I'm with you on the expensive calls--it is an outrage. As far as the staff, the whitelisted IMEIs could be monitored. It shouldn't be hard for the government to figure out the difference between a guard checking in with the wife and the local drug lord ordering hits. Staff could be required to consent to monitoring as a condition of employment.
Another way would be to pass legislation to require carriers to block prison locations from connecting to the towers, with a whitelist of IMEIs for prison staff.
Good point. And imagine the hilarity of the emails (or worse, snail mail) informing breach victims about the settlement. "Honey--what's this letter from Ashley Madison?"
. . . . . . reminding us that those buying IoT devices don't own anything useful, and that your f**cking GARAGE DOOR OPENER could be dependent not only on Internet connectivity but the continued willingness of a service provider (Garage Door Operation As a Service--GDOAAS?) to provide service, at whatever cost they deem fit. I'll leave my light bulbs, refrigerator, door locks, garage door opener, and thermostat off the Internet, thank you very much.
Given his status as a multimillionaire and international playboy, it is unsurprising that Mr. Clampett takes a more cosmopolitan approach to politics, especially given his extensive elementary education (to the sixth grade) and his exhibition of other markets of social sophistication. This is in contrast to the eccentric liberalism espoused by his sister, Elly May, who was reputed to have never worn shoes in her Beverly Hills home to illustrate the plight of the backwoods unfortunates who could not afford them due to regressive economic policies such as those advocated by the local bank president, Mr. Drysdale.
Thanks for the detailed response. I do agree that most workers are not fungible in the way that forty workers working one hour per week can replace one worker working forty hours per week (to reduce the idea to absurdity).
The days of Lyft and Uber being able to use 1099 "contractors" are numbered, no matter whether a Republican or Democrat win this year. The Treasury is not going to miss out on those sweet, sweet payroll taxes for what are employees by any reasonable test for much longer.
Doesn't job sharing help dodge the ACA mandate (e.g. two 20 hour per week employees won't trigger mandatory health insurance coverage, but one 40 hour per week one would, oversimplifying away rules regarding number of employees overall)? I'm surprised this hasn't caught on just so cheap-ass businesses can get away without providing health coverage to their employees.

Love the "talk like Yoda" idea! "Whacked, $RIVAL_GANG_MEMBER must be."

Hmm . . . Looks like Instant Karma

Wonder how many of those $.25 checks are going to get cashed.
Beat me to it. Picturing those New Testament era coders in Phillipi slaving away.
Not so cut and dried. Harvard takes an awful lot of federal money.
I find that user IDs have a lot of meaning.

Thank you again! '15 CX-5 here and can't wait to check it out. Glad to hear they don't block /. at work yet :).
Dude, you're my hero. Going to try that root password on my CX-5.

That'd be like roofies.
No love for Cortana? Or oh, oh, oh, oh-kayyyyy Google?

Bring back my Natalie Portman, NAKED AND PETRIFIED, goddammit. And get off my lawn!
True--the torpedo probably cost more.
. . . a United States submarine has reported the loss of one MK 48 torpedo.
