Security decisions ultimately come from the board of directors, not the C-Suite or the IT department. The board dictates what direction they way, the C-Suite manages that direction and IT executes the plan.
C-Suite should never be involved with security decisions beyond doing what they are told by the board. History I believe bares this out.
I am NOT an open source ideologue, however, with Google closed source kernel could only mean that snooping is baked-in at the kernel level. They are not in business of selling OS, so I couldn't think of any other reason to close source it.
They should have named this kernel Tom, as in Peeping Tom.
Its entirely likely they will open it up eventually. Right now its early R&D phase. Time will tell I guess.
Trump says bad things, Hillary does them. Frankly I've said far worse than Trump ever has. My posting history here probably bares that out and my friends should you ask them would be very upfront in saying our senses of humor would disqualify us from any and all public offices. I'm not going to hold Trump to a different standard. I really don't give a fuck if he offends you. I care if he can do the job and so far he's doing it and is the only politician in about 50 years to actually do the shit he campaigned on. I'll take that all fucking day.
This dam has been failing for at least 12 years. The draught made them complacent on fixing it. This is an infrastructure failure on the part of CA. If it were a natural disaster I'd be more forgiving but CA has had 12 years to deal with this and haven't. That is inexcusable. Now the rest of the country is expected to pick up the tab? I don't think so. CA doesn't need us remember? They can leave the Union and to hell with us rednecks.
Well here ya go. You're own your own mother fuckers.
Facebook and Twitter are echo chambers, no doubt about that. But did those echos really change anyone's vote? I doubt it.
They did but not the way people think. I know a large number of people who voted for Trump because the media were so dead set on making him the villain. The media coverage was so over the top that people finally saw through it and said "fuck you." It's only gotten worse since the election too with cooks in CA saying they want to secede from the union and fat chicks with blue hair wearing vagina costumes started marching in DC calling everyone nazi's.
The more Facebook and Twitter try to claim they are the voice of the people the more the real voices of the people have revolted.
You could say the same thing about any single news source. My father-in-law gets all his news from the paper version of the wall street journal and whatever nonsense the local evening news is spouting off that day plus a bit of Rush Limbaugh. Needless to say he has a rather narrow and unhealthy world view because he never hears any ideas that contradict what he already believes. Getting your news from a single source or even a narrow group of sources is almost certain to result is a very weird view of how the world should work.
But what if your belief is right and the others are wrong? What do you gain from listening to stupidity? I have no use for CNN for example. I actually liked CNN back in the 90's, they were still a tad bit biased but they at least had some journalistic integrity. Today? None, zero, ziltch.
I have 4 or 5 news sites bookmarked that I visit on a regular basis. I trust them. I don't always agree with them but I trust they are not intentionally lying to me. Why would I go outside of that?
My 2700 sqft house on a quarter acre with unlimited free water costs $500/month in Idaho - only a 2 hour flight away from SoCal and 1 time zone. I also have 5 acres of forest overlooking a large lake a couple hours away - $150/month.
SV and others need to expand to nearby cities.
QFT. I moved to Idaho 8 years ago and will never go back. The amount I save on cost of living alone will mean the difference between retiring comfortably or not at all. I truly do not understand why people continue to work and live in SV. The one industry on Earth where you truly do not need to live where you work and they continue to flock like lemmings to the same horrible area.
I know you're trying to be funny but the Chinese up until Mao and Communism were some of the most original people in history. It saddens me to see what China has become.
I've seen this: some high-powered MS rep chats up a boss, and *presto*:
MS is great We've got to migrate
Put that to whatever jingle you want. Also: inspect bank accounts and campaign funds.
Note also that the study supporting the move back to WIndows was carried out by Accenture (some of us know them better by their old name, Andersen Consulting). Accenture was Microsoft's Alliance Partner of the Year in 2016, so I'm sure that they have a neutral, objective reason for recommending Microsoft software.
Maybe. My company (fortune 500) treats MS as a hostile business partner. We deal with them only because we have legacy systems that we must deal with and because no one really offers a solution as robust as active directory for the enterprise.
I've made the argument a number of times with the higher ups that by eliminating the Microsoft licensing tax we could higher more people with expertise in Mac/Linux and eliminate MS entirely. They don't listen because "change" is a bad word in the enterprise. My entire business unit could go MS free tomorrow if they would let us get rid of Skype for Business.
Even our executives hate MS yet they keep going back like trained dogs.
Use some other language. There are better languages out there. Sun, which developed Java, made it freely available so that it would get popular. That's why people chose it -- that's why it got the traction and support to evolve to where it is today. Ultimately though, people were only willing to pay what it was worth.
Her'es the thing with Java. It was designed for much different use than it's being used for today. It was meant to run on smart cards and specialized hardware. That's why it uses a JVM because you can port the JVM to whatever you want and the language will just work. But those uses today are no longer important. Java has ended up as a backend server language for some odd fucking reason where its performance is terrible and the constant revisions has made it impossible to maintain.
Java today is a pointless language used only because other people are using it. There are so many better options that choosing java for a project today should be a fireable offence. Pick anything, C, Rust, Go, C#, ANYTHING. It will be better than Java.
Being prosecuted for treason = execution. You're just splitting hairs. At least Trump states it up front, Obama couldn't say what he meant if his life depended on it.
I guess the Apple haters really jumped on this right from the start which was surprising for me.
Personally, I would think that in terms of USB-C, with all the problems that have been reported in the press regarding cheap cables, there is enough of a negative to want to avoid it.
I (and, more importantly, my wife and kids) can get very cheap (two dollar range) lightning cables for our iPhones at "Dollarama" (this is a Canadian Store) and basically not worry about things burning up or not working. The same can't be said for USB-C.
There have been just as many cheap lightning cables ruining phones and starting fire. What the fuck is your point?
Our new Orange Overlord will be making this not-great thing great again along with all the other things which are now becoming great (again).
Always easy to spot the liberal. Has to cry about something totally unrelated and bring up their loss every chance they get. Your perpetual tears are fucking hilarious and I truly hope your butt hurt continues for another 4years. You're comedy fucking gold.
I was in the market for a TV last year and this sort of stuff is why I ruled out Vizio immediately. Everyone wants to compete on price so they have to make it up somewhere else. Pretty sure we'll soon be paying a subscription for the content AND the TV you watch it on. Well, some people will, not me. I'm watching less and less on TV each year.
I recently bought a Samsung. I would have gone the cheaper Vizio route but this issue held me off. Samsung isn't necessarily better but at least they tell you ahead of time in the terms and you can simply not connect it to the internet if you so wish. Vizio was deceptive and unrepentant about it. That lost them a sale from me.
That said, I do like the online features of my Samsung but I can see this getting very heavy handed in the future where it simply wont work without an internet connection.
Do companies and billionerds really think this "teach everyone to code" is going to produce a more capable workforce? What's their angle - drive wages down?
It's doubly confusing since all they want to do is outsource them once they've learned to code. It's fucking ridiculous.
If Disney cared so fucking much why did they outsource an entire department of competent IT workers to India? It's not like Disney is hurting for cash.

Replacing Linux with a home-rolled kernel?
Yes and at present it is closed source.

Oh shut up. If you don't want it dont pay for it but don't whine like a fucking bitch about it. FFS
I'm sorry, but naked women are anything but natural.
What fucking planet do you come from where being naked isn't natural? Are people on your planet born in scuba gear or something?

Change Apple Pay to "Pay Apple". It's more truthful.
Some simple googling would keep the egg off your face. Just sayin
Apple has the best graphics on mobile by a wide margin. The desktop no but on mobile they are killing it.
