Ah. A libertarian. Being an employee is strictly better because you are protected many ways. You get workers comp for on the job injuries, overtime law, OSHA compliance, unemployment compensation, along with not paying the employers'

Correct. Freelance sites' negotiation shows that there is due consideration and discussion, along with a meeting of the minds. oDesk isn't selling you out to X company and saying if you don't, they're going to lower your

I'm glad. The "Sharing Economy" does one thing and does it well: It privatizes wealth while socializes risk. And the risk to the employee is always covered up or misdirected. With Uber, the big cost is insurance. However they

Nope. You just flipped one of your caveats: no internet connectivity. I only specified networking. Its also how Target was attacked. Their registers are networked yet there was a hole from the internet to their corporate net. That hole wa

As in there were 0-day exploits that have not been, and will never be patched.

by kefka 11y ago
Keep telling yourself that. There are unpatched 0-days that go back years that still make WinXP dangerous to have on any sort of network. Not only that, but they will never be fixed. Nor can you fix them yourself (no source code). And yes,

That's perfectly fine if you're still using VGA. It's analog and does leak quite a bit of data. But what about DVI-D and HDMI? Surely they leak less power and even less signal.

by kefka 11y ago
1. That connector size appears to be a DVI connector. How does TMDS affect data transmission via TEMPEST leakage? 2a. Would HDMI render this attack void, due to encryption on the data signal layer? 2b. Since the HDMI master keys are known,

Please don't think I'm criticizing on your choice of monetization. Making money to continue doing what you like is a pretty big cornerstone here at HN :) I was more curious what you were charging for. Also, you're being discu

As many have already discussed that this is akin to a URL shortener, and not stand alone (like QR is ), I have a different question. Your app has in-app-purchases. Please provide examples how you are monetizing this? Also, I notice you use

Doesn't the business have a right to keep track of its clientèle? Obvious legalities of underage-ness of a pub aside, I already can hire counters that watch the security feed and assess numbers. And also, CCTV isn't open to the pu

The problems are "error". Anything else may be a root cause, which can range from failing hard drives, CPU failure, memory failure, NIC failure, rat chewing on cables, or plenty of other modes. I would say that we don't care

I think the machine learning aspect is the wrong choice here. I'm seeing another glaring answer, and one that can be done fairly quickly: Integral analysis. The servers that have error accumulation aren't always the ones highest i

> The site is rather vague. They provide the hardware and install it for free, which implies they're selling data to someone else. Who? There's no privacy policy. No terms of service. The "order" button just brings up

Slippery slope? Humans already can do classification. Should we ban humans from identifying and counting other humans? I can hire 2 guards who can remember people by taking a photo. And then I can have them recall who shows up. With people.

Ok. So businesses already have cameras. Yeah, privacy, schmiravacy. That horse has done gone left the barn. So, the second problem with cameras/face tracking is cost? I wrote this: https://github.com/jwcrawley/uWho

Not particularly surprising. Feminists in a general sense are usually pretty bad people. They espouse their gender over masculine and other genders. It is akin to saying that the Black Panthers are good, when the KKK is bad. They're bo

No. It was thanks to the ISPs dumping NNTP servers. Back in the dialup days, they had NNTP servers available, pulling nearly all the NGs. As time went by, alt.binaries took over 99% of the bandwidth, along with a nice cornucopia of pirated

There were techniques we were working on prior to the ISPs neglecting them. One such technique was a crypto method, similar to what has been recommended in reducing spam in emails. The client has to do some lengthy crypto transform for the

There's lots of easy avenues to attack this. 1. Look for user's Youtube, Facebook, and other social media for photos/video 2. Videochat and record them. 3. Find them IRL and record them. 4. Print a mask of that person, and le

Usenet died because the ISPs no longer offer newsgroup access. Back in the dialup days, services like this were standard, and they made the internet truly awesome. Once high speed (DSL, cable) took over they axed all Usenet servers. Unless

You mean "Bring back Usenet". Because that is what Reddit is serving, as well as the previous board sites the people came from. Usenet was decentralized, no logins, and some were moderated. But this is what the people want, yet

Well, depending on frequency you would still have some traversable effects regarding radio. You would have ground wave propagation at the minimum. unfortunately, most radio would be line of sight because of no atmosphere. Limited atmospheri
