Bwhahaha... No security company wants to deal with some jackass that thinks they know all about it but was too fucking stupid to think about how it might interoperate before he started and now he's shocked that people have no interest in dealing with him when he walks in the door telling they run their business wrong?
You guys are a joke. You got all wrapped in vlans and no wifi that you forgot that protecting your home was the point... I'm not sure if that was actually the point or if you guys just wanted to waste a fuckton of money. Your security system was a waste, deal with it
... they're talking about saving a few bucks by not having redundant power supplies, not because a hard disk isn't redundant.
You're devs aren't doing shit with their git repo if your CI machine and environment are down because the power went out, and that killed interop and your big data clones of the production machines you use for integration testing are silent.
You don't need 3 copies of them cause you can rebuild if need be, but you still need the thing to work. The likelihood of a power failure is considerably larger than that of a hard disk failure. You're going to replace the test server to get a faster one before the hard disk fails or some other component that was never redundant anyway.
My current test data set is almost 4TB, and its not even close to a 'large' one here... and you want me to put that in my git repo? Are you that stupid?
As was said elsewhere... you don't do much large size development.
Because a few generators, transfer switches and UPSes are such a large portion of data center costs... Its not like they are outweighed by just a single months power bill or anything in most cases.
I recently canceled my service because I was paying too much for cable... and now you're telling me that APPLE doesn't want to charge enough?
Shrug, congratulations media companies, you just lost to Netflix... AGAIN.
What the fuck will it take to get through your thick ass skulls that we are not going to continue paying for your shitty commercial laden bullcrap. From this point on, I will pay for service or I will watch 1 or 2 commercials per hour, and not if they are mixed into the middle of the show. And I'm not going to pay you some ridiculous sum of money for it. Probably less than a dollar per 'channel', no way in hell I'm giving you more than a dime a month per show I watch, you simply aren't worth it.
So go ahead, try to sell people your spammy wares with little to no content at ridiculous prices. The sooner you die and stop bribing and manipulating to get your way, the sooner we can move on.
HEY HEY HEY now... don't go pointing out how completely clueless someone is being by showing how they could have basically no relationship with each other. How dare you fuck up his pushing of his own retardly formed political agenda with facts or reality. Arsehole.
Its not a simulation, that implies some sort of basis in reality.
This 'simulation' is no more realistic than a simulation in a video game. Its based entirely on made up BS with no actual science behind it. HINT: people calling themselves scientists or people say that are practicing science all the time when they don't know what the word means.
This is fantasy, not science. There used to be an entire cable tv channel devoted to this, now it please Wrestling or something all the time
Its cute... you guys have warped 0-day into something utterly meaningless.
The term was always stupid, you mean 'undisclosed'. It stopped being 0 day 24 hours after it was first discovered, regardless of when you found out about it.
The reality is, unless someone on slashdot was actually writing it, its pretty unlikely you've EVER seen a 0 day exploit.
You guys now days have no experience or clue about what words mean so you just start making shit up and using them in utterly stupid ways.
"Volkswagen has yet to clarify the much larger issue of how it came to outfit some 11 million diesel vehicles to cheat in emissions testing for nitrogen oxide."
WHAT WHAT WHAT?!?!? You mean they aren't using doublespeak and redirection like every other company and politician on the planet?!?!
Oh wait...... They ARE behaving exactly like every other large corp because... WE AREN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING HARMFUL TO THEM.
The officers of the company will walk away clean with big checks, a few low level people have been fired. Thats where it ends.
Congress isn't going to do shit, else a few of the C-level people in VW will just out them on a few of their cocaine binge parties... which means congress backs down like the good little bitch it is.
If you want action, stop voting for democrats and republics.
I'm the architect, so most of my changes require a full recompile.
No. You aren't. An architect isn't writing code. And you'd be a shitty one if you were, since its a pretty shitty time spent if you're waiting for the entire system to compile for changes instead of having a CI system, unit tests and integration tests running on an automated system for you.
