Who would have thought that a company founded on collecting people's personal data and selling it to third parties would be involved in a scandal about the collection of people's personal data without those people's permissions?
It's almost as if the people using FB had no clue what was going on.
There is something called the Backfire Effect. In short, the more factual information you give to someone pointing how/where they're wrong, the more strident in their viewpoint they become.
How would a link in an email get the seed for their TOTP codes?
Standard phishing. "We see someone's been trying to gain access to your account. Please use the link below to input your username, password and verification questions so we can confirm your identity."
You know what 2FA does? It annoys people. It inconveniences them. It forces them to jump through hoops to do the simplest of things.
You what 2Fa doesn't do? It doesn't make things secure. Why? Because the attack vector is no longer a brute force attack on passwords and answers, but a simple email to the person indicating their account has been compromised and they need to input all their information again. Add a link in the email and you now have complete access to the person's account(s), 2FA included.
If it were not for the police not being called in either situation we might have people trying to get insurance money. These people weren't by chance Chinese? (not the video I wanted but you get the idea)
Get one of the programmers on here who brag how much they're being paid to produce code which is flawless and fully documented to rewrite the protocol.
Once you get one of those experts involved, anything is possible.
If one tolerates bad manners, they grow worse. Our pleasant habitat could decay into the sort of slum Elli-Five is, with crowding and unmannerly behavior and unnecessary noise and impolite language. I must find the oaf who did this thing, explain to him his offense, give him a chance to apologize, and kill him.
WTF? These "smart" devices already aren't secure, send your data to someone at a distant location, and don't always work as the manufacturer says they should. And these same people are worried someone might hack them?
What next? Making computers where the bits and pieces are welded on so one can't upgrade it?
It's so cute when someone thinks private industry will pass on cost savings to consumers.
Remember many, many years ago, during the Bush administration, when gas was ~$4/gallon and both FedEx and UPS raised their rates claiming it was because of higher fuel costs? When gas fell to ~$2/gallon, did you see them lower their rates?
It's like when people think giving companies a tax break will mean all their employees will get a rise in their wages.
What guilds you ask? Way back when, anyone could claim to be a bread maker, or tanner, or brewer. At some point, due to various reasons, those who took pride in their work and felt their standard of excellence should be met by the shyster down the stall banded together and formed guilds.
Those guilds set minimum standards for quality such as no sawdust in bread or beer which wasn't watered down or had spices thrown in to cover up bad tastes or bad alcohol.
Fast forward to today and for somewhat similar reasons, professions want people to meet minimum standards of service. For example, the person who colors your hair should have some basic knowledge of how not to burn your skin or turn your hair into straw when applying the mixed chemicals.
Now I know what many of you are going to say. "I'm a programmer and I've never been involved in a guild or union or anything like them. Employers simply hire me."
Oh really? Those employers never asked what your qualifications were? Never asked how many years experience you had in python or Rust or whatever language they're looking for? They never asked to see examples of your work? Never quizzed you on your knowledge?
What they did is no different than what people being licensed go through. You have to meet some minimum standard set by the employer in the same manner someone has to meet the minimum standard to be a cosmetologist, an attorney or doctor.
To those who say, "Free markets!", what happens when your scalp is burned getting your hair colored? What if the person, somehow, gets the wash in your eyes and causes damage? Your response is most likely to get an attorney to sue them for damages. Question: how do you know that attorney is qualified to handle your case?
Because of the costs involved, will this go the way of other private ventures into the 911 system where Wall Street has sunk its teeth deep into the process? Will taxpayers be on the hook when things go awry?
Do you actually believe someone changed their vote because they read one of these tweets among the tons of other tweets out there?
You understatement the gullibility of the uneducateds. These tweets, and FB posts, and everything else, worked as a feedback loop. It allowed the Russians to shape the message in favor of the con artist, just as WikiLeaks did when it withheld compromising information on him.
These tweets did change votes because their plausibility was so high. After all, who wouldn't believe Hillary Clinton practiced witchcraft and ate babies? This gave ammunition to the uneducateds to show their friends and acquaintances, "See! See what she does." and sway that person's opinion so when it came to vote, that fake story was still on their mind.
