The MSI offers a number of GPO switches so a domain admin can do things like disable auto-updates, disable extensions from being installed, black- or whitelist individual extensions, etc. You're commenting like you've never actually done this, which is probably why you're being downvoted.

By comparison, Chrome for Enterprise currently offers only about a dozen GPO switches and IE6 offers 1300, but the dozen they chose cover about 90% of possible use cases and the team is working on adding more all the time, as they are justified.
Works great for me on Chromium 9.0.572, Ubuntu 10.10, Macbook Pro 3,1. 3d accel helps.
1. The fork button is a lot smaller than the git clone url staring right up at me in the middle of the page.
6. Which pull request button on which page? There are several.

Yes, I've done this a few times. But the procedure is not internalizable in the same way that "mail patch" is. In particular, the pull requests tab always looks really appealing to me whenever I want to clone a new repo (I'd like to make a request to pull your source, after all). The problem is unrelated to git, I could happily use git with email.
If you have cash sitting around, you'd want to spend it to accelerate your business. Buying a company with a successful product, great team, large user base and actual revenues can be seen as a much safer investment (assuming the price isn't inflated) than spending 1 or 2 years trying to catch up with the competition, with no guarantee of success.

It doesn't mean of course that buying a company is always the best decision.. it boils down to whether the acquired product and team ends up being a good fit.
Very cool. As the owner of several hundred CDs, I've occasionally thought about ripping all of them at some point. This setup would make things much more streamlined.
This is basically what you get from pygrid (or Spectacle / Rectangle on a mac). I use a slightly modified pygrid to do all my window sizing and placement.
Everything you've suggested requires all networks to cooperate/spend extra time and money, or that no one makes an exploitable protocol in the future (as likely as humans never making mistakes). If you can already get all networks to cooperate/spend extra time and money, then you can make them do BCP38 which would be a more complete solution.

> In addition to your mistaken impression of my inexperience in the filed you are also mistaken that the information I posted is "off a random website". The information is from Akamai's State of the Internet site and represents Akamai's "real-time 24-hour global attack data: sources, targets, and types of attacks". It is linked to directly from Prolexic's home page. Though, I'm sure as an expert you knew that.

And all of this doesn't disprove anything I said.

That website is a marketing piece made for laymen such as yourself.

The fact that you are categorizing those attack vectors as seperate problems instead of being in the same class proves what I claim.
I recently thaught about the same thing... I'd integrate a lot of jekyll's architecture (or if you're .Net based Pretzel or Sandra.Snow), use Design blocks ( eg. Startup Framework which includes the online generator in the HTML purchase) and then a hosting which can dynamicly create the static sites.

I think you're done then :)
Very nice post by Fred once again. I knew all too many people who grew up with their fathers being away on some job in the name of "providing for the family". It's heartening to see that the internet has enabled far more people to both work and yet be present with family.
Your accounting of the Byron plant story drastically oversimplifies the actual events. It casts Obama as somehow central to the story when, again, he had virtually no formal oversight over nuclear regulation. It attempts to read tea leaves about Obama's mentality out of the progress of pushing a bill --- itself a meaningless political reaction to an event in his backyard, a sop to his constituents --- past stiff opposition, as if the alternative to "watering down" this bill was strong new legislation on nuclear regs, which of course it wasn't.

In short, it attempts to make Obama the go-along get-along energy-insider-pol "bad guy" in a story that not only has no good guys or bad guys, but also almost nothing at all to do with Obama.
Migrating an application from Oracle to another DBMS is not adding a feature. I would think you could have also sold the app to other companies running on Oracle. It then just becomes a cost/benefit analysis. Is it worth 100hrs?

How many times has the opposite happened? Someone builds an app to be database agnostic using abstracted database layers, only to never have the system need to run on a different DBMS. I have seen this one 15 times easy as well. The abstraction for the sake of portability also has a performance hit that continues to cost.

I am not trying to argue the specifics as much as to say that when you try to code for future features, there is a pretty high error rate in knowing what those features will be and what they will need. This is especially true for startups that are likely to iterate their business model several times after 1.0.

