You confusing San Francisco with Silicon Valley. The two communities are 50 miles apart. Alas, the news media always show a picture of San Francisco when talking about Silicon Valley.
Aren't two of the three companies mentioned based in Washington? Sure there are Silicon Valley offices, but I know Amazon at least does the majority of their development in Seattle.
Rust is also native compiled like C so it's fast. Some people have even found Rust to be faster than C!
Faster because of better code. Programmers are willing to adopt a new language like Rust are probably great coders.
I know so many c++ programmers who don't effectively use the stl to speed up their code.
Also runtime languages can be faster than native code if you have the right optimizer. They can keep track of hot code blocks and optimize the hottest sections at runtime. Unfortunately statically compiled languages can't adapt dynamically to execution.
Most people's subjective analysis of runtime languages is based on java which has a terrible amount of overhead when doing the symbol lookups when the program first starts up. Plus the Java guys hate AoT compilation. I'm not saying Java is faster, but it's definitely slower when it first comes up.
A random Slashdot user with the crudest understanding of a hybrid I've ever read. Electric motors have low end torque, so you don't have to Rev up to get moving and they recover power instead of wasting braking energy as heat.
Not to mention if you ever did manage to sink that much power into your cell phone it would likely melt, require a beefy alternator and it would significantly affect your gas mileage.
Transplantation of pig snouts and ears. I always thought miss piggy was sexy. Why stop with pigs? We can give a whole new meaning to hung like a horse.
The sad thing is that a majority of Americans on both sides are turned off by tech savvy politicians. The last thing they want to do is come off as being a nerd. Hopefully this will change, but it might take a decade or two.
Wasn't it Hillary using her own personal email server?
I wish the survey was more specifically polling tech workers, since most tech workers that I've talked to could care less which moron gets elected president. Sure we debate it, but it's insignificant compared to tech news. The beauty of working in tech is that we do more to affect positive change more than any politician could ever hope to, so it's harder to get disillusioned.
We have our fair share of abuse against prostitutes. Some of which is clearly sexual slavery. Please don't minimize it by suggesting it doesn't happen here.
The perceived danger of Trump in a 4 years term is worse than the actual danger. He'll be fighting against establishment Republicans in congress and ALL Democrats. Without that support, he'll have a hard time abusing his executive powers like many of our Presidents have. One dangerous thing about him is he calls people on their shit, which is ironically what Anonymous is kinda known for. He's not even the front runner in the polls between Hillary and Trump.
Anonymous can waste their time on American politics, but this seems ridiculous when there are issues that inspire far more consensus. Also, Trump finds ways to turn negative actions against him into poll numbers, so I wonder how counter-productive this all is.
*with a tinfoil hat on head* Maybe this was all orchestrated by his campaign.
I'm not moving up there. It's fucking cold. My buying power is shit in California, but that's not why I live here. I can walk to the beach and work on tech. It keeps me from losing my mind from paying $1700 in rent each month.
The problem is a false sense of security due to draconian development processes put in place to accommodate FDA oversight. It creates unhealthy dynamics that lead to poor security.
The number of Linux kernel currently running on mobile dwarfs XNU. Windows 7 dominates Desktop. Apple does better on Desktop than Linux, but this is becoming less relevant.
Many EULAs are so poorly written I question how enforceable they are. Who has time to read hundreds of pages of poorly written dribble? Can't we just all agree on a few well written EULAs and force companies to pick from those?
Suppose my father is 1/2 Irish and 1/2 German and my mother is 1/2 Spanish and 1/2 French. I would be 1/4 Irish, 1/4 German, 1/4 Spanish and 1/4 French. This is how ethnicity works.
Let's suppose that being Jewish is an ethnicity. Now suppose my mother is Jewish and my father is not Jewish at all. I would be 100% Jewish. That's not how ethnicities work. Therefore being Jewish is a religious thing.
And it's impossible to renounce your Jewishness, so your identity is force upon you by a religion you may not believe in. Other jews will define you by it. It seems strange to me.
Yeah, but they had to throw Microsoft in the title because this is/. after all. Microsoft discounts are immaterial to this case, but it helps it get posted here. These guys stole money by committing fraud. I'm sure they tried to hide their tracks in a number of different ways before finding this latest trick that got them caught.
People have been pirating music for years and yet Amazon and iTunes still manage to make money selling music. It's hard keeping the honest people honest when the only legitimate way to play these games is by using machines that haven't been sold for years.
From my experience many companies do things on the cheap and then keep it around forever. Fortunately any robust ORM should make any name work with relatively little effort as long as the length is less than 255. Unfortunately many developers still write code like it's 1999.
These guys are charged with "hacking", but accidently stumbling on a bug and exploiting it doesn't necessarily make you a hacker. Additionally, it clearly doesn't prove any sort of intelligence. Hacking in my opinion requires a bit more intent and insight, which usually is associated with a bit more intelligence than that possessed by this group of buffoons.
They didn't even have to modify the machine in any way to exploit this. Come on! Hacking? Seriously?
Slashdot Mirror
1. Don't use txt for 2FA.
2. Generate authentication tokens in a trusted machine inside your cell phone (i.e. trust zone)
Or
Use a separate RSA token generator.
Either way txt is the worst idea for 2FA.
2FA only makes it harder for hackers. I'd like to see a the types of mass account compromises that we see with password auth alone.
So let's calm down and don't go overboard
I really don't want to give women another excuse to bug me about email login issues. You know how exhausting it is to give out free samples all day.
If they can't be trusted with sharing then unfriendly them.

Aren't we past the point of requiring native clients?
WebRTC has taken over and web standards are becoming more capable all the time. If Microsoft doesn't step up their game they will be replaced.

Oh... who doesn't APP while they CRAP?
Let's talk about kernels.
The number of Linux kernel currently running on mobile dwarfs XNU. Windows 7 dominates Desktop. Apple does better on Desktop than Linux, but this is becoming less relevant.
Linux also dominates the cloud.

Clearly the FBI is happy about this one. They like vulnerable devices.
Of all the devices to gain root on I'm fairly certain a DVR is one of the lamest. Wake me up when someone does something interesting with it.
