What's the alternative? To authenticate against our FB account? I'd much rather have a distributed system than to be forced to maintain a FB account just to login.

Symform is the company that did this and I loved their model. Sadly, they went out of business. The idea of backing up your data across 38 peers, encrypted, instead of a central cloud storage service was enticing. Especially nice was that y

I'm an IT professional and this is a work machine for me. Looking at it that way, for what it does, it's worth every penny. For a casual home user? No, I would never recommend a Surface Pro.

Highway rest areas in CT have EV spots for charging. I see normal ICE parked there all the time. It's infuriating

Not sure how it works in the UK, but here in the US there's a difference between "conservatives" and "Republicans". The key being that Republicans love big government when it's them in charge of it whereas cons

Your severance package is dependent on your training your replacement. We're talking months worth of pay which is nothing to sneeze at since you have nothing to gain from walking away from that severance.

You're ignoring the difference between playing in the living room (using a RetroPi) vs PC. Two very different experiences.

Once I got older, and especially once my employer was footing the bill, I'd much rather have the comfort and privacy of a hotel room. Hostels are more for when you're in your 20's and exploring the world on a budget.

3) You'll have an army of pissed off cops who will try to find something to charge you with, like aiding and abetting or some other tertiary charge. And then you can HOPE a prosecutor doesn't try to make an example out of you by t

While it's a smart move not to disclose your prior salary during negotiations, I really don't want there to be legal implications for the back and forth during this process. It's great in theory, but micromanaging businesses

What you describe is smoke testing. However, taking money and not having a product is considered fraud in the US. The way you get around this is that on the final confirmation page where you would normally take payment details you instead s

What you're referring to are called "80% lowers" and they're the part of an AR-15 rifle that contain the serial number. AR-15s come in a lot of parts, so the "lower" is considered the actual gun that has a seri

Not if you run it on an ARM system sadly.

I feel like the author left out a giant caveat: there's a difference between going through CBP as a US citizen and as a non-citizen. Non-citizens can be bounced back home whereas, as I understand it, they HAVE to allow a US citizen bac

That's a big one. How do you sell a computer in an enterprise or institutional environment and not allow that.

It should be cheaper than giving full desktops/laptops to students. After all, it consolidates all the computer power. The pendulum is swinging back to mainframes. Have 1 server for all the students and spin up VMs or a single Linux in

Anti-immigrant nationalism is counterproductive. That being said, I've asked some Trump supporters over the election about immigration. The general feeling was that legal immigration is fine, it's the line jumpers they see as viol

It becomes a problem when people subscribe to the "punch a Nazi" theme and then label all Trump supporters as Nazis. It's an 'end justifies the means' mentality which is troubling.

For something that authenticates you for 2 factor, I'd pay a lot more. After all, this is your key you use daily for the services you live off of. The value is a no brainer.

You only plug it in when logging in.

You can compromise software on a PC. You can't do that, as much, with a hardware key used for 2 factor authentication.

This isn't something you should leave plugged in. It's a key after all used for authentication. Keep it on your keychain or in your wallet and plug in as needed.

Reminds me of the "buying locally grown food" argument that's premised on the assumption that buying locally grown food requires less carbon emissions because the food doesn't have to be transported from far away. HOWEVE

That still leaves sysadmins that you no longer need when using the cloud. The cloud allows your developers to run free without the need for infrastructure and sys admin teams to worry about the servers.

My experience with "pounding the pavement" at IT conferences has been the same. I'm there to network and learn, but also to make acquaintances and friends. People there tend to be less social than ones at hobby related meetup
