I agree! It also shows that massive breaches and any fines that come with it do absolutely nothing to businesses. Are TJX and Target any worse off? Did they now have top notch security in place? As long as even a massive breach is far cheaper for a company than implementing proper security nothing will change. Penalties need to be tied to the number of records breached with a minimum of 1,000$ to be paid directly to the victim. Now that would be more than just a blip on the balance sheet for Equifucks.
Why do people still spend so much on Apple product? Sure, iOS is nice and such, but the hardware is grossly overpriced and more and more of rather shitty quality. A phone that cost that much should not only be free of all and any defects, but come with a no questions asked warranty. All products ought to have a minimum of two year all inclusive warranty. The EU has that.
So what if they have techs like Equifucks developing such a chip and then any dillhole can crack the transmission protocol and read out personal data from anyone who walks around in a half mile radius?
I bet many employees will be strongly against that. Some object to it for tax reasons, many object to it because now they have to pay more alimony, and then there are several other reasons.
I really do not care what Joe gets, even if he works far less, delivers crappy results, and barely shows up for work. All I am interested in is if I get paid what I think my work is worth.
Yes...but there are plenty of other means to access that data than through an API. And in those cases it matters a whole lot if data is encrypted or not. Adding encryption to any reputable data store is not difficult. In most cases it is a simple configuration setting that can be queried for as well. In most cases the apps consuming the data do not have to change at all as long as they use the proper credentials. Any company that collects personal data and does not encrypt any of it needs to be closed and all data deleted immediately. The entire organization failed big time and swapping out one inept CEO for another inept one is not helping. Although, by now it doesn't matter much, half of the US population is screwed for life. At least give us the satisfaction to see these reckless aholes pay up with their personal wealth and go to jail for a really long time....and please pick the worst craphole there is. They do not deserve better.
Send Equifucks a cease and desist order for all their operations. They grossly abused the trust put into them and still have no leadership who takes these matters seriously. All that Equifucks deals with is data, the CEO not knowing if it is encrypted and the previous CEO not demanding encryption when his subordinates flubbed on it is prime evidence that they have absolutely not a single clue what they are doing as long as the cash rolls in regularly.
Congress must act and pass a law that any and all collection of personal information can only occur after explicit written consent and only for a very specific purpose. All data has to be encrypted in rest and in transfer. All practices have to be reviewed at least annually by an independent third party. Any data that is no longer needed for the purpose the consent was given has to be deleted. That also applies to all branches and organizations of governments. Exceptions can be granted to law enforcement after a decision by an elected judge (means no anonymous rubberstampers in back rooms). Or does the US really have to join the EU to get some decent privacy regulation in place?
...Dr. Mai-Lin Cha in Quantico. She cracks everything that Jerry Cotton gives her. Joke aside...maybe the FBI should hire some better people. If the government apparently has money for new nukes and pointless border walls then there should be a some cash left for hiring better experts.
...what is a desired redirect and what not? Redirects are a common practice and ideally inform the user that they will be redirected. Often times this is not done, for example, when using an identity provider. The users hits the targeted page, lacks authentication, gets redirected to the identity provider, once authenticated a redirect is made to the originally requested site with authentication and claims stuffed inside a cookie. For the user this looks like a seamless transition although two redirects are involved.
As opposed to closed source where you have to patch every month as well....but only those things that the vendor and guvernment want you to have fixed. It is not a matter of closed source or open source, it is a matter of user focus, quality assurance, and ethics. Both camps are sorely lacking.
QA is the first to get the boot. It appears that DST is still a novel concept to developers. Say, how much do people pay for Apple gear? It is in no way better than the stuff from the other guys who ask only half as much for it or even less.
By announcing this publicly the market WILL shift and typically down. It never looks good when the top managers drop a lot of stock at once. The much better way is to make it illegal for anyone in Congress or C level management of a publicly traded company to own any stock. Keeps them honest and forces the companies to pay them fully taxable salaries rather than company stock where gains are taxed much lower.
An internal investigation overseen by the jerks who are subject to that investigation. Take everything the managers own, throw them in jail, and close that entire company down. Any proceeds from sales of goods is to be distributed to the victims....without lawyers getting a huge cut as is the case in the class action suits.
The rich do not drive dinky EVs, they have private jets and stretch limos and souped up gas guzzling SUVs. After all, something has to make up for eliminating the estate tax, which is the most American of all taxes.
Tesla cannot even manage to screw their cars together. Over 100 years of mass production of cars and Tesla can't figure it out! They are like Apple with consumer electronics, totally inept in execution.
With you asking for all the subsidies going away I surely hope you are not one of those who then kicks and screams when prices for groceries go through the roof.
...and fossil fuel consumption curbs sexual assault because you can't do it with the lights on. Seriously, if such morons can get government positions or even become president, why am I worried about losing my job. US politics seems to be the career path for the dumb and inept. I guess I'd be overqualified, but do not have a chance anyway because I did not inherit millions from my dad's shady businesses.
Give me one, just ONE, example where corporate tax breaks generated jobs long term. All that tax breaks do is keep a few jobs around a bit longer that eventually get eliminated or sent overseas while big investors and the C-level-managers line their pockets with cash.
That is what the Republicans sell us as "free market with consumer choice". It all reminds me of the day I dined in a government run Hungarian restaurant in the 80s. They had about a hundred tables all prepped, a 7 member combo playing, a huge menu...and after we ordered the waiter told us that the stove is broken and all we can eat is either rice with sauce or sauce with rice. In other words, this is not free market or consumer choice, this is nothing else than pseudocommunist government control with the aim of having one provider that is jumping when the gov says "jump" and one second grade provider without much weight so that it looks like there is free enterprise. Well, this is what we get from voting morons into office who think that cutting corporate taxes generates more jobs and higher wages.
That has to do with the way TV service providers buy content. Disney for example has half a dozen TV channels that people primarily want to watch. Any provider who wants to carry those channels also needs to deliver the five dozen crap channels that are dirt cheap to produce and bring in a decent amount of ad revenue. It is an all or nothing deal that does not allow for buying everything and broadcasting only part of it. TV service providers also like that because then they can claim that they provide over 300 HD channels.

Biometric verification is even worse! The SSA can hand out a new number, they cannot give you new fingerprints or a better face.
Sorry...wanted to add a break, not make text bold. Why does /. have such a craptastic editor for posts?

Oh boo hoo...bad government wants to tell farmers what to do....so why do they have no problem enslaving themselves to Monsanto and John Deere?
