He doesn't realize that IBM serves the niche of a full service provider who gives the fortune 500 everything they want (and what companies in the fortune 500 want doesn't always seem rational from the outside). I don't know what Oracle provides but anyone who uses their cloud will be fucked.
But if you survey any dozen corporate firewalls or private firewalls, I would bet that you would find that most of them have quite large default vulnerabilities.
Nah. I'd like to see a citation on this.
Since the most vulnerable ports are the same on all home devices, ports like 22, 80, 443, 8080, and 8443, the port needs to activated specifically for every device behind a NAT
That's just a design issue. Consumer routers could be built to behave the same way if you want to.
You don't need to encrypt anything to transfer bitcoin. The blockchain is a list of transactions, and to spend money you recieved in a previous transaction, all you need to do is present the key to unlock the money stored in that transaction. So it's a function of cryptographic signing, but not encryption (technically you don't need to present your key, just prove that you have it).
"It baffles me that in 2019, we still don't have a conveniently browsable threaded archive of mailing list discussions."
Aren't there a lot of clients that can do this? Wouldn't it be rather trivial (less than a week's worth of time) to implement a website using Majordomo or GNU Mailman or even write your own from scratch?
If you are the kind of person who sees a powerful female lead and tries to explain your feeling of inadequacy as "I don't hate women, just SJWs", well, you're gonna hate it. But we all expected that. There are interesting and powerful women and men in this movie; some of each are good and some are evil. Kinda like life.
OK, now imagine I've never heard of SJWs, or Manspreading, or anything like that. Would I still be able to enjoy the movie? Or do you need to take sides to enjoy it?
Imagine bitcoin eventually replaced traditional currency (I can't see that happening, but who knows). Then imagine the government got annoyed and somehow managed to put restrictions on bitcoin, like "contracts can't be enforced." Basically that would create a bi-partite currency system, where one currency is good for some things, and other currencies are good for other things, like an annoying free-to-play video game.
We can look at real-world parallels, too. For example, Venezuela and Argentina both tried to put laws restricting dollars in their countries, but in both cases they ended up with a thriving black market of people buying dollars. In Argentina people bought them for trade with foreign countries (like a hat seller I met who bought hare fur from Italy), in Venezuela people bought them as a hedge against inflation. Uncontrolled inflation is the only reason I can imagine bitcoin ever becoming a major currency.
Another way to look at it (with similarities and differences) is that it would be just like any other currency. Dollars are useful in America, Euros are useful in Europe. Each one has their use case, and there is a market to transfer between the two currencies. Similarly, if somehow bitcoin came to be used for daily transactions (buying milk at the store, etc), then there would become markets to trade it for dollars when you need to use dollars for taxes.
Incidentally, technical analysis suggests that Bitcoin is about to rise soon.
The government can't keep people from donating to Wikileaks through bitcoin, or more precisely, they tried to keep people from donating to Wikileaks and couldn't because of bitcoin.
If you were trying to counter either of those points, you did not.
That isn't a function of NAT, it's a function of non-routable IP addresses. If you set up your NAT to route to your internal IP addresses, you can still get hacked.
NAT is no more secure than a firewall and a firewall is simpler and more straightforward.
we would have to believe that she was sophisticated enough at computer security to manage all that hacking, but not enough to know she shouldn't do it on her own laptop connected to the school's LAN.
That seems like a common skill-level among script kiddies. Otherwise why would anyone pay for a RAT?
Slashdot Mirror
Listen, these elections are what you get instead of violent revolution.
This is entirely the point of democracy, and it mostly worked. In Roman times, an ambitious guy like Trump would have tried to raise an army.
and supplied with the very best of everything that money can buy -- except for a decent script.
Kind of weird because you'd think for that kind of money you could get a good script. Also, nice review, you explained it well.
Is that really what the Chinese think about AWS?

the default behavior of NAT is so much safer than the default configurations of firewalls that it is
Nah, that's silly. It's just a matter of how the consumer routers are setup by default. It's nothing innate about ipv6 or NAT.
Not to mention that the Debian packaging tools are already pretty good, so there's little reason to change what works.
If it bothered my I might, but I've been satisfied with their current system for hosting threaded mailing listed discussions. i guess he's just wishing there were a different user interface that would be more convenient?

I've seen plenty of people playing PUBG on mobile on the train, so I am not really sure what they can add with 5G.

We've been doing selective breeding for a long time, this is NOT GMO, and the process cannot produce the same effects and dangers of GMO.
Well that's a lie.

If she wasn't hacking, why does she even know what a RAT is?
It's bizarre that media outlets are obsessed with people playing pranks these days.
They don't have anything else to talk about. Trump is old news these days.
Is the film any good though?

There's a mountain of evidence that the poor spend all their money
The rich spend all their money too. They don't keep it in a vault, you know.
OK, some rich people buy gold and put it in a vault. But some poor people do that, too.

but I've known people who wouldn't be above this kind of behavior if they had the skills to pull it off.
If they had the dedication to develop those kinds of skills, they would probably be above that kind of behavior.

1. Raise Federal minimum wage so the employees can go find other work at the same pay.
Raising minimum wage doesn't trickle up any more than tax cuts at the top trickle down (one of those sides needs the money more, though).
2. Implement Medicare for All so employers no longer fear paying benefits just because they gave somebody 30hr/week.
This is surely an important source of economic friction.
That's good to know.
Open a case with the BBB
Does that do anything?
