and they ensure that the company uses every [sic] they have got, leaving them with no choice but to demonstrate their defense capabilities to the attacker.
This doesn't make sense. To require them to use every defense they have would require the attacker to be precisely calibrated with the defenses the company has.
It's much more likely that the attacker has more offenses that the company doesn't have defenses for or that the attacker has fewer attacks and that the company has defenses that are not employed.
Even more likely is a disjoint match - the attacker has attacks the company is not prepared for and the company is prepared for some attacks the attacker is not employing.
The only way the statement could make sense as written is if the attacker has a priori inside knowledge of the companies' defenses. That would be a much bigger story. More likely is that at least some of the claims in the article are not well-founded and/or outright propaganda.
With 60%+ of the workforce working in farming, the Industrial Revolution was predicted to cause massive unemployment that the society could never recover from.
So what is the statute of limitations on mass murder as a result of fraudulent practice. Have proof, let's see the convictions, let's demand the convictions (victims in the millions, seriously).
You're kidding, right? A government agency signed off on it so nobody gets prosecuted for malicious intent. That's the point of government - to shield certain individuals from liability for what would otherwise be crimes (e.g. extortion of taxes).
You mean you dont trust a neocon "physicians" group?
Neocons are essentially Trotskyites who were using the conservative groups as camouflage. They've recently (9/11) come out of hiding and have pursued their Team America: World Police agenda since. Bush (aka Rove), et. al, especially psychos like Wolfowitz.
Clinton, former Goldwater-girl herself, is a true-blue neocon. So much so, that the traditional Republican nocons have endorsed her over Trump.
The AAPS seems to be made up of regular old conservatives.
While Zuckerberg has made it clear that he would like for Facebook to become everyone's entire internet experience, that can't happen without the cooperation of the people using it.
How some people (yeah, you, Norway) conflate lots of people visiting Mark's shitty little dorm-room website (all scaled up now) with something like a public water supply is beyond me.
*I* don't like it when FB removes stuff I post (mostly fine art with boobs) but it's not my website, it's theirs.
Uber "Technologies" is kind of a misnomer. They are more of a overvalued hedge fund than anything else.
They lost a billion dollars last year, so not the best hedge fund ever. And no other traits of a hedge fund.
What they are is a tech startup that has created an efficient market that is disruptive to an extant rigged market. Listen here - you'll learn something, guaranteed.
If only a single employee had done this, they'd be sent to prison for fraud, right after being fired. But because this behavior was so widespread and apparently came from top levels, what is corporate person that is Wells Fargo to face?
If 5300 people got sent to prison, the entire culture of underlings doing awful things to please asshole bosses would be interrupted. But, ahem, that would not be good for the Corporatist Oligarchy.
The government has a legitimate interest in regulating monopolies
That's one theory, but it's easily disproven by the reality of regulatory capture. Any system that depends on incorruptible humans is unworkable, in reality.
a large (12") government owned conduit
Conduit, yes, but see above. Markets work wherever they're allowed. Corruption happens wherever government-controlled monopolies are allowed.
The problem as usual is that people are not educated in security.
We could blame the victims, or we actually point the finger at the company making the computer intrusion tools and the government agencies that fail to prosecute them for aiding and abetting crimes.
Hey, Adobe - how about you destroy this company in court for misappropriation of trademark and willful destruction of reputation? It would be small penance for never doing a massive security audit of flash-plugin.
Should we only ever get one chance to use our real names as a brand?
We can do whatever we want with our names, including selling the exclusive rights to use them. What we cannot do (ethically) is then renege on the deal. And getting the courts to try to intercede and vacate the deal is even more ethically repugnant.
(if reports are to be believed - who knows what really happened)
That is biology based thinking. A civilization this advanced has likely made a full transition to machine based AI. There are no "generations", only periodic upgrades.

You wanted a walled garden, you got a walled garden. Enjoy it. .
I stopped reading the APS newsletter because it began wrapping religious "scientism" in the cloak of skepticism. There's no value there.
Personally, I never had a problem using a light bulb before I understood quantum mechanics. There's something wrong with "scientists" who believe they have to have a perfect theory to use a technology. Obviously engineers are different than theorists, but the useful ones in both fields are pragmatists.

Both GSM and CDMA are on the way out.
But it'll be at least a decade before the areas which are now (still) only 2G get VoLTE transmitters, much less the 3G sites.
Watch the indicator on your phone as you drive through the countryside. 3G has been out how long and they still have 2G-only areas?
But ~$100m caught fire. Too soon? Oh well.
And most of Slashdot shit on their attempt to expand Internet access to these people.
I don't pull out the "privilege" card often but, man they quack like ducks.
US customers pay tax in addition to the list price, so they aren't getting these for $90.
"Residents of certain high-tax US states", you mean.
I pay the price that Amazon posts on their products, no more. Live free or die.

She pulls out. Bernie is pushed in as a last moment replacement.
Bernie is a wildcard against Trump. Maybe he pulls it off, more likely he doesn't.
Joe Biden, on the other hand, walks away with the election vs. Trump.
Biden Kaine 2016.

25000 miles sounds like a lot, but all the geo-stationary satellites (50+) are just about that high at about 22000 mi.
So a missed opportunity to put a big rock into a parking orbit for mining. I wonder what the delta-V is on those bad boys.

If it's true that he's suing to get a court to invalidate a mutually-agreed voluntary private contact, then it sure is.

Just kill all the mosquitoes. They are not useful enough to be worth the troubles they cause. And also kill all the ticks and other similar parasites.
So you're not supporting Greenpeace's efforts to reintroduce small pox to the wild either, are you?
No mod points today, but thank you.

One side of me says let Darwinism work its magic, but another side doesn't want to share roads with a guy having an IQ of 25.
Maybe they'll make people into witches and warlocks too - I can propose that, so let's ban the thing!
Actually, I can't figure out if this impulse is to protect the livestock on the tax farm or if it's just Puritanism amok. Fine, "why not both?"
And certainly not some simple studies done by private organizations a la Consumer Reports.
But can you bribe Consumer Reports to force your competitors out of the market?
News DISTRIBUTION service. It's not like they provide any original content like AP, Reuters, etc.
In that AP and Reuters are just distribution services, Facebook is arguably a larger source of original news distribution than those two.
And kudos to their engineering team for not just paying lip service to reliability.
There was no logging before the machines were captured. It's probably turned on now
We're assuming Perfect Privacy doesn't have cryptographically-secure control over its devops? That would be quite an indictment of a VPN provider.
Skepticism is appropriate but that goes beyond.
