we discussed it anyway, as there was no way for them to monitor it. Thanks for the insult, it's quite useful in a conversation like this for adding information to the subject at hand. And since this state I'm in is "at will", anyone under such a contractual system can be fired for "no stated reason".
usually has a clause explicitly saying we can't discuss our pay with other contractors. I always found this a bit evil, since it's only purpose is to depress wages overall. But if Google doesn't include such a clause in their employment contract, too bad for them.
Right now, every case of drone destruction has ended with the shooter loosing in court. The FAA still regulates drones as unmanned aerial vehicles, per their rules it's just like shooting at a manned vehicle.
doubtful, Seattle really fucked up their broadband deployment. "Gigabit Seattle" apparently was a horrible failure. Part of the problem was the law made "right a way" too hard to get for many condo units, apartment buildings, etc to the point the telco's had to track down owners overseas, big corps that just ignored them, etc. They never secured enough $$$ to roll-out piecemeal, the city eventually canceled the project. Why they ever thought they could have a privately backed "public partnership" roll-out without some serious bonds is beyond me. And letting it drag on for 10 years was ridiculous. "Gigabir Squared" is now getting sued by the City of Seattle over $52K+ unpaid bills.
I don't think Uber will really have a huge impact on over-all traffic, especially for people driving to work every day. Unless Uber starts doing multi-stop / multi-passenger trips (which will require far better software to do that) their not going to significantly cut the number of cars on the road over-all. Subways, light rail, Hyper Loop, flying drone cabs (?), is required to effectively cut the traffic.
The rest of the planet pays less for healthcare because they aren't also funding the massive amount of medical research the USA is either. I'm not saying other countries don't do their own research, but almost every major surgery has been developed in a hospital inside the US. We also (for better or worse) do most of the pharma research and development, or at least used to until quite recently. So we're paying more to fund all this research, it's all amortized into the cost of the hospitals. Everyone else doesn't have similar level of facilities in their hospitals, and they just don't have the same level of associated costs. Much of this is changing / shifting, but for the last 100 years the US is the place most surgeries have been developed. Until Bush came along, we where on the forefront of most medical research, but his laws against stem cells have really hurt the over-all basic research and pushed this into other countries.
I'd actually buy that book, that's absolutely brilliant. A 1001 might be too many, maybe 101 unless your book is going to be huge. Still, this might be a best seller if done in a comedic way.
I have to agree, without specifics no one can give real advice. To use a car analogy, I can tell a mechanic "it's making a noise like NEP NEP NEP" but until they plug in the code reader and actually get their hand dirty they can't give an estimate for the work. We have to know both the terms, the ACTUAL WORDS. Even then, perhaps filing a claim himself in the Google ecosystem might shake it up a bit, at least for the first claim. The second sounds more serious. Anyway, I have these questions:
We need a time frame, how long has it been since he contacted the second person? There's a big difference if it's been a few business days, a week, half a month, etc. How many times has he attempted contact with them?
What are Google's stipulations to NOT have apps pulled. "Work it out", does that mean the complainant must withdraw their complaint? Does Google even vet these before sending them out?
What are the actual words? Names of the apps?
Names of the people complaining against you. There may be people who have been attacked in the past by these two who might be able to "help", look in forums for people with similar charges brought against them (especially on the second guy.)
But you need to trademark these terms as your own, in your market, ASAP. Since you know what their trademarks are, register your own with those words but make it even more specific so it only covers you. Get a copywrite on them too. If this is too $$$, well, then probably give up since this is "the cost of doing business".
Your state might have people who can help with this, even Oklahoma has a small business agency with "free" lawyers who do trademark and copywrite. At this point, your apps have taken a life of their own. You'll probably need to form some type of LLC, register all this in it's name...and I don't know how trademarks, their dates, etc work in the law since IANAL. If you get one too, even if it is after the initial complaints, if you file your own complaint...might have to play hardball.
I did a bit of research on it, the "SpiritWORLD" media system was written by (from what I can tell) five Indian contractors. It's some SAP / Oracle media DB app and it was part of the initial breach in Brazil that they ignored. Well, they didn't totally ignore it...part of their IT noticed something, they told someone else, and then whomever the escalated it to ignored it. I'd guess someone managed to get some video on it that called out to a pre-infected codec, probably by spoofing an email address and sending a video to someone in Brazil. I'll also bet that the GOP knew that Brazil has no laws regarding security breaches and was a major reason they chose this country (as opposed to the other 22 countries SpiritWORLD serves for Sony).
Something similar happened to my dad. Not a school bus, but a city vehicle who ran a stop sign. Cost the insurance over 5k to get it fixed, the city paid nothing. They didn't have to carry any insurance at all; must be nice to be above the law like that.
No cable? Just wifi for your broadband connection? I can see that in countries that have yet to build a physical infrastructure, but I find it hard to believe countries in Europe have no cable, coaxial, phone, fiber cable, or otherwise.
whomever put the cables in my desk tied them all down way too short, and I'm too lazy to fix it. Corporate just did a re-model, and all the desk in our new Enterprise Command Center are all "stand-able". Corporate apparently sank millions into remodeling the old SABRE building, we're all thinking we're being setup for another "sale" once the HP Enterprise company is spun off. Luckily for us the mainframes can't really move overseas, and the real-time systems require constant watching by people in the same building!
I totally agree, "local" welfare has far less over-all costs that take $ out of the over-all amount, plus local agencies know what groups are more vulnerable in that area. People are far more likely to not complain as much if the "welfare" money taken out of the tax base was only going to other people in a limited geographical region as well...
And universal conscription would stop elites from being such war hawks, if their kids had the same chance to go off and die like us peasants.
It's very important if your job suddenly has a "random check" and you have partaken within the past 30 days...either that or getting fired. And if your job is paying for your test to be ran through a mass spectrometer. your already screwed / under serious suspicion.
I posted on their article itself...
"Spreadsheets and email documents are a bigger threat than the cloud" Typical high-level executive thinking. There can only be one reason for anything, only one "real" reason and all else should be ignored. Because there is zero chance that BOTH email and the "cloud" are security issues...
Just because an accountant is "satisfied" with marketing double speak about the "cloud", that just shows how clueless they are. If they think that offsite, connected storage is somehow "new" because it has a new name, then as an IT security professional this is quite scary. There isn't just "one" cloud, each service must be vetted, and the assumption here is that there must be some cloud provider that will not be found lacking.
Next time there's a server security breach, I'll call my accountants to come fix it right? Since their now experts in compsec, and know the cloud is "safe"? The more critical financial information is placed up into a cloud, the more of a target it becomes. Do you want your info on the same service that Sony uses the next time North Korea decides to mess with them? That's a very real potential issue.
EDS hasn't done anything for several years...since it hasn't actually existed as a company in awhile. I, however, still have an EDS license plate, and work with many former EDS people at the old SABRE center (now owned by HP). White the "spin-off" of HP Enterprise, we're all assuming it will also not be HP for much longer either...
"is not too rare" per TFA. That seems to be part of said vulnerability. I've had some major clients run a localized IIS / SQL This won't effect the majority of users then, but it will specifically effect a huge number of corporate users. One client that has a setup that would be affected, with 5000+ users...who also have very juicy account info, at least for other large pharma corps who are also doing trials on diabetic drugs, cardio drugs, etc.
maybe they where ALSO the cracker, since they KNEW the servers where owned? lol. In college a friend of mine kept crashing his own computer writing "viruses"...
