Attackers are being shielded by and adversarial nation states and taking advantage of currency exfiltration via crypto currencies. So, arguably ransomware attacks should be treated as terrorism and, in some cases, acts of war. Whatever 'war' means in this context.

"..a nice WebUI"

I challenge that assertion!

I believe it. Networking is seen as a commodity now. It's transparent until it fails. There's a whole lot of technical debt lurking out there. I personally have seen the dark shadow of spanning tree suck the light out of DevOp engineers eyes.

And I'm being downvoted for that? Seriously? In 13 years of networking I have never once had to reload machine to help with OSPF or BGP convergence. Good networking architecture and planning should mitigate anything other than a couple of minute outage. No routing change should ever require a reload of a server or end node.

Sorry - are you telling us you had to reboot all nodes because you swapped a router out? Sounds like you need a network engineer.

Like panarky, I wouldn't take that on face value. I'm going to guess that a significant number of people use the same password for Ebay as for Paypal. Someone's got a lot of incentive to generate some hashes tonight..

He could give a private donation.

Anyhow, I know they need money now. Any publicity is...

I had my 40th on Sunday. I had an interview on the Friday and I had the distinct impression that I did match the interviewers picture of the team member he wanted. This was as Security Engineer working on a relatively large Security team within a large company that hosts a lot of domains. Point of this comment is that this is the first time I walked away thinking 'does he think I'm too old for that role'. Maybe I shouldn't be saying how much I want to work around people who know things I don't.. how much I want to learn. Perhaps I'm expected to be a manager now :(

Amazon are apparently scanning themselves. If they are doing this then they might figure that the quantity of exposed keys will undermine their reputation. That is quite something in itself.

My newly built Aircooled flat-4 needed running in. Lots of moving parts with fine tolerance needed bedding in. I quickly followed with an oil change to remove the anticipate swarf that resulted. Oil consumption reduced after 500 miles or so as the piston rings sealed up.

Then the vacuum diaphragm on my distributer needed to soften a little. On first use it wasn't flexible enough to move the advance arm quickly within the distributer so my spark advance curve was to low. After breaking it in it is much more responsive.

I would guess speaker diaphragm movement changes as materials wear, weaken or transform into their expected constituency.

Your toaster on the other hand.. maybe the oil will burn off the elements and your toast will taste nicer?

Not a very helpful article for the insomniac. Surely a bigger problem for many people is being able to fall asleep at all, let alone sleep for a required number of hours.

I think there can be some simple regulation. IE take this public office and you must remain impartial for the rest of your career. It should be a privilege to serve.

Take a look at Aspartame controversies. In essence the US Attorney charged with opening a grand jury into their research withdrew and took a job working for Searle, manufacturers of Aspartame. The Grand Jury never occurred. A few years later the FDA Commissioner who gave Aspartame the green light went on to work for their PR company. To this day people don't trust Aspartame even though (debatably) the research shows it's safe.

So even perceived conflicts of interest can adversely affect public perspectives on the objectivity of scientific research. That's not good in a democracy.

Both enforcing it and observing the spirit of the law would work for me. There is space for continuous deployment of no bribe regulation here.

Right now they have no chance of being elected unless they spend obscene sums. Remove that need through campaign finance regulations and you will remove an enormous source of leverage. I would be happy to see a 50% mix of public money and 50% individual capped donations making up a cursory figure. Legally require large networks to give free and equal airtime to each candidate with enough support to justify inclusion. It simply cannot be impossible to remove the biggest sources un-democratic influence.

The argument is that if you deny people entry you miss out on talent. It is that simple. Now you want to deny people with proven talent who's abilities will further the interests of the nation state. Some of those you deny will have exceptional abilities. The nation as a whole loses.

It is very sad that nine percent of computer science graduates are unemployed. Why is that? Why are they not fulfilling the already critical need for skilled IT workers? A clue - it's not because the immigrants are taking all there jobs.

Love the quote BTW - from and immigrant news service.

I would rather that they simply were not allowed conflicts of interest during and after office. No joining companies lobbying for the industry you were supposedly regulating when in office. ETC.

Einstein, Tesla and Musk. None of those guys would have ended up in the US if you had any power over immigration policy. Oh.. and are you native? Genuine question as I have no idea.

Admit it. You only commented so you could type "'meatspace' firewall". me too.

Is attempted blinding really the intention? They should be locked up for overestimating the power of laser pointers if nothing more.

I keep reading 'attempted murder' too. Hyperbolic nonsense. Shooting at a plane maybe but shining a light - give me a break!

No it isn't. It's a distracting annoyance at best.

Only 7 years and you're tired already? Maybe it's not the job for you?

Is post industrial work ever completely compatible with the essential human condition?

The idea is that two stores shouldn't be able to sell one unique product. I would argue otherwise..

Author feels that there is a link between Amazon and both storefronts. IE Laptop purchased from store A Returned. Same laptop sold as new from Store B. Author checked original storefront name with original customer after finding customer's PII. Author feels Amazon is creating fake store fronts for some reason. Author also investigative journalist in need of new scoop.

How long should you hold them to your face?

Do you have any evidence to support your begging theory? I would guess that the homeless go where they can get shelter without being arrested. But I haven't checked the research.

I get the impression that there is another benefit here. Each tenant has their own space to be responsible for. It's small enough to manage but maybe brings a sense of ownership that would be lacking in a regular municipal type shelter or shared apartment block.

Agree completely. Do it properly and LA will not have the kind of class war affecting NorCal.

Forcing people to work out of the most congested and expensive parts of LA is going to compound the misery. Why anyone thinks it's a good idea to base themselves West of the 405 is beyond me.

I sincerely hope they base this out of Burbank/Glendale which gives ready accessibility to Pasadena, East LA, Hollywood and further North without commute hell.

This is what happens when you pay lip service to customer support but keep them at the bottom of the food chain. You must employ good CS managers and empower them to communicate. You must then ensure that any variance in service good or bad is communicated either by your social networking presence or to your key customers. Sadly most places I've worked are run egocentric idiots who are so insecure they couldn't possibly allow autonomy on the front lines.

In choosing egypturnash you achieved your objective.
