Skype uses ports ports 80 and 443 to avoid possible blockage, or throttling, of segregated ports. It also uses them to ease necessary proxy configuration in environments that force man-in-the-middle monitoring of all outbound traffic. This particularly includes China, where dealing with the Great Firewall of China is particularly important.
That could be what was meant. If so, I'd like to clarify the language. I'm not sure what phrase would be more clear. There were some older theories of planetary formation that included extrusions happening from stellar passby's, but those have been almost entirely discarded.
Is there any supportable theory of planetary or stellar evolution in which a planet sized object could be "ejected by a star" ? Even stars such as neutron stars, struck by other neutron stars, would eject matter so unstable without the stellar mass of the neutron star that it would explode into gas during its departure from either host star. While larger atoms such as gold have been detected after neutron star collisions, It's unclear that anything like a planet could form from the ejecta.
I've seen humor in code comments that I've had to delete, or insist on deletion, at code reviews. It's sometimes very rudely personal, and thus unprofessional or even embarrassing if the subject of the humor ever sees it.
A bit of clever humor, and especially a clever metaphor, can be helpful to understand the original code. But saying "Duh!" all the time in one's code would simply be insulting to the later reviewers.
Buckminster Fuller published notes about theoretical possibilities of living eternally, even if entropy is irreversible. He suggested a form of suspended existence where where increasingly short moments of conscious existence would occur interspersed among increasingly long periods of zero entropy generating suspension. The notes were _fascinating_, I'll post them or a link to them if I can find them.
I'm afraid that "The edge" won't have the collected data from all the other devices used to tune systems such as speech recognition and geographical services. That data is bulky, and is constantly being tuned with the data from the _other_ devices. Constantly updating the edge devices for entirely local processing would be prohibitively expensive in terms of data storage and data transmitted for "edge" devices.
Because of the number of false convictions, it seems unlikely in the extreme that such false positives have led to an erroneous conviction. I'm afraid that conviction for drug charges, with mandatory sentencing, has been particularly problematic in the USA for decades. There is also a strong racial trend towards convicting black men, innocent black men, of drug crimes. I'm afraid this will be exacerbated by facial recognition systems that do not differentiate well among black people's faces.
I've seen "repairs" done by people who don't understand hardware, especially the kind of heavy duty haradware to support racks of equipment or shelves of books. The results can be quite dangerous to passers by.
The authors of the first Usenet spam were lawyers, disbarred in multiple states for fraud against their clients. They also tried to start a business selling spam services to others, which had a short profitable period until their level of fraud and abuse against their network providers and their own clients became clear.
Some businesses engage in spam accidentally, because they are sold advertising services and don't understand the idea that "opt-in" email is accepted while "opt-out" is almost always unwanted, The vast majority, however, is abusive fraud. It remains a profound burden on every email system in the world, even those with good spam filtering, because there is a measurable cost of the filtering that generally far exceeds that for legitimate services.
I'll speak from experience as the engineer discovering abuse, and as the manager compelled to handle complaints about such harassment. Depending on the exact behavior, it can violate not only state law but federal law. See US Criminal Code section 223 for examples of relevant federal law. There is a short summary at https://cyber.harvard.edu/vaw0... which is also useful.
2-factor authentication can be very useful for improving security. It's burdensome to set up, and makes automation much more difficult. Github, gitlab, and Sourceforge, and other public source control repositories also have a difficult situation _supporting_ multiple access methods,. Even as they improve the security of one system, they're still left with all the potential holes of the other supported systems. From the source articles, Github developers should have caught this one. But let's be cautious to not say "if you did it my preferred way, this would never have happened". Two-factor authentication multiplies the physical cost of setting up or modifying client accounts. One of Github's selling points is its support of many low-budget but useful open source tools. I'd anticipate a great loss of contributing users if 2-factor authentication were mandated.
Having a large number of lower range salaries will lower the _average_. It need not have any effect whatsoever on the median salary, which is the salary where half of the personnel make more, and half make less income. If there are "classes" among the employees, the clusters of income for those classes can profoundly distort an analysis of the wages.
I've afraid this has wondered away from the point I was trying to make: If I may suggest, rather than universally and self-righteously criticizing them for the lack of charity, do check out the _rate_ of charity among Christians: Note that according to statistics that it is higher than almost any other group in the world. I'd encourage you to grant them some credit for that. And be aware that religious leadership can teach contradictory values in every faith.
