With Wipro not telling the whole truth about the breach remember that is from a impoverished county like India , that has many scam call centers that employ people who are habitual lairs This doesn’t surprise me one bit that Wipro would not tell the news media the truth but rather cover up the facts because a good amount of people( not all ) in that country lack morals
It wasn't Einstein who first conceived the idea of a black hole, one of the earliest records of someone speculating what would happen if a star got so massive that it's gravity would pull back light was John Michell, who termed them 'dark stars'. If that name doesn't ring a bell, think of the Cavendish experiment to weigh the Earth. That apparatus was conceived by the same man.
People saying this is anything but an incredibly positive event for the ecosystem are so hilariously delusional with their anti coinbase circlejerk.
This kind of ADOPTION (I.E. REAL WORLD WAYS TO USE CRYPTO)is beyond essential to the greater goals that crypto will eventually accomplish.
This alone could drastically increase crypto payments on a daily basis (even if they’re ultimately translating into USD) and will better stress test blockchains abilities to scale and process transactions. It’s a huge step in the right direction.
The decentralized world was never going to exist overnight (we’re 11 years into this project, btw) and this is huge.
I'm a bit annoyed when people talk about "fake news" as if everyone understands what that means. It seems pretty clear to me that different people have different conceptions of what that is.
I've seen many discussions about whether the groundings of the MAX (especially the earliest ones) are hysterical/political or is it based on any facts. The facts is two of these BRAND NEW planes crashed within 5 months under very similar circumstances. Doesn't that alone seems statistically justified to ground the MAX? The chances of human error and/or environmental factor striking twice within such short period seems infinitesimally low, no? Just curious how that math works out.
“The company also wanted to cover the trenches with epoxy, rather than the typical asphalt mix.”
Along with the rest, this outlines a basic problem that modern Google and other Silicon Valley companies have with technologies. The Google people have massive talent, capabilities, and funding. Yet the use this almost as a handicap nowadays. Because they have talent doesn’t mean they have a monopoly of it.
We have extensive testing of every conceivable paving and repair mathod done over 100+ years. Engineering colleges around the U.S. (and the world of course) have a massive legacy of tests. To go in and just guess your new idea is going to work for a new project just isn’t necessary in such basic technologies.
Has no one heard of planned obsolescence? Facebook has outserved its usefulness; it is little better than a rudderless ship under the current leadership and business model. The bell has tolled; and the Feds are at the gates. Cease operations and move on. There's a plot available in the social media graveyard next to MySpace with Facebook's name on it.
Well, maybe Marlinspike should consider just not moving so fast. There’s something to be said for stability. (Cue Debian.)
On the other hand, I do strongly agree that the extensibility of XMPP basically killed off Jabber. I’m back to just IRC except for a (non-federated) work-internal server, and occasionally (say twice a month) firing up a Jabber client to get a message through (though I mostly eMail those people instead).
I’ve expressed my thoughts on this already. And now it wasn’t 5% teens, but 18%?!?! That changes….nothing. Look through the letter from Facebook and see how many times they were notified they’d be collecting your data. They knew what they signed up for and they got paid to do it. This is such a non-issue, it’s insane. What terrible thing has happened as a result of this app? A few teens made a little extra money by letting Facebook see how they use their phone? Let’s do another 15 stories on it please TC.
