After visiting the bay area ... it makes me wonder if Tesla done f'd up by not working with them on an OS for their cars. It seems like such a natural fit for the two.

I think the entire statosphere of DevOps is just about dead on the whole in 2018 .. in retro, after working with things like Docker .. and more specific industry variations beyond the Amazon tech, it makes no sense to dwell on the security

Ya, that's the irony I find in that. I thought I was the only one not drinking the kool-aid here from the outside in view.

People wanted disruption ... well that's what you get. Economics of capitalism at work.

It's a tough bag, and unfortunate, because there are some really talented folks left swinging in the wind. Case in point - Kevin Mitnick, but that is a solid example to follow and take advice on post-computer access from yore. You don&

Kinda not really keen on its perverse use of title with "Strongman". China makes up 1.38 billion people of the world's population and the over generalizations of the article don't highlight the issues that China faces in

Well, one thing to really do is look at the resumes of some of the great photographers of all time and work your way backwards. I saw that, because artistic photographers often partake in pay-jobs and end up being totally outside of the rea

Honestly, I can't agree more with this. It's like talking about cars, and then talking about weapons of mass destruction. Its falls in the context of scope, and not creep over that scope. But it is what it is. Keep it separated.

A >>former-friend<< was running an illegal FTP full of software on Macs at CompUSA for years through their firewall even. Don't think it doesn't happen. Its like weed growers on state-federal owned land. Worst thing th

define "illegal" imagery .. two steps to avoid 1337 h@x0rs is to not send in a personal hard drive in the first place. Ethics at the $10/h counter is about as transparent as this glass of water I'm drinking. Morality, es

Does anyone know the source of those stats? "steep decline of animal, fish and bird numbers was calculated by analyzing 10,000 different populations, covering 3,000 species" Logistically speaking, I'd like to know how they tr

So let me ask you .... how do IT folks actually handle this type of situation? The experience required for systems work both in the field and base are both between making soldiers at home, in combat zones, and also keeping them safe. It&#x2

It's a platform problem. The cross-availability of information on let's say ... Google Android. They can use a microphone, wifi signal analysis, and other techniques that make your GPS coordination data moot. What's getting m

They are not robots. Why do they need iPads? Why do they need personal phones? Not being snide, but when on deployment they have a LOT of tech tools, just like any other demographic of folks. It's just a thing ...

I call this data scrapping .. two sets of data, and making correlations is my primary job function. I can't tell you how easy it is to take static data and make it dynamic with a series of algorithms that are well thought out, for corr

It's sort of in that realm of de-identified personal data. I think that location data is right up there with physical address. It's because one doesn't have to take a very large stretch to identify your house ... from cross-i

Namely disable them. The website registration is about as annoying as pop-ups now. It's one of those things, that once you open pandora's box on ... you can't really put it back in the box. I find notifications great for a ph

Yes, but outsource to someone like SITEL to handle these. It's not like Microsoft staffs the phone directly.

My spidey sense in law has to ask myself, "I wonder if that's HIPAA compliant" lol. Should just call it the Dark HIPAA requirements and un-UX in Health Insurance. Laughing aside, the real data pinch in HI is the meta data of

Not to be against state's rights here, but isn't Net Neutrality anti-business? If a state goes it alone, does it risk pro-business components who might leave the state? Curiosity vs. equality slant, so not looking to pick a bone h

My question is the demand collapse, and transition to a demand spike. The current models of increased load, like demand reduction and management companies that do nothing more than broker kW for incentives for shut-down during high peak tim

What was the post-Obama efforts to dismantle the wire tapping program that Bush had put in place w/ the perceived powers of the executive? That's a serious question, since I don't really know history behind it.

Curiosity is getting the best of me, and I figured HN is a good place to scratch the itch. Has anyone done a study or solicited information from the government that shows the impact of legislation such as FISA or better yet the Patriot ACT

Actually that's the FIRST time I've ever heard of lattice. Is that a real deal? Not trying to feed into the hype here, but from a math perspective I get fascinated by concurrency
