I would think that security companies out of everybody would have strict policies around BYOD. Or at least preventing those subs from accessing critical data that a hacker may be interested in?
I'm currently contracting under a contracting company, but am looking to go fully solo as i'm tired of working with an ever constant rotating door or sheeple and morons. At least independently, I won't be accountable to them more or less in the day to day sense. Also, finance and taxes aren't beyond me so I might as well dip in too and write off my gas and TP.
On that note I'm aware of most of what you said except... why would you want to do an S corp over an LLC?
I thought an LLC was the same more or less with a lot less regulation and thus the preferred option?
On a separate note, I could've sworn they've been trying to chip away at the business owner's foundation since Clinton citing that businesses in europe pay more taxes cause you know we're just like them economically (or not).
Obviously, the American people are A ok with this as it's been going on for a while now. Nobody's proposing a new plan or ECPA at that. Then again, the state of cyber law in the US is a joke full of loopholes and free passes. The real question is do you blame the IRS for doing what it legally can to function as an entity, or the people for allowing it?
Basic security is fairly easy to implement and typically requires a little bit of common sense and business sense. Turning on https on a web server doesn't require a security expert. It all depends on who you think may target you, obviously the Chinese government has more potential to break in than a basement neckbeard. However, the Chinese government isn't interested in 99.9% of IP addresses despite the title of the other fear-monging article on/.
Very true, what I'm saying however is that the "good" programmer will not degrade themselves by letting some perv watch them on a webcam all day. They'll just take an opportunity elsewhere.
I know that for enough money people will do just about anything, but in the context of this discussion I highly highly doubt that companies looking to monitor their employees through webcams are offering top dollar:P
I've heard the golden rule is 3x your FTE hourly rate. You've got to take self-benefits, work expenses, and the cost of labor into account.
Some potential employers balk at this, how an individual can ask for oh say $150 an hour in IT, but those folks are just ignorant & greedy and by no means the standard.
I don't think you're correct on the requirements either, however I just wanted to say that most employers whether required or not do this to stay competitive in the job market pool.
A slightly related example is health insurance, I've noticed that most places that have called me that DON'T have it are almost immediately up front about it as they've experienced the lack of health insurance to be an instant dis-qualifier for them as an employer to potential employees for whom that's important.
I thought it used to be decent, but it seems people have lowered the bar on there even more. I do think the site is a bunch of India coders spewing out spaghetti code though nowadays anyways. Nothing relevant or important ever passes through sites like that, and that's where the money's at. Not writing some asshat's chess program for him.
Let me put it as simply as possible for everybody here:
Your data as an individual isn't worth a buck. Security professionals on the other hand cost much much more. Enjoy your tin-foil hat though, I'm sure it'll save you when shit actually hits the fan on the internet.
No, fear-mongering of this intensity probably targets passing things like SOPA and CISPA, so that homeland security can protect us from our squinty eyed, dark colored, vodka loving enemies from somewhere abroad thus ensuring jobs for them and plenty of racy private photos & videos for their dicks.
Something like making computers come with an AV solution out of the box is almost incomprehensible to these people because they can't tell apart a computer from a washing machine.
I just disagree that being in opposition to spending the money means that people don't care about suffering. They may simply care more about suffering in different areas, or simply want to decide for themselves which causes are worthy (e.g. charity).
Again, how do you decide?
I agree the government does waste money, but while $9m of this project may get wasted, at $100m a year it seems like it's going to make progress short of complete fraud.
Also, a lot of scientists, depend on grants like this to feed their families and produce future scientists (yes i'm partially joking), so you know, we don't go back to the dark ages.
Funny you should mention debt because it sounds like you've been listening to the republicans: read & behold... we owe most of the deficit... to ourselves : http://economyincrisis.org/content/whos-behind-deficit-crisis unless you consider the U.S. Treasury more than a government puppet. Our debt is really a good measure of how much money we've injected into the economy which in turn causes the dollar to lose value, but as you can see from the article its all very POV based.
so how do you decide then? do you not think this is an important project then?
I've also never seen anybody in science take the pre-emptive on I'm going to solve this or cure this... it's always trial and error, so making promises beforehand would be stupid imho.
You guys hear government and money and immediately protest, but guess what, that federal tax is coming out of your paycheck either way, so might as well put it towards something that CAN be useful.
We're on a topic where understanding the why leads to the how though. Understanding the how has proven impossible up to this point.
I think a lot of the responses here are the government's fault though for botching an infinite number of these studies where nothing actually got studied and the money was just recycled among a few staff until it was gone. But, still I think it's a worthy goal, and I support it, though I'd just like to see more checks and balances.
Imagine how fast computers will be without layers of security to prevent people in breaking into their systems
And btw it is beyond a reasonable doubt the admin's fault somebody is browsing torrent sites off the company network at night.
1. why is VPN access not audited? (why does nobody see somebody getting in at night for non-work reasons) 2. why are the torrent sites not blocked? Even a simple blacklist can accomplish 99% of this.
Leave security to human nature and tendencies and in my analogy you might as well not bother with the front door... or frame for that matter.
I'm sure if you take the time to read the product features and compare them side by side you can answer your own question on differentiators.
Most business decisions in regards to CMS are a functionality vs implementation / licensing cost.
I know most people absolutely hate it, but I like Sitefinity... maybe because i know some of the framework, but seriously it's cheap... in your case it might be free if you're non-commercial, and it behaves like a web application meaning devs can extend it infinitely, though it's got a few wtfs.
the initiative could lead to huge advances in our understanding of Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, and consciousness itself
The goal is right in the summary, you wouldn't even have to RTFA...
Ever meet anybody with the former 2 conditions? $2/year an American is less than I'm about to go spend on lunch, saying its not worth it implies a general misunderstanding of the scope of the US economy and a disregard for fellow human beings suffering from these conditions.
I also feel I've met way too many people with the third condition, some of it is pretty atrocious.

Tampering with a mailbox is a felony, tampering with an email mailbox should be too. And me sending mail doesn't give the USPS a right to read.
Interesting, the whole payroll thing sounds like a PITA, and I do know a pretty strong CPA.
I'm curious, did you start as an s-corp or move from LLC to s-corp?
S-corp definitely carries the benefits but on top of everything else I'd be starting to manage, an s-corp requires at least some extra work.
why would a hacker care about any of that? (hint: sentimental value vs. monetary)
I would think that security companies out of everybody would have strict policies around BYOD. Or at least preventing those subs from accessing critical data that a hacker may be interested in?

At this point, corporate war games only exist in hollywood movies as far as the general public knows anyways.
Also, I really really hope you're not referring to your personal computer that houses this data.
what AC said. It's the 90/10 fact.

Here's the funny part and a bit of consolidation:
Nobody skilled would ever take such a job, so it's a by morons for morons type thing.
To demonstrate human stupidity and a non-understanding of basic computer security.
Let me put it as simply as possible for everybody here:
Your data as an individual isn't worth a buck. Security professionals on the other hand cost much much more. Enjoy your tin-foil hat though, I'm sure it'll save you when shit actually hits the fan on the internet.

I thought that good salesmanship was to sell that lady the most comprehensive product you can without balking at the price.
The logic is the store gets paid and the lady gets peace of mind.
Sounds shitty right? Thus I won't be doing retail sales ever again.

I was mainly responding to...

How aboutzor you put your tin foil hat back on... or provide source. I also don't think you understand how innovation works either, moving on.
Hint: In capitalism it typically has nothing to do with making a product more efficient, that's usually a by-product of something else.
