"And another 38 percent either store tax documents on their computer's hard drive or in the cloud, approaches that are susceptible to a variety of hacks." - really? So, other than a local storage ("hard drive") or remote storage ("cloud"), what other approaches are there to storing documents that are not susceptible to any hacks? Paper printouts?:) This article is brought to you by association of paper manufacturers.
Encrypt your hard drive, choose good passwords for your cloud storage and don't share them with others. Your data is at most risk at your doctors office, btw (where they have all of your personal information, along with SSN and family records). I had 2 notifications of personal information theft from doctor's billing processor's offices in the last 2 years.
I happen to visit a forum of US immigrants of certain Eastern-European origin. Most are in IT jobs, and came here by way of H1B visa (though significant portion have been sponsored for a permanent residency by now). They are largely vehemently pro-Trump, islamophobic (and generally harbor great dislike and disdain for all "brown people", be that middle-easterners, hispanics or asians). I find the current situation not a little ironic - in a way wouldn't it be poetic justice if they were hit by the very policies they so feverishly support?
Not that I specifically wish this upon anyone or their family, but if the choice must be made - these people surely deserve it more than refugees from war-torn countries.
I am not sure they are really trying too hard in the first place. I speak Mandarin (have been studying for many years), have a good resume and appropriate technical background, and spent substantial time in China to have a general idea of how things are - yet I have never been able to attract interest of any Chinese company. Given what I know about their local tech workforce, that's not at all surprising. They have excellent pool of well qualified candidates.
That's not to say that article does not bring good points - internet use in China is encumbered and painful. But that's has little to do with "attracting tech talent".
I don't go to theaters and I don't really value early access. The movie will be just the same in a few months. If anything, it allows some time for things to shake out, and some sort of opinion on the movie to be established, so when the time comes - I can judge whether it is worth watching.
I did notice that quite a few local theaters shut down in the last several years. The remaining ones lean heavily on 3D.
The one theater that not only did not shut down, but renovated and expanded recently exists solely to screen older movies (those that are out of major theaters recently or, sometimes, much older but popular films) and has really cheap ticket prices ($10 standard price and discounts for some movies/times).
I think ultimately going to the movie *is* about the experience. That experience is more about sitting in a large darkened room in a cushy chair (eating popcorn if that's your thing), than seeing the latest release.
There is a crucial difference here - all of Spotify users are there for the music, while only a (small) percentage of Youtube users are using it to listen to music. If we take the actual count of users who use Youtube to listen to the music, the royalty per year would be quite a bit more. Of course MPAA is probably next in line for the handout, so Youtube should be careful there.
You can just see thousands of divorce lawyers rejoicing (and petitioning Google to make this the default on all family accounts...wait, do they have family accounts?)
Chinese are too straightforward for this type of thinking. It is beyond them that someone may ignore basic facts and claim 2+2=5, and a large swathe of population would cheer on and support that claim.
Now that Trump won the election, Assange is no longer needed. Notice how the stream of "revelations" suddenly dried up. He has nothing more to offer, and he probably knows too much.
Now he's a liability. Everyone wants him gone - Trump camp, Clinton camp, the Russians, you name it.
He may expect to be paid back handsomely, but if you ever watched any movies, you know what happens to his character. I suspect he will be disposed off quietly (which, given the kind of crapweasel he proven himself to be, is not going to make many people sad) IMHO
Swiss have a much lower rate of SPC (*) than average, about x10 lower than USofA, of which this discussion is an excellent reminder. * - shitheads per capita.
The "ruling counsel" (also known as the Congress) can most certainly overturn Obamacare, they are the ones that passed it in the first place. They can also under certain circumstances impeach the President. That's the purpose of having an elected representative body.
"Direct democracy" is a failed concept, in particular in a current memory-challenged meme-driven social environment. Democracy based on elected parliament seeks to create a balance between current and fluid public opinion and the need to maintain a meaningful course in governing.
IMHO, referendum is not a valid political tool and should not ever be used.
Will probably look like new. If these are indeed touchscreen keys, there is no thin layer of paint on the surface to wear off. The upper surface is glass, just like an iPhone screen, and does not suffer significant wear from constant touching.
Please tell me "optimized storage" can be turned off wholesale. If there is one thing I definitely don't need it's a "whole bunch" more of background processes uploading random files to the remote server and deleting them from my local drive. I will manage what I store and where, thank you very much.
I guess I am sounding like an old fart I am, but MacOS is going too far in dumbing it down.
Do slashdot editors even bother checking sources? Or have this site finally found found its place among tabloids? LMGTFY - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_American_Physicians_and_Surgeons ("The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) is a politically conservative non-profit association founded in 1943 to "fight socialized medicine and to fight the government takeover of medicine."[1][2] The group was reported to have approximately 4,000 members in 2005, and 5,000 in 2014....The association is generally recognized as politically conservative or ultra-conservative, and its publication advocates a range of scientifically discredited theories, including the belief that HIV does not cause AIDS, that being gay reduces life expectancy, that there is a link between abortion and breast cancer, and that there are links between autism and vaccinations."
I do find it interesting that even these shills were only able to muster 250 out of 5000 members to sign this crap. I guess even in that group 95% are not willing to completely disavow their responsibility as doctors. In that they are already better humans than whatever slashdot editor that posted this.
C has what problem? Lack of social media popularity with hipster morons? It's a programming language, not a popularity contest. This kind of shit lately on slashdot really starts getting old. Who runs this place?

I don't think there is much respect left for "evidence chain", in particular wrt. non-US-citizens.

Most of those "users" are just throwaway mailboxes. You could probably create a database of the same value by generating random usernames @yahoo.com

They have enough useless crap as it is.

That would, actually, be an interesting project.
Where are the mod points when you need them?

Because someone's got to pay for it.
It's written by Russians, I wouldn't expect any different.
Why does Google have to be so anti-Trump?

Isn't that the same fix Boeing used for the 787? I guess Samsung will also send every Note 7 buyer a metal fireproof container to keep the device in.
Posted AC - must be true, then.
