Aha! It was the amazing days, you just dial a bunch of numbers in your area, and you get all sorts of exposed mainframes and servers from various organizations on the phone line. It was the origin of the common hacker trope.

Today, computers are ubiquitous, but most of them are embedded devices, IoT, smartphones or PCs, you can never find a mainframe in the wild again, the green-blinking CRT terminals from the 80s and the impression of "hack everything" is long gone,

Regulation doesn't matter directly. What matters is organisational culture. Regulation is one tool to change the culture of organisations in an industry, but it only works if it is

* Communicated clearly so that there is a path to compliance[1].

* Enforced with penalties so that people within non-infinite-budget organisations can sell[2] the change as a means to cut costs[3].

>Equifax also failed to encrypt sensitive data in its custody. According to the Amended Complaint, Equifax admitted that sensitive personal information relating to hundreds of millions of Americans was not encrypted, but instead was stored in plaintext, making it easy for unauthorized users to read and misuse. Not only was this information unencrypted, but it also was accessible through a public-facing, widely used website.
I was really shocked when I tried to upgrade from High Sierra to Mojave about a month ago and found that my work directory was completely gone. It turned out that I rigged the work directory to Dropbox via a hard link, which is emulated in HFS+ as a shadow directory plus a placeholder, and the conversion to APFS broke this emulation. Fortunately for me I had a shortcut to that shadow directory in the Finder and was able to recover it, this time using a plain symlink (less than ideal, sigh), but I now have a big question about Apple concerning about existing users. At least I trust Dropbox more than Apple though...
At least in my experience with Canadian institutions, an adjunct professorship is largely an honorary title. It is typically unpaid. You can supervise graduate students and apply for some grants, but that is about it. Also it is not meant to be permanent... You receive it for a fixed duration (say 3 years) and have to renew it. Renewal may be based on several factors but certainly may include how well you work with people from the school in question.

I don't know anything about the case being discussed here, but my expectation is that the non-renewal of an adjunct status cannot be compared with getting fired as a tenure or tenure-track professor.

I had similar experiences with backwards technology while visiting the US. Buying tickets for the BART or Caltrain is nothing similar to the experience with NS in the Netherlands or even the BVG/MVG in Germany (even if Caltrain nowadays has an app), it feels really antiquated and buggy. Having my card swiped and asking for signatures in receipts at stores, cafés or restaurants is also a thing of the past even in Brazil.

The metro card in NYC is also pretty outdated, the whole metro system looks terrible but talking strictly about technology even the ticket machines are problematic, touch screens that don't work properly and so on; buying bus ticket in PABT is also a quite bad experience.
Colleague #3: "Sounds good to me. We're behind the firewall and the NIC used for Dell iDRAC or HP iLO is on an isolated network unique to the physical datacenter. Remote access for our techs is managed through a secured bridge that requires all sorts of security hoops on our company intranet, and remote access for general internet traffic is not available due to the firewall restrictions. There's no way hackers will get through that in the first place."
There's diesel trains running out of Kings Cross, Euston, Marylebone and Waterloo as well. They're definitely the minority of train services overall, but there's still a lot of them.
> They have similar language to nordic ones, Yes.

No :)

Estonian an Livonian are Finno-Ugric. They have a relation to Finnish (but in no way to Scandinavian languages) and Hungarian. This group ist vastly different from any other language in Europe including the Slavic languages. Moreover, Livonian is not to be considered as equivalent to Latvia - Latvian being the official language there.
Hi, I'm a broke American who would only eat organic, not buy cheap electronics from China, volunteer 6 hours a week, help out the homeless every Saturday, never use Uber, and take part in every major political protest.... just as soon as my government decides an economy functions better when the people who make it up aren't living on scraps. Ethical consumption under late-stage capitalism is a myth. It can't happen.

And before you tell me something about lifestyle changes, I pay well over $100 a month for various software and distribute around $50 to the local homeless a month. But that isn't the norm and most people can't justify it. Our tech salaries blind us from how the rest of the world lives.

I mean... I contribute to and release my own free software, so at least I'm putting my money where my mouth is? Making things free is a form of economic resistance.

And auditors don't really have access to passwords etc. They can run an assessment tool to see that there's an account named "admin," but typically don't get access to /etc/shadow or passwords within applications.

Now a pentester? If they don't spot this during an assessment, they suck. But pentesting isn't always performed on a rigorous schedule.

While there are benefits of learning Haskell as a developer. I am curious about the professional benefits versus the time and effort required to master the language to the extent that you are employable and command a good salary compared to just focusing on mainstream languages where you probably have a lot more competition but also a lot more opportunities.
Wondering if those active filters I've seen in the past might be an idea - isn't it the case that exhaust pollution is only half of emissions, with the rest coming from brakes and tyres?

