  1. Re:How is this different from... on LinkedIn-Russia: US Says Concerned Over Decision to Block Professional Networking Site (ndtv.com) · · Score: 1

    My point is, surveillance and politics are already a reality that many US companies are dealing with the in UK. I understand companies not wanting to put an office in every country that enacts this kind of law, but if this is a corporate problem, why is the US government reaching out to Russia?

    ... UK laws requiring data and operations to be physically located there?

  3. Re:Necessary on Donald Trump Wins US Presidency (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Referring to http://www.npr.org/2016/11/09/...: You dont think Trump has some (likely massive) backing from some combination of the utility/energy wealthy, prison-for-pay companies, or healthcare companies?

    Is there anyone in the US between the ages of 5 and 85 who doesnt have a cell phone that can browse the internet? I kid, a little.

  5. All this will do is sell one additional recruiter account per company, where the HR department browses applicants from home. That will last until someone devises an automated solution and sells the data scrape to the HR departments directly.

    And there arent any problems that come from a large population segment of frustrated people. Keep feeling entitled.

    Throw off your shackles of non-connectivity. The revolution will not be televised, but you will be able to complain endlessly on social media.

  9. Just offshoring on FBI Probes Hacking of Democratic Congressional Group (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    We are offshoring almost everything else. Why deny the Russians work in the electoral process?

    At least where I live. Combine with in house software for referral links, and i dont miss job boards.

  12. Re:Yeah.... on DMCA Notices Remove 8,268 Projects On Github In 2015 (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Someone probably got stepped on inappropriately, but. This last year a number of interns at at least 2 companies have posted internal code to github when they didnt get hired. At least four repackaged fraudulent mobile apps I know of were uploaded to github. Some actual problems are being solved with these takedowns.

  13. Or on Instagram Hits 500 Million Users (time.com) · · Score: 1

    Enough fraud occurred on Instagram for automated bots to be pointed at it for preventive detection. Viola, more traffic.

  14. Satellite image matching? on FBI Says Utility Pole Surveillance Cam Locations Must Be Kept Secret (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I have to wonder if you could image match on google maps to derive a fairly recent mapping of where there devices are.

  15. I wasnt suggesting mandatory prosecution. I was saying that if we arent going to prosecute, the law should be removed from the "books".

  16. I think this is a better cry for legal and prosecution reform. I agree there are laws that should always be prosecuted, but thats not the way this country works. From blue laws, to traffic laws, to tax laws, to immigration laws, no one wants all of them enforced. I submit we should agree on a subset, and take the rest off the books.

    Why arent we talking about a systematic audit of the politicians who are also using exceptions to the government security standard? If you dont have records, fine, audit them all. There are commercial software packages that will do this for you.

    Unacceptable.

  22. If a VC really thought that this model generated more income, the conversation would be different. Buy a plot of land. Build an arcology. Give people free food, housing, entertainment and money equivalent to a basic income. Establish an incentive program akin to employment for the product of invention and useful patents. Measure results against a list of urban areas where most VC investment occurs. Put your money where your mouth is, sir.

    Sure, but it definitely was for me. Yes, it is hard to raise a family there, or settle there permanently. If you want to double your earning potential, and then leave, I assert that is very possible.
