BTW, for those that think that these were companies that were cracked by ppl walking into the stores, here you go
www.chicagotribune.com/business/breaking/chi-report-jewel-osco-hacked-20140815-story.html
The list of retailers that have been hit by breaches just this year includes Recreational Equipment Inc., CVS/Caremark, Goodwill Industries International Inc., Ebay, Aaron Brothers, Sally Beauty Supply, Home Depot, Sears, Michaels Stores and Neiman Marcus.
And that does not include either Jewel Osco, Target, or Supervalu. In addition, all have been done in less than 9 months.
So, is this ppl running around the nation going into all of these companies? Nope. Possibly a backdoor was found on the network equipment. But, I suspect that they have simply bought some ppl in the nations that they have outsourced to.
1) They run Windows.
2) they have outsourced to India esp. the production.
3) nearly all of these companies do NOT operate in India, EXCEPT for hiring coders/admin.
You have systems admin that are paid less than $8,000 / year. If you are Russia or China, would you spend large sums of money to break into a store to get access to a production system, all while having your insider possibly getting caught, OR, would you spend just 50K, approach an admin that is doing work on production and all s?he has to do, is release a worm quietly on the production, that will NOT hurt other employees?
If we westerners, esp American MBAs, are dumb enough to oursource this work like this, we deserve what we are getting.
Actually, with america not able to directly control what a nation does, it is neither fair nor sophisticated. In fact, it is akin to telling a rape victim that s?he owes their rapist for services rendered.
Instead, we should put an increasing tax on all goods based on where the parts come from. In addition, the normalization should be co2 / $GDP. With this approach nations like India which actually has a low emission / $GDP will have a lower to none existent tax, while nations / states such as China, or wyoming , america, will have high tax unless they change their way.
No, China is NOT moving as fast as possible. They could stop producing new coal plants and buy nuke plants that are produced in America. However, that is EXACTLY what they are avoiding. Chinese leaders do NOT care about the lead, mercury, CO2, etc that they dump into the air and water. What they care about is holding on to power, while winning the cold war that they have with the west.
China claimed that they were going to spend 100's of billions on doing Solar and Wind for China, BUT, for the amount that they put in, the Chinese gov would have been paying 10x what America paid for our solar/wind. Basically, that money went not into developing China's AE programs, but about destroying companies in Germany, Japan, and America.
We NEVER should have given them a single thing about thorium plants. That will come back to haunt us.
And as to the Chinese economics, they are still a centrally planned system. The only parts that are really free market are companies that export to the west. However, to work there, you have to have gov. permission. Otherwise, the gov still tells you where you will work and what you will earn.
Thank you for the work. I worked on Mars Global Surveyor and Suspect that I had the same feeling when we lost MGS
And yeah, when OCS's shroud failed to release, I was miffed, but far more miffed when they got the next contract for OCO2. Thank god that it was turned over to ULA.
Oddly, not sure if you have noticed, but 100% of OCS's failures were earth sats. That has always struck me as interesting.
But, I suspect that when the initial batch of numbers come from OCO2, that it is going to drive a lot of politicians crazy. We continue to focus just on America, when I THINK that we contribute only about 13-15% of total. The idea that so many focus on stopping America, while ignoring China and their constant growth in CO2 is just amazing to me. In fact, it is scary. There is a real lack of logic by both the far right and left WRT to this issue and others like it.
has gone up since Sputnik.
Right now, most of the world's CO2 emissions numbers are based on what gov claim that their nation consumed in coal, oil, and nat gas. Yet, it does not take into account issues such as inefficiencies, etc. Most of the numbers dealing with 3rd world and even some of the western nations are really wrong.
With this, it will show the TRUE flow of CO2 outward, as well as into, of nations.
Sadly, it will also become controversially once the far left realizes that America is NOT the massive polluter that they claim, but that instead, it will turn out that most of the 3rd world nations are some of the WORST.
BUT, where the real issue will come in, is once it shows that China produces more than 40% of the CO2, and not the 33% that is expected.
At that point, does the world finally point to China and say enough is enough, or will the far left still insist on giving them a MASSIVE out?
Exactly. Yet, Texas had the test area of SpaceX as well.
However, I think that because of gigafactory, combined with the new launch site, that the texas GOP dropped out of all this and left it up to my 2 CONgress critters and the Alabama bozo.
