I think backups are surprisingly likely to fail. Just like RAID is surprisingly likely to have more than one disk fail at a time, even though intuitively that seems extremely unlikely.
For example? If you find something that's exploitable you can get paid for it, you know.
There's one bug that gives a warning if you compile it. Because it hasn't been fixed, I know crappy Android developers aren't even checking their warnings. More generally, I get annoyed at all the giant refactors for no particularly good reason.
But many other security bugs are ultimately the result of miscommunication, and the opportunities for that increase as the number of people working on a project increases.
Sounds like Google has improperly partitioned developers into silos. Oh yeah, that brings up another problem I have with Android: in some places, the documentation sucks and the metaphors aren't well-thought out. Which of course, leads to more refactoring when things get uncomfortable. What a heaping mess of stink. Oh yeah, and the build process starts with a giant 'find' command. What a joke. Don't even get me started on repo, I hate that thing. Oh yeah, and adb.......sysdeps_win32.cpp wtf. Who on earth taught them to do cross-platform development like that? And the whole ADB design is wrong, how many types of sockets are there? A smart-socket is a dumb idea. If you want to see how to do device communication, look at what Apple did. They have a beautiful design on that section. I will say the lockless algorithm in adb is quite nice. Kudos to whoever did that one. In short, the problems in Android come from poor design, and poor division of labor (not mapping to the underlying problem), not from the raw number of developers. You are right that more lines of code means more chances for mistakes, but that is not the dominating factor.
I think it's better than iOS, for example,
I've spent a lot of time working at the low levels of both Android and iOS and I am certain this is true.
According to their website, the power density is significantly higher than lithium ion, and the cost is less than lithium ion. It says they haven't solved all the manufacturing problems, but expect them to be worked out in a year or so (they have funding).
So then......what sort of bugs are getting by these 'conscientious developers' (I'm seriously doubting that tbh, I've seen a lot of crap in Android osp. But it's good at least at a management level you are pushing these things)? It is true that Android is big, but that's not an excuse for insecurity, because there are a lot of people working on it, also.
Security is not something that can be tacked on as an afterthought, it has to be designed in from the beginning. If programmers don't worry about security, if managers don't give time in a sprint to do a security check, then your software will have more and more security holes.
The news is not the size of the crowd but the fact the President can't accept a fact contrary to his personal narrative and move on. It's more important that the a hit to the man's ego is assuaged than something of substance be done.
Nah, it was something that came up to distract from the women's marches. And it worked: the next day Trump had pushed news of the women's march out of top place on all the major news sites. This does a good job demonstrating the technique.
No, those are not mutually exclusive actions - we need BOTH. Even if no protest changes his mind on anything - the protests are galvanizing and uniting the opposition and allowing us all to keep each other energised and motivated. And that is going to be decisive
I doubt it, protesting is too emotional. Protestors aren't going to be able to keep up their energy for the next two years until the next election.
Incidentally, there's a fun quote at the bottom of the page right now:
"This generation may be the one that will face Armageddon." -- Ronald Reagan, "People" magazine, December 26, 1985
What this appears to be a is an attempt to solidify his power. Come 2020, perhaps the election will be cancelled or the result rejected because of imaginary voter fraud
Seriously, this "cancel the election" line again? Don't remember when everyone was saying the same thing about Bush?
For more information, the airlines are running on TPF from IBM. IBM still updates it, so it's not ancient, and it runs on beefy modern hardware. IBM claims it's extremely stable, fwiw. However, the airlines have built up a lot of systems around it, like their online booking services, for example, and they have some middleware that they seem to have written themselves to interface with TPF. The middleware and front end systems seem to have synchronization issues.
Those are good questions. What have you seen in Trumps actions (and words) that would give you an indication one way or another? That is the kind of analysis that starts to get interesting.
I used to think that way too. But intelligent people dispassionately analyzed his policy statements during the election, and arrived at two conclusions:
1. The few concrete policy statements he made, would never work. (Ex: Building a wall, tax plans, etc.)
Here's the thing. You didn't even read what he said. Here it is again. If you don't want to read it, that's fine, but be aware that if you don't, you're not contributing to the conversation, you're detracting from it.
2. He made so few coherent statements that it was hard to figure out what his policy objectives are.
That might have been an excuse during the election, but actions speak louder than words, and it's pretty clear that he meant some of the words he said during the election. Do you really think he didn't mean it when he said he would block Muslim countries from coming into the US? Or that he wouldn't build the wall?
I'll be honest, I didn't particularly take him seriously during the election, but at this point, it's a lot easier to see what his policy objects are because he's actually implementing them.
Hillary's speech about this was right on the money. She said all of us will now, if we're smart, will try to support good policies that he proposes and oppose bad ones
Yeah, I really wish we were more focused on the policies. Here is what Trump said about his recent executive order. Instead of just calling him a big baby, or racist, or narcissistic whatever, I'd like to see some actual analysis of his policies. For example, here are some questions worth discussing:
1) Is there a better to way to keep terrorists from entering the country? Is that a worthy goal? How would you do it?
2) Is Trump aware of the problems he's caused to some immigrants stuck in the airport? (I think the answer is yes)
3) Will immigration really resume in ~90 days, when "we are sure we have reviewed and implemented the most secure policies?"
At this point there's no reason to continue hating on Trump. Yes, he seems rather despicable, but dispassionately analyzing goals and policy objectives will be more effective (the protests are falling on deaf ears).
If you go to her web page (which does look rather impressive), it has the imposing slogan, "She Fought the Alt-Right and Won." Did she? Presumably she fought against gamergate (is that the alt-right?), did she win? It seems like the FBI is saying that nothing needed to be done.
Typing letters, doing a spreadsheet, desktop publishing is not the unique, selling point, must have product that has to work between management and staff.
Excel is unique and there's not really a replacement for it.

I don't know about that, it's actually pretty tough to get through the Google job interview.
Finding blame for a bug is often rather difficult, because it involves a combination of commits from different people.
Security is not something that can be tacked on as an afterthought, it has to be designed in from the beginning. If programmers don't worry about security, if managers don't give time in a sprint to do a security check, then your software will have more and more security holes.
But it might help inspire other women in abusive relationships. So it's worth mentioning anyway.
No, you're ok: in the Bay Area it's fine to be racist against Indians.
A number of articles like this one in the last quarter, saying that activity trackers don't improve health, could also have had an impact.
Population explosion.......our military leaders consider it the number one threat to American security
Really? Seriously? This post is for you.

Yeah, that's a much better post, keep it up. We need more rational people like you.

Sain bainoo, friend.
The problem with second life sems to be that if you let people build whatever they want, they invariably build cocks.

Though I do wonder if the drop is because people are using *alternatives* to Excel and not replacements.
That's an interesting thought, could be.
Typing letters, doing a spreadsheet, desktop publishing is not the unique, selling point, must have product that has to work between management and staff.
Excel is unique and there's not really a replacement for it.
Tantrums? You mean like the one Trump threw when less people showed up for his inauguration than Obama's?
It's worth mentioning that as a strategy, he was able to get the media entirely focused on that, and off the women's march. See for example.
