Skinner: Well, I was wrong; the lizards are a godsend. Lisa: But isn't that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we're overrun by lizards? Skinner: No problem. We simply release wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They'll wipe out the lizards. Lisa: But aren't the snakes even worse? Skinner: Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat. Lisa: But then we're stuck with gorillas! Skinner: No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.
Gamma rays break down the crystalline structure of things like the chips. Even low-level radiation will wash out a camera, but about 10-25Sv for "long" periods of time will have some effect, 650Sv pretty much instantly destroys everything, even things like the metal the robot is constructed out of will eventually become harder and more brittle as the atoms get knocked out of the structure (eg. if someone suggested pneumatics, plastic, rubber and metals would also deteriorate).
Most browsers open 6 connections because most connections these day can handle it. If you live in a time warp (like most of the US) with tech that's 20 years old, then you have to use 20 year old tricks of the trade.
"Back in the day" we had 56k at home or for the rich folk, 128k (ISDN), double ISDN if you were really lucky. We had the same problems, the 'web' was getting fancy with things like Flash, video and high-def images because all the 'work' was being done at places that had either access through an institution with at least Fractional T1's and things like 100Mbps home-internet copper/fiber connections for $10 were being promised as less than a decade away by the ISP's which were then repeatedly subsidized by the governments to do just that.
How did we do it: a) Set up your own DNS caching servers b) Set up your own HTTP/HTTPS proxy caching servers with giant caches c) Proper QoS to make sure certain traffic had priority over others, small packets and small buffers d) Set up your own servers (such as IMAP/SMTP, gaming etc) and have them sync during times of lesser activity. These days, with a bit of API tinkering, even social media can be done that way.
We had LAN parties with 100's of computers behind a 1Mbps cable modem, no problem.
You have to a) know how to program yourself and b) be a good manager before you can judge whether a particular person is "good". All other 'metrics' whether it's number of bugs created/resolved, time taken, lines of code written, mean time between failures, are useless if you don't know how they relate to your existing code base and impacted the actual work being done. If your software is written in brainfuck (or one of the P's - PHP, Perl and Python) you can't blame the developer for time taken to resolve past mistakes, on the other hand if it's written in one of the C flavors, you can't blame them for writing a bunch of memory management code or having various memory leak bugs, and if any of your tools includes the words Visual, then you got shitty developers to begin with and you can't hire anything better.
You've obviously never lived in an urban neighborhood, various of my neighbors are continuously in various violations of city ordinances (junk cars in the driveway, summer block parties all summer long).
You can do the same with AirBNB hosts, just keep reporting them and get the city inspector to send them fines, they'll quit eventually. Making it illegal for everyone from renting out a room in their house (eg. to college students) across an entire state is not the answer because YOU don't want to deal with calling the cops once in a while.
What do you do when you have owners that make noise, party and are scumbags, they're a hell harder to get rid off than renters? If you want absolute peace and quiet you live somewhere you don't have neighbors.
But it's not a hotel, it's a short term home rental. A hotel has a very different building structure as well as consumer protections to it. The only reason it's illegal is because big government Cuomo says it is and that's because he's been bribed by the hotel lobbyists.
This makes it practically illegal to rent out your property for any period of time unless it's registered as a hotel.
Some people (*cough* Wall Street types *cough*) just want to make sure that whatever they printed out, e-mailed etc gets destroyed after a few days/weeks/months. They often don't use e-mail because they lose control and rely on word of mouth and paper within the office to get their 'ideas' finalized. The main issue is when the shit hits the fans months or years down the line, they don't want anyone holding onto anything they've said or written.
With this paper, any evidence disappears automatically and you'd have to first of all have the foresight to know you'll at some point need and expend quite some effort to make a copy (eg. use a copier, scanner, camera).
