Critical review of sources will help flesh out faulty logic and lack of credibility of referenced sources. Writing a concise paper and citing numerous credible sources to back up years of experience could help people understand the need for the course of action being suggested. Social Security’s future, at least in the form it has existed dating back to FDR, is now greatly imperiled. Phishing scams are now common but their effects of identity theft and fraud can be devastating. Auto theft rates have been on a decline for the last few years now, but a recent crime wave in the UK shows that modern vehicles with keyless technology are the new targets of the car thieves. It also shows the Chinese think they can still fool Western companies into sending engineers to China, where stealing IP is as easy as setting foot in an office building. Here’s the biggest tip for managers and companies that want to get code deployed.

As I read the criteria for scholarly and non-scholarly sources, I think such critical thinking would benefit many companies that base decisions on media hype, fear, emotional arguments or personal agendas to make decisions. Work towards a horizontally versus vertically scaling architecture, but make sure your management and visibility into all systems rolls up into a single source. The wireless systems are regarded as extremely discreet watchers void of any wirings and obvious visibility. In may cases removing these security screws will void the warranty of your equipment. You will, however, have to do some experimentation with this because you will be losing the dead-on shot. Break off most problematic bits of complex systems into decoupled, horizontally scaling component intstead of rewriting and deploying a whole new system in one shot. Write unit tests when you can and while QA is testing; Don’t be ivory tower about it and block the whole team.

Working from home one day would be really nice but it would be helpful if the team could agree on which day because in office collaboration can be extremely helpful at times to move a project forward.

While there is no list of mobile apps that are currently affected by DressCode, it becomes extremely important to not install applications that seem fishy. It is recommended by experts and researchers that prior to potential danger strikes on the commercial places, commercial security initiatives are required to be undertaken to recognize jeopardy issues. In banks and other commercial places they also try to set up a unit who will be there to maintain the risk involved in handling those machines. Try out scripting and spinning up environments on each platform. Push vs. pull can get changes out more quickly.

Call out impediments that can be fixed; deal with those that are part of the process creatively, if you can. If you are constantly making online purchases or dealing with Internet domains that require you to give certain information about yourself and your account, deal or transact business only with websites that use secure servers. Before nixing a deployment go over the pros and cons of releasing all or part of the work in a certain state with business and give them the option of releasing or not. Boundaries give freedom. When the fences were up they knew where they could go, and that meant they were free within those limits. That meant I did not need to bother checking the switch span port that was feeding traffic to the VirtualBox system. Popular articles reflect the tastes of the general public and are often meant as entertainment. Checking credibility and track record of sources is always a good idea if you are basing a decision on what that source is saying whether it is a person or a document. This type of critical thinking is really needed in all aspects of decision making in life. Beware of making a new technology or set of libraries a dependency until you have done a proof of concept and completely vetted the technology to understand implications, limitations and security risks (published on security and other web sites).
