10x the cost!? Well, I have a quote from your competitor that's a fraction of that amount. If you keep quoting unreasonable prices, perhaps I should rethink our business relationship and move elsewhere.

I'm not sure where you're getting the "legal responsibility" part from - I'm not advocating legislation, simply stating my personal preferences as a consumer. I do what I can to try and bring others to my point of v

On second thought, it doesn't. I just wanted a easy way to distinguish complex IoT devices from simpler ones.

If the washing machine was internet connected, then yes. If not, I'd still like the JTAG interface intact. Now, _will_ I do that? Probably not, but my opinion is that as the owner of the device, I should have the ability to do so if I

Not necessarily. If TPMs/Trusted Execution Cores come into play, Microsoft can ensure that only trusted software can understand server communications. Most modern systems already have the hardware for this, as it is required for Secure

I use multiplatform Kotlin to compile shared business logic to JVM and Javascript. The frontend then uses Typescript+React/Redux while the backend is a Kotlin Spring app with Postgres.

The linked article mentions: "Comcast, when contacted prior to publication, did not comment." However, when I go on the activation page, it prompts for either a Comcast login or SMS verification, so this may have been fixed.

In addition, his disposition for avoiding ads likely means he is running ad blocking, and thus already minimizing his ad exposure. This presents a less crowded field where any ads he does see may have a larger impact on his buying behavior.

Regarding your CDN suggestion, that is already effectively the case if the library is hosted on a CDN. Creating a hybrid baked-in/CDN solution is only going to complicate the situation with little to no improvement. However, it would b

Is there public documentation for the differences between the CE and EE editions? The website mentions that EE "provides improved performance and security for production deployments". What types of performance and security optimiz

As someone who has never used an iPhone and has always stayed within the Android ecosystem, I doubt any device on the Android market can compete with what Apple has in terms of security and privacy at the moment.

Accountants, lawyers, and doctors all have associations who set professional standards they must abide by. They often also owe you a higher duty of care than someone in i.e. marketing or sales. I still see where op is going, but accountants

It'd expect someone to eventually submit such a patch, though I don't know how urgent this issue is. Iptables isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so Cloudflare can continue to use this method on the edge nodes.

The key issue is one of control. I don't mind having an automatic update system, so long as there is some way of telling the os "I know what I'm doing - let me handle this". In a similar vein, updates should respect expl

It's very interesting to see how little Gmail accounts fetch for, considering what other access can be chained from that. Is this low figure driven by Gmail's additional security, or is this just due to the high rate of fake/

Opps, I believe you are correct. I haven't reviewed the proposal in detail, but are they planning to standardize the event generation side of things? (the parts exposed to running Java applications)?

It looks like the only major change today was a move from "Submitted" to "Candidate". This is a good step forward, but it's still far from standardization.

Are you able to talk a bit about your server-side Javascript setup? What was your decision making process for using something other than Node? How does the ecosystem of libraries and supporting infrastructure look like?

It is very much a matter of perspective. Arch is more than stable enough for personal use, but is highly unstable in the context of enterprise servers, especially compared with the likes of Debian and RHEL.

In that case, I agree with you that outsourcing is a good way to go. However, it should be stressed that the "core business" needs to be the core revenue generating portion of the business. I don't care if your company is ded

When building an advertising platform that can potentially compete with Google, it's best to not put your entire revenue stream under the control of Google.

The issue on the Java side is more one of compatibility than technical feasibility. IDEA and Eclipse have been able to infer potential null issues for a while now, but it's difficult to retrofit those features into a compiler that must

Has anyone tried the Spectre PoC in the paper on ThreadRipper? I can confirm it works on my i7-7700K.

It's more likely we'll see a reduction in benefits like company health insurance or bonuses to offset a rise in salary. It won't get you from 60k to 100k, but I can see how one might squeeze out 15-20k from this.

Anonymous testimonials aren't worth the screen space they take up, especially coupled with the pathetic list of customers on the website.

Indeed. Programming languages are a buyer's market. Sure, you can feel free to do whatever you want with your own language - just don't expect people to take it seriously.

Some questions: * I see many claims of "cross-platform", but not a lot of substance to back it up. The FAQ is odd as well - it makes many claims that are simply not true. * Given that you chose to keep the source closed, what gua

A limited version already exists. Some RAID systems will enter a read-only mode if the array falls below a configured threshold of redundancy.
