New mac mini let's see TB3 to 10-gig-e $199

I frequently need Ethernet for the infrastructure part of my work. Fortunately, I have a real laptop (Thinkpad X-series), not a Crapple (cripple?) toy.

While this sounds nice in theory, in practice it is very hard to implement in a way that works and doesn't just hinder work. The people who administer the whitelist are not going to know what is needed for every job function. Nor will they have the capacity to monitor every whitelisted object to ensure that it remains safe. (One of the whitelisted sites might start serving ads proxied through their server - ads which aren't safe.)
And for the users, requesting sites being added to a whitelist as needed can delay entire teams for days on end. What do you mean, we cannot download the schematics for the microcontroller we just discovered a problem with until it's added to a whitelist? And when it delays a high level manager who needs to look at a web site of a potentially new supplier or customer, the whitelist system will be gone.

You kind of lost me there. I read up about QAnon on Wikipedia the other day and they're just another wacky fringe right wing conspiracy group.

Strawman augment is strawman. But thanks for trusting my words and intentionally missing the point.

They are working on writing them up. But it's slow going on that damned keyboard.

Actually, consider an alternative:

Municipal broadband service might be well described as a 'lifeline'-like service, intended to be lowest cost, minimum necessary, to provide access to government services, universally required services such as job search, bill payment, enrollments, etc. It may not be intended to, nor even provide, access to a variety of services or sources. If this is disclosed, is it a problem?

Disclosure would be the first step.

So would LinkNYC be deficient if it did not provide access to pornography? Or games? Or would it be efficient? And if kiosks were relatively public, would pornography be a tolerable use, since it might, possibly, offend some casual observers? Should LinkNYC spend more money on privacy filters and such?

Of course, when we move on from pron and consider access to news, information, and opinion sources, we get into significantly less obvious use cases. But I, sadly, know people who are just as offended by seeing certain 'news' and opinion sources as they are seeing pron, even by accident, and they plainly tell me that these need to be kept off of municipal broadband systems.

Not simple, but worthy of discussion.

Now that the anti-smoke activists have convinced the world that tobacco smoke is terrible and have caused it to be outlawed in many places, they are starting to realize that having smoking "turn the corner" is not necessarily a good thing for them. The whole purpose of many NGOs and health organizations has been focused only on smoking. Now that they have won this war, their purpose and livelihood is in question. To survive, they need to find a new cause so that the money keeps rolling in for them. Air pollution is an excellent choice, as it is widespread, tightly linked to economic activity everywhere and endemic around the world. And, it will probably never go away.

They're here to let us know just how firmly they will cling to the past. It's not the message they intended to send, but it's the message we need to get.

I use my MBP for work and I find no reason to use a dongle to the point where it would become something I would endlessly complain about.

What are you guys doing that requires regular use of dongles to get your jobs done?

As if proving stop lights are often times green says we can be sure that brake lights on motorcycles are red.

Proving one theory though experimental evidence does not mean we have or can prove an unrelated theory too.

"According to Darwin Humanity Has Wiped Out 60% of Unsuccessful Animal Populations Since 1970"


TFTFY

Seems like they need Molten Salt reactors, and didn't India recently accomplish getting power to huge amounts of people? I know not everyone, but still. I think many could run heat off of electric, especially if it was cheap nuclear. Same with most of the developed world.

"Investigators recommended that USGS enforce a “strong blacklist policy” of known unauthorized websites and “regularly monitor employee web usage history.”

WHITELIST FFS. Not perfect but infinity better than a blacklist, also know as wack-a-mole.

If Google has a 'no sex between employees' or 'no sex between direct reports' policy, then the dismissal was perfectly justifiable. What I have a problem with was calling the BJ 'coerced'. At some point, when you're having a sexual affair with someone, and you meet them in a hotel room, if you blow them without being physically forced to, the reasons for that specific BJ fall into a gray area - where coercion may or may not have something to do with it.

There are many possible explanations for why the woman in question didn't just say no and "it's over, Andy". One of which would involve potential harm to her career - which, face it, may come in the form of loss of any advantage her career gained by fucking the boss. None of this says that Rubin isn't a schmuck - and in violation of company policy. It does not, however, automatically make him a rapist. Maybe 'coercion' is not being used in this case to imply any kind of forced sex, but it sure sounds like it's meant that way.

Look on the bright side: It is made of 100 percent recycled aluminum now!

Neither. You have to be a useful idiot to believe any corporate PR.

Sadly there isn't one. Literally all the tech journalists we follow have mentioned their displeasure over the keyboard.

I would have thought the inept hater that wrote the summary would have been stoked it still had a real Esc key. But I guess Haters gotta Hate.

Nothing says present like pick out your own stuff on a shared income and then opening it.

You neglected the part where I mentioned differences in efficiencies.

I never mentioned passenger cars.

it's a horrible substitute. All of the tar and carcinogens with none of the drug which kept me addicted for so many years.

Yes, an earlier version of the story mentioned the screen resolution of the older generation MacBook Air. We regret it. We do not know the exact resolution of the new MacBook Air's display. What we know so far is that it is has a Retina display. We will update the story when Apple's official website adds tech specs of the new devices they are announcing today.

Why are they still pushing that POS keyboard? Is it not bad enough that they can't make a mouse to save their lives, but now they have to ruin keyboards too?

That thing is an ergonomic nightmare.

Or you could just ask her what she would want?

now if there are stuck on some old IE ActiveX software then users may admin to get work done.

It's referring to biodiversity. You won't see much speciation in 5-10 years.

" I have never heard of an instance where the city tried to exert any control over the content of the network, they just provide the pipe."

It doesn't matter if they are doing it, the question is whether they can. Also, you wouldn't likely know. How often did you see the NSA interference before Snowden leaked it?

You can get up to 16 GB of RAM, a need to carry multiple dongles, and an unreliable keyboard for only well over $1200!

This is the same state whose refused to pay for the Talgo trains they agreed to have built for Amtrak lines in their state. Depending on whom you ask it was either for purely political reasons, financial reasons, both, or neither.

The completed trains were never paid for per prior agreement with the State of Wisconsin. They have been sitting, ready-to-use, waiting for a buyer for years now.

Wisconsin thinks they can reneg without negative consequences to them because Talgo is not an American company.

If I'm a business that doesn't get the same tax breaks, you bet I'm going to view that as if the government was writing a check to my competitor.

In other words, you have no logical refutation of what I said, just some words to put in my mouth drawn from your own bias.
