I'd say it's somewhat relevant - it's saying that 'we have a problem now - here's how the "internet of things" will make that problem worse. Maybe figure out mitigations before you buy into the "internet of things"' . . .

However, here it's likely preaching to the choir. But for general consumption / random google search results, it seems like it's a good idea to point out that this could be an issue.

Last time I took a maths class, 6 was not "hundreds". If 6 billion isn't a typo, then the article is way out of whack, and the economics are actually heavily stacked in the hyperloop's favour, as 2 airports with terminals and a dozen 747s to shuttle between them would end up costing more than 6 billion.

Once I went to a zoo with my GF-at-the-time. We were in a gift shop mucking around with the various doodads, next thing I know, I see flakes falling from above. I look up at the wood beams running along the ceiling, and watched as a carpenter bee dug through the wood, crawled out of the hole and then flew away. Those suckers dig fast.

Readvertise with stricter requirements. If you're getting 1000 resumes, your person specification is way too vague.

So get a free security suite. Comodo IS for instance is HIPS, Firewall, Sandbox and the like, and will block or sandbox things it doesn't recognize, well before there's a signature. It also can use their cloud engine for near realtime signature updates for the lightly used AV engine (it's not needed much as HIPS etc blocks before AV would scan in my experience)...

For free at home, I use Comodo (I know there's controversy, but it's worked well for me and others I know for years). If I wanted to pay or at work, I'd recommend ESET.

I live in an apartment building and there is no wiring in the parkade. Nor is there any requirement (or incentive) to retrofit the building.

Law in California says landlords can't refuse to allow you to install EV charging infrastructure. You'll have to foot the bill, but they can't say no:

I wonder if it's more that Facebook is dead among the audience of Slashdot? Though I wonder if it was ever really a thing for the type of people on Slashdot...

If the FBI 'joins the dots' by connecting Pirate Bay uploader 'sharkmp4' and porn producer Ingenuity13 to Prenda (which seems pretty likely), then Prenda's whole business model looks very different.

They claim to be acting on behalf of Ingenuity13 to defend Ingenuity13 against copyright infringement started by sharkmp4... which would be legal, if they were not taking a blunderbuss approach to sending out accusations to people who are innocent but would rather pay up than go to court.

If however, Prenda, Ingenuity13 and sharkmp4 are one entity, they actually set just up a honeypot on their own behalf, and all the downloads were actually legal (because the copyright holder chose to share the files), all the accusations were false (and actionable), every penny of revenue they made was fraud, and they have been lying to more courts than most other corrupt or racketeering organisations even get to see the inside of. This is so illegal on so many levels that they'll pretty much end up not being sentenced by a court to life imprisonment, but simply dying of old age standing in the dock while the list of charges is still being read out.

Why? Because some people don't play follow the fad, or because of something specifically wrong about Slashdot? I mean, reddit to me was always something different from Slashdot - I never really saw any sort of content curation or the like - though apparently based on this I just managed to totally miss a lot of Reddit. Anyway, Slashdot really hasn't changed that much for me since I started using it years ago.

Electricity use - did you even watch the video? Of course not. Also, the data survives a drive failure.

What I wonder is why they think this is better than LTO6, which already has robots etc COTS solution. It's possible, maybe, that it takes less space. It is resilient to stray magnets in a way tapes maybe wouldn't be - but is that a common issue with LTO?

citation needed.

Every definition I have read has nothing on where the SOURCE of the action is, just on the ACTION itself. Censorship is not about who does it, but that there is an editing, a repressing of opinion - some cases, like private companies editing their journalists (to various extends) are fine, but that's not a matter of "censorship" versus "not censorship," but a question of "acceptable censoring" versus "unacceptable censoring."

Only if you're utterly an utter failure at critical thinking. Liberalizing alone does not give any hint at the extent, which can be as simple as preventing them from lasting as long as they do, and allowing consumers to do modifications, and backing up unhindered (as well as the ability to play media on whatever device they want unhindered) - which is a far cry from that in any sense of the word *

* purposefully excluding the fact that copyright infringement =/= theft legally, and the opinion that the two should stay separate on all levels, because of how much of a tangent I risk going off of by touching that can of worms.

5 minutes per day, over 96 days, of productivity lost, is not the equivalent of a full day of productivity lost, even though the amount of minutes are the same.

Seriously, if you have security policies that are interfering unreasonably with your staff's ability to do its job

Until some drone with mapped server drives gets cryptolocker and gets everyone's files encrypted, and causes everyone to lose a day of work, then IT gets blamed for lacking security. Can't have it both ways, can ya?
