I wrote and maintained an IP/UDP stack for an expensive, reliable, industrial packet radio, so you should back off your presumptive, elitist tone. Sure, they maintain a control TCP…

Why the downvote? People are okay with this corporate cronism?

Exactly. Seems like a specious strawman when the attack on personal use and viewing experience is much broader. Corporate control seeks to pervade every aspect of life and shake do…

Greedy corporations leaning on governments to drive people away from their content, criminalizing remixing and making content unusable by the blind and others speaking different la…

Here's a better explanation of its feeding habits (after repeating some of the same video) https://youtu.be/7v9js8v048o

We used Lustre, pNFS and GPFS at Stanford on HPC gear (DDN, Panasas and some enterprise COTS). Luster has a lot of moving parts and config. Most folks tend to use Puppet/Chef and/o…

Mudge at DefCon IIRC had a good point about MIC contractors having Intellectual Property repeatedly stolen, govt gives more money each time and disincentives to root-cause analysis…

They're crooks whom subvert democracy and exploit people and businesses with obsfucated trickery. Who cares? Next financial crisis brought closer because coworker competition in pe…

The fundamental failure of most SJW and some populist attitudes: committing varying levels of disproportionately evil behaviors in the name of self-righteousness, when a decent per…

I like succinct, semantically-clear code that's many, testable, tiny functions.

Perhaps it would be like Ubuntu going back RHEL/CentOS vs. Fedora churn, or turning something like iOS into something like Android. Sometimes, projects need to leave things that ar…

UDP shouldn't be used for content traffic, it has no guarantees. Plus, this is what happens when reinventing emperors new clothes protocols... greater attack surface for marginal b…

Plenty in America. In fact, take most of ours and save us from some diabetes.

0. Politics. Threatened or annoyed someone. Someone else was promised tenure. 1. Ageism. It's rampant, and I've seen in academia, discard people like tissues. 2. Progess. Maybe exp…

Yup. More mental "shortcuts" that seek magic "signals" to avoid both evidence and pragmatic interviewing effort testing both business problem-solving critical thinking and cultural…

REI usually has fantastic gear good enough to not have to seek out specialty stores. Just one example: I got a better, rugged water bottle (7 gal) for less that the cost of the cra…

Affliate link and content sales capitalizing on trendy animosity. Hard to say if the story actually happened or it's more of a tall tale to make money.

Port knocking and some even obscurity are valid additional layers of defense-in-depth if combined fundamentals of A3E. State actors can afford millions to spend on build/buying spl…

Critical infrastructure demands solid, understandable security (ie defense-in-depend). Throwing around shiny, new, unprovens things to "give the emperor new clothes" increases risk…

Yup. Open ports to the world is a terrible idea for anything real. This is why SSH jumpboxes (say a roundrobin pair of OpenBSD VMs with ssh rbash &| strongswan. Add secure portknoc…

Another more common eye(lid) problem people often give themselves is painful infections on the tip of the eyelids called styes. It's usually caused by someone rubbing their eyes wi…

Exactly. Lining up intellectuals, journalists and others against the wall is one fewer, finite normalizations away from occurring.

The risk of disinformation to manipulate sentiment (and Trump) is high. It may be an Assad WMD attack (ie they cheated on WMD destruction) or it might not (ie ISIS agitators using …
