Calling Peter Thiel, if there's about to be a glut of unwanted "old Panamax" container ships on the market for charter, maybe some will be for sale? Buy a few, strap them together and put them 13 miles off the coast of SF. What can possibly go wrong?
The only thing JS has going for it is it's wide adoption. Basing a new language on it to run on low end devices just seems like a dead-end for me. At least the first link is to a typed subset of JS.
Distributed filesystems are backed by local filesystems. The local filesystem can be ZFS with all of its benefits even if you also have a fancy facility-wide filesystem running on top of it.

Don't they still have the "multi reddits"? Just make a group for the smaller ones. Or a simple bookmark like reddit.com/r/smallsub1+smallsub2+smallsub3 etc. A bit work upfront but if you are annoyed it may very well be worth the time.
Samsung is in a good position to utilize Joyent in Asian markets, better than most cloud providers, and given the "smart" features of most of their devices, and how much they probably feel they're leaving money on the table compared to even Android's Play Store, it makes sense... doesn't mean it'll work... but even if it only applies to Asia and Africa, where they leave the more firm Android in place elsewhere, it could be a significant boost.

I don't expect to see Samsung take on GCE, Azure or AWS directly though... and would be really unsure if I were a Joyent customer right now.
I think the first one, corporate development culture, is pretty much the correct one. The difference between .Net and other environments is the ratio of corporate to everything else is so skewed that you have to either "think enterprise" or jump ship for something else.

All that being said, I'm sure if you have a well run IT department, you can get along just great with .Net even at smaller companies.
The authors are "outraged, and have taken to Kickstarter" to pay the fee.

The New York Times will likely continue to charge money for the right to quote when authors continue to pay them.
The amount the employee gets may be generous but seems to be arbitrary while the CEO's contract specifies clearly how much he or she will be owed. It certainly beats just getting the boot with no money.
This reminds me of the anti-theft features. The laptop anti-theft arms race is ridiculous.

I'm curious who (if anyone) in Austin, TX has a tech stack where the backend is primarily Go? Does anyone here know of any companies?
It is in the chipset not in the CPU.

Taking another angle: What if the computer's owner wants to use it to access her computer remotely? Are there some instructions how to do this? Is it feasible?

If not, then there seems little justification to have a relatively new feature like this turned on by default. Who is this feature really for? If it's not for all users then why is activation mandatory in CPUs after Core2?

I mean, if ME has to be active, then the computer's owner should be able to use it, right?
Not sure. ME requires coordination/support from other electronic components to do its job. It only applies to Macs if Apple's motherboards have the necessary circuitry (I couldn't find this info so far).
This is great news! Would love to see your tech in a datacenter in US central, would use it in a sec. :)

While I'm more on jwz's side in the xscreensaver issue, it's a fair bit more complex that the way you're presenting it.

You're also missing the forest for the trees - if no-one maintained xscreensaver packages for distros, then there would be considerably fewer installs of it. Centralised package management is a very powerful feature, and without it, you're reduced to the Windows style of installing software: hunt around on the web for it, try and figure out if you're getting it from the official repo, try and figure out if the download is trustworthly, install it separately, hope it doesn't sideload malware, then maintain it personally as time goes on, and maybe even suffer every second tool having it's own self-updating service phoning home and nagging you (plus you may not even be able to easily uninstall the software if the author didn't offer that option). It's easy to do that for just one bit of software, but it's a real chore to do it for all your software.
> The amount of airplane hijackings has reduced to zero in the United States since the creation of the TSA

I would disagree. The TSA has actually let two terrorists on planes, namely, the 'shoe bomber' [1] and the 'underwear bomber' [2]. Both got on the plane and actually triggered their respective devices, so aside from their actual security purpose failing their deterrent effect did not work either.

Hopefully a robin-hood type will reverse-engineer the blob and post a permanent fix to disable this thing before a more nefarious person/group uses it to devastate the PC landscape with something even worse than bitlocker.
I agree on C# being easier overall, but I find less disconnect with node.js on the server when JS is the client. It's usually the structure of Java/C# type projects that tends to get to me more than anything... just more complicated than it should be.
You're making huge assumptions about me and my political beliefs. Incorrect assumptions.

