So when it arrives in the US, the box will be secured with tape that reads "This device was definitely not tampered with by any US TLA. Nope, nosirree bob. Nothing to see here."
Regarding the legality of the move, "Yahoo is well within its rights to do so," said Ansel Halliburton an attorney at Kronenberger Rosenfeld who specializes in Internet law.
And when the first ad bots start spewing malware on Yahoo email users, no doubt this dickhead will be the first to say, "Yahoo is not responsible". Yeah; all they did was cash the checks.
when Ireland drops theirs to to 10%? I guess we could do 5%. Then they'd do 2 and a half, then we'll do 1 and they'll do -5% (e.g. incentives) and we can top that with -10%....
See, this is what's called a "Race to the Bottom".
And this is exactly what goes on between US states already, offering sweetheart deals of no taxes sometimes for decades in pursuit of paying jobs (and under the table payment for services rendered). No one really focuses on it because it's still rather boring, but state level politicians are now no different than the stereotypical Mexican cop on the take.
Funny how there is such fanatic concern about vetting refugees (even 24 months is too short for some), but when it comes to indentured servants yielding greater corporate profits, FAST TRACK AND EXTEND.
These guys are running a solid business. The overwhelming majority of their revenue is acquired through theft. [newsweek.com]
I'd hardly call that a "solid business."
All in all, it's hard to understand what all the fuss is about for this, it seems pretty much in line with the goals of an FFRDC to do this type of research.
Yes, all they did was merely destroy the trustfulness of the CERT process to warn EVERYONE of vulnerabilities in software, instead of delightedly handing it over to the descendants of J Edgar Hoover and not bothering to tell the software maintainers anything. This is the main point; the million pieces of silver were just added insult.
If I say "I think you're controlled by miniature robots from Pluto that hang out in your cerebral cortex", that may be a hypothesis, but it is not a scientific hypothesis.
In Barton's case, it would be well worth the effort to crack open his skull and find out, though my bet is on hard vacuum and asbestos.
It looks to me that the new algorithm offers no real speed advantage over gaussian process optimization. Rather, by making similar local approximations it gains some convergence proofs. Those are nice and all, but not often relevant to real-world applications.
Huh. You think they would have realized that more quickly.
Time to finally finish my Johnny Cab bot and sign him up as an Uber driver! Along with the Go Pros to capture the terrified looks on the vict^H^H^H^H riders' faces.
If these thieves worked for JP Morgan, Deutche Bank, Lloyds. etc, and done the exact same thing, they would not have even been investigated nor would the public had ever known.
You just have to be the right kind of thief (one with an MBA).

What is Google's 'kill rate' on even once-loudly touted services and products? Crazy-high. I suppose a 'no sacred cows' management approach prevents complacency, but it also leads everyone being more concerned about that sudden chop on the back of the neck instead of focusing on any 'vision thing'.
As I explained in my FCC complaint - you have filed one too, right? - I don't mind my provider (Cox) switching to all digital and thus requiring a box betwixt the actual cable and TV. What I do object to is not having the choice (CHOICE!) of buying my own 'tv' modem' in the market place instead of paying a lucrative monthly fee* for a box foisted upon me (and for each TV not hooked their existing DVR / box). Ironically, Cox has always allowed their customers to buy their own cable modems and use them in their system. Hell, the last new one I installed, I didn't even have to call Support; it was accepted after confirming thru the modems' web page. There is no reason whatsoever to not allow the same method on the TV side.
* - Considering how massive a buy Cox probably did to get enough boxes to cover virtually each customer they have, the cost per unit would be ridiculously low, allowing them to recoup their expenditure probably within 6 months. From then on, that $5 a month is just pure profit.
Hate to burst your stereotypical statement, but I've seen multiple Black (& other ethnic) folks "just show up" here in MS. They didn't get showered with gifts, but were treated very politely (yep, invited to, and attend local churches)--much better than how I've seen the same color folks treated in other "more enlightened" places. Maybe you better get your news from someone w/o an ax to grind...

They couldn't get the Flash exploits to work in time.
I think this is why Washington advised "Avoid foreign entanglements".
Maybe it would have been paid attention to if he'd prefaced it with "Hey, Dickheads!".
Nah; war is far too profitable for (Raytheon, et al) to stop now.

'briefly detained', to describe that he was fucking handcuffed, not given a friendly lecture by Sheriff Andy.
What's next; 'sunshine units'?

I'd call that straight-up Corporate.

Especially the 'con' part.

I can never remember: are those block or skid?
Huh. You think they would have realized that more quickly.

Oh, yeah; they also have a lot of these shitty movies in their catalog to placate the rights-holders that also own good movies.

Great to read. Now explain the flag to us.
