What is even more pertinent is who the hell hacked them and more to the point why?
It looks like it was just standard hacking that we see going on every time a new exploit gets released. When there's a new exploit, the whole internet gets probed.
There is a market for this kind of user info, and that's probably where it will get dumped.
I hope you are right, because if you are, then there will never be a DRM plugin that becomes popular. The market will be fragmented and not work very well, which is exactly what we want.
Some of the emergency phones are still there along the highway, but they all stopped working a few years back when the analog cell network shut down. No one really cared enough to upgrade them.
We're talking about uploading a bunch of static files here, it's not rocket science. Despite the potential for problems, it's still better than running Wordpress straight. Obviously it would be better if this capability were built directly into Wordpress, but obviously it's not (unless you disagree with that point).
Anyway I'll be experimenting with this because I think it's such a good idea. It should work with large data sets, and the code required to implement it should be short.
Yeah, you linked to a blog to refute a peer reviewed paper that came out after the blog was written. Don't do that.
btw regarding your earlier post about eruptions, anomalous solar minimums, aerosols, water vapor, etc, those are all included in the "internal variation" category of the paper (for example, the model takes into account solar cycles, but of course they are not necessarily going to happen at the same time in the model as in reality. The difference between reality and the model's prediction of solar cycles is the internal variation). The probability that all those factors combined are the explanation for the model deviation is very low.
Good news! This will help the children, along with everyone else,
That's what you want me to believe. You haven't done deep economic analysis on the topic, and you probably haven't even investigated it enough to figure out what mitigations will actually hurt the children more than they'll help them.
Every mitigation has a cost: at what point is the cost more expensive than the problem it fixes? You don't know, and your comment was entirely made from ignorance. You'd be a good politician though, so keep it up.
By not joining the PCCA the US has screwed itself. Screwed itself out of an opportunity to create jobs and technology,
Well, you're talking like a politician now. All you have to do is add, "and it will help the children! Please think of the children!" and you'll have the standard political argument.
Seriously, anytime someone says, "you should do this to create jobs, technology, for the environment, the children, and you'll get a pony [add your own thing here]" you know they are full of bullshit.
I find it interesting that in Germany this seems like a novel idea. In America, we are taught this in schools. I was shown a cartoon of various treats attacking teeth. I was warned a lot against the dangers of sugar to my teeth at a young age.
FYI your link doesn't mention gum disease, the data it presents is only correlated with cavities.
As an alternate data point, my dentist has traveled throughout the world doing charity work (and still does every year or so), and he says that for people on traditional diets, he sees a drop in cavities, but not in gum disease. YMMV.
Dentists are quick to assume that the mouth bacteria causes heart disease, but I've never seen that hypothesis tested anywhere. It seems more reasonable to me that when a person has heart disease, their body is weakened in general, and the body's resistance to gum disease is weakened as well.
*shrug* It's kind of the problem that every web company everywhere faces. In the worst case, you could keep a local copy, write a script to check for changes against your new revision, then upload anything that changed.
I'm willing to bet AWS has some support for something like this too, but I'll have to verify later when I have time to play around with this problem.
Release it under AGPL. If anyone wants a more permissive license (that is, if they don't want to release their own source code), then charge them for that.
LZO does similar things, but also has some enhancements over the open source version. The open source version is still very good.
Regulatory filings show the three Equifax executives — Chief Financial Officer John Gamble, U.S. Information Solutions President Joseph Loughran and Workforce Solutions President Rodolfo Ploder — completed stock sales on Aug. 1 and 2.
I'd believe that none of them thought about the data leak in terms of stock price, and that isn't why they sold, but on the other hand I don't really care if they get punished because of this, either.
Ask any programmer: "When was the last time you had a sprint to look at security? When was the last time your manager gave you extra time on a task to make sure it was secure?" The answer is always "never."
Pat Robertson made his run while I was in diapers, so I don't have any clue what the talk was in the churches here in Georgia, nor what was being said on the radio at the time, nor how my parents and siblings viewed that nomination.
Wow, thanks, I'm glad you gave me a declaration of your own ignorance.
Georgia......Trump, however, was a pretty popular pitch.
Is there any scenario you can think of where Georgia would have gone for Hillary? Those churches were pissing in the echo chamber.
Religious non-profits have never had enough influence to elect a candidate. If they did, then Mike Huckabee would be president, and Pat Robertson before him.
Let's be honest, in a country of this size, your vote is only worth about 1/150,000,000 even if the electoral college is gone.
If you want real power, real power comes from convincing people to vote on your side. That's what Trump did, and he somehow did it rather well.

They can't both be full of bullshit,
Really? Are you sure that's a position you want to commit to?
Opposing politicians are always full of bullshit. It's part of the job.

That's a really good point.
You didn't even look at the link, did you?
I've read enough realclimate.org to know it's just a blog, about as good as wattsupwiththat in quality.
Thank you! You would make a terrible politician,
Best compliment I've had all day.

Oh, I read it wrong, and you're right, that is nothing. It's enough to buy a few vending machines on ebay and experiment with them at a few locations.
Given the type of business they're trying to create, that's not actually very much at all.
Unless they've already tried it at a small scale in a few places, then $2.5 billion looks like they are scaling too quickly.
By not joining the PCCA the US has screwed itself. Screwed itself out of an opportunity to create jobs and technology,

As an alternate data point, my dentist has traveled throughout the world doing charity work (and still does every year or so), and he says that for people on traditional diets, he sees a drop in cavities, but not in gum disease. YMMV.
Here's a summary of the research. A connection has been found between gum disease and heart disease.
Dentists are quick to assume that the mouth bacteria causes heart disease, but I've never seen that hypothesis tested anywhere. It seems more reasonable to me that when a person has heart disease, their body is weakened in general, and the body's resistance to gum disease is weakened as well.

React is is JavaScript wrapping HTML. Vue is easy to understand because it wraps HTML with JS.
So.......they are both Javascript wrapping html? Is that what you mean?

You can say that again.