The US federal government is bad about this, but they're not the only ones that do it: effective tax rates here are just as high as in many European countries, but most of the taxes aren't called 'tax'. There are fees and tolls and surcharges on many living expenses, and more that get hidden in higher prices for many products. That's why I said that adding a TSA fee to airline tickets, but not using the money for the TSA, is typical behavior.

I wish the taxation system was honest and transparent. I wish the money was used competently and efficiently. But the political system here is screwed up I don't think those are achievable goals. And unfortunatly it's led to having an incompent fascist as a leading presidential candidate.
Same here, which is why I say this, for bootcamp grads to enter profession, they really need to work side by side with other devs.
In that breach, the DNC wasn't the custodian of the data. A shared private vendor used by democratic candidates was.

The causes of the two issues are quite different - in one, an application doesn't have sufficient internal controls to ensure isolated multi-tenancy. The other is a breech by a malicious outsider.
The actual ME is in the chipset itself, though it is true that full AMT functionality may require additional hardware.
An engine doesn't get 100 mpg, a vehicle does.

Did you even read what the OP asked?

As he said, those counts are obviously affected, but the article (and your quote) give no indication of if accounts in the other categories (attempted but failed, attempted but stopped by TFA) are also notified that attempts were made.
Note to others- he wrote that because the original link on this post was foxnews, but the new link is more well-written and from KHOU, a CBS affiliate.

Does your GPU fit that chassis? That is my major concern with that. Beyond that, the major weakness of those chassis is that they eat a bunch of power compared to modern processors. That's why they're being sold off.

Other than that, the default GPGPU picks are either the OG GTX Titan or the 780 Ti since either has the same processor as the Tesla compute cards.
So then you'd agree that Google, who claims that their search algorithm is not politically biased, should have its claims examined via peer review?

AMP is no different than Facebook IA. Both are designed to make pages load faster in so much it really benefits the platform it's on. You can load AMP pages directly and the framework itself relies on only rendering elements when needed. While the number of 3rd party embeds (for example) is limited, it is growing. Outside of keeping the wall garden up, there are obvious user benefits though it's too early.
Yeah, it is... that said, I do wish MS (NTFS) and Oracle (ZFS) were more permissive wrt patents and would do patent releases. Beyond that, it would be great if MS would even release open documentation on NTFS. I still think it's a pretty great option for portable storage.
What a ridiculous single data point to cherry-pick.

It's true, when terrorists attack Israel (as they so regularly do) they don't usually use guns. But nor do they use knives. They use explosives.

Really appreciate telling me this cool project, will take a look. But I will doubt it's production maturity。
It's impossible to "reverse-engineer" a cryptographic signature. Properly implemented (and you can bet that Intel has had time to finalize this) it's computationally insurmountable.
I used to work at a major container carrier and they actually had a pretty good handle on their operating costs (it's not hard when you only sell one thing), their problem was insane capital expenditures. When China joined the WTO in 2002 they bet big on the upward trend in demand continuing indefinitely, and when the economy crashed in 2008 they were left with a huge order book of new vessels they no longer needed. They still haven't recovered from that.
Google has publicly stated that AMP versions of content will appear higher than non AMP pages in search results. This is not a secret. Ad support has already been a feature as of the last few months.
When people realize that it has been "truly compromised" it will be too late. The whole thing is a huge mess from a security stand-point.
I didn't imply that men can't control themselves. I am saying that sexual arousal in both parties is more likely to occur when they sleep together and misunderstandings may result. It's not binary Platonic/Sexual Assault. There's gray area in between. Why risk it? us oldies might say.
Experiments in Biomimetic Cognition and General AI Subsets
Why on earth would I pay before even given a slight hint of what it looks like or how it works? A mobile app seems critical as well, but that's highly subjective I guess (since people use CLI trackers..).

It seems somehow like you are riding on the trust that that pinboard guy have gained, and it feels a bit off in my opinion.

