Hahahahaha.

"Computer science went from a future-proof career to an industry in upheaval in a shockingly small amount of time."

This is basically 2001 prior to 9/11 again. Even the Slashdot comments could be substituted. I must be getting old.

Sucks to be graduating right now.

Everyone knows that regulation are burdensome and a net drain on the economy. If people cannot trust their banks, it just means they will live with the consequences of their decisions. Weak men who cannot calculate risk should not have money anyways. I for one look forward to a return of wildcat banks, massive fraud, and increased market panics.

The Tory government policies are very unfortunate, pigheadedly ignoring basic math and reasoning. Backdoors do not work.

Several issues come to mind. Where is the City in this? I can't imagine all the financial infrastructure in the UK will be happy about weaker controls over security. What would Lloyds or Coutts say regarding government mandated backdoors?

UK has set a stronger policy of government support of the private sector with cybersecurity as well. They would be giving that up. NCSC and other governmental organizations and regulators have been remarkably effective at promoting a new path forward for the British economy. This places all their good work in jeopardy.

I must expect Labour will make hay of this as well. The Tories will be destroying good jobs. Britain cannot afford many more tech positions or firms leaving for the US or Canada.

I logged in after more than a decade to say this:

MLK didn't write the Constitution.

Good thing the guy who wants to eliminate the Constitution just admitted it on a public forum for all to see, so our Armed Forces know who the threat is.

From TFA:

Reps. Tom Emmer (MN), Warren Davidson (OH), Byron Donalds (FL), and Ted Budd (NC) from the Republican side of the aisle;

Reps. Josh Gottheimer (NJ), Jake Auchincloss (MA), Ritchie Torres (NY), and Darren Soto (FL) for the Democrats

Most don't use headphones at all with their cellphones.

"It's not a conspiracy theory" -Dude claiming 9/11 was a controlled demolition

Alright grandpa let's get you back to The Villages and set parental controls on your tv to block tucker carlson.

Doesn't everyone just have a collection of apps you need and stick to those? I can't even remember when I bought an App. Even free apps only get downloaded when absolutely needed.

The right to abortion is a downstream right of bodily autonomy, granted by the constitution under the word "liberty". It's right there in the preamble, not even an amendment. You don't have to get deep into the document to find it.

You have a right, as a citizen, to do what you want with your body, so long as it doesn't violate the rights of another citizen. The unborn are not citizens. They're not even people, as they have no long term memory capability or ability of rational thought.

It's pretty clear. It's the same reason you can't be forced to donate a kidney even though you have two, even to save the life of the President.

I guess I'm just real confused as to why you think it's not covered by the constitution. Do you really believe the only rights granted by the constitution are those specifically named? Because, oh buddy, you'd have a real bad time if that were truly the case.

Indeed, that is why anyone with a clue wouldn't make important (hell, any... ) devices on a Cloud Service. I, and I hope nobody with a clue, wouldn't accept a firewall that is cloud dependent.

Mine beeps but also gives me an estimate for the time needed. That is useful. I just set an alert on my phone based on that time. Not hard.

Amazon Prime also allows you to download the content. (At least on a phone/tablet you can, I don't know for computers. Probably not.)

Getting a chip made IS the big hurdle. Soldering the chip is trivial by comparison.
