Easy: this guy is a manager. If all you do is schedule things, have meetings and delegate things with initials (e.g,. "JR can you handle this?"), you can live on a mobile device with a fairly large screen. You only need a computer if you actually have to do work.
Yeah, time to rethink your PR strategy then because no one reads/forwards/retweets apologizes on Twitter. In fact, the only live people left over there seem to be reporters looking for the next drunk/racist/sexist celebrity/politician/athlete tweet, so craft accordingly...
Shaggy dudes with crossbows? I have to think that's already been a crappy reality show on TLC already. (Does anyone on SlashDot still have cable so we can find out for sure?)
Why not? The Star Wars movies no longer suck, so the populace is ready to digest the sequel. Personally, I can't wait for green 45-degree lasers travelling a bit under the speed of light.
Gee, it's a good thing Amazon only sells client machines, right? If anyone ran their servers/services on Amazon anything, they'd REALLY have to be worried...
I remember the 1990's crypto wars. But we've also had plenty of time to refactor our code, create secure-by-default installations and disable insecure implementations. In fact, as an industry, we've done it before for SSL 2.0, MD5, SSL 3.0, RC4 and now SHA1.
Long story short, I think it's that major IDE's (e.g., Visual Studio, Eclipse?) will now be "compiling to typescript" where the typescript will be leveraging the Angular 2 framework. (Anyone...accurate?)
To their credit, they did the right thing in incrementing the major version number.

>> A quarter of admins don't seem to know how to disable it.
In many cases, the problem is "downstream" of the admins originally tasked with disabling it. E.g., Original website gets locked down with TLS only, but then a proxy/CDN/accelerator project comes along and "front-ends" some or all of the HTTPS services/content, and the new HTTPS-serving service isn't locked down and could even be invisible to the admins in charge of the original web application boxes. (Yes, I've seen this happen before both as a developer and a pentester.)
>> You have very low expectations on your investments
Did I mention I was a Gen-X'er? The market hasn't been kind since the late 1990's - the S&P's only gained about 80% since I got in, or about 3.3% per year.
>> net worth doesn't just include liquid accounts like checking
Yes, my house is about $200K of my worth, but I don't see that rocketing up fast, and I'm keeping that out of my long term income plans since I want to keep it (and hope to avoid a reverse mortgage or outright sale).
That's not too far off my net worth, and I'm a late-30-ish developer wondering if that will be enough to allow me to retire at 65 (hoping it will double to $1.5M or $75K/year by then and inflation stays low). It certainly isn't enough to let me quit my job if I want to keep my house, car, kids in sports, etc.
Like most Gen-X'ers, I still don't believe Social Security as we know it (i.e., cashable checks) will exist by then: I'm expecting SS will be converted almost entirely into Medicare, food stamps, ride share tokes and other non-cash chits and programs by then instead. (And I'd be OK with that...but it means I'll need my own spending money.)
>> "'People currently drive less because traffic is stressful' (is not valid)"
You may want to talk to some of your friends or coworkers. I know lots of people who avoid driving in cities because the traffic is stressful. I know traffic was a factor lots of people moving away from LA, Chicago, NYC, etc.

You're kidding, right? I'll need to you look up the terms "sprawl" and "freeway" before we can continue this conversation.
>> Self-driving cars could increase the overall amount of vehicle miles traveled.
Yes it will. One of the OTHER ways it will do this will be to take the pain out of commuting (e.g., you can watch TV instead of drive; you'll no longer feel as stressed when in traffic) so people will start living further and further out from their jobs again - should be great for the suburbs.
Personally, I can't wait for it. If you want to cut my emissions with my self-driving car, make it electric and self-charging too (e.g., drive to the charging lot, get full while I'm at work) - no complaints here.
>> I'm not sure he is talking about what I think he is talking about with untrusted certs
I had that impression too. When I've used VPNs with certs, it's been in situations where mutual authentication of specific certificates was used - no CAs necessary. Anyone who's used client keys with SSH or even just PGP would be familiar with the situation.
