The way that you get a cert issued by LE is the same as with any other CA company. So if some bad guy can register any domain, and put up a website, they can purchase a cert that is trusted by your browser. How can you TRUST that this website is not bad, just because their certificate was issued by GoDaddy, or some other CA?
The CA is not verifying that you are not doing anything bad, just that you control the web server. The same is true for LetsEncrypt certificates.
You can use SELinux to accomplish a similar setup. You can ensure that a given application only has access to specific directories or files. Having spent a little time with it I can say it has an obscene learning curve.
Can you do the opposite based on directories? Make it so that only certain apps can access directories or files?
Many business apps only run on windows. Microsoft's customers aren't going anywhere.
With the move towards SAAS, I wonder if this is going to change. If all of the business apps change to web-based products instead of installed software, then you can use any OS you want as long as it has a browser.
That's what mandatory trainings are for. My company makes us take annual online courses related to sexual harassment, ethics, insider trading, etc. That is a relatively easy policy to institute, and it sets the tone for how the company should operate.
While everything in this deal sounds great, there is one big caveat -- Virgin Mobile USA uses Sprint's network, which is often ranked as the worst in the country. Even for $1, a year of bad coverage may not be worth the savings. You should find out how Sprint's coverage is in your area before making the switch. Also, you must buy a new iPhone -- you cannot bring an existing model to the party.
It's not law enforcement's job to help you recover your data. Their job is to arrest the people who did it, which is equally, if not more, difficult to do.
The simple solution is to rent a couple small Azure instances, and proxy all of your AWS traffic through there. As far as WalMart knows, your new site is hosted in Azure!
Retail store fronts are amazon's competition. Amazon could license the tech and help their competition while making money from licensing fees, or they could refuse to license it to anyone and that would help kill brick and mortar stores, thereby amazon. But which way is better for amazon in the long run?
Maybe amazon feels it is useful for brick and mortar stores to exist, as their de facto showrooms. Plenty of people have gone to look at something in a brick and mortar store, then gone home and ordered it via amazon.
Since Amazon just bought Whole Foods, maybe they want to prevent you from price checking groceries at Trader Joe's, etc. I doubt that Amazon won't stop with WF, and will likely buy other brick-and-mortar stores to expand their presence.
Actually, with a little geolocation magic, they can track you still. Maybe Amazon will innocuously ask for geolocation information or their app does it already. Then it's just a matter of saying, "Oh they are at Walmart looking up prices on Amazon. Show different prices."
On my iPhone, the Amazon app doesn't ask for permission to track location, so the app doesn't know where you are. Even if they could somehow tell you were looking at prices from within a WalMart, if they give you a lower price than WalMart, and you get free prime shipping, then thanks for the easy discount Amazon!
Not even that. At the very most they can work out the domain you're connecting to (and only if they're smart enough to correlate a DNS query you did with the IP address you're connecting to.
They can see the IP address and probably the website/hostname you are connecting to thanks to Server Name Indication
Like if you acquire some obscure/22 from a defunct military contractor and decide to use that for your company's internal IP space and then decide to watch Netflix while VPN'd?
That being said, that new service is not competing directly with Venmo. I believe it's really competing with existing wire transfers.
This is directly competing with Venmo, Google Wallet, PayPal, etc. The whole idea is all you need to know is someone's mobile number or email address and you can send them money. Their website even gives the example of splitting a check at a restaurant, which is a very common use for Venmo.
Trump's lackies are going to do what they or their boss wants.
If the lackeys know that their constituents do not agree with what they are doing, they might not be inclined to do it. After all, we, the people, are responsible for their re-election. That's why you need to write your congressperson and senator and ask them to oppose the repealing of net neutrality.
Fully agree w/ this. It would be one thing if they didn't want to be blocked from @POTUS, but even that is fine. But @RealDonaldTrump is the president's personal handle, and he can block anyone he likes.
That would be true, if he used his personal account for personal tweets. But he uses that account to tweet political statements as the President of the United States, so that makes it a political account.
Walmart is big enough to self-insure for auto related stuff.
This is stupid. Insurance companies make money because customers pay premiums to have insurance, and they usually bring in more money from premiums than they pay out in claims. Since the delivery employees are not paying Walmart for insurance, then Walmart only loses when they pay out claims.
There are ethics involved when it comes to code re-use. If you re-use some code that you wrote (or saw) at a previous company, or borrowed from open source and used it in your company's closed source software, there may be some ethical questions about that.
You want a conspiracy?? Maybe the FCC, now headed by a someone who wants to eliminate net neutrality, DDoS'd ITSELF to prevent any unfavorable comments from being posted at all!
That would only work if they could permanently stop people from making unfavorable comments. The fact that they announced that there was a DDOS, turns it into the Streisand effect causing more people to go to the site and make comments.

That is only useful for backups, not for everyday access to the desktop, pictures, documents folders, as mentioned in TFS.

Or you are worried that their investigation might uncover other unrelated things that you would rather them not know about.

Sublime Text has an option to use spaces or tabs for when the tab key is used.
Like if you acquire some obscure /22 from a defunct military contractor and decide to use that for your company's internal IP space and then decide to watch Netflix while VPN'd?
You could just, maybe, turn off the VPN?

Thank you for your input, Mr. President.

when summer hit you couldn't keep us inside. I'm pretty sure a lot of kids today are the same really...
No.
Last time I checked, it was in a trash can.
Hanford is commonly known as "the most toxic place in America,"
I think Uber holds that title now.
