they don't share the question asked, but the PDF has a little more: "Out of the consumers aware of hacker attacks and owning or planning to own IoT devices in the next five years, 18 percent decided to terminate the use of the devices..."
two NPR links here, the 2014 says how the cold in winter 2014 is the polar vortex, and the warm in 2015 is a combination of tight polar vortex and el nino, he* resisted saying it was related to climate change.
he is Mike Halpert, NOAA's deputy director of the Climate Prediction Center
But it does affect people directly, through tax dollars, which is how I talk about it. Conversley, there must be a lot of jobs created by the program, jobs which would be lost if the program was cut.
I support the love. PuTTY serves well as an SSH client, many complaints here are about other issues like security, https, trusting binaries, GUIs, and really it's not fair to Simon and team who kindly released the program for us all to use. Nowadays I only use it when I'm unfortunate enough to need to do work on a Windows machine. Thanks guys for releasing this free software.
you do, it's because the big companies who write e-mail clients that the bulk of the population use, the same companies also are involved with advertising. There's no big money behind building a good quality privacy enabling e-mail client, or browser.
The ars piece opens with "How leaky is shale gas production? Good news—fracking's probably not as leaky as earlier studies suggested.", it continues without much analysis, and my weariness is that it doesn't really address that these studies and findings and reports are very hard to trust on face (or any) value as this topic or industry has a history of funding convenient research and, as with this ars piece, reproduction of the reports as news headlines. I would like to know whether fracking is bad. I'm old enough to remember being told in the 70s that oil would soon run out. Both the 70s and the deadline have passed and now there's so much fossil fuel it's a danger and we should not have the Keystone pipeline because we'll never survive the carbon release. The 70s also bought us the forecast of another ice-age, with hindsight we should take it all with a pinch of salt, but instead we brand each other science deniers or otherwise.
In previous years I've had GPG/PGP configured, but not had anyone to write to or anything to write about.
We need entry-level e-mail clients to have GPG/PGP built in. Your post highlights the need to select a client which is why GPG/PGP has a niche user-base who send dull e-mail to Internet Celebrities who happen to share public keys. I mean my parents e-mail client, which would naturally be the default for their operating system (yes, Windows Live Mail), should have in-built GPG/PGP capability and the address book should auto encrypt any messages to me with the public key in my "contact" info, and decrypt any from me with their private key which is created and stored without them even realizing (as SSH does). It's hard to select an e-mail client anyway, but convincing my parents to select an e-mail client and/or plug-in, isn't going to happen.
I've been puzzled why fat clients traditionally have S/MIME built in, but certificates are complex to obtain, and don't have GPG/PGP with easy to create keys.
boo! this obviously works but you're disrupting/robbing a paying customer of their service, and likely the router will be confused and neither of you will get a good service. The only acceptable use of this activity is if you pay on one device, and want to switch to use another, say a work, then spoof your work laptop MAC on the personal laptop. Then it's reasonable as there's no harm to another user.
I notice Bodhi Linux have recently released 3.0, I'd been using an older release. I'm a sysadmin command-line person, I like bash and a good terminal. Bodhi had visually appealing features, separating them from the Windows95 feel most other desktop Linux has. I switched to XUbuntu recently as while Bodhi and Enlightenment and Terminology are slick, they were missing critical features like copy/paste between applications and some functions needed a mouse. For their challenging the dull GUI status quo, i applaud them. I have recently been satisfied, like you, with Xubuntu and I am not using any jazzy or alternative terminal emulator.
I totally agree. To me it's the (apparent) ineffectiveness of the existing three & four letter organisations and the amount they cost which is the crime. I read the article with prejudice but the take-away was the administration wants to give more money to the same old private intelligence/defense corporations.
Maybe you're being subtle, i agree with your point.
>> christian conservatives started carrying out attacks
The Centennial Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta was such a thing, the KKK and anti-abortion terrorism is supposedly radicalized Christian.
But because The Establishment is generally Conservative Christian, it's treated differently. I wish we could drop the affiliation and just call them Radicalized people. I'd hate to be associated with Radical Atheists if ever a violent act of terrorism was performed by non-believers.
>> libertarians or socialists
Occupy? Though Guy (the face of Occupy/Anon) was a Catholic.
