How is this "freedom" thing going for you? I hear my country might be interested in it. Is the waving of that many flags a requirement? Bceause the last time we did that it did not end well.
I have two identies. One is digital and one is 'real'. I try to mix them up as little as possible. The LinkedIn one is part of my 'real' life. With the email adres from that one I will NEVER post an opinion online.
People have asked me for Facebook and that it would be great to get in conmtact with old friends. To those I say: 1) There is a reason they are old and not current friends. Interest will have changed over time, most likely. 2) If they are too lazy to find me by doing a simple google search, perhaps they are more interested in a higher friends numbver on facebook and not so much in contacting me.
Of all the people I have found, the first one was obvious. "That has been a long time. What do you now? We should talk more often." is about as deep as the conversations went if they went even that far. And that for people I have extremely fond memories of.
I once had a facebook page and within a short time I had 100+ friends, None of them current friends, so I dropped it.
I used to get a lot of emails of a closed LinkedIn account as well. This untill I found somewhere on their site a way to REALLY block the receiving emails. After that nothing anymore.
So regardless of what you think of them, that is at least something that was possible to do. And no, I never received spam via them. What I do is use e.g. for/. the email adress slashdot.org@example.com so I KNOW where it comes from.
Don't have any data that you don't actually need. Like Credit Card data. Most companies don't need that info. The companies I worked for let the credit card payment being handled by others.
So what we had was basically their adress and what they orderd. That didn't mean we were not trying to protect anything, because we did not wanted to be hacked, but we made ourselves much less of a target.
And if you do need the credit card numbers, you should not be reading this article, you should be writing it.
You seem to forget the biggest impact. All those people who do delivery will not have a job. This will not mean a lower cost for the customer AND a bigger bonus for the CxO.
And look up how many people are actually affected that way.
Unless we find a way to reduce working all together, we will reduce working for a few and this will result in a bigger devide between the haves and the have nots.
I know all about this. My great-aunt died when she was 115. Not only that, but she gave her body to science. Because of her, we know a bit more about aging.
She was healthy till the end and died of stomache cancer. She also often said "Now is enough. Now I want to die."
If you have procedures, you need to stick to it. But perhaps I an the exception who is not afraid to say no to my boss.
And yes, I have been in situations where I did not do as my CxO requested.He mailed me a request and I told him I would not do it, because that was not accoring to procedure. He treatend me and I still did not do it.
Obviously I placed all that I needed to cover my ass in the reply and added the reason as to why I would not do as requested.
In the end it probably save them several million in legal fees and fines. It was fun to see how things escalated after my denial.
That is you personal opinion. I know I would not want to live forever. That does not mean I want to die soon, nor that I am suicidal.
And yes, the world is as cold and hard as we want it to be. e.g. what is important is in the first place not living forever. It is living a healthy and productive live.
Unfortunatly that is not what hmankind wants. We want money, not health. We could easily give food and medicial attention to everybody in the world. We decided that money and power is of higher importance.
We do want death. We kill. We let others starve. We let them be unable to get medical attention, although we have the knowledge to help. We decide that even if this is available, we put our kids in harms way by not giving them vacinations.
Some people do wish well upon others, but they are a minority. I am guilty of this as well. Why do I have so many clothes when others have nothing? Why do I need a new computer every X years? Why do I not live in a smaller house? Why do I need a car, when alternatives are possible?
Look at those things before you say you want eternal life and see if you REALLY want to change things. I bet you don't.
I Belgium we have an ID card with chip and readers can be bought everywhere. You can use that to sign in with a pin-code and a chip. The software (both client and server) is open source and available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
I still do not understand why not more companies in Belgium use this for their websites as it fills out the customers address and everything and is veryfiable.
Besides the development cost, it is free and as I said, the source is open.
For me it is not about finding an excuse for him, it is about due process. If the process is not done correctly, then it should be null and void.
Does this mean that some criminals will walk free? Yes, but to me that is much more important that the law is just and correct and no innocent people go to jail than somebody gets away free.
And him being a scumbag that should be chased down? That is why there is a proces to follow. So we can determine if he indeed should be put in jail or not.
It is as the one time I cought an applicant lying about speaking a languages we did not ever require and I spoke it and he didn't. Not even a bit. If he lied about that, how can I be sure if the rest was true? The same goes for the juridical process. It is now tainted and there should at least be a re-trial. This could well mean he goes free and he is now innocent.
It works shite on Outlook, because the order keeps changing depending on how often you use an address.
So what has happend here is that some email adress that was always the second in line has been moved to the first and the first in line has moved to the second. THis due to the fact that suddenly he needs to mail to that one department a lot.
They are always number two, so he type 'd' for 'department' and selects the second one that pops up. Now this has changed, so the second you see with 'd' is not department' but 'dave' and 'department\ is the first one.
It becomes even more confusing as it looks at both the first and the last name when you type 'd'.
Autofill is not evil. What is evil is that it changes the order. What is even worse is that you can not turn that off. When you do not mail somebody a lot, that person is number two in line after somebody who you mail a lot.
Then there is a project and the number two becomes number one and the number one becomes number two.
Out of habit you select the second one, because that is where it always was. I bet that is what happend here. I know it happend a lot to me where three adresses change all the time in the order they are shown.
I do not see why they should not use a passport. Sure, everybody will know who Obama is, but who is the head of state of Belgium? Of South-Africa? Of Lichtestein? Of Uzbekistan? Of any of the other countries in the world? And not just their name, but how they look as well?
Oh and I have no idea who this Ashdown is. I also do not keep track of all the changes around the world when new ones are elected or initiated or whatever.
So instead of having some where you do ask and some where you don't, all just must folow the same procedure and have a passport.
I am sure that some protcol will be available for VIPs so that it can be handled behind the scenes.
A moat has an association with middival times when people where being tortured, the rich had all the power and war was done as an excuse to enrich the few. We can not have that association.
Or they could use Google and find out what the current world record is for pole vaulting and build a new fence each year when it is a bit higher again.

FYI: Swiss isn't a language. They speak several of them, but Swiss ain't one.
Isn't democracy great if you think you have a choice? Please keep electing as if you want them to shoot you in the right or the left knee.
First they laugh at you.
Then they fight you.
Then you win.

I have a dedicated email with my phone. All my emailadresses are basically TLD@example.com. So that would be gmail.com@example.com.
For gmail I have also a dedicated one that is name.phone@gmail.com
Keeps nice track of who is sending me spam.

I remember when Red Dawn came out (the first one) that we discussed the differnce between freedom fighters and terrorists.
The answer was history.

First they came after the Senators, but I did nothing because I was not a Senator ...
It could well be the USA trying to blame China. At this moment I think this is even more plausable when I look what has been done in the past.

So yeah, this one is awefull.

I am sure that some protcol will be available for VIPs so that it can be handled behind the scenes.
It would seem logic that they would take full responsibillity regardless if they get special benefits or not.
A moat has an association with middival times when people where being tortured, the rich had all the power and war was done as an excuse to enrich the few. We can not have that association.
You assume that _only_ non-US citizens want to kill the president of the USofA. The past attacks have proven this not to be true.
I understand what they want. It is to train on different situations. It is much easier to do something when you have done it before.
Because they should NOT radio it in, they should take imediate apropriate action. Otherwise it will be too late.
That said, they could easily put fake bushes in the parkinglot. Sure it would be nice to have a copy, but nice to have is not the same as a must.
Or they could use Google and find out what the current world record is for pole vaulting and build a new fence each year when it is a bit higher again.
