And another view is that CNN pursued a mater of public interest (the video) discovered the originator, investigated their history and found out they routinely posted anti-Semitic and racist posts, discovered who that person was and contacted them for comment. Even 1 year ago they would have published his name without a second thought (just like Fox News or any other publication).
The guy then contacted CNN and convinced them to withhold his name, they did so but noted that if he continued to be a story of interest due to his postings that they wouldn't withold his name again. There is nothing untoward about that, would you have felt better if they just named him without a second thought like they and everyone else would have even a year ago?
I'm just happy we made some progress and they didn't name him straight away. Personally I'm torn about this, I believe people who post stuff like that should be outed to their family and friends so that the people they associate with can know what that person really thinks. But at the same time I don't think people should lose jobs over stuff posted on the internet and I don't believe anyone needs to be national news for views like that.
Such agreements are not legal and no one in the industry takes them seriously. The Government cannot sell monopoly right of way access, it's as simple as that. Public Rights of way are available to the public, that includes any public that serves as a utility.
The reason there are only 1 provider in many locations is because the cost of installing the infastructure is astronomical. It costs around $1500 bucks to pass a house with broadband in cities where homes are no more than 150' apart, in rural areas where homes can be thousands of feet or even miles apart those costs jump to 10's of thousands of dollars. The only reason they have even one service right now is that a community created rural coop installed the lines then eventually sold them to ATT.
There is lots of assistance out there to help bloggers in free speech cases. Sites like popehat help organize and find help for bloggers being threatened or sued by big companies to shut them up. No blogger should surrender without seeking help in the blogger community.
That isn't even the hottest temperature on earth, death valley which is 300' below sea level has always had the highest temperature record for earth.
The hottest air temperature ever recorded in Death Valley was 134 F (56.7 C) on July 10, 1913, at Furnace Creek, which is the hottest atmospheric temperature ever recorded on earth. During the heat wave that peaked with that record, five consecutive days reached 129 F (54 C) or above.
There is a reason the FBI doesn't spend a lot of time on these, according to an article I read MS spent $2million tracking these 4 down. That's a lot of cash for a financial crime that's a few bucks at a time. Particularly considering the FBI tries to avoid low dollar crime (I've heard they won't even talk to you if it's no $5k or more) because it wastes their resources where they can be better spent.
It's not the letting malware through that's an issue, it's that it could include a backdoor right to ring 0 of the kernel. Anti-Virus has full root privileges on Windows, if the Russian FSB (KGB) through it's connections to Kapersky has managed to put a backdoor into the software you've just let the KGB into your network.
You should really stop obsessing about the Clinton's. She Lost, get over it.
It doesn't help the president to point to the person that lost and say they do it as well, all that does is prove the president is as crooked as "Crooked Hillary".
Actually these certificates are far better than a cert you'd buy commercially. The only way to get one is to control a server within the domain name. This is more verification than you get on anything but an EV cert.
There is another article that indicates that while the study was going on employment dropped below 2% forcing wages above the minimum wage level so that the increase had almost no effect because wages had already grown above that point. The UW study had NUMEROUS flaws which were immediately shown right after the researcher went blabbing all over about his cooked results.
Absolutely conclusive evidence until you read the rebuttals. Like the fact that his data excluded all restaurants (almost 35% of minimum wage jobs), excluded any business with more than one location, etc, etc, etc. Just remember, figures never lie but liers can figure.
The data set the researcher used was substandard at best, someone might even argue the data set was cooked to extract the desired result.On top of that he refuses to provide the data to outside users and reviewers making his "research" a fucking black box. But he was at least honest and listed all the problems with the data, just didn't include why excluding more than a 1/3rd of low wage jobs in the study area was a good idea.
He is a reflection of the people that elected him, Boomers, the original Me generation that will be the death of this country through their selfishness.
Baloney. When you add workload in the area of vetting all that happens is the list gets longer and it takes longer to get the visa. There is no deadline. Your argument is baseless.
I wouldn't call 2 years of vetting "letting in the bad guys", that's more scrutiny than someone with top secret classification gets. Your insinuation is asinine, just because you don't know what scrutiny people are getting doesn't mean people aren't being vetted properly.
