There's definitely more than a little of that here, but in the internet era, the most important principle I've noticed is Too Big To Pass Up. If you're a hacker, a score of personal information numbering in the millions is essentially worth years and years and years of effort, huge investments of money, and risking obscene levels of punishment.
The payout is too big not to. So big corporations make really really appealing targets. You're right that making big corporations more accountable for how they protect data would help a lot, but even if they were spending small fortunes on software security, things like heartbleed would still happen, where they're exposed and can do nothing about it.
And I don't see a solution. More smaller companies might work. Maybe.
Pfft. Hahahah, you take a something about filtering out the specific men who do do that, and turn it into some slight against all men. That's really sad bro.
I didn't provide any fucking estimate. It was a 2 sentence post. 2 sentences. There isn't much room for you to inject your imagined flawed assessment in there.
Well, let's say, hypothetically, in some totally imaginary universe, where some women find the obnoxious behavior of men on some dating sites sufficiently repellant to only consider sites with this feature. Some men would choose to use those sites on the basis of being able to talk to those women, because the "odds" would be quite good if they were the only women there.
I'm sorry for your loss, but H1N1 hit only marginally harder than a typical flu season. The depth of your personal experience has little bearing on the overall net severity of the pandemic.
Of course I'm prepared to acknowledge that assertion. That's irrelevant though, it's almost certain other qualities of the nation(such as plausibly being an island nation, or being completely unurbanized) are far more relevant for H1N1 infection rates.
Sure the government of Texas sucks balls(my state's government does too), but stereotypes are about as helpful for understanding a disease outbreak as cutting out the entrails of a goose and seeing how clean they are.
I mean, some open source projects don't actually have anyone doing live support and a patch happens when someone "gets around to it".
And some exploits are out there whether you say anything or not. Slashdot users pretty regularly complain about this with bumper sticker wisdom about "security through obscurity".
And just because the deployments are all fixed, doesn't mean someone has used that. Heartbleed(cited in the summary) was fixable within a couple days on every major linux distro with a simple update. That didn't mean no one got hacked.
All-in-all, sure it's a good policy, but not the magic perfect, oh-lets-all-be-like-xen thing the summary makes it out to be.
That flues are almost always seasonal, people develop immunities, and it goes into remission(not the proper medical term) until a new strain evolves(or an old strain like H1N1 has enough unexposed members of a population to spread again).
Oh look, stereotypes. If there's one thing the ebola virus needs, it's more blame for its existance being laid on stereotypes. Definetly doesn't have enough of that in Africa. Nope.
This patient is a (presumably black) Texas resident who was born and partially raised in Africa. They have about as much chance of conforming to the stereotypes you describe as feces does of being pink and sparkly.
But they are continuing to ignore Benghazi. Clinton really muffed that one up.
(In some totally unspecified way, that you promise implicates her personal negligence, but none of the several politically forced official investigations have had any semblance of showing.)
H1N1 was also a "real virus", whatever that means. The media is equally blowing American risk of Ebola out of proportion like they did H1N1, which actually managed to infect a largish number of Americans.
There were 14,000 worldwide deaths from H1N1 2k9, 3,500 of which were in North America. This ebola breakout doesn't currently represent nearly that much risk to Americans, but it could be a lot worse if the epidemic continues to grow in western Africa.
I've been saying for a while now that Facebook knows their headline product is doomed. They seem to be doing everything they can to assure that the company doesn't go down with its flagship site. Rushing its demise to squeeze a little more short term value out of it is entirely in keeping with that notion.

You're absolutely right, and I do not contest this argument.
There's definitely more than a little of that here, but in the internet era, the most important principle I've noticed is Too Big To Pass Up.

Absolutely true, is there any evidence that this system is unidirectional? Or did you make that part up too?
Pfft. Hahahah, you take a something about filtering out the specific men who do do that, and turn it into some slight against all men. That's really sad bro.
As someone who's not so brain dead as to think the nationality of the transmission vector matters a god damn bit, shut the fuck up.

Any security can be broken with enough time and effort, like the tens of thousands of years of computer time it takes to build that rainbow table.

your salted password hash is just an obscured version of your password.
Negatory. Salted hashes are not reversable without a huge damned rainbow table particular to the salt, and most passwords are hashed, not encrypted.
There isn't actually a password to recover from that.

Or you're a needlessly conspiratorial idiot. Have you considered that option? That you're an idiot and should shut up?
Oh you're still not considering it, because I'm mean? That's too bad.
That flues are almost always seasonal, people develop immunities, and it goes into remission(not the proper medical term) until a new strain evolves(or an old strain like H1N1 has enough unexposed members of a population to spread again).
Heaven help me, I'm defending the US's healthcare system.
Health care systems have very little to do with influenza infection rates. I like that you don't tell me which third world country.
Oh, I was citing the lab confirmed deaths, which estimates greatly exceed. You're right. Sorry for the massive understatement.
Oh look, stereotypes. If there's one thing the ebola virus needs, it's more blame for its existance being laid on stereotypes. Definetly doesn't have enough of that in Africa. Nope.

Total mortality=lethality*infection rate
There's no serious reason to believe that second variable has any hope of getting anywhere near thousands in the US.
No one is ignoring Syria. Jesus. Syria is continuing to make headline news even on our shitty-as-fuck over-sensationalized 24 hour news networks.
No, it's really not. It's like something out of CDC planning materials. They're taking exactly the precautions that make sense to take.

No, you and your community are on your own for circumventing technical measures. At least it's not illegal to do so.