It's called a trackball. The problem with the analog stick is similar to the problem with the little nub on IBM laptops or trackpads. The area of movement your fingers make have to have a much larger effect on the system than your muscle movements, it amplifies any movement much more due to its limited area of movement without being able to correct for speed. It's a virtual lever with a very tiny distance between fulcrum and effort because you only have ~1cm to work with, any effort is thus going to be crude.
A mouse can correct for acceleration, slower movements affect the system much less than faster movements, a correction which is completely artificial and can be customized as such.
It's not unlawful, the President has the sole authority to set immigration directives and pretty much every President including Clinton, Bush and Obama has done so. Obama instituted the same exact travel bans against 'Muslims'.
However Trump has taken it a bit further and also added "and we'll see about those H1B's too" - at that point the lawsuits got started by Microsoft and now seemingly joined by other tech giants that suck up the largest pool of foreign slave labor.
Indians (from India, not Native Americans) are the new blacks and H1B is the Amistad, Trump is the North and large corporations the South.
The problem with forums these days is they're full of repeat questions and answers. People that have been around for a while get annoyed, just search for your question in Google and you get hundreds of the same answers over a variety of forums. This clogs any search function including Google with pages of duplicate information while the real gems or more deep information such as why an issue appears gets buried while answers get briefer and more shallow every time someone asks the question.
If you don't want this sort of stuff on your forums, close/delete the topics where it is clear people haven't bothered researching the problem. These days it seems people claiming to be IT professionals are just posting to forums to get a quick answer and have others do their jobs, those morons should not even be employed in the field.
You know CUPS and any self respecting laser printer have had authentication and encryption for like ages. You could even run CUPS on your router and allow your computer to print from anywhere on the Internet.
On the other hand, this is indeed not a hack, this is just a public printer server.
Twitter has the same "issue" - as long as your viewpoint fits within the dogma of the SJW groupthink, you're free to do whatever including threatening and harassing.
It is highly improbable any real doctor will be able to say that with any certainty. Apparently he DID do all those things, perhaps not while the house was on fire but even if it was, adrenaline could account for the sudden surge in strength.
The owners/stakeholders/debtors got paid 2B by facepoop to sell the company to them. Doesn't mean the company owns $2B in stocks because that wouldn't be a sale.
Depends: if he was black then obviously we should be outraged that they arrested him in the first place.
Either way, a lawyer will make mincemeat of the argument that an elevated heart rate right before a fire started is evidence of arson. My heart rate would be elevated too if I saw/smelled smoke.
They probably didn't absorb the company though, they kept it separate from Facebook. Oculus the company is worth $2B but I highly doubt they have even 5% of that value in assets, if nothing else they just have loads of debt and a bunch of imaginary property worth $2B. If such judgment gets held up, Oculus will be forced into bankruptcy.
I think a lot less CPU would be consumed if more people were using HTTPS without allowing the side-loading of third party content. Imagine all 30 ads and 300-something trackers here on/. were never loaded because your browser was set not to trust content that laid outside the HTTPS domain you are requesting.
You need to update your knowledge base, the overhead of SSL vs. non-SSL is on the order of 2-5% with modern CPU. A decent set of Intel Xeons can push upwards of 3GBps (that's 24Gbit/s) in encrypted traffic per CPU. Even before HTTP2 there were various methods of speeding up SSL but the whole thing adds less than 2-3ms even on old hardware with relatively up-to-date web servers.
No, SSL is SSL, TLS is TLS, they're somewhat different, most notably that SSL runs encrypted sockets, TLS can negotiate encryption while simultaneously allowing unencrypted traffic over the same sockets. Although in web-servers (at this point) there is no true difference between the streams of SSL or TLS, it should be technically possible to TLS over port 80 (as described in RFC2817) and the recommendation is to turn off SSL completely as all incarnations of it are insecure.
At least Trump has so far held to his campaign promises and intends to keep with them. Remember when Obama said he was going to build a fence? Or when he implemented a ban on "Muslims" entering the country? He caved under any sort of pressure which set the tone for the rest of his presidency (ACA, single payer, closing gitmo,...)
