Just pick a name of someone who's a big name in security and not likely to turn whistleblower-- like someone on this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Then at least if you start getting harassed, you can presume they are too...
And for that matter, the documentation on the old stuff may not be up to par either, which could explain the other side of that coin, why the "new talent doesn't want to work on the old (badly documented) stuff."
It makes me wonder if the documentation produced by "agile" development may not be up to par-- and the real problem is thus not "old talent" but newly-added-on talent that hasn't grown up with the product and therefore didn't aquire the understanding of it as it was being developed.
Yes. Keep in mind that services like this can end up taking advantage of your parents. And it's likely to get worse as they get older. There'll likely be a point they won't be able to use the computer at all, much less maintain it. As they get older they may start getting befuddled at basic operation they knew how to handle before. At some point it just gets too difficult, best be ready for that possibility. Paying bills can be a problem. And watch out for sharks all too ready to step in and take advantage-- especially with offers of investments that pay better returns. Scams designed to take advantage of trusting or befuddled older people are big business...
Every GMO sold in the U.S. has undergone extensive pre-market safety testing. What specifically about this process do you feel to be deficient. Especially in light of the fact that many other tools, such as random mutagenesis via radiation, do not require any pre-market testing depite having actually made people sick (unlike any GMO in the last 20 years).
You pick up the torch, and I'll pick up the pitchfork. GMO LABELLING IS NOT JUST ABOUT SAFETY. What's "deficient" is knowledge of which products are using a technology that people object to on, for example, the grounds that Monsanto's use of patented GMO crops are polluting neighbor small farmers who are then inadvertently find themselves in trouble for patent infringement. Another reason is people don't like new technologies forced on them whether they like it or not. And I'm sure there are other reasons people have for not wanting GMOs. So I'll say it again, GMO LABELLING IS NOT JUST ABOUT SAFETY.
If there's nothing to hide, there's no reason NOT to label if people want it. What's "confusing" is not to label it and leave people wondering. And in fact we see there IS something to hide. They know if they label GMOs some people won't buy them because of it. I can tell you though, if I see two products on the shelf and one says "non-GMO," THAT'S the one I'm buying.
Might they have been secretly compelled to provide the customer list to the FBI? At this point no doubt the spooks would consider anyone who wanted one as "suspicious".
Remember when this was supposed to be a free country? The "home of the brave"? Those were the days, eh?
I 3D print from time to time but I use one of the mail order services. They provide far more material and printer options, and have the in-house expertise to keep them operating smoothly. If they make a bad print it's their problem, and they'll make another. For me it's been far more cost effective and simpler than buying my own, which is guaranteed to become obsolete in short order.
So now these guys have just proved that you can affect people's preferences for junk food in a video game? Perfect plan by an ad agency ready to collect on the scheme from junk food companies. Now we'll be seeing all kinds of pro-junk-food themed video games...
I predict next winter is going to be colder than next summer.
Now tell me I just made that up out of thin air.
Also, no one in the 1970s predicted we'd be in an ice age right now, that's actually a good example of something that was "made up". If you disagree, provide a citation.
This sort of thing is why the "skeptics" are generally considered a bunch of complete ignorami by anyone with a brain.
Why bother, the guy clearly doesn't know the difference between weather and climate, and why climate is far easier to predict than weather. I suspect your boiling water example is even more arcane than weather/climate and probably went right over his head...
It violates the KISS principle. From my understanding of it, Agile is an attempt to pipeline the development process. A good idea in principle, but except for me (one time hardware guy turned systems guy then app guy), the entire rest of the team's history are application programmers, QA and doc people who wouldn't know a pipeline if they were flushed down it. So it ends up being a mini waterfall every sprint, because that's as much as they're able to comprehend.
I also have to agree but for different reasons. What I've experienced is Agile as excuse for micromanagement. Projects take much longer than they used to because we now agonize in meeting after meeting over details that used to be left to the developer to decide. Agile is a recipe for managing programmers fresh out of college perhaps, but most I work with aren't those, and they work better when you trust them with more of the detais and have management worry about the bigger pictures instead...
Given the paper's subject matter was gender bias, isn't it legitimate to expect they get opinions from both genders in the process? How do we know the paper itself isn't gender biased? That's like a paper saying that African American's experiences are invalid, written by only white authors-- wouldn't a valid critique of that be that they might want to include some opinions from African Americans?

That's not the IRS, that's a scammer trying to scare you into sending them a check. The IRS doesn't "call"...

Expect smog check stations to be checking the version number of the software on the car via the OBD-II port and fail it if it's not been patched...

On the vast majority of sites the comments are the only parts worth reading.
Or for that matter, your IP address. They won't always be right, but often enough they'll be able to sell the data to advertisers.
Any site that knows your email, and where that email is the same one you use on Facebook, can give FB what they need to connect the dots.
i don't care if it takes 5 minutes to get up to 60mph, what I want is a 400 mile range.

So then what will politicians, salesmen and Kickstarter campaigns ever do with themselves? Just remain silent? Maybe that's not a bad thing...

Isn't this a bit like setting the clock ahead 10 minutes so you won't be late to appointments?
The prediction that next winter will be colder than next summer at least in the US has been essentially reliable for hundreds of years.

Aren't there a couple of spigots somewhere that Verizon and AT&T need to turn off now?