Don't try to brag like you're awesome, you're post shows you aren't.
Apple started LLVM due to GPL v3. If you know anything about why they switched, that much is obvious... being that they flat out said thats why they were switching among other things.
No. Thats not the problem the post is referring to.
The reference you're missing is that the rain actually damages the coating on impact when flying at speed.
So the rain literally damages the stealth capabilities of the aircraft. Make a couple flights in the rain and you'll light up like a blinking christmas tree on radar even on a clear sunny day.
And I'll probably still end up voting for her in the general...
Idiot.
Who the hell is running this campaign?
Idiot. Are you voting for the campaign managers or the president?
You almost seem to care about what happens in politics... but then you show that what you care about are the things that don't matter. Why the fuck are you going to vote for the shitty candidate when you know its a shitty candidate that you don't actually want. Thats a waste of a vote. It is better to do something wasteful like a write-in than it is to vote for someone you don't think should be president. Or don't vote at all FFS.
You are not helping by voting for someone you don't approve of, especially since you're approval criteria is based on choice of campaign manager rather that the candidates voting history (the one thing that actually matters)
2. Not getting bailed out next time the gambling backfires
Okay, this one bothers me. While partially true, its unfair the way you have stated it. The recent #2 is a direct result of #5
You realize that the bank 'failures' were not because the banks were actually failing, right? Its because the government changed the laws that governed how much of their assets could be out 'on loan' and how much they actually had in cash so that all the loans they had made recently put them in a situation that was illegal.
It wasn't illegal when they made the deals. The government changed law after the deals but it effected the result of the deals.
Suddenly banks that were perfectly fine and running business properly, making good on all their obligations EXCEPT this one brand new law... were suddenly no longer legally allowed to operate, and governed by a whole other set of laws designed to deal with banks that are actually unable to meet their financial obligations.
So the reason the banks actually failed in the US was not because of the mortgage industry, it was because the government pulled the rug out from under them DUE TO THE BULLSHIT IN THE MORTGAGE INDUSTRY. So back to your number 5... The government said they were insolvent. That ended several large banks for no other reason.
They aren't more usable because anyone who deals with them wants to use their own proprietary format, which they of course work with absolutely no other companies to share or interoperate with.
Until the government steps in and actually does its job, digital records are worthless to the patient.
This is what happens when companies lobby for stupid laws like we have now... things like 'requiring X% of your patients use your patient portal... which means that I don't have a choice any more about my medical records being online... because now every doctor basically FORCES it... so they don't get fined for not having X% using their patient portal...
Instead what happens is I have fucking spammers calling me about my god damn 2 year old son because my pediatricians shitty web portal had less security than swiss cheese and was hacked, of course it also took involving a lawyer to even get them to admit to the fact they had a damn data breech...
And all of this has nothing to do with you getting your records easier, it has to do with companies like AllScrip and its ilk lobbying and buying off congress to get stupid laws passed that do no good to patients but make a fuckton of money for some shitty industry that shouldn't even exist in the first place.
The reason medical records in digital form are useless is the same reason that Obamacare is a big pile of shit. Its not about the people, its about how entrenched corporations can make more money faster by making you a customer that doesn't have a choice in being a customer, you are required to buy their service no matter how shitty it is.
Its like your ISP except worse. You can choose to simply not have an ISP. You can not choose to not have your medical records online and you can not choose to not pay for bad insurance.
Or you do all that on the moon and beam it back via microwave accepting that the massive losses from using microwave transmission are still far better than the massive losses associated with moving mass.
Moving mass requires lots of energy. Moving energy is free, it moves on its own, stopping it from moving is actually the problem.
And the broken state of America's political system is due to idiots like you that think 'the other team' is the problem. Both teams suck, including whichever one you worship.
On one side, we have Smart Meters, which are evil, and intended to provide differential rates do that the electric utility can pay you less for the solar you generate than the non-solar you consume, so they get paid the same amount, as when you didn't have solar, and it saves their antique business model...
