    "The most fascinating part of this saga is that the leak doesn't appear to be malicious, "

    Yeah, he basically says this: pay up or i will publish your source code. Not malicious at all.

    Oracle's only problem is that they are not that single contractor.

    It looks like these Keeper guys got a record for suing experts or reporters. They should spend more on programmers and less on lawyers.

    Not just first strike. It would prevent any further command center functions before carpet bombing them back to the stone age. Though, I don't really think it should spare personnel or buildings in that case. Maybe that is only there to appease the pacifists.

  9. We should anticipate less so that to compensate for the anticipation effects.

    Maybe there should be a healthcare tax on diesel.

    Comrade, i don't care if Russia occupied Crimea and i don't care if Russia occupies eastern Ukraine. Afterall, Ukraine is already colonized by the Russians, America shouldn't care about it. But the Russians shouldn't have shot down an European passenger plane. So, tell your owners, watch their missiles.

    Those rocket scientists can only dream about employment in the US. At least, they would be cured out of their tapeworms.

  14. How about copying neural node states.

  15. I always tell that to my employer.

  16. >Quite often pulling the cable makes everything less secure as it breeds a culture of complacency at best and breeds a better kind of idiot at worst.
    Strawman. I didn't mean neglecting security patches or just any software upgrades. Upgrade offline, if you have a bug that is confirmed fixed by a patch. But never allow a 3rd party to issue a half-decent patch which will be silently applied on your production environment. Oh, wait, "i see you are not working in the industry"

    >That paper is often one of the following
    That paper is often created by lazy people who fall for buzzwords.

    >But I repeat myself: Oh I see now you don't actually work in the industry.
    Where did you see that? You checked the wrong file. If, by industry, you meant computing and not spying.

  17. Pulling the cable makes something more secure. It drastically diminishes the number of potential intruders. Having no physical connection is the best kind of firewall. Anything that doesn't need to be on the Internet shouldn't have a connection, so instead of a good firewall, you should chose the best firewall.
    This 'need to be networked' thing is nice on paper, but in fact, a lot of these 'needs' are not your own (company's) needs.
    If you think everything has to be on the Internet, then in your words 'you are an idiot'.

    Nope, there are more microsoft engineers - and users, because microsoft paid universities to teach only windows (they gave free windows, free office, etc). At least, this is what happened here.

  21. Re: Political Party explains this on Why China is Winning the Clean Energy Race (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    I agree with you. Even nuclear is better than coal, but as the things go, the US seem to have passed the advancement of nuclear power. The current reactors are worn down and old generation too. I've never heard of any nuclear incident in France, despite they use lots of nuclear power.

    So, as progressive goes, restarting those old nuclear reactors isn't progressive and i'm not sure where would the US engineers got the experience of building and maintaining reactors if this was neglected in the past decades.

    We know magic doesn't exist, but sufficiently developed tech seems like magic. We know these incidents targeted only western diplomats in Cuba. So, it was created by people to harm other people. That is... a weapon.

    Who could develop such a high tech weapon? Cubans or Russians?

    Nope, he called the Democratic Party of the US progressive. He also said, the Chinese single Party has no competition, so it could embrace the progressive idea of man-made climate change and it actively fights against it. Partly, because their smog-ridden great cities suffered more than present day US cities. Having no progressive competition left them acting freely for the greater good of their people (in this issue).

    Contrary to you, realizing that pollution/climate change is a problem and that developing green energies will also create jobs, it is indeed progressive. Much more than the Orange Clown's dumb denial. I bet, China will open factories in the US where the White Trash can build wind turbines and solar panels instead of cars AND Trump will PAY FOR IT.

    Well, with Google, it looks like the brick & mortar stores will live on, at least for now. Amazon would kill them all, asap.
    Only time will tell if Google will co-exist in a symbiotic relationship with them or is it parasitic.