Anyway, screenshots or examples please.
Do we know if Apple uses the whole, standard Intel chipset or just the cpu + custom, Intel supplied chipset?
Yeah, I made the same mistake wrt non-ecc... If I'd known, I'd have gotten an Asus board (was an amd processor), and used ECC... I lost a lot of DVD/BD rips, and a lot of time ripping them.
Has anyone tweeted this to Matt Cutts (Head of Web Spam at Google) ?

Yeah, because all that needs to happen to solve this entire mess is for someone, anyone at all to bring it to the attention of the right person at Google.

They'll be just as shocked to hear it as Claude Rains was in Casablanca. And, rest assured, they'll take care of it.

For me it should be seamless to send and recieve large files on your iPhone. You can do this in Dropbox but it isn't as simple as send to X via Dropbox.
It's a way to control the experience.
I think most of the time they use standard Intel chipsets, though there are exceptions.
It also reminds me of this: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/18/business/dealbook/china-fa...
Probably the (non-CO2) emissions. Most engines on the market have to optimize both for fuel efficiency and minimization of pollutants. As you might remember from the VW scandal, you can improve fuel efficiency at the cost of greater NOx emissions.

Also, they need to be big and strong enough to pass crash tests, which further reduces fuel efficiency. I don't think this car would pass those either.
Maybe I'm missing something, is this chipset on the motherboard? The article makes it seem like its coupled with the cpu.
It might fall under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act? The DMCA criminalises the act of circumventing an access control mechanism.
"This is why Linux doesn't have spyware, doesn't come with browser toolbars, doesn't bundle limited trials, doesn't nag you to purchase and doesn't pummel you with advertising."

The shopping lens was openly added as a marketed feature, and could be turned off with one action. You could, I suppose, class it as spyware, but it wasn't surreptitiously sideloaded - it was touted as a default feature. It didn't alter the browser, wasn't limited run, didn't nag you, and while I didn't use it much, it could hardly be called 'pummelling with advertising'.

It was an openly-acknowledged experiment that failed, and was removed.
How many watts can you reasonably generate with 3 hp?
You are blaming the victim. Yes, they could have taken more steps to protect themselves, but those steps are inconvenient and cost everybody headspace and headaches. And if we're all being honest we don't use best practice every time we log into a website.

The real problem is the way that we do passwords. Passwords should either be managed by your browser or your operating system. When you log in to your computer, you log in one time with a public key. And then your OS/Browser automatically logs you into every website you visit by signing challenges instead of by giving your private key (that's essentially what a password boils down to) to everyone who wants to verify your identity.

The same is true for credit cards.

If we want a more secure web, we will replace the password system. It's difficult to use passwords correctly, even if you have the common sense (which a lot of people don't, because they just don't realize it's a bad idea).

It should be a higher priority. People are clearly losing money and losing quality of life over today's insecure password infrastructure.
just a random tidbit.. but the system currently allows you to set your password to what you previously had

The CDDL license explicitly provides a patent grant and since the ZFS code was released under the CDDL, I'm not sure what you're asking for.

I am annoyed by that term too, but "serverless" is what everyone is calling it right now so to get the right readers he had to call it that. He immediately follows a popular recommendation to switch to FaaS (Functions as a Service) and does so for the rest of the article.

Not true - they're also funded with royalties from previous patents. If UC wins this case (for example), then 35% of royalties will go to the inventors and the rest towards further research/university budgets.
I doubt that the FBI is that stupid.

But seriously, it'd be cool if someone could share a photo of one.
Is this a single-player game, or multiplayer?

(Also, I was sure I remembered a game by the same name from the '90s, which I thought was a trivia quiz game with a D&D-ish theme. A brief search hasn't turned up any evidence, though. Anyone else remember that?)
You must see umbrellas and parasols as elegant as well.

A precursor concept of a zero-drag satellite can be seen in Stargate SG1: "The Serpent's Venom", where an armed mine from an orbital minefield is brought aboard a shuttle, and the pilot must match the mine's trajectory changes.
Jacob Applebaum accused of sexual assault
I thought this was a pretty reasonable piece, and it should shed some light to how difficult it is to juggle support for the Second Amendment (in terms of interpreting it as an individual right) and coming up with limitations that don't lead down a slippery slope of neutering that ostensible right.

