It sounds like there were a ton of things that happened. Everything from poor flight control design, single sensor for a stall recovery system, poor oversight, regulatory mistakes, and pilot training that all contributed to the crashes. It doesn't make sense that at some point in the whole process no-one said "you know this is a bad idea to have a single sensor for a safety system that causes the plane to nosedive to avoid a stall." The fact that the FAA approved the plane with that design is appalling.
We DEMAND 72 hour mandatory reporting of security breaches that result in loss of customer data. Stop telling us nothing bad will happen to our data. You bastard companies are completely unable to protect almost anything and the government is even worse at it. At least we are learning about it now. I read something awhile back where a breach took them 14 years to discover...
I first had Excite @home. They went bankrupt and sold it all to AT&T, which then sold it to Comcast.
AT&T had the best customer service of the 3. Comcast had the fastest speeds and reliability, but was the most expensive and has the worst support on the planet. Expect to waste 1 to 6 hours on the phone trying to get something simple fixed. When something goes wrong with your connection you'll take weeks working with them to resolve it.
I've on Cable One now. Great speeds most of the time. Usually reliable though recently they've been having some issues. Great price! ($55 for 100mbit no taxes/fees. The bill is actually $55). I've never really used their customer service though. Anytime I've had issues I've called and the automated system said they were having problems in my area and I hung up and awhile later it would be fixed. I have heard it's not great though.
Yeah that will get you a lawsuit and probably a loss.
"That HR person was so inadequate in handling the case. Her job is to protect management the whole time."
Again for anyone thinking otherwise HR is not there for you.
What happened here is not new and will happen again and again. These 'new' companies are making the exact same mistakes as the previous ones. That paperwork is because of messups like this.
Exactly!
HR is typically there to protect the company. While it is often in their best interest to protect employees (i.e avoiding lawsuits) that really is secondary and when there is a conflict it's the employee that will lose.
It's great to see where this technology is going. You've got so many players now in the self-driving vehicles as well as hybrid and electric vehicles. I'm happy to see Ford jump in on this with both feet even if they are a little late to the game. Riding in a vehicle will be a much safer experience when humans aren't the ones driving.
You could potentially get yourself in legal trouble if you actively try to sabotage the new workers in that way. Teaching someone else to do something wrong that damages the company on purpose isn't much of a stretch from you doing the damage yourself.
Some unions are worthless. There are many that are corrupt. I was a member of a teaching union and watched how they threw adjuncts under the bus to help tenures who only made up 25% of their membership. Their main goal seemed to be to create conflict between the faculty and administration. They would support you if you ever had an issue with administration but pretty much not in any other way.
I would buy a smart gun if it shown to be reliable. Also many gun owners have firearms that are not intended to be used for hunting or protection. In fact I'd say most gun owners with large collections that is the case. They use the bulk of their weapons for target shooting, competition, or as show pieces. I'd have no issues at all with a gun I mainly use at the range being a smart gun even if the tech isn't 100%.
Now a weapon I plan to carry or use in my home for defense would be another matter and I'd have to see for myself one would be reliable enough for that setting.
I would very much hope that Juniper act publicly in this matter. Companies who are truly not in the feds pockets need to stand up for themselves. It's insane that it is even remotely legal for government agencies to do some of the things that are going on. However, you can bet if the person who did this did so because a government agency instructed him to do so that this will get covered up.
When you have companies like Cisco altering shipping practices in the hopes of not having their gear intercepted and altered and Juniper will hard coded back doors how can you trust these companies products? These companies are their reputations brutalized and they can't do much about it because the main perpetrators are agencies like the NSA. I'd love to start seeing these companies sue the government for lost sales due to lost of trust in the security of their products.
Exactly. It would have done no damage, but the rulers of the firefighters decided to be assholes and overreact like little whiny children in order to cause a problem to get attention. They acted like five year-olds screaming for mommy. These Republicans are destroying society. They hate us, and their kind refuses to do their job. We pay them a lot to fight fires, but instead they bitch and refuse to do their jobs. Their kind makes me want to die.
Do you have any experience fighting fires? Have you ever flown a plane or jet? If not SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU SOUND LIKE A FUCKING MORON!
I think there is definitely an issue with the vendors not updating their phones. One issue being that most operating system updates are done by the OS manufacturer. Many Android users don't pay attention to updates so they aren't about to ask their carrier why their phone hasn't updated. I know from personal experience with my Galaxy 4S on AT&T that they keep it updated far better than Verizon does for the same phone. My GF is several versions behind on both her tablet and Galaxy 4S.
This just seems like an easier solution if Google deals with the updates instead of the providers. That is how it works with almost every other OS out there.
