Put lots of data in one place, it becomes a target. There seem to be a belief that by using e-records, it will save your life. In an emergency, your records are immediately available. Now you have conflicting goals. 1) Open access (even if you are unconscious) for medical professionals everywhere all the time and 2) locked-down, secure systems. What we get is a system where medical professionals can't get access to your records when they do need them. The quality of record keeping drops significantly because the systems are completely user unfriendly. And hackers hit the jack-pot when they crack one system because 1000's to 100's of thousands of records are all in one place. I'll take paper records thank you. Hard to steal. Impossible to hack. If I see another doctor, I know where they are. All it takes is a phone call. If I had a severe problem such as an allergy to a common medicine that could kill me, I'd wear one of those bracelets with my name, condition and doctor's name. EMT's are trained to check for them. I already wear one when cycling with name, blood type and home address.
Ummm. Isn't this want everyone wants? A weak currency? Everyone says China is getting stupid rich and kicking everyone's ass because their currency is weak. It isn't fair! Weak currency == unstoppable. So now the pound has dropped a lot. All of England's exports just got cheaper. We need US businesses to call them an unfair currency manipulator and push for high tariffs. That will fix things! (this is sarcasm. Something no one seems to get here.) Me thinks those Savile row suits just became a lot better looking. Seriously, A weak pound will help the UK. It is a plus when selling your goods. More people will visit.
They couldn't simply white list her IP. It is a little know fact that her server was on a home connection and she had a dynamic IP. However, the IT team was surprised to learn that bitch.dnsdynamic.com was available for DDNS.
(all my facts may or may not be of a questionable source and I preemptively plead the 5th)
In the 1990's if you were a fresh grad with 80K in student and credit card debt, USD200 to your name and not a soul on earth to help you, coding for 30K a year was a way to put food into your stomach. The offer looked even better with no gas money to get to the next interview. Doesn't matter if you've never written any code. Any fool with a solid IQ and a fire under his ass should be able to get good at coding pretty quick ( finding out about Scott Meyers, Erich Gamma, Fowler, Aho, et. al. early on helped. Need to buy all those guys a beer one day. They saved my ass. )
Irony! Oh, no, no, we don't get that here. We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at.
Hard to see what the problem. The police gather information illegally with a stingray. Then they know who/what/where to look for. Then they create a secondary story to explain how they made the bust. In the drive through a McDonald's noticed suspect leave motel and get in his car. Suspect stumbled and appeared to be inebriated. When suspect was pulled over, suspect seemed nervous which justified the search which lead to the happy fortuitous discovery of drugs... No cops where jailed during the crime, so all good.
When the wait time hits a certain threshold, open the gates and just let everyone walk through until the line clears.
Getting things done is more important than having a show of security that shuts down business. If you don't like it, go home and hide under your bed. Wait. The odds of being killed in a car crash on the way home are higher than the odds of a terrorist attack. Go hide under the seats by the ticket counter and wait for the government to come mother you.
Still seems strange. Who's mission in life is it to help all governments collect more taxes? It would make more sense if it was more targeted. Say someone who saw Nigeria's oil money going oversee into official's secret accounts. The simplest explanation is still: A government agency did this so that they could pass laws giving them more control over the global financial system. Have a problem with China? If you know everything in every bank, you can hurt the children of the rulers. That is leverage.
One call to the credit card company and all will be fixed. I think most people will be pleased to find how easy it is to get their credit card company to reject all new charges from a online vendor plus credit you back for whatever was taken. Plus, when Mastercard or Visa see a lot of problems with a vendor, MC and Visa will cut them off. Or make it more expensive/difficult for the bad company to operate.
It would be interesting to know two things. 1. How much are the judges paid? 2. If someone didn't agree with the government every time, how fast would they lose their job? Supporting the Constitution isn't very interesting when you are paid well to do otherwise.
A 747 will land just fine with an engine out. The bigger issue is the USD 20 million in damage due to a blown engine, plus aircraft down time. When you aren't flying, you are losing money.
Most commercial airliners have what most people would call high landing speeds. About 150 to 160mph Every time I hear that a pilot saw a drone on approach, I think: How? Maybe he saw something. A plastic bag, a large bird. At that speed, it isn't easy to see a lot of details on a small object. Maybe it was a drone. Those small jet front windshields don't give great views, and they aren't always perfectly clean. Human eye's aren't perfect. I challenge you to get a good look at a drone while driving a car at 160 mph.
I would hope that the web server is on a machine with its own internet connection that doesn't share ANYTHING with the internal corporate network besides perhaps a UPS. The less a website is linked to the better. I'm no web expert, but I have had this conversation over and over again with small to mid-sized business owners. First, assume your web server is going to get herpes. Make your next decision accordingly. Big companies with big budgets have more options.
Sounds like something closer to the version M$ should have made in the first place. If they won't sell it to me, I trust Chinese hackers will be offering a free version soon!
Good points. Not all wave flights are so smooth: http://www.aviationtoday.com/r... http://www.paul.moggach.yorkso... No one knows how high these waves travel, much less the edges of the rising, mid and falling air. You can't see rising air. There might be a cloud at the top. If it is there at 90,000 feet, I doubt it will be of much help when you are 20,000 feet below it. Instruments (total energy compensated variometer) can tell you if you are going up or down. Bumping into the edges tells you where the edge is.
I'm a licensed pilot. If I was preparing to fly a glider twice as high as the previous record, I'm not sure I would want anything on my plane not 100% required for my flight. The first concern is weight. The second concern is that I really don't need anything extra to worry about. There are already enough risks involved. I'm not an expert on the flight envelops for gliders at this kind of altitude, but I'm going to guess that the plane will be at the knife edge between stalling and over speed. Gliders at 10,000 feet on a hot summer day get bounced around. A lot. They have shoulder straps for a reason. Storms have been known to remove their wings. Where there is powerful rising air, falling air can't be too far away. At 70, 80, 90,000 feet, a plane with huge, long wings might struggle to deal with the air currents.
An unmanned balloon can hit 90,000 feet and carry a small payload. There are other ways to get these experiments to the edge of space.
I only have a face book account so that someone else can't register an account in my name and spew god knows what. With a message chat bot, face book might become usable! It can reply to messages, post random links to tech stuff and read other people's dribble so that I don't every have to log on. I can finally continue to do what I'm not doing already! Non-problem officially solved.
Ok. So I blow up a few city blocks. In Obama's mind, I can't be arrested unless they can read my cell phone? Or does he just mean that the police will say: "We can't open the phone! Guess we should give up and go to the bar to have a few beers. No point in even trying to do an investigation. It's hopeless."
Many of us who get paid well, get paid well because we can take vague, poorly written specs, figure out the real world business requirements and fill in all the missing parts. Somehow I don't see AI figuring out what a human means in a particular business context any time soon. btw. If you do write perfect specs, you've essentially written the program. The hard work (the valuable work) is done. Picking good design patterns and coding it up is easy.
I hate the term AI. There is no intelligence in it. "AI" programs are still computer programs that execute the series of steps it was told to execute. In certain cases they seem smart because they have been trained on a huge set of scenarios (You are quickly programming the program with the massive data set and associated "answers" instead of hand coding X million cases.). These "intelligent" programs still fall victim to "garbage in, garbage out" just like any dumb computer program.
