No its more like, we are taking away your really efficient useful department file server that you can easily share and exchange documents on with this horrid web application.
Instead of just being able to efficently drag and drop files or save documents directly to a path from an application you get open your browser and navigate this website everytime.
No you refuse?
Okay well there is explorer integration that makes it look like file sever again! You will love it, oh well you can only copy files back and fourth in Explorer or your Microsoft Office applications, you'll need to save your third party applications documents locally and then copy the file. Its several orders of magnitude slower than the file server was! Also you will be able to open documents just fine but inexplicably get spurious connectivity errors that prevent you from checking it out for edit. When that happens just save a local copy and hope nobody else also tries to edit the document before you can upload your changed copy, or you can go back to the web browser and manually check it out. Its better though! We insist its better!
Every end user I know at every company that uses it calls it "Swarepoint'. Collaboration software it may be but its the worst productivity killer I have ever met!
I don't know, I mean IANAHS (I am not a heart surgeon) but it seems to me that we are using all kinds of imaging equipment to do things like laparoscopic surgeries that we could not have done before. This isn't like the lane departure warning sensor in your car failing, where you can just drive like you always used to do. Its seems very possible that the loss of imaging equipment in the OR mid surgery could throw the entire plan off in away that very well could endanger the patients life.
Even monitoring equipment: Is a modern anesthesiologist prepared to wait for nurse to have to count out a pulse in the middle of a procedure that was supposed to be done with technical assistance?
I have often wondered about this. Does Microsoft sell Windows license with a EULAs that don't contain prohibitions for uses cases like these?
The Microsoft software was designed for systems that do not require fail-safe performance. You may not use the Microsoft software in any device or system in which a malfunction of the software would result in foreseeable risk of injury or death to any person.
In most other engineering professions if you picked a component specifically labeled and sold as not fit for use case you'd be taking on all kinds of liability. Can you imagine if an architect decided to build a parking deck and spec'd concrete be mixed from a cement product labeled "not for structural use?"
I can hear the lawyers salivating at the very idea. Yet Windows is used in off label ways seemingly all the time.
To be fair on access scanning can be really harmful to performance and in many cases cause crashes and other I/O problems with applications that do heavy I/O with large files.
AV is basically only a valid approach to security in situations where high availability is not a hard requirement.
To accomplish this, the anti-virus software needs to be configured to scan only the potentially vulnerable files on the system, while skipping the medical images and patient data files.
Right because there is no possible way the application could have a parsing bug handling patient files, that could lead to buffer overflow and an RCE or anything like that.
Its also true that similar bugs have never been found in commonly used image handling libraries...
Oh wait the second one is definitely not true and the first has at least a non-zero probability.
Its worse than that. Lets go ahead and assume from this day forward nobody under government employee with access to the keys or control of key escrow system decides to do anything that is against law on their own behalf or the governments. Lets even assume they respect the gravity of the situation and always take the utmost care in their jobs, doing everything by the book every-time, never being lazy, never getting phished because they failed to perform a verification procedure completely and correctly etc.
You still have the basic problem of information wanting to be free. All those keys themselves are lots of informaiton all the data they are protecting is more information that other actors want. Any government entities that control that data will have epic sized targets painted on them. Every espionage agency around the globe will be after them ( so advanced state actors ), every criminal syndicate ( so people with time and money ) and all the usual 'wako' types that might have a political axe to grind: some will want to simply want to DOS the system, others will want to get and publish the goods to watch the world burn...etc.
- We have seen this already with CAs being targeted (state owned and commercial a like)!
In the end its an entropy problem. Those keys and the secrets they protect represent high information concentration, it will want to flow to low concentration. The bigger the system the more it will cost the greater the danger it will pose.
You think the inter connected of the financial system poses an global risk? Wait until you see what happens when you create a system were a single breach could leave the communications system upon which that and most other basic street level commerce depends suddenly unprotected!
The mechanization of farming was in response to a shrinking labor pool at that time
That simply isn't true. In the late 18th Century people like Washington and Jefferson with large plantations were experimenting with ever more mechanized mills, and mechanical threshing machines. They had SLAVE labor available to them! They were automating because even workers you did not have pay were not as economically efficient as automation promised to be, and well before a competitive labor market existed at that.
We are perilously close to this deflationary spiral in my observations.
which is how the economy corrects. Basically prices will have to start falling and continue falling until people can afford to buy back into the game with their existing capital.
What really tips the scales for most potential buyers in the mortgage interest tax deduction. That moves the needle quite bit even for your typical 30year fixed on a $200 home. In most cases it makes it awful attractive compared to trying to rent a similar property.
poor planning on their part does not a catastrophe for me make. Those cities have probably contributed a great deal more even on a per capita bases to the global CO2 levels than the folks on the hill tops have.
