Wow. Youâ(TM)ve been bullied a bit in school, eh? Well, if youâ(TM)re going to have a successful life, youâ(TM)re going to need to develop a thicker skin (and I say that in full awareness of the irony); being bitter and unforgiving will only make your life miserable, no one elsâ(TM)s.
Youâ(TM)re making some assumptions when you say that the system only requires a OTP to function. In a business co text thereâ(TM)s typically a device registration process as well, separate to BaU password usage, to prevent exactly this sort of compromise - you essentially enable a device-level certificate thatâ(TM)s used in combination with your OTP.
At the consumer level, this is less common, granted.
Apple led the way back when it made sense - getting rid of floppies (the time was right), getting rid of DVD drive (the time was right). But this is no longer leadership, it's just stupidity. People are still going to use external drives for some time - people like will likely use them indefinitely
Iâ(TM)m pretty sure thatâ(TM)s exactly what people said back when they were getting rid of floppies and dvd drives.
No, you donâ(TM)t get it. No write offs at all. If every business has to raise their prices a bit, fine, but the idea is that there are no deductions, enforcement is simple and less costly, businesses donâ(TM)t have to pay people to do their taxes for them, and it all works out to a net positive.
Iâve often had this thought too; however, in reading your post an answer came to me: thereâs a self-interest in supporting people locally. It keeps your economy running and your neighbors from turning to crime, for example. It keeps your neighborhood feeling âzaliveâoe rather than abandoned. So on and so forth.
Iâm not arguing itâs right, but I think I can see a justification for the view.
The media doesn’t mention market share because a) its off topic and b) perhaps they actually understand apple’s market better than you. Apple isn’t going to be the only cell phone manufacturer and doesn’t want to even be the phone used by the majority; they want to be the cell phone of choice amongst people with high disposable income. That’s a small subset of buyers who generate the huge pile of cash Apple is sleeping on.
In Switzerland, you are required to share details of your insurance before you can collect your plates. If you cancel your insurance, the insurer informs the government agency (and, in fact, won't cancel the insurance until you prove that you have either gotten new insurance or handed in your plates).
That communication simply prevents the situation where you have uninsured drivers on the road. It's a good system.
Not really. They age evidence that you were driving (photo), and that you haven't registered any insurance. That's their proof, but you have the chance to defend yourself.
While I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the various three letter agencies try this... would they really be stupid enough to let him know where they were from? It's not like they would have appealed to the Russian's sense of patriotism for the US.
On the other hand, this sort of publicity could drive users to his product, providing a motive to lie.
Methinks that we should remain a bit skeptical on this one.
Nonsense. It's not as black and white as that. They could invest every penny of their profit into security and still get hacked - what then? You make a decision based on the information available to you; in too many cases, the security team is unable to articulate the risk in terms that are clear and defensible to the executives, so they're just as much at fault.
In your world, maybe. Here in Switzerland, 3 months notice is the norm, and six or twelve is not unheard of for more senior roles.
Sure, you could just not show up. But it's breach of contract, makes you inelligble for unemployment benefits, and would result in a bad reference letter, making it harder to get future jobs as well. Oh, and the company would likely take you to court and claim damages.
That said, it is viewed primarily as being in the employee's favor, as the company must respect the same notice period when firing you for anything other than gross misconduct. It often enough results in an employee being given 3 months garden leave (getting paid while at home) after termination. Even if not, the employer is legally obligated to give you a reasonable amount of time (e.g. 1/2 or perhaps 1 day per week) to interview for new roles.
All in all, it's a nice system, at least as implemented out here.

If this comment is amongst the best so far, then Slashdot has far greater problems than our moderation system.
Iâ(TM)m pretty sure nobody got executed for mishandling cyber weapons a few decades ago.
Oh, and I corrected that annoying spelling error in the subject that everyone else has been ignoring.

What you meant was âoeidentifiers, not authenticatesâ. Gotta understand it if youâ(TM)re gonna argue it.

We have that here. The problem is that the smokers are too numerous to make a dent in the problem this way.

If youâ(TM)re talking Italy or Greece, then that attitude is hardly restricted to taxi drivers...
Completely off topic, but that could be because it *is* a privilege, not a right.
Someone else has to work to provide you with that healthcare. A lot of someones, in fact. What exactly gives you a right to their service?
That said, it's a privilege I think we all should share, and live in a European country where that is the case, but I can't see it being a right.
Might be useful, actually. You pull over and the hooker gets in. Car scans for disease and automatically hits the eject button before you pay.
One wonders how this works for their European customers.

Isnâ(TM)t education *exactly* what this legislation looks to address? Itâ(TM)s even in the summary: the users have to pass a mandatory safety test.
So Iâ(TM)d say this addresses one of the needs you pointed out (which, incidentally, I agree with) and is ok in my books.
One of the more informative posts I've seen on Slash in a while - I knew the basics but not the specifics. Thanks!

Everything else is just gravy.
Finland isn't the only such country. Switzerland does it too; this forum post explains the system pretty well.

But in any case, I laugh at your paltry 100k fine. Try 1 million dollars on for size: https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/d...

You transparently understand neither the American nor the EU system, which leaves the rest of your argument in question.
For the record, California is a net *contributor* to the US federal pot, so no, they don't get handouts.
Did you call for the troll, or are you part of it?
