Or, it self selects out people who would cost more money in support to the bank. If you’re in their time zone (and awake when they are), the bank could save money by only needing to have support available at certain times. Similarly, they m

This isn’t root password management. Or at least, it shouldn’t be. Users shouldn’t have root passwords for end devices. This is about controlling access to remote servers and/or sudo access to those servers. None of which requires the

Oh, I’m sure it’s super rare. It’s actually quite easy to setup, but I’m not sure many people bother with the setup because LDAP (I’m not counting Active Directory) in general isn’t all that common. I know this just from the rarity of artic

Even when using a jump server, I've solved the issue of revoking access in the past by using LDAP to control access to servers. Instead of adding user accounts directly to server, the account information is stored in LDAP -- including

I've done this before and it works in a pinch, but I didn't think it was reliable enough to use on a permanent basis. I added a USB WiFi interface, and that helped with the signal quite a bit. Setting up the AP and networking isn&

Agreed. When they wrote “missteps”, I figured that there were errors found in the GPU design. Instead, it seems like the design was fine, but had an unexpectedly high power draw. The GPU worked, it just needed more power than they expected.

There isn’t one answer to this question. It depends heavily on the department. For example, biomedical graduate students are often covered by external (federal) grant funding. This increase can be factored into the budgets for those, but on

Go back even further and you’d have real media power — the newspapers of the 1890s. The time of Hearst vs Pulitzer was quite a time for newspapers and showed the power of publishers.

Are you sure that plane actually has a PIA ICAO number? Or that on the ground spotters were required to find the new ICAO? I know nothing about this, but was a rabbit hole to explore. The tail number for his plane is well known. If you put

Is Twitter actually working now? I get nothing but errors from the iOS app and the web. Edit: figured it out - content filter on the wifi I was using was filtering out some but not all Twitter URLs. It’s always DNS, I should know better.

There’s another added benefit that they get two different implementations of the same protocol. When you have multiple implementations, you effectively have a double check on the protocol design. This should make the project as a whole sign

All of that takes time. Subpoenas can be fought. Bankruptcy cases take time, and I’m not sure that prosecutors would get unfettered access to bankruptcy filings (unless/until the presiding judge thought it was relevant). But either way

Where would they have gotten the full records? Or been able to know where to look in the records? Forensic accounting takes time (even if the records are as bad as alleged). To me, this suggests someone on the inside helping to build a case

But DOJ would have needed someone who had the receipts (who could also explain it all) to be able to act this quickly. So, in this case, I think it's a reasonable theory (but not the only viable one). Maybe part of the urgency was al

Most electrical codes only require updates (to bring the system into compliance) when there is work being done. So if you don’t need to add a circuit, your home may still be wired as if it were the 1950s (or earlier!). This is part of the h

These cheap (seriously a $15 heater can’t produce enough heat to cover a room larger than a small bedroom) heaters also can’t be controlled with a central thermostat. Water radiators (or electric heat pumps, etc) can be controlled for the w

Replacing a domestic heating system is significantly more difficult than adding new electricity plants. Domestic heating is a completely decentralized problem. If you wanted to change everyone over to electrical heat, yes it could be done.