Let me show you the multiple ways you're a nut job, and pay attention because the best one is last...
They don't get to give you different rates because you're using solar, so your conspiracy theory is bunk. They (in every state I've lived in) are legally mandated to buy back power at the rate they sell it at, so changing the price doesn't really help them.
So if they lower it during the day, then businesses pay less for power and you make less back on your solar power, but the power company makes far less because the change in price from your dinky little solar operation is nothing compared to the millions of people consuming power in businesses during the day... which they'll lose WAY more on due to any decrease they come up with in order to 'stick it' to solar power users.
It actually loses them more money than their 'antique' business model... which, btw, they've been doing since before you were born or solar powered electricity was even a glimmer in someones eye... so its pretty hard to draw the conclusion that they differential rates are based on if you have solar or not...
And then draw in that the smart meters in question are just making it so they don't have to have a meter maid come read the meters... If you wanted to just rip people off for solar, a simple clock would be effective enough and have it not only count total KWH, but do rating at the time of usage to account for lower prices during the day
And the best for last part:
Electricity costs MORE during the day, when you would be generating solar power, not less. Electricity is cheaper at night (in most areas)...
But hey... don't let reality make you look stupid, you're doing fine on your own.
You're only confused because you're a paranoid nut job.
Unless something is done now, this trespass will continue to the point where a Windows machine is basically an endpoint belonging to advertisers, intel gatherers, and potentially malware authors.
Just sayin' what? That you're entirely too literal and missed the point because while you're trying ridiculously to show us how smart you are... you weren't even smart enough to realize that an analogy isn't meant to be 100% factually accurate and is instead intended to convey a point? Is that what ya'r say'n?
That sound you hear? Thats the other slashdotters laughing at you as if you... kind of like the other riders you refer to.
Near Earth orbit and Mars insertion are two ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THINGS. Just because are fast in a swimming pool... doesn't mean you have dick of a chance in a bike race with the same people.
Sure, because you're looking at some faux value in a 'stock market' that you think has actual meaning and value.
The reality of it is that a single incident can drive Tesla stock to be worthless (and I don't mean anything related to the actual cars either).
If you measure success by the stock market, you're an idiot. The stock market is a measure of how well scammers can get stupid people to buy virtual pieces of paper (they don't even use real stock certificates anymore) as if it had some meaning or value. Stocks are a great con game, company value has nothing to do with winners and losers when you play the stock market, it has to do with dumb and dumber, and how to get those people to buy stocks so you can make money from nothing.
Tesla's position in the stock market is a direct result of idiots like you who think they are valuable and buy virtual pieces of paper that have the companies name on it. Thats it. When that fad dies, Tesla will have to stand on its own, at which point it will succeed or fail. If you did that right now, it'd implode nearly instantly.
Tesla still would not exist without ongoing subsidies. Long term SURVIVAL, not profit is the point of those subsidies. Take everything they get away today, they go under within a year. Thats not really successful by most peoples definition of the word.
Wrong. You are assuming too much. They've marketed that number at you.
saying that the proportion of readers using ad blockers dropped from 23% to the single digits when faced with the choice to turn off the software or pay.
They didn't say those people turned off their ad blockers and they didn't say those people paid for a subscription.
What they said was that 'when you can't view our site with an ad blocker, people with ad blockers stopped viewing our site'... meaning they probably just lost all of those readers completely. They simply no longer bother viewing the site at all.
And the fact that they lost all those readers is why they are now suing.
They cut off their nose to spite their face and it worked nearly flawlessly, now they're suing the guy who made the knife because they just now realized the actual effect their actions were going to have.
This isn't something new for them, they've always been right at the front of saying: 'Yes, here are the ways you get direct access to our system'
Its been noted in several slashdot articles in the past, mostly revolving around how they actively support oppressive governments spying on citizens and suppression of free speech by monitoring and disappearing violators.
