That is correct. The hard part of the logistics industry is getting the integration between warehouse, trucking and operations correct. I worked as a programmer in this space and most of the time and money in this space is not going toward

One of the things I enjoy about Aikido is that many of the techniques have "nice" and "not so nice" variations. The ikkyo technique can put an opponent on the ground with a minimal amount of pain. The nikyo technique is

You have not given us one shred of evidence to back up your claims. Just because you include the words "Snowden","NSA backdoor", and "Dual EC" in a paragraph doesn't make any of your conclusions magically

This is not about giving up your dreams, it's about figuring out what your wife needs to be happy being married to you. Her being mad about you being in her space could by a symptom that she feels she is not getting enough of your und

Sounds like a form of the ChargeBack system for IT. It makes bean counters happy, but spreads misery every place else.

The hospital admission/re-admission policy (or lack thereof) is exactly the type of thinking that this article is addressing. ER/Urgent Care doctors have a list of criteria for hospital admissions that are not always present at t

As a c# dev I started to learn F# on a whim. Now I find myself being sucked down the F# rabbit hole. The pattern matching was mind blowing. To any fellow c# or VB devs learning F# is worth the time invested.

I want this to succeed. I want to engineering team(s) to crush all the issues that people have raised here and elsewhere. That being said most cutting edge engineering projects like this don't make money for a very long time and I wo

Lot of nostalgia and time lost. My wife and I played together before we had kids so we could stay up to 2-3 AM on weekends and 40 man raid Molten Core or Blackwing Lair. We were lucky to find some married people who played and/or som

This is the first time I have heard about "stunt hacking" but that is a perfect descriptor for the behavior I have seen from some individuals.

Don't confuse rock star developers with people being assholes. If your arrogant attitude turned off your coworkers, then when you stop being arrogant the situation should improve. If your coworkers are assholes it will not. There ar

True. However,CS Lewis once said that if you want to be a good writer you have to be interested in more than just writing. I think the same hold true for development and or hacking. If you want to be a good developer than you should have

True. As someone who just started aikido last year there are some moves that I would not attempt in a dangerous situation do to lack of mastery. However I have done ikkyo so many times from various starts that it could be used very effect

As much as you feel a responsibility to the public on this you have a massive conflict of interest in this area. Sure, be nice and send your competitor an email. After that stay out of it and move on. There have been plenty of hackers wh

yes the debate between 5.56mm and 7.62mm crowds is hot enough to rival a .Net/Java debate LOL. Still I am glad to see it. How many soldiers lost their lives because of faulty M-16's in Vietnam? How many lives were lost because

While Cryto is interesting, it is also very easy to get wrong. Hence the high interest but low comments. The comments on password hashing in article illustrate that http://arstechnica.com/staff/2014/12/ars-w

Maybe restating the obvious, but why don't they pay out the 300k to some professional pen testers or cryptography auditors and publish the results. At least then they would have a shot at validity in this area.

I agree in that if the law mandates you have to allow certain parts of your property for public use then it should also protect you from liability if a member of the public gets injured on that part of the property. That being said, I think
