Part of the problem there is the way parents freak out over minor injuries now. I remember well when I would fall and get a scrape, Dad would feign deep concern for the damage my knee did to the driveway. That really took the edge off and let me know that things were more or less OK even if it hurt. Of course, at the same time Mom or Dad would clean it up and put a band-aid on if whether it was needed or not.
That goes back to my original statement. Browsers really should be able to conditionally trust a CA like that, and users should be able to set conditions on trust, but no browser has either feature currently. It should be part of the standard, but that might have cut into sales so it was right out of the question.
You can add exceptions for individual certs, but only if you either blindly trust them or use an external mechanism to validate the signature. But you can't, for example, set the browser to trust a cert signed by the U.S. government ONLY if the cert is for a domain in *.gov.
Worse, most of the brokenness including not being able to sign sub-certs with a cert from my primary domain and the lack of conditional trust are driven by the desire to sell more certs rather than security concerns or technical limitations.
It's a matter of who they MIGHT create a fake cert for if they want to snoop. Are you sure you would trust relax.trust.us.gov to never ever issue a fake cert for gmail.com even if the FBI says pretty please and pinky swears they'll get a warrant eventually?
The problem is the whole system is set up so you either trust a key signer for any key they sign or you don't trust them at all. There isn't currently a mechanism where you can conditionally trust a key signed by a government.
I was in the 2nd grade the year we did DST in January. Far from scary darkness, the kids loved it. It was an excuse to carry a flashlight to walk to the bus stop (pretty cool when you're 7 years old). I'm sure some parents FEARED for safety, but since we had flashlights, we couldn't have been that hard to see.
You missed the part where it turned out that SCO didn't actually own any of the source that went into the Linux kernel. Also the part where evidence suggests they knew that but figured they could grab a few million off of IBM.
Now, they're claiming IBM distributed code as part of AIX that they were only permitted under a technicality. They wish for the court to find that the technicality was too thin.
Now, consider what might have constituted "Hard to pronounce", the fact that many slaves HAD no last name, and how much say a slave might get in what they're called.
No, not really. THINK about it. people brought over as slaves were given arbitrary english names in many cases. I doubt that naming was particularly creative. Their descendants are still here and still have one of the fairly small and unimaginative last names assigned to their ancestor 150 years ago/
Taking a deliberately simple analogy literally is what is absurd. My implication is that someone making 60K in SF may be worse off than someone making 15K in a developing nation.
The absolute numbers are nearly meangless. If you make $10 a month but a weeks groceries cost $0.50 and a luxury apartment runs $2.00, you're doing quite well. If you make $5000/month but rent is $4500 for a hole in the wall and food is $400/week, you're in deep guano.
Lowering military spending on hardware is good, but won't close the gap these days. As Warren Buffett pointed out, his tax rate is lower than his assistant's these days.
If adding buzzword compliance to a name causes a 394% jump, it's not 'some'. Honestly, if you want to picture the stock market, imagine a coop filled with 1000 chickens. Now yell BOO!
The simple fact is that money attracts money. If you have the typical person's tiny pile, it will be sucked into someone else's pile. If you get a small loan of a million dollars from your dad after he pays a doctor to say you have draft-disqualifying bone spurs, you'r pile will suck money in from those smaller piles faster than the bigger piles out there suck it back out..
When your pile gets big enough, you just yell DO-OVER when things go bad and it will actually happen!
Transmission goes out and you can't go to work and you're $100 short to get the car back, meh. Self-induced real estate and fraudulent certificates bubble pops and crimps the hookers and blow fund, OMG BAILOUT!!! Cops know NOTHINK!
You're nearly 30 years out of date. On '80s era HDs, it's true, a single overwrite of the data would leave traces sufficient that given some very expensive equipment and a very expensive analysis, the data could be recovered. On modern drives, even a single overwrite with zeros is sufficient to make the data irretrievable.
Monsanto — and farmers who want to use dicamba — have been fighting back. In Arkansas, where state regulators proposed a ban on dicamba during the growing season next year, Monsanto recently sued the regulators, arguing that the ban was based on "unsubstantiated theories regarding product volatility that are contradicted by science." The company called on regulators to disregard information from Jason Norsworthy, one of the University of Arkansas' weed researchers, because he had recommended that farmers use a non-dicamba alternative from a rival company. Monsanto also attacked the objectivity of Ford Baldwin, a former university weed scientist who now works as a consultant to farmers and herbicide companies.

That doesn't help when new parameters are added. How am I supposed to set a value for a parameter that doesn't exist yet?

What's strange is they didn't think of a lockbox that sits outside for securing packages.
That would raise the bar considerably.

Several northern states are considering going from Eastern to Atlantic time, effectively springing ahead and never falling back.

Now, name any case where a crappy IOT device faced a fine or forced recall for any reason.
Somewhat like that, only moreso.

You should probably ask your mommy or daddy to explain analogies to you.

Or you have a family and your employment status recently changed.

Infrastructure, affordable healthcare, not collecting income tax from people who earn less than even the average income, etc.