Remember, Hillary received nearly 3 million more votes but the con artist won because of the way the electoral college is configured. In a tight race such as this one, one only needed to sway a few people here and there to change the outcome.
The guy was being a jerk because he assumed traffic would be moving any moment and would have to wait the few seconds for you to start your car and move. But, since you were in a traffic jam, one he could obviously see, there would have been plenty of time for you to start your car by simply being observant of the cars in front of by looking through their windows to the cars ahead.
These are the same people when you're at a red light and they keep creeping up on your bumper. Those extra few inches aren't going to make you go any faster, nor help them in anyway, but they're so intent on being the jerk they are, they don't care.
For those who whine what a waste this will be, how it's doomed to failure, WHERE WILL THEY GET THE TREES???, one only need look at what one man can do.
Yes, he's been doing it for 37 years, but to accomplish this little bit of restoration, singlehandedly, leaves little doubt what a literal army of people can do, if this is done correctly.
Steel and aluminum in particular are NOT "easily recycled" - in fact that's a much more expensive process than creating engineered wood of any type by a factor nearing 100x
To use a French term: bullshit. Recycling aluminum is as easy as tossing it into the furnace. Unless you're going to claim mining the bauxite, transporting it, refining it, THEN heating it into ingots is somehow less expensive than transporting flattened cans to a mill and dumping them in the furnace.
If it behaves like an opioid then people need to be aware of the danger associated with it.
Why? No one has bothered to listen to the dangers of drug use which have been going on for decades, nor had second thoughts as people of all walks of life, including celebrities, die from drug use.
You have to remember, people are smarter than the experts and when told something may kill you, or are shown people who have died from using/doing the same, they'll be sure to show you how smart they are by doing the very opposite.
As some on here would say, it's their life. Let them do what they want. They'll die just to prove you wrong.
Nice conflation of nothing. No one ever said socialism was better than a free market, yet for all the talk about free markets it is conservatives who consistently go out of their way to thwart and warp the free market.
If the free market is so good, why were trading collars instituted on the stock markets? Why not let the markets move as they wish instead of confining them?
If free markets are so good, why is it Republican-led towns and cities enact laws to prevent competition in broadband service?
If free markets are so good, why are we subsidizing multi-billion dollar companies such as Exxon with taxpayer money?
If free markets are so good, why are taxpayers being taken to the wash to the tune of $4 billion in Wisconsin to entice Foxconn to put in a plant?
If free markets are so good, why did George Bush hand over $700 billion of taxpayer money to J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, and a whole host of other Wall Street firms and banks so they could pay out their bonuses?
As to those companies you mentioned, they're the same ones who said raising the minimum wage would cripple them. And as for those $1,000 bonuses, yeah, work 20 years at WalMart and get the bonus. $1000/20 = $50 for each year worked. That's $4.16 per month. Around.15 cents for each day you worked for them. Wow. Just staggering how generous they are.
Tell us, how many times did those at the top get raises, bonuses, stock options and other perks during those same 20 years? Why weren't the employees getting similar treatment throughout that time? You know, trickle down.
If we are not going to hold the shooter responsible,
Why should the shooter be held responsible when the ONLY reason he was there was because of the moronic snowflake who made the call in the first place? Had the snowflake not gone off the deep end because of a simple game and made the call, none of this would have happened.
The only one responsible for this man's death is the coward who had done this same stunt several times before and gotten away with it.
Hollywood is pathologically incapable of making a movie that conveys a conservative message
Wall Street and The Wolf of Wall Street don't convey the conservative message of private industry championing over government interference, where free markets know best, where those who takes risks are rewarded, where personal responsibility takes hold?

Agreed. For as much as Russia has and keeps doing, we seem hellbent on racing to catch up to them.

Unless you're going to claim mining the bauxite, transporting it, refining it, THEN heating it into ingots is somehow less expensive than transporting flattened cans to a mill and dumping them in the furnace.
Oh wait, you don't have to make up more bullshit. Recycling scrap aluminium requires only 5% of the energy used to make new aluminium.
For steel, only 25% of the energy needed to process raw ore is needed to remelt steel.
If it behaves like an opioid then people need to be aware of the danger associated with it.