The US was right to be suspicious of diesel.
This is awesome! Have you tried to get in contact with GitHub? It'd be nice if they embraced the project. Maybe adding a new button or tab with a shelter link to the project (they already have a forks view).
>For example, Equifax relied upon four digit pins derived from Social Security numbers and birthdays to guard personal information, despite the fact that these weak passwords had already been compromised in previous breaches. Furthermore, Equifax employed the username “admin” and the password “admin” to protect a portal used to manage credit disputes, a password that “is a surefire way to get hacked.” This portal contained a vast trove of personal information.
The Thanos snap would be far and away more effective.
It's a disgrace that black cabs are allowed the exemptions they currently receive (bus lanes, ULEZ, congestion charge, waiting on double lines etc). They're an incredibly inefficient form of transport used almost exclusively by tourists and the wealthy and the non-PHEV are some of the most polluting vehicles on the road.

The black cab lobby enjoys a disproportionate amount of power when it comes to policy-making on transport. Most Londoners would not miss them if black cabs disappeared overnight but somehow huge allowances are made to ensure they continue to operate the way they do, often at the expense of everyone else.
The US is doing QE in a big way right now, something is up.

I am observing other late cycle signs as well. Suddenly tech hiring dried up in my city and there is a construction boom underway as though many construction permits were suddenly all approved in order to bolster hiring among blue collar workers who are further out on the edge financially.
I keep bringing up OAuth2 because it's in a similar domain to EME. Authorization restricts access to resources that users are not supposed to be accessing (for whatever reason, be it privacy or they simply haven't paid to access it).

Similarly, encryption restricts usage of resources in ways users are not supposed to use them (including having not paid for the privilege).

It's not "counter to interoperability" that Google Drive won't fork over your documents to anyone who requests them without the right token.

Your frustration isn't the technology, it's what it's used for. If you want to claim EME isn't a standard, clarify how it differs from OAuth2.
That's because Regus actually makes money, while WeWork is burning cash at an unsustainable rate in an attempt to grab market share.

WeWork can't keep it up forever. Eventually they have to raise prices and/or cut perks (probably both).

Well, at least they have those filters. In Poland, it's common to cut off these filters because most people don't want to spend money to replace them and supposedly the fuel efficiency is better without those.

A lot of wonderful, wonderful things. Anonymous has roots in 4chan. A lot of amazing political activism has sprung from 4chan. And it was the seed for the entire meme culture which permeates the internet.

At its peak, 4chan along with half a dozen other forums entirely contained the fountain of creativity from which the modern internet drew its inspiration.

I have been visiting 4chan since elementary school, now well in my twenties, so I have seen the changes over the years. What exists today is a shell of what once was. moot, the resident admin, left some years ago and placed the forum in the hands of a third party with conflicted interests and no interest in proper moderation.

It's also worth mentioning that /b/, the board everyone is most familiar with outside of 4chan, is the one where you hear about all the illegal racist stuff getting posted.

Before /pol/ was hijacked into a nazi version of /b/, it was actually a wonderful place for political discussion. And there are dozens of other topic-specific boards which harbor some very thought-provoking discussion.
>For the rest of us debtors...it remains an ongoing disaster

Taxpayers didn't pay for bailouts. The Fed did. Taxpayers did make a profit form them, however, since the profits the Fed saw from the bailouts were, by law, handed over to Treasury (except for statutory operating expenses), offsetting taxes.

>those who greased the runways for the shareholders with their lost homes

Most of those those losing homes did so by taking loans they could not pay, and the ripples were felt by those not taking such loans, in their retirement funds. Those who left those funds alone recovered the value and then some after the recession. Those who did not, or could not, did lose value.

But don't just blame bankers. Also blame borrowers defaulting.
The article seems to equate understanding something with reading documentation.
Or at least such lawsuits should be recognised as the vexatious and frivolous litigation which they are, and sanctions made accordingly (pay the defendants' costs, and disbarment for repeated cases).

I'm not sure it's useful, I'm sure it might be an interesting diversion, but I'm absolutely not going to provide a real email address. I'd be interested to hear others' takes on the whole idea of providing email addresses to random "services" like this.
Unfortunately the black cab lobby is too powerful for the mayor to do much in my opinion. The slightest change make them go blocking entire streets with their cabs. That's a shame because I still don't understand why they have the privilege to use bus lanes over normal cars.
Agreed. It's much more likely the deformities are the result of chemical exposure or other factors. The scary sounding "4.5 billion year half life" of DU is synonymous with it not being very radioactive at all.

DU is toxic, but the main hazard is inhaling the dust. That's likely not a big issue unless you're near impacting rounds...

Americans don't need to think of him as a Russian agent because of the treatment he is experiencing - they need to consider him a Russian agent because that allows them to continue to ignore the crimes against humanity and war crimes that their country has been committing, in their name, for decades - and which Julian worked, tirelessly, to expose to the world to see: embarrassing Americans who were previously convinced of their nations exceptionalism.

