I run a technology and maker site that gets a good amount of traffic. My experience is almost all nefarious spam bot traffic comes from India. To the point I have blocked all India IP addresses from even using forms on my site.
I feel like the beloved Raspberry Pi has caused the rise of Python. All these school kids are learning Python in school and they just think its the best language for everything after that.
It's why Steve Jobs gave Apple's to schools.;-) It works.
"Do I think that more people will start using Python than SQL? That would be tough, SQL plays a role in huge swathes of the economy. I'd be surprised if next year Python overtakes SQL, just because SQL is so dominant."
SQL is #3 on the list. Since when did SQL become a programming language SQL us a a QUERY language.
The worst software tends to be the most successful...
No, the software that's most successful is the one that makes something simpler for the masses. People seem to think great technology wins. It never does. Solving problems wins.
Hint: We could learn from our own evolution. The changes that make you more likely to reproduce are what win. Not necessarily things we think should win (intelligence for example). In fact, stupid people are far more likely to have a baby than smart ones.
The TRUTH is, Apple is a dick when it comes to the handling of the app store and its walled garden iron fist controls. They could be better and should be.
The TRUTH is, Spotify is ruining music in many ways by paying fractions of pennies in royalties. Some artists with millions of song plays have received on $80 for a year of royalties. Fix that, then stop trying to side step app store rules. They could be better and should be.
Two companies who are both pulling bullshit are mad at the other for pulling bullshit. That's the Truth.
On the other... cry me a river, Youtuber isn't a real job. It has, to me, that same air of illegitimacy that instagram 'infulencers' have.
If people/companies/organizations pay you to do something, it is a job. Whether you like it or not does not change its legitimacy. Many would say singing is not a job, but there are multi-millionaire recording artists.
My cell phone rings constantly with every scam attempt in the world. About a year ago I just blocked all numbers not in my contacts. But now I get a ton of voicemails I have to constantly delete.
STORY. Star Wars in the 1970s had a fantastic story arch. The current batch of Star Wars movie (sans Rogue One, and Solo) have had no heart and soul. Only a bunch of special effects that are unimportant if the story is good.
If you need a dash button there's something seriously wrong with you.
It's a good thing you don't get to decide what I do and freedom is still a thing.
Because there's nothing as big as a waste of time to get in the car and drive 5 miles to closest grocery store for laundry detergent when I can press my dash button and have it tomorrow morning and use that hour of my time for something else.
I have a huge front porch with 3 to 4 foot wide pillars in each side of the sidewalk. Want to know where my packages always land? Right between the two pillars in plain sight. It wouldn't even take one second longer for them to put it behind a pillar keeping it out of view.
You mean, except those people who were buying an Apple TV to use with their Samsung TV, and now now longer have a convincing reason to buy the expensive Apple streaming device?
Nope. That Same-sung TV my have access to iTunes, but it won't run the boat loads of other apps the Apple TV does. Apple will increase iTunes marketshare without affecting the Apple TV sales, because the target audience would have never purchased one in the first place.
Obviously you can't admit you don't know how it works, but it doesn't mine the coin by verifying the transaction ledger. #You can admit this or not, it changes nothing. #Trump-like
Dude. All you've done is name call and tell someone they are wrong (while they are actually correct) for 20 replies. Either educate us all with your greatness (you can't) or go away (you can and should).
The attack resulted in legitimate Electrum wallet apps showing a message on users' computers, urging them to download a malicious wallet update from an unauthorized GitHub repository.
You know, after so much hype and bullshit around cryptocurrencies, this shit just makes me laugh.
You wanted to play in an unregulated financial industry, this is what you get. It's the wild west of scams and idiots, and I have no sympathy for any of them.
Boo fucking hoo, more cryptocurrency fools have lost their money.
You know people said the same thing when physical currency was introduced. Same exact arguments, physical currency was just stolen by people with bigger muscles and weapons instead of hacking skills.
Then you quite simply do not understand the point of it smarty pants.
At 2ft the parachute provided no better protection than an empty backpack. This is a silly of course, but the point is that in medical research when shortcuts are taken they miss the point and come to a conclusion like this on something that actually DOES matter.
It's an analogy to help the layman understand. Get with the program.

I'd never allow their router on my network. Turns out I was correct.
Nope we just hate you.
I think your God that you guys claim to believe in and the Bible you preach from commands you to love people, not hate them.

This argument baffles me. Here's a concept. Get up earlier or go to bed later. The amount of time in the day is unchanged.
What? It's dark for kids? You know schools can choose what hours they open and close?
What? Construction workers have to work in the dark? They too can change what hours they work. Just like they do when it rains.
Please pass this and eliminate the clock switching madness.
The patent trolls here are literally ***buying*** the courts and the politicians are looking the other way.
There's a very minimal decrease in probability of being stolen
Absolutely false. There has been a huge drop in smartphone thefts worldwide thanks to this technology. Stop spreading FUD.

I'm surprised that a scientific endeavor would allow for the potential of contaminating the surface with live biological samples.
Regardless if there ever were anything on the moon, this makes studying that harder by its very existence.
Also, we've already done zero-g growth experiments, what value did this add? It's not like the lander sourced soil and water for this.
It's inside the lander, in earth soil. Sealed.

iTS' bett3r than being hacked by CH1n4.
That would be "Giiiina". Everybody knows this. Everybody agrees.
They just decided to make 911 the lowest priority on their network until the government pays more money to put them in the fast lane. :-P

if it cant be used as safe currency then maybe graphic card and ram prices can return to normal
Uh dude. They did. In fact, ebay is flooded with graphics cards below market value as miners are abandoning ship.
is the dumbest fucking thing I've read today.
