Based on my firewall logs that doesn't seem to be the case; my stateful firewall times out after 30 minutes, but my logs show inbound translations for at least an hour, often two. Am I looking at it incorrectly?
I applaud the effort, but are they really qualified to be doing this, or are they going to limit it to basic "best practices?" I can see picking up that there is an open port, but backdoor accounts, phoning home, etc are equally important.
I don't think that is what history tells us; "cloud" is here to stay in many different forms. What doesn't work is a monoculture-- you need 5-10 competing providers to be viable in order to build a reliable system.
Software as a service I am not as sure about. It is generally bad for the customers financially, but it offers some benefits that help offset that cost.
It is all about return on investment; in a growing market that is much easier to achieve. At some point, if the new technology provides sufficient value, old factories will be upgraded...
On domestic flights yes, but on international (especially in business) most airlines are still providing large screen IFE systems. Who knows where we will be in a few years, but right now the 1/8" jack is alive and well. Noise isolating+cancelling headphones are really important to most frequent flyers on a flight, so it is important to make the process easy. It might not be a huge demographic, but they spend money on these things.
It is quite easy for a business to get stuck in an illogical process, and it generally takes someone not invested in the details of that process to force change. Identifying tools to break the chain is one way, and generally needs people with different experience. At my company we are completely changing the way we do about 40% of our work due to switching software systems. This creates opportunities to look at the remaining 60%, and try to see what has changed.
The same thing happened when the fax machine came into the office, and again with email. The most recent "global" one is the dual monitor and large monitor craze, which changes expectations for print material and paperless processes.
That was pretty much my impetus to not upgrade this year; it was clear USB-C was coming, and my Bose QC20's are hands-down my favorite headphones I have used. The Bose will hopefully last until the next generation comes out, and I can get rid of the stupid battery pack. For some reason, Bose isn't doing lightning QC20's, and chaining the dongle and battery pack is a mess.
When it happens, I will miss being able to use the airplane's IFE system though...
In California, it would be closer to $65-70k in taxes: $8k FICA, $16k State income, $40-45k federal income.
If single, $4-6k per year healthcare, $4k for parking, $5k for car and insurance... things add up. Hopefully you are putting $18k in your 401k as well. Student loans can easily be $10k per year. You could end up with just under $2k per month for all other expenses, which can get tight without being extravagant. Throw in an unforeseen expense, and it can turn to ruin quickly... just as it does for anyone else living paycheck to paycheck.
Take-home would be closer to $6.5-7k in California. That makes $2,300 the traditional limit of affordable rent and $3.5k the "new normal" limit on affordability. I am in a similar boat; California can feel punitive, although I pay less rent for a smaller place.
From a tax perspective what sucks is you are considered "rich" by both the state and the IRS, but it is what it is. I wonder if the people who vote republican without a 6-figure income understand how disproportionately lower taxes will hurt them.
Yes, I agree. I had no idea how Amazon would still be around today "back then."
The key difference is Amazon went public early, and the VCs cashed out. With Uber, the VCs still have real control over the operation, and are going to want to recover their money. Uber is in OK some markets, and loosing hand over fist in others. The VCs will likely force them to consolidate operations to viable markets.
The problem is Uber really wants self-driving cars. The math on that is still a number of years off. After taking out $1.10/mile of round-trip costs for the car, the $2/mile fare price point doesn't leave much room for profit. There is likely to be more pressure as local services kill trips less than 1.5 miles.
That works for a limited set of applications, mainly for things whose rights were "broken" from standard behavior-- I can think of a few tasks in the command prompt that would fit in that gpcategory. Those changes by Microsoft were an improvement to security, hands-down.
But, about half the applications I use in Windows require administrator rights to work. Some of these center around DRM/Licensing controls, some are likely just lazy, and some are because the software was never designed for multiple user mode. With the latter category, an administrator often can "fix" the install so it works for an additional user, but only on a one-by-one approach.
So, at least for me specifically, a Windows box without admin rights ends up being as useful as an unplugged computer. I do not appear to be unique in this category.
Generally it is an application specific issue rather than an OS issue (although the way it works in OS X basically assumes the user is an administrator). Some updates can be addressed by a domain admin, but it is still a mess with AutoDesk and Adobe products, along with many software packages that are not multi-user aware.
It is very much on par with recommending not to plug the computer in to improve security. Too much of the system still requires administrative rights for it to be viable.
C'mon, kids today aren't learning to use the slide rule!? Say it isn't so. In 1990 (12th Grade) we had two hours of class dedicated to the slide rule. In 1983ish we had 4-12 hours for programming.
This is why our country is screwed. We have sabotaged education.
Thanks; in addition to that, improved analytics is likely, for wear monitoring, stresses, performance, and software to help transition faster in changing soil types would also be reasonable sources for innovation. I guess it is reasonable that he could improve the economics of boring by a factor of 1.5-2 and do a lot to materially achieve his stated goals... and 4-5 might be reasonable with enough effort.
There really is plenty of good documentation out there, and it isn't that hard to manage. The real problem is category 2 and its permutations-- oh, they expire!, what is a CRL!, or where is the offline root certificate stored!?
The main issue I have is effectively planning, compartmentalization, and execution to ensure a multi-level PKI system is effective and maintainable. It stops me each time I go to set up PKI for our VPN or phone system or...anything else. A poorly planned system can make things worse.
I know it is goofy, but I like the Apple Watch approach - Ensure you aren't sitting down for hours on end; ensure you actually get your heart rate up for a half-hour a day; and set an active calorie burn goal that the user can manage.
For me, I learned how I can "game" the numbers. My key is to go for a 20-minute walk in the morning, and another in the evening. Just so happens that these would otherwise be times where I am sedentary. And, I have somehow made it 45 days of meeting my active calorie goal (while increasing the goal 10-15%).
All else being equal, I am at least (theoretically) burning an extra 450 calories per day average, and avoiding some bad habits...
It gets old too quick. Fortunately for me, It gives me a good excuse to go for a morning walk rather than my usual half hour going through news. Bias and the lack of inspiration are a part of it, but too much of "the end is neigh" and there really isn't a point: we are stuck with him for another 47 months, and for at least the next 16 months there really isn't much that can be done to change the picture.

Device pings manufacturer's server every hour or so. Translation remains active for inbound connection, even with stateful firewall.
You really have to segregate everything to stay protected, and block or proxy outbound connections for IoT devices.
It gets harder when all the traffic is on 443.

If you smell "chlorine" it is because there isn't enough.

Some people are financially stressed with seven or eight- figure salaries...

It isn't about using them; it is about understanding how and why it works. Math and all that stuff.

Much like the most secure computer ever made: no drives, no network, no HMI, and no power supply.
