Iit has to do with the fire department not paying the 2USD per month
.... and the fact that Verizon declined to help by removing the throttling during an emergency situation. They are now claiming that was a mistake, but do you believe them?
In the same sense that the Queen of England appoints the bishops of the Church of England. Nominally, she appoints them, but their names must be on a list provided by the Prime Minister. That list can have a single name on it. In this case, Obama was required to appoint someone who would be acceptable to the Republican party leadership.
Bonus question: why have there been precisely zero Catholic Prime Ministers of the UK? It couldn't possibly be due to the possibility of a Catholic person choosing the bishops for the Church of England, could it?
I get messages left on my voicemail at work from recruiters who say they have a candidate for us who has looked at our website and wants to work for us. This mythical candidate always has a set of skills that are irrelevant to what we do. Typically, they are web developers and we are not a web-based company. We sell software into a relatively small and very specialized niche.
they think people driving around in individual EVs is somehow "green".
EVs are not as green as public transport, but they are certainly greener than individual ICE vehicles. Thank the Koch Brothers for the lack of public transport in the USA [yes, they are putting money into campaigns to oppose public transport projects.]
We have to go all electric/hydrogen cars and trucks
What do you mean by this? Hydrogen cars are electric cars.
Do you mean: 1. We need to go to FCEVs (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles) OR 2. We need to go to B(Battery)EVs and FCEVs.
Hydrogen is not viable. It won't reduce CO2 emissions without some new breakthroughs. It requires a massive sudden investment in infrastructure, whereas most of the infrastructure for BEVs already exists (the electrical grid) and can be expanded on an as-needed basis.
"According to Nafeez, all an attacker needs to do is to lure a user on an HTTP site. This site can be under his control, or a legitimate site where the attacker can execute malicious code â"for example, via malvertising (malicious ads).
This allows the attacker to steal and decrypt "secrets" from that site, such as session cookies, which, in turn, let the hacker log into that website as the user."
If I understand this correctly, the user has to visit a http: site under the control of the attacker and then the attacker can grab secrets associated with that site?
I should note that this is a good thing. Those major firms are less likely to be engaged in visa fraud and are more likely to pay real comparable wages.
H1B use isn't up: there is an annual cap on H1B visas.
What's changed is that "Major tech firms" are getting the visas which must have reduced the number of H1B visas that were assigned to the outsourcing companies such as Tata, HCL, Infosys, etc..
Salaries for CEOs tend to actually be low; it's the bonuses and stock grants based on performance that increase the total compensation package - much like it would for any stockholder.
No. If the share price goes down, stockholders lose money. The CEO, however, not so much. For the typical CEO, it's a bet with no downside.
The question is, what performance difference does a $1M CEO bring vs a $21.7M one?
Probably a significant improvement in performance by the $1M CEO (there was a study that showed that lower-paid CEOs tend to perform better).
The idea that CEOs should be paid according to the improvement in the bottom line that they bring is flawed: there is no equivalent downside if the company does badly under their leadership. Yes, their total pay may drop a little, but imagine if it could go negative!

No, just another blowhard /.-er, who knows he is safe in challenging someone to a fight.
It's use isn't even limited to humans.
Fruit will sometimes occasionally ferment, due to random yeast spores and animals will eat the fruit and with it the alcohol.
Ever seen a bunch of drunk animals in your back yard? I have.
Typical Republican (perhaps not you):
People should pay their own way. People should pay for the services they use.
Also typical Republican:
Reduce my gas taxes, which already don't cover the cost of maintaining the roads.

Why would you use an H1B employee for a call center job? Just move the call center to India.
I don't think you really understand the H1B program.
How is bitcoin different to gold? Most gold isn't actually used -- it's just stored.
Is Verizon challenging Comcast for the title of "most hated company"?
Surely grow-ops don't use much electricity these days? LED lights are very efficient.
Try actually reading yourself. The word "capitalism" predates the concept of socialism. So, no, it wasn't coined by a socialist.
You can attempt to redefine things (presumably to suit your own preconceived notions) as much as you like, but it doesn't mean sh*t.
Exactly, and the CEO is someone that people here should recognize: he used to be CEO of ARM Holdings.
Capitalism doesn't "want" anything.
Assholes who claim to be capitalists (but are mostly crony-capitalists) want this.
Recruiters lie.

So that means that to attack, I must:
1. Lure someone to a http endpoint that I control.
2. Be able to watch the encrypted traffic.
So, basically, the answer is to bypass the VPN for http endpoints. You should not be sending or receiving anything secure to http websites anyway.

Apparently you are incapable of understanding the difference between losing money and not getting money you never had.
It's a one-way bet because the CEO can either be paid a small amount, or a large amount. Never a negative amount.
Stockholders, on the other hand, can have negative gains on their stock ownership.

Small engine two-stroke engines are not as durable as small 4-stroke engines.
Yes, it's possible to build a durable 2-stroke engine, but they don't put that type of engine in lawnmowers.
Hah! You expect to keep a two-stroke engine that long? I have a bridge to sell you!
