These Chinese are already doing it (anti-sat missiles), and most likely the Russians have warheads parked in orbit as well. Rick, you're professing your ignorance on this topic. All that this administration did was clear the air and tell the truth and stop pussy footing around. Super Powers are dominating all domains of access because of a single universal truth of the human condition - humanity is governed by the aggressive use of force. That's not a statement for how it should be, rather reflecting on the reality for what it is.
Duh! Of course. It's the natural state of mankind. Anywhere you have consolidated power, the MO of those within that power is to ensure it's both maintained and limited to just themselves. That means authoritarianism and oppression. None of this is new, and in fact 100% to be expected. It's literally coded in our DNA.
Because anything that involves solving AGW is tantamount to authoritarianism as implemented via socialism/Communism (wealth redistribution AKA "carbon credits"). So yeah, I much prefer the world burn than be subjected to that bullshit!
Future is Asian and African at the current rate, and with it, we as species will likely purge the current pathological weaknesses of Western culture that appear to have taken hold of many European phenotype carriers within a few tens of generations, and get back on track being the unashamed frontrunners of the evolutionary race on this planet.
Not if Islam rapes and pillages its way back to the dark ages in Europe and Africa. So while I agree with your assessment of the current pathological weaknesses of Western Culture, what you're in fact advocating for is jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Hey, that's an upgrade compared to how the Obamacare bill was written. That cluster-fuck of legislation was DESIGNED to fail, so we fall back on single payer. Don't be surprised if a similar scheme is crafted to ultimately render anonymity illegal.
With the exception of God Almighty, I trust NO ONE in power!
LOL, right, because only Democrat voters are allowed to destroy mob and destroy property. When Republican leaning votors stop it, it's "fascism".
Fascism is totalitarianism. In fact, fascism is fascism, while communism (Marxism / Leninism) is fascism too. A lot of people wrongly think that institutionalized communism (not to be confused with anarcho-communism) can't be a fascism, but they're wrong.
Fact is, these violent "liberal" are on the wrong side of history - just like the Nazis and Communists before them.
I disagree. It's not about "tech". It's an organizational / human problem. Once orgs and corps cut corner on cost and reduce accountability, that's when security enforcement and implementation of newer standards and procedures lapses. Eventually, information leaks like a sieve and SHTF after the fact.
Essentially, just because security is good now doesn't it mean it will remain so. Likewise, a shitty network can be overhauled with proper funding and skills. Unfortunately, it's easier to regress than progress in security. Don't let it lapse
Apple is designing their own CPU as a replacement for Intel/AMD for the OSX platform. I'd go so far as to say at some point OSX is a dead-end only to be superseded by a fork in iOS for desktop. My point is that it's trivial to find a head-hunter to nab an iOS game dev to code Metal for AutoDesk or some other professional product. Again, big enterprise software vendors will not suffer a financial dent paying a higher salary dev that can code Metal. The numbers are there to make the effort a net gain in profit.
Bitch and moan all you want about standards, but if the market can support 1000+ API standards, well, a 1000+ API standard we will have. How long they last is another argument entirely.
Mainstream support for Office 2016 ends in October 2020. At that time, all communication for Outlook 2016 will stop working with Hosted Exchange via Office 365.
Office 2019 will only be compatible with Windows 10.
Ergo, for the Wintel environment that relies on Office 365 for hosted Exchange, you **MUST** upgrade to Windows 10 w/ Office 2019 prior to October 2020.
At best, it's for triage to assign priority. So, more like a glorified voice activated filter for the real level 2 and 3 support with actual humans answering the call.
The last thing I'm going to do is make a phone call to support. But when I do, and the fact I work in IT, all of my calls will be level 3. Because I'm a level 3 myself! Don't waste my fucking time with your shitty AI
You get what you pay for. If companies want cheap IT support, they'll get cheap IT support. Sometimes cheap is all you need. But more often, specifically in the MSP industry that works with small to medium businesses, the business owners get tired of that bullshit and hire locally.
Nothing is ideal, and everything is a trade off. You get better benefits and paid certification when working for a fortune 500. But, it's cold a ruthless environment; absolutely soulless. SMB market is a struggle and fast-paced. But, at least there's satisfaction to be had after a hard 60+ hour work week.
Or use a fire extinguisher to trash the box. DevOps get a new box, performance is increased, and backup restores are tested. Everyone's happy. Well, except for the department that has to foot the bill. But that's someone elses problem:)

I can guarantee you that Beltway 8 around Houston was paid off LONG AGO. But, it's still a toll road, and tolls keep going up.
Toll roads just subsidize the rest of public infrastructure, or so that's what I'm told.

Oh, I'm sure it will be the 4rd most expensive item soon right under a mortgage, student loan, and car loan.

and in danger obsoletion
I've got news for you - Humanity is in danger of being obsolete. It's the cycle of life as it has been on Planet Earth.
Single cell organism --> Multi-cellular organism --> AI thinking MACHINES leveraging more elements on the periodic table!!!
THAT is your evolutionary path.

There's a lot of game developers for Metal if they're coding for iOS. If anything, this makes it easier to code for OSX too, no?

Plan your IT budget accordingly.
Limited RAM supply you say? HEY, I'VE GOT A GREAT IDEA!!! Let's create a new crypto-currency where the more RAM you have, the more you can mine......

Pick your poison.
At some point, Apple will deprecate local Time Machine backups. It will be all cloud based. The MBP will become a gloried iDevice!
