I agree it is overpriced just like every large form factor e-ink reader has been (likely unavoidable due to it being a niche product), but there are at least a few things that it does better than an iPad pro. Note that I'm not saying i

I have an answer for you but I also had a question for anyone that might be knowledgable. Why are Mac mouse drivers so bad? I've used the magic mouse, logitech and Microsoft mice and they are all terrible. I did this on multiple MBPs.

Historically the term Advanced Persistent Threat has been used to refer to groups that appear to be a part of some kind of well funded/organized entity. It doesn't have much to do with the actual sophistication of the attack. Howe

I agreed above that for trivial things an explanation is unnecessary. > It isn't that there is no advantage in explaining things, but often times the enlisted really don't want to listen to some officer drone on about why somet

>The assumption is that the non-officers need to know what to do, but do not need to know why they need to do something. I spent almost 2 decades in the Army. Its a terrible assumption. Except for combat situations, other emergencies, or

Aside from the fact that its obviously relevant, maybe it was mentioned because the thread is about an article that opens with some of those same statistics on the reduction of poverty.

It would increase his sales, but by his estimate it would have to sell almost twice as many copies to break even. Coherent art would cost him more than 3 times his current art budget.

I wouldn't try to talk you out of giving Steven King a shot. He's a good writer, I just don't like his writing. As for my own recommendation, Phillip K. Dick has a ton of great short story compilations if you're into Sci

Steven King has his own style of writing and it's quite possible to dislike it while enjoying reading in general. I read Insomnia, some short stories and about 100 pages of Needful Things. Needful things is on the very short list of ab

If you're into security books there's no better publisher than No Starch. For programming books, they do lean heavily towards beginners, but you can say that about every publisher. No Starch has a higher percentage of above averag

2) Log as much as possible and do something with the logs. Log everything and continue to improve your SIEM or security stack based on new threat intel. This is a good one. If you have a SIEM + Log Aggregation setup and you don't have

My CIS degree was basically business management with 2 programming 101 classes, each in a different language. Micro and Macroeconomics were fascinating to me. They might be useful to someone but I don't run a business so I can't c

This makes no sense because as someone that has always had cats you have to put up with a lot of bullshit from cats and they don't even care if you continue to exist. Caring for cute, furry little sociopaths with razor sharp claws shou

Thanks for the response. Its great to see there's a more gradual way to get into the Rails tutorial now. I am aware that your original tutorial was probably not aimed at a complete beginner with no experience at all, but I was basing m

As a beginner trying to learn to program a long time ago, rails was possibly the worst resource I attempted to use. You follow a complicated, tutorial to set everything up so you can actually start. Then you type a few words and then a bunc

I'm glad to see more classes like this out there but how long until you have more content? If this is a course on actual malware analysis you aren't going to get very far in 3.5 hours.

People need to stop thinking everything is about picking between 2 teams. Its quite possible to dislike Theil and Gawker at the same time. Its also possible to like some things that each does while disliking other things that they do.

Peter Theil's actions are pretty questionable without your incredible attempts to paint gawker as anything besides a trashy, disingenuous tabloid. I've heard other parts of the company were decent but their bread and butter was th

I think its more a matter of setting up in a country that's stable vs most stable. This is balanced out by the entire cost of doing business vs other stable countries they could have selected.

But its not an insane resolution. Its twice as expensive as 8k monitors and the only reason they used a proprietary resolution was to attempt to justify it. I thought the monitor was going to be around 2-3k like others in its class. I agree

That's true. I remember that there was a shitstorm of controversy over Kriss Kross' Jump when it first came out. Not saying its good, just an example of something incredibly mild that was almost too much for America's sensibi

I'm not a huge Nirvana fan, but I agree. The band ended before it realized its full potential and I think In Utero was a small taste of where they were headed. Heart Shaped Box is so much better than their earlier hits (which are by no

So you're saying he continued to commit crimes up until May 2017? That's when WannaCry happened. His fame came on pretty quickly after that and it didn't take long for him to get arrested. Edit: The source code leaked at some
