Consider the following scenarios where two spy agencies both use an exploit to spy on the other team.
1. Neither agency is aware the other agency has the tool. 2. Both agencies are aware the other agency has the tool. 3. One agency is aware the other agency has the tool but not the inverse.
3 is the ideal situation for your team because you can employ honeypots and misinformation so you want to be on the upper hand where you know the other side has the tool. There's no telling how many of these exploits fall into category three. It means that other intelligence agencies will be rummaging through this list of exploits to identify weaknesses and information that they didn't think the CIA knew as well as identifying any information collected with these exploits as they need to be put back under consideration on whether they are true or not.
Prior to these leaks no one knew that the CIA knew about these exploits. Now everyone knows the CIA knows about these exploits. This provides two clear problems for intelligence gathering for the CIA.
1. Other individuals and organizations will address these exploits making the exploits useless for government actors. 2. Other individuals and organizations will cease using these exploits for intelligence gathering as they're aware that the CIA knows about them. This does not mean that they don't have other exploits that can be used.
In order to effectively gather intelligence the enemy cannot know that you know what they know. This means the CIA can no longer use their knowledge of these exploits to create honeypots. Enemy actors will know and have just cause to suspect any information they gain via these exploits or avoid them to prevent any surveillance on their activities that could indicate what they're interested in.
The one innovation we tried to get buy in for that failed miserably was a significant means to reduce the amount of printing going on in the organization as well as reduce order entry errors by relying on OCR. We currently print off a document, on average, roughly 1.8 times due to having multiple physical locations all copies of which are destroyed and we have a number of digital copies of this document equivalent to approximately 3-4 times thanks to mailboxes and document management systems. The current process is a huge waste and the managers realize this and have attempted to get it addressed. It was doomed to failure despite the huge potential cost saves in printing as well as the cost savings in time with opening orders and cost savings from reduction of errors. it was doomed because the team responsible for entering the details of the orders, which the custom nature of our products make it difficult to automate that step, doesn't want to go paperless. Or rather, I should say that some members of that team have paper heavy checks and balance processes that they use that "require" the paper version of the document.
In this case it is certainly a problem of some people not being able to see the big picture it's just that the people failing to see the big picture are the entrenched individuals that don't want to change. The company I work for has been growing and a lot of people who aren't in management don't realize that their tools and processes are no longer adequate for the size of the business or for continued growth and hiring new employees. You could say that there are about three to four distinct methods of doing the same thing and the upper managers have been seemingly working towards trying to standardize but these people who resist change are the problem along with the people responsible for communicating why changes are occurring. The former only see their own little world so they see a change and how it negatively impacts them and dig in their heels and fight it tooth and nail. They don't provide helpful feedback because the people responsible for communicating to them fail at their job. Then once the update is finished, pushed to production and the old data entry interface is shut off they won't do anything but bitch about it.
I guess the point of this anecdote is that a failure to see the big picture is a problem for both the people pitching ideas as well as those who are impacted by ideas.
MS had the potential to increase their market share but I think their discarding of many of the positive aspects of WP8.x and failure to embrace Xamarin that primarily contributed to their loss of market share. When I get a new smart phone I'll be migrating from WP8 to Android. WP10 simply doesn't interest me.
The fleet drove few miles predominantly due to reducing the fleet size by 1,100 trucks. Individual drivers may have driven more, less, or the same. The summary does a terrible job at indicating that they're talking about the fleet.
It would be far too expensive to maintain or operate and ocean travel can take a long time. More likely than not a US supercarrier is going to be closer to the disaster that occurs than the repurposed Enterprise.
Oh, found out James Kirk was commissioned in 1990, which means he'll hit 30 years of commissioned service in 2020 so even if the Enterprise is commissioned in 2025 when it's scheduled to be completed Captain Kirk will be an admiral or retired.
Only about 24 carriers (Essex class) built during WW2 had a 90+ aircraft capacity. Most of the rest of those had a capacity of 24-36 aircraft and probably displaced around 11,000 tons. The Essex class had a displacement of 27,000 tons. The first supercarrier class was the Forrestal and Kitty Hawk at 60,000 tons followed by the Enterprise at 93,000 tons and the Nimitz and Gerald Ford classes at 100,000 tons displacement. Between Nimitz and Ford and the limit of 12 supercarriers in the navy you're talking a total displacement of 1,200,000. The 24 Essex had a total displacement of 648,000 tons. The remaining 552,000 tons would be equivalent to the displacement of 50 of those light escort carriers.
The odds of it are hilariously low. The first captain of CVN-80 will likely be someone who is currently ranked Commander or Lt Commander.
