But working in an office is such a productivity killer. Sure, the cubicle slaves *look* busy. But in my observation they don't really get very much done.
Check out the liability for spilled Protected Health Information in the Massachusetts Data Security act. IIRC it's $1000 per PHI *record* - not per patient. So you spill a database with a million rows, you're liable for 1 billion dollars. Believe me, that kind of liability will put the fear of God into even the biggest company.

American kangaroo courts are notoriously cruel and unconcerned with justice. Our lawyers & judges are drunk on power and crazed with bloodlust. No country with any self respect at all would surrender one of their citizens to the American Gulag.
The other day I was taking a shit and, against my better judgement, I clicked on one of Facebook's spammy notifications.
First of, the notification itself was an outright lie. "You have 2 new messages". Yet when I opened the damned thing, no new messages for the past month.
Since I was still in the crapper, I decided to peruse my "feed". What sorry and insufferable dregs of humanity I found there! Nothing at all but bold stupidity, unashamed ignorance, supine politically correct bootlicking, semi-literacy, rudeness, and all around craptasticness.
I use Facebook for Messenger, only because quite a few otherwise sane and decent friends refuse to use any other communication tool. Why so many people choose to use the other components of Facebook is a mystery to me. It's shitty software produced by a shitty company full of people acting shitty to one another.
Then I finished my poop, put my phone away, and flushed the toilet. So ended my Facebook experience. Now I only read/. on the crapper.
Who in their right mind would even consider "trusting" Facebook? That company does not even try to hide it's contempt for users and hatred for all varieties of freedom.
Facebook is operated by the "Progressive" nomenklatura for the benefit of the financial oligarchy and their surveillance state. So far as I can tell they make no attempt to hide this, and in fact openly celebrate it.
A plebian user trusting Facebook is like a sheep trusting a pack of hungry wolves.
When a company here's a feminist, SJH, or "Progressive" they are hiring a violent fundamentalist zealot who is committed to spiritual jihad against normal, healthy human culture. They should not be surprised by the inevitable bad consequences.
What did anyone expect? Whispers on the net say Brendan Eich was targeted for witch-hunting and removal not because of his widely-shared beliefs about marriage, but because he refused to play ball on user surveillance.
Imho both terms can apply to software, but they mean different things.
An application is unsecured if there is no intention or attempt to secure it. "The data was available in an unsecured S3 bucket, wide open the world."
An application is insecure when there is intention and attempt to secure it, but that attempt fails due to a software bug or misconfiguration. "The data was available on an insecure 'private' server. At attacker executed a SQL injection attack and gained unauthorized access."
I've had that question in an interview before. Personally I quite like it.
That said, it does lean more toward candidates with a generalist outlook. I've worked with plenty of perfectly competent folks who had more of a specialist outlook. They would do poorly at that question yet perform quite well in some roles.
Now the big question in the current market: what kind of salary are you offering? Is it nearly the same salary you were offering 10 years ago, when purchasing power of a dollar was much higher than today? If so that's a big part of the problem.
Check out the Python library called "Beautiful Soup". Play with it a little, and see how long it takes you to write a script that can to detect the presence of a Google Plus button. (Hint: not very long.) See how much CPU it takes. (Hint: hardly any.)
It's just forum pollution. Post an idiotic racist wallotext over and over again, to disrupt a forum discussing something "inconvenient". It's likely this pollution is paid for by Google's PR firm.

Naw bro, use a synthetic primary key. Although quite rare, people do occasionally change SSN.
Hahahahahahahaha!
So you wanna keep a couple hundred million dollars in a Somali bank? Oh my brother, have I got a great deal for you on a slightly used bridge...
Let's hope not.
The recording industry richly deserves to fail. Their business model is harmful to human culture.
All decent freedom-loving Americans pin our hopes on these unamerican neo-stasi peeping toms getting defunded and disbanded.

"Sleezy and rundown" is an apt description.

Get over it. You're boring.
Yup.

Yup. Extensions are the only reason I use Firefox.
Naw, broham. How is it a conspiracy when it's happening right out in the open?
Bullshit. When it's a handful of people affected, feel free to preach your personal responsibility / public irresponsibility hokum.
When tens or hundreds of millions of people are impacted, it becomes perforce a matter of public policy.
Wow, that's super lame. I wasn't going to use Pale Moon anyways - but now I'm definitely not interested.
Because Google sure does love silencing free speech and abusing its monopoly power.
Break up Google! Antitrust action now!

Take it for what it's worth - YMMV.

Fair enough. It would be pretty nice if more companies would take your approach to interviewing.

Google IS a public utility. The law just hasn't yet caught up with the technosocial reality.
One problem: lawyers, judges, and courts are among the most evil, least trustworthy groups in our society.
