Look at the pictures - this thing is in the middle of an undeveloped area. Break out some chainsaws and "develop" the adjacent lot into more solar panels.
Oh no, so they have to leave the existing infrastructure in place and use it way less. That sounds horrible, and is definitely a reason to just continue shipping and burning diesel 24/7/365.
Run an install of a PKG without putting in a password, or run something that you just downloaded from the internet without being prompted about it (unless you specifically disabled that check, in which case you deserve to be exploited.)
It's true that they inherited a good security design from BSD, but they did some of their own thinking and it was one example of where the engineers and architects actually convinced Steve Jobs he was wrong - having a protected Applications folder, and requiring privilege escalation to install software. He thought they were nuts at the time, but in an interview much later he recounted how Avie Tevanian convinced him that it was necessary, and that Jobs was immensely thankful that he did.
From the group of 30,000 e-mails returned to the State Department, 110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains contained information that was Top Secret at the time they were sent; 36 chains contained Secret information at the time; and eight contained Confidential information, which is the lowest level of classification.
At the time of sending or receiving. Either you are grossly misinformed, or intentionally lying in order to "correct the record." Either way, never post the old "what every other Secretary of State has done before her" horseshit again - because it's patently false according to the people that would know.
That's fine, but as has been pointed out, the private phone in question is an old known vulnerable model. Which means it can be hacked and rooted to turn on the microphone, give up location data, etc.
Yeah, why would that be a problem - a politician known for saying stupid inflammatory things with a perpetual hot mic around. And that's the best case scenario.
The lunar lander's ascent engine was only good enough to get the ascent stage (the upper half of the craft, carrying two astronauts and surface samples) into lunar orbit so it could use RCS to rendezvous with the CSM, which had the much larger and more powerful SBS rocket to leave lunar orbit. They left a lot of mass on the surface (the descent stage and all the tools and crap they needed for the EVAs).
They've also had cross-region S3 bucket syncing since 2015. If you really need it to be up, spend a few more bucks on automatically syncing between say US-East-1 and US-West-2.
If both of those go down at the same time, it's a very bad day for Amazon.
Yeah, that guy is a douche, and you don't want to work for him.
I work for a company that hosts stuff in AWS, and we are doing cross-region backups, as well as a weekly dump to our on-prem servers. Yes, AWS has a good amount of redundancy between the multiple availability zones per region, etc. But why take the chance, when it's trivial to dump your stuff on a scheduled basis to another region, or even to something as cheap as a Synology box or one of those workstations being recycled into a FreeNAS box in the office?
They are specifically saying the issues with S3 are in the US-Standard and US-East-1 regions. If you have specifically put your stuff in a bucket in another region, you are probably fine.
Yeah, the difference is that we've been making tunnels for a while now, and they still blow through the budget regularly and leave the taxpayers on the hook for massive overruns.
Budgets are based on guesses that are informed by work that has been done before. Nobody has even remotely come close to a space elevator, so writing a budget for it is an exercise in deep thought comedy, especially since the materials necessary for such a thing only exist in the imagination. You could spend $10B just trying to come up with three feet of a material that could work as the tether, much less making 50,000 miles of it. Or getting it into orbit. Or having the orbital anchor to attach it to already there. Or any of the numerous other issues I can think of without ever reading any book on the subject.
The US Government spends $10B on post-it notes. If it only cost $10B to never launch rockets again, don't you think it would have been done by now?
NASA's 2011 budget was $18.4B. If they could have really done this for $10B, they could have done it in like 3 years while maintaining all the science probes and other operations.
Oh wait, the materials to get this done at any price, up to and including the GDP of the entire fucking planet, don't exist. I forgot.
Hint: they don't just shoot them straight up from where they want it "parked."
Every single thing we've put in space gets there the same way: you start straight up in order to clear any launch infrastructure. Usually in less than a minute from liftoff, the rocket will perform a "pitchover maneuver" or "gravity turn" to take advantage of the fact that gravity is always pulling the rocket back down, and use that energy for guidance rather than drag. This results in the vehicle pitching from vertical to horizontal in a natural ascent profile that allows it to continue climbing in altitude, while gaining the horizontal velocity to remain in orbit.
Only once in orbit, does it continue to expend fuel to increase it's orbital altitude to where it's horizontal velocity would be synchronous with a particular point on Earth's surface.
Yeah, I love spending my money on inferior products that don't work as well, because brand loyalty!
It's called 'voting with your wallet.' If the company isn't getting it done with their product line, they need to know it. And there's no better message delivery than a warehouse full of stale product that nobody wants to buy. How do we know? Because of this story right here - AMD may have come up with a winner. Same or better performance at far less price. And why did they do this? Because Intel was kicking their asses up and down the block on performance, at ANY price point.
Maybe not anymore. If AMD can deliver on this announcement, they will see sales uplift. Message received.
It seems that every time Intel gets a significant pile of laurels, they like to rest on them. Then someone comes up from behind to kick them in the ass. AMD has done it before, perhaps with this generation they can do it again.
And who wins? We all do. Last time, Intel got off their ass and created the Core-series that has expanded PC processing power to the point where upgrade cycles have gone from 3 years to 6+. Let's hope that this shot across the bow ushers in a new era of chip design that brings features we want, rather than the features that they think we want.
"We weren't able to jam all the spyware and bloat in for this release and still make the timeline, so we're giving you another release later this year to add all that and more!"
Apollo 8 and 10 were just Apollo 7 and 9 in lunar orbit. 7 tested the command module, not even on a full-blown Saturn V. Apollo 8 then took it to the moon, testing the service module and SBS rocket engine. 9 tested the LM in earth orbit. 10 took it into suborbital lunar flight, doing basically the whole Apollo 11 mission except the landing, flag planting, etc.
They were all test flights, and all of these guys were test pilots.
What, you don't think it's a good use of our elected representatives time to hold highly partisan hearings on what model phone that the President tweets with?
Because I'm sure that's the only device he has with him ever, and never does he have an aide standing by that holds onto whatever phone the Government issued him.
This is the same kind of bullshit the Republicans kept trying for the last 8 years, that Democrats bemoaned. Typical partisan hacks, hacking away instead of actually doing something to make a difference. Like writing legislation to fix problems, or listening to your constituents.
Nope, that's not me. I have a problem wherever marketing's insatiable need for bigger numbers trumps actual engineering and common sense. Much like when Intel just kept deepening the pipeline on Pentium 4 in order to ramp clock speed, even though they were making a worse CPU due to branch prediction misses. Because Mhz sells.
Apple is making these mistakes right now, but screen resolution isn't one of them. 4K resolution makes a difference on a 27" panel and above, not so much at 15" WQXGA or on the 350+ DPI phones we already have. It's all marketing if the pixels are already small enough that you can't discern them without holding it an inch from your face. Why do they need to be smaller and more numerous, creating additional load for the hardware (read: shorter battery life, less frames per second) just to check a box on the misguided marketing requirements document?

