The article is poorly written. "Scammers are using cellphone's Bluetooth option to hack the pump - and get it for free." is all the detail you get. My cellphone's Bluetooth doesn't have that option.

Yeah this is an extremely limited use case with very few data points. It doesn't take into account corporate discounts, spot instances, reserved instances, savings gained from replatforming/rearchitecting to *aaS options. The auth

A bit hyperbolic don't you think? We've had Medicare since 1966 and despite the bad press the VA gets it has the highest rate of satisfaction of any system in the US. https://news.gallup.com/poll/186527/a

I love the incessant deification of Steve Jobs, regardless of his mistakes, juvenile behavior, and constant stories about his abuse of his staff. In this story Jobs mistakes the wrong person for John Carmack, becomes deeply offended by a si
