It will never happen until regulations demand it, or at least there is real accountability and real penalties to the careers of the executives responsible.
The fundamental problem is that people are horrible at assessing risk.
Then add in that the people who end up being decision makers over IT often don't have a clue about the things they are making decisions about.. and of course it ends in disaster.
IT decision-makers end up being finance guys rather than tech guys at most non-tech organizations. Their bonus comes from keeping the budget looking good so what do you expect?
The reality is that IT and IT Security are simply not respected disciplines at most organizations (that are not directly tech related) and they never will be until there are some fundamental changes.
collaboration and communication you'd the usual office layout would be reversed:
Managers would be in the open space so they could coordinate things effectively with one another and people with actual work to do would have the offices so they could concentrate.
You can say that about practically any security breach.
Mistakes happen and the issue is that you'll never be 100%, particularly in a big, complex organization.
If you're on defense, you lose. Therefore it is important to treat security as risk mitigation and assume you're going to fail so that you can detect and react to breaches.. hopefully before you lose your 200GB of data.
Unfortunately, most companies don't treat security as an important function and under fund and undermine it.
To date there is ZERO proof climate change is affected by humans. And yet the scientific community which keeps reminding us that "correlation does not imply causation" keep saying the "evidence" is overwhelming (again there is none). Is the climate rising? There is evidence to support that claim but it is hardly overwhelming and there is also research that seems to contradict (no I'm not talking about THAT "research") these findings. So without any factual research to tie humans to the research supporters of the theory turn to name calling anyone who calls them on their BS "climate-deniers". While there are a select few who simply deny climate is changing the vast majority do not. We simply refute the CONCLUSION that it is caused by human action. And rightly so. Show me some proof and I'll listen. When there is money to be made and politicians involved take everything you hear with a ton of sodium. Take a look at how much money Al Gore made buying and selling carbon credits which weren't even a thing in the US until his inconvenient lie prompted congress and the EPA to create them.
You're an idiotic partisan hack. Do you really think that the people working on these studies don't know the stats 101 meme you're using as a crutch?
During all the hype about Ryzen I kept telling people that I imagine Intel has something sitting on the shelf they'll bring out now. They just didn't have a reason to until challenged.
Surely people didn't think their designers were just sitting on their hands while they were milking the the current lines?
Good to see some competition heating up again though..
None of those executive orders will have, or have had enough time to affect much of anything economically.
If what he is trying to do is crazy enough that even the "we've completely lost our minds"-GOP won't follow through with it then I'd say that isn't a problem, that is a feature.
Checks and balances and all that.. something those of us watching your dumpster fire from afar are pretty happy about right at the moment.
We switched to Office365 this month from 2010, and our end users are sick of it. They complain about re-authentication, along with bugs and other issues. Many people are switching back to our Google webmail instead.
For people to finally see through the reality distortion field around this guy... there is exactly 0 chance of a hyperloop being built to connect those cities any time soon.
While we're at it, there is 0 chance he's going to colonize Mars in his lifetime, and 0 chance Tesla is going to dislodge the major car makers too.. they might make it as a battery company, I guess.

Another victory for capitalism! wooooo!
Awww the poor racist and sexist snowflake is triggered and threatened by competition.
No where does it say these people won't also have the requisite skills required.
The world became more integrated and connected since the 1950s, I'm sorry you were left behind.
Gaming is much more mainstream than in the past and there are a lot more female gamers too.
They want their games to appeal to a bigger audience.

You're the exception to the rule!

We all know the reason why this is not the case.

The effects of CO2 etc. are very well understood.
How a generally pro-science forum like slashdot can have a good chunk of its posters revert to fox news talking points on politically charged issues.
The same, tired, debunked, denier arguments again and again..

If most of the VPN providers aren't selling customer / traffic data.
Backed by rational thought and informed actors has to die.
People do stupid things all the time.
It has been confirmed that the UK Home Secretary is pants-on-head retarded.
Man.. the excuses.. nuclear is always coulda shoulda woulda..
If they had to pay the going rate they wouldn't bother in the first place.

I think we have to give Trumpo some credit.
hahahaha... no. I mean, unless you can point to something he actually accomplished? Besides twitter rants?
As usual, people vastly overstate the figurehead's ability to influence the economy.
The government might as well do it because private industry isn't going to as long as they can milk the existing infrastructure.
So far most of the money the government has given them to expand infrastructure has been gobbled up by contract loopholes rather than laying cables.

You did it wrong.
Microsoft is irrelevant and dying.. oh wait..

Go ahead and mod me to oblivion.
Amit Pai is that he is a Republican. That equals liar and hypocrite for those of you keeping track at home.
At this point hasn't the shine of being lucky enough to be an early employee at Google worn off?
Start holding upper management and their bonuses accountable.
Otherwise it is going to take regulatory action to force companies to maintain a minimum level of security.
People just don't care until disaster hits.
putting all your eggs in one basket makes the basket very attractive!
