Print all of your text documents on acid free paper in triplicate and store them in climate controlled facilities around the planet. Maybe even keep an extra copy on the Moon just in case. All of your digital files can be uuencoded before being printed out.
If you're really paranoid, you can encode everything into the DNA of some organisms and then distribute them throughout local and deep space with rocket ships and comets!
Full disk encryption is great, but assumes that you won't have unlocked it for the attacker.
That's why you also encrypt sensitive files separately. You only unlock the file when you're actually using it and then lock it back up when done.
Just use dd to create some space to use, create a filesystem on the file and then apply your preferred means of encryption. Encrypted USB sticks are another good solution.
Have you tried asking your boss for the furniture you'd like to use?
I believe employers (in the US) are required to make reasonable accommodations for employee health concerns. Perhaps you could get a note from your physician stating that he recommends you use a standing desk (for example)?
I dislike the fact the the DualShock 4 uses an internal battery that will eventually need to be replaced. I'd much prefer to use my rechargeable AA batteries since I have a bunch lying around. I also prefer it be heavier as I'm used to using the Xbox 360 controller with a Chatpad attached.
On the weekends I will play in binges of 8 to 10 hours or longer, so battery life can be an issue for me. As a result I tend to just leave a USB cable plugged into the controller at all times. I have also had problems with the controller when connected via USB. You need to be connected to a USB 3 port due to the power draw, the ports on my surge protector won't work, and I've noticed that sometimes the controller won't respond to the Playstation button to turn back on until I unplug the cable.
It sounds like you're using a crappy vendor. We have a bunch of gear at Rackspace and I have to sign legal waivers when I access certain features of their portal such as the firewall management section. They have never assured me that our systems are secure given I have enough access to make things incredibly insecure.
Due to the nature of the data that we're working with we are legally obligated (PCI, HIPAA, etc.) to care about it being secure. If something does happen we are required to report a breach and can be fined by the government. We can't simply point to the vendor. Rackspace partners with companies such as Alert Logic (threat/vulnerability management), Imperva (traffic analysis, dynamic ip blocking, etc.) and Vormetric (data-at-rest encryption) in order to help us secure our environment.
Look at Eric Garner, sure it's a bit of a freak incident that the given amount of force was lethal, but if you use that level of force often enough you're going to get a lot of freak incidents. Were there other ways to approach that incident?
The given amount of force was not lethal. Garner was morbidly obese and died from a heart attack in an ambulance quite some time after he was taken down to the ground. Other ways to approach the incident? Sure, he could have cooperated with the police officers instead of resisting arrest. He also could have chosen to not break the law; from what I recall he had been arrested many, many times.
Cops are expected to deal with unstable potentially violent people, de-escalation should be their first priority, but when it comes to black people the instinct often seems to be to establish their authority instead.
Police _are_ the authority! If you don't try to fight with them you won't have to worry about them harming you. Their first priority should be to protect themselves.
That doesn't excuse them in any way, shape, or form really. The PSN breach was big news and anyone with half a head on their head would pay attention and then take a look around their own office to shore things up.
You've never worked for a large corporation, have you?
So you don't think that a combination of factors such as where you live, how much you get paid, relative market rates, current job market conditions, your recent payrises, your recent year end appraisal scores, where your partner works, your age, your time since last promotion or anything else the company has or can easily gain access to would be an indicator of how likely you are to leave?
I have never left a position for any of the reasons you listed. I have only left when the situation had deteriorated to the point where I couldn't stand being there another day. A toxic work environment, poor employee morale, job off-shoring, incompetent management, not promoting from within, not staffing appropriately/overwork, lack of professional growth, etc. are why I've left. By all of the metrics you listed I should have been happy.
If a company needs to use a computer algorithm to judge an employee's satisfaction with their job, then they probably don't know the employee well enough to be able to do so accurately.
So you believe a thirteen year old kid with a paper route should be paid a wage high enough to allow him to move out and get a place of his own? That government should step in a prevent a person from taking a job that they want to work for the amount of money they're offered because it's not a "living wage"? That businesses should be forced to pay someone more than the value they bring to the business?
The problem is that government programs often don't provide enough to help people escape poverty, or they are structured so they penalize people for saving money or getting a better job.
I would argue the best way to fight poverty is to donate money to local charities that fight poverty. We also need to be encouraging people to work hard, graduate high school and not get pregnant out of wedlock. For a great many people in poverty that's an uphill battle against cultural expectations.
There's one wait-time display for each line to go through security, so before they get in line, travelers can join the one with the shortest wait. In effect, they do their own load balancing, which can minimize the wait time for everyone.
Based on the airports I typically use I had assumed that all of them used a single line with TSA agents directing people to a particular lane. Wouldn't that be a simpler solution?
The question that was posted reads, "what can sites serving an important public function do to ensure they stay running during periods of unexpected load?"
Yes, it's total overkill for this particular case, but that wasn't what was asked.
Chicago just got busted issuing tickets for short yellows. They instructed their vendor to start ticketing vehicles that ran yellows that were only 2.9 seconds long instead of the Federally mandated 3 seconds. Please note, they did not actually change the timing of the lights, just when tickets were issued. Previously if a yellow was shorter than 3 seconds then any tickets generated were discarded. Apparently times can fluctuate slightly due to electrical issues.
How about building your tech stack so that it can be scaled up/down on-demand? I'm using Rackspace and we have dedicated servers along with cloud servers. I can add or remove cloud servers as needed and also have the load balancers updated.
If you're just doing reads against a database, it's straightforward to add additional replicas (we use MongoDB with replica sets, don't have enough data for sharding yet). If you need to do any processing, then you should build a grid compute system where you can just add additional compute nodes. We're using RabbitMQ along with Celery. Granted, this strategy ignores issues like a saturated network, but our provider is responsible for dealing with that.

How Nigeria Stopped Ebola
·
· Score: 4, Interesting
The hospital also waited until they got a positive Ebola test result back before taking any safety precautions. Staff were exposed for something like two days and administration resisted isolating the patient. The sample was sent through the normal channels for testing which potentially contaminated their tube system. High-risk individuals who treated Duncan were not placed in quarantine and they allowed something like 70 different people to come into contact with him. Then there's the issue of them initially prescribing antibiotics for a viral infection.

Also, with any optical disc storage you want to make sure to store them vertically. Gravity can do surprising things when given enough time.
I believe you're thinking of tape media, not optical. Tape needs to hang off the spools or else it will curl over time due to its weight.
Check out the study that DOD performed on M-Discs. They appear to be rock-solid :)

If you think the DualShock 4 is bad, you need to take a look at the Rez Trance Vibrator for the PS2!

What part of never talk to the police do people not understand?
I'm sorry officer, I know you're just doing your job, but I've been advised by an attorney to not answer any questions.

I'm currently working on my LOGO certification. I hear the pay can be good, especially if you've also got a background in Spirograph.

The old MiniDisc players were pretty solid. You could throw them to the pavement and they'd work just fine.
You've never worked for a large corporation, have you?
Because there's money to be made and control to be gained by solving a made up problem?
Citations please? I'm in Chicago and the kids getting shot are definitely armed.
