While I do agree the fact that he was fired is significant, you have to wonder what kind of culture is at the company where he thought this was something he could get away with.
Since this was at a "company retreat in Las Vegas", I'm going to guess it had less to do with company culture and more to do with Mr. Grabby drinking too much to worry about consequences.
The boob-grabber got fired, as CNBC fails to note (but BusinessInsider does)
The baseball bat thing is probably a reference to Scarface. Whether a manager actually was referencing the movie when making the "threat" or the person talking to the reporter was using it for inspiration for making shit up, I couldn't say.
Back in the day most applications with some sort of copy protection would load everything at once into memory. If your computer had a memory expansion port you could attach an ICE device to the memory expansion port, do a memory dump to it, write out the memory dump to disk and voila! you have a broken copy of that application. Is there an analog to this today?
Firewire DMA, which can be used to snag the encryption key for various DRM schemes (though you usually don't have to go to such lengths). There are also similar devices intended for forensic use.
BS CS from State? Learn this: "Have you tried turning it on and off?" or "Would you like room for cream?"
I have a BSCS from State which I got when the current 20-somethings were gleams in their father's eyes and just got a software development job after a couple months of being unemployed.
There's a lot of problems with H-1B jobs; for one, low-level and mid-level American programmers, the people who used to do business programming, have been pushed out of the market in favor of H-1B body shops and offshoring firms. But it's more than a bit of an exaggeration that you need to be a 20-something from a top school to get a job.
Fewer organs for most of us, maybe. But for Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Travis Kalanick, and the other self-driving car company executives... well, when they need an organ, a perfectly matching donor will have the perfect crash.
The only right wing neonazi fuckers are in a Putin funded basement in St Petersburg trolling the internets with fake racist comments because Putin wants us to believe there is a "rise of the right"
Why would Putin bother funding this when Soros has it covered?
Sure, but you have to realize that institutional cultures do not change overnight.
They can change in one direction slowly -- that's the direction towards maximum decay and corruption. Any other change has to be "overnight" or the institutional forces pushing the other way will defeat it.
I've found that by surrounding it with a jacket of depleted uranium, the so-called "nuclear waste" can be instead be a byproduct with very high market value, especially in certain middle-eastern countries.
What the majority of people complaining about a spy agency that actually spies need to do is realize no one really gives a shit about them or their mundane lives.
That was before they started funneling information to law enforcement for the purposes of criminal investigations. So far it seems to be mostly drugs (but there's a lot of mundane people using illegal drugs), but in the future it could as easily be copyright violation, nanny tax evasion, underaged drinking (think your kids are smart enough to never mention it on the phone? If they are, what about their friends?), or zoning violations.
At this point (honestly well before it) its simpler to assume that any and all communications medium around the globe have been spied upon by the 5 Eyes coalition since at least the mid 80's when Bell and others began to coalesce and merge once more due to deregulation and a very friendly set of first-world government policies.
I certainly have no problem with "othering" any group that wants to kill me. That includes neo-Nazis as much as radical Muslims. Not only do I not have a problem with "othering" those groups, neither does the US government, or the SPLC for that matter.
Except the "radical Muslims" the SPLC "others" are people like Ayaan Hirsi Ali (apostate, that is, a proclaimed "ex-Muslim") and Majid Nawaz ("liberal" Muslim reformer). Speaking out against conventional Islam makes you an enemy in the SPLCs eyes.
Why wouldn't terrorists use 72Mhz radios you can get for free from people willing to give them away. Why waste expensive electronics on a drone that's just going to blow up anyway?
Assuming they don't go the high-tech autopilot route. If a drone can "return home", it can also "home in on target" with relatively minor software changes.
The whole point of a VAT (charged at every part in the chain) as opposed to a sales tax (charged only to the final consumer) is that there's a limit to how much you can increase the sales tax rate without rampant fraud at that one single point of sale. Serves 'em right that the VAT opens up new avenues for fraud as well.
Yeah. They looked like pretty typical cases of a broken touch screen to me; the lack of any reports of Democratic votes changing to Republican might be reporting bias.
If you're going to rig a machine to change a vote, you'd be pretty dumb to make it show it changing.
Typical SJW, always looking at everything through the lens of *-isms. Someone posted nerd-bait, an obviously overblown statement claiming to be literally true. Someone else got nerd-sniped by the nerd bait. No sexism involved.
I think given the context it's fair to assume the "pointed-headed geek" commenter was a "pointy-headed geek". That is, it was a reference to the way Trump would presumably consider people like them.
Not a problem, however. When Trump asks about "Exascale", just tell him it means these things are going to be YUUUUGE, and he'll sign off.

This study is very limited; it goes only up to age 18. It says absolutely nothing about whether toxoplasma will turn you into a cat lady.

That's asking to STOP having sex, so it's OK.

Not the '80s. The late 1960's.
Was that non-GAAP profit? Under GAAP rules they shouldn't be able to book the revenue on the pre-order until the car is delivered.
Do you really think there isn't ALREADY such a registry?

OK. Still
1) Buy drone, rig with explosives
2) Set "home" location to "target" (chances are someone on the Internet has figured out how to change the "home" location arbitrarily for some drone)
3) Put drone in air, turn off transmitter, drive away.
4) Jam all you want, Johnny Law!

In a couple of months, "fake news" will be anything sympathetic to the government. (or at least the Trump Administration)
