So AlphaZero is the strongest chess player in the world just four hours after being taught the rules of chess. Can AlphaZero find the cures for all the cancers? Can AlphaZero discover and correct the root of greed, selfishness, uncaring behavior, and violence? Once AlphaZero has all the power, what will someone (or…

My headphones can SPY on me? Yuck. Useful for CIA/FBI/NSA--and hackers/intruders/thieves/nosey people. I don't like it. Time to "accidentally drop the phone in the loo." Radio City Music Hall breached? Apparently it's time to go back to cash. When America was "better"? Once again, everything is measured in relative…

Remind me not to hire anyone except those who've passed your exams!

Count me among those "old-fashioned folks who still like correct spelling, complete sentences", please! And count me among the musicians who enjoy travel, and who recognize the parallel between unseen people who support travels and performances, and the unseen people who make the Network / Internet work for everyone.

Eye opening . . .

Bump.

Thank you very much!

More is better. Thank you for adding more.

You can do this already if you use Windows Active Directory Groups to manage your users. Put those ten in the same AD group, add that group to NPM and give it only the rights you want. On the other hand, I've been asking for the "clone user" option for years, since it would be an easy way to check with a test account that…

Here's an eye-opener for you: https://www.wimp.com/why-airline-classes-cost-as-much-as-they-do/

Sigh. I'm sorry for being the gad fly, the continual "cloud nay-sayer." But before printing--even in jest--the words "Cloud fixes everything," it should at least be available and reliable. And it's not. NetPath shows it. Image 1: Path to Microsoft's cloud-based onenote.officeapps.live.com--all resources are currently down,…

I love the style & flavor of this report. And I love the improvements and efforts you've made!

(My wife read the above note and commented "You BETTER not have been the husband!)

Naw, a human Zombie Apocalypse isn't a real thing. Unless you're counting on a large-scale outbreak of rabies in a large number of non-human animals. Rabies is the real-deal, and infected animals seem only to wish to bite other animals to infect them--to spread the infection. Very much like Zombie behavior. Solar flares…

It’s convenient to trust others with our data and its security. It’s convenient to use USB sticks to transport data. It’s convenient to set Outlook to preview messages and even download attachments automatically. It’s convenient to have credit card companies, banks, and retailers on the Internet able to access our…

A classic dilemma and conundrum is what you've presented to us. Questions for which there are yet no answers, and to which serious thought must be dedicated. Isaac Asimov (and his readers) delved into this fifty years ago with his Three Laws: * A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being…

So, one of government's functions is to prevent abuse. Abuse of people, abuse of funds, abuse of the environment--things folks should know are wrong to do. Protecting us and the world from greed / exploitation / slavery / etc. If folks wouldn't get greedy, wouldn't abuse their power or their workers or the environment, we…

Did I forget to mention that sometimes I'm speaking from "Rick Perfect World", where I can wave a magic wand and change attitudes and funding? The better path might still be to address the issue as one of training. After all, if no one breaks the rules because they understand why the rules are there, there's no problem.…

I haven't seen this change in view yet; would you mind providing some screen shots to show what your teams are experiencing, which you'd like to have changed for the better?

My perception of Slack & Teams & other similar offerings is that they aren't the cause of problems, even as they aren't the solution. People are the cause of lost productivity, and the source of efficient conversation and use of time. Get people thinking towards a goal with efficiency and it doesn't matter if they're using…

Uff da! I didn't even check for time being different than my local time. Hence the large spike would be for the preceding day? Still, the question doesn't specific "today", and as long as that high spike is present, it's the correct answer--and is not (yet) one of the choices.

This poll from April of 2016 is related:

Thank you so much for your work on this series! Please keep it up--I'm learning from your expertise, and that learning will help my company keep on top of technological trends and tools.

I wonder how Big Brother got started tracking everyone for a malignant and oppressive government? https://onezero.medium.com/idemia-will-operate-facial-recognition-for-nearly-800-million-people-69b72582202b

Stack overflow content moderation as a topic for text analysis? Uff da! You'll quickly discover not everyone thinks the same way, nor has the same education, nor cares about proper, efficient, and exact communication.

Dear me, the snarkiness factor increases exponentially as I make my way down the list. Netflix "STUNS" HBO? Seriously? This is important? I recommend going outside & playing with your buddies, your children, walking through some woods & listening to the birds and wind in the trees. Appreciating clean air & clean water and…

Sigh. Network Monitoring family dinners and gatherings. It's only a dream to me . . .

T-Mobile moving towards partial clear-text passwords means they're moving towards the future the T-Rex had. Extinction.

I feared that would be the case. Oh well. Thanks for the reply, Jiri.

If we say Solarwinds is installed on Windows products, your Active Directory / RADIUS logs should show attempts, successes, and failures. I like having that information there because it gives our I.T. Security and Help Desk teams the ability to control & audit access without them having to manage yet another system (Orion…
