Trump won't happen. If he somehow kept it together enough to get a plurality of primary delegates, two or more of the other candidates would pool their own delegates to win at the convention. Trump does well in polling, but I don't think he's very popular with the party faithful, nor do I think his kind of supporter is the type who typically shows up at the ballot.
If there is any service you should take care of yourself it is version control.
Maybe. Or maybe you realize that every team member has a complete copy of the repository and so - while server security certainly protects you from poisoning the well, such as it were - it does nothing to protect you from having your source code stolen. And I doubt many hackers care much about this obscure data collection program.
1 - as I said, very very tough. All things are possible, but this would be very difficult.
2 - In 2-D, that would be easy. Very non-trivial for 3-D, especially given the very limited distance you could set cameras apart on a single drone. With several drones and some magnificent way to track them independently in space you would get more information. A radar tracking station would be your best bet...:)
3 - That's kind of cheating:)
The original context of my comment was someone accidentally getting their drone sucked into a jet engine. It would be very difficult to do purposely, let alone accidentally. And of course, once you got your drone ingested, it's not even clear to me that it would seriously endanger the plane.
The ascent rate of a drone is somewhere on the order of 5-10 m/s, decent obviously much higher. A jet on approach is going over 70 m/s, and descending at up to say 15 m/s. That is about the only way you'd have a shot at it, and the conditions are far from ideal. I'd love to hear your 3 methods.
I think it would be a very hard thing to fly a drone into a jet engine. Like hitting a hole in one from 100 miles away. Even if you managed it, the engine (the whole plane, actually) is designed to ingest birds - it probably won't crash the plane. Even if it did damage the engine, there are at least two of those.
That's not very good advice. What if there is a vulnerability discovered in gitolite or any of the underlying libraries or OS? Am I competent enough to make sure that I keep Linux always up-to-date? Do I stay on top of security news enough to know that I need to work around the newest hole in ssh?
Even when management can't do it, Visual Basic can cause trouble simply because they know about it. I was once paid to create a huge abortion of a personnel/resource tracking application inside of Excel, where the managers could each work on a sheet and then through the magic of VBA, upper management could combine all of the data, query Exchange for personnel data, and then make pivot tables. I tried to talk him out of it, but he insisted - so I made it.
He got fired, but the behemoth lives on. For a while I would get asked to help debug it, as it was delicate. Eventually they had me hand it off to this poor bastard in IT, but as far as I know they are still using it.
If I want to hide my projects from the public I'm not going to put them on someone else's server.
Well, that's you. I'm not a security expert and I'm not a big corporation that can afford to hire one. So for me, it's probably more secure to use someone else's server.
I know money is fungible and all, but not paying taxes because society is trying to achieve some policy goal is not the same as taking money that you did not earn at all. All of Tesla's competitors are subject to the exact same tax incentives.
To be fair, they are technically in compliance with the law in most/many places. They push the law to the limit, though, and then adjust or lobby when ruled against. They are disruptive, but I don't think that automatically makes them "bad". Change bothers a lot of people - especially anyone content with the current system. Re-balancing the new system is going to have it's ups and downs, but I don't think the shrinking of the middle man is necessarily a bad thing if the law can catch up.
Tell that to T-Mobile parent Deutsche Telekom, or Sprint's parent Softbank (Japan). Or, for that matter, until last year Verizon's 50% owner Vodafone. I don't think Americans are to blame here.
You are partially right - they certainly do keep the price down by dodging regulations to their best ability. However, the real draw of Uber is the nicer cars and prompt service. Local monopoly providers got too complacent and couldn't be bothered to upgrade their dispatching system, and individual car owners take better care of their vehicles than fleet drivers / renters.
How are the users of a service ("Focus Group Minority") a "minority"? There are far more customers than providers. I think there needs to be balance, but let's not totally dismiss those being serviced.
He's an interesting mix between European-style big-government and libertarian-style individual freedom. I'm not sure that this would work out practically, as a large government is also harder to corral and keep in check. But he's definitely not fascist. The Republican he most resembles is probably Rand Paul. Take away Bernie's giant government checkbook and the two sound very similar.
This is true - it's a reversion from representative democracy. If we insist on globalizing trade, the institutions should resemble those of a parliament or congress. The members can be directly elected or not, depending on the member countries' preferences. I think the move to knocking down the dubious notion of the "state" is probably a good one, but not it if means replacing it with corporate-backed committees.
Of particular concern to safety groups is the finding that passengers in a typical EU model are 33 per cent safer in front-side collisions, an accident that often results in serious injury, than those in a typical US model.
I suspect there is a bias towards driver safety in the US standards, since cars tend to have a single occupant.
I agree. My farts smell much better when I watch independent films. But then, my farts smell much better than everyone else's inferior farts all the time.
My mom, dad, and step-mom have iPhones. They are generally called "boomers". I don't think your worldview is correct. I'd be surprise if iPhones were counter-culture enough for a hipster. A Blackberry (with keyboard) or Razr seems more appropriate, or even a full-on 80s brick phone.

Yeah, because the submitter who professes to have absolutely no idea what he's doing will surely do a much better job staying on top of security.
Here as well. Now, take out your drone and try to fly it :)
Yes, if you can get close enough to an airport, the task becomes much easier. That's probably not realistic, though :)

Backups are always necessary - though in this case it's a bit silly since we are talking about git...

To my delight, Dilbert published this strip right in the middle of it all.

I must have missed the goofy alliterative animal name and candy episodes.

I eagerly clicked on the story thinking that between "UberX" and "NSW" it would be a whole lot more fun.

Right, but the article specifically says "passengers".

I thought the same thing, but in TFA:
