Why do the thieves need a "compromised" device to harm others? They can do exactly the same with uncompromised devices that they bought themselves. You made an invalid comment.
Erm, no, they can't.
They can compromise millions of devices (which would be a bit much to buy), and use them (with their millions of separate connections) to launch denial of service or brute force password attacks. These are called "botnets". You may have heard of them:)
The attacks are coming from all different IP addresses so that intrusion detection systems can't block excessive attempts. And obviously tracing them is a bit more difficult.
You can't just do that with uncompromised devices that you bought yourself.
Stupid government requiring businesses and consumers to avoid unnecessarily hazardous practices.
I too an uncomfortable with mandates to use GFCIs in the kitchen and bathroom, carry gasoline in approved containers, not leave my keys in a running car when I go to the store, and all the rest.
You should merely be in favor of me doing so, and trust that I wish for you to avoid electrocution, conflagration, and general mayhem.
I would be against such a mandate and depend upon customers pressuring their vendors to change their behavior using the most effective tool known: their wallets.
Oh, you were serious. *snicker* All 0.01% of you that might use that as a pre-purchasing criterion will surely justify the expense.
Right, because life is completely binary, and either you favor the most safety regulation humanely possible, or else that means you are in favor of babies juggling electrified knives.
You mean downloading Megs of jQuery just so I can do a couple of $("#content").html("Text") is slowing things down? How could that be document.getElementById("content").innerHTML = "Text" is much longer to write.
If that were all that jQuery did, you'd have a point.
jQuery abstracts away browser bugs and differences, just for one (huge) thing.
It also makes things easy that are a huge PITA to implement in JavaScript.
Yes, nothing you can do with jQuery can't be done with plain JavaScript - after all, jQuery is written in plain JavaScript. But you could just as well say that nothing you can do in C can't be done in assembly.
At least in coffee and paper towels, Amazon has clearly labeled these under a section headed "Our Brands", or had "an Amazon brand" or something like that showing.
It was no secret, and it bothered me not at all, no more than store brands in grocery stores.
We wouldn't want the apex of our legal system to get infected with any silly ideas about innocent until proven guilty, or needing evidence, or crazy #$%^ like that.
They can be outraged and demand action as soon as employees with other political leanings can complain about any other employee that is shown on television participating in a cause that outrages them (take your pick). Just because you work somewhere does not mean that everything you do represents the official policy of the company. We need to get back to having a separation between our work lives and our private lives.
Ideas have consequences. They have been virtue signalling for so long that they confuse it with actual virtue.
But how will we hector the common folk into stone age living (well, except for their ipads, electric cars, and other trendy stuff) if we can recapture carbon??
could further relax regulations because of the assumption that a little pollution is actually beneficial
Where exactly is this "assumption" made?
And parenthetically, you do know that small percentages of something might be beneficial, right? The way to find out would be to study it, not just assume that even one bazillionth has to be harmful because reasons.
Personally I think a judge presiding over the highest court in the land, hired to be a legal and moral compass, should have to bear the burden of demonstrating they aren't scum.
In response to any baseless accusation?
So if I had said that Ruth Ginsberg behaved inappropriately with me when I was in high school, but I had no evidence, she would have had to prove otherwise?
Because people never lie (or get others to lie) to achieve hugely valuable political goals?

I wonder what the unintended consequences will be.
You speak blasphemy! We can legislate puppies and sunshine, with no drawbacks or costs!
What, are you against puppies and sunshine??

They have knowledge of what sells from other parties, what's popular.
They then manufacture those products and directly compete on their sales platform, with full knowledge of sales and pricing of their competitors.
What's that smell? Federal intervention.
How is that different from, say, Walmart having a store brand to compete with name brands that it sells?
(Pick another grocery chain for the example if you must, it doesn't change the point)
At least in coffee and paper towels, Amazon has clearly labeled these under a section headed "Our Brands", or had "an Amazon brand" or something like that showing.

Both Amazon and Apple have vehemently refuted Bloomberg's reporting.
They haven't "refuted" it, they've "denied" it. Or perhaps "rebutted" it.

Yeah, what struck me is he/they plan on shipping metric tons, in the end they will probably just be archaic US short tons.
Excellent ... miles, quarts, and fathoms, used all over the moon, bwa ha ha!!!!!!

and the idea that 'rote' learning doesn't lead to understanding is somewhat of a myth that isn't supported by the research.
Yes, it's hard to escape the suspicion that the people who are always hatin' on "rote learning" are those who are just really, really bad at teaching.
were tested using genetically modified bioluminescent bacteria from E. coli."
They're toxic to E.coli? I just might be OK with that.
(Based upon his limited social media postings, Hagar appears to be more interested in conservative politics than in space these days).
Why, that's terrible!
I'm sure glad that leftists have no interest in politics!

Giving up your life savings for standard hardware is a much better plan.
So if I received death threats, that would prove that Ginsburg had got handsy with me?
Nobody "deletes" anyway ... disk space is way cheaper than data loss.

Whether that works or not, your records are still there ...

I guess stealing a Cessna or dirigible or van, or semi and loading it up with fertilizer will never go out of style. /s
It at least reduces the size of the arsenal that can fly over walls and fences ...
Grow up.
I have - I believe in innocent until proven guilty.
Our society, however, is regressing into believing that certain kinds of allegations must mean that the accused is guilty unless proved innocent.
It matters very much what you think is credible, and how you determine that.
it also gives the federal government power to take down a private drone if it's seen as a "credible threat."
Since accusations are automatically "credible" if they are from women, this means that any drone reported by a woman is toast.
... for something completely different. A story that references the previous dubious story!
So it's not a dupe, OK?? It's not, I tell you!
These facilities would be responsible for dosage and purity and could handle routine bad trips that would result in emergency room visits.
Um, yeah ... so "routine bad trips that would result in emergency room visits" are what you don't get with caffeine.
So, it is worse than caffeine.
