These are not 90ties anymore - go fix it or get bust. This is too important an issue to be left for ignorant to decide on basis of their own cost/benefit calculation especially as client's well being is not part of this calculation. Seems like a nice place for legislature to ask some tech savvy guys to specify what is absolutely needed for a regulation in an area. OC this is red tape and some such but I guess complex societal structures require appropriate solutions and isolation of certain part of your systems is not even that complex - neither to do nor to understand. It is cost of doing business.
The cars have to have (among other things) working brakes, lights etc. Your car does not have those then it usually is not allowed on the public road. I think software security or rather IT related criminality grew up in importance so much as to mandate legal requirement on businesses to for instance isolate particular parts of your system from other parts of your system. Retail or not if they have to know any details of your financial well being they must be able to be trusted to know such details. The only way to deal with general public ignorance on matters that count as important for well being of general public is by laws and law enforcement. OC businesses will go cheap if they can - the dedicated device is not cheap thus it will be replaced by generic one where everybody can do whatever they want to. A customer cannot be even expected to know status of security in a shop or even to know the difference between different pieces of intelligent HW in the shop. One cannot expect the owner to know that either - they follow the bottom line and law. If one (bottom line) is not clearly and directly indicating them not to do things then the other has to.
That is exaggerated. Software development still pays well. It does not pay as well as it did, not for anybody that has enough ability as it used to be say 30ya but still. The problem that is there for sure is that this ability being mostly in our heads means one can hire such head elsewhere as long as communication is possible. This makes for much intense global competition than it used to. Plus the automation of 'a plumber' is still decades off and automation of your skill is maybe a year or two ahead of you. There are also other factors. 'Plumber' jobs flow steadily in any big enough population center. Software jobs tend to move from one center of population to another much easier than anything else - this makes it difficult for all but stars among us to have a normal family life. I would still make the same choice at the end of my university. I would however made some other career choice along the way involving investment in own managing capabilities and better choice of procreation partner. It is too late now so I have to live with what I have. If my kids ever want to be software monkeys - so be it. I will be there I hope to support them in whatever problems they encounter. Good plumber is possibly better than good software developer. This said good lawyer is maybe better than good plumber? One thing is certain - the way our societies go a massive change is under way. Wealth is being redistributed again and google - that is somehow related to the subject of these threads is doing part of redistributing. A task for you - do you think it is distributing it within your own local society or it helps the flow in one direction? It is not only google - many platforms graze everywhere and cash in in cayman islands. But that is another story.
As for limited social interaction in software jobs - in most of the projects I worked for, the limited social interaction was a reason why they were over budget, over schedule and wobbling on quality. The only thing worse that limited social interaction in a software project is too much BS-ing sessions called also meetings that nobody prepares for so that they take hours and do not even bring a relief that a coursing session at the coffee machine brings.
The part about Island is almost true. Not sure about jails but letting the banks fail and hoping for the best was what saved Island. As for the rest it may also be that the current technological and economic changes our societies go trough will force high unemployment and possible further state failures in Europe. We are not that far yet however so your 'broken' countries are not broken yet. Or in some time scale we are all broke and if these are long enough dead too. On bankers still: I am all for decimating exercise - you want to work in finance you sign to a lottery and once a quarterly results are over a draw is done and 10% of CEOs etc go to the lions - televised of course. For those that are to faint to fight lions I think there are still ebola dead to be buried. OC at the end some figureheads would be sent to die which is why such plans never work:(
How true. If Germans were to give all their federal state debt back tomorrow they would be in default. The same is true for almost all other EU countries. I think Sweden went down with their debts in 90ties. Surprisingly Russia had low levels of sovereign debt (not sure now after a year of proxy war/scuffles with US). I was watching this default teasing in Greece this year and was wondering - they do not get any money from outside, they have no money inside so which of the maturity points will be a tipping one? This looks like as if somebody in Brussels, Frankfurt and Berlin decided Greece has to go now or stand up on its own. I suppose once in default treaties will force immediate exit from Euro zone. If not for all the poor people that are gonna suffer this would be funny.
I agree they are not Venezuela - no Chavez, no oil and yet they too are screwed. I guess having corrupt political class is a heavy burden. As well as not letting enough of the debt go. Poland which was given here as an example had admittedly better chances - country that believed the change was inevitable and beneficial for all (whether the 'beneficial for all' part was actually true is questionable as last years immigration figures prove) was given a huge relief of their debts and really committed to change at least for first few years. Sometimes you need to cut the rotten parts. But for that again you need trust to those that rule and we come again to corrupt ruling classes at home and banks that we know are no friends of radical change of the type needed.
