How long is it by car? If the only other option is by plane, I can imagine high speed rail being a good alternative, even if it takes longer than plane. See what long-distance rail looks like in places where it works, like Europe, China, ev

These are excellent opportunities to sit down with the junior engineer and explain how organizations are complex, incomprehensible decisions are often made from a birds eye view with a longer-term view (in good organizations), and that we a

It's not fair to hold up Gates as an example of how things are unequal. He's using his foundation more effectively than most people to research real solutions to hard societal problems. He's one of the rare instances of rich

For working example, see Singapore. That being said automated systems still require maintenance and maintenance engineers could get unionized and still have similar impacts.

Pensions are inherently unsustainable because they guarantee returns. What investor in the world is ever able to guarantee returns, especially at the volume of clients that get served by pensions? It is likelier that the pension: - gets rid

Nike now does regular audits of their factories to ensure compliance of good working condition requirements. They've improved since their factory fiascos in the 90s. Don't think they're perfect, but they seem to be trying. h

I don't think it's worth shopping from China unless you're in China or reselling stuff made in China and have deals directly with the suppliers. A lot of products are cheaper buying from retailers outside of China if you&#x27

Purchasing inside of China, it's different, I think? All the items I bought, I can clearly see what the original price is. I remember last year buying a clotheswasher. Two months after Singles Day, checked the price and confirmed that

Most of these Singles Day sales are likely brandname products, not no-name products. For example, I've purchased several Singles Day items this week. A breadmaker by Panasonic, a noodlemaker by Philips, a vacuum by Midea (a Chinese bra

he basically goes through all the bad parts of a relationships without being able to complain. Isn't that why the service provider gets paid? I believe the service provider knows that this is the deal.

I think that's a funny example because he's on record saying that if you're not rich, it's your own fault. Which is of course absurd, just thought it was a funny coincidence given my question and your reply. https:&#

So I see a lot of comments here about how it's probably mostly middle class and rich kids together. I find it curious that nobody is mentioning the lesser well off. Is the rags to riches dream a fairy tale now?

Is there a transcript of what kind of questions were asked? I can imagine useful information being gleaned by questions like, "what was the nature of the attack, how were people able to get in, what exactly happened here, how did you

I think when you're as big as IBM, you also need to have random people doing random stuff here and there, as who knows when you'd need something special unexpectedly or when you might suddenly have a hot product unexpectedly. As w

Nope, ISP gives us fiber that goes from our PoP in Shenzhen to Guangzhou to Hong Kong (roundabout way because they have no fiber direct from Shenzhen to Hong Kong), and somewhere down the line, it hooks up with the submarine cable. No VPN

I imagine that it's like playing on a professional sports team. If you can't hack it in the NBA, NHL, NFL, etc, you'll know inside of you. Guys that make it to The Show have very little doubt in themselves as to what they&#

I'm not sure about VPNs? As I understand, it's corporate lines to overseas that's allowed. That's what we use, we lease bandwidth on a major submarine cable that goes to California and sign a contract that says we won&#x

Being in China now, I can say that just because it works doesn't mean that it's great. I think the government has demonstrated multiple times that they can block and throttle VPN connections at the flick of a switch. If one works,

I was curious, so I searched a bit. No mention of stripe at all within the past 372 days of your comments. Mind sharing now that you've piqued my interest?

Journalists creating a new service wouldn't have an impact on whether your feed has politics. Only Facebook and your Facebook friends can influence that.

Thanks, it's right there in the text, clear as day. :) Note that our attacks do not recover the password of the Wi-Fi network. They also do not recover (any parts of) the fresh encryption key that is negotiated during the 4-way hands

Yes, but stupid question. If Radius is being used, there's no way to successfully impersonate the AP and have the victim accidentally try to join it because the AP won't be able to authenticate the WPA2-Enterprise credentials? T

This article makes it pretty clear that if the Kindle doesn't emit light, it's ok. The experiment was done with an iPad. Kindles were designed with this issue in mind, so I think posting the article in this manner is misleading.

I'd say that has more to do with societal norms and biases, not political strategy.
