Nope, you're right. In addition to the construction costs, the security cost will be massive and ongoing forever, and I don't buy the idea that tourists want to take a 30 minute ferry ride to ride a ferris wheel with okay views of the harbor and skyline.
This is obviously a bug, but if anyone is actually hurt by this, they shouldn't have been posting their idea to Kickstarter in the first place. Markets will not be affected by a pre-production, pre-funding idea becoming public knowledge earlier than it should have: Anyone who could act on such info would have done so when it became live, anyway.
Boeing is doing the same thing with their 787 Dream Tour: They outfitted a test aircraft with a semi-realistic interior to fly around customers, suppliers and media. It is not a full production model...the plane still wears "Experimental" badges warning that it does not meet federal safety regulations and many of the seats are not usable as they are not certified for whatever reason. That said, when I flew it, I was completely confident that Boeing wouldn't do any hot dogging to impress us, and they didn't. It wasn't a sightseeing trip, they let the passengers concentrate on the plane.
The article seems to give all the credit to this Imperva company, who sounds like maybe the source for most of the story. This could mean they convinced a NY Times reporter to write an unverifiable story to boost they're street cred, or maybe they're actually better at defending websites than the Feds.
TSA is already allowed to handle ALL modes of transport. TSA screens passengers at some Amtrak stations. The NYPD subcontracts TSA to perform random screening at subway stations (it's cheaper than having cops search bags). TSA also recently started set up some checkpoints along interstates.
Revenue from cloud services: 1.5%
Retail revenue lost from consumers who will forever link one of the greatest breaches in history with the Amazon brand: Priceless
Usually email marketing databases include a lot more than name and email. They can include identifying demographic info such as home address, sex, age, income, and more to allow for message targeting. Now it's possible that these guys only took names and emails as Kroger and US Bank have announced, but I wouldn't be surprised of Epsilon perhaps underplayed the severity of the breach to their clients.
What would make a company that has no "real" assets that valuable?
Their brand alone is a valuable real asset.
The data mined from their users' profiles is for the most part very real, as well. Most of the value lies therein.
As far as I know it was never confirmed that they used boxcutters...no one really knows what they used since all the witnesses are dead and most of the evidence destroyed.

They do ship most of them by air. FedEx made a shit ton off the iPhone 5 launch.

The wheel is to be built in a wasteland section of NYC which currently attracts zero tourists.
How is an OS that only runs white-listed software more vulnerable?
NASA probably used special $3 billion taxpayer-funded microphones for their launches, whereas cost-conscious SpaceX bought theirs at Best Buy.

Typo perhaps? Instead of 100 percent, it should have read 100 fold?
Also, there is no such thing as the National Republican Committee. It's the Republican National Committee (RNC).
FTA: "Indian law requires the government to negotiate a contract with the lowest bidder." That would seem to be the end of it.
Sounds like he knew he had a major malfunction and was trying to land. Air traffic controllers are heard screaming expletives.

I used Kim's 72 day marriage as the basis, but yours works too.
Or 694,444 Kardashians.
Universities can adapt much more easily than government- and union- dominated public high schools.

"The secret to the new atomic clock on a chip is a solid-state laser illuminating a tiny container holding normal non-radioactive cesium vapor."
There's a whole season of "The Wire" about this very topic.

Not sure how or why, but they still get a shit-ton of traffic and Yahoo Mail has 3x as many users as Gmail.

How else would they have any stats?
GM should have built an augmented reality gaming system into the windshield so they could make up the loss by selling new software.
