The ideal situation is that the Certificate owner generates a signing request and has that signed, so the original key does not go outside the certificate owner.
However, there is nothing in the current setup to prevent a certificate authority from generating a request in the name of any domain and signing it. That's what appears to have happened here.
The real question is 'why?'. The explanation ("testing") doesn't pass muster. Someone would have to deploy these certificates on a service that was either a Google property or was masquerading for a Google property. Does Google outsource the deployment of certificates? I would doubt this very much, which suggests that this wasn't so much an accident as the influence of a TLA.
For your analogy to be comparable it would have to be Target and Home Depot following people around who leave the store to see where else they shop, what they buy, and what they look for in catalogues/flyers. And then sell that to 3rd parties.
Or just getting their customers to sign up for "a loyalty card", which supermarkets seem to be very successful at.
The police have no duty to the public? That's your position? Really?
Did you read the link, idiot? The courts have decided that the police do "...not owe a specific duty to provide police services to the plaintiffs based on the public duty doctrine."
The police were called, and they are compelled and required to investigate once called. They don't just show up and say, "Eh, whatever," and leave
Next time there is a burglary in your street, see if the police actually investigate it, or just say: "here is a report number to give to your insurance company".
You make a judgement call, and the teachers here erred on the side of caution.
Someone thought that there was a bomb in the school? What is the proper reaction? Obviously, leave the bomb where it is, evacuate the school and call out the bomb squad.
In this case, no one thought it was a bomb. They thought that it was a fake bomb. No one thought that there was any danger.
Why did they think that some electronics were a bomb? Do you think that their thought processes had anything to do with his name and skin color? In other words, this is just simple racism.
See it turns out the money wasn't a gift. The government didn't say "here's free money," rather they made loans, acting as the lender of last resort
The problem wasn't really the loan itself. The problem was that the interest rates on the loans did not reflect the fact that the borrowers were typically insolvent before the loan. The low interest rates constituted a gift.
No, you're on salary. The clock premise is a little disingenuous from the get-go, isn't it? You're simply expected to work around 8 hours a day, 40 a week. Sometimes weekends, depending on the current project. If you don't get comp time for that later btw, then your job sucks. That's the reality for 99% of traveling jobs that anyone on/. might have. (If hourly traveling nurses are getting screwed out of significant drivetime, then that's a problem I guess, but I don't think we are talking about them.)
Well done: judging a European court ruling against USA norms and laws. </sarcasm>
What's the difference between an employee and a contractor? The contractor doesn't receive any benefits. Since the uber drivers do not receive benefits, they are contractors.
False dichotomy. Many employees do not get benefits.
I don't think I've seen a checkbook or anyone using one after 1985.
A year or two back, someone in my office had to get a checkbook. He had never had a checkbook before. The reason to get the checkbook was not to make payments but to provide a "void" check to the company that processes our payroll.
What Texas does have is the 3rd highest property taxes on owner occupied homes as a percentage of home value
A complete irrelevant metric. The percentage is high only because home prices are low in Texas. Instead, a much more relevant metric would be to take a typical home (1500 sq ft?) and calculate the average property tax in dollars for that house and then compare that dollar value across states.
The new Apple TV will try to do all these things, including support for apps...."Essentially, you'll be able to search for a show or movie once, and see results from all sorts of different sources."
You mean like owners of Roku and Tivo boxes have been able to do months/years?
A side effect of this ambitious goal is that the device will more than double in cost, going from $70 to $150.
Apple is trying to reproduce its success from the cellphone market in the set top box. Bring out features that were already available on competing platforms and charge a premium for them. Obviously, the reason for Apple TV's lack of success is that its price was too low.
<Just waiting for the Apple fanboys to mod me down!>
If this had happened in Texas (another state that produces a lot of oil, though in general doesn't have all the natural resources Alaska has), those $1.2 billion would amount to... less than $45 for each of it's 27 million inhabitants.
Something else Texas doesn't have: a state income tax.
When Lord Byron was attending Trinity college at Cambridge, he kept a bear. He was hauled in to be told to get rid of the bear, because domestic animals were prohibited by college rules from college rooms. His response: the bear is not a domestic animal. He got to keep the bear!
Reading the article, it sounds like Turkey has something more like an investigating magistrate -- a cross between a prosecutor and judge. This is (or was) common in civil law jurisdictions (eg, France). Scotland has something similar: a Procurator fiscal.
No, the ads just move out of ad spaces into 'native' space, embedded with content and interspersed into feeds and streams.
Or the adverts become articles, with no indication that they are sponsored. One newspaper website that I read has a "monthly limit" (not effective when you use private browsing) of 10 pages. But even after this limit is reached, some articles can still be read. I assume that the the newspaper is receving payment when someone reads the article. However, there is nothing to indicate that the article is an ad, or sponsored.
This is why I am not on board with the idea of https everywhere. Recently, I started seeing obviously malware ads in the middle of Words With Friends (OK, maybe Words with Friends is malware!!). Configuring my squid proxy, I was able to block not only the site that was serving the ads (gaseview.com), but also the ad network that I think was providing the links to the malware ads (mopub.com).
With https everywhere it is much more difficult to block such ads.
It is, to some people. For example, with more funding, the IRS could cut down on tax fraud and increase tax revenues by far more than the cost of employing the additional tax inspectors.
Or the EPA could investigate more violations of and enforce environmental laws, etc, etc..
That's at least part of the "conservative" pitch to reduce government: starve the executive branch of the resources it needs to actually enforce the law.
The accountant is clearly worried that his technical guys will BS him. Ask him how long it would take someone to learn enough about accountancy before they could accurately detect BS from an accountant.
Either regulate UBER just like you would the competing service, in this case a Taxi service,
That's the point, though, isn't it? What does Uber really compete with? Uber is most like a private hire/limo service. Other private hire/limo services compete with taxis to some extent, but not as much as Uber. What has happened is that Uber has devised a mechanism to make private hire/limo services far more usable.

I've always assumed that the baggage screeners were not trustworthy. What's the point of a lock if the thief has a key?

I was a regular user of AltaVista because I had learned how to use the query language to narrow down the results to those of interest to me.
I stopped using AltaVista and started using Google when AltaVista started returning pages of broken links.
For me the reason that AltaVista failed was that it web indexing could not keep up.

48 states. Texas also keeps the oil royalties.

What's really shocking is that the police invested any effort in tracking down a mobile phone thief. The victim must have been someone with influence.