I do not know this so I am guessing but it may be that the number of people that are so limited (deep Asperger and any such)) as to not care about anything other than 'how' is limited which means that as the/. crowd grew, they became increasingly outnumbered. You may be displeased by this of course but if you are old enough you will understand that this is unavoidable. I dislike all the information foam around subjects too. I still learned how to cope. Filter the necessary stuff yourself it is not that difficult. BTW: In some cases the infofoam carries some vital clues needed to communicate with the rest of humanity. I did not believe that either but painful lessons of the past taught me to change my perspective.
Not if that was a product of US justice system. To big a chance they would either be mentally broken or ready to kill. You deal with them yourself fuck you very much.
there are some studies that show that good students can benefit from contact with weak ones. OC this must not be a contact with drug dealing bullies that are out of control etc. US society problems is not only with its penitentiary. No amount of money thrown at US military will stop the rot that spreads inside. The fireworks over every capitol that US decided to teach a lesson were spectacular tho.
How come Finns or Danes do not have these quite serious and real problems that you describe? I am sure one can pick many other nations but even the corrupt and barbaric Russians do not look at US of A for the successful, effective and ethical way to deal with criminals but rather to Switzerland.
One you have to admit - if the bloody (rather incompetent hypocrites pretending to be) puritans went all the way and executed every criminal that the court decided is guilty, the problem with recidivism would disappear for good. Other than that US as a folk could have looked at some other countries how they deal with the problems the society has - only the US citizens in its entirety do not want to look elsewhere. This could destroy their illusion of being superior to everybody however so no chance of it happening and if so then no huge enough group of politicians can gather and change the rules of the game. Not only in penitentiary but also judiciary and also in social support systems etc But that is communism and serves the enemy or even Putin.
If one looks at other areas where US think being superior and acts like it were the results are quite bad to disastrous. One can be excused thinking that at one point their economic system dominated by finance and military complex may become unable to cope with global challenges.
Romans did not have WMD. I wonder if that was good or bad. I guess it depends....
I have worked with systems that had hard coded networking parts that were used for software management i.e. mostly installs and upgrades. In test environment we had multiple machines connected to one start server trough the switch. In some configs we had different vlans to make man installs going trough in such env. You can automate this either way. The question is:why would you and if so how would you go about it in a secure way (that is not the original question tho is it?). In some situations it is desired not to have a connection to wider networks. This is not meant as protection but one more level of difficulty for intruder - s/he has to physically plug their dirty cables into the virgin slot. OC usually this is a major vulnerability - most of such devices have no protection whatsoever, produced by SW plumber from Zamunda for spare cents ears ago when they did not about Putin palladium hackers nor NSA democracy fighters etc, no consideration and no competence enforced protective measures - you can install whatever you want if you have physical access. I wonder if this is the case here. I hope not but we know how that works...
Do we know anybody who updates software to those nifty highway toll cameras? I am sure with some digging the credentials are root/root or some other such....
In the corp I work for they had an education program for engineers like cisco and shit. Some people went but then cost cutting machine came, after that only internal courses were offered. Some went for that too. Both classes of people were as useless as managers at talking about networking issues. The fun part was fixing all different types of loops at customer suites during epic installation battles. Good that our customers were (so far) as clueless as the rest of us here are. Bottom line - the networking stuff on the level where you actually understand the question and why the post is a bit odd, goes where all other serious skill-sets went : to the cellar, where they came out from, many many years ago. I would have won lots of lots of 20$ if you were working with us:)
Which leader do you exactly mean? I think you should clearly call them as all leaders of major countries possibly involved in this discussion (i.e. about space travel) did and continue doing bizarre things. Each one in one's own little way of course but still.
Two things.
One is this: nature does not work like you guys think it does. Its power is in producing apparently senseless types like us mama's basement dwellers because they may at some point in time be important for survival of the species. As unlikely as it may sound to you. If that were not so we would not have gays among us because they would be die off. We still have them around.
Second thing is this: I am a basement type (have my own by now), I dislike social environs because they confuse me and I see no point in casual conversations in such setups, most of the normalos do not enjoy conversations with me all that much either so all is well. Yet I managed to get involved 'romantically' anyway and to pass on my genes. Well to be true I did not run the test so I just think I did - still I had some warm body to play with and reproduce. I returned to my basement years ago and go out only for exercise, work, food acquisition and some such, I also give up my basement life style when kids are around. So both things happen - random deviation in how genetic makeup works produce all different sorts of beasts and even the least attractive beast (from the perspective of majority) can find another beast ready to cooperate in reproduction like activities that, even if only accidentally, may actually produce offspring.

or if they managed to plant that is to find some traces of illegal mental state altering substances.
or seize some cash from unsuspecting tourists from say Canada eeee drug dealers I mean from drug dealers.

So if the perpetrators are still walking free that means ????

they can stay 1st class if I am one class extra above it (that would be what - business class?). Would that be ok?
What is the difference between religious, political and non affiliated wackos?
Their shit goes kaboom - so it is us who should worry.
