So people who care about privacy should avoid working for companies that are being forced by regulations to care more about privacy? That somehow does not seem to be the best recipe for success in helping companies who should be caring about privacy.
No, he was wondering why you are suggesting that people stick around to get slowly bled to death instead of taking their stuff to a more welcoming environment and doing more with it.
"How is disclosure of such a URL any different from disclosure of a password? One could achieve the same objective by changing the URL periodically." I believe the article is saying that you don't just blindly allow the use of URLs without verifying that the caller is within an authenticated session. This has nothing to do with changing passwords.
"Google tried this with Android by listing all of an application's permissions up front at application installation time. The result was that some end users ended up with no acceptable applications because all applications in a class requested unacceptable permissions." So, a group of people denied access to every app because they thought the app had too much access to their data and that group of people had no usable apps and this is somehow the fault of everybody except that small group of people? Look, I get that some people don't want some apps being able to do certain things. But if you don't want any app to do anything, why do you have a device capable of running apps?
"That or an application or platform publisher might just punt on serving sophisticated users." Well, no reasonable person expects that every software publisher will meet the needs of every person on the planet. Those users who are "too sophisticated" may need to write their own software or find equally sophisticated developers to write it for them.
"This too could be misinterpreted as a walled garden excuse when a platform owner treats applications as "external components" in this manner." Or it could be correctly interpreted as "use digital signatures to verify senders and that the message has not been tampered with." In this context, a downloaded binary is treated the same as a message before the binary is used.
I love your claim that you rewrote Charles Schwab from the ground up with no architectural plan in place yet state that you were the chief architect. Your up-front architecture was the old systems you were replacing. You had laid out before you everything that had to be accomplished, what had to talk with what and how as you went through the process of replacing and retiring systems.
Just because you don't want to recognize that as up-front architecture doesn't mean it wasn't there and you didn't do it.
Of course, taken literally, your statement also admits that the whole thing never actually worked: "there was never a moment when all the applications were fully functional." I'll choose to read that combined with the sentence that follows as you did not do the whole rewrite before switching to the new system. That is more evidence that you were using the existing system as an architectural guide to how the system communicated.
Okay, we won't refer to it as misinformation. We will call it misleading information or not the whole truth information or rose tinted information instead.
Yes, money was being stolen. Probably not as much as the studio argued but it was being stolen. If you actually had job that involved creating anything, you would not be so dismissive of IP theft.
No but civilizations always work to make commerce more efficient and the internet is obviously a great way to do that. What next, complaints about people using the postal system to transact commerce.
No, I guess you are correct. Those of us who live in smaller towns should not be able to take advantage of the larger shops and choices without actually driving to the "big city" and we should be getting all of our entertainment the old-fashioned way by driving to the live theater.
Seriously. GM cars and trucks here in the states routinely approach 200k as do other manufacturers as well. Something is seriously wrong with the UK autos.
Maybe that has to do with the government of Iran having, for decades, repeatedly called for the total annihilation of another country. Have US administrations been doing that?
Maybe we can actually say that the stated intentions of a countries leaders can be used against that country and don't need to be ignored.
Maybe we can actually and honestly say that some countries simply can't be trusted to the same extent that others can be and that the US really is not as evil as certain misguided assholes believe.
Well, its a good thing we don't prosecute people for what a few think should be a crime then isn't it. If we did about 99.99% of the world would be in jail.
"the local service industry has to pay more to get people to work, so prices go up even more" surely you jest, sir. The glorious left have given us their assurances that forcing an increase in pay will do absolutely nothing to prices as the two share no relationship whatsoever.
Generalizations that are based on sound averages are exactly that, generalizations. Is it sexist to point out that the average male, college basketball players plays a better game than the average female. No, it is the truth. And the same holds for golf and other sports as well. Some of the best women have played against the best men and don't hold up. I'm sure there are other sports where this doesn't hold up.
Pointing out "sound statistics" is not racist or sexist.

If only SF was its own country and would stop trying to force its decisions on the rest of us.
No, he was wondering why you are suggesting that people stick around to get slowly bled to death instead of taking their stuff to a more welcoming environment and doing more with it.
Really, imagine the nerve of someone packing up their property and finding a more welcoming place.
We should have a federal law in the US that makes it illegal for a business to ever relocate or close its doors.

And worse than before on major metrics is definitely the opposite of fixed but who really cares anyway.

And I'm betting you are not very risk-averse and Vegas loves when you pay them a visit.
If you want to claim that you are nothing more than a parasite feel free to do so. Also realize that you have the ability to eradicate yourself.

At least average is better than the half that are undersized.
Yup, commerce is the downfall of any civilization.
It is very plain that many parts of the Bible are not meant to be taken literally. The age of the earth being the most obvious.
Well, Peter might be a good liberal leftie, everything is relative in that mindset.

I would rather not have those that are so visually impaired that reading the phone or GPS unit is difficult to be driving.
Like Anonymous Coward is a better name!

Who said anything about constructing a weapon? UW-Madison is one of the more liberal campuses in the US.
Well, its a good thing we don't prosecute people for what a few think should be a crime then isn't it. If we did about 99.99% of the world would be in jail.
Yes, we do have a clue. That is why we don't live in those places, dumbass.
