Actually, I think this is a pretty decent idea. The trouble is with what they would apply it to. In China, I could see them applying it to people who complain about Emperor Xi. And that would be bad in my opinion.
If this were to go into effect in North America, I would think that stupid little twat who wouldn't take her feet off the seats of that train would have been afforded a more suitable punishment than beating her ass (although I think these whiny people who don't think they should show some personal responsibility could do with a bit of that now and then). You put your feet on the seats on a train and don't put them down when asked by law enforcement, then you don't get to ride on the trains anymore.
Other possible social crimes: Carry a tiki-torch in a march, banned from public transportation. Smash the windows of a Starbucks because you don't like, whatever the fuck antifa people don't like, banned (actually kicked in the crotch, then banned). Good starting point. Then punishment could be escalated from there to: no bad tattoos for you; no mullets allowed, no dreadlocks; etc.
I don't think regulators will let people hide behind 'opinions' anymore. Especially when they say it is such an extremely dire vulnerability, when in fact it is not so dire. Moderate at best. It seems pretty evident when (their lawyers obviously did tell them to include that) they have financial interest in AMD and are partnering with a financial brokerage. If they bought stocks hoping them to rise they wouldn't make such extreme (likely bullshit) proclamations and then give AMD only a day to look at them. They wouldn't do something that would make them lose money. So the only way they could make money doing something like this is to short the stock. So this is plainly manipulation and should be investigated by the regulators. Even more so if some comments are to be believed that the security researchers website is quite new.
Not denying it, but this is a (pretty much extreme) edge case. The only place where it would cause widespread issues is, per your example, at router manufacturers. Those are the only items where few instances can affect many. I don't see people doing this on every chip going into workstations or servers. It just isn't practical.
So someone is going to hire a crew of thousands in some mythical shipping department to individually inject malware into chips individually so that it actually becomes much of a threat. You don't happen to with for the mythological Intel associated CTS labs so you? What a fucking moron.
It sounds like their processes are not in control. They need to use some good analysis and fix the mistakes in their production. It is cheaper and more efficient to do that than fix it after. Any programmer with their weight could tell you that. So could Demming and the Japanese who used his SPC techniques to blow past America in manufacturing quality. It sounds like Musk has never heard of it.
Reality TV and bullshit program quality is the problem. People can find better quality shows online for the same price or cheaper. The learning channel is now the shit reality TV channel. Same with all of them. Provide a decent product and people will buy it. TV likes to fuck themselves though. Nevermind cancelling Firefly, fix isn't the only one. NBC had a great police procedural called Southland that they cancelled. It was perhaps the best example of that type of show is ever seen. Nope. They put some jackoff talent show instead of some other reality bullshit. Prime examples of network TV failing. Blame shareholder mentality I guess. End of rant.
They are too stuck on vendor lock in and DRM. Instead of relying on consumer loyalty by making good products, they try to rely on forcing customers to only buy Sony stuff whether it meets the needs it not. Back in the day when people built component stereos, people could mix and match and many bought Sony components with others like say a Sony amp and a Dual turntable. If it we're today, Sony would only allow you to use a Sony turntable with a Sony amp. People are sick of that shit.
They'll be able to figure out who to threaten, intimidate, and beat before you even get on board. You might even be able to be humiliated and bruised without needing to go through security.
Probability vs consequence. Yet another person who has no clue what risk assessment and risk management it's all about. If there it's a way to find out if someone flew their drone into the window of a plane (by registering the drone) then people will use them more wisely.
Even if you only go on one 500 to 1000 km trip a year you are screwed because you will spend so much of your time charging. I do a 500 km trip every couple of months (close to 1000 km round trip). And usually I am doing it over a long weekend. I can't afford a couple of hours to recharge in the middle. In Canada many people do trips like that on a long weekend. In the comments here I see a lot of people who only want to look at the 'normal' use case. Life has a lot of edge cases. If people here really code, they must be shit because their work probably falls over at every edge case since they only care about the happy path. I agree the Volt looks OK. But I live in Canada and drive in the mountains. At 20 below zero C or more the battery dies way faster. And this is a problem for all battery powered cars; they are only tested on hot desert test tracks in the USA. And then never mind the steep mountain grades that totally saps that tiny engine pushing a heavy battery. And all the electric cars are generally priced starting the same as low end luxury gas powered cars. When I can swap out a battery in 5 minutes, I'll look at electric.
People don't want cars that take hours to refill. Stopping for gas is a pain in the ass, and it's quick. It's why hybrid gas sell better. How about swappable batteries standardized for all cars? These folks are sweating for something that won't fly.
The judge said this:
"[S]imilarities derived from the use of common ideas cannot be protected; otherwise, the first to come up with an idea will corner the market."
This is in essence the problem with business process patents. It's why patenting a general idea is bad; like what most process patents are doing.
If the UK make themselves irrelevant by hamstringing their ability to adapt and work in 'high tech', some other country will take over for them. So the rest of the world will be OK. The UK will suffer for her policies, and eventually she'll be fired in another election. Unless of course the opposition parties keep running fucktard incompetents. It's up to Britains to figure out whether they like her policies or not and act accordingly.
Trudeau wants to let everyone and their dogs come here. And the less productive they are, and the more they cost Canadian tax payers, the more he seems to want them here.
On the surface, this could be good: writers not having to worry about eating and paying rent can concentrate on better writing. But then again, maybe not. For example, I don't think it will help Netflix as they don't seem to hire very good writers very often, and/or don't buy very good shows. Netflix is rapidly falling into the same level of quality as channels that show nothing but shitty 'reality tv'. Worst shows out there, with some rare exceptions, which I'll admit are very good (Stranger Things, Narcos, etc.). But by and large Netflix shows are rapidly going down the toilet. Amazon on the other hand, has quite a few very high quality shows. Not as many as Netflix, but maybe Netflix should follow that model: make fewer, but make them higher quality. And release them consistently.
So YOU want to kill decent shows. No one will write them if they don't get paid. You are probably still waiting for the year of the Linux desktop and wondering why it doesn't happen, too.

Your remind me, people who are politically correct should also be kicked in the crotch and banned from public transit.

How about telling people what you actually want to do?

Manipulating markets with lies. Actually I thought that *was* grounds for prison.

They've only just announced the purchase. We have yet to see what they do with it. It isn't yet time for back patting nor "I told you so's".
Can a grammar Nazi get sex? Let's see... Fuck you.

Ha ha I remember when 16 mb cost me thousands. Fuck I'm old.
What the fuck did these guys do to this site? Been away, you know.
So you are saying you don't do anything all that useful. People who actually do work still use laptops and PCs. Have fun playing with your phone.
