In many of the cases in news reports of student disciplinary actions that led to criminal charges, students were not allowed to contact their parents, were not informed of the right to have a lawyer, and in fact didn't have a right to a lawyer.
That's exactly why you STFU!
You _never_ talk to the police without an attorney present. Period. Being prevented from contacting your parent, attorney, not being informed of your rights, etc. is irrelevant.
So why not the Apple Watch? Simple -- I'm more interested in continuing to use my Android phone than I am using the Apple Watch. Apple, in an attempt to create a vertically integrated stack and bolster up the iPhone (or maybe just because they're lazy), has made their watch only work with the iPhone.
I wonder how many sales have been lost because the watch requires an iPhone? I would have bought my mother an Apple Watch, but she has a Moto G so it's not an option.
I've never really understood this admin/developer dichotomy. If you're a developer, don't you need to know how to do admin tasks like install operating systems, manage user accounts, compile software from source and build packages? If you're an admin, don't you need to know how to program so you can build the tools you need, or understand concepts like IPC? How do you troubleshoot misbehaving processes if you don't know how to use a debugger or follow system traces? Granted, you may not be the best at all tasks, but you should have at least a little experience doing everything.
I'm the DevOps guy at a startup and it's been a great experience. I handle server setup, configuration management, monitoring and alerting, upgrades, process automation and software deployments. I'm responsible for our various computing environments and also do some R&D work (e.g. Docker Swarm proof of concept). The dev guys work their tickets for application features and our QA group performs integration, regression and usability testing. When we run into a problem in production that we didn't see in our lower environments I get together with a couple of dev guys and we work the problem together.
I started working with computers at a very young age and always worked for smaller companies where I had to be developer, webmaster, DBA, sysadmin, etc. so my experience is atypical compared to someone who got a C.S. degree in college and went to work for a large corporation as a developer where they only get to work on code and never interact with other groups.
Allowing inexperienced people to touch a production environment is a recipe for outages. DevOps should be staffed with people who are experienced admins _and_ developers.
Companies do this because consumers are too stupid to configure the devices.
By having the device connect to home base the user doesn't have to know how to look up their IP address or configure dynamic DNS. The user registers the device during initial setup with the provider, then whenever they use the smartphone or web app they connect to the provider's server which redirects them to the device in their home.
Some devices don't require an Internet connection and can operate over the local network. If you know how to setup a VPN then you can connect to the devices over the Internet, but once again, the target consumer probably has no ability to do this themselves so they use a central service as a proxy.
If you had, you would know that server is a well paid job. Tips add up fast, no competent server would accept a simple hourly wage.
There's a particular burger joint/metal bar that I frequent at least weekly; I typically have a $15 burger with three $5 drinks. I'm a regular so the bartender comps. me one or two drinks which I give right back to them as gratuity. They're making close to $15 an hour just from my meal.
One of my friends worked in the restaurant industry for many years. It was not unusual for him to come home with $300 cash on a good night. Granted, you're not making that every hour of every day, but diners do take care of the staff.
As the years go by, you're paying more and getting less for your money.
That's been my experience as a subscriber since maybe 2008. At first it was great, I could catch up on old tv series and there were plenty of movies available that I wanted to watch. Eventually I made it through my backlog of shows and started noticing that movies that used to be on the service were now missing and that when I would search for a particular movie to watch it was more than likely not available.
I've been thinking about canceling my plan for awhile, but $9.99 a month is cheap enough that I'll keep it around "just in case". However, if I ever bother to get OpenVPN set up I'll probably just start streaming movies from my home collection and then cancel my Netflix account.
Me, I buy CDs, rip 'em to MP3, and use them on all of my devices how I see fit, where I see fit, and when I see fit.
Unless you're buying multiple copies, you do realize what you're doing is copyright infringement, right? You are allowed to make _one_ copy for backup purposes. You can make an argument that you're space shifting a CD, but that means you can only have it on one device at a time, certainly not all of them!
The cost of discovering new content is much lower for streaming services compared to pay to own.
Spotify costs me the same per month no matter how many tracks from how many artists I listen to. The service encourages me to try new things and they also curate playlists like New Music Friday and Discover Weekly. With pay to own I have to buy the entire album whether I end up listening to one track once, or all of the tracks many times.
There's also the convenience factor of streaming services. I did rip my CD collection many years ago and then I never listened to those rips because it's much easier to play tracks from my phone or the web player. Spotify costs $9.99 a month, over one year that's about the cost of 6 physical CD's. It's much more expensive to go buy an album, take the time to rip it, move it to my phone and then manage backups.
Keep one copy in a safe in a tamper evident container. Either hardcopy or something like a read-only SD card or USB thumb drive will work. Routinely open the safe and verify that the key container hasn't been compromised.
Distribute copies to trusted parties in tamper evident containers. You can also split the key up into multiple pieces and distribute different pieces to different people. Don't let anyone know who else has copies. You will also need to routinely visit these trusted parties and confirm that they have not tampered with the key container.
