This sounds like trying to teach the kids something that should be taught by parents. I recognize that some households are bad in that area, and that the issue of poor public schools is complicated, but I do not think it wise to give MORE excuses for the parents to tune out and let the school raise their kids. Parental involvement is generally recognized as key in a good education.
His point that they can imprison you sounds like utter garbage. They can deny you entry, but I am unaware of any instance of a traveler being imprisoned SIMPLY because they didnt provide encryption keys-- what would you even charge them with?
. It may also get you thrown in prison for a while
On what charges? They may deny you entry, and detain you for a little while, but actual imprisonment without charges seems like it would be a huge constitutional issue.
The country where Salesforce is based has no significant incidence of starvation or anything resembling poverty. I dont think you can pin poverty on the actions of businesses; it is 99% of the time because of government action that poverty exists.
When companies like Salesforce come in, the standard of living and wages go UP; its absurd that people demonize successful businesses like this.
The article and all projections it mentions indicate an expectation that the sea will continue to rise and that such a system would only delay things. History tends to indicate that to be a wise expectation. Things do not last forever, and a complicated system of locks doesnt become easier or cheaper to repair as the water rises.
Any business that has no reasonable expectation of being good for society, now or in the future, should be eliminated.
Private entities dont exist by the benevolent graces of some tyrannical "society", and its sort of scary that you would frame it as such in your mind.
Its a pretty fundamental freedom for me to decide to make a living selling tents, and for you to choose to be a patron. Society as a whole has no place determining that my tents do not house enough homeless people and that I no longer have the right to run a business.
Do try to remember that society exists for individuals, not the other way around; we arent the borg, and individual rights are sort of the cornerstone of most western societies.
Sounds like the team was slacking, and you just raised the efficiency of the entire team.
Again: are you crying out for more inefficiency so that more jobs can be created? Perhaps the Panama canal should have been dug with spoons, as well: that would have created a LOT more jobs!
Synergy AFAIK is when you have tools, devices, or people who work in such a way as to be force-multipliers for each other. An example commonly comes up in MOBA games, where a character might have an attribute that causes their crititical strikes to deal bonus damage. In that case, boosting their critical strike percentage would provide synergy: the two attributes work together to create a result greater than the sum of the individual parts.
A real-world example would be a team with a competent manager. Individually, the X team members could accomplish X * Y work, while the manager alone could accomplish Y work. But the team working with the manager could perhaps accomplish 2 * X * Y work -- the manager acts as a force multiplier by triaging issues as they come in, directing team members to resources that they require, handling administrative overhead, etc. (In reality of course, X workers often do not perform Y work, but a good manager can mitigate some of the inefficiency).
The most important question when addressing "is it secure" is "what is the threat".
If your primary threat is automated brute-force-bots trying to crack your password, it is better that you have a 12-character alpha-numeric / symbolic password written next to your keyboard, than to use a weak password: it addresses your primary threat while introducing a new, lesser threat (burglary / home intrusion causing password disclosure). Of course it would be better still to do neither.
"Jeremy85", the boy in the photo on their desk and his year of birth
If it is not a matter of public record, its not awful for security. The issue isnt that Jeremy is in the photo on the desk (the attacker would need to know what on the desk was used for the password, would need to figure out who it was a photo of, etc)-- its that "jeremy+number" would be nabbed by a decent dictionary attack pretty quickly.
Again: Understanding your threat is hugely important. I see so much snake-oil security bandied about online and offline simply because people only have a vague conception of what the threats are, and so their conception of how to mitigate them are likewise vague and ineffective.
Clearly the solution is to tilt at windmills by undertaking, to quote the article, one of the most complex engineering problems, which was already claimed in a 2007 report to be wildly expensive, ineffective, and difficult.
That will solve the problem! Well, until its inevitable failure, of course.
Its hard to know if youre jabbing at companies or not. Somewhere out there, someone actually thinks its appropriate to criticize a private business for not financing a boondoogle system of locks.
that is likely still cheaper than such a massive sudden loss of existing infrastructure.
It doesnt get much more sudden than "The sea walls have failed". This seems like tilting at windmills, and apparently the original report in 2007 said as much.
Still, even with just that list we can see how nasty that stuff is.
Just because they have scary names, or because you actually recognize what they do? If youre a chemist and are familiar with them, my apologies, but it really sounds like youre scaremongering.
In what quantities? In what combinations?
The article refers to "fracking records"; I imagine that those have the information you refer to, and that the local authorities at the very least are aware of them.
If they are making money and can continue to deliver their product while reducing workforce, by what possible logic would you justify keeping on redundant jobs?
Might as well just donate the money to the workers if you wanted to do that, and call it the charity that it would be. Businesses exist to make money and provide a product, not to create jobs-- get over it.
If they didnt make money I imagine theyd tell you to go learn law yourself, and handle your own case.
Its not like you do your job (assuming you are employed) for free, do you? Its not like her law firm FORCES you to use them-- I imagine people user her because she is good at law, and as we DO live in an ostensibly free market society, she is free to charge whatever she wants. Dont like it, dont use her services, but dont act like shes done something evil because shes (GASP) successful at what she does.
How have we entered a world where being good at what you do and making money for it is the prime evil?

Agreed on just about everything else.
Man I love mb3 files.
have been compelled to turn over their passphrases just because encryption just makes it look like you have something to hide.
Has there been a court-case establishing this? Can you give an example where there was not already probable cause?
His point that they can imprison you sounds like utter garbage. They can deny you entry, but I am unaware of any instance of a traveler being imprisoned SIMPLY because they didnt provide encryption keys-- what would you even charge them with?
what exactly is border-jail? Can you find me a legal basis / definition, or name one?

Of course the pay their "fair share" as legislated by congress. If they did not, the IRS would be all over them.
Are you seriously blaming a company for paying only the taxes that they are required, and not more?

Once again, if they can continue to be as successful with fewer employees, by what logic are you promoting that they be inefficient in job assignment?
Salesforce making money isnt a bad thing, however derogatorily you try to frame things. Its a little absurd that success is now seen as a vice.

An interesting revision of language, to be sure.

Your contempt of America is hillarious, though I might note that the Luddites were originally of English origin.

It sort of looks to me like (after a 2 second google search) all the chemicals are disclosed. Or do you have a source that says otherwise?

I assume you also get paid for fixing whatever problems your profession is concerned with. You absolute MONSTER!
Even your own sources call it a rumor and a conspiracy theory. Thats not terribly convincing.