Even the idea of barring those under FBI investigation of getting a gun is troublesome. There is no due process when it comes to being put on the no-fly or terrorist-watch list. If the individual right to bear arms is on the same level as the rights to free speech, religion, and petition...barring someone from such a right without due process should be seen as an extreme situation, similar to how getting a National Security Letter restricts one's right to speak freely about it...but even that restriction is very narrow with respect to the 1st Amendment.

Note: I'm not saying I agree with the above perspective, just that it's understandable why the NRA et al. don't see a gun ban for a terrorist-watch-list as being so cut and dry.

The saddest thing about the gun debate to me is how it sparks up most after huge massacres...and yet, as the OP's inclusion of a Pew survey shows, sentiment toward gun rights increased after Newtown [1]...and this makes sense to me. I'm pretty neutral about gun ownership (I don't own a gun currently, and was happy to have the right restricted living in NYC, but would not be opposed to owning a gun if I were to move to a more rural area)...but the desire to own a gun can sharply correlate with the magnitude of a massacre...after all, the natural tendency is to think: if only someone had a gun to stop that maniac..., as opposed to thinking of the bigger picture of societal impact. Mass shootings are just a very small percentage of gun-related homicides...and owning a gun may not be helpful for the 99.999% of life in which you don't find yourself in desperate need of a gun.

In other words, making gun policy after a huge mass shooting is almost counter-productive for anti-gun-rights advocates, as that is when the fantasy of stopping evil with a gun is strongest. Or, to put it another way, it's the gun-rights version of the saying, "Hard cases make bad law"

There are multiple cases in the United States regarding game hacks.

Some of the more famous involve Blizzard, with the biggest example being a suit against the creators of WowGlider, a bot for World of Warcraft (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MDY_Industries,_LLC_v._Blizzar...)
The FreeNAS version I was using had the bug wrt hot spares... and I didn't use ECC... The errors also weren't clear which drive was failing... was 0 in some places 1 in others, and it turns out it was both. The LSI board I was using apparently had some buggy issues as well.

That combined with using Seagate 7200 rpm drives in a year that was particularly bad (an offline storage company mentioned them in a blog article iirc). just a bad chain of events. The drives when I pulled out and tested them individually after the entire array crashed, about 7 out of 12 had significant issues, and of the other 5, 2 more developed errors shortly after (I only used them as scratch/project drives).

Honestly, today, I'd probably get another Synology box, a bit more expensive, but been so much less hassle. I had upgraded my 4-drive (2010 plus model iirc) synology box to 4TB wd red drives, and been running that ever since. I don't think I'd ever do a homebrew NAS on a single machine ever again. If I had to do something in a company, would probably lean towards distributed file systems for that level of redundancy.
Samsung generates a lot of sensor/IoT type of data (e.g. smart phones, smart TVs, medical, industrial). They'll need the infrastructure to process and store all these data.
Your casual and flippant disregard for the need to arms oneself with more than a single shot pea shooter is in direct contradiction with the second amendment. Do you disagree? (and keep it on point) Also, my verbiage left room for you to correct, eg. " don't seem to", so it's not an accusation... yet. Also, the real discussion is in my other comment in this suspiciously flagged thread.
xDedic – the shady world of hacked servers for sale
most people assume you have to pay for shipping, at least with most online retailers. yes, it may cost $15.22 but it is still a $9 computer, the same way that an iPhone might be $599 with $5 shipping they don't call it a $604 iPhone.

this most likely also includes handling costs which in this business is most likely going to be one of the biggest expenses once you've conquered production.
I still don't understand why this ME feature has been created to begin with. Assuming that breaking it is a matter of time (someone clever enough thinking about it for long enough), it seems like a serious security vulnerability, worse still because an attack is undetectable.

Why create it in the first place? Are the enterprise uses the article mentions worth the risk?
