So the Postal service is still the most secure legally protected method for sending data. Just mail CDs.
The USPS scans all mail
The USPS monitors mail on behalf of the feds without any authorization.
What's to stop them from opening it without a warrant? Sorry but the whole system is controlled and abused by your favorite government officials.
Sidenote: CDs were replaced by DVDs and now Blu Rays. Just fyi if you want to send more than 700mb of crap.
Also, we need to have more surveillance. This could have been prevented if we just allowed the government to track us all the time and listen to every conversation and see every email.
Oh right, they already do that. Well, we need to invent something more invasive. Think of the Cartoonists!
Unlike ecommerce sites that are open to any new customers, it seems a bank could easily have warded off such an attack with a Bayesian or other learning algorithm. Assuming two-factor auth, you have a list of all of your clients most common authenticated IP addresses. Add those to an allow or positive factor list. Then take all unknown IPs and add them to a negative list. When you are being overwhelmed by a DDOS, the negative list can simply be discarded while the positive list has priority at the router. While this would not entirely stop the effects of a DDOS it should make it a much more underwhelming attack rather than a an all-out crippling of infrastructure.
The headline is highly misleading. It should read '65% of Cancers Types Caused by Bad Luck, Not Genetics or Environment'. This means the steep rise of cancer can be attributed to the 33% types that now take a larger share and depend on environmental or genetic factors. You need really careful with omitted words as people want to see and hear what they want and not what you want to converse. I guess a lot of don't regulate us, let's pollute and save money guys will soon join the bandwaggon.
Indeed, let me rephrase. No wait, let me sum up.
Remove the two largest types of cancer, breast and prostate, from the analysis. Then apply the remaining "types" of cancer, and state that 65% of those are not attributable to known factors. This is a "study" in hijinx that no one should read. People are pointing fingers at/. but it was initially picked up at WSJ - which should never be posting such muck.
Instead of getting lost in the fear factor of this thing, look at it this way. Percentage of total registered vehicles in the US:
Cars/Wagons 54%
Pickup trucks 18%
SUVs 12%
Minivans 9%
Trucks 3%
Motorcycles 3%
Now, remove those Cars and Station wagons, they have no relevance to my study.
I have been able to prove that SUV Drivers are at the Highest Risk of Injury in a Vehicle. Why? Because pickup trucks have a slightly lower incidence of injury and I have excluded cars. But Wait! Did you know that the majority of the remaining vehicles are also over 4' tall? I now have a new study. Study proves all Motorcycle Fatalities caused by SUVs and other oversized vehicles.
Well that was just some deductive reasoning. Remember I removed cars entirely? The other 2% were traffic barriers, bicyclists and pedestrians "known factors". You buy into that kind of crap and we know you are heading to stupiderville in a hurryboat.
Fuck the WSJ study and any asshole that dares to be fearmongered into believing that shit so that some sucktwit lobby group can go out and petitiion even dumber politicians that we need to impose a "35% liability limit" on all cancer lawsuits because 65% "just can't be explained!"
Well that brings me to a fun story of how I got into D&D. I was trucked off by my parents to Florida one summer to stay with a relative for a few weeks. Lucky me there was a hobby store nearby and I had stashed a jar of quarters that had been untapped all year. After looking around for a few hours (what else was there to do in Florida when you're 14?), I found the D&D books, they were already second edition but something about them intrigued me. They were way beyond the scope of playing a video game (we're talking monochromatic consoles/handhelds back then), but they offered so much wealth in terms of creation and exploration. I made the decision to buy a kit complete with DM Guide, Monster Manual and a few starter adventures. I went to the register to inquire if my terms could be met.
I asked the nice lady behind the counter "Can I pay with all quarters (in my New York accent which I didn't know until that day that I had one)" To which the lady replied "What are kawters?". I hadn't brought any with me, so it took me a few minutes to explain that 25% of a dollar was a coin that had a $0.25 value. When she finally got it she said "Oh you mean Kwat-ers." I came back the next day and paid with my Kwa-ters, laughing the whole way.