> That's absolutely false. Single mothers overwhelmingly vote Democratic, while married women and men favor Republicans
From the article, the conservative, Republican states generate far more single mothers, due to teen pregnancy and divorce. Apparently the overwhelming majority to which you refer isn't enough to override the statistics and behavior that create so many single parents in the first place. Also, these notably poorer single parents apparently vote less than married women. It seems true that they have an understandable self-interest in Democratic campaign issues like abortion rights, minimum wage, and universal health care. But apparently the resulting Democrat voting does not overwhelm the more conservative, Republican environment that helped generate them.
The overwhelming factor in overall educational results does not seem to be the school budget. It is the presence of two parents in the home. And that is more common in the Democratic states. A New York Times article, with citations, describes some of this. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/1...
"Limited companies" are businesses, owned by those individuals. An individual can register a personal domain for their own personal communications or communications. In US Constitutional terms, it becomes a free speech issue. Can one speak as an individual on the Internet hosting a website or email service or even an FTP document server, without giving up the personal information of the domain owner?
Please allow me to disagree. The "free mailing list for spammers" is for data that is typically already accessible by many other means, all of which are already in use by spammers.
Also note that most domains are not legitimate. Most are owned by domain squatters. In particular, they are owned by Network Solutions, which pre-registers all unused domains that are looked up from their servers, including their "whois" services and held hostage to prevent the people who sought the domain from registering it anywhere but through Network Solutions. The practice is sometimes known as "domain frontrunning", but I would certainly qualify it as cyber squatting. Network Solutions, and the domain registrars for the more than 1000 current top level domains, can do this without paying any fees for the 4-day holding period.
Other sources of fraudulent domains, eased by current policies, are fomain squatting for fraud. It's been useful to be forced to provide valid contact information, since a business owner can be contacted and served with a court order to cease operations, and a fraud can be reported for fraudulent contact information and get their domain canceled. It's also been useful to contact domain owners to notify them of network or service difficulties that are otherwise difficult to report: "send me email" or "go to the website" does not work when the site's DNS service has failed for any reason, or web servers are down. I've certainly used it that way and it's been invaluable to reach business partners in the middle of the night, when even their own alert system is disabled by a network issue.
That is, I'll admit, _one_ problem. Another is that the DRM and proprietary licensing for DRM are so expensive and restrictive that smaller, more creative game developers cannot afford to publish new products, or that the DRM interferes with desirable, basic functionality such as saving games. DRM has not always been a net benefit to game developers.
That analysis does not seem well supported by history. It is certainly not the lesson of the American Civil War. I'm afraid that the Confederacy tried to secede, the existing "Union" treated it as an illegal rebellion, and the Confederacy lost for a long list of reasons.
The "armed the teachers" article of your second post also does not seem well founded. It does not even acknowledge possibility of accidental shooting by those teachers, or of theft of the firearms on school grounds, especially at the poorest schools with the most armed violence.
I agree that a local git repo can be quite useful: I also use that. _But_ being able to source control individual files, without having to exclude anything else, has occasionally proven quite useful.
The RCS tracked scratch files, on top of a Subversion workspace, may look like using git locally at a casual glance. But once again, the ability to source control one file only without having to exclude or handle the other files at all can help avoid confusion. I won't insist that it's the best approach: it can be a useful tool, which is why "RCS" remains associated with t hat set of tools.
In my case, I am old enough, and and active enough, to be part of computer history. RCS, the source control software, is still useful in very old or extremely tiny environments which have individual files requiring source control. It's also sometimes useful put local files in local source control, in parallel with what Subversion or or CVS or Perforce do, and save local working changes without committing them upstream during local development. Ideally one configures the parallel source control to ignore anything named "*,v" or "RCS"
I demonstrated this a few days ago to someone faced with editing local configuration files whose default contents were in a central source control system. I've found that old tool to be _very_ useful.
Did anyone else reading this summary think of the old source control system, RCS? RCS underlies CVS source control, and creates local ",v" files to record source control changes? I still use it occasionally, locally, when I merely want to record changes in a specific configuration file and not be burdened by git or subversion trying to report on all changes in the directory.
I acknowledge that those would be confusing to send via a telephone based messaging system.
Most of the White House security still has to be maintained, for the rest of the staff and documents in the White House, when the President is elsewhere. That makes the security on his travels an extra cost. I'd also suspect that much of the security at the White House uses tools and equipment that can be handled in bulk, much more efficiently, with a stable base of operations.

It's also about domain squatting, for which a working contact address is very useful.

They cannot: that would require burning a new game ROM.
I think we can safely assume that new devices will have an updated ROM, without the bug,
That is, I'll admit, _one_ problem. Another is that the DRM and proprietary licensing for DRM are so expensive and restrictive that smaller, more creative game developers cannot afford to publish new products, or that the DRM interferes with desirable, basic functionality such as saving games.
