Originally we were supposed to throw away our fully-fledged laptops and just use a lightweight 'netbook' to access our apps running in the cloud.
But now that's not light or safe enough, so we need to virtualise the netbook and run our in-browser apps on a cloud-based 'virtual netbook' accessed through our local netbookbook.
On a more terrifying level, a company that holds people's personal information compares itself to a survival strategy that develops in hostage situations.
To be really clear, the definition of Stockholm syndrome is a condition that causes hostages to develop a psychological alliance with their captors as a survival strategy during captivity. These alliances, resulting from a bond formed between captor and captives during intimate time spent together, are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims.
Really happy my data isn't being held by a company who's CEO says its customers are captives in danger, who are surviving that captivity by bonding with his company.
High frequency traders at big banks merely locate their data center / computing presence in close physical proximity to the point where the trades occur.
Not only in close physical proximity (eg Paternoster Square in London) but also for direct line-of-sight via microwave link. Eg the HFT microwave links in Aurora Illinois. Those will always be faster than a round-trip via satellite.
Therefore we should watch films on our devices that are set predominately at night like Michael Mann's The Keep & Collateral, David Fincher's Se7en, Alien Vs Predator and The Evil Dead '91.
Not quite... this is tantamount to a craft brewer complaining he suddenly can't put his beer in Walmart's aisle coolers after Walmart encouraged him to put them there for years.
We're talking about the market for secondhand Apple computers. I suspect the market for secondhand beer is substantially smaller.
Branding in Russia was used quite extensively in the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century. Over time, red hot iron brands were gradually replaced by tattoo boards; criminals were first branded on the forehead and cheeks, later on the back and arms.
It's absolutely possible to work 100 hours per week in the UK. In my industry (film VFX and post-production) it's routine and required during crunch time. Which frequently seems to last the final 3 months of a feature film project, or final month of an advert project.
Any UK company can incorporate an
'opt-out'
of the 48-hour EU working time directive into their contract of employment. You don't have to sign it but - if you don't sign - you don't get the job. There's nothing voluntary about it.
Fed up with unwanted calls, telecom professional Roger Anderson programmed software—which he cheekily named the Jolly Roger Telephone Co.—to converse with the callers in the most infuriating way possible.
First the authors shorted supermicro stock ahead of the original claims, then they used the profits from that short to pull an even bigger leveraged short of supermicro stock ahead of the second batch of claims.
I have no evidence of this but... if you were writing those stories, why wouldn't you?
that can't be hacked short of stealing private key from Apple
Luckily that's not necessarily true. The T2 chip is using the Secure Enclave Coprocessor (SEC) for secure boot and device component authentication, which runs SEPOS.
Azimuth Security have already identified a number of vulnerabilities in the available attack surface of SEPOS which could be used to authenticate a compromised version of the AST.

Cryptocurrency. Or... l'argent poubelle, as the French call it.
Lynx FTW!
It's becoming 'browser inception'.

Maybe they'll open-source Greyball
GnuBall? OpenBall? LibreBall?

Or at least, when a rat asks for a cellphone, don't give it a second generation one.
I've never seen a turtle -- But I understand what you mean.

...and this is why Richard Stallman Calls Open Source Movement 'Amoral'. But RH must make the source publicly available under the GPL.

what do you do about some toxic asshat causing trouble?
Under the GNU Kindness Guidelines the appropriate nomenclature would be anally-challenged headwear
It still looks like a clusterfuck to me, although maybe slightly more unfucked than the last one.
Regrettably $CLUSTER_FUCK is a superglobal.
I guess you don't work in the UK!

That's assuming 3D printers don't have an equivalent of the machine identification code that laser and inkjet printers have.
We'd have a lot more biodiversity if it wasn't for these pesky animals.
No one owes Wikipedia anything for using it.
In what fucked up society did you grow up that you don't owe the courtesy of indicating who you quote?

France isn't one of the 5 eyes...
But it is part of the nine eyes.
(France plus Denmark, Netherlands, and Norway.)
Basically that means France shares five eyes intelligence, but is not automatically exempt from intelligence targeting.
Yes, but. They're our backdoors.
