Alright, your response is a lot clearer now. However, this is how it currently is with NERC CIP, so I fail to see how having legislation that facilitates more manual devices really solves anything.

X-ray data isn't as identifying as facial recognition. And quite honestly, you're so concerned about this, you've already lost the war since everywhere you walk, you're bound to be caught by a camera. You need real legis

All of which 95% of those edge cases are most likely programmed leading to saving humans countless times in the most situations to the point they don't even realize it. Why do you think flying is so safe? It's because of automatio

Lets take my example and say you had a recloser that is stuck, but could be fixed by sending a command that would perform a manual close. Or maybe, you wanted to set the time threshold for the closing. a) Would you send a lineman out to the

There would be no way to do reporting on any of the devices in the field without some form of network connection. This delays response time if, for example, a recloser failed to operate, nobody would be aware unless someone physically check

I think this is just the opposite extreme. I've literally seen people copy and paste code that they didn't fully understand and it ended up working. In fact, one of the senior devs where I work added a piece of code with the speci

I agree with this 100%. My last job was precisely described in your last paragraph. I loathed asking for help from a senior dev I was working with because every time I did, she made it very clear how much of a nuisance I was being. She even

You'd be surprised how many companies have a sink or swim mentality. Many people are just in it for themselves and don't really want to help others, or they just aren't cognizant enough of their surroundings to bother to offe

I honestly think the China IP rip off is overblown, and this is coming from someone who works there often. Also, if open source software has demonstrated, sequestering IP behind patents is a hindrance to society. And your critique about civ

Because banks are insured by the government per FDIC, companies aren't. That's just one example I know of off the top of my head and probably hundreds more I don't know. Facebook is not just any company either. It holds world

The upsetting part, to me anyway, is not that it uses blockchain. It's because: a) not a true crypto-currency because it's centralized b) such currencies are not regulated yet in the slightest c) the centralized authority is a con

I've frequented China quite a lot the past year. They usually have people that clean the streets regularly as part of their job. They often hall two wheel carts around to carry their equipment and large brush that has fallen from trees

This is nuts. How would you be able to refer to anything meaningful in the future? That's one of the benefits of notes. I was relatively at the top of my classes and I never did this.

Here is the important thing to understand about the Libra Association: while its members — who again, are the validators — do control the Libra protocol, Facebook does not control the validators. Which, by extension, means that Facebook wi

There's no white collar job that I know of that doesn't require a lot of sitting. Even if it isn't programming, office jobs require you to sit a lot since almost everything is done by computer. The key is to take regular bre

I just got started with postgres and have hated the procedure syntax so much that I've begged my manager to go to MSSQL or upgrade to the latest database version (I'm currently on 9.3). And fortunately, the database is small enoug

You'd be very surprised then at how fast some people at companies bang out code with very little understanding of the problem, get it done fast, and look like heroes because it works. They then build up an expectation of getting things

As someone has already stated, they recycle these notes as well. Even though they're plastic, they won't last forever. It doesn't help they're high denomination and therefore less used, but I wouldn't be surprised t

The humorous thing is Microsoft doesn't think debugging should be allowed in their latest SQL Server Management Studio release. Imagine trying to debug SQL stored procedures without it. While I agree SQL stored procedures should be sli

Once they correct the mistake, those notes will be worth a fortune to collectors in a couple decades. Collectors love errors. And since the history is well documented online you get a bonus of free provenance.

Even worse, could you maybe leave your room and go get a coffee? It literally would've taken you the same amount of time if you did just that depending on how close the coffee place is, and I would guess it isn't far.

HIBP shouldn't be for profit because it's harvesting personal data and it should be used as a mechanism for people to be aware of serious breaches. There's a lot of legal entanglement possible with this with HIPAA being an ex

Your argument is self contradictory because you seem to make an exclusion for Troy's fallibility by pointing to my same argument about the fallibility of others. There's no reason other than you think Troy is some super human. Tro

Yet Troy uses all these companies to formulate his entire operation. What do you think he uses to verify whether the pastebin files are malicious or not? You think he wrote his own malware detection software?

This isn't, by no means, a belittlement against Troy Hunt, but here are some things to consider: What makes Troy Hunt any more trustworthy? Do you think he can't make a mistake? What if his operation suddenly can't handle som

This is basically anti-tax rhetoric. I don't think there's a single thing in the world that everyone would willfully agree to spend their money on. Which is kind of why taxes exist in the first place.

Not to be a Debby downer, but these posts always make me think of how many people just did this for a fad instead of meaningfully contributing. I almost think, why can't we just keep donating over and over, without the fad, at a lesser
