Not every program packed with UPX is a virus.
They already know that every dollar that you donate to the SPCA is money that you're not using to help your fellow man. Something tells me they like all other animals more than people.
So, what do you think is more risky... apparently incompetent IT management / staff who don't know how to keep things patched (e.g. Equifax, previous government SNAFUs), or the risk of turning over sensitive information to someone else, who one presumes has more expertise in keeping stuff secure.
The latter, because cloud services by definition have a higher attack surface since there are multitudes of clients on the inside, and more people with access to the data. They're also jucier targets for bad actors as hacking cloud infrastructure gives access to all their customers data.

Your argument doesn't make sense though.
If a card is being used for fraud, I assume it would be all or nothing.
The odds that I donate to ten projects, then someone steals my card, and donates to an 11th causing the first ten to be reversed seems super low.
If you wait for it to load and don't scroll, it will eventually jump down to the relevant section anchor (Sec. 6002). It's a really slow loading page, though.
Literally the only thing it says in the bill is to tell the FAA that they should regulate it in some form. It doesn't restore anything or designate what that regulation should do.
I am assuming your version of APK Hosts File Engine 10++ 32/64-bit is MALWARE.
I'm guessing others have tested it in a sandbox for malicious behavior. Do you assume Intel and AMD CPUs contain malware? And if you do, do you use them despite said assumption?
So why not just open source it
If this post is to be believed, APK doesn't want people adding malware, building it, and distributing it, like eFast did with Chromium.
The other option is for some Slashdot user to make a free replacement. Does the functionality described in this specification appear useful?
Runaway costs?
It says they're dropping (though maybe that's due to neglect).
It seems to me that hacking Google or Amazon might actually be significantly harder than hacking some poorly-run Government IT dept. I mean look at the whole Hillary mail server fiasco.
I'm inclined to agree about resources - other than possibly exotic matter which may not be possible to synthesize by the species involved. Magnetic monopoles, useful strangelets, negative-density unobtanium to enable antigrav or FTL, - the sort of things that might have immense value, and cannot be synthesized from local materials.
And obviously that could extend into useful organisms, or perhaps even just seed "cell-lines" that could be used to create clonable alien "zygotes" using synthesized "DNA" that can be transmitted later, since it might prove extremely difficult to synthesize an entire living cell based on completely alien biochemistry - perhaps easier to bootstrap the recipient with a tiny bio-culture from which other organisms could be created. Likewise nanotech, or other self-replicating "technology" - things where a comparatively tiny cargo can grow to deliver massively outsized value. Basically information in one sense, but information coupled to physical realization. "Pure" information is likely more easily sent by tightbeam transmission.
As for raw (elemental) materials - there's probably not a whole lot of interest on Earth - the gas giants have neatly concentrated most of the useful gasses in quantities dwarfing anything available on Earth, and the Oort cloud likely has far more rocky materials than the inner system. Unless some sort of very patient roving planet-eaters venture here with the intent to strip-mine the solar system we're probably okay.
Though... interstellar "locusts", intelligent or otherwise, are certainly something to consider. If humanity develops the technology to travel to the stars, either personally or in multi-generational world-ships stocked with enough energy to drift leisurely between stars, we might well become just such a species ourselves. After all, if we choose to colonize the outer solar system, our habitats will likely grow to be large and self-sustaining enough that a thousand-year migration to a nearby star would not be overly burdensome.
There are a few very important things that any aspiring web designer must bear in mind while building a professional repertoire, here are 10 tips http://bit.ly/2Cf4WJO
Why doesn't it scale? Is their any fundamental reason they couldn't use an LTE like technology to broadcast using similar (RF) bandwidth as LTE (I'm using broadcast to mean 1 sender many receivers)?
The broadcast part is pretty much scaled by definition.
for mealtime streaming they'd likely use 5mbps (Netflix HD), that gives a tower 200 homes at a 10-50% reduction in overall network bandwidth (20-100gbps tower), there are probably places that would work too (sparser suburbs, not universally).
There's potential to use caching too, to prevent popular content from hitting the back haul, the LTE network itself is apparently capable of up to 18(subdivided)*128(users)*600mbps (this seems really high, just reading this), if the top 10% of content is 75% of streaming (made up numbers but seem reasonable), that's essentially allows for a lot of streaming that doesn't hit the back haul (perhaps only the popular content can be streamed HD in real time).
if 75% of streams (and all live) are cached, then 20gbps back haul can handle all live (100 channels in HD for 2gbps, with a mix of 5-40mbps), + plus 75% of
cached streaming for some small part of back haul, but a significant part of the Wireless network itself, plus another whole lot of 5 mpbs streams to the end user.
It seems very scalable to me even without being able to broadcast the signal (just caching the live TV, plus the last 1000 hours of streamed content (40mbps * 60 seconds * 60 Minutes / 8 (bits in a byte) gets me 20 TiB of storage for 1100 hours).
as
That can be the most popular 1000+ episodes of the week, which must be a huge percentage of the non on demand part, if a cell tower really is capable of 1.3tbps, that's 34k steams at 40mbps, assuming 1 in 3 people are streaming at a time, that leaves plenty of space for overhead and the 100mbps of capable of hitting the internet traffic do to back haul.
