None of the cool kids are using ISO or ANSI-standardized languages against IEEE-defined standardized interfaces like POSIX anymore. That level of stability and portability doesn't allow twenty-somethings to feel like they are revolutionizing the industry and making the world a better place through beautiful design patterns or whatever.
Because their network is working, they don't need new features and they either don't have time, care or requirements to check security notes when they are released? "If it isn't broken, don't fix it" can be a powerful drug.
At least in the South, there has traditionally been a "one drop" rule, wherein anyone with "one drop" of non-White in them was considered not white. In Virginia, we had the Pocahontas Exception for those descended from the marriage of John Rolfe and Pocahontas.
I agree, generally speaking. You have to be aware of what the limitations are when building a test environment, but just because you might move to something for a heavy evaluation doesn't mean you want to throw away having a stable system you know will work.
I'm sorry, what state do you live in that charges you $35 a year for a license? I've had one in VA and MD, they are good for many years, and it is a one-time fee. Cost-average it out to like $6-$7 a year tops.
What was the old saying in Tsarist Russia? Something like, "If 5 people get together to plot revolution, what you have is one revolutionary and four police informants." We are not talking about a country that has ever really been free since the earliest Viking settlements in places like Moscow. Hundreds of years of autocracy or oligarchy. What else would they produce politically but Putin and an encryption ban?
We're talking about a woman who held a shredder party to destroy documents about a real estate deal before they could be subpoeneaed to make sure that it wasn't "destroying evidence" since it wasn't technically "evidence" yet. I don't think she'd be so stupid as to throw something incriminating in the trash. I also don't think she'd generally use Comic Sans font (but if her taste in clothes or husbands is any indication, maybe she would).
Investing money (capital) into assets used to make a profit, with both the ownership of the capital assets as well as the profits being in private hands is the definition of capitalism. Using your own money is one way to do it. Borrowing other people's money is called leverage.
There must not be too much secret sauce involved if they're going to do it that cheaply.
While that listing shows that they have bought SOMETHING from Cellbrite, I think I'd like to see a little more evidence before I'm convinced that this shows they hired Cellbrite to hack the San Bernardino iPhone. https://www.fpds.gov/ezsearch/... shows that the Secret Service bought $781k worth of something from them on the 10th of March.
I'm happy to sell them a $500 laptop with Kali Linux for $10,000,000 or whatever the going rate is for over-inflated defense contracting. Where do I sign up?
I vaguely remember signing up when I was 19. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but now that I'm almost 32, have a job, a wife (who has her own job), a child, a dog, two mortgages (we live in one and have a renter in the other), etc., there is pretty much no damned way I'm picking up and moving because of some crap I said on the internet while in college, probably drunk and definitely on anti-depressants. Frankly, I expect there are others just like that.
Additionally, I do believe I had stopped paying for a domain at some point and then lost my password to the website, causing me to re-register. Therefor, they're down at least two "members" just with me, "sorry" to say.
"Trivially easy" for IT, security or developers isn't likely the same as trivially easy for casual users of phone apps who aren't computer-related professionals
The 3/5ths compromise is so misunderstood. Southern, slave-holding states wanted the slaves to be counted as people for the purpose of apportionment for of Representatives and Electors for President. Northern, non-slave states said they shouldn't be counted since they weren't going to be citizens. By counting them as 3/5ths of a person for the purposes of apportionment, it bolstered the power of the Southern states (who had a much smaller White population relative to Northern States) in the legislature and allowed them to come to terms and agree to move forward with the Constitutional Convention. It's convenient how people who misinterpret the 3/5ths compromise also generally neglect the "and Indians not taxed" portion of the clause, which is meant to draw distinction between those paying taxes and submitting to the power of the State and those who weren't.
For the tl;dr crowd, the South wanted to count them as 5/5ths of a person and the North wanted to count them as 0/5ths of a person.
They said "languages or technologies" in the summary. Sharepoint, WordPress and SalesForce are platforms that apparently people who responded to the survey don't want to work with.
Are you saying that if they were overwhelmingly female that they would appreciate MATLAB more? I don't see how that has anything to do with the other things, which merely point out how a bunch of hipsters who don't really understand computers would rather work with mostly easy languages to do "app" development than to work with anything in environments that indicate either some domain knowledge (MATLAB) or a "real job" (Salesforce, SharePoint).
Also, consider that it is Stack Overflow. It's mostly code-snipet "programmers" and people looking for help with homework.
There's a difference between "reliable technique for script kiddies and Anonymous" and a "reliable technique used by foreign intelligence services who, if they want something bad enough are going to get it one way or another". For them, the "cyber attack" aspect is only one method and if it becomes untenable they'll revert to HUMINT means. Human infiltration or malicious insiders can be used to gain the access necessary to propagate the dylib injection attack and gain a more long-lasting digital foothold.
SANS training is pretty good, if you have the money (or can get work to pay for it). They start at the very basics and go up to advanced pen testing, reversing, etc.
Offensive Security has some good free tutorials and paid training, including lab work, for their OSCP/OSCE series of certifications.
Skip the CEH. I don't know anyone who takes that seriously, even if they have one. It's basically just an expensive way to prove you know netcat.
This plane is really battery powered; the solar cells charge the batteries and take in enough over the course of the day to power the batteries over night. The plane could stay aloft indefinitely, if it weren't for the pilot's biological needs.
I agree that a 'solar powered' commercial airliner isn't realistic. however we very well may see some 'hybrid' type of aircraft in the future where large portions of the electricity necessary to run non-propulsion systems is provided by solar-rechargeable batteries (if that isn't a thing already... i'm not an aeronautical engineer, though I do come from a long line of pilots). Applying solar power to other methods of transportation could be the next experiment.
Sometimes stuff like this is just cool on its face regardless of practical applications in industry.
When SI1 did the trans-american flight, they had a stop-over at the Smithsonian's Udvar-Hazey annex out near Dulles and I went to go see it. I got to meet Bertrand Picard, which was really cool, got to touch the plane, and it was also a good excuse to go and see the rest of the collection.
With this aircraft, we're talking about something that has the weight of a car but the wingspan of a commercial long-haul airliner. It is largely constructed out of carbon fiber, and with proportions like this I would assume that sufficiently strong winds could cause it to snap. There are also the stop-overs for educational and marketing purposes (such as spending 3 days at Dulles with the first plane 2 years ago), as well as rest and recuperation time for the pilots. They have a large ground crew, engineering team and marketing team that moves with them. It's kind of like picking up the circus and moving it to a new city and trying to get there in time before your elephants, which are on a different train.
That said, it's one of the coolest things I've ever gotten to see in person, and Bertrand Picard is an amazing guy, from an amazing family. His grandfather was a high-altitude balloonist and scientist who inspired Professor Calculus in Tin-Tin. His father went with Challenger Deep to the bottom of the Marianas Trench. His uncle was also an explorer, Jean Picard, after whom Jean-Luc Picard of Star Trek was named. The idea for this plane came about after nearly running out of fuel during an around-the-world balloon flight in the 1990s.
Whether we'll be seeing solar air transport on a commercial level in my lifetime or not, they're definitely attacking various engineering, scientific and social problems in a high-profile way.
Well, compared to Matlab or Mathematica, yes. Or compared to commercial products like Visual Studio. Or the hardware cost sink of having to buy a Mac to get the free Xcode to program for the iPhone/iPad/iPod....

Aren't small, independent farms more traditional than centralized agribusiness?
