son: what ever happened to the time when we owned a movie studio? grandfather: oh it was a magical time. we hired actors and writers and musicians. we had neat ideas and we tried our best at first to make the greatest films we could think of with the best actors.

We cranked out 15 ghost busters and another 25 twilight movies. in the end, I think the Fast and the Furious 185 was about a talking irish cat? i cant remember.

companies themselves can decrypt devices, but police cannot.
the model we actually mean is through a secret FISA court, the company can be compelled to decrypt a phone. since the San Bernadino case was bungled --it used real courts instead of kangaroo courts-- manufacturers have no choice but to implement a system where they are no longer part of the cryptographic chain. customers dont care if their data is used by manufacturers in the pursuit of heavy handed capitalism, but theyre more than outraged about the notion that their trusted lifestyle vendors are somehow feeding private information into the hands of a government that has been demonized by politicians for 40 years.
the rules have been written. you cannot have cloud, which is infinite money for rented imaginary property, without security from an incessant police state (or one so perceived.)
ever since lenovo/ibm started adding finger swipes to their laptops, biometrics have been handily dismissed as entirely insecure. iphone thumbreaders have been bypassed with 3d printings of the deceased's fingers. and even simple scans and printouts of thumbs and fingers have been more than enough to render the technology ineffective.
the solution is complex passphrases, hardened keystores, and challenge limits. if you cant guess the password in 3 attempts, you now have to wait $N amount of time. if you cant guess it in $X attempts, the device destroys its private keys.
Windows 10 "telimetry" data is everything from a browser history monitor to a keylogger. You couldnt get more dystopian if you ate a copy of 1984. The government knows it doesnt need to go far for data from windows users....those pesky Linux kids though....
I'm an unfortunate fan of dodgy vindaloo, so let me offer a bit of advice to Googles half-billion dollar order of curry.
1. If it comes with naan, eat it. that will usually buy you 5-10 minutes on the train ride home...
2. Ignore your doubts, if the kitchen sounds like world war 3, and the chef looks like a war refugee, that currys going to be epic.
3. pay attention to your doubts. if the bollywood music playing in the shop sounds clear, and theres less than an inch of dust on the sexually suggestive ethnic portraits, that curry is going to need a diaper with it.
4. pick routes with lots of pubs. sure, that curry shop might only be 3 blocks from your house, but stumbling dazed from toilet to toilet on the way home is common. The barman always knows dehli belly when he sees it.
5. If you've eaten kebab for lunch, and follow it up with curry for dinner, make sure your 4:00 tea includes a last will and testament.
bullshit. Speaking as someone who grew up on a farm, almost no independent farmer "buys" a tractor. Its all leased seasonally or yearly, depending on what/when you need it. These manufacturers have a constant stream of interest payments and down payments coming from their own financial lending firms.
A Claas-Axion, used: is $140,000. assuming youve got a lot more than 100 acres, youre going to need a xerion...which again used is more than 200 grand. Do you want to harvest those crops too? you wont be buying Claas because theyre harder than hens teeth to find. John Deere is going to run you through the ringer for another $335,000 "9 series" combine that will refuse to start for almost any code.
so in short, no one on a farm owns a tractor and if they do its 50 years old. Youre hearing more about the DMCA iissue because shops are wising up and refusing to carry replacement and repair parts, at the behest of people like Deere that want to move more new stock in a car dealership model.
