It's not data or the privacy aspect, but it's the assumptions made based on incomplete models.
Unfortunately, there are not enough data points, or rather it is currently impossible to collect and make use of enough data points to create an accurate model to predict/depict a person's actions, thoughts, intent, and whether or not they do something.
Also unfortunate is that people are being prosecuted based on assumptions, not actual evidence.
Arguing with my mother, my father, their siblings, their friends (all Chinese descent), I have learned that they can't handle criticism.

It is too costly to assume that a specified level education is good enough to assess whether or not someone has the innate ability to recognize problems and come up with creative solutions. It's one thing when you're poaching MIT doctoral candidates, it's completely another when you're bringing in 23 year old security researchers with 10 years of experience using creativity to find ways to get into stuff they don't belong.
If you're a startup looking for a very unique skillset, focusing on education as a filter will likely prevent those candidates from ever meeting the hiring manager, the guy that actually wants to hire that guy.
When you're looking to revolutionize an industry, you don't hire a book smart manager w/ an MBA degree. You hire someone from the operations staff who's been through multiple iterations of process improvements for their input on what's been tried, what doesn't work, and what does.

The funny thing is that the actual experts are the folks who are working as contractors at Facebook (FB), these are the folks are usually the types looking for new jobs. It's really interesting regarding the dynamic between Full Time Employees (FTE) and contractors. A lot of the FTEs at FB managing their contractors don't have a good grasp of what the actual work is. Another issue causing a clash between FTEs and Contractors is age and experience gap. Mid 20s FTEs with no management background told to handle a large group of contractors, their only qualification is that they're an FTE. lol.

Author mentions, "To lessen the dangers, state or local governments could require fire-resistant building materials, like stone, brick, and cement", fails to understand that California is Earthquake Country and the conditions that cause fires.
While I agree that wood shingle roofs don't help, he doesn't understand that firebrands that fly in from miles away under high speed winds and then make it underneath minute cracks of roofing tiles causing fire w/ cellulose insulation.
A San Diego community actually has an ingenious method of mitigating the risk in this sort of danger, they have roof mounted sprinklers across the entire property. When a fire approaches, all the homes are went down, problem solved. Plus the increased humidity in the form of water mist kills practically all fire brands flying through the air.
I'm not entirely certain regarding this. A person who is at least knowledgeable at a high level will have the ability to prioritize parts of their CyberSecurity Program. Using technology and being an expert at it isn't the issue, understanding the OSI layers, on the other hand, are.
I think the resource consumption has actually been a lot less of an issue now as CPU speed and multi-threaded systems have advanced.
AV got a bad rap in the 90s because it was resource intensive, however the scanning operations haven't increased drastically in terms of cpu time in the past 20 years.
Could it be an issue on the slowest systems and those who are unwilling to upgrade after using a system for more than 5 years? Probably. If you're using a middle of the way i5 with sufficient memory and resources, you really shouldn't notice. However, if your system is a nest of adware, middleware, search toolbars, and other random junk because you frequent illicit streaming sites, your AV might be having a field day.
Practicing good Cyber Hygiene and using a dedicated system or Virtual Machine to screw around is imperative in keeping your system healthy.
..instead you need Behavior-Based Anti-Malware software.
Traditional Anti-Virus relies on virus definitions which are static and rely on virus hunters to find these malicious programs, create definitions from, and then disseminate them to AV endpoints. Behavior Malware Detection software instead uses the heuristic approach and determines what the file is trying to do on your system to determine whether to block, notify, and/or quarantine the files. Because of this, Behavior-based Anti-Malware can protect systems WITHOUT network access or centralized control like traditional AV.
While there are many more methods of protecting your operating system with regular system patching, as compute systems become more and more complex, exploits can be much more dangerous than before. And for systems running healthcare systems that cannot be easily updated due to their sensitive nature, Behavior based detection works very well here.
Absolutely agree. I've worked in Helpdesk, Applications Support, Security Operations, and Policy. The doctors that are the worst offenders simply don't care. They the kind of people you hate at work, they think they know everything and never document anything.
When they leave, take vacation, get sick, don't feel like coming to work, or die, a huge gaping hole of what they covered is missing.
There's a reason there's a term called "Standard of Care", so that every gets the same basic level of care.
These doctors are the kind of people who stand in the way of "standard of care" being high enough to be acceptable.
Doctors will admit it themselves, clinical physicians don't know how to manage their money, they don't know how to manage their resources, they're only good at storing all that medical information that's been trained into them throughout their medical career. Only a few of those many doctors know anything about efficient business processes and practices and are concerned enough about patient care to actually do anything about it. Usually it's left to hospital administrators and/or nursing staff to cover the slack.
If Toyota brought in their process improvement staff, you could only imagine how much more efficient hospitals could run.

Totally correct. The thing is that facebook doesn't run on wishes and dreams.
