I think we can agree both comments were equally snarky:D The OP, also, never implied that a firewall is _the only_ security measure one needs in all cases.

i don't see the need of ssl on an internal small server
The 1980s called and would like their "my firewall stops ALLLL the hackerz!" approach to security back.
On the server providing updates to all your Windows systems? Thank goodness you have no authority over my network. All the guys on my team get regular reminders about the importance of defense in depth.
The early 2000s called and would like their "SSL secures your web traffic! Really!" approach to security back.
We f*xked it up this time, but make sure to stay tuned, we will hit a homerun with Windows 9! Be sure to buy that as soon as possible, it'll fix all your Windows 8.x.update.woes! We promise.
Witnessing the slow internal bleeding death of a behemoth, folks.
He's also saying that he thinks people who can create fake custom license plate frames can't recreate fake charity member ID cards.
Proof that cops are generally geniuses.
That seems like a pittance for an ENORMOUS feat. That's not enough to buy an apartment in a 2nd tier city, and they expect it to encourage a company to be like "Great, 250k, lets put a lot more effort into bringing samples back from MARS."
The American workers out of jobs, at least support American companies in the process, no?
I'm not even American, I'm Canadian, so while I don't have a vested interest, I can see and understand the hate.
Essentially it makes sense to bring in tech talent with the purpose of filling vacancies that can not otherwise be filled with the domestic talent. It isn't being used for that in many cases, though - rather is used to cut cost and 'get 'er done'. If the gov't is going to enable this cost-cutting advantage, it should make sense to at least offer it to American companies rather than foreign - why would they want to both displace more expensive workers as well as displace them with the intention of supporting a foreign enterprise in the process?
Sounds to me like they were getting high one day, thinking they need to get back into the MMO forefront after a decade and a half, and someone had just experienced "Nomic" for the first time ever.
You're also ignoring the fact that as more coins flow into the BitCoin economy - ignoring the fact it's already lost a ton of confidence due to a series of community upsets, etc - the more liquidity/supply to meet a questionable demand. Will the demand increase to meet the faster incoming supply? I'm betting no. I know also though that the cost of the power/cooling/maintenance/etc is ENORMOUS for this type of operation, and you're also ignoring the fact that the exponentially harder mining calculations will slow their production immensely the faster they mine, so jumping to a "1200% per annum" ROI is ludicrous and missing so many important factors.
It's going to bomb. Be surprised if this guy ends up with anything but massive loss at the end of the day - especially if exchanges continue to implode and people continue to abandon the currency.
You're forgetting that any fiat currency is given value artificially and that includes BTC. As trust fades in BTC, value drops. It can be manipulated on the dime via cyber attacks - and there have been so many recent cases demonstrating how quickly lack of trust can set in - this article just being a recent example. What happens when all the trust in your currency of choice fades, and your BTC is no longer accepted by vendors - and there is no gov't backing that currency as an acceptable payment? Zero wealth? Enjoy.
Major difference. Banking _is_ safe - the first link you paste is investors who bought a wealth product who did not get the ROI they expected. They didn't understand what an investment risk is, that's different than *banking* in the sense you're depositing cash / expect to be able to withdraw it at a later date.
The second link, that's a "farmers co-op". That's not a bank, even if the article mentions it as a "bank" in quotes. There's nothing normal about some small town's peasant created co-op - 'normal' banks in China are the likes of ICBC, BOC, etc.
In comments about the BitCoin exchanges in China, that this _is the norm_ for exchanges or wallets here, and if you're keeping any money in any BTC storage or transaction services in China, expect to get fleeced.
Just another day another dollar for these sneaky bastards.
Companies pay more in taxes (ie. fund schools...if that's even where corporate tax as opposed to say residential tax goes? Maybe some. Maybe.) not by earning more profit by selling more software.. but by closing corporate loopholes to avoid paying taxes completely. Karen Lewis needs to *educate* herself, before spreading her lack of understanding and loud mouth fables to youth.