The solution to our definition of terrorism isn't some sort of panopticon of surveillance. The soviet attempt to quell unpatriotic behaviour in mass surveillance was only moderately successful in doing anything more than converting droves of citizens against the cause of the state. The chinese solution of blanket surveillance is so broken as to be unusable. with an untenable dearth of bulk garbage collected monthly the only solution is to ignore it, invent your charges, and hope they stick. most citizens have modern, functional VPN to subvert whats essentially a very expensive boilerplate.
the solution to americas terrorism problem is a review and modernization of our foreign policy from the carter doctrine of middle eastern interventionism. democracy as a pretext for dominionism has never been accepted outside of the US citizenry. its a fairy tale we tell ourselves through the nightly news to avoid the uncomfortable truth that we grant ourselves unfettered access to foreign resources through a rudimentary network of hollow dictators and an unspoken drone assassination campaign with no accountability. When youve made a group of people determined with nothing to lose, stripped them of security and purchase in their own land, and then marginalized their self-determination to a handful of platitudes about trade then they can and will strike back in a myriad of unpredictable means. your choice is to either chase the white dragon until you've exhausted all your resources in defense and you can no longer sustain the moral pretext of armed service, or you can stop the madness and focus on issues that kill far more of your citizenry than actual terrorism. heart disease, car crashes, alcoholism, and gun crime.
that which can be more effectively explained by stupidity. Skiddies will always claim victory for instability. Niantic likely supports GO authentication servers in shared hosting/colocation outsourced datacenters. Its far more likely Niantic is either under-resourcing their Pokemon infrastructure to control costs for a largely free game, or that their infrastructure scales poorly with the particular code used to run pokemon GO. its also possibly that hasty configurations like NAT instead of DSR or a lack of IPv6 infrastructure could be bottle-necking large amounts of authentication traffic, or if it truly is a DDoS then Niantic is just choosing to ignore it rather than escalate to things like prolexic or hiring more network staff to address the problem.
the different types of cybercrime I found fascinating. For example in England sophisticated viruses and worms are mostly to blame, while in northern ireland its some unemployed chav named Connor beating your head in with an old Model M keyboard until you give him fifty quid and whatever you picked up at the chipper.
I think this is an excellent choice, and sure to help Trumps candidacy but on an unrelated note i hope the Trump team can lend a little insight into a common american problem:
you see, ive spent 2 years polishing a giant turd in my backyard, but i cant seem to figure out how to get it to shine. I put it next to a pretty woman, no deal. I set it next to an ugly stack of papers about Benghazi, but that didnt work either. I even took my turd and used it to smear other turds to make them seem less shiny than my turd...but im not entirely clear that did anything since nobody seems to like any of the turds.

but given the million other pieces of garbage that get "featured placement" its hard to see how this would help an app developer if they already have an appreciable enough following to attract the attention of "planet of the apps"
and funding from top-tier VCs.
So take your BSD and your GPL licenses, print out a copy, and stuff it right up your ass. When these guys are done your once interesting project now comes with a myriad of new data access requirements, branded tie-ins, and advertising channel demands. your releases are now their releases, and youll do kindly to keep working at their pace.

10-15 years ago i made a vigorous proposal to move all software developers into silicon valley for easier categorization. Cattle ranchers would be moved into cattle valley, and car repairmen would be moved into car valley (this makes indexing and normalization easier.) problems began to mount from the start. Some people complained they "didnt want to leave" their friends and family. others answered back with "sure ill move but i dont have a job" and "when will i see my wife again, you told me she was safe." Whiners.
Anyhow once id approacher 40% of developers I noticed they didnt stack well, and many of them complained of food shortages and transportation problems. Id instituted a "no family" policy to try and remedy this, and it worked for a while, until people told me that id have to find a way to get new software developers imported. Constructing a giant tube, i used it to hydraulically propel anyone from about age 17 on who tweeted even a cursory interest in software into my silicon valley. things were working well, so long as once weekly I greased all my programmers so they could move freely in the valley and made sure to flood their cubicles with nutrition slurry once or twice a day. Then the real issues started to mount. once id hit 80% of all developers, their combined mass and pressure was enough to begin to elicit a gravitational field. Project managers now had to come with an escape velocity equation in their salary, and pizzas from neighbouring cities were delivered from 3 miles outside the valley by letting go of the pie and hoping for the best. I unfortunately had to give up on my grand vision of a valley of programmers when a rogue sysadmin at a rest stop accidentally flew into the valley and impacted it with enough force to blanket the valley in a dark cloud of coffee beans and office chairs. its now a cold, barren wasteland inhabited by a race of creatures that subsist entirely on fried meat and energy drinks. they communicate in an arcane language of 3 letter abbreviations and social justice causes.

