This is really great and fantastic info

I didn't have a 2 TB file to give away but after all the activity the previous day (Friday), I made sure the URLs they were after would give them only a "403" response instead of the usual "404", just to make a point. There were only a few isolated probes after about 1230 UTC Saturday. I wonder if the attacks continued on other sites after they ended on mine.

What exactly made you think this teen was a white hat? It's not like he contacted AOL support again to tell them how bad their phone support staff were and helped them fix their broken training processes.

Arguably it was Clinton's fault for running one of the most incompetent campaigns I can remember. Not courting the Bernie supporters and addressing the issues they were concerned about and just demanding they fall in line was part of it. Though really she lost because she completely ignored the middle part of the country and basically let Trump have it.

Left = right = center = authoritarian financialist.

Get over this stupidity, man.

Pro Tip : Read the summary.

Lick those boots!

I was referring to the pack balancing circuitry. Why would that be useless on a bicycle?

That's what I've been doing. I got scripts all over the planet mining Bitcoins since 1988.

I was running drupal and got hit by a monero miner so I scrapped Drupal and php.

I see this problem as something rooted in php.

I did a small analysis of what had happened and the exploit created a miner executable file in /tmp that was then moved to /dev/shm and executed there by some action. It had been active for just a few hours as a non-privileged process, so no big deal.

That was probably Prince's fault.

If they're hitting the same URL, just make sure the URL refers to a 2TB random file.

Or you could start whitelisting/blacklisting or banning IP's trying to access resources that shouldn't be accessed.

That's high-stakes science. If you don't get it right first time, you're gonna do a lot of harm to a lot of people. I can't think of anything that's higher-stakes than medicine.

So if they can modernize the coal stations so that they don't emit carbon soot that would be a good thing. There are systems to scrub and collect all those gases and pollutants. Same with nuclear power. The old slashdot joke states that the nuclear industry wanted to decommission old plants and build new ones. The environmentalists wanted no more new plants and to decommission the old ones. So they compromised. Keep the old plants running and don't build any new plants.

Your argument is specious. You are setting a standard that is impossible to meet and is radically different then the way scientific results are judged.

Science is based on testable theories that are repeatably verified. An accepted theory is superseded when it fails a test and a new theory is proposed that passes all the previous tests plus the new tests. The old theory isn't wrong, because it was verified up to the point it failed. It was replaced by something better.

This is exactly the case with Newtonian gravity vs Einsteinian gravity. Newton's description is all that is needed until the realm of relativity is encountered. That's why the only item you use that requires Einsteinian effects is GPS.

Your position can be re-framed to support the flat earth theory: a flat earth can't be ruled out because the edge hasn't been found yet.

So essentially making a cartoon of a public figure is akin to rape now?

They tried that in the past. AI Researchers sat down with doctors and thought it was a yes/no branch tree all the way down. Then they realized that the doctors were doing something a bit more complex when they started saying things like "well, there's a good chance it might be .... but then the patient has been out in this region where there is this parasite ..... so it could be .... " So they factored in probabilities and got fuzzy logic which was a bit more accurate. But then they also have to factor in family history, personal diet, weight, height, body-mass ratio, persons in contact, foods eaten recently, weight gain/loss, any food cravings, feeling hot, itchy, sick, hungry or not hungry. Skin conditions are easy. They can be matched with photographs.

They can't even diagnose sepsis or meningitis in many cases, even though there are simple tests; meningitis requires a sample of spinal fluid. Sepsis just needs a glass pressed against a rash. There are blood tests, but these need to be specified precisely. If someone has a blister and it gets infected, then turns black, is that Bubonic plague, cancer or some other condition.

I'm interested in what the US does well and does badly but you are apparently a poor source of info on the topic. In your ill-informed harangue you offered Vietnam as an example. I corrected you with the facts. The facts that Vietnam recently celebrated the 20 year old normalization of relations with the US and that it is strengthening its defense and other ties with the US. I could have similarly debunked various other claims you made but this one example was sufficient to demonstrate to other readers you are till-informed on the topic of the derision of america and/or politically biased. Either way a poor source of info. The individual you were originally replying to may have warranted derision, so may the current occupant of the white house, but america in general is not derided as you suggest. Vietnam an example of your error on the derision of america in general.

Some links would be helpful. Just for research purposes, you see. I think it would be useful to verify these claims, um, first hand.

Do you not see that to prove that Democrats are not the ones beating the drums of war against Russia you are using "Russian" as an insult to act out against someone accusing Democrats of something? You are proving what I claimed: that Democrats are driving the narrative that only a Russian would be against Democrats. This is a Big Lie about having just perpetrated a Big Lie. I hope you are just having fun with it. Because if you actually have enough IQ points to learn how to type and you still don't see the irony of what you are doing... if you actually believe what you are spewing... damn, that's just another proof of what I've been saying for along time. Eloquent (even mildly eloquent like you) idiots are more dangerous than in-eloquent enemies.

And the point of Open Core is to release internals of your product as Open Source to appear more open and maybe to get people to serve as your unpaid employees while making sure you don't release enough code to be useful outside of your product and to limit contributions that attempt to re-implement those parts.

See Open Darwin as a successful example.

Natural gas was called that long before "natural" came to mean "good" to hippies.

It's called that because it is, well, naturally occurring and seeps out of the ground in gaseous form. The Chinese were capturing it and piping it around for heating stuff up in 500 BC.

It's also a fossil fuel. Virtually all fossil fuels are naturally occurring.

Nah, the shorts will first try to claim it's a burst rate. After a few weeks they'll start switching their attacks to "Tesla can't be profitable." Once Tesla turns a profit they'll switch it to "It's a one-time thing, but doom is just around the corner. DOOOOM!!!"

Apparently you stopped reading before "the short selling thesis is fatally flawed because of numerous wrong assumptions"

Gee, I can't imagine why owners would want to collect data to determine how long they can expect their batteries to last. It's just beyond comprehension.