Be sure to protect your private key with a wrapping passphrase if supported, otherwise use encrypted media. You should also specify a reasonable expiration date for your key and use the appropriate revocation mechanism, e.g. CRLs for x509 certs and revocation certificates for PGP. You shouldn't be too worried about the longevity of your storage media since you should be periodically updating your keys. I would recommend against media with photosensitive dyes and go with the more robust M-Disc based discs.
If at all possible, do not ever let your private key touch a networked/unsecure device. Use a hardware based key manager if possible, e.g. Yubikey. Keep a separate machine booted from read-only media for the sole purpose of key creation in a secured location. You can also use this machine for encryption/decryption, but you need to transfer data via sneakernet. Definitely don't keep a WiFi card or even an audio output device in the machine. Do all of your work inside a Faraday Cage if possible.
Oh how I wish we only had to worry about websites using cookies to track us. It's becoming pretty difficult to avoid being electronically surveilled in today's society.
You've got it backwards, the brownshirts are the ones infiltrating Trump's rallies and trying to prevent him from speaking.
Last Friday in Chicago it wasn't the Trump supporters who were throwing bottles at people, damaging cars with Trump stickers on them, blocking an ambulance and injuring police officers.
The leftists are so terrified that Trump's message is resonating with the People that they are willing to do anything possible to shut him up. They know that their ideas cannot compete with.
The phrase "well-regulated" was in common use long before 1789, and remained so for a century thereafter. It referred to the property of something being in proper working order. Something that was well-regulated was calibrated correctly, functioning as expected. Establishing government oversight of the people's arms was not only not the intent in using the phrase in the 2nd amendment, it was precisely to render the government powerless to do so that the founders wrote it.
You're absolutely right about Citizens United, it preserves the right of the People to speak freely and to use their money to ensure that others are able to hear that speech.
I'm not sure how people get so twisted into believing that preventing others from speaking is acceptable. Do they not realize that once they've taken this position, then they must also allow others to prevent _them_ from speaking as well?
And in that case do you really think that your modified AR15 is going to be of any use against whatever the government chooses to throw at you?
If society breaks down to the point that one truly needs to walk around armed, then you probably won't be facing government forces. You will most likely be dealing with looters, opportunistic criminals, etc.
The NRA also assisted Otis McDonald (a Black American) in his lawsuit against the City of Chicago and their unconstitutional handgun ordinance which infringed an individual's Second Amendment rights.
But... what if there is some unflattering FACT about a group that offends and insults most members of that group? Conversely, there may be flattering fact about a group that most members of the group find flattering.
I'd be interested in examples of what you mean here.
How about some of these?
Approximately 72% of black children are born out of wedlock.
Blacks are responsible for more than 80% of the gun violence in Chicago.
Blacks have been responsible for ten times as many murders in Chicago as either Hispanics or Police thus far in 2016.
I would think that adding additional platters would greatly lower the mean time before failure on the drives?
The disk's spindle motor and actuator are shared across platters, but the media and read/write heads are per-platter. With many small platters your seek times would go down, but the odds of a head crash or media failure would be greatly increased.
I'm guessing that the OP's electric company grants credits to customers for allowing the utility to adjust their fridge/thermostat/etc. during periods of high usage.
If there's a lesson here, it's that this is an asymmetrical problem, and fixing it is going to require addressing underlying causes, not throwing cash and civil liberties on the bonfire in a futile attempt to even things up.
What makes you think that those in power want the problem fixed? Every attack is another opportunity at a power grab.
In some cases those complaining about terrorism are the very ones encouraging it.
We actually didn’t retire these 1TB WD drives – they just changed jobs. We now use many of them to “burn-in” Storage Pods once they are done being assembled. The 1TB size means the process runs quickly, but is still thorough. The burn-in process pounds the drives with reads and writes to exercise all the components of the system. In many ways this is much more taxing on the drives then life in an operational Storage Pod. Once the “burn-in” process is complete, the WD 1TB drives are removed and we put 4- or 6TB drives in the pods for the cushy job of storing customer data. On the other hand, the workhorse 1TB WD drives are returned to the shelf where they dutifully await the next “burn-in” session.
I don't understand the point of doing a burn-in with known good drives and then replacing them with new units of unknown reliability. I would think you'd want to do a burn in with the drives you're going to use since disk failures typically happen either early or late in a drive's life?

Doesn't Amazon pay plenty of taxes directly via social security contributions, unemployment insurance and indirectly via their workers' income taxes?

Two types of people drop out of college: geniuses and idiots.
If I'm an experienced admin, why would I want to run RHEL instead of just using CentOS?
What do I get besides support that I probably don't need and a bunch of out of date RPMs?

The meaning of the phrase "well-regulated" in the 2nd amendment
Traditionally the militia consisted of every able-bodied adult citizen. It's not an official organization so much as it is a grouping of civilians.
The phrase "well regulated" does not refer to legal regulations, it means "in proper working order".