It's one of those things you never forget, and part of it was because it was about D&D, a game that literally helped saved the bored skull of a preteen.
In the end, I actually became friends with someone I never got along with previously, simply because we wound up at a rather raucous D&D game together. Still best friends decades later.
Bart: I'm rapidly becoming a big underground success in this town. Jim: See? In another twenty-five years, you'll be able to shake their hands in broad daylight.
Hedley Lamarr: My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Taggart: God darnit, Mr. Lamarr, you use your tongue prettier than a twenty dollar whore.
The cost of the Cloud is cheap. And for IT, we just say "not as secure, but if you're okay with that, go ahead" and when the Cloud services fail, or get breached or whatever, the CIO can simply say "not my fault, that was your choice". The real cost is hidden.
It's the security of the infrastructure that matters. A company is rarely going to lose their shirt because someone found their marketing material in cyberspace, two weeks before it would be released. Of course your mileage may vary.
A few weeks ago an older relative asked me "What's all this We're up for Mexican Lucky about?" I was admittedly boggled.
Turns out he thought We're up all night to get lucky sounded like a nice riff about gambling across the border.
Yet, despite common ground with some of the findings of the Committee’s Study, we part ways with the Committee on some key points. Our review indicates that interrogations of detainees on whom EITs were used did produce intelligence that helped thwart attack plans, capture terrorists, and save lives. The intelligence gained from the program was critical to our understanding of al-Qa’ida and continues to inform our counterterrorism efforts to this day.
Just when will the CIA get off its high horse of believing that this program, in its former form, or any newer form, produces value for the American citizen or state as a whole? They need to stop defending this indefensible stance that it's okay as long as the CIA is in charge of capturing, detaining, violating rights, and denying everything it does or has ever done.
So The Onion's online edition is essentially worth some small fraction of what a reader is willing to pay for their $1 to visit 50 websites per day. I guess that amounts to about $0.05 per subscriber or considering 10 pageviews per visitor that's $5 CPM. No matter how bad ads are, they pay out closer to $20 RPM for USA visitors and most of these companies claim they are barely breaking even right now. How would getting less revenue help more?
What will you do for the students who don't want Google tracking everything they do?
I especially like the fact that he's posted the login format in the article. Should make a forced breach by China/Russia/Anonymous/AngryStudents all the easier.
login requires the @domain.k12.wi.us so it would have to take the AD username, pass it along and tack on the domain to log into Google.
I once worked with a headhunter. When I talked with them, one of the things I made clear was that I did not know DB, had no experience with DB, and they should not send me on any interviews for DB work.
So they send me on an interview. Three minutes into the interview, I'm apologizing for wasting their time. The assholes sent me to a job interview for a DBA post.
How does that follow from what you are responding to?
The fact that I have to spell this out frightens me. Maybe this isn't the place to discus it. But I will try:
You based your original computer on a Xerox PC, but you are 'something else'.
You license your hardware as specialty, but build with the same components as PCs.
You bundle your OS and hardware, but only "sell" hardware.
You give the software away for "free" but bundle the license saying it can only be installed on your hardware.
Calling Apple excluded from any such ruling of a court as above, is contraindicated. The OS is clearly not in any way free at this time.
DOES it follow when the hardware and OS are made by the same company and tied together?
Probably not now, but eventually if this ruling is enforced, it would follow that the shenanigans associated with "I gave you that software for free you insensitive clod!" isn't going to work when you're buying Intel chips and marking up your own boards by 500%

Blatant conflict of interest with Uber's minority shareholders. Watching Google tapdance around this one will be loads of fun.
Shouldn't be an issue. Google's been pretty consistent about stealing from its partners without retribution.
What monopoly?
100,000 hours = 273 years. Does anyone believe that?
Everyone except you apparently.
This isn't news. They already did the same experiment in January 2015.
Stop reposting that.