Americans need to be distracted by the "ma' Russians!" narrative in order to be kept entirely ignorant of the 500,000 innocent people they have killed in their quest for glory in the Middle East. THAT is why "ma' Russians!" is being propagated as a narrative - because if anyone thinks the Americans shouldn't be getting away with murder, they sure as hell won't have the moral authority required to do something about it, if they are Russians, or Russian tools...

America is in the grips of another McCarthy era. There is NEVER any evidence given that "ma' Russians", yet the trills call out every time an American evil is placed on the table.

Giotto – A Python library for topological data analysis
Diesel trains built in the last two decades (e.g. class 220/221/222) are already Diesel-electric, meaning the Diesel engine drives a generator which powers an electric motor. Doing it this way is more effective because you can run the Diesel engine under optimal conditions all the time.

This also makes it possible to build bi-modal trains that run on Diesel on non-electrified tracks and use a pantograph on electrified bits (like London). That's what is being done in the UK now under the Intercity Express programme in order to replace the old Diesel trains (HST/Class 125): https://www.hitachi-rail.com/products/rolling_stock/bi_mode/... - these are the class 800/801/802 trains mentioned by vertex-four in a sibling comment.
I was dumbfounded by this when I was consulting prior and worked with some banks on mortgage compliance. Almost everything about banking is self assessments and reporting. It is similar to the idea of Boeing doing self testing for the FAA and reporting all is fine. Regulation doesn't bring safety or security, it brings reporting that rarely gets analyzed and even if it is there is no way it will show anything but the most blatant of fraud etc. It is akin to closing the barn doors after the horses have all left, at least the banks can say hey 10 horses left, but nothing was done to prevent it and they won't get in trouble cause they reported on it.

At least that was kinda my takeaway from those jobs. I could just have a skewed version based on the stuff I worked on.
It's an alternative for sure and has specific use cases, but calling Outline a VPN is disingenuous. It's just a Socks proxy with some obfuscation built in.

Some years ago when Google translate was released I made a large web app compatible so I didn't have to translate everything manually. Then Google crippled it. One of the cool feature was that you could chat with other users and it would be translated in real time. I'm now planning to add translations to another app, but if it could be done Automatically in Firefox, like with Google translate when it first came out, that would be so awesome. Would save me a lot of work.

I can't help but feel that the drive towards docker-style containerisation was fueled by nothing more than the fad for developing on OS X. If you've got an environment where the devs are working on the same OS as production, it becomes much easier to adopt OS packages (whatever flavour that is) as the deployment mechanism, and as a side benefit it becomes easier to set up the dev environment in the first place.

I've done this with Debian, it worked great.
Exactly. This also extends further. I have led and managed, and always try to take on the least appealing work while letting those I managed do the 'fun' work.
Heh, I just bought an x200 for the same reason. I was able to retrofit Bluetooth, Wifi, the Hard drive to a new SSD, flash libreboot, and put in 8 GB or RAM. Debian + XFCE is amazingly fast on it

Oddly enough, I am having an issue with the keyboard though. I unplugged it and when I replugged it in, keys stopped working. Repeating that process made a lot more keys stop working as well. I have a feeling that's just because the ribbon cable was old though, so I am replacing the whole thing.
The simulations you're talking about are beyond what can be done on our biggest supercomputers today. Games with realistic chemistry would be a great application of personal quantum computers. See you in fifty years. ;)
The US wasn't suspicious of Diesel. People here associated them with being too dirty, noisey and high vibration. They didn't want to drive something that ran like a truck or bus. Of course this was in the 70's/80's when there were barely any emission controls and engines were all mechanically controlled. Unfortunately that image stuck with them well into the "clean" diesel era. Shame as my friend had a diesel Passat with manual transmission and it was amazing on fuel and fun to drive.
Eastern Europe may have advantages in terms of bureaucracy. It's far easier to experiment with the rules when you don't have a huge number of existing businesses/processes that need to be changed, very similar to how it's easier to change an API in a newish products vs, say, Windows.

BUT: Eastern Europe also has huge drawbacks. In countries like Poland, Hungary, or Bulgaria, your risk of abrupt changes in the law (see above) or simply ignorance of the rule of law, is somewhat elevated compared to France, the US, or Germany.

And while these countries want to attract foreign investors, if you actually want to spend significant time in the country, or hire foreigners to work there, you better make sure your neither dark-skinned nor jewish.
In the UK there is a £5000 fine for any garage which cuts them out - I wish the same fine was applied in Poland, at the moment it's not legal to do but 1) the penalty for doing so is marginal 2) there is no enforcement at all.

I don't see any claim in that article about everything being subjective, it's very specifically about programming languages.

I would argue that programming languages are subjective. There are many different equally viable ways to model the world and programmers should pick the one that aligns with how their brain works.

I'm not convinced it's possible to objectively rank programming languages from best to worse. They are not fundamental properties of the universe simply mental models devised by humans for humans.