Using the hotel example as a model, let's say that after launch the company decided that combining discounts wasn't nearly as effective as negotiating special rates with the hotels. They couldn't figure this out until after they launched, but it took them longer to figure it out because they were busy creating a dynamic rules engine instead of selling hotel reservations.

Well, they've also got horrible growth and debt problems, but I was trying to point to probability of the scenario -- Japan is indeed one of the two cases I was thinking of but thanks for correcting me from a decade to ~~20 years (1995 will always be 10 years ago).

So out of 700 country-years across the G7, we've got Japan deflationary for 20 with a mediocre-to-lousy economy, and the US deflationary for maybe 5 if we round up, during the great depression.

From those datapoints, I'm supposed to conclude that deflationary at 25/700 is the 'natural' state of things, rather than exceptional, and additionally that it's a good place to be?
I remember an old post on /r/askhistorians about medieval fighting, and this article was referenced. There was even a video of two re-enactors emulating the style. It was vastly different than everything I'd come to expect from films, but it makes more sense when you think about it. Armor could be extremely effective for taking a direct sword hit, so the strategy was to almost wrestle your opponent up close and wedge the blade in between the plates, using both hands as leverage to slice.
I prefer Insteon, which is wireless like Zigbee, but more jam resistant as it also operates over the power lines in your home to form a mesh. Even if the wireless access is blocked, much of the devices can be directly plugged in, and as a result, would still send critical security events to the controller.
While this may not be the case in this situation, recently I've noticed that people are becoming extreme wimps..

People, especially younger generation can't stand being treated harshly. You can't criticize them, and every response must be nice, politically correct and helpful.

Sometimes you just have to let it go, or simply fight back. And when you do fight back, be prepared because it's unlikely that you will win every time.. Such is life. Grow a pair.

When I was younger it was normal for kids to fight in school. Nobody really cared if you got your ass kicked once in a while. And often times you kicked some ass. This helped people realize that not everyone in their life will be nice and helpful, and that sometimes you need to have a thick skin and ignore what people are saying. Now it seems kids, when they get laugh at or in some one offended, if they can't get help from the adult they just grab a gun or a knife and start killing people because they simply never had a chance to learn how to deal with competition.
I agree. Optimize for what's important to you, nothing more. Eventually you'll find someone that's got everything that's important to you, where you have everything that's important to them...

The real trick is to optimize what's important to you and realize that most of the stuff that society/the media would have you think is important is really just meaningless shit. What matters is your connection with each other, do you have complementary perspectives, goals, motivations, desires and dreams? Do you make each other laugh? Do you enjoy each others company? The rest is just superficial nonsense.
A light beam has an extension in space, and does so even if we're talking about the probability amplitude of a single photon. Therefore there are several ways to define the notion of velocity. One of them is the group velocity, which intuitively is the speed of propagation for the "shape" of the wave, as opposed to the phase velocity, which is the speed propagation of its "zeros". There is a quite extensive Wikipedia article on the subject, check it out:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_velocity

Basically this ArXiv article shows that when a light beam has an unusual spatial shape, its group velocity can become measurably slower than light. The group velocity is usually equal to the actual speed of photons, so if it's still the case here, the authors have shown that in certain conditions light can propagate in vacuum slightly slower than it usually does.
> To leave such a toy in the hands of a child is like leaving a big bag of chocolates in their room and telling them to eat responsibly when they are alone.

This is painful to read. There's very little chance of having a respectful conversation about this topic, so I should just move on silently. Shortly, I will. But not before suggesting that, respectfully, perhaps there's another way to approach the problem?

You currently have one downvote, and it isn't from me, but I feel so strongly repelled by your comment that I can understand the impulse to click the arrow and try to forget what you've written.

> Apple wants parents to police their iPads by hand instead.

I don't think Apple takes a strong position on parenting at all -- but if they did, and it was the position you describe, I would be emphatically in agreement with them. I wouldn't use the word "police" though.
Well, there's always the Tesla P85D, which they briefly mention in the article. That's the real performance version. It's quite a bit faster at 0-60 mph than the M3, roughly 3.2 seconds vs 3.9 seconds.

