Just because a wifi network is using WPA2 doesn't make it secure. There are plenty of attacks that work on WPA2 networks.
Hell, Mar A Lago could be sniffing it's own network traffic. An encrypted WiFi link doesn't mean much if you're communicating in the clear. And if all of your communications are encrypted, then being connected to an unsecured WiFi access point doesn't put you at any additional risk.
That was actually the code to get into one of the high rises I used to live in. You could use the phone in the entryway to call up to units to be buzzed in, but it would unlock the door if you dialed 0000. Management was stunned when I demonstrated this to them and finally changed the default code.
Building security was crap overall. There had been numerous break-ins and the foolish condo association wouldn't pay for 24 hour security.
You could also just not connect any Windows computers with Internet access (used for email or browsing) to your internal, secure network. Yeah, you'll probably need multiple devices at your desk, but you won't have to worry about email viruses getting to the secure network.
If he really wanted to remain anonymous then he should have kept his mouth shut instead of posting on a personal blog and then giving interviews to the media.
You can't really complain about people figuring out who you. If you want to stay anonymous, then stay anonymous!
He clearly wanted the attention, he just wants to control how much attention he gets which isn't up to him.
How about how Hillary's campaign emails being leaked, but not Trump's? I don't buy that argument, but quite a few people do.
If Hillary and friends weren't so rotten there wouldn't have been any emails to leak. I'm just happy they did go public. The argument that it wasn't fair and amounts to "meddling" to me sounds a lot like a little kid crying to his parents that his friend Johnny didn't get in trouble for doing something wrong so he shouldn't either.
Oh come on, Colbert didn't imply Trump was gay. He just said Trump's mouth was only good for being Putin's cock holder. People are projecting when they say that's anti-gay. Straight guys can take a dick to the mouth too.
I don't want to watch damn videos! Speaking is an incredibly slow way to transfer information. I can read at least an order of magnitude faster than you can talk.
If you're going to have videos, then you also need to provide written material covering the same topics.
My experience in the mid-90's was pretty similar to yours.
I did have the misfortune of taking maybe two classes where the professor just read out of the book. That made me mad since I always read the material before class. In some cases I had finished the textbook before the first exam.
Classes always moved slowly at the beginning of the semester and I took advantage of that to get ahead.
I still needed to attend class to hear any announcements; some professors would claim to have a class website, but then wouldn't post any announcements. I'd generally just sit there and read material for another class I was taking.
Thank you! I'm a fast reader and all of the new video based learning drives me up the wall. I can read at least an order of magnitude faster than someone can talk. If written material were provided in addition to the video that would be great, but people don't generally do that since it's "extra" work.
As for group work, I'm really thankful I didn't have to do more than maybe one or two group projects. I'm a pretty extreme introvert and prefer working alone.
Secondly, those bans were halted due to activist judges. They didn't base their decisions on the actual text of the Executive Orders as one would expect.
Screw Net Neutrality! I want telecoms to be able to operate free from government interference.
Net Neutrality is a trojan horse. The end-goal is to give the State control over industry. They want to censor what you're able to access over the Internet. The last FCC commissioner made it clear that she wanted to regulate sites such as the Drudge Report and that site just provides links to articles.
Get rid of the government supported ISP monopolies and the problems Net Neutrality claims to fix go away.
As you point out yourself in the book, natural monopoly can also be a positive thing. For instance, in the cases of the telephone and the telegraph. What is the difference between those natural monopolies and digital platforms?
That was kind of a tragedy of the commons, with competing inoperable telephone networks. It didn’t make sense. Now we’re just in a situation where the amount of capital that would be needed to start a new Google competitor would be so huge or so onerous in terms of competition that it would be very hard to raise that capital. So we’re just dealing with the fact that it’s a de-facto monopoly. Even Microsoft couldn’t get past a 5 percent global market share.
I'm not following this argument. How does being large and popular equate to being a monopoly? Ma Bell had to run wires everywhere, Google just uses the existing infrastructure. No one's forcing you to use Google and there are plenty of other search engines.
You also don't need a lot of capital to compete with Google if you want to build your own search engine. Cloud servers are damn cheap these days compared to putting something in a colocation facility like you used to have to do. If you're doing something niche like shodan.io it makes complete sense to go ahead and build your own.
His hypothesis is fine. The military has the exact same problem with not knowing what's going on in far-flung regions and an inability to process the flood of incoming information in a timely manner. There are many recent examples of the military getting it wrong.
If your home were under attack by a neighboring town, you're going to have much better luck getting some locals together to fight than you are waiting for the President to send military troops. Odds are you'd be wiped out long before they ever heard you were in trouble.
Yeah, it's terrible living in the city. A 30 minute commute by public transportation where I don't have to worry about getting in a car accident really sucks. I'd so much prefer to spend two hours in traffic each day, especially in the winter when it's icy.
All of the dining options are also a bummer. I really miss having to choose from a bunch of chain restaurants.
I've never had a problem with deliveries, if I'm not home the delivery person just tosses the box over the side gate.
In my experience not having a degree hasn't been a big deal. My Dad worked for a large corporation and always crowed that they only considered college graduates with a B average, but that was a rural area. There are plenty of companies in the big cities that only care about what you can do.
I started programming computers in second grade and got a job in industry during my sophomore year of college. It's amazing how many people out there don't start learning their trade until college and who graduate with no job experience.
I foolishly didn't complete my degree due to already having a job when my credit check came back with a deficiency. I was young and invincible, tired of school and figured it wouldn't matter. To be honest it hasn't, but you do want to be able to open as many doors in life as possible and having a degree won't hurt. I found the general education requirements to be a big waste of time and money, but my computer science curriculum was pretty good and you will learn and work on things you wouldn't otherwise experience.
Four machine-learning algorithms (random forest, logistic regression, gradient boosting machines, neural networks) were compared to an established algorithm (American College of Cardiology guidelines) to predict first cardiovascular event over 10-years.
At a population level I can see where being able to predict who will have a heart attack in the next 10 years would be helpful, but how much value is there for an individual?
Is the idea that a person begin preventative measures now and avoids the heart attack in the future? This algorithm wouldn't seem to be very helpful in planning surgical interventions like clearing blocked arteries.
Don't forget "use" taxes. I had to cut a check to the local government six months after I purchased my last car because I bought it in a different county.
Quite a few people are paying twice for their children's schooling because the public system sucks.
There's a few cities in the United States that sock their residents with a local income tax.
Take a look at some of the taxes and fees tacked onto your utility bills. IIRC my natural gas bill has a ~30% tax added.

I think the real problem is that ProPublica tends to run sensational stories based on dubious or misleading data.

Why not just run Windows 8 inside a VM, or fire up an EC2 instance?

The problem then becomes one of how conference attendees from the US bring their laptops with them to overseas venues
Couldn't you just mail it to your hotel?
In the cargo hold, the attacker cannot control the location of a bomb in a laptop.
Right, because an attacker would never have someone working as part of the ground crew for the aircraft.
First of all, Muslim isn't a race.

And nobody has been able to make a better search engine than Google.
Have you not heard about DuckDuckGo?
Way better than using Google if you care about your privacy.

It sounds like they want to be MTV for the Internet Age?
Is this supposed to be a big deal simply because it's due to climate change? Back in 1900 the flow of the Chicago River was intentionally reversed!

Geofencing solves those problems. Once your phone is close enough to the receiver the garage door just opens.