Oh, I am seeing more than ever from them. In fact, about 4 years ago, there were FEW ACs that would knock SpaceX. Instead, it was individuals that either do/had worked in space environment.
Now, I see loads of ACs, of which over and over, it appears to be 2-4 ppl that are trolling. Based on their writing and what I recall, it seems like 2-3 of them are only on the SpaceX stories, though it seems like the other couple also post about Tesla.
LOL.
I hate to point this out to you, but it took Boeing/L-Mart/ULA well over a decade to get their launches for Atlas V/Delta IV going on schedule.
And SpaceX being even 12 months behind is actually pretty darn good.
SpaceX is moving at a rate of 1-2 launches / month, which is better than what ULA does.
Actually, ULA is here in Colorado.
RIght now, it is obvius that SpaceX is going to win the up and coming NASA human launch. All of these GOP were part of the group that told NASA to cut the private space funding from 3 down to 1, expecting that it would be Boeing. However, it has backfired VERY BADLY for them, and they are working hard to block the contract going to SpaceX.
Once SpaceX wins it, we will see the GOP basically but forward a bill telling NASA to either award it to Boeing, OR, they will more likely fully fund all 3, if not 4 (ATX with Liberty), companies.
Right now, there is a major contest going on with NASA. Basically, SpaceX, Boeing, and SNC are battling to win a contract to provide human launches for NASA. Interestingly, this was to go to all 3 companies, but it was the GOP that insisted that it be narrowed down to 1 company. Now, they are nervous that the obvious winner is SpaceX and are going to great lengths to block this.
Hopefully, SpaceX will win this contest, because I have no doubt that the house GOP will change their minds and suddenly fund all 3 companies.
Sadly, the corruption and treason runs very deep in the GOP.
Well, he is not going to. We have several ACs running around that obviously work for ULA and are desperate for their jobs. GothMolly is one of those POS that will continue to troll and astroturf.
In the end, if these ppl are Americans, they are traitors in that they will lie about other companies/ppl to protect their jobs and continue to push BILLIONS to Putin.
Yes, a SECONDARY load that was not to go into production was not placed in the correct orbit. However, it was because NASA said that F9 could not correct for an issue.
In addition, the company decided to continue with SpaceX because they had done such a good job.
Sounds good to me. I think a railgun that shoots out the weapons and their depots would make sense. Then have troops follow in and then decide if they need to shoot or noth.
How is re-doing work from the 60's a show of hard science or invention?
And what is hypocritical with this situation.
Note that I do not agree with his notion, but I see nothing wrong with his current stance.
Exactly.
I went to zion nuke plant when it was first opened in the early 70's. And as a schoolkid, I thought it was cool. BUT, it was killed back in the 90's. Why? Because a tech made a SIMPLE mistake. Now, he never caused a meltdown or even came close, BUT, he did manage to destroy ONE of 2 reactors. Because it was a dual reactor (shared the same steam generator to keep down costs), once 1 reactor was destroyed, the other could not be used.
BUT what was the real problem? It was because it was a gen 2 reactor. Simple as that.
We need new reactors, that will not fail and cause a massive loss. In addition, they need to be cheap to put in.
At this time, I wish that Obama would stand up and say that we are going to guarantee buying 10 of the new mPower reactors to use as desalination plants. In addition, we should back buying 10 instances of something like TransAtomic and Ideally, 10 of Flibe.
By doing this, we get these companies going, and restart our nuke industry, which has been sold off.
When you have the laws of physics on your side, it is hard NOT to fail.
The old reactors required ACTIVE work to stop them from melting down.
OTOH, the molten salt requires an ACTIVE system to keep it going and a simple passive one to shut it down.

It is cheaper and faster to simply buy an insider.

Because, based on other issues, we were supposed to be cooling off. However, the truth is, that we continue to climb.

LOL. And yet, it is not a failure for your company when they lose a secondary load esp. when money was not transferred.
LOL.

And SpaceX being even 12 months behind is actually pretty darn good.

you will note that Texas CONgress critters have been a big fighter against SpaceX.
However, this time, they did not participate in this. Why?
They do NOT want less delays. The GOP is setting up to find fault with NASA's upcoming selection of SpaceX.
Actually, ULA is here in Colorado.
RIght now, it is obvius that SpaceX is going to win the up and coming NASA human launch.

He will not. He is as much a part of this as the other Rs.
Sounds good to me. I think a railgun that shoots out the weapons and their depots would make sense. Then have troops follow in and then decide if they need to shoot or noth.
Seriously, this would be better used on a tri-pod mounted railgun that is used to guard a base.
