The company hopes to attract more businesses with the optional feature
they seemed to have forgotten the part where the employee has choose to use it. i wouldnt be surprised if they lose all their users in a month's time to a similar application that isn't spyware.
lately, US news and politics are more vapid and transparent than grumpy cat's take on things. the reality is that our political system is really because voters are gullible enough to thing they have a choice about what happens when it's really a one party system. the news spews lies about everything like it's DEFCON 1 everyday when they are speaking of meaninal bullshit. meanwhile there are serious matters that has caused a massive schism in the middle class and shit is hitting the fan. if you protest you are either cordoned off and ignored and/or abused by the police which are not help accountable for their actions. can you blame us for wanting an escape? (psst, the answer is here)
people got them into their current situation and people are keeping them there, it's that simple. it's a global problem, it's just worse in some areas.
the most universally relevant reason being that systemd has a HUGE attack surface. the other reasons all feed into this one issue, it's a blaring and blindingly bright security issue.
Do you really believe that IBM, Oracle, RedHat, HP, CenturyLink,... are not going to be addressing security problems if and when they emerge?
with thinking like that, you might as well start using Windows because Microsoft will fix it too. the point is that it's a needless complexity that increases the risk of critical/exploitable bugs occurring.
the issue isnt with systemd per se, the issue is systemd becoming a dependency of things that should not require it. for example, since systemd decided to eat udev, that means that every package that used udev now needs systemd. if you use any of the major desktops, it is a requirement. one the upside, it's fuelling the development of other desktops environments.
... let people who do not want systemd simply configure their system either so that systemd will start regular sys v init or bsd type scripts, or let them change/bin/init to point to the alternatifve init system of their choice.
there is a problem with that, it means systemd is running. there is an additional opposition to systemd itself, the most universally relevant reason being that systemd has a HUGE attack surface. the other reasons all feed into this one issue, it's a blaring and blindingly bright security issue.
btw, if you are GNOME2/MATE holdout trying to escape systemd like me, consider using LxQt. it's still a work in progress but it's usable as an everyday desktop environment.

For now 3D printing only seems to have two real advantages: versatility (especially important if you only have the space/budget for a few manufacturing tools), and the ability to create geometry that is essentially impossible with any other manufacturing process.
not true at all! a huge advantage is the price of making a one-off part. $1K for a mold you are only going to use once is very prohibitive.
cut out the bliss point bullshit that makes your products addictive and everyone will be doing better. fewer people will develop type II diabetes and you will have a viable long term strategy. what's that? you dont want to affect your profits despite being a sound strategy? hmm, sounds like you are the problem.
create a Mars colony, build the tallest skyscraper in North America, run a marathon, take a shower, get a girlfriend, be employed, move more than 50 meters at a time, eat healthy, have basic decency, or grasp what "personal space" is but doggonit, I think he's great!
I don't agree. I've seen non-computer related products that were built to last. They lasted 5 times longer then their competitors, but cost twice as much.
In the end, they weren't commercially successful because cheap beat everything else in this market segment. However, I still wouldn't call them poor products. It's simply that people either didn't value or couldn't evaluate the product.
you seem to have a complete lack of understanding of the difference between an item and a product.
If Intel's product is actually better, they wouldn't have to make such bold predictions because people will want it. This is just more marketing bullshit.
1) "So where did the "five year" timeline come from?"
Some Sandworm attacks also use five older vulnerabilities that have already been patched. The exploits are used to install various versions of BlackEnergy, a malicious tool used by cybercriminals. The tool gained notoriety in 2008 when botnets infected with the malware were used to launch denial-of-service attacks against systems in Georgia during a standoff between that country and Russia.
2) "wishy washy explanation from ISight's John Hullquist on his claim about the hackers being Russian"
Hulquist said he believed they were supported by a nation state because they were engaging in espionage, not cyber crime.
crime can be anyone, espionage is reserved for a very select set of parties. it's a mere matter of deduction but feel free to believe what you wish, just stop posting it.
While cashless might make sense to a middle class with easy access to technology and banks, there is a significant percentage of the population does not have access to such things and they probably will not any time soon. As much as 10% of the US population has no bank access, no SS ID, no IDs of any type, etc.
I would love a smart watch but it would be more like computer on your forearm. the problem is the requirements are has, a highres display that flexes in three dimensions, sticks to your arm using the van der waals force (like gecko feet), uses heat from your body for power, weighs less than a 10 grams and is 1mm thick. It's not impossible, my idea is just an expression of several "almost there" technologies.
If you research Musk, you will find that this isnt about the money. Making electric cars are an extremely risky endeavor and it almost ruined him. If it was for the money, he just would have made sporty cars.

fuck you, i have awesome social skills and i'll break the face of anyone who says otherwise!

do they ever say when their classified system gets breached? no, of course not, it would let people know how laughable their security really is.
it seems like more and more old people are dying in hang gliding accidents these days.
it's still better than Windows 8. :)
I dont see an issue with systemd,
the issue isnt with systemd per se, the issue is systemd becoming a dependency of things that should not require it. for example, since systemd decided to eat udev, that means that every package that used udev now needs systemd. if you use any of the major desktops, it is a requirement. one the upside, it's fuelling the development of other desktops environments.

it would take a very long time and huge effort to approach the unbelievably complex sophistication of the immune system
so... when do they start integrating it into systemd? ;)

good day.
Not true. Intel's problem is not that they have inferior product, it's that customers don't want fast more than they want cheap.
price is a property of a product. your chip can have the best tech specs but if it's overpriced then it's a poor product.
If Intel's product is actually better, they wouldn't have to make such bold predictions because people will want it.
This is just more marketing bullshit.
this was a zero day vulnerability... THREE WEEKS AGO.

Google's after the defense contractor market now...developing/marketing Glass as a consumer product was an afterthought and mostly for PR, imho
it's neither humble nor an opinion, it's a delusion.

"would reveal law enforcement techniques and procedures"
in other words, it would expose your illegal activities. gotcha.
