I can give two cents as an ex undergrad interested in remote work: I worked onsite after graduation before transitioning to remote for the same company after 6 months.

I found that I was learning a lot less, as you might expect. I missed out on "casual" learning opportunities, like overhearing a new git command or having a quick chat about what a p-value means. And I no longer interacted with the salespeople, scientists, and people in other areas of the business that help broaden my knowledge. Admittedly, this might be different in a remote-first culture, we were quite an open/chatty/collaborative office.

I also made a lot of mistakes as I learnt how to be a good remote worker. It's definitely a skill that needs to be developed, and remote companies would be sensible to prefer candidates with that experience already.

So I'd recommend the pathway of working onsite for a remote-friendly company for a while, transitioning to remote, then using the experience to apply for a remote-first job. It also means you're less committed if you discover you don't enjoy remote work. I discovered I didn't enjoy remote work.

Why would anyone in their right mind attack IoT products directly (ie. disabling/destroying them), when using them as a large botnet is far, far more lucrative?

Well... Perhaps once IoT webcams are used for blackmail - but even that is a much more difficult task than "really big botnet attack really big sites" so the incentive isn't there
Cursive is pitifully slow compared to modern writing systems. The basic Teeline shorthand alphabet can be learned very quickly; with practice, speeds of over 100wpm are easily achievable.

Cursive is, quite simply, obsolete. It's slower than shorthand or typing and less legible than print. It is enormously time-consuming to learn and can cause a great deal of confusion for children who are already struggling with print letterforms.

Teach typing, teach shorthand, teach stenography, but stop wasting classroom time with an archaic writing system.

Known falsehoods are facts that should be reported.
It's complicated a one-fits-all solution. We ended using the S3 as storage back-end to provision, also to get a single cert for all frontend instances.
I don't see it, since people could list themselves on competing listing sites just as the same drivers list themselves on both Uber and Lyft.

Then again you could say the same for eBay, yet Amazon couldn't get a competitor off the ground. One small moat (eBay has vs Airbnb model) is that you can automate the sale on eBay (so you'd have a hard time listing the same item on two sites -- you might sell it twice) while Airbnb still has manual intervention.
Time to through down on the IOTs.
Most blogs consist of trivially addressable content (that is, everything has it's own URI, and the page is essentially "functional" -- the same URI will return the same content each time) and is thus trivially cacheable. Cloudflare or its many competitors will handle this extremely well.

It's trickier when there is content on a page that has to be dynamically generated fresh (or nearly fresh) per page load. Most blogs never get into this territory (or have no reason to, at least) and most of us have experience with WordPress at the "look y'all, ima start a blog" level of sophistication, so there's this kneejerk toward feeling like this is total overkill.

But it's not if you have the problems that owners of complex, interactive, heavily-trafficked WordPress sites have.
I like automating via docker there are various docker images with haproxy or nginx in it that automatically refresh certificates. Just install them as reverse proxy for your frontend and here we are. Very useful and almost no configuration needed.

Hi marcc, thanks for your feedback! Is there any documentation on what are the building blocks to be able to run Replicated on platforms like DC/OS and Kubernetes?

I'm especially interested in DC/OS, because my company is building a SaaS in it, and ideally we'd want a general solution on how to ship and maintain an on-premise deployment.
No? I am having a hard time seeing any intersection between either of the major two branches of the security industry (PC security and network security) and IoT botnets.

There's a major failure happening, but it's not attributable to the security industry. It's a failure of the computing industry as a whole.

Its an old scam going back to the earliest typewriter days.

Avg Chicago gas price in the past few years has been $3.50. That's $60 to fill that tank, not $37 for Chicagoans and others in urban areas with high gas prices.

Avg 3-5 cents kwh for overnight charging here via ComEd's hourly pricing system. Assuming a decent level of inefficiency here via the charging process and ComEd's variable rates after 8pm I'm closer to $3 to charge than $10.

So the Camry gets 3x the range, but at 20x the cost. The Bolt is 6-7x more economical per mile for me in Chicago, which is fairly impressive.

Not sure how that plays out from a real dollar perspective, but I imagine after incentives the Bolt might be the cheaper option. I also imagine an EV car is a simpler machine than a ICE car, so you may have maintenance and reliability benefits. Personally, the complexity of a hybrid is a pretty big turn off. I'd rather just get a lower HP ICE car that naturally gets good milaeage and deal with worse performance than go the hybrid route.

The nice thing with electric is you get all these cost savings and you get some decent performance as well. The Bolt does 0-60 under 7 seconds. The Camry Hybrid is almost 10 seconds.
hyperkube is just a repackaging of all the different packages of k8s as a single binary.

so rather than 'kubectl -v', you will run 'hyperkube kubectl -v'
Several Doom games, and also Half-Life. Ripping a hole into Hell for travel purposes has been done in Doom, the movie Event Horizon, and the tabletop gaming franchise Warhammer 40K.

I don't have any particular station recommendations, unfortunately. It usually takes a bit of hunting around for a station that's playing music (though sometimes the talk radio stuff is fun as well, at least for the tiny parts of it I can understand based on my rudimentary Japanese knowledge). I usually just go here[0] and start trying out different stuff.

For example, a new review on the stealth variant[0].

You can add more RAM, you can get a choice of screens ( 1080p or UHD ) you get a proper GPU ( if you want ) and you pay less.
And you can use Windows or Linux. Or both.

Decreasing entropy locally is usually called a fridge, and I am currently betting my dinner that it is not bullshit. (I don't have the slightest idea what the article is actually talking about.)
That might be the case! That's why my statement was "don't come across as hyping" rather than "don't disclose a solution."

Elsewhere, I also stated a preference for conveying multiple solutions, "even if they're [only] user actions such as browsing only trusted sites until a patch is released." This would've been great to disclose for the many corporate users on Windows 7 since the specific mitigating feature implemented by Chrome (and Edge, if Microsoft's implication is to be trusted) in Windows 10 isn't available to these users.
Whoops didn't add enough, should have been A-B-C-D-E.
Two possible reasons:

(1) Speed: FreeDOS installs faster than any Linux distro.

(2) Drivers: Not all manufacturers provides drivers for Linux.
Ok. Vote for Trump. Maybe he'll be better.
Wal-Mart is a very odd to work with from the vendor side. They have a purchase order tracking system named PULSE that is completely independent from their EDI system and their supplier Retail Link program (which is the slowest, most horribly designed website you could imagine).

You're required to SFTP up a CSV file of what you've shipped to them that day, along with information about. They also have a creaky acknowledgement/acceptance procedure and the technical folks (seems outsourced) aren't very impressive. You have to pass a 'visual inspection' with your test files and it's the most ridiculous process you can imagine with box-checkers flagging you for the dumbest reasons.

So from this side of the transaction it always makes me wonder about articles like this, all their good tech must be internal only. To be fair to Wal-Mart the situation with other big store chains usually isn't any better.
I'm not sure, but like I said, separate first by address and function. This could work a hundred different ways. I could give examples but they'd be off the top of my head and not properly designed.
I appreciate it, but without captions or legends, I don't know which is which.
The main source of your confusion stems from misinterpretation of the phrase "Tesla's solar roof" which is solar roofing material produced by Tesla for buildings rather than a solar roof for a Tesla automobile.
