To be fair, alternative facts wasn't meant as sinister as you may have been led to believe. What was meant was "additional" facts.

Compare 'peegate' with 'pizzagate'. On the latter, the mainstream media wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole (rightly so), because so much was pure speculation from internet neckbeards and trolls (to use affectionate terms).

With the former, we have the press doing the job of internet trolls, shoveling serious allegations with absolutely zero evidence given.

Through a political lens it makes perfect sense, it's very sad, and I can't trust anything the main stream media tells me anymore. They've lost me forever unless there's a serious 'come to jesus' moment and they confess their bias and rectify it.

For some reason that reads like something only Futurama-Nixon would say.

Exactly, it could have been a Russian national, or it could have been someone from the USA, Nigeria or Spain, with enough VPN tunnels and botnets at an attacker's disposal it might take years, if ever, that they could attribute the event back to the true source.

7GHz in a consumer part isn't going to happen for Intel for a very long time, probably a decade.

FYI: They had to disable 2 cores and HT to reach 7GHz.

So find and hold the real thief accountable for the theft and the invasion of the innocent person's privacy. It was after all, the thief's fault.

A more plausible explanation is that there is a cultural difference. Things must be taken in context, and every culture has words or thoughts that seem demeaning to another culture, but they were not intended to be. As an example, compare the use of the N word between a group of black people and a non-black group of people.

This is sad, if true.

Follow the money. Pharma has a lot of it, and they're willing to invest in politics to keep what they have and get even more.

Was the same, went for an Iphone 7. I'll never blindly buy a locked Verizon phone ever again. Damn them, damn them to hell.

Judging by the insane smog in their major cities, I'd say they have been pretty short-sighted in what is good for their health.

Today we have politicians coming out and declaring every single major natural disaster was because of man-made climate change. Does anyone feel that this helps convince skeptics?

Isn't he saying that the welfare programs have effectively subverted democracy by locking certain people (and women especially) into a certain constituency group, which once locked, are extremely difficult to escape (and those people's vote are extremely easy to manipulate)?

Raw community policing doesn't work either. That's what Reddit does and looking at /r/politics, that hasn't worked very well because it's being kept 99.99999% pro-Hillary and/or anti-Trump by whoever is willing to put in the time to keep it astro-turfed, most likely CTR.

Where is ArcSight going to end up?

Working with SIEMS a lot, I agree it needs a serious revision.

1. Define an encryption standard, both symmetric and asymmetric (to prevent log tampering). 2. Define a compression standard, with scheduling options similar to cron jobs but defined in syslog.conf. 3. Overhaul the facility field, define some generic ones like "Auth", "Audit", "Kernel" etc and don't hardcode any numeric mappings. Article covers this well. 4. Make CEF the standard format for writing logs to disk or forwarding to other devices. All modern applications and kernels should be writing their logs in CEF format.

Reddit is like a huge shopping mall, lots of shops for all kinds of interests in one place. In such a mall, it doesn't matter if you only ever shop at that one store you like, you will always encounter the quirks of other shoppers at the same mall.

HN is like an upscale department store hidden in a well manicured industrial park. Most visitors, I imagine, are there to enhance their self actualization, not just follow the latest fads in fashion and things to do on a Saturday.

When I first stumbled across HN years ago I was intrigued how vibrant this little-known community was. I noticed that the quality of posts here was much higher than any other tech forum I had seen. People were much more serious when it suited the topic and humor had real effort behind it when humor was called for.

And when I first noticed a silly Reddit-style meme, the Meme Active Defense (MAD) system kicked in and the poster got down-voted to oblivion, told to return to Reddit and that was that.

When has Trump ever mentioned anything negative about 'minorities'?

Just some wild guesses:

First explosion related to second stage (upper). Second explosion related to first stage's fuel igniting (I was expecting some much bigger, but likely there was already little oxygen left in that area and why it burned for so long. Third Explosion was the satellite's internal fuel (Hydrazine or something like it) detonating due to the fall damage and contact with the rest of the flame.

Beyond country specific TLD's which every country already has, what exactly do other countries want in terms of controlling the internet that they don't already have? (edit: spelling)

I have a manager now who spews out information like a water main and instead of natural pauses, they make weird sounds like 'uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and another thing'. They are also extremely hard to interrupt so if there's something they said that needs clarification, it's a pain in the ass to get clarification because they're still speaking at my second attempt to ask a question before diving deeper into the rabbit hole. Ah new managers.

If anyone is convinced Russia hacked the DNC, Jake Williams put together a talk[0] about the subject. If you follow him on Twitter, you'll realize quickly he wouldn't dump ice cold water on Trump were he on fire. The reality is there is just no way anyone could honestly claim with the certainty that the DNC has claimed that it was Russia.

And there was a massive groundswell of support within the government to keep 'their team' from losing. Keep in mind the only reason Nixon is such a big deal is because Republicans were equally outraged, at least morally, at what Nixon did. I don't think that would happen today if Obama did something worse and I have my doubts about Republicans too.

Do you have a link to evidence in support of #4?

#5 was as expected, taken out of context. All Trump said was that if the Russian did hack Hillary's email, that they release the 'lost/deleted' ones, something FBI wants very much as well.

#7 that isn't very surprising considering Obama's policies are so far to the left of most Republicans and frankly so seldom make any sense.

#8 again, not surprisingly that this was taken out of context by someone. Trump correctly pointed out that NATO has serious issues that need some tough love if they're going to be resolved.

I'd take someone being completely honest with me 100% of time over someone who thinks one thing of me and tells me something else. The thing is, people act based on their beliefs the vast majority of the time. So to borrow your example, say the friend doesn't complain about his buddy playing Overwatch all the time. Do you think that he'll just wait around to see if he'll stop playing or do you think he'll start to ignore his friend and go find other friends whom he shares the same interests with? Without honesty, the friend playing overwatch too much will have no external cues that his behavior is damaging his friendships.

What other constitutional protections should Apple attack next?

The only thing that you have to determine is which political campaigns are these two companies donating the most to. Then you'll know why this isn't being changed.

Why indeed. I think particularly no network has ever earned a better title than CNN with their Clinton News Network. They're all shills for her at this point no matter what she does, they'll hold her to one standard while holding Bernie or Trump to another.

Why don't they create a huge "sea" using concrete and just dump the brine there? I'd imagine if they built it large enough, they could dump all the brine they needed to and it would evaporate faster than they could pour it in (leaving behind the salts/chemicals).
