It's about time people realized cab drivers are going to be out of work when self driving cars arrive. With more and more people leasing new cars instead of buying, I think in the large urban centers, we will see not only the replacement of human taxi operators but also a shift from leasing cars to leasing rides from a large fleet. It just makes the most sense logistically.
What about the other guy who spent $19k and didn't win shit?
Put the pipe down, AC. It wasn't $18,000 worth of lottery tickets, the winner was chosen based on performance (amount of referrals).. $18,000 was the cost of implementing his strategy. Which happened to be the best one. If someone else spent $19,000 on a less successful strategy, well that's the way the cookie crumbles.
You can call the boosted post-acquisition Jet.com stock value a windfall, but I find no reasonable way of calling it an "accident".
They still should not be returning coordinates if the location is unknown. We wouldn't be having this discussion--and there would be no lawsuit to worry about--if the database said "Sorry. I don't know where that is. But if you kindly look to the Country record, you will see that it is in an IP block used in USA"
When there is no record, they should return no result at all. If that is not an option, at least return an obviously bogus location like, gee, I dunno.. 0,0. Which happens to be in the middle of an ocean. Choosing an arbitrary spot in the country is just plain idiotic. I hope they have to fork out the max in punitive damages for being such morons.
I looked for this on Digikeyand didn't find it, but they do have a bunch of SolidRun boards, including the ClearFog Pro which has 6+1 GbE and an SFP, plus 2 mPCIe slots and 1 mSATA. At less than $175, that's a steal. I've been waiting for something like this that could replace the discrete routers, ethernet switches, and Arduino programming slaves at my transmitter sites, which only have a few hosts each. There have been other multi-nic SBC's, but I have yet to see one this cheap.
There is no scenario in which I would remove the shielding. The next guy can install microcells and a fiber backhaul, if need be. The shielding will now be resisting external interference. It will be cheaper than tearing out the shielding, and cell service will be better than that of those establishments who rely on the tower.
Does that mean I can sue the city when I miss an important call while in a parking deck? Get real, mate. There's nothing to stop this guy from saying "get off my lawn". Passive blocking is his prerogative. If you don't want to lose contact, drink somewhere else.
Love the metadata on the image they used in TFA.. "Hacker desk laptop hoodie hacking hooded". I guess a white dude with facial hair and a hoodie is automatically "hacking" if he has a laptop out.
Maybe Mr. Robot had it right... Build your lair in an abandoned arcade, or hollowed out volcano... Whatever suits your fancy. As long as you're not there when they find it, who cares?
It's unclear from reading the article, but it sounds like the malware steals it from the POS application at the time of swipe, hence the need to infect the machines at individual restaurants. This is not the same as breaking into a big database and plucking a list of "stored" card info.
You're going to spend time setting up any operating system. The subtractive approach (Windows, most Linux distros) is always a waste of time. I prefer the additive approach.. Start from a kernel and a shell and add only what YOU want the system to have. Arch Linux is therefore the obvious choice for me.

Put the pipe down, dude. There is no fucking way mesh networks are going to replace point-to-point backhauls.
A computer will be able to do YOUR job some day too.
If a robot show up that can climb a 1500 ft. tower and install a microwave dish, I'll be happy to let it do it. But somehow I kinda doubt it...
The typical ruralite will just laugh at the idea
Which is precisely why I made the distinction about large urban centers in my O.P.

Even if they had the plain text, they wouldn't be able to understand it.

Sure sounds to me like he had a plan, having spent almost $20K of his own money to win the contest.

Gee, that's great, but when is the Google Play Music team gonna get off their asses and fix HTML5 support??

For the next guy at that location?

It's all their fault for being successful.
Can we please quit referring to theft as "success"?
Do blackhat botnets patch themselves after getting attacked?
Sounds like something out of a William Gibson novel. Go ahead, put it out there. Somebody's gonna own it and teach it to spread backdoors.

I thought everyone knew...
No way Baton Rouge has anything like 50k cops.
Correct. A quick trip to governing.com reveals that Baton Rouge Police employ just 832 people, 728 of which are officers.
This sounds just like the Bio-neural Gel Packs from Star Trek

Why should he care whether or not it is a good "political move"? Once you are done being President, your political career is over.
