Technology to decipher complex audio from background noise... that’s got to be worth a lot to a company with 1B mobile microphones riding around in pockets & purses.
Both EpiPen and its authorized generic are both made by Mylan. Nobody else can produce a generic EpiPen because the mechanical design of the injector is patented. Basically, EpiPen is $1 worth of epinephrine wrapped in a $599 patented injector.
The generic Adrenaclick autoinjector is great, but the different physical design means that it is NOT a generic for EpiPen.
What happens is that many doctors write prescriptions for EpiPen (by name), patients go to the pharmacy and are told that there is no generic (as of last year) or that the new Mylan generic costs $300. So they still end up buying from Mylan at an outrageous price.
Microsoft patching older OSes that are no longer supported was a free gift. Any business running XP or Server 2003 without a custom support contract is taking a big risk gamble.
I realize Slashdot loves to hate MS - and their war on Linux was good motivation - but MS really acted responsively on WannaCry.
Sure, it's just a coincidence that Microsoft released MS17-010 - a patch for multiple NSA-discovered vulnerabilities - several weeks before they were disclosed by Shadow Brokers.
Yes, Uber would still be better than cabs at equivalent prices.
I once had a cab drop me 40 miles from my intended destination because the driver spoke poor English and apparently couldn't read the address I gave him. This would never happen with Uber, because their app ensures that both rider and driver clearly understand the destination before beginning the journey.
Cab companies may close the technology gap, but somebody is going to make money in the ride-for-hire business.
Big difference. Uber and Lyft actually have a large base of PAYING customers in industry where - in the long term - there are legitimate profits to be made.
Also, I personally find Uber rides to be significantly better than cabs. Certainly a viable service.
Charter customers with 100+Mbps plans were leased old-spec modems that couldn't support those speeds. Charter promised the FCC that it would swap the modems, and the FCC excluded speedtest results from these users from national averages. Fast forward: Charter didn't switch the modems. Now NY State is suing it for defrauding customers.
Who cares? The whole point of having TOS is so you can stop bad behavior before it requires resolution through the legal system. Any company that just ignores abuse complaints may as well burn its TOS and hire more lawyers.

To be fair, WrkRiot wasn't really a "bubble" company. It was funded through the personal wealth of its founders, who ran out of cash and started begging from employees. That could happen in any market.
For starters, it is becoming the best hiring tool on the planet. It's already strong, with 6.5 million job listings, and 94% of recruiters use the site. (source). But it is inherently superior to its competitors because recruiters can compare candidates claimed experiences with their professional social network.
LinkedIn will beat Monster in recruiting for the same reason that Facebook beat MySpace. Even though MySpace, at one point, had more registered users than Facebook, the lack of stricter identity control (i.e. a REAL, non-spammy userbase) led Facebook to win in the long run.
Slashdot Mirror
I call BS. Craigslist has job posts, and Facebook Marketplace has already copied everything else about their platform.
The only reason to draw the LinkedIn comparison is because it has an attractive valuation.
According to Troy Hunt, 99.6% of this list is already in HaveIBeenPwned.
I realize that December is slow, but comment spam doesn't seem newsworthy.

The Generic Epinephrine Auto-Injector is made by Impax, not Mylan.

Disabling SMB1 is not enough to stop the EternalRocks worm, which includes the EternalChampion (SMB2) and EternalSynergy (SMB3) exploits.
Correct.

Or everybody could just quit panicking and patch their systems.

I am one of those hoarders who has hundreds of tabs open, and I never knew this was an option.
To close many tabs at once, I just moused-over the leftmost one and center-click rapidly until they are all closed.
The bonus is that they can conduct combat sorties against their many competitors
This explains so much: Amazon's preference for military vets, the drone program, etc.
We're nerds. Lets summarize like it:

that Facebook's greatest achievement wasn't how it many users it gained, but how it turned them into profit.

You can be complicit even if you don't pull the trigger.
CloudFlare, I love you, but quit trying to weasel out of your responsibilities to respond to abuse complaints.
Also ironic because OVH has a poor record of responding to malicious activity abuse complaints.

Her breakup story just made the New York Times, Slashdot, TechCrunch, and Inc.com. Seems like she's a pretty great Marketer.
To be fair, WrkRiot wasn't really a "bubble" company. It was funded through the personal wealth of its founders, who ran out of cash and started begging from employees. That could happen in any market.
This user's entire submission history consists of 2 stories about Java within an hour of each other. Smells like shill.

Researchers have very low false-positive rate when analyzing past data.