Ok. I've been in China for *ages*, and I can't tell you how frequently people skate from businesses and literally disappear. Here are some personal examples:
* Bought membership at a really nice gym. Stored some gym stuff in locker there. Thought it strange that they suddenly had a HUGE discount to get new members - thought it was no big deal since it wasn't really busy. Arrived one morning shortly after to see staff outside, locked out. Overnight, literally out the back door, owner sold off some assets and locked up shop. Gone. Disappeared. Nobody ever came to claim or deal with the remaining gear. I lost shoes and pants.
* Wife's company paid an employee management company to pay workers at her real estate development. One month, the workers didn't get paid - her company had just transferred one quarters funds into the employee management company's account. The owner took the money, and ran - literally, never to be found to this day.
This shit happens daily. China bitcoin exchanges & wallets have collapsed, not with shady excuses like MtGox, but simply disappearing and not trying to hide it. Anyone who uses China online services for bitcoin is *AN IDIOT*, although the shitty thing is for Chinese people who are actually interested in BitCoin is it's not easy to transfer funds outside of China so there is little choice but to use these shady mainland services.
I'd like to gamble a different way: set up a betting site to take bets on when this exchange will fold taking everyone's cash/coin with it.
Because when I go to FX's website, I get this: "Thank you for your interest in FX Networks This site is currently only available to viewers living in the United States."
Because the show, which I really like, isn't on any TV channels local to me.
Because I'd rather not wait for a 3rd party service to make the episode available and have to deal with that 3rd party service.
Fix the delivery methods available, Sutter, and you'll make *more* money.
I still hate the fact that mini-devices sport so many ports which require traditional plugs. For example Apple has sported the magnetic power connection for ages - when plugging my Air into devices/power, it's by far my preferred of connector - and don't understand why while technology focuses on things like throughput they don't look at simple usability like connecting the throughput as a very common-sense improvement. In short, fuck USB 3.0, fuck the throughput, I just want to plug in my mouse without having to either visually line shit up or non-visually fish around for the right way to connect two things.
Which is assuming people who potentially stole millions and ran one of the largest bitcoin exchanges don't understand how to cover their asses technically.
Given how easily it would be to get away with the theft of anonymous cryptocurrency, I am surprised there aren't far more 'hacks' where exchanges rob all they can from their customers then close up shop. I know it has happened in China on much smaller scales, and I'm sure it will happen many more times, the question is who can you possibly trust with something that can be so easily disappeared.
Which it doesn't seem to be...
I think it's absolutely wrong to out someone who is actively trying to remain out of the spotlight - publishing personal information or photos without their permission. It's very different if it's a wanna-be famous actor or singer or whatever, a loud outspoken public figure type, then -- fair game -- but a recluse? Let people have some f'in privacy, ffs.
Maybe I'm the one misunderstanding this, but, seems everything hit the fan when KING tried to copyright the word "Candy" and force Ransom to pull his product or whatever, not because Ransom wanted to go after King. The instigating factor here is KING is trying to copyright extremely broad terms... CANDY, SAGA? Come on man, and then push out games who use those words even if they came out before their product. It's completely bullying and bullshit.
Read lots of copyright evilry being perpetrated by King lately... Candy, Saga, they want to own all the words related to everything they use - beyond trolling. Would LOVE to see someone 'oust the king', behead that monster.
Now is when the Gohmerts of the US chime in: "Look, we're getting unnaturally cold fronts and snow storms! There is no global warming! Paahhhhhhhh."
It's amusing how the ridiculously uninformed ignorant and lacking-any-scientific-understanding loud mouths in the US clam on to "warming" in the phrase global warming, and assume that indicators need to be related to heat. Maybe amusing isn't a good descriptor, sad may be better. Prepare to hear/read more of this in the coming days.
If they taste so wonderful, why not market a meal of these magically delicious mushrooms with a cup of milkthistle tea blocker! I'm sure you'd find takers.
Your sentence is incomplete.
"can pay for a whole lot of cobol programmers to keep that back end running" + " until they die, then you're f'd, cuz' nobody wants to learn COBOL."