CVN-80 isn't scheduled for commission until 2027. There is a statutory retirement of 30 years of commissioned service. It requires a minimum of 21 years of commissioned service before you're eligible to be promoted to Captain. It is impossible for Captain James Kirk to still be a commissioned officer in the navy and have the rank of Captain because he would have hit the mandatory retirement no later than 2026.
The slim chance comes from him being promoted to the admiralty at which point if the US Navy thought it might be good press they could give him the Enterprise to command for a small period of time. It would be abnormal as admirals aren't typically given commands of individual ships as they are below their rank and it wouldn't be for a long period of time. Just for the sea trials at best and I wouldn't even expect more than a day or two.
San Jose is basely higher than the national average but don't forget that a quarter of the city's population is of Mexican descent and San Jose is the city with the largest Vietnamese population outside of Vietnam. There's a lot of lower income families in the city and I think that the infection rate can probably be correlated with any of income (you can download this for free), education, or age as these are all factors that would lead to higher risk of being infected in the first place.
My wife talks to me no matter what. Does that void any presumption of privacy that she has?
Is your wife committing a federal crime or a state crime in one of the minority of states where spousal privilege lies with the witness spouse? Are you currently legally married and not going through divorce proceedings? Were you legally married at the time she talked to you about a crime? Is the crime against you?
Let me give you the use cases. I'm currently watching Breaking Bad and started it just before Christmas.
1. I flew to San Jose for Christmas which I had roughly 6-7 hours of total flight time each way. I watched the show while on the flight. 2. While on my lunch at work I will watch the show and out of respect for my company I wouldn't eat up bandwidth unnecessarily by streaming the show over their network connection. 3. When I go out to eat a restaurant I do so by myself so I can take the tablet with me and be able to watch the show while I eat.
Basically, every use case under which I had taken books with me to read has now been supplemented by having a tablet with TV shows or movies from Netflix.
This bill reclassified various criminal offenses, including "providing false information to a clerk of the circuit court" from a Class D to Level 6 felony. It didn't create any new crimes or make the crime in question any harsher.
The "crime" of applying for marriage licenses came about from the fact that the online method of applying for marriage licenses did not permit you to select male-male or female-female as a combination as the website was created in accordance with the Indiana law that made marriage between people of the same gender illegal. Thus you had to select one spouse as male and one as female. No one has ever been jailed or even prosecuted for doing such a thing so that claim falls short as well. This crime is not specific to homosexual couples as it is with regard to giving the court false information. A couple that submitted the male spouse as female and the female spouse as male would also be equally guilty of the crime. Perhaps the more damning point against your claim that "A bigot who once made it a criminal offense for gays to apply for marriage licenses" is that homosexual couples could still apply for marriage licenses without breaking the law in question by using the paper form and crossing out the male or female section and writing in the appropriate gender.
But hey, whatever, thanks for perpetuating a falsehood to push your own narrative and belief.
In what world is a car company deciding to cancel $1.6 billion in investment for the future and replace it with only $700 billion of investment a good thing?
That sounds fabulous for the US. $700bn invested in the US instead of $1.6bn in Mexico?
It depends a lot on your accounting. A 20-year-old dumbass male might expect to have around 60 years ahead of him, most of which will be time spent in good health.
From an accounting perspective I would not credit the dumbass male any post retirement years (assume 67+) which are primarily consumptive years rather than productive and I would assume that organs would be targeted towards people who are in the age range of 16-50 (16-45 in the case of liver) to maximize the productive life of the organ transplanted. A 20 year old dumbass male would thus have lost about 46 productive years. In turn you get two kidneys (10 yrs each), 1 heart (10 yrs), 1 liver (20 yrs), lungs (5 yrs each) for a total benefit of 60 years of organ life bringing us to a net +14 years and we haven't even accounted for the rarer pancreas, or small intestine transplants. Then there's the whole topic of tissue transplants with heart valves, skin, corneas, bone, tendons, and other tissues.
There are only so many drivers and cars to go around and they are going to tend to gravitate towards the company which is most likely to have the biggest user base....
Frankly the self driving car thing is nothing but a pointless distraction from building their network as far as I can tell.
I'm going to disagree with your assessment that self driving technology is a distraction. As you said, getting more players onto Uber is far more valuable. I don't think Uber is looking to make the capital investment into a fleet of self-driving cars but rather that they're looking at self-driving technology as a means to secure more drivers once self-driving vehicles become mainstream. If a driver has a self driving vehicle and has a choice between Uber, which allows him to send out his self-driving vehicle to earn money for him when he doesn't need to use it, or Lyft, which will only pay him when he's driving, I would believe the driver would select to use the Uber platform.
