This was predicted to be a while off, amazing that we are even at a point where it is likely to happen.

The link isn't working for me. Is it working for anyone else?

Works for me.

Someone in the CIA is busy explaining to some congressional sponsors how their "no one will ever know it was us" isn't going as planned.

@FloridaMan said in US DoJ Looking to Enforce H1-B Programs More Closely:

@mlnews

Does this mean Disney will have to get rid of their Indian H1-B IT staff, and re-employ the good old 'merican boys (and girls) again?

Trying to stay out of the political murk, this is all I'll ask here. Do you believe anything the government claims?

@DustinB3403 said in Amazon Go and the Future of Shopping:

The only issue I see with something like this is now you'll hire security to confirm purchases as people are entering / leaving.

Should be less staff over all, but a bit more police state shopping.

The companies who start moving in this direction are not the same ones who will treat their customers like criminals over the possibility that one item didn't get rung up.

I have worked on projects to try and do warehouses this way, but time and time again, the RFID ends up being just too expensive per tag to make it worth it. We already have the technology to fill a cart with items then as a customer walks out, a gateway over the door can count it all, and bill them. I am betting Amazon has just found a way to bring cost down slightly on existing technology.

It will def be nice to have 100Gb without the RDMA support. We have a limited set of applications that can utilize it so I'll be happy once we get to use this.

Why so he f**k up Canonical more, all those failed plans where of his era:

Ubuntu fail phone Ubuntu fail interface Ubuntu snap apps or packages and moving away far away from Debian unstable repo.

The reason why Fedora/Centos works is cause of up-streaming, and Ubuntu long ago forgot about that and now they are swimming alone reinventing the wheel.

The three app stores that are baked into devices (excluding Amazon)

Apple: The exclusive club that allows business transactions on its premises but don't piss off the owners or you're out on your ear. Google Play: The we accept anyone club where people come to hang out and do a bit of business. Pick pockets and thieves go unnoticed but are thrown out upon discovery. Windows store: The wild west, lawless, don't trust anyone. A marshall/law bringer comes to town every-so-often, throws out a few trouble makers, doesn't finish cleaning up the place before leaving again.

@scottalanmiller said in US Officially Signs Away Internet Privacy Protections:

The US has a relatively uninvolved populace when it comes to politics. Even for the third world it's not very involved.

Some areas of the US have single digit participation rates... that's nearly unheard of in countries outside of authoritarian dictatorships

Ya I've got a low power CPU with a single m.2 and using a tuned profile.

@momurda said in BrickerBots Targeting Poorly Secured Internet Connected Consumer Devices:

But the people affected will just go buy new devices, connect them back up without changing default access pw

At some point it just becomes funny

@scottalanmiller i'm not saying that this is going to fix all the problems of the service line because that's not gonna happen but still it doesn't have to be revolutionary it just needs to be affixed device

@Harry-Lui said in AMD Radeon RamDisk Utility for Windows:

@dafyre

Windows 98 boot disk creates a RAM disk to store all its files which also happens to be my first experience with RAM disk. You can also copy the need files off the boot disk to create your own RAM disk in windows.

I've been using RAM disks since 1987 on the Commodore Amiga where we would use it for all kinds of things. Our memory was many times the size of our storage making it a no-brainer. Especially as the storage was insanely slow floppies.

Cool, Irrelevant tech.

Hardly relevant, there are a lot of these systems out there and they need to be serviced and replaced.

Fixed.

No, as shown by @Dashrender The other day the song cost of an existing system can still outweigh the cost of replacement

Song cost, eh? 😛

Yes, the Sunk cost for me saved me about $12K over upgrading to FreePBX.

Well you've heard the impression "he got it for a song", right?

@momurda said in YouTube TV Goes Live Today in Five US Cities:

More than the cost of Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Netflix combined per month. And you have to watch youtube commercials in addition to the broadcasters commercials.

It's to compete with Sling, which costs about the same.

The reason to pay for Sling too is for Sports. The only thing keeping cable packages alive right now

I think that YouTube TV is handling that, isn't it?

Not all
