Dedicated lines

If you buy a dedicated line, you get get a dedicated line. Singular. So if it gets cut, don's act surprised by the results.... :)

Some people???

I cant even search on the non prime part of the site! The only thing I can do is click on the links that are shown and if I want to step through 30 links then it works. But even then it crashes. Almost, completely useless....

Who wants to bet that we will be seeing an extension and/or here's a $5 dollar discount for your issues...

Boss said leave it alone.

Pai was told by his boss not to interfere with any possible independent operation of the Russian National Convention or the National Russian Association.

Its not the guns, its the people.

These same people want the people who do the smallest amount of drugs thrown in jail. They want the drug dealers put away for life and their ability to vote removed. But they don't blame that on games. However, if a kid unloads a gun on a school ground or out of a building killing tens of people, then its, well okay... Just don't take away our guns. Its my right to be able to kill a bunch of people when I want... Its the only thing that makes me feel like a man since I am lacking on other ways...

But who do we write the checks to if we loose.

I can just imagine the Judge asking Zuck to use facial recognition database to determine who lives in the state and send them a check since he already knows their address, phone number, data of birth, SS number, hobbies, who they voted for...

Trump and republican party only cares

if it's not Russian. Than they have a problem with them since according to trump and company the Russians are good for us. I remember when the Republicans actually cared about those things.

And this is surprising.

There is a reason countries like China mandate that every account has a legit, registered name behind it. While at first I thought this was just an attempt to stifle comments about the government by holding people accountable to their laws, its also a way of holding people accountable for other things as well. People are arguable dumb and will listen to almost anything and start believing anything.

The question is where do you draw the line and who draws the line . :( :(

Somebody needs to find Dr. Forbin and have him build an impartial colossus.

Controller?

Who makes the controller?

Cancelled program??

Really, Intel cancelled a that didn't involve the x86 directly and someone is surprised!?!?. Name a program that does not directly impact x86 cores or chipsets that Intel gets into and then once people start to think it might be interesting, Intel cancels it. The standard flow at Intel is, if you don't own 80% of the market after 3 years, you're shut down. Screw the customers that are just starting to come on board.... This is even more obvious. It requires SW and working with customers on SW, a double reason to kill it. Some people are so destined to repeat the past over and over again and then act suprised...

Emissions

This is why the FCC and other governments have established emissions controls for electronic equipment. I wonder if the Antminer S5 emission engineers were hired from VW?

Twice screwed

What about the real victim here? The parent trying to get their kids term paper back is not doubly screwed as they still will not get their stuff back.

This is normal operating procedure...

This gives you an idea of how this data can and is used. If that company collecting the data is forced to or just gives this data to a foreign government(Enter government name here) and a normal business practice, then it can be used for all sorts of interesting data collection and mischief(Enter your type here).

And people want to continue to use these things?

I doubt very much if they were FDIC or similarly insured. Idiots....

Its not an issue until you out a sniffer on an Huawei router and see it ping a Chinese IP every now and then even though your not doing anything and not accessing and IP's even close to there. I've seen this. By Chinese law, they have to do this. As a trade journal you might want to look into their laws and really understand what it means.

As far as not trusting google (which I don't). Its a point of picking the lesser of two evils. If I remember right Google got kicked out of china market because they showed what and how the Chinese government was accessing their servers and others. They are one of the few companies that put up and did what was right. Name another company that did this?

Or maybe go figure out why a lot of the Chinese drones are no longer allowed to be used by US military and other militarys.

I thought

I thought Trump invented it. I heard that on Fox News.

Semiconductors are getting hard to fill

Its getting harder and harder to fill a semiconductor die and afford one. At 28nm we put a 4 core a57 complex, big GCU and VPU codec, cell phone modem on a 60mm die and sold them for under $10. It got to the point that each generation just had bigger/more CPU, GCU, and VPUs and if you didnt jump nodes every other year you were left behind. 7nm mask sets will be $7-$10 Million contain the same old units. But if you mess up, it gets even more expensive. But there was really nothing "new" during the last 5-8 years. You see the same thing from Intel, AMD and NVIDIA as well as the DDR, NAND and other memories. Just more cores, bigger cores, more memory cells. No really new ideas. Just bigger/better/faster. This is why you see the huge consolidation in the area now.

All day x86 is already here

In looking for laptops for my daughter I see numerous laptops that already go 8-12 hours. So what is this going to buy me now?

To me it seems that over the last several years/generations Intel has become more power aware and has reduced power their power to 5-15 watts for laptops and when you look at a high end ARM processor they now go up to 10-15 watts. So whats the difference other than one runs x86 naively and will run all of my apps and the other one will not...

Spec

The question though was there a procedure and was it being followed? If I am building a rocket that will be carrying humans or 100's of million dollars worth equipment, having every part tested is not a bad procedure and it will cost money and time, deal with it! If that same part was in a $300 quad copter for my kid, I don't think we need to test every part.

Look at this industry, quality counts and if you dont' think so consider the following. How much money was spent on the premature failure of the ODM box on the ISS after only a few months in space this week. Look at the recent issues with the Proton using "questionable" parts. Or look at the lack of testing on a previously used helium tank on a certain rocket manufacturer. There is a reason to test, test, test and follow procedures and then test again. I agree you can not test in quality, but it helps and now that SpaceX is in high volume production, quality control and verification is key to their success.

Trump Reaction

Conspiracy Idea # 5

This is just a follow through by Trump after dumping the privacy rules and now net neutrality both of which Google had a big hand it. If he can discredit them or at least distract people, it will allow the corporations to take over.... Anyone that helped with protecting the people or their privacy is an enemy and must be destroyed.

To Be Fair

Have you looked at some of these. This one from Keeper requires you have physical access to the phone and email. This is not some hack the webcam type of issue. Below is the just the first half of the actual report for one of the keeper issues. And I am sure there are others beyond these, but you will never get 100 percent bug free, you just want to make your app harder to break then the attacker wants to spend.

If the user is logged out, the master password has to be entered to access the passwords in the app. An adversary with local access to the device can now attempt to reset the master password. For this attack scenario it is also assumed that, by having local access to the device the adversary has also access to the mail account which is connected to the keeper account.

By entering the password incorrectly once the adversary can select “Forgot Password” after which a verification code has to be entered.

In this state the Keeper app with minSdkVersion=15, the adversary can launch the activity com.callpod.android_apps.keeper.DeepLinkActivity by using the shell based Activitymanager am

Targets?

"but exploits abusing the security blunder peaked at less than eight infections per million users"

Its perfectly secure unless your the people trying to make a difference or are pointing out issues by almost any government any more. At which time you and your family will become one of the 8 in a million. If your just some arm chair quarterback sitting in your lounge chair pointing fingers at everyone else, then your safe.

One hand scratches the other

Don't worry, the Putin will be on the phone reminding Trump that he owes him a few favors...

As your skills and tools get better so do the measurements. Look at measuring the speed of light for example,

1638 Galileo: at least 10 times faster than sound

1675 Ole Roemer: 200,000 Km/sec

1728 James Bradley: 301,000 Km/s

1849 Hippolyte Louis Fizeau: 313,300 Km/s

1862 Leon Foucault 299,796 Km/s

Today: 299792.458 km/s
