It's about following along with society. Kind of like when you're at the zoo and somebody steals grandmas purse. The security chases them and they jump into the clearly marked bear cage and get mauled.
People have time to turn themselves in and do the right thing... Opening a box of deadly poison is just like jumping in a paddock of bears.. You choose to live outside the rules and the rules got you.
if they cracked open all the seals thinking they were "getting rich", they probably opened up contained capsules of the stuff. at that point they'll have it on their hands then ingest some of it just by normally touching themselves.
There's a reason society puts this stuff in locked and sealed boxes on trucks with guards. It's not like there weren't warnings and protections in place. Dumbshits shouldn't commit armed robbery.
They didn't "steal" a truck just sitting around, they beat up (or threatened) the two drivers and removed them from doing their jobs driving the truck. They dust care about who the hurt and left on the side of the road.
This cargo was locked and guarded for a good reason by "society". If the robbers can't follow along with society's norms we just don't feel sorry when they rob deadly poison. It was locked up for a reason.
Having been robbed twice in the same week recently... Robbers don't give a damn about social order, they mug you over a phone and pocket junk. It's "fitting" when they knowingly rob something under guard and its dangerous as hell.. Society has guards and locked doors for a reason. We're happy you executive yourself because you REFUSE to follow along.
As a Protestant, the Catholic Church is still WRONG. Because they have NEVER ADMITTED what those priests did was SINNING... And that THE CHURCH led people to hell. They just promised they wouldn't "approve" more priests to do those things.
It's just like they can protest pagans having "gay marriage" but priests RAPING little boys en masse is just "normal sins" with no consequence to their JOBS. AND. They STAY priests?? Excommunicate those fuckers.
But in the high Middle Ages kings didn't have the "absolute" power they took in the post-plague era. They still had to follow basic "human" rules that the Church enforced on everybody.
The only agencies that would need NoSQL type support are the ones spying on us. My take is that the insurance industry said they would only communicate in EDI-XML formats and somebody in management though that meant buying an XML-based system to be "compatible".
They need to replace every terrorism placard and airport inspection with a disease control worker or warning. Every minute screening people as "terrorists" should instead be spent cleaning public places where traveling people accumulate and share germs. Doctors need drilled in infection control more often than profiling terrorists. Hospitals need to be granted extra money for advanced procedures to keep their spaces free of germs.. Like they are given money to prevent terrorism.
The threat of super infections is CERTAIN, just not the timing. We might get another big terrorist attack... And the people will die from infections, not injuries next time.
Until WWI the number one killer of humans was infections, even at war. We got a few decades off in the late 20th century where humans got better at killing humans, and humans got better at killing germs. But really we have only had one generation of "even odds" in the humans vs germs war ever, and that's just about over.
The problem is that they need to change the METHODS doctors use to prescribe medicines... Right now Doctors just throw random pills at stuff and just hope we get better from MINOR illnesses. We're going to have to treat minor illnesses with more "nursing" and homio-therapy that let our bodies do most of the work along with lots of cleaners like bleach to kill germs and start reserving antibiotics for serious cases under STRICT doctor control. That means no more pills sent home, lots more meds given as shot or IV so every patient, every time gets the prescribed doses... Because half-doses are a collective slow death to the little germs that survive.
Because when antibiotic resistant microbes hit the environment en masse, you scrape your knee and it just won't heal... It's ALREADY happening, just in isolated cases.
We'll be back to Jewish/Islamic style "unclean" warnings on everybody when the only way to slow germs is washing and waiting in quarantine to see if you get sick or not.
I'd say that has more to do. Only the shareholders in this case are the founders.. Who traditionally get screwed out of the actual PAYOUT of that $1billion.
The other question I'd ask is why does Facebook WANT your company? They just bought Instagram. Why isn't that doing good for them? Either they have horribly tore up their last big purchase, or they just don't know what they are doing and buying "trophies" not business partners... This ain't the 1990's.
Totally agree. A few 3am visits from the NSA, IRS, & friends will get those pesky kids back into the fold quickly.
The NSA has been operating with "the key under the mat" and an "attaboy" to the big CEOs involved, they even throw them some honest business. Cross the NSA and they send somebody to harass the CEOs directly... Company policy changes pretty quickly... The "key under the mat" becomes a more overt "moving in" on your turf.
I'd argue most of those malls ALREADY have many of those things.