Look at the pictures - this thing is in the middle of an undeveloped area. Break out some chainsaws and "develop" the adjacent lot into more solar panels.
Wow, that's hard to figure out.
Gee, you don't think this is why they also installed a shitload of battery, do you?
Oh no, so they have to leave the existing infrastructure in place and use it way less. That sounds horrible, and is definitely a reason to just continue shipping and burning diesel 24/7/365.
Are you serious with this?
Run an install of a PKG without putting in a password, or run something that you just downloaded from the internet without being prompted about it (unless you specifically disabled that check, in which case you deserve to be exploited.)
Hint: it won't let you.

Stop lying.

Nah, their service health dashboard was also affected by the issues. They've fixed it (the status page) and it's showing wider ranging issues.
Yeah, it's almost like it's a service run by humans, and humans are fallible no matter who their employer is.
They are specifically saying the issues with S3 are in the US-Standard and US-East-1 regions. If you have specifically put your stuff in a bucket in another region, you are probably fine.
It also avoids things going wrong that leaves two private citizens in lunar orbit forever, dead once supplies run out.
I'm sure they will sign one hell of a liability waiver, but there are no waivers for that kind of PR disaster.

As long as there are follow-up plugins that allow me to send them a bag of dicks as well, I'm good with it.
I was just thinking that we needed yet another way to move money across the Internet. Thank god that Facebook is here to help!
