... Sure, you can get rid of some dead wood that way too, but the overall effect is disastrous. A real manager know that, but Mayer has shown several times now that she does not even understand the basics of management.
I'm guessing that by the time it has any effect she has already secured her bonuses thanks to her unprecendented cost-cutting measures... Planning beyond a quarter year is so 50's.
It doesn't matter, because the people raising the complaints don't understand software engineering in the slightest. If anyone here has ever released a first version of entire multi-function web-application without a lot of bugs on release day, they almost certainly spent a positively absurd amount of time(like a year or more) on nothing but QA.
Every single person inside our industry ought to know that software engineers produce 10x as many features as other engineers with 1000x as many defects(and that's low balling it) in a given timespan.
All I know is +$200m website budget(in excess of $600m total for entire system) pays for a lot of QA and since the project appearently didn't even go to the lowest bidder they dont get to claim lack of resources...
Also there is a world of difference between having bugs and being incapable of performing to the minimium requirement specification.
Photons are not non-existant, simply because they are harder to catch does not mean one cannot cannot interact with them.
It's impossible to steal gravity, yet gravity exists.
Gravity is a function of mass, entities with mass can be stolen barring one extreme edge case where it kinda gets tricky who steals whos body of mass. That edge case also eats your light for breakfast if you wander too close.
It's impossible to steal the idea in this comment, yet the idea exists.
About as fair as a gourmet restaurant owner suing every grocery store in town out of existance for poaching his 'customers'.
Punchline: Even with all the grocery stores gone the people still cannot afford to dine in the restaurant, and some cant even enter because 'we dont serve people living in your neighborhood'.
The fact that the site (owners) profited to the tune of multiple millions of dollars by facilitating copyright infringement kind of rubs me the wrong way.
I agree, US govt should give them the same treatment they give the banks that laundry untold of billions of cartel drug money made by murder of tens of thousands.
The Net worth of the company is irrelevant in determining the damages. If a guy in a in a factory fresh Porsche Cayenne SUV runs you down and leaves you paralyzed, are you any less paralyzed if it had been a barely runing 30 year old Ford Econoline? No. The worth of IsoHunt might be relvant to determining punitive damages, but they didn't seem to be at that stage yet.
Except in order to claim damages for being run over by a car and left paralyzed you actually need to be paralyzed after getting run over by a car.
And as for the other kind of hashish, I hear they do have quite lovely cannabis strains, industrial and food hemp cultivation being perfectly legal and unless my google-fu has failed me the ban on THC containing products seems to be rather rarely enforced unless you try to cross a border with it or piss someone off.
So you'd rather have fire department, ambulances and police as a subscriber service? Fuck the poor, I'm not paying for public roads, lazy peasants should buy their own fucking helicopters and jets if they want to get around!
When you consider that only a dozen gallons of it contains enough energy to transport a vehicle loaded to 3,000 lbs over 400 miles, it's hard to imagine getting any similar amount of energy into a container and not have be incredibly dangerous.
Can you please point to documentation which states that anyone investigated came to any contact with any hitmen? It was an FBI setup initiated by the FBI? The other was a scam initiated by a scammer, was it not?
How do you think the soviet purges were justified?
You ought to re-read what I said more carefully, I said the exact opposite. I said Soviet Purges were simply about killing people who disagree with you...
...Whereas the guy DPR paid to have killed(who didnt get killed) posed an existential threat(according to the extorers own claim) to him and his community, making it a pretty legimitate struggle for existance
If your society involves murdering witnesses for declaring what they've witnessed, it isn't better.
Except according to FBI the 1st 'victim' was attempting to exort money by threatening to destroy the lives of thousands of normal people?
And the 2nd 'victim' was actually FBI setup?
I fail to see the murder youre declaring to have happened.
You seem to be unable to comprehend what has been said, almost like you understood what I said for the exact opposite what was actually communicated in the previous message.

When's the last time you heard of a gas powered car catching fire because it ran over something without crashing.
Quite a handful of cars just lit up seemingly at random in regular traffic. I think last time I saw picture of one in the news was last month.
Whats the rate of regular cars catching on fire vs. Teslas?
Anyone have any statistics handy?

Google should just serve a static page to french addresses explaining who's demanding cessation of services. Problem solved.
Silly me, shouldn't trust untrusthworthy news sources...

On a more serious note, what systems were vulnerable and what was the payload?
It's impossible to steal light, yet light exists.

Ideas dont exist in the literal sense.

If stealing something is a literal impossibility then the said entity is imaginary.

After all, considering all that pirates have done
Intangible implies something exists. If I can "steal" your "property" by merely scribbling words on paper you never had any in the first place.
The Net worth of the company is irrelevant in determining the damages. If a guy in a in a factory fresh Porsche Cayenne SUV runs you down and leaves you paralyzed, are you any less paralyzed if it had been a barely runing 30 year old Ford Econoline?

adjective 1. existing only in the imagination or fancy; not real; fancied: an imaginary illness; the imaginary animals in the stories of Dr. Seuss.
MPAA demanding money for imaginary damage done to imaginery property? Pay them with monopoly money.
No Hashish either.
I'm afraid you're wrong there. Hashish, Iran
And as for the other kind of hashish, I hear they do have quite lovely cannabis strains, industrial and food hemp cultivation being perfectly legal and unless my google-fu has failed me the ban on THC containing products seems to be rather rarely enforced unless you try to cross a border with it or piss someone off.

That's like prescribing vodka to an alcoholic.
It gets worse!
We also give money and healthcare to poor people!
reduction of surface area leads to reduction of effect. imagine that. duh. why didn't they try that sooner? that woulda been top on my list.
Then it is most unfortunate you didn't share this information with them years ago, asshole.

Solar panel. *ducks*
Yes but in your analogy the gun would be literally handed to you by the government in a situation set up by the government...
Can you please point to documentation which states that anyone investigated came to any contact with any hitmen? It was an FBI setup initiated by the FBI? The other was a scam initiated by a scammer, was it not?
No hitmen involved?
