Well for many things you really have to put a value on life.
We can save lives by putting up massive crush barriers between the streets and the sidewalks and putting pedestrian tunnels or overpasses at each and every intersection in the US. The cost would be enormous. In the end it would be a really bad choice because IT (the cost) would not be WORTH IT (the lives saved).
Of course as people we do not say that 100 lives are just not worth a 400 billion dollar expenditure. But we, even as individuals do inherently assign a value to a life nonetheless.
I think the real idea here is that you spot an exploitable bug. You inform those who are responsible to fix it. You wait (while making sure they are working furiously on a patch.). If they are working hard toward a fix you continue to wait till it is fixed or out in the open anyway. If they blow you off and state that "they will get around to it" you let it fly.
Is it though feasible to set up the the system so those controllers can go home, login to a VPN and have a nation wide system that they can load their area into and continue work?
Reroute the data to a cloud service have the PCs remote into virtual workstations and have the radio fed through the same system. Small amount of latency, but should not be an issue. Hell. Build out the whole system on the same frame work and distribute the hell out of the workloads.
Umm. Did you read anything. I actually trust the situation quite a bit. Google has previously funded through Stanford research that has cost Google money.
Might have something to do with the fact that until the government stepped in and raised all our insurance costs that women were more expensive for a company to insure than men. Women take more sick/personal days on average than men. Women are more likely than men to take maternity leave.
Over the course of a few years women are more expensive than men per unit of work. So companies react accordingly.
So the fact that you can Opt out of the personalization of ads based on your private usage data.
Apple states that by opting out your ads will be less relevant.
You may see the same number of ads as before; however, they may be less relevant because they won't be based on your interests.

Also I never stated that you are not the product of Google. I did state that they do not treat you that way. Google treats me much better than Apple does. The fact that you need to yell about and cuss does not make your point suddenly more valid.
You can visit the Apple site above. Then you can Opt out of their personalized ads and tracking.
Then. You can state again how they do not personalize your ad content based on personal information.
Dude! You are awesome. You have to tell me though. Do you actually believe the things you just said or are you just in it for the lols and the altruistic aim of entertaining everyone around you?
No. The original comment was that Apple sees you as a customer and not as a product. This is untrue. If you look at it even though Google makes most of its money off of you as a "Product" they treat you like a really great customer. You get all kinds of "Comped" and "Free" services. The stuff you do buy )Android, Google Apps for Business) are fairly open and allow you to take all your info with you if you leave and Google even shows you all the stuff they have on you and allows you to selectively delete the information or keep it as you see fit. Apple does everything it can to lock you in and lock you down. If anything Apple seems to see you as a slave that is lucky to be allowed to use their products at all. The info that they do collect on you and sell to third parties most people do not even know about. If you do know about it you are not allowed to see what they have on you and sell much less remove what you want from it. The only thing you can do is opt out if you were smart enough to read through their 90 page agreement (EULA / Disclaimer / Fuck you and the horse you rode in on ) is to opt completely out,
Apple will never let you see what personal info about you they are selling. Google will not sell the info. They use it themselves to target the ads for companies. I know Google uses information to target ads to me. It is not hidden. Most people know this. We know it and can see it and can delete what we do not like. Apple people do not know and most will run around and tell me that Google is evil and selling all my info. (Google uses my info to target ads, Apple sells my info so others can do whatever.)
Until you can see that Apple is as bad or worse than Google when it comes to the stewardship of your personal information then you have no business talking about it.
How do you think they "Target" ads? They sell your info. Your defense here is something along the lines of "Its ok because they are not making as much money from targeting their ads as Google."?
Sure. You go right ahead and click the agreements for your iDevices and iSoftware. Do not bother to read it. Apple loves you and would never sell information on you for profit to their "Partners". I bet no matter how hard you look you will never see... Ohh, wait.
No. That is the problem. They think that forcing others to do good will make them feel better, but it does not. That is why they are never satisfied. They must always fill that hole. If they would just get off their asses and hand out food at a soup kitchen that hole would be filled and they would feel better and the world would be a better place.
But that is not how the government wants us to be. So entitlements and division are the carrot and stick they use to keep us on the path.
I was pretty sure it could not be explained to you. So I did not.
Others though tried. As I predicted their effort was in vain. Much like a person vested in being a Democrat or a Republican in order to to be ok with your bad decisions you must see all evil in the other guy and all good in your side.
Sad really how the media has turned everyone into a fanboy. (Apple, Android, Liberal, Conservative, Democrat, Republican) All you can really do is hide in your little safe corner where your previous decisions are safe from your own scrutiny.

The Value of Life
You can (and should in this case) run your own private cloud for something like this.
I know it is all the rage to be an ass. You fail at it though and still look like an ass.

Do you have a "link" to this universe?
Umm. Did you read anything. I actually trust the situation quite a bit. Google has previously funded through Stanford research that has cost Google money.
Do you believe studies funded by the oil Industry?
Just as much as the studies funded by those who hate the oil industry.
Over the course of a few years women are more expensive than men per unit of work. So companies react accordingly.
How about we do not let public sector lazy fucks spend our money.
Not if it is incandescent.

I see people all over linking their Facebook to many sites. Never thought I would see it on /.
Eyes are Googles product. They treat their inventory really well too.
Maybe you should take a look at targeted iAds.
You lose. 15 years in October.
Is this where you could opt out of iAds tracking?
Interesting. I am sure they give away targeted ads to their advertising partners for free though. Because they do not want you to look like a fool.

I feel guilty driving a newer model Honda Civic knowing that if I bought something cheaper I could maybe feed someone less fortunate.
So then do it. You are not going to feel better by diverting tax money.
they see you as a customer, not as a product.
Ha Ha HA! OMG that is awesome.
explain.
If it has to be explained to you then it can not be explained to you.