And the Tesla is quiet. Here's a great video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QERGldfZA5A

I don't know how well a Tesla corners compared to German or Italian competition.
Isn't it kind of ironic that AGILE is created to help fix issues along the road, but then AGILE itself is treated like it's written in stone.

I like the idea of rewriting or improving the rule-book as well, something that should be applied more often to other things, for example religion.
Let's talk about the sad state of clocks today. There exists a few ways to query NTP time on Linux. (1) Directly through NTP (2) the adjtimex syscall, (3) the ntp_gettime call. I found it hard to find many codebases using the proper NTP. In fact codebases that need reliable time, like Cassandra and OpenLDAP. don't use NTP time APIs to check whether the system clock is in sync, or to get accurate time. Even if we were to make PTP accessible to the world, it would be some time before its usage actually became ubiquitous. The understandability of time keeping, and clock yielding in our community is a sore point.
I'm pretty proficient in both, and I think that's a mischaracterization of the two tools. wget is more suited to pulling down large files, groups of files, etc. curl is more suited to API calls where you might need to do something complicated at the protocol level. Each has their use.
Anyone else notice this:

"We realized there was another actor [South Korea] that was also going against them [North Korea] and having great success because of a 0 day they wrote. We got the 0 day out of passive and were able to re-purpose it. Big win."

NSA learned of a 0-day exploit being used by South Korea (not five eyes) and re-purposed it. They had knowledge of an exploit in the wild. Did they share this with anyone in order to close this security flaw? They exploited it. This is not a case of the NSA developing an exploit in house. They took this from the wild. This would seem to confirm suspicions that NSA is/was willing to allow active 0-days to fester, leaving the general public exposed.
Would you rather have us use the bad system that uses more energy or the better system that uses less energy?
In many unbalanced situations you simply can't have an unbiased decision that's fair across all measures, no matter if the decision is done by a model, a human or a deity; you have to trade off between different types of unfairness. Equality of opportunity for individuals will result in unequal results for groups; equality of outcomes requires unequal opportunities if the historical circumstances have resulted in socioeconomic unequalities.

In your financial evaluations example, many biases and disadvantages would remain even if you solely reduce the decision to relevant financial facts for a specific individual, because a poorer individual with lower socioeconomic status and less opportunities actually has a higher risk of non-payment, and a disadvantaged group will have disproportionally more such individuals. Should we accept that? Should we require the other groups to subsidize their non-payment? Both options are unfair in some aspect and fair in another, you can't have your cake and eat it too, and it's not the fault of the model you use - the only difference with a human is that they can better hide the factors they use, lie about the influences (perhaps also lie to themselves) and rationalize/invent factors to justify their decision.

For this topic, perhaps this talk "AI Ethics, Impossibility Theorems and Tradeoffs" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn7oWIhFffs or its slides https://www.chrisstucchio.com/pubs/slides/crunchconf_2018/sl... might be interesting for you, it has some flaws but is a decent exploration of the problem space.

Where does Detroit rank on this? Since there is not a text list to go with the images and I'm totally blind I can not tell.
As the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) article kindly submitted here points out, there is just about surely no copyright protection under United States law for the Ford FFData file, so this effort on Ford's part should fail if litigated. But pulling in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act as an additional layer of protection for Ford's data file complicates the legal analysis, and I'm glad that the EFF is on this case to urge a clarification of how that act applies to cases like this, so that buyers of cars can have choices in seeking service for their cars.

Of course, on my part I am appalled that Ford is even trying this, and so as a consumer I am now less likely to suggest to any of my friends that they should consider buying Ford cars. (Disclosure: we own two Toyota vehicles, both bought new from the local Toyota dealer in the last few years. Before we bought the first one, we shopped at a Ford dealership but didn't like the cars we tried as well as the Toyota cars we tried.)
The issue isn't the amount of time a post is on the new page for, it's how many people get to see it before it falls off the page.

So long as the number of people viewing the new page at any one time increases proportionally to the number of new submissions, a reduced time on the page won't be a problem.

It's exposure to potential upvotes that's important, not total exposure time.

