So you shutdown the VM due to what appears to be a compromise. That is typical host behavior at least. Locking the user out of their account seems...odd, tho. I've never had that happen, personally, at any host.

This. It was the same thing the budget dedicated providers did before 'cloud' and 'vps' became popular/viable technologies. I do think DO's business plan does make sense tho, many of those budget providers are

Ya, I contacted them to get them to apply the promo since I didn't have alot of faith in their automation/tooling. Honestly, for the price, some level of issue/limitation. If you are charging 50% [or more, depending on whom y

Anything legal and ethical that saves you time is nothing to be ashamed of. :) I forget function names or math formulas all the time too. :P

We really need our academics to focus on teaching people [before they get out of highschool] useful skills [critical thinking, for instance] instead of picking fights with people over a given ideology [e.g. Thiel who holds a belief/the

Exactly. There is plenty of prior art. There is similar things that can be used for 2 factor, etc. I'm not going to Google them all for you but there is a ton of prior art that does the same thing. I've already got something simil

They really should have picked a different title and hinted at the conclusion which was STEM workers are suffering the same wage stagnation as everyone else and the only companies with hiring problems want STEM workers on the cheap. :/

Yes. ZipCode + SSN is enough to identify you, even without your name, close to 100% of the time. Toss in your name and I'd be amazed they'd ever got a false positive. I'm [honestly] not sure why they even bother asking for a

Would you at least concede that the H1B process is highly vulnerable to someone abusing it by re-titling jobs/requirements with a lawyer's help? I'd agree the data/method/motivation is highly suspect.

The article claimed that the logical reason for the company's actions [since they can't underpay] is that they are recruiting for junior / lower paying [e.g. system analyst instead of software engineer] positions when in real

I didn't force you to re-hash. Maybe I'm just not cynical enough to believe a thief that appears to be on an egotrip [which is realistically what the hackers in this instance are]. They made a mistake on the 12th and corrected it

All of which were publicly acknowledged are reasonably quickly. I didn't ask about breaches. I asked about ones that were not acknowledged or not acknowledged quickly which is what was claimed. ;)

Aye. But if you are paying less than $75/month for a dedicated server, what do you expect? XD

http://buyvm.net/ - Their storage VMs are pretty good, I only use it for backups tho. I'm not sure if that helps you at all.

I believe Linode used to have the option to attach extra storage but you'd still need to reformat, merge, etc. Personally, for high diskspace growth needs, I just use a dedicated where I can just get them to throw additional disks in w