It seems very scalable to me.
I'm actually going to say that I think they could probably get away with streaming their own service at 40mbps, with only very rarely needing to drop uncached streams to 5mbps.
There are 6 Tmobile towers in my county of 200 thousand households, so it won't work to provide 40mbps for everything even with the newest tech everywhere, but I could see them being able to handle a significant number of households with those six towers (if we say each household is using 3 streams on average at peak (your number) and they allow one 1 ultimate quality and 2 HD per a house for 50 total mbps (I think that sounds really hi), that's 400 mbps at peak, each tower would need to be able to provide 1/3 theoretical maximum to cover 25% of the houses, if it's profitable they can build out more.

Since when were any of you ever proud of being American?
I'm a proud American. There are a lot of things wrong with my country; there are plenty of stains on our history; and I'm concerned about our current vector. But we also claim a lot of accomplishments and advances and some of what we do helps the world. We have a lot of promise. America is Americans and some of my favorite people are Americans. America has Penn and Teller - What have you got?
What's the actual statistic on black on white crime and vice versa?
About 14.8% whites killed by blacks and 7.6% blacks killed by whites. Not remotely close to DJT's numbers. Whites are much more often killed by whites and ditto for blacks.

As a result of working for DOD contractors at various times my identity information — extremely detailed identity stuff, like who I went to grade school with and every place I've ever lived and every foreign country I've ever visited — has been stolen from Federal government systems three times now. We see no end of criminality in the handling of the Federal government's electronic documents and no end to the incompetence and deliberate neglect in maintaining recoverable backups.
This Federal government you imagine of competent, conscientious and moral people that don't neglect things and don't destroy incriminating things is a fiction inside your head, and no amount of billions of dollars can ever make it real; it's broken by design. I can't see how moving the bulk of it to efficiently run and competently maintained cloud environments could do any harm, and it may well improve things in a number of ways. At the very least it may stop being trivially simple for the next Paul Combetta to doctor and erase the record.
The tone deaf handling of Patreon (and I still can't grasp that, considering who created it, created it as a starving artist) would have been a perfect moment for Drip/Kickstarter to say fuck the invite only, let's roll. They'd probably have gotten a huge swath of folks switching because there was a reason too. The completely shit way Patreon handled this by announcing it to the users and creators simultaneously
It's unfortunate a lot of people lost income, as many people were like fuck this shit I'm out and bailed. I was hovering over the button to delete my pattern account this morning, but was trying to figure out how to keep paying the folks I do as I genuinely like this model of support.
Forgive me for slightly playing Devil's Advocate here. I'm also a bit wary of the rush to cloud services, but...
Haven't most of the worst security disasters we've heard of in the past few years come from companies or government departments losing control of their own in-house systems and data? So, what do you think is more risky... apparently incompetent IT management / staff who don't know how to keep things patched (e.g. Equifax, previous government SNAFUs), or the risk of turning over sensitive information to someone else, who one presumes has more expertise in keeping stuff secure.
For all the potential risks of cloud services, I haven't heard of too many major breaches of Amazon, Google, Intel, or Microsoft services, even though those have got to be very significant targets. Most "breaches" I've heard of involving AWS, for instance, are due to misconfiguration, not necessarily the fault of the platform.
If you read the article, you see a lot of compelling reasons for at least modernizing and consolidating many of those very expensive and often obsolete systems. Naturally, each federal agency has their own completely unique-as-a-snowflake system, and often pays many times what a more modern commercial system should typically cost. This is apparently an effort to get some runaway costs under control, and if it can be done safely, that's a big win. Whether this should be done with commercial cloud services rather than trying to consolidate internally is certainly a valid point of debate.
The worst of both worlds, of course, would be contracting with a cloud vendor who ALSO has incompetent management / IT staff. If the "unnamed cloud-based e-mail vendor" mentioned in the article turns out to be Yahoo, I'm going to sit in a corner and cry.
At some point they gave thought to the lack of restraints. In ST:TMP, the arms on Kirk's chair fold down automatically to grab his legs during the wormhole scene.

You say "cloud services", I say "time-sharing".
Big system with segmented processes and storage. They were a security nightmare. The first international conference on computer security in London in 1971 was primarily driven by the time-sharing concerns.
I didn't know that 'airwaves' could travel over powerlines. Maybe just the high frequency ones described in the summary? That's a hell of a breakthrough.
They have done a minimal version of this for years.
The problem is that this is another one of those ideas where people believe they can trump the laws of physics.
The last time this was attempted, It failed pretty miserably. There are some serious problems. A power line is an antenna of sorts. You put signals on it, and they are going to radiate outwards from it. And the different frequencies of all the digital data will create a rather broadband hash. It interferes with licensed services. Attempts were made to notch out the frequencies that it used to not have the interference, but intermodulation, the mixing of different frequencies kind of made the notches not do much. The square-like waves of digital signals just make a splattery mess.