during brute force attacks, sequential reads from disk into RAM contribute to the overall MTBF and MTTF statistics for the hardware. depending on how old the disk is and how complex the encryption, you could very well end up with a nontrivial number of missing sectors and potentially corrupted data on the disk just from thrashing it for personal gain. depending on the encryption, any writes will also contribute to things like SSD write life...controller actifity like purging deletes or any other administrativa undertaken by the OS as part of housekeeping are also nontrivial during long running attempts to crack asymmetric cryptography.
some are outraged that Sanders has decided to endorse her, but it bears remembering: Al gore once campaigned on the open rejection of the policy that US GDP will increase by 30% in the wake of americas addiction to overconsumption of carbon-heavy resources. A few months later, once appointed to the winning candidates office, he approved a massive trade agreement with china.
I suspect sanders sees the writing on the walls. Its not relevant anymore what elected leaders are told to do by the gilded elite. Massive routine civil unrest in the past 4 years from occupy to blm, combined with unsustainable levels of incarceration and blanket surveillance have galvanised most public opinion ubiquitously against the elite. It frankly doesnt matter what Hillary does, from nationalized healthcare to free college she faces no repercussion from a ruling corporate class that have no other party to turn to.
However if you dont like the party or the candidate, the largest act of protest you can engage in is failure to spend and buy. After 9/11 George Bush didnt tell us to brainstorm more effective foreign policy, or invest in alternative energy, he told us to go out to the malls and shop.
When I first heard Surface as a Service, I envisioned a system where I could blow a whistle and from around a corner a sweat-drenched, breathless, and slightly bloated Steve Ballmer would bolt, full-tilt toward my being with a mighty "woooooooo!" and a surface in each greasy paw and a Microsoft phone the size of a prison lunch tray strapped to his hip.
Anyone have specs for niantic servers or hardware? Usually game companies just farm this out to saas or pass like softlayer and pay no real price when a cluster of shared vps shit the bed from exhaustive jvm load. I wouldn't be surprised of GO servers were java.
every time i see some weird killswitch legislation proposed in the UK im boggled as to how this gets implemented...I mean, if I were a UK sysadmin would I just be handed a list of network routes I had to drop? or is there a python script i write that scrapes emails from my boss to figure out who I send nastygrams to after shutting down their server?
What if the server is a virtual host? do i have to shut everything down then? a single route? all routes? Just because little catherine saw her first penis, does it mean I have to suspend an account that controls the website for a favourite tea brand?
As someone who works in professional lighting and sound systems for a company in Los Angeles, I cant think of a worse decision than an IMAX theatre in your home. youre literally just buying it for the brand.
you get dual 4K 2D/3D projectors
And the subsequent headache of trying to source your favourite films in a format compatible with an imax 4k implementation. Enjoy your titles that never came out in an IMAX format because the studio didnt want to spend the money. IMAX projection units are also liquid cooled, require signed hardware and media, and typically require an internet connection.
a proprietary IMAX sound system
IMAX has no "sound system." it has a rough set of guidelines for theatre based on dimensions of the room, usually "huge." That having been said, most theatres run EV amps and a combination of Electrovoice or JBL drivers based on cost in your market. scaling this to the size of a home theater means you end up with image problems in the audio. It also means you wind up with a lot of pointless extras like compander/limiter setups that theaters use but you really wont.
a media playback system that supports everything you might want to throw at it
That...already exists. its called a home theater receiver or if you're raking in cut-rate lawyer money its something like a leviton system. but beware...once this is installed you really cant just "plug in" whatever new thing comes along and hope it to work. while a modern digital multiplexer might come with 30 ports, most are shut off until you buy a firmware license that lets you use them.
all in all the biggest concern for this IMAX-in-the-home is the enormous amount of power draw and cooling required just to get 18 of your friends to gloat about your wealth. anyone with the sense could set up something comparable...and if you pick up a magic marker you can probably freehand draw the "IMAX" logo wherever you like.