There is a MASSIVE oversupply of lawyers. New graduates have almost no chance of getting a real lawyer job. Others that have been in the field are starving because there are too many working lawyers for the available work. Couple that with a lawyers in general (not all) of being people with severe moral relativism and you get a LOT of lawyers doing shit like suing Mom and Pop stores because they aren't handicap accessible inside a historic building that's exempt from ADA or manufacturing an accident, much like the jackass like the lawyer behind the main story.
In a normal defamation case this is true, but Murry arguably qualifies as a public person. That sets the defamation standard at malicious intent, even if it's false. This standard is nearly impossible to prove because you must present hard evidence of what was in the mind of the person.
Murry is going to lose this, and depending on which jurisdiction he filed this in and how good their SLAAP law is he will be on the hook for HBO's legal costs. I'd urge HBO to immediately file counter claims so Murray can't back out of the suit (once the defense files counter claims the suit can't be dismissed without the defence agreeing) then file a SLAAP motion. In no time at all Murray will be paying HBO and Oliver a nice fat wad of money.
Murry's a public figure, they can spend 20 minutes calling him names and making up lies about him and he can't do squat unless he can prove they acted with malicious intent. This is nearly impossible to prove because it requires that they know what was in their minds when they filmed it.
It's called free speech and it's the way it should be. Murry the special snowflake that he is deserves this. IMO he's responsible for the deaths of 7 miners in Utah. The man should burn in hell.
Services. The US economy is 80% service based. It may sound silly but this is probably sustainable as people specialize more they will hire other people to do the tasks those people have specialized in. The automated factories will still require techs to service them, programmers to automate them, people to upgrade them, scientists to improve them. Etc, etc, etc.
One of the prime examples is the automotive sector when in the past when automation deployed into the auto factories it displaced large numbers of low pay repetitive labor and created a smaller number of much higher paid jobs services the automation. These higher paid individuals now can afford more and the low skill jobs move to services for these higher paid people. In the end everyone still had jobs but the price was the unskilled labor often saw their wages fall. The days of unskilled labor earning as much as highly skilled professional type jobs is frankly over.
Walmart isn't requiring their Vendors to use Walmarts data and services, they are telling supplies (say of plastic bins) that they can't use Amazon's AWS services for anything including internal server backups or anything else. They are trying to leverage their massive purchasing power to use it against Amazon in another market.
Even if Walmart isn't a monpoly they should not be legally able to require suppliers to avoid all Amazon services including those completely unrelated to retailing as they are using their massive purchasing power as a leverage in outside markets. This is the halmark of what the Sherman anti-trust law tried to prevent, companies with massive leverage using that leverage to displace rivals in unrelated markets. AWS is an unrelated market to Walmart, they do not offer services in the web services market.
Contract terms requiring suppliers not use AWS for internal company services should be illegal as it's an attempt to leverage market share to harm a rival in an orthogonal market. These kind of actions dramatically harm the free market.
You don't even need to bring Trump into this to realize it's a lie and wont' succeed. This isn't the first time they've tried to replace everything and make it all cheaper, every time they try they bring in the IBM's and Oracles and other companies that are absolutely happy to bill to an endless contract and produce absolutely nothing.
The answer here isn't to reform everything, the problem they have now is that the systems are all way to big, designed in the 70's and 80's when everything ran on mainframes. What they have are huge monolithic applications that were developed all at once and have had decades of individual little features patched in. To replace them as the same monolithic monster is frankly impossible. The only way to upgrade these systems is to chop them up into smaller systems, forgo some features in the interim and proceed to slowly replaced a piece or two every year.
Instead what Trump has proposed is what all his predecessors proposed, which is to replace the whole thing all at once. It will fail just like all the other attempts.
His argument is that non-internet toaster won't be produced. The problem with that is that no matter how inexpensive that internet connection module gets, it still adds cost to what is the most basic of electrical devices around (AC Electricity directly connected to heating wires, a simple mechanical switch and spring). A toaster is actually a perfect example of a device that might be sold internet connected, but will never ever be ONLY sold as internet connected. And the simple reason is that internet connection stuff would add cost and the 90% of people that don't want an internet connected toaster wouldn't pay the extra $$ for the connection.

Yea all those Liberal VC people like Peter Thiel.
Just because you think something doesn't make it true.

The day you own CNN you can make that call.
No. RTFM

The NSA didn't leak it, they created the code, wikileaks and an anonymous leaker leaked it. The code was then incorporated into the Wcry ransomeware.
