Nightmare scenario for traders, benefit for everyone else. The AI likely would have Chinese walls built into them to prevent collusion and insider trading. I for one look forward to my innately honest (and auditable/examinable) AI masters
Would it have superfish and other viruses on there? Because I don't really remember IBM doing that. Lenovo might want to leave the Communist malware off. Or maybe they don't want to.
There likely are specific laws, likely related to holocaust and Armenian genocide denial and such, that would allow a group like the Sikhs to sue a US firm that aids and abets such calumnies.
Considering the 1980s attack on the Sikh ethnic group by Hindis was a well organized and deliberate attempt at genocide, I would suggest that they have a good case.
More personally - Zuckerberg you goddamn moral coward, if Facebook doesn't support groups like this, it serves no useful purpose other than data mining and privacy undermining.
It's too damn complicated for level 1 techs, let alone end users and the general public, to attempt to opt of surveillance, or even intelligently express their dissatisfaction with government and corporate policies.
Politicians don't care and corporations do. These policies will persist until people's lives are strongly negatively affected. Will it require significant damage as a result of foreign powers hacking into the industrial grid? Probably. God knows we aren't in the streets protesting TSA security theater, and its difficult to get more privacy invasive than seeing folks naked.
Seriously, I was buying Lenovo before now. I did not get burned on Superfish. But I'm done with Lenovo. If this is what they try get away with without effort at hiding, then what they are they spending effort on hiding? I don't need the PRC in my network also, I have the NSA for that.
If a US citizen is in a country where a taxation treaty exists, follow the treaty rules. The US citizen only owes up to the maximum bracket they are in. If they are undertaxed in the foreign country, they get to pay the difference.
If the US citizen's capital should end up in a low tax country, then the US citizen pays the difference following the treaty rules. If the US citizen parks their capital in a non-treaty country, then tax them at the full rate without regard for local tax rates. That will learn them for trying to hide money abroad.
Let's just be like the rest of the world and stop taxing corporations. We'll save billions on trying to collect.
Then, tax capital gains like every other income. And jack up the maximum tax bracket. 50% at 1MM. No tax shelters. None. Only exception is unincorporated small business which can be inherite exempt up to 10MM.
Labor is a poor man's capital. A rich man's capital should be taxed at the same rate.
If the GOP likes the 1950s so much, let's tax them like it is the 1950s.
In the various documentaries I have seen regarding the First Great Depression, the movies were regarded as an inexpensive form of entertainment. Admission for a nickel ($.05). Granted, those were the days before television, so if you wanted to watch something, you had to go to the theaters. During the Second Great Depression, folks can stay at home to get a similar level of entertainment.
I don't know if that is there MO. Last time I was over (and admittedly it has been a while), the GFW was ISP based. Some stuff would work in one place and not another. I think that sometimes we overprescribe evil genius when the answer is just plain old incompetency.
Hospitals are a pretty stupid target in comparison to banks, physical retail environments, and online stores. A hospital DB might contain a social security number, addresses, illnesses, and birthdate. So what?
If you can get into a bank, you get money account info, credit scores, security tips, former trades, credit cards, all sorts of good stuff. If you get into a retail environment or online store, it's almost as good. Basically, you get money to spend. In a hospital though, the only unique thing you find out is if someone is sick and with what. That's a pain in the ass to work with. You can try to get more info from all that PII, but again, it's a pain in the ass and available elsewhere. Other stuff is more lucrative for the investment of time, criminal risk, and energy.
If you were a terrorist, a hospital might be a bit more interesting, but the various hospital disasters I have read about demonstrate that there isn't much a hacker can really do to hurt people. Nurses at the end of the day don't do stupid things and doctors aren't much worse.
No, hospitals are a stupid place to expend effort.
It's like the damn island hasn't heard of the UN Declaration of Human Rights. "Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,"
Mario Balotelli, a black football player with a Jewish mother is suspended a game and fined 25k pounds for posting an anti-racist picture about a multicultural Super Mario.
Luis Suarez was essentially forced out of England for using the word negrito while speaking Spanish because it happened to sound like nigger. (While John Terry was given a sentence of half the time for using the word nigger in English.)

Do they? Seems like owning this place would be a bit of a gamble.
Huh. I thought Hot Topic owned us. What's Dice?

Being right isn't enough. You have to be popular to effect change.

Obama a believer in strong encryption? He has made a genuine hash of US Internet / security policy. AKA, enough mistakes that they cannot be reversed.
It's easy.

Yeah, but it would probably ruin your drone. I don't think anyone would be interested in that.

Don't feel too bad, that guy kind of looks like Stephen Fry. But not Hugh Laurie.
We're not classful, we're stateless.
Pretty sure it's a troll. But not positive. Someone get me a picture of Fry squinting.

Crazy arse porn rules.
A man is threatened with life in jail for swearing too much.
And what the fuck is an Anti-Social Behavior Order?
How can the nation that brought us Locke also be bringing us this?
Or it matches the Apple business model and not that of Netflix. Apple sucks. Ask their Chinese workers.
It's pretty hard to come up with a different explanation.
Antonio Martin was armed and likely robbing a gas station.
For that matter, can we stop equating Eric Garner, who was murdered, with Michael Brown, who was not?
And can we start talking about Victor White III, who was assassinated in the back of a police car?
WTF is wrong with the UK?