That said, increased competition for the limited range of spots on the front page may eventually be a 'problem', but only if you think having too much excellent material as a problem and not an opportunity ;)
a little corporate history should be okay if the rest of the article is actually answering the question.
Interesting, but this policy already exists. Nairo a top 10 Smash Bros competitor was banned after false accusations of pedophilia months ago. He remains banned to this day.
In Norway it was 3 deaths in 130000 vaccinated if I recall correctly. But yeah, Norway definitely seems like an outlier.

1) Pornography is often accompanied by attack sites with viruses etc. Your machines should be kept up to date and secure, it's true, but why invite attacks?

2) Child pornography. Sure, there may be laws that protect you if it's discovered on a hard drive of a machine you manage, but I'd much rather avoid that mess all together.
I may have missed something. What, exactly, is the ethical violation alleged against the teacher here?

I saw the video made by the students that attempts to "prove" that the teacher said he wrote the test questions himself, but it makes an extremely flimsy case:

1) It's a statement made on Day 1 of class, long before the midterm test

2) He only said that he creates the test, but does not state that he authors the questions. One algorithm for creating a test is to select questions from a question bank, so this statement has no evidential value.

3) The only remaining "evidence" in the video is a statement where he said that "he may write" a question that even he may not be able to answer. It's entirely possible that he intended on Day 1 to author the questions for the midterm, but ended up using the above method for creating the test by the time midterms rolled around.

The students are very eager here to turn the tables here and display some righteous indignation to deflect attention back to the instructor, but they haven't yet managed to make a compelling case.

Hmmm. I agree with your conclusion, but I wouldn't say that Firesheep is a "one word conceptual model." Rather, it's a concrete instance, not a model.

That was the problem with before: in order to understand the threat, you needed to have a sophisticated mental model to be able to convince yourself "Yes, while I am unaware of any actual threats that use this, but I can see the potential for abuse." You needed to be able to deduce a threat from first principles. But once an actual threat exists, you get a shortcut; you can work backwards from the known threat rather than forwards from the system itself.
I'm not saying that I agree with the OP, but aren't "rules" like this really heuristics? Psychological tricks like this, if they're effective (and joking aside, I really have no opinion on their efficacy), would be useful in situations where you wonder if the other person is lying. That is, they're clues when you're already on the alert.

If you're talking collaboratively to someone about the cause of a server crash, or engaged in a friendly conversation about a movie, you're not on guard. If you were a manager talking to two employees about a sexual harassment allegation, though, you might want all the tools you could muster.
Ignite is my hobby. My business stuff is all in a VCS which is in turn backed up in duplicate.

And again, in theory Mesh is a backup because it is supposed to duplicate things across multiple machines. The heartbreak wasn't at it not working (in the past), it was at the total lack of apparent support by the powers that be at MS and understanding of what they had on their hands and its strategic importance in keeping the desktop relevant against the tide of 'in the cloud'.
The threat of having the police called and getting added to sex offender lists is more than enough to prevent all but the mentally ill from masturbating in public. People can already access pornography at just about any coffee shop (or for that matter, wherever there is cellular phone access...), but somehow we don't see outbreaks of uncontrolled public wanking. You seem to be operating under the assumption that systems like this are already widely deployed. They are not.

And as for the mentally ill? Well if walking down the street of your average sized city is anything to go by, lack of pornographic material isn't much of an inhibitor.
Although, as I wrote about the OP's tells not being applicable to friendly conversation I realized that the most egregious liar I've ever known was my best drinking buddy in college. The more beer he drank, the more outrageous (and hilarious) his tales would get.

But he always telegraphed when he had stepped firmly onto terra fantasia with the phrase "Guys... without a WORD of a LIE I was on the bus last week when this doberman pincer came on..." etc.

We never called him on it though, because we were afraid he would stop.

Seniority and titles are also majorly influenced by company size. Years ago I worked as systems administrator at a larger company. I had a friend of mine who did very similar work at a very small company. We earned basically the same, were in basically the same industry, did basically the same work and for all intents and purposes had the same responsibility. My title was Systems Administrator and his was Chief Technical Officer.
