Why would you go to Foxconn to request something like this? They don't have a US manufacturing capability. Of course it's going to be expensive as hell to build it from the ground up. Why wouldn't they solicit a bid from one of the US based contract manufacturers?
I'll be able to sleep at night knowing that they have rid this world of these awful pirate scum.
one of the biggest raids ever seen in the country.
Really? Is this really how Ukrainians want their tax money spent? Kowtowing to the MPAA? I have a feeling you wouldn't have to ask too many people over there to find better ways they would like their money spent.
Your daughter's "reproductive rights" will be fine
Unless you live in Texas (down to one operating abortion clinic, last I heard) or anywhere else in the country that feels as though the rights of cells outweighs the rights of a living breathing human being.
You kid yourself if you don't think this particular issue is going to come up in an administration that is 100% controlled by the Republicans. That isn't a Trump bash or a poke at the republicans. It is an observation based on facts stated by those particular people. Bible Belt Republicans were licking their chops, looking at Roe v Wade as soon as the election results started coming in.
Um. I guess I don't know what to say. Probably because I don't understand what the hell you just said. "I find the Obama administration insulting" "I'm a programmer, and old." "Something about spying and stealing computers and celebrities." "I'm in a computer." "Something about being on the wrong side of being a human." "There are fakes (at least half of them) up somewhere and they aren't politicians" "Change"
This. 110% this. That (besides the misogyny and bigotry) is my biggest problem with Trump. Outside of a few social issues, nobody has any clue what his policy on anything will be.
I'm confused. I read the linked e-mail. It's a bunch of quotes from Republicans raising concerns about Trump's attitude, interactions, and policy proposals. How is this an effort to "stir up world peace" by the Dems? Every quote in that e-mail is from a Republican.
1) The device ships in "Insecure, please rape the shit out of me!" mode, with open Telnet, and a default root password.
And will only stay on in "rape me" mode for 5 minutes at a time, if the config process hasn't been completed it shuts off until the user unplugs it and plugs it back in. And the default password shouldn't be "password" or "000000" it should be unique to the device, this day and age there is no reason you can't generate a random password during manufacturing and put a sticker on the side of it.
That way somebody can honest to god actually secure their device after purchase. You know, disable that open Telnet daemon, change the default root password, and use some hard to crack 4096bit keys for SSH that aren't all over the damn net.
Sure, I bet my grandpa, who just wants a DVR to record his outdoor cameras, will be able to accomplish what you just outlined. I mean, I certainly understand that what you are describing needs to be accomplished, it is has just been proven (time and time again) that the end user isn't going to do it.
From my armchair perspective of what's going on, these devices aren't getting exploited by some hard-to-find backdoor, they are getting exploited by having the same damn password on every device that ships. THAT is an easy problem to solve, and it doesn't require the end user to have a CS degree.
who is Trump supposedly going to start this nuclear war with?
Whoever accuses him of having small hands, or a small penis, or stupid hair, or whoever provokes him in the slightest way.
Ok, but in all seriousness, yes, the commander in chief has the ultimate power and in theory could launch a nuclear war. In theory. In practice, I assume, there are calmer heads in the room that would say "I know sir. Yes, your hands are huge sir. I don't think nuking Afghanistan is a good idea sir." As much as I'm not a Trump supporter, I don't think that one person is capable of destroying (or fixing, for that mater) this country.
Not saying this to be crass, but do people actually utilize laptops (laptop screens) for development purposes? I've tried, it sucks. I mean it's fine in a pinch, but there is no way I'd use a 15" laptop screen for any extended period of time, I don't care how "pretty" it is. I currently carry a SP4. The high DPI display sure looks nice, but it still sucks to do any real work on without being hooked up to two 24" external monitors.
Why can(sic) they use a sand pit instead...An equivalent area of sand would work just as well...
Damn, I doubt anybody even considered that as on option, or tested it and proved if it worked not. Too bad you weren't on the project, you could have saved us millions!
Gab.ai basically just recreated twitter on a shoestring budget... [emphasis mine]
Twitter had 8 employees in 2008, what's your point? Link Could any IT person worth his or her salary copy twitter's functionality with 7 other people's help? Yeah, I would hope so. Could those 8 people scale that company to from 0 users to a public company with 300 million users? No chance in hell. I'm not saying I know what all 3xxx people at Twitter do or if they are doing anything "useful", but I still question op's logic of how he came up with 100 workers. That seems a little light, and is most likely a number derived by someone who doesn't know what they are talking about.
Twitter at best could easily function with under 100 employees
Curious what your basis is for that analysis? Is it an in-depth knowledge of Twitter's infrastructure, research initiatives, and regulatory needs? Or is it an armchair analysis consisting of "twitter is basically text messaging on the Internet, so it can't be that complicated."
The old ones will retire. The young ones will find something else to do. The ones that are too young to retire, but too old to be software engineers will continue driving the trucks we will still need because we aren't going to replace 100% of the trucks on the road with autonomous ones overnight. Just like the blacksmiths, buggy makers, and COBOL programmers that came before them that were replaced with something better.
Apparently you haven't been to ND. They literally close the interstates down during severe weather, and it's a significant penalty to drive on them when closed.
Well, that is one hell of a fact finding mission you went on there.
This page and this image would disagree with your assessment. SD looks about the same, pipeline avoids established reservations. Didn't look at Iowa.
So I'm allowed to accompany any person committing a crime, so long as I'm filming it? Doesn't seem to hold water. The best I can tell, she was trespassing on Enbridge property, that makes her guilty of trespassing. And shutting down an active pipeline isn't a protest, aside from being a monumentally stupid idea, it is a crime.

Some of the images coming out make the photos of civil rights clashes in the 60's look tame.
And the images of burning vehicles, blocked highways, and burning tires make the people "peacefully protesting" look like Hippocrates.

it needed to upgrade servers to keep up
500 Internal Server Error. Apparently not enough of an upgrade. Hopefully they are better at building computers than they are at running websites. =)
If by "known" you mean "believed", then sure.
