Wrong. There are people that complain that men make more than women. The wage gap as it is called is caused mostly by two variables.
1. Career choice. 2. Hours.
The people complaining about the wage gap want women to make the same as men indifferent to career choice or hours as an average of the total population over the total course of the two people's average work career.
Women will never make as much as men on average unless men work less or take less productive careers. Because women will never be able to work as much as men or be as inclined/motivated to take productive careers.
This endless whine we're getting about the lack of women in stem is a factor of it. We hear endlessly about how air conditioners are sexist. Or meritoracy is sexist.
And in that context we hear the whine about maternity leave.
Most businesses have been very happy to give women their jobs back after maternity leave. That actually isn't uncommon and hasn't been uncommon for decades.
That is not the issue. The issue the pay gap which is what this relates to because they're talking about paid leave etc.
Its about money, biased/irrational statistics, and radical politics.
Many of them are encrypted, proprietary, and sufficiently uncommon that there isn't an off the shelf hack for it.
That said, I take your point. I'm just trying to point out that you can shield one thing with another. Ideally for the deep deep stuff you need to walk up and touch it to get access. But most people aren't willing to deal with that.
No getting around that. Just don't expect this is change that. Part of the political push behind this is that some people want to talk off 5 years or something, come back, and make the same amount as the person that didn't take off 5 years.
Will companies offer leave? Sure. But you're also leaving.
We do the same back to them with the NSA. Its not an act of war. Its spying.
And the country that gets penetrated is always at fault.
If the Russians broke through our security during the cold war who's fault was that? Our own always. Its not like the Russians are going to say sorry. And what are you going to do about it? Nothing. Its not worth going to war over. Which means state agencies have to be designed to weather these sorts of attacks... and if they're not up to it then they're incompetent. In most cases they're run by cross-eyed political appointees that don't have the mental steel to deal with the job.
That is the beauty of the old mentality. Its practical, constructive, and goal oriented. This modern tendency to whine and complain when someone breaches security is frankly disgusting.
If the federal government can't deal with state sponsored hacking groups then they're incompetent to have computers in the first place.
I find the entire whine by these people to be entirely unacceptable and degenerate.
I think the NSA should be tasked with creating an incubator program where in federal techs are trained to resist state based intrusions and to understand the sort of things that create vulnerabilities.
Then I would change the institutional ORG charts such that the security departments enjoyed an independent set of priorities to the institutions they guarded as well as a responsibility to prioritize that responsibility above whatever the director of the department wants.
In this way, the organizations would need to work within security requirements rather than simply sweeping them aside or ignoring them whenever they found it inconvenient.
No... The only people that can touch the server are people that are hand picked and trusted. Can they do bad things? Sure. You have to trust someone. But a senior admin betraying you is not the same thing as a shithead hacker walking into your operation and writing "I WAS HERE" with his urine.
The trick is to backstop exposed systems to the security of secured systems. Where in the security is not actually breached unless the secure systems are breached. And then you make breaching those a matter of certain people needing to be compromised or certain physical machines being physically touched by people or hardware of ill intent. Then you control those people and that hardware. And then breaching THAT security is uncommon. Examples of it failing would be Snowden or the Iran Stuxnet situation. Snowden was given access, downloaded files, and walked off with them. I can think of ways to make that harder. And the Stuxnet thing happened because people were taking thumb drives from unsecured systems to secured systems and not running it through a protocol shift that would filter out rootkits or other nonsense designed to compromise windows or linux systems.
You know... when you sockpuppet and pretend to be multiple people by just posting the same opinion over and over again as the same shithead AC... it helps if you do it in a different way so its less obvious.
... to the control interface from a specific port. And then you plug that port into one of your servers that is deep in your security bubble by default... and then you VNC or RDP into that when you want to access the SDN.
Its when you allow access through any port that things become stupid.
... your species interacts by peeing on stuff? What are you... dog people?
My species doesn't do that. For one thing our sense of smell isn't as acute as yours. We don't get that doubtless complex social signals that your kind gets from peeing on stuff.
For us, it just smells bad... and dirty.
A human being says "hey I don't like sitting in people's dried pee"... and a dog person from outer space says "peeing on stuff and smelling it is a time honored and culturally significant portion of my culture."
Except that as an AC you can't draw me into serious discussions about anything anymore. You can't do anything besides make stupid comments and get drop kicked into the toilet by me.
That's all you've got.
And I'm pretty sure it was you that previously said "I have to do this to keep karma away from the adult's table" or something... well, you're not.
You're doing nothing to stop me. Nothing to inconvenience me. I only talk to you at all when I'm bored and no one else is talking to me.
You're that deranged but harmless homeless guy that that you sometimes meet in a deli. Nothing more.
*yawn*
And because you've started repeating yourself again... I'm now bored with you. I'll check back later and see if/. has an interesting story for once or someone makes an interesting comment.
... and how would you have one of those? Either you'd have to have a city monopoly that just ran all the cabs that way.
You know how much you love riding on buses? Imagine if the people that brought you that lingering scent of urine everywhere you went decided to do taxi cabs as well.
Exactly.
If you gave it to one evil corporation... such as OCP... or OmniCorp... I don't know what they're called... but they're amazing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
You'd at least have clean seats... though the rates are unlikely to be favorable because why should a corporation charge competitive rates if they have a monopoly?... and if you don't pay they'll probably rip your balls out through your nostrils.
But if you don't do that either then you're going to get a cluster fuck... identical to what we have now.
That's not true. I think they can make a system that is as good as the free system.
I think a lot of them are going to need to move to something that looks like a cyberlocker site. Aka the content is there with ad content and they make money on the ads.
But even requiring a login and a subscription service is okay so long as the fees are reasonable. I mean they either need to bill out the cost of one show to something VERY VERY low or they need to have a comprehensive subscription service that includes all content.
A big issue is that the pirate systems have everything under one roof. They need to do that. Everything has to be on netflix. Everything has to be on Amazon. No third party exclusives. I can accept content made by amazon only being on amazon and vice versa. That's fine. But the third party stuff has to be everywhere. And really, they might think about licensing even their own IP to their rivals.
I don't mind paying for content. I just don't want to pay for anything that I'm not getting or care about. And I don't like having to pay twice.
Simply responding to a troll isn't enough for a troll to be successful. What is required is that you get the sort of response you desire. Generally a troll has to be treated seriously enough for a troll to be successful. If trolls are treated like trolls then they are generally pretty frustrated trolls.
Case in point... you.:)
You're getting madder and madder. If anyone is getting trolled here, it is you.;)

