I'm not sure about this. You seem to be suggesting that he should have yielded to authoritarianism without being able to state his case. I kinda get it -- he who runs away lives to fight another day. Maybe. Yield to the dictator du'jour. Acquiesce to those in charge simply because they are "in charge". The people have no power. I don't particularly like where this is heading.
I'm trying to imagine the response if it had been an elderly black woman or a man wearing a ghutrah.
oaf dot com. Has that delicate air of, let us say, ignorance mixed with a helping of incompetence an a whiff of disregard for the users. I also detect a bouquet of greed and a woody essence of concern for little but Marissa's golden fudge-packing parachute.
... there are no immediate plans to offer similar protections to families of ordinary means, despite a recent survey by the firm Accenture that found as many as 1 in 4 Americans has been the victim of data theft...
I think they mean because a recent survey... Etc. It doesn't do the shareholders any good to be paying claims to 25% of your clients.
I guess I ain't got religion yet. Quantum computing seems like the CS dept's answer to cold fusion.
Hey! I've got an idea -- cold fusion powered quantum computing! It can compute the proof that Martians are living in Grovers Mill, NJ and using faster-than-light neutrinos to tap Trump Tower from Obama's secret underground military base near the Lincoln Memorial.
Recent events (Stuxnet, Mirai) and revelations (wikileaks) indicate just how vulnerable software-dependant systems are to unauthorized control and manipulation. Count on the robots being hacked.
That would be me. Planted the north fourtay with mi-lennial twee tars. Hybrid ya know. They is comin right along. Put in genex eye-pods down along the creek. Not doin so good theyah. I bleve it is one them "bandwidth" issues I read bout. My wife says til it under and go back to ethanol corn holers.
Is good for the gander. In other words, will our elected representatives consent to genetic screening? I, for one, would like to see their Î4 stats made available for analysis.
It makes me wonder why the recent revelations have been about US cyber espionage efforts. Nothing about Uncle Vlad's hacker groups, fancy bear / cozy bear / funny hair bear / gay bear boys in flaming bondage bear, although that last one may have been a group I heard at SxSW. In any case, maybe the US isn't so hot at vetting it's people, or Kislyak knows how to turn people. Maybe the US can't get the goods on other cyber espionage groups. Or maybe they have and they ain't sayin nothin.
Bringing down the average for everyone in our time zone. My wife's motto is "once every five years, whether we need it or not". Thank god for reddit gonewild. Oops. Can I edit that comment??
I merely pointed out that any and all possible actions that would dissuade the perpetrators are forbidden, effectively rendering the law useless.
All the Slashdot threads will focus on the technology. Firewall this, DDOS that. It is not a technological problem -- it's a people problem. Today it's done with computers and networks. Fifty years ago it was telephones and prank calls or postal mail with white dust. The attacker is anonymous and remote, which does not require great physical distances. That virtual distance isolates the attacker from the victim and breaks the bonds of shared humanity. Like viewing the victim from behind a one-way mirror, the attacker feels safe, secure and superior and becomes emboldened to do things they would not do if they were face to face with the victim. If they feel like they can get away with it, they will do it again. This law ensures that.
Obviously not a very useful skill for an amazon warehouse worker replacement, but it would be pretty cool / scary to see this thing coming down a halfpipe.
I have this mental picture of a robot trying to assemble a working airplane from a box with Legos, Lincoln logs, Tinker toys, Erector set parts, playdoh and silly putty, It may look like an airplane but I ain't gonna fly on it.
Of course there are many requirements specification languages. I doubt if any of them cover tribal knowledge or situations where the people being relied on to provide the specifications, sensing that they were about to be automated out of a job, supplied incomplete or inaccurate data. In this case, the Microsoft tool would be demonstrating GIGO -- Garbage In, Garbage Out. On the other hand it would do it much faster and more efficiently that a team of developers who, if they were diligent, who start asking questions about inconsistencies in the spec.
The "Close Ad" link at the bottom of the m.SlashDot.org page is really tiny and nearly impossible for me to hit. More often than not, I miss the "close" and click on the ad or a link in the story. Using a stylus has helped, but those advertisers have to pay Slashdot and don't get any business from me.

He brought this on himself ...

Or was it "Release the Kraken"? Brain not work. Too much crackin'.
Maybe they should make an offer to Taylor Huddleston.
We're with The Government and you're under arrest. You and Robert Kahn are credited with "inventing" TCP/IP which is a key technology now used by internet villians. Unfortunately we can't arrest Chris Sholes, the developer of QWERTY, but we've already locked up Federico Faggin, Ted Hoff and the gang of Intel thugs who claim to have developed the first microprocessor. We're headed to Redmond after we're done with you.

A Bitcoin fiver would make it worth my time. Healthcare ain't cheap; and could get a lot more expensive or completely unobtainable.
Make America Grim Again - or something like that...
Make America Greatly Depressed.

So DDOS'ing some computer ... is ok?

victims can’t take any actions that destroy data on another person’s computer, causes physical injury to someone, or creates a threat to public safety
The hackers are quaking in their valenkis.
For me, salary is not the same as take-home pay or disposable income. Probably for you too. If applicable.