Nature is amoral, its a complex system of rules and feedback. Sometimes you win sometimes you lose.
You can't which is why our system was designed with sunshine in the fist place. The government simply should not utilize so much secrecy.
I get that it might be necessary to keep the warrant application process secret so that the evidence can't be destroyed but the court documents related to the warrant application should be entirely public the moment the warrant is served.
The investigated parties should have the right to know they have had a lawful warrant executed against them.
True but when someone tells you that you get the choice of having another shit sandwiched forced down your gullet or you can have what is in the mystery box at some point it make sense to take a chance on the box.
Because that would open a can of worms nobody really wants opened: Is the picture dad just took of mom bathing their new infant for the first time in the kitchen sink CP? If he does it with his smart phone and Google's algorithm spots it a decision would have to be made by someone some place. Even if Google's algorithm had an 'exclude family members rule' that could turn ugly for Google the first time they failed to report some actual abuse.
no matter how you try to implement mercantilism. Sure, you might stop US customers from buying, but even though you raise the price in the US, there's nothing stopping say Russia or Japan from buying their steel.
Nonsense there might not be much you can do about Russia but you can certainly put back the old East-West first world second world system. Its easy as telling our security umbrella clients you WILL participate in our trade embargos or we WON'T provide the military protection when you require it.
"Hey Japan it would be a shame if we just let the Chinese do whatever they wanted in the South China Sea."
Mercantilism certainly did work in the past and it certainly could work again.
Yes, they should that is the right thing for their people and governments to try to do.
I would argue its also the right thing for our government to try to secure 'a good deal' for American's and American business where it can be hand.
I am totally in support of mercantilism as a foreign policy; I just want to combine it with a laissez-faire capitalist low tax system of benign neglect as a domestic policy.
Hikers have a term from when trail maintainers or even just other hikers do things that seem destructive and just don't make any kind of sense to or for anyone: "aggressively stupid"
This term simply could not apply better to most of our national government.
Is that easy? So when Chow Wang comes on visit from China and uses his VPN software from back home that isn't US pwnd are we going to jail him? How will the their government feel about us jailing their nationals for such a small offense, especially when its an important party member or business leader? Oh you think China might be cooperative...
Okay what happens when its a Saudi citizen? We can't even seem to release the results of an investigative report without triggering an international incident.
I don't see this as easy or practical at all from an enforcement perspective. If we are going to let visiting foreign nationals have non-pwned encryption, the argument its going to be an effective anti-terrorism control goes out the window. Which leaves you with what this probably is a naked 4th amendment abuse, by a notoriously statist Senator.
So what you saying is self-identifying as this or that does not make it so?
So people can self identify as members of a political movement "anonymous" but since they don't actually share a common view it does not a movement make.
I suppose its the same way calling yourself a girl or a guy does not magically change the genitals you have or your actual sex. Interesting.
Care to explain why the US market has recovered faster than the EU? Everyone on the left agrees we did to little stimulus and yet here we are and there they are. Greece is about to collapse again, Spain and France have deep likely unsolvable structural problems... The one nation that is doing exceptionally well Germany adopted the more conservative policies...
Lets face it, progressives are just as bone headed as their reactionary counter parts. There really is a middle right leaning road the yields the best results.
Its also true that just about every indie band in the northeast ever has crammed all their stuff into the back of Volvo wagon. Go to Portland the hipster crowed loves their Volvo's.
Uber might be one thing where it comes to flaunting the laws around livery services, but exactly which rules do Tesla and Apple not have to play by. Lets face it BB might have better technology in some areas but not all. It turned out the market cared more about spaces where Apple had an edge. Tesla is doing well as well. Is autopilot a fully autonomous system no, nor is it on most commercial air craft. It can do a lot but it still assumes an attentive pilot(driver), that does not make it useless. A lot people like driving, I would wager most current Tesla owners qualify as driving enthusiasts. A fully automatic system might not actually appeal all the much to them anyway.
Volvo really is just crying here about not being cool anymore. Their hipster customers are moving on and they can't deliver a product that will bring them back on the time scale they need. To frigging bad.
yes but what we have established there are a significant number of bad actors. What we can't always do is tell the good ones from the bad. When we can't the safest thing to do is to assume malice.
Therefore, I would argue the only rational thing to do is a complete house cleaning, rip and replace approach to entire agencies.
Its possible that virus on infected device causes it to write any attached media. Maybe the plane shows up as mass storage. Next victim device comes along and attaches the plane as storage. This devices does some brain dead autorun type BS and gets infected.
