I don't think anyone was claiming that or anything remotely close to it. I was explaining why the NSA wouldn't necessarily be in favour of more digitally secure infrastructure, bec…

The security vulnerabilities the NSA would use to spy on a system, or even just use as a jumping point to another system, can also be used by bad actors for other purposes, such as…

Or outsource to a pilot procurement company in China. There is precedent after all: https://www.propublica.org/article/microsoft-tech-support-go...

Also, the 130 IQ Engineer usually can't afford to wine and dine the business manager the way Amazon can. Or dangle the possibility of a cushy yet prestigious sounding job in front …

As someone from one of the territories mentioned, it was frustrating in the run-up to the referendum, and immediately after it, watching the local media try to get the view of Engl…

Technically the rule never changed. If a licence inspector sees a TV connected to an ariel socket then you're breaking the law. But there's virtually no inspections any more. There…

It's actually a private company that operates the transmitters. The BBC have been paying for access until now.

They're banking on the number of kids using that mechanism to bypass the ban being small. I'm not in favour of this but I'm acknowledging that if the number of children accessing s…

Perhaps it'll work like dodgy boxes/firesticks, where you have a handful of people who individually set up their own service then charge a fee for access.

The idea is that it doesn't matter if the ban is fully enforced. Most children only have a smartphone and they're the target of the ban.

>Don't americans want socialized healthcare over their despised privatized system? I haven't lived in either country but as someone who lives in a country with socialised healthcar…

Something like nextcloud.com? It's appeared on HN a few times. Some European governments and municipalities have switched to it.

That's a separate problem. And it's not "The EU", but really one EU commissioner. Many organs of the EU including the EU Legal Service have criticised CSAR (Chat Control) and the E…

Dutch and Danish are two different nationalities. To be fair they both begin with a D and end with a H so I understand the confusion.

There isn't even any indication of police involvement. "The authorities" could mean anything from the local police service to the National Crime Agency, to the National Cyber Secur…

And you can choose not to read their journalism. That's the value in having a reputation. And I'll remind you that the alternative in this case is just believing the random reddito…

Putting aside that the source for this is a Reddit post linking to screenshots of text, as opposed to a news site where a journalist would have to stake their reputation on the sto…

The original SG-1 did that already. Carter was the team leader for season 8 while O'Neill was base commander. And Atlantis had a civilian woman in charge from the pilot episode.

It doesn't quite make up for it, but balcony solar is a possibility for apartments (with balconies obviously), provided they're permitted in your jurisdiction.

The co-creator of Stargate was interviewed about it and said: >The only thing that is blocking the SG-1 movie or the Atlantis movie, the only thing, is the fact that the direct-to-…

I'm currently reading the first book that takes place after the conclusion of the show. There's a large time jump and I suspect they didn't want to age up the actors for 3 seasons.…

As bummed as I am by this news, I kinda understand the logic. The fan base likely didn't make up the majority of viewing figures when SG-1 and it's spin-offs were on the air. Other…

Guessing you maybe work in the consulting industry? The "seniors" tend to be glorified salespeople whose job is to put together presentations and reassure clients that everything's…

I think this might be more aimed at ensuring that if an attacker gains access to cloud login credentials via a compromised dev machine, those credentials can't then be used to acce…

I imagine the costs of purchasing and installing the panels in the UK are similar, but in Ireland there's definitely grants: https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/housing/housing-g…
