Er, read the article. It links this , where the AWS speaker explicitly mentions it's use for law enforcement. https://youtu.be/sUzuJc-xBEE

Yeah - it's basically a PCIe KVM over ethernet.

EA is largely hosted and managed by rackspace, who, for years, had default passwords on their iLOs - with public IPs. ;)

I'm very curious how you plan to explain this to non technical folk in a way that they'll actually care enough to slough through any of that. Blech.

How did you get that impression? If it's because of "black-white achievement gap": https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/subject/studies/pdf/sc...

This is pretty great. After banging my head over the weird state of python + GIS for the past month and a half, this feels very welcome. Also, is it down for anyone else? As soon as I tried uploading a file, it became unresponsive..

I moved into an overpriced shithole apartment at 19 while working at a NOC in the city. Before moving out, I was doing a 5hr/day commute and paid rent to my parents. Pretty sure I'm one of the people you're talking about. Are

Um. Can't the same be said about college? As someone who comes from a poor family, couldn't afford college, and went the mentor-with-free-work route instead, your comment is particularly and hilariously myopic. :)

Now explain that in a time-constrained debate.

"Very likely".. So are you agreeing that some things don't have a "shortest logical description"? That leaves a lot to interpretation ;).

I'm actually happy with this, having taken around five >24hr Amtrak trips over the past few years. The dining car is pretty great overall, but the announcements for it get really, really grating really quickly. Because all announcem

God dammit. An almost identical thing happened to me after submitting a public records request to Seattle's IT department for email metadata for January 2017. Instead of sending me the email metadata I requested, they ended up acciden

I had an interview once with a company that essentially wrote tracking libraries for Starbucks's app. Everything you mentioned in your post is pretty much exactly what the app did. Their nonchalance around their extent of tracking was

Good. The stigma around bipolar is absolute hell for those of us who have it. Having rational and largely unemotional conversations about it with friends, family and co-workers is a near constant struggle, when even possible. Just mentionin

The problem with this idea is that it ignores the suffering of others. Not to say that we should all invest our entirety into helping others, but this sort of thinking puts those interested in helping others into a weird exclusionary positi

Could you expand on why it makes you anxious and depressed?

Hah, I wrote something very, very similar to this recently. The problem I eventually had with it was that lsof wasn't always installed on the hosts I was working with. So, it turned into a script to parse through /proc and other n

And I disagree with your characterization. Selling people shit isn't the bulk of the problem like you say - it's everything that surrounds it. I'm not sure why you don't think of it as a major issue, but I hope that so

He said one of the most important issues. No need to be on such a strong defense for that.

It removes numbers from a log file, sorts it, groups and counts unique lines, then sorts numerically by the count of each unique line. But don't take my word for it. Try it yourself!

One of the ways that I do this (assuming you have access to unix utilities) is to do: cat output.log | tr -d '[0-9]' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n This is a fairly useful way of removing relatively useless information such as

.....what? Either you're incredibly sheltered, you've never left a large city, or you're a troll. That doesn't match any reality that I know of.

Must be nice to have the freedom of disposable income.

Your question is very myopically mid/large city centric. Think of it in the context of someone without a smartphone or money - particularly low income neighborhoods.

It was in the article you posted at the end. /shrug. If your threat model includes state actors, then Tor's current shortcomings are non-trivial and should be treated as such.
