Lots of VMs and sandboxes, MAC-address-based ACLs for access to shares, and knowledge that for every website you block, there are usually at least five others that can provide the same information/service (and if there aren't, you can live without them, anyway -- e.g. the message "Cannot connect to google.com" doesn't bother me in the slightest).
Oh, and total lack of fear in deleting unopened e-mails.
I'm writing this in a weven VM that I use for chat-type stuff, and always close without saving its state.

Quote: F@H hit its pinnacle of mindshare—and performance—in 2007, when Sony added it to the PlayStation 3.
So that's why I could never beat the big boss!
It's all sony's fault for using too many resources for purposes other than the one I paid them for!
Happy, now

YOU SHOULD HAVE STUCK WITH COBOL, YOU IDIOT!

I don't get it, what could COBOL do that JavaScript CoffeScript TypeScript can't do?
That was meant as a joke, but after typing it, I did wonder if there was actually any limitations of COBOL beyond subjectively awkward syntax (where things like ===, ==, =>, ->, etc. are not at all awkward)

All computer-languages' syntax is awkward, until you get used to using it.

Microsoft today announced it’s extending the end of service date for Windows 10 version 1809, aka the Windows 10 October 2018 update. The End is (not) Nigh!

Companies like Intel, Atlassian, Okta, Tableau and Intermedia are extending free versions of their offerings to organizations to help them stay afloat during the global pandemic. Every pandemic has a free lining?

This clearly demonstrates how much the services cost to provide.

Over 500,000 Zoom accounts are being sold on the dark web and hacker forums for less than a penny each, and in some cases, given away for free. I guess the Flash security folk are happy they're not the worst culprits anymore?

Oh zoom, you chased my cash away
High noon, the thieves and hacks came out to play
Then my whole nest egg went zoom
A terrible song. Nice to see it can finally be put to good use.

In many ways it’s the ultimate question in natural science: How does our universe work? Is there a fundamental theory? "The supreme task of the physicist is the discovery of the most general elementary laws from which the world-picture can be deduced logically. But there is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws."

I only got about half way through the page, because it's looking a little too much like numerology, to me.
Sure, there will be "rules" of this type that slot into what we have so far observed, but let's not get carried away here, eh?
The ratio 1:1.6 does a grand job of looking like it might be the basic rule for life as we know it, but that doesn't mean that it is.

IMHO, until they could find THE SIMPLE (otherwise it can't be something fundamental) reducible rule(s) that can generate 3 dimensional flat space (not roughly, but exactly) that we all experiencing in our daily life, they will be still on their way and very few could follow it ...

Mega post!
Btw, assuming we can get a consistent theory, i.e., one from which existing QM and GR are derivable, how can it be thoroughly tested? E.g., as things stand, it's impossible to test what goes on beyond the event horizon of a black hole and/or near the singularity where we assume QM and GR merge.
Maybe we just have to settle for its being able to reproduce QM and GR plus account for dark matter and energy?

Quote: So how does this relate to time? What it says is that in the basic statement of the model there is not just one path of time; there are many paths, and many “histories”.
So it is overlooking consciousness and free will, and can't model the world we experience every day, with those elements in it.

So now there's more than one "I" in GitHub?
Or are there none?
Only one? I can't keep track.

A team of researchers at MIT’s Dream Lab, which launched in 2017, are working on an open source wearable device that can track and interact with dreams in a number of ways — including, hopefully, giving you new control over the content of your dreams. "But in my dream, you play by my rules."
