Completely agree about broken protocol. Unfortunately, I doubt their will ever be a real impetus to abandon it; we will just keep muddling along strapping ever more duct tape. But let's dream, what would your protocol be? For some reas

> You don't own information about you. Data is data. This seems like a strange stance. Clearly some data is not just data and must be protected, for example Top Secret information. From a broad consumer perspective, we have FERPA an

A person can be an average programmer, and still a superstar if they are an expert in a problem domain. As an examples, shipping / order fulfillment has many weird nuances - things like tariffs, dealing with dangerous goods, differing

I feel like Microsoft has a string of devices which could have been good to great, and they keep just missing the mark somehow - windows phone, ms band, surface hub, heck even zune was as good as an ipod at a lower price point. Not sure why

Their is an excellent book called "Into the Whirlwind" about Stalin and the soviet era purges. One of the strategies of those arrested was to name 2 more. While a great concept in theory, it just made the purges worse. https:&#x2

I guess. But Windows 10 and Amazon Echo are bought and paid for products that seem to be joining the spy-on-you-game.

Why do you believe most states have IT-related disaster relief infrastructure in place? I worked for several years in CA govt, I would be surprised if anything beyond the major metros has much in place for coordinating shelters, etc. In fac

I assumed rail is part of this bill, my bad. Buses regularly have speakers announcing the stop (85th and X) that can be heard at quite a distance. I guess people think this is a joke or nimbyism, but it is a legit concern. We all know by kn

Every time I see this posted, I ask about noise. Dense housing near rapid-transit, particularly rail, has led to lots of people getting exposed to massive volumes of noise, even at night. This is the type of long-term negative that get peop

I just worked 10 years at a public state University. The inefficiency, cronyism, and often blatant corruption is staggering. At least with respect to universities, there is some magic bank of "misused" money waiting to be tapped.

When we get to that level of a flaw, it is nice to remember that technically our own hollowed constitution is simply an illegal overwrite of the Articles of Confederation.

This is all just fluff PR. Follett's continues to have a near monopoly on campus book stores and Pearson has outsized influence given demonstrated (in)competence. Want cheaper prices? Cut those 2 out, put out more public bids for servi

General question for any pros on here, when querying for a read only report, is it standard practice to map from a viewModel/dto to a domain model? Seems a little counter productive to me (for reports) as viewModels will typically have

Brilliant caption to the jobs graph. After 15 years of PHP I went to .net last year. Their are many things PHP gets right and IMO are still better than ASP. For example, configuration is silly weird and complicated in ASP net core, php.ini

Auth0 and Okta have tons of docs on this. Even if you don't use their services, they have much to read. Also, here is a good recent video for ASP Net Core 2, that includes extra things like HSTS, etc. Even if your not in ASP, the conce

Well, one, China is already number 1 in PPP. Two, they are already setting up parallel institutions just to prevent being IMFd that (see AIIB). Third, they already have numerous renminbi trading deals with several countries where goods are