Then there is getting it into the house. The concept uses the signals coming in on the house wiring But the signals don't survive goingthrough the transformer that feeds poer to your house. the cure such as it is, is some bypass circuitry that has the signal travelling down high tnesion lines. like a couple KiloVolt, then bypassing the transformer. to your house line. Hopefully the failure mode is always open.
And the real kicker is that just about any radio transmission can knock them out. Kids with hand-talkies, People with CB radios, amateur radio operators, airplaines passing overhead.
Coupled with the fact that it's a "Last Mile" solution, it needs an actual fiber or cable line to get the signal to the BPL lines, the main purpose of BPL is to extract investment money from people who do not understand RF.
It's always sold as a way to get Internet access to people who aren't in a populated area. That part is 100 percent bogus. What would be the point of a last mile solution? They have to run the real line alomst to the house way out in the country.
Wireless still seems like a giant tripartate monopoly to me.
How do you have a "tripartate monopoly"?
You mean like AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, Metro PCS, and the 26 other wireless services that this website allows you to compare? Is "tripartate" a latin word for "31"?
Yeah, not all carriers cover all places, but there's a lot more than 3 in most of the US, and "three" is hardly a monopoly.
>The emergency communication issue is irrelevant because of mobile cell towers.
Remember Puerto Rico? No power whatever - well, almost - everything was out except for extremely limited areas with emergency generators. The American Red Cross asked the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) for help. The ARRL is ham radio. The ARRL was able to send 22 operators that went down to Puerto Rico and relayed health and welfare messages back to the USA.
Those messages came in chiefly on 7.000 - 7.300 megahertz bad, known as 40 meters. Broadband over Power Lines (BPL) of about 10 years ago would clobber the hell out of bands in this area of the spectrum. While there was no BPL or anything else in Puerto Rico to interfere, the USA hams on the other end would not be receiving these 40 meter signals with a power line going "Braaaaaappppp" in the backyard for the purpose of delivering internet signals over a power line.
This is an idea that deserved to die before it was formed. Hopefully this will be shot dead with a bazooka before anyone can deploy it.
Well no, that is not quite accurate, you have to compare it to the alternate. So what is consumed versus what is saved. So the cheapest element, condoms, than there is the whole expensive ritual, going out, car and fuel, restaurant as a very energy expensive food source, maybe dancing or theatre again high consumers of energy, add in the whole gift cycle and that is if things go smooth. When it goes bad, wow, rape and murder, abortion and really toxic relationships of all sorts and the energy wasted in that, police, law courts, prisons, it goes on and on.
So some pron, and quick fiddle with accompanying hormonal adjustment and you are done. That pron of course, well, it's production is less than savoury (quite destructive for the individuals involved but less so that say joining cults like the military industrial complex) but it basically lasts for ever, so does any more even need to be produced? So does online free pron consume more energy than say non-reproductive mutual masturbation and everything associated with it, positive and negative.
Obviously solo masturbation can not replace reproduction, oh wait it can, https://www.mivf.com.au/fertil.... So what's the problem, it's cheap and it's safe, well mostly (excluding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...) and on the whole consumes way less energy than the alternate and causes way less social division.
>what companies like Cox, Charter, and Comcast do.
This is what Cox, Charter, and Comcast.do:
--
already targeted a few areas it thinks it can fix: it doesn't like the years-long contracts, bloated bundles, outdated tech and poor customer service that are staples of TV service in the U.S.
--
Of the eight companies with worst customer service ratings in America, two are major cable companies.
Their *goal* is to provide cable-like TV without becoming a "cable company" like Comcast and Time Warner, companies consumers loathe.
Their "uncarrier" initiative with mobile phones included things like getting rid of the half-dozen extra fees that typical carriers add to your monthly bill. Ever noticed "terms subject to change without notice"? T-Mobile is doing away with that. They are trying to be a different kind of company providing these services. I hope they succeed.
'Cloud services' are the in thing right now, just like we went through outsourcing. Few people in management give a shit about IT, it's an expense. If they can externalize it and not have to deal with as much in house, they will.
So right now I get to bitch and moan that it's a mistake, knowing the only good it does is to let me vent. And if I'm still with the same employer 10-15 years from now, I'll be working on the project to start bringing things back in house because of all the problems cloud services cause us. And I'll get to say, "I was right but nobody listened", and exactly zero people will think anything of it except that I'm an old crank.
Beijing is not "anywhere" else. It's a closed-off totalitarian regime by default. Fuck that equivalence.
So exactly like the US (minus the illusion that the working class have a say in running the country)
Especially so if your skin isn't white or you don't worship the "correct" god
I think you're being too cynical. AWS GovCloud is pretty damn nice:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/govcloud-us/latest/UserGuide/whatis.html
Helped a friend move two web apps used by the state of Washington from their Windows 2000 servers with firewalls that hadn't been touched in over a decade to it. It's most certainly more secure now with revisited firewall (Security Groups in AWS-speak) and ELB (elastic load balancer) in front of the server with no direct access to the Windows servers.
Where there's a will, there's a relative.
