From where I live, the flight to Las Vegas is fairly long. Dehydration leads to raging thirst, and oxygen deprivation cripples my cerebral cortex so badly I usually wind up allowing the small auxiliary brain located just below my belt buckle to do most of the decision making.
Unfortunately, abstinence and virtuous behaviour are not exactly its strong suit.
That also sounds like an excellent idea. What really, really annoys me is that average people can come up with these in a minute or two. If they wouldn't work right out of the box, they could certainly be adapted by experts quickly enough.
If I'm going to sign into a password-protected site, I'll either have my password or admit fairly quickly I've forgotten it, and have the site initiate whatever reset procedure is appropriate. Under no circumstances will I need a couple of billion tries to access whatever it is the site holds for me.
I've always wondered why any site that feels it necessary to protect your access by demanding a password would allow a program clearly designed for gaining unauthorized access to blast billions of possible passwords at it until one worked.
How about, after an arbitrary number of attempts, say 10, characters entered into the password window would only be accepted at about the typing speed of an average person. For real people, no discernible difference; for a hacking program, frustration.

There's lots of valid career paths that could lead to a job in IT, and I would normally accept any reasonable explanation for how she got the job
They tried to cover her academic qualifications up, though, which leads me to a slightly different conclusion...that she got the job by composing an original piece with a title something like, "Duet for Skin Flute and Tulips".
As mentioned elsewhere, Forbes' claim that states with the lowest wages, the worst life expectancy, the worst education, the worst health care and the worst you-name-it are "better off" because the cost of living is sometimes a hair lower is both ridiculous and amusing.
I knew I was into the deep bullshit when Forbes tried to claim states with the worst health care, worst education, worst life expectancy, lowest average wage, worst...well, worst just about everything were somehow better off.
Thanks, my friend. That's the funniest thing I've read today.
1. Holy crap there are many other sites that report exactly the same thing. That's because the numbers come from places like the Congressional Budget Office, which don't play politics with their numbers.
2. It's actually pretty much exactly that simple. Time after time, the Blue States elect more liberal, more progressive governments than the Red States. They also contribute more to the country.
3. A lot of those Red States are even more dependent on federal government support, especially for agriculture. And the numbers don't even include Red Staters who graze their cattle on public land and mine/drill in public parks.
So the situation is likely even more lopsided than presented in the link. Red Staters are even more parasitical than that.
Even if Equifax is found to have been careless with all that vital personal information, I doubt they'll get more than a slap on the wrist.
Why should corporations, government or the courts give a crap about people's privacy, when so many of the people themselves very obviously couldn't care less?

It is only small compared to the Main Brain. It is larger than most other Auxilliary Brains...at least according to available demographic information.

Well said. At least force the spy to remove data from the facility physically.
"Mr. Liu told them he was there to discuss doing business with the company..."
Yes. Obviously. Exactly like a fox goes into a hen house to "do business" with the chickens.

Yeah, that would work.

No. Trump did. Please try to keep up.

Fixed that for you!

You deserve a lot more than a 0 for that, my friend.

Seriously, how many streaming services do these people think we'll fork out for? It's like they're begging us to hoist the Jolly Roger.
One quarter of the currently known ads were targeted geographically. The others used other criteria.
The level of asshattery is staggering sometimes...
You have no idea who they targeted. Do you imagine they're so simple-minded as to preach to the choir?
Moron.
They certainly have a track record for being...economical...with the information they provide, don't they!
