Disabled code is still an attack surface, sadly - and the false sense of security might make it a net negative. A different os build would be better. Sadly, the biggest surface, aside from the users themselves, is likely still the web brows

Security is very hard in companies driven by marketing. Even if "security" is a feature being marketed. Having security by design means moving much slower, having code reviews done by paranoiacs who care not one bit about features

I think USSR fans generally dont care about safety. Its assumed there will be casaulties, the end justifies the means. One needs to either spend some time in Russia, or know Russians well to appreciate how much this influences everyday life

Well, no. In the end they backed my reco and we didnt go IBM. I feel like I did inconvenience my managers though, and indeed left not long afterwards for a better job.

Funny, similar thing happened to me. IBM along a few other behemots pitched for a serious project at a company I worked for as enterprise arch. All companies brought their top salespeople, and all tried nasty things, but IBM was by far th

Likely. Your body won't get the euphoric rush from alcohol, so I thinik it will prevent it from functioning as anxiety medication. Its works on low hardware level, so to speak, and should nullify any positive effects from alcohol on th

According to the sinclair method, the shot is only good if you do drink every day. Otherwise, the pill is better. Take it if you plan to drink, and dont take it otherwise. As another poster has said, its easy to "overshoot". For m

There has been research into using it to fight gambling and binge eating addictions (with some moderate success in both cases). I'd guess it will work better for addictions which are associated with the state of euphoria, and less so o

For those struggling with alcohol - I can recommend the Sinclair Method. The idea is to take an opioid antagonist, naltrexone, before drinking -- this helps reset the association between drinking and pleasure, since drinking on naltrexone i

In Europe, disk swapping via snail mail was very popular in late 1980s and early 1990s, back when available bbs/dialup connections were effectively slower than mailing a few floppies. I still remember that for every floppy packed with

I agree. But its a hard sell to management types. Especially that those systems can usually be "proven to work" because they succeed in millions of cases a day.

That sounds like a great setup. I switched to a Nikon with a 40mpx sensor and their new mirrorless lenses are crazy sharp, even the cheap ones. I have all they have released and it seems even the kit lenses are sensor limited. Incidentally,

Completely agree, I am not saying its a bad thing. I do care for resolution in landscape photography, where I need to crop, and a modern high end lens+sensor lends itself to this usage pattern well. For portraits, I think less resolution is

Yup. And those guys will get bonus points for actively evading detection. IANAL, but its one thing to use an open api and claim ignorance, and quite another to intentionally defeat access restrictions/rate limits. Stupid thing to do.

Yeah, and doing this client side, and with the code open sourced? "Achievement unlocked".

I think they will look for a legal solution. I doubt they will change the API; my guess it it exists to support some other services google sells -- and adding heuristics to detect freeloaders may impact legitimate customers. Nope, they will

This can't work for long. Translate is a profit center for google, and this also shows others that they can disregard google's monetization model for translate. Commercial use of those APIs is common, despite translate being prett

You also lose resolution. Those old lenses render cool looking, but somewhat blurred images on modern high res sensors.
