Our motivation for termination revolves around ethics, politics, and our primary business focus. The HackingTeam breach proved that we could not sufficiently vet the ethics and intentions of new buyers. HackingTeam unbeknownst to us until after their breach was clearly selling their technology to questionable parties, including but not limited to parties known for human rights violations.
So you were selling these hoping that it would save the whales or make the bunnies happy? You're selling vulnerabilities that you acquire. Specifically weapons and like all weapons, it's a commodity based business and you took the money. The remorse is a bit late and a bit shallow because a weapons manufacturer doesn't feign surprise when somebody gets killed with their product.
I don't know since the Patriot Act makes that largely a black hole. I don't agree with the DHS or government policy but I'm sure she clicks quite a few of the check marks. Also remember law enforcement does and can harass you, this also includes Customs agents and unfortunately for all of us the Supreme Court has upheld this premise multiple times. It doesn't make it right but I still stand by the fact that regardless of your profession, your associations may make your activities suspicious.
Laura Poitras is known as the Oscar-winning director of the Ed Snowden documentary CITIZENFOUR, and with it, one of the reporters who helped break Snowden's story in the first place. Pre-Snowden, she was a not-as-widely-known-but-still-celebrated documentary filmmaker, who also got some attention after her future colleague Glenn Greenwald wrote an article about how she was detained at the border every time she flew into the country (which was frequently, as she had made a documentary, My Country, My Country, concerning the Iraq War, along with The Oath, which reported on two Yemenis who had worked with Osama bin Laden).
You rub elbows with enemies of the state, you live in Berlin and you're wondering why you're detained? Get a fucking grip! You should also count yourself lucky that you're not getting a full body cavity search with that treatment by DHS and Customs. I'm not a lover of the DHS but in this case sorry lady you can be detained or you can just stay the hell out of the US.
For the past couple of months it seems like it's been a weekly cycle instead of once a month. Frequency and urgency of the patches brings more focus as to "why do we have this again?" There are a lot of companies out there that have Flash in their content distribution systems for Intranets and this zero day fire drill is getting old fast for quite a few of them. In the long run killing Flash is a good thing, killing Adobe would probably be better. Call it penance.
Taxi drivers are mostly independent workers, leasing a cab and pay a percentage back to the company that owns the cab or the medallion they're driving under. The only difference between them an an Uber or Lyft driver is that there are more people and local governments sucking on the bottle. These people aren't being paid under the table, they take pride in what they do and they're entrepreneurial, choosing when they want to work, just like regular cab drivers.
So from the standpoint of "illegal" the only thing that's threatened with Uber and Lyft are Cab companies, medallion holders and city governments who look to the licensing and regulation of the taxi industry as a revenue generation.
Whack-a-mole with Flash continues this week with yet another zero day vulnerability with Flash being fixed. This is unsustainable. Time for Flash to really die.
I Think Hitler's annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland was with zero casualties or shots being fired as well. If you read the terms of the agreement, such as changing the judicial system etc. Now I've definitely Godwin'd this thread.
They're just another body of knuckleheads with nothing better to do all day than debate if Pluto is a planet. I say it is, I'm bigger than they are and I take their lunch money. Pluto wins.
but... but.. he's my brother-in-law, my wife will cut me off if I don't keep lending to him. Yeah he's a deadbeat, partying all night but he's still "family."
Maybe it's just cheaper to divorce my wife and not deal with him anymore?:-P
That brother-in-law that keeps borrowing money, then borrows some more; never paying it back. Why? because they can't generate enough revenue to cover their spending. Finally when they can't seem to manage their finances at all and throw a big party, they still want more. Fiat currency arguments aside, it's probably better to let Greece figure this out on their own, with their own currency because the rest of the EU would be throwing good money after bad. Unfortunately the rest of the EU won't let that happen just yet because Italy and Spain would probably be next; it would give the UK further argument to pull out and that would mean serious trouble for the Eurozone.
Yes who would have thought that going to school for years may actually determine how you make a living in the future? I wonder if there's a correlation in income vs. obtaining a trophy spouse. I mean if I were to make $500K/yr as a plastic surgeon would there be the potential in having a hot babe as a spouse? Hmmm. Hey somebody out there, I need a grant of say $10m to study this. Thanks.

They just had 74 million prospective clients show up on their doorstep.
No they don't they don't make moral judgements. They went for an easy target-rich environment now they're trying to cash in.
put down the video games, clean up the pimples and get in shape. Things start to happen after that.
Naw Customs will just confiscate it anyway.

I make sure I fart every time a TSA agent has to hand check me. It's my little way of protesting. It's a stupid system.

Actually he got 5 women to spank him while wearing Nazi attire. Godwin'd that one now too, dammit.
Old Max Mosley won't be able to run and hide, just try and have his minions edit his past deeds away.

Humm, shall we discuss the half life of Plutonium? More interesting

If there are dwarfs, where's Snow White then?
It's like the story of the cricket and the ants. Some people work hard, others make music and dance.
So we should ban "Zorba The Greek?" Is that what you're saying? I knew it.
you may be right, the 4th Reich has risen. Wait did I just Godwin this thread?

Even if you loaned money to Greece at 1% I don't see how they'd pay it back.