This timely article appears the weekend I erase & install OSX having clicked the wrong download button on CyberDuck. The Google DoubleClick banner is prominent on the page, the actual software download is "below the fold". I should know better, but I clicked the big green "Download Now" next to the big Yellow duck, and underneath the same-Green Donate button. I ended-up downloading something wrapped in Genieo's InstallMac software, nothing to do with CyberDuck, who I wouldn't even mention except the banner is so prominent on the page. I also, dumbly, entered my admin credentials before aborting the install when it started downloading more components. Within seconds my search engine on all browsers was changed, start-page reset and other configuration including a process left running.
The installed files and modified files were not easy to find, apple provide good help but it's hard to trust the computer once it's executed malicious deceptive code with root privilege.
Clearly this was all my own fault and poor decision making.
agree and adding: i recently learned the Key is different to the password to associate, ie you must capture the session key exchange when each client device joins the network, it's not just enough to know the network's passphrase. If you know the passphrase and capture the key exchange, then you can decrypt traffic. My local coffee spot runs a public/guest WPA network, even though we all know the passphrase, even plain text traffic is moderately secure. I guess forcing a key-exchange is possible, but just sharing what i recently learned. I think it's called EAPOL. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EAPOL
I thought the global intelligence services already had access to Facebook etc. data, maybe the question in-light of the Ed Snowden leaks, is why they didn't see this. Except, as commented there would be an extreme false-positive rate. In which case, why do we continue to fund the intelligence services...
low violence, is an interesting example to start with, since that's exactly the reasoning used to justify the lack of privacy and surveillance we now have. Violence is often individually actually low to zero, until you or a loved-one become a victim. But watch TV and be told how some people are a violent threat, and it can seem high and you become different ---ist.
The value of the product is undermined by what we now know the Agencies do. Before Snowden we all thought it was an idiotic idea we'd have pervasive surveillance, now we know it happens. Before Snowden we'd buy nice to have, harmless gadgets, or use easy Google speech recognition (your reference), now we shoot them down. As an investor i'd be thinking about this kind of reaction to a product. Maybe a table-stakes feature would be privacy in a way our community had some confidence it was well thought through.
Agreed. And on the idea that it's ridiculous they are listening all the time, and 1984 comparisons, it's worth knowing in 1984 they weren't continually listening, but they might be. I read this book in the 1970s at school, i think it's time to re-read.

quote: There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live -- did live, from habit that became instinct -- in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized.
i completely agree. to avoid crashes the OS could return innocuous zeros, for example, the contacts has no entries, silence on the mic, zero for location, no connection on a network interface. To level the playing field, the vendor should be able to know i declined the request and not provide me the software, that's if their business model is based on advertising or data collection defeated by my choice.
There are other ways of enforced labour as well as slavery, and some are quite close to home. Indentured workers, and poor houses for example, and the company scrip, are slightly less brutal forms of something similar to slavery, as are workers in the penal system. In all of these systems the workers aren't really able to walk away from their "owner". And some of this is fairly recent involving Ikea [4] and Walmart [5].
i suspect it will be allowed to go-ahead, the government at all levels seems to like to support the telecommunication monopolies. Municipal and community internet alternatives, or competition, seem to be inhibited by regulation and bureaucracy. There is such a barrier of entry and regulation on cable provisioning that it's hard to see how anyone can compete, and if they do, it's got to be someone the size of Google who have their own agenda.
>> subsequently staff at the British Museum Library used 19th century techniques to try to flatten and mount it, which has contributed to its current condition today rendering the text very difficult to see.
The article says today's specialists have the answer, when previously they were amateur: preservation specialists are having to glean as much as they can, since previous staff didn't really know how to preserve something this important, patronizingly calling them 19th century techniques. I imagine in another few hundred years the specialists of the time will call today's techniques damaging.
It's a common habit to forget learning is continual and we should never stop questioning and challenging the so-called experts. They should stop digging up Dinosaur bones and think twice (or more) before excavating historical sites.
People will also follow re-key instructions taking them to phishing sites. They'll tell strangers their passwords and download and run unique video codecs (aka malware) to watch some special comedy video file they've been sent by a friend. The answer is to educate your friends, family and any stranger who will listen to perform some critical analysis on an unsolicited approach by e-mail, phone, sms, or whatever.
if people really cared, they'd follow The Rules. How many other conveniences do we drop? I rarely click links in e-mail, but my non-technical eternally trusting-of-strangers friends will always be tricked into doing stupid stuff. If it's not links in e-mail, it's pop-up-windows, or salesmen with extended warranty.