I suspect UC has less of a claim on it than they thought or the court case to get the professor to give the data back is going to be short and hilarious.
So far the MPAA has been losing everywhere for years. I don't see this going anywhere.

This gets nutty enough and large portions of the web will go from the conventional internet to the dark web.
They need to offer their content on the streaming services and they need to do it at a competitive rate.
If they can't make money like that then cut production costs. That's all they can do.
Stopping the piracy isn't going to happen because the communications network is inherently uncontrolled and uncontrollable. The Iranians and the Chinese can't control their network... why would the stupid studios think they could control the US network? Ignorance.
You can control the system if you control everything. Run the internet like the north koreans and you can lock it down.
But that won't happen so the whole thing is pointless.
you can put anyone in the company... even someone trying to fuck you over. You just know who they are and control what they have access to... even whether what they have access to is everything.
Its not that hard.
Here someone will say "but they're on the board of directors!"... the boards of directors are frequently mushrooms... kept in the dark and fed shit. They're often jokes. The CEO knows. The chief officers know. But the board? meh. Depends on who is on the board. Simply being on the board doesn't mean anyone gives a shit. Its why disney put some school teachers on their own board.

So... I say my species doesn't communicate in pee... and you say "Some degenerate humans do pee in public"... this supports your position how?
Anyway, most of that is due to there not being enough public restrooms or that the existing restrooms are not maintained.
Which splits some of the responsibility with the city. Though honestly... gross.