Does anyone outside of a fortune 10 still write.NET?
Microsoft is coming to the party about a decade late here. First they wanted to be the next Apple, and when that didnt pan out and they couldnt release competitor hardware that wasnt 4 years late, they started rolling out open source, BSD, and a linux cloud offering in the hopes to one day become IBM...or some subset thereof. They see the writing on the wall.
People dont run Azure unless theres some reason you need Microsoft in the cloud, and even then its a hard sell when proposing alternatives with a 15 year track record like hosted exchange. Windows 10 isnt being run by corporations, its being jackbooted into the home with non-negotiable upgrades to desktop systems. most developers are already very happy with linux/OSS offerings like containers and engine yard. If we wanted portability, the gold standard is the java in everyones smartphone. if we wanted scaleability there are plenty of other opportunities with C or erlang that run circles around.net. People arent running things in azure because its a cloud platform, theyre doing it because Azure is tied into their corporate service and license contracts as an inextricable component of some arcane 80's power lunch style discount. And developers arent writing software in windows because its their preference or its more reliable.
I work in an analytical simulation lab, and as a sysadmin these guys are notorious for sharing their passwords either out of an inability to understand unix file permissions or out of callous disregard. I was told when I joined that "this is just how it is" and that kind of management level complacency is what i think drove it all.
my solution was 3 fold. First, I expired everyones password. Next,
departments are restricted to their specific laptops and workstations. Analytics should not be logging into design workstations, or vice versa. And finally, yubikey for anyone who needs access to finite elements or VPN, or simulator hardware that runs in a test chamber. The whole thing required serious management buy-in, which was easily the hardest part. It also required me to train users on posix permissions and how to properly collaborate in a unix-like environment, which for most newer college grads was completely foreign. greybeards in the labs were a huge help here.
you have to trust in something -- your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
"...except for my gut, which combined with Karma and a criminally illiterate understanding of human morphology and disease led me to try eating fruit to cure cancer."

First they wanted to be the next Apple, and when that didnt pan out and they couldnt release competitor hardware that wasnt 4 years late, they started rolling out open source, BSD, and a linux cloud offering in the hopes to one day become IBM...or some subset thereof. They see the writing on the wall.
People dont run Azure unless theres some reason you need Microsoft in the cloud, and even then its a hard sell when proposing alternatives with a 15 year track record like hosted exchange. Windows 10 isnt being run by corporations, its being jackbooted into the home with non-negotiable upgrades to desktop systems. most developers are already very happy with linux/OSS offerings like containers and engine yard. If we wanted portability, the gold standard is the java in everyones smartphone. if we wanted scaleability there are plenty of other opportunities with C or erlang that run circles around
I work in an analytical simulation lab, and as a sysadmin these guys are notorious for sharing their passwords either out of an inability to understand unix file permissions or out of callous disregard. I was told when I joined that "this is just how it is" and that kind of management level complacency is what i think drove it all.
my solution was 3 fold. First, I expired everyones password. Next, departments are restricted to their specific laptops and workstations. Analytics should not be logging into design workstations, or vice versa. And finally, yubikey for anyone who needs access to finite elements or VPN, or simulator hardware that runs in a test chamber. The whole thing required serious management buy-in, which was easily the hardest part. It also required me to train users on posix permissions and how to properly collaborate in a unix-like environment, which for most newer college grads was completely foreign. greybeards in the labs were a huge help here.
you have to trust in something -- your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
"...except for my gut, which combined with Karma and a criminally illiterate understanding of human morphology and disease led me to try eating fruit to cure cancer."
