Isn't it true that the Electric Utility in Puerto Rico is Owned and Operated by the government?
Is that maybe why, The Electric Utility is having money problems, The Electric Grid was sub par, The disaster Planning was sub par and the fact that the Electric Utility is so totally unprepared to restore the Electric Grid?
My point being, it is to late now to do anything now. So lets not relive the past. But, maybe the Electric Utility should be privatized. There isn't much left and this mightl expedite the rebuilding process. And hopefully put the Electric Utility on firmer footing. That could be more prepared for the future storms to come.
So come on Tesla, Somebody? step up make the future better;)
And then you have an Out of Warranty, Obsolete Device, That is glued together.
But never fear you can get AppleCare+ for an additional $ 199.00 up from $ 129.00.
"You get the same two years of coverage for manufacturing defects or battery life issues (up from the one year that the phone comes with), and the same two incidents of accidental damage coverage."
Does make some sense to have humans in the loop, with both the knowledge and the manual tools to at the least double check and keep an eye on things.
So where does that leave the "RAPID AT ALL COSTS PUSH" to autonomous unmanned ships at sea, airliners in the air, heavy trucks on the roads and cars with no drivers or controls for manual use.
I am not against these things, I just think the path to get there is longer than most think. Since you often have to alter code for the exceptions that were not predicted or expected during the design and testing phases.
So the Equifax CSO (the music composition major) didn't think the security contractor sent individuals that had the right background to do security work?
"Equifax believed Mandiant had sent an undertrained team without the expertise it expected from a marquee security company."
Odd, Maybe they could not hum the right tune;)
I have heard people say a specific degree does not matter. Just having a degree proves you have the ability to learn and do any job. Guess Not;)
The truth is if anyone wants something to get out to the public have a government/government entity collect and centralize all the sensitive information in order to protect it.
I do not have a Facebook account, Twitter account, Instagram account. I don't see a need or use for them. And I am a contract computer programmer. i also write XCode/Swift apple stuff.
I create technology, but do not use much of it.
Tech is only important if you make it so!
Just saw it on the Fox Business Channel, the 3 execs that were caught selling 1.8M in stock before this came out.
Chief Financial Officer John Gamble made $946,374
U.S. Information Solutions President Joseph Loughran made $584,099
Consumer Information Solutions President Rodolfo Ploder made $250,458
Of course none of them knew about the data breach;) lol Right!
Seems to me, Equifax is! as are all the credit collection businesses. Professional Extortion artists! They collect data on everyone. Then sell access to that information to the financial industry (Credit Checks). And if you want to protect yourself you are supposed to pay them to protect (Lock) your credit history.
They do not care about spending money to protect the information they have data mined.
Open source is better, if you use it right! And put the time in to do "YOUR" due diligence! They did not! They got hacked! It took them weeks to even realize it! And weeks before they came clean.
They should really be suing the Retailer with the Amazon store, but where is the huge pay out there;) It will be interesting to see how this turns out! Amazon has a boat load of cash to pay out, but they also could use that boat load of cash to hire armies of the best lawyers in the country.
My take, the "Scum Sucking" lawyers doing this will not win the Law Suit Lottery!!!
Seems a bit odd, I am in the US and do most everything using Bash, PHP and Python with a little XCode/Swift mixed in.
Also wonder why wealthier countries since PHP and Python have no Subscription/Buy It overhead.
That is why I stopped doing Windows/Visual Studio work years ago. And yes I do know they let Visual Studio go but have not had the desire to check it out again.

AppleCare+ for the iPhone X will cost $199
But the true value is up to each individual. And they will make the choice about it making sense or not making sense.
Apple assumes everyone gets everything from Apple. And Apple would never sell a device that was not prepared at the factory.
TBH I would not pay that much for either smart phone. But Millions will ;) !!!!
Apple says "The iPhone Is Guaranteed to Last Only One Year, Apple Argues in Court"

And BAM! it is in the WILD!!
lol really! so saying vested interest do not want to verifying identity makes me a troll! OK ;) Right out of the PC correct playbook.

No!!!
In my understanding it is about trust and verification?
Give Illegals the right to vote and government benefits if their identities can be verified? This is never going to happen!
Re reading the whole series,since I heard there maybe a new book out by the ghost writer that helped on his last book before Vince Flynn's death.
OK, I thought they were denying it. thxs I stand corrected ;)

I have a bridge to sell you
I said
credit collection businesses
I should have said
credit reporting businesses

Valid point!
Why did they wait so long. We all knew this was going to happen. Oracle wanted the intellectual property not the actual projects or the people.
Both points brought up seem valid, esp. since I am not a lawyer.

Now there is something I would have never expected. Facebook a real world news source.
Going to get really interesting in a year or 2. Can Facebook be a real news source and the Epicenter of the Zuck for President Universe.
There is a standard Linux image that has telnet enabled and an iptable rule?
What business does any manufacturer have enabling or using telnet on any products!