Only libtards vote against rolling out human progress.
That doesn't even make any sense. Try actually contributing to an article with some actual feedback and not some BS troll. Where was there even a vote discussed in the story?
Agreed. While there are many that may not agree with some of his vision he has shown to be an impressive businessman. He currently controls two of the most advanced companies in emerging technologies in the world. Tesla is moderately successful and shows lot's of promise. Space X is the top private space company and may be soon flying astronauts to the ISS. None of their competitors are even close to that.
We need more people in business that are not all about the almighty buck. There needs to be risk for there to be innovation. Maybe he can show others that being open and working towards a competitive environment will be better for all involved.
I won't discount though that there is plenty of self-serving interest with this announcement. That isn't a bad thing. Tesla gets help while making it easier for others to compete and the electric car market gets a huge boost.
I've invested way too much time to movies and books to not see laser communications, to at the very least, to the moon in my lifetime. There are many authors that have enjoyed my 25 cents or less of royalties they received that should finally be vindicated by including laser based communications in their books!

I have one domain hosted with Network Solutions. While they are more expensive than many others I've been pretty happy with the service I've received. I've never had problems with their website and I've always found it easy to navigate. As a consumer, I talk with my wallet since that is the only thing companies car about. I'll be moving my domain to another provider. It's sad when companies do stuff like this. How the hell does this stuff get approved?
I haven't owned a console since the NES. I've always been a PC gamer. I rarely play games with a anything other than a keyboard and mouse. I'm honestly impressed at what they have come up with. I'll seriously consider buying a steam machine once they are readily available. I think Valve has done a great job so far. It will be very interesting to see if it is successful and see what the competition does in response.
The last couple of guys who did the election fraud thing... Got to be president.
And this one goes to jail?
Talk about double standards...
I guess his mistake was he was smalltime.. You have to go HUGE if you're going into crime. Then you're too big to fail!
Where is your proof of that claim that there was election fraud in the last presidential election?
Once again some AC spouting crap with nothing to back it up.
Let me guess, you read it on Facebook so it must be true.
Yet another American deprived of his right to a trial. No doubt they would have tried to send him to prison for a decade or more if he decided to exercise his rights.
A year in prison is probably a fair outcome if the story is as described. But he deserves to have a jury decide that, and not face absurd amounts of time in prison if he wants a jury trial.
He chose not to fight the charges. He was not deprived of his right to a trial. He could of plead not guilty.
How about maybe he felt bad about what he did and actually plead guilty because he is in fact guilty.
Maybe he decided to actually take personal responsibility for his actions and acknowledge in a court of law that what he did was wrong.
Since your not his lawyer all you can do is speculate on his reasons for pleading guilty.
The interesting question... is Hetzner sloppy about security, more so than it's competitors, or are they actually more vigilant and/or more forthcoming about breaches?
I have the uncomfortable hunch that we do not hear about a lot of breaches at all the cloud sevices/hosters out there.
My real fear is that it's not because of willful lack of reporting of the breeches, but that the breeches are going on completely undetected that we aren't hearing more about them.
I've used AMD hardware for years for the main reason that sockets don't change often.
On my old system I upgraded through 4 different CPUs while still using the same motherboard up to the 6 core I run now.
About a year ago I replaced everything except the CPU and video card, with the intent of upgrading the CPU when the next gen AMDs come out.
I run multiple systems and have upgraded just the CPU or just the motherboard on several over the years.
I was seriously considering moving to Intel when I get a new system since AMD is having a hard time of keeping their performance in-line with Intel.
I can tell you I definitely won't be doing that now. I spend thousands on computer gear every year and at least for the time being it will continue to go towards CPUs, GPUs, and Chipsets made by AMD.
Any MMO that explores a genre that isn't heavily saturated in the market is a very good thing. Do you really want another fantasy MMO. Eve is great but we really don't need another game like it. It has it's niche and serves that niche very well.
Gamers should be rejoicing that there is something new in a genre that hasn't seen a decent online game in years. It may suck it may not, but at least it's not another WoW clone.
Is balancing the game around PvP a good thing? There isn't a single person on slashdot that knows for sure if it will be a boon or a bust. I just don't understand why JGE seems to get so maligned. If this was a fantasy MMO that was announcing it was being balanced towards PvP slashdot would probably be rejoicing.
I completely agree.
If your a full linux shop and money for server software is an issue than OpenLDAP or something similar may be a good solution.
However, with windows clients in the mix you should definitely stick with AD. Just about anything will interface with AD in some manner. Also there is far far greater support for AD then your going to find with any of the other directory services out there right now.
