Depends what you want to do, I'm about 98% in plain old, boring index-tracking ETFs. But sometimes I want to take a bit of money to make some stupid bet. Yes, to gamble. And for that purpose, often having the leverage is a good thing.

Just people who are new to it mostly, this must be aimed at people who haven't done any low level development at all. Some people seriously struggle with it though, I don't think I had a truly full grasp until I started reverse en

Seems like they're just starting to fix it now with Win10 and only on applications that ship a special manifest (or on entire machines if you set a specific registry entry).

Windows has a similarly disastrous situation where most tools and APIs follow MAX_PATH - which is defined to be 260 chars. But that doesn't affect the actual filesystem or syscall interface, just common APIs and tools. This makes it im

That's not quite the sort or debugging being discussed here though - they're talking general theory of how to think through a problem to locate the issue, which applies to more things than just software including computer hardware

You need to have one person who can run apt-get upgrade a few times. Most of the good development and operations people are capable of it in my experience at least. It requires at most a few days upfront and a couple hours of monthly work t

Hah, I can barely get the hardware on a heavily used laptop to last 2 years, let alone over 3. Shit is just junk, Apple stuff included. HDMI port failed on my new Macbook.

That's a bit different - no one here is suggesting recreating tools, merely using existing tools in a more secure manner and segmenting them off from the general public and sometimes the rest of your network too. Lowering your attack s

That's why I suggested MatterMost - it can be self hosted and has a very nice interface. There's also quite good ones for XMPP like Conversations and Spark. Best bet for less technical people is to have suggested quality clients.

Honestly, I'm continually amazed by the level of absolute garbage people can ship with any level of popularity. And worse, get funding to ship it.

Doubt this will be a popular view around here, but using a 3rd party service for internal business communications is just a bad idea. I've seen companies posting root passwords, ssh keys, salaries, internal financial details, etc in Sl

Depends on your country. For example, in Canada we have a new Interac Flash (tap card debit) system which has 0 liability for buyers or sellers.

Most ISPs offer uncapped for a fee. Bell offers a deal with their mid level TV package and uncapped gigabit for $100, you might have to get the right sales person for it though. I have that deal for 2 years right now. A few friends of mine

I think it might be a PR move and a lack of partner services on their part. Bell is deep on Crave TV and stuff, Rogers killed their similar service just last year. So they have a lot less to gain from the move and may get bad press for it..

Pretty good outcome, though some would argue it may not even be necessary at least for home ISPs. Mobile is a different story... Even before this ruling we were in decent condition on home ISPs due to actions the CRTC had taken which greatl

Sad part is that if you just posted that link somewhere very public anonymously, it'd have been fixed in minutes and everyone on fraud alert.

Precisely - the solution here needs to be that the server blocks the robot - if it can differentiate it from other traffic that is. That's all well and good and that's the solution which should be used here. If you don't want

If you have to go without your car for several days at a time - unlike other manufacturers - that's common for Tesla right now, that'd be a bigger problem for people who don't have access to a car otherwise. Or for Tesla to b

Are they planning to build out a full dealership network for their more consumer oriented stuff or are they still sticking with their direct-to-consumer model?

Most of those manufacturers don't have to ship a car out-of-country to get it serviced though. Which - at least in my country is what Tesla has been doing.

> All that's required is a visit to a service centre. Doesn't seem like a big deal. This is probably true for now when the Teslas in production are mostly in the hands of people who can work out time and have a job secure enoug

Really glad to see some cool libraries coming up for Rust. When I last tried to learn it, I got the basics then sort of just gave up because there didn't seem to be anything cool or unique I could do with it.

Exactly. The only time the cloud services really pay off are when you need to scale up or down massive capacity overnight. The odds of that happening at most companies are very, very slim, even most of the web companies. If you're real

Sure, if you'd like to talk about sandboxing and exploit mitigation mechanism then sure, Chrome takes the cake. I have really no argument there. But that's not what you were talking about, you jumped to exploit pricing, seemed a w

That link makes no mention of comparative exploit price, is that the correct one? It doesn't even contrast security features with Firefox... Fact is, exploit price is a crappy way to do such a comparison, there are too many other facto

How so? Replay might be a bit of a concern, but it's fairly time limited. The other stuff cited by Langley is just down to usability alone.
