus two oxygen atoms, simple chemistry.
The amount of "emissions" from driving 20 to 40 miles (the typical range a gallon of fuel will get you) can be measured directly -- it's how much weight the tire loses. A fraction of a gram, perhaps?
And the brakes? Some number of tens of milligrams of brake dust?
Similarly the "emissions" from the road idea is pure nonsense. If the roads "lost" a few hundred pounds of material every time an electric car used up a charge, we'd have heard about it. Since it is weight-based, we could safely assume an 18-wheeler would vaporize a couple of TONS of asphalt every few hundred miles.
This is a nonsense paper appealing to poor, uneducated people without the analytical context -- or, more fairly to intelligent people without higher education credentials, just the simple, plain common sense -- necessary to recognize a propaganda job of absurd proportions. There is no science or fact behind this article. It is a pack of lies designed to anger people as much as necessary to hold their attention long enough to make a few more cents showing them advertising. The Dailymail is beyond shameful -- to the extent it tries to pass off this drivel as truth, it is an affront to human decency itself.
This kind of thing has only been getting more commonplace. Won't make a dime's worth of difference -- a $10/mo subscription to some credit monitoring service, some apologies to the employees, and a bit of worry, and NO changes -- until there is a system in place for complex, dynamic one-time-use SSN codes that EXPIRE if unused.
This kind of back door is so obvious, so stupid, and so NOT NEW, that Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins must be fires over this. There is no excuse to let some govt plant be able to get these back doors in in this day and age. What an embarrassment that CEO is. And anyone who says he is not responsible for this is avoiding the point that this is... SO NOT NEW.
Don't have to worry about people nicking a real developer's job. The average Joe/Jolene is likely to get excited and whip up some horribly deranged code that he/she will pay a professional developer a lot of money to fix. Think of it as creating more career opportunities cleaning up the mess. After all, maintenance of various sorts is where 90% of the money in this industry goes anyway.
Don't bother coding from scratch. Any client for whom money is an object, you're better off just hanging out and drinking beers with as you co-plan world domination. Eventually if you ask enough detailed product spec questions the client will realize they are in over their heads, get intimidated and abandon the project. They got off lucky. You got free beer.
Tie boy: Do not try and tie the tie. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Tie boy: There is no tie.
Neo: There is no tie?
Tie boy: Yes, you jackarse, this is a techie film and people don't wear ties unless they dropped in accidentally from the Wall Street movie set next door.

In other words: "We used $10 MILLION WORTH OF EXPENSIVE SERVERS like a CHILD would use a PAPER CLIP IN AN ELECTRIC SOCKET."

Well, to be honest, this is not exactly an EXTREMELY helpful post. But at least it's predictable, safe fiber that gets the conversation started.
i.e. "we haven't updated the software for a decade, but we are rolling out a patch soon"
Pluto will always be a planet as far as I'm concerned. The seven photons I could give a shit about.
Don't think it is a slow news day around here. Because apparently there are another 10^45 articles prepped and queued for auto-publish this morning about other critical batches of photons we've got to know about.
I literally had to absorb seven quintillion photons from my iPhone to read about seven random photons from Pluto.

This was a clear example of security through obscurity. The server was behind a NAT protected by a Huawei router. What could go wrong?

Well why can't you just compile a new git and stick it in your path?