Many malls are pushing 50-75 shops, so that's a LOT of electric and telco already present as well as UPS/FedEx/USPS drop points.
Malls are often near highways which is where most of the fibre got laid so it's easy to add.
Many malls already have basic backup generators (plus natural gas and such already ran) in place for stores, not to data center standards, but in place.
These shops aren't "that big" that they need major renovation into data centers, they'r plain brick boxes right now. They are more the size of a telecom CO office. It's only now that everybody is Blade servers + SAN that it would even be practical to use the space.. again because they are SMALL enough not to be a major drain on power resources like the major centers are. I understand your point, as I work for a steel melting mill and many data centers are starting to catch up with OUR power usage.
as far as security, the best security is often in plain sight. most of the abandon mall properties I see (at still used malls) are kept up on the surface pretty well. There's plenty of security already for the mall (to watch for parking lot vandals and robbers, etc)and these would not have any foot traffic to speak of.
the thing is that they probably have really solid building services. Backup generators, lots of phone service, old warehouse space, etc. They've tried turning it all into "customer space" and it hasn't worked. They could probably take half the footage of the average K-Mart and wall it back off as server space then make the remaining space more edgy... or just rent it to Amazon! but either way, if they rent what they have, then they "pay to keep the lights on" for each location and can find some other business to learn to use their space.
nobody is building NEW malls, my local mall is pitifully staffed versus 10 years ago. 1/3 is probably empty space. Most of the NICE malls in my area have shops that are decidedly "C team" because they can't fill the space with name brands anymore.
except with the big Cable companies all colluding against nationwide IT structures, having a local Sears location on every LOCAL branch of the network might make a lot of sense especially for colocation of local businesses. There are tons of businesses that really want managed services but they want to be able to reasonably "touch it" if they feel the need. putting those in a familiar place would probably flip a lot of small businesses over to their side versus nameless giants like Rackspace.
They WERE what Amazon WANTS to be... a location to pick up catalog merchandise in every town. Sears had that nailed in 1970. it was the "Internet" part that was too immature for them to see past it at the time.
You'll note JC Penny's used to have exactly the same order-to-pickup setup and they haven't really managed to parlay that into any kind of meaningful traffic either and they were not hurting for business till the last few years.
Steve finally broke them. That's why there is just "Apple Corporation" on their copyright line now. "Apple Records" was licensed back their name for $1 after selling ALL their claims to Steve Jobs for a cool Billion.... McCartney was getting another divorce without pre-nup and needed the money to get by after she cleaned him out.
The main character's job was "correcting" stored historical documents to match what was being said "right now".
The reasoning why their government must keep EVERYTHING on private people, but can obstruct and hide PUBLICLY OFFERED documents has to be really really funny!
The problem is that these business owners were ACTIVELY PART of the coup against Chavez... The poor guy in charge just can't tell his enemies anymore, and can't kill them or the CIA will assassinate him. Clearly the Bankers are playing economic games with them to buy foreign goods... And he doesn't know who to fight for it.
Unfortunately, the people who DO know how money works attempted to illegally ally with the CIA and overthrow Chavez. So they have no RIGHT to do anything but rot in jail for treason... Which Chavez was pretty cool about not outright killing them off.
Venezuela was a Tea Party wet dream. It was a Banana Republic for decades and a few families got crazy rich. Chavez popped their little bubble while we're still taking it up the ass in the USA to catch up so our workers can be treated like theirs. Now external Bankers are trying to cause instability instead of helping out... Why settle for 50% profits in the name of fairness when they can pick a fight and go back to 90% profits.
To be fair, they spent 7 years using it as a plot point. Remember the visor could see many times more spectrum than humans.. That means it could see thru walls, clothes, machines, etc depending on how it was used.
It was always clear from the show's theme, his character was expected never to misuse those abilities.. And even the captain was hesitant to request those abilities outside of "technical" tasks.... The writers thought a lot about what kind of "power" they were writing into the story and really backed off. They probably thought about privacy on a campy 80's TV show more hours than Google Execs have thought about it. Which is more than a little spooky.
Of course it was clear even in the 1980's that Starfleet had more privacy rules and personal ethics taught about use and storage of personal information than we do now. In fact his character was the focal point of several episodes about "invading privacy" of other people or securing his visor from snooping.
Google Glass doesn't have privacy protections people thought were needed in the 1980's... Let alone today.

A Chupacabra and/or Jackelope offed the original robbers and is feeding this to its babies!!!
