Odds I’ve been hearing for Trump being re-elected are about 3.4 to 1.
Living 20 minutes into the future. Eccentric weirdo. Virtual Adept. Time traveler. Thelemite. Technomage. Hacker on main. APT 3319. Not human. 30% software and implants. H+ - 0.4 on the Berram-7 scale. Furry adjacent. Pan/poly. Burnout.
I try to post as sincerely as possible.

The thing about an operation as big as Amazon is that one or two people work on one component of one thing. If the folks who work on that one thing both bail, it doesn’t slow down Amazon or any of its constituent components overmuch. The way things are architected it can chug along for quite a while until somebody else is tasked with learning about and maintaining it.
This is, unfortunately, true. The kids of some family friends are trying in the worst way to get in at Amazon or Facebook to make their bones. They figure that they can build their brands by surviving there for four or five years (Amazon’s reputation for burning through people like toilet paper at Wing Wars is well known in the tech industry, and respected), sock money away because they still live at home, and get a jump on the good life.
I can’t tell 'em what to do. They asked for my advice and gave it. What they do is their problem.
I didn’t know Audacious was still being developed.
People want to be lied to.
So much for going on a Shodan safari in South Korea.
News flash: IoT doesn’t always mean “backend is on AWS.”
Sheesh.
That squares with the greyprints I’ve looked at. However, the article specifically talks about conversion kits.
There are still a bunch of torrents being seeded out there.
Working on open source software was one of the things they used against Aaron Swartz.
Think of the stock prices!
It wouldn’t surprise me if somebody tried to get such a thing passed in a couple of years.
And those half-assed laws make great pretext laws.
“That guy has a 3d printer! He might be fabbing ghost guns!”
Somebody needs to be seen doing something before the next election.
Incidentally, 3d printed parts aren’t used for conversion kits. They’re machined out of metal stock (and occasionally re-machined original parts).
I was serious. BBSes would be an ideal long-distance communication method under some circumstances.
Or perhaps an unassuming office building that only has outbound VPN connections.
This. Whoever manages to splice an optic nerve (meaning, it goes just about perfectly) would be in line for a Nobel Prize for Medicine.
A few of us have a long-running joke that World War III will be started because somebody can’t reach Pornhub anymore.
Still have a modem?
Unless somebody specifically installs an explosive charge in a device, it’s highly unlikely that modern power cells will detonate. If you want to get technical about it, they’re incendiaries. They don’t explode, they burn vigorously.
