In this area she is "incompetent" here expertise is in law and finance, she knows nothing about technology.
Therew is no need to understand technology to understand acountability.
The problems she is handeling are not technical problems, they are social problems.
If I tell kids that there is nbo need to look around when they want to cross the road, you do not need a traffic enigneer, you need a normal human with common sence, to understand that that is wrong. Even if they have right of way, it is still wise to pay attention.
This is about accountability. If the COO did everything in his power and there still is a zero day hack, he will go free. If there was negicence somewherem then he is accountable.
It has been a LONG time that people in power where held acountable in the IS that we all have forgotten how it should be. The fact that a law that does is is even needed shows this.
Those options are presented to users who click on the words "Need help?" in one corner of the page.
"But the plans were on display..." "On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them." "That's the display department." "With a flashlight." "Ah, well, the lights had probably gone." "So had the stairs." "But look, you found the notice, didn't you?" "Yes," said Arthur, "yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard.'"
If you are building a skyscraper, you do not blame the glass to be weaker than the metal. The glass is an essential part of the building. It would be easier to build one without it.
But it is an essential part, so you calculate and add steel and concrete till the building is safe. You work around the glass, let it do what it needs to do an make it a part of the whole.
In IT almost nobody looks at the weaker part: the human. If you are in security and you do not look at the security where humans are a part of the whole thing, you are doing it wrong.
Not do you have to take only humans into account. You also need to realize that they need to do this shit for several hundred websites and remembering a random 16 character password every month is not an option. Damn, I have issues remembering the logins I was give, sometimes.
Security is not a technical issue, it is a process. A social one at that.
Humans are an essential part of the "security building" so see to it that they can still be an essential part and still have a secure system.
The difference being a human that sees lane markers leading into active oncoming traffic will decide there are shenigans and not follow.
There are people who will blindly follow their GPS and cause accidents. People who drive into metro/tube lines.People who start driving in the wrong direction of a road and I have, at one moment, taken the wrong side of the road, due to the bad lines during contruction. Ther sun shing in my eyes through the wet road made it unpossible to see the difference between the white lines, removed line, cracks in the road and the yellow lines. So I had to guess and guessed wrong. Luckily only one thing died: my ego.
The huge difference is not that people or smarter or less smart. The thing is that there are many people out there who would react differently. The majority will do fine, a few won't.
If the Tesla has an issue, ALL Tesla's have an issue. And that can be bad. However to let ALL the people behave correctly will take much more efford than let the Tesla's ALL react correctly.
And yes, all machines are dumber than humans. They are better than humans at many individual things. Playing chess, sure. Boxing. No issue. Both? Not so much.
That is an even better thing. They used the gains from their country for the good of the people, instead of for a few individuales that own shares in the company.
Can you imagine that instead of the oil barons in Texas, they would have put that money into use for the people, to be used by the people? Or instead of the coalmine owners, used that money to re-educate the people now their jobs became useless.
I live in Belgium. I should start a company named "YouTu". It will be an English-French dating website directed at Brexit people (You) and French speaking people "Tu" can meet (or meat).
And then I will claim my domain name.
Ands I would say ALL link shorteners exist based on other countries TLD. It just depends where you live.
The moment Novell bought SUSE (Remember that), they started openSUSE. They have open sourced a LOT of stuff from that moment on. All that they where able to do, was open sourced.
In the past they where less open, but that was when they where still SuSE (and S.u.S.E. before that) and that is now several years in the past. They even made it super easy to make your own openSUSE based distro. They went out of their way to do so.
And yes, there is a difference bewteen SUSE and openSUSE, but not as big as you might think.
It should only be one that is an april fools day, not a whole bunch of them.
It should also not be something a 12 year old could come up with and not point to others, e.g. as here where, depending how you feel, one of the two is draag down to the other.
It is however something that is essential in the difference in US and UK humor in general. Where the US will make fun of others (I know this guy who...) the UK will laugh more at themselves (Well, I have....)
yes, there is a LOT of overlap.
So if they could do a story about their mother company closing down the website, that is OK. Telling that they wil be sold to Google, that is not OK, unless Google is in on the "joke".
I put black tape over the logo on my monitor, so I do not see the logo. I cut it out of my backpack (Not a hole into the backpack), so there is no logo.
I pay extra for stuff to have no logo, so the answer will be "unelikely".
Those limits where set years in the past. I regularly drive 160-170kmh in Germany. Those are pretty normal speeds on an almost empty 3 lane highway where everybody has more lessons than anybody in the USofA.
Driving 150kmh in places where 130kmh is allowed on almost empty and dry roads? No issue for me if people do that. To me the 130kmh is way to low then.
Many people are not aware of this, but the same happens in Europe. The moment you puty in the card, there will be a 125 EUR amount in autorisation. You then take your fuel for e.g. 75 EUR. The 125EUR is realeased and the 75EUR is billed.
If you have e.g. only 100 EUR available on your card, you will not be able to get fuel at an unatended station. You could get one on a manned one where you take fuel and pay afterwards. You could also drive away and then wait home for the bill to arrive, together with the courtorder stuff, as 99% of them have camera's.
The majority of the people will never realize the 125EUR in autorisation, because it will never show up on the bill and the majority of people in Europe will pay they credit card at the end of the month and their debit card will have enough to cover it.
The people who might notice it is if there is an issue with the correction of the amount in authorisation (will sort itself out after a month) and the amount is not available.
So, yeah. That is not the issue. The issue was that the price they paid was 0.00 EUR per liter (That is around 0.00 USD per gallon. You are welcome).
No idea, but I can imagine you can set it to "Always Off" if you so desire.
You know that when you drive faster in Germany than 130 KMH, the insurance will not cover you. Even if it is legal to do so in some places.
It is not up to the police to ask that question. That is for the courts.
Well, that is the reason they are putting it into law.
I live in Europe and I like to drive. I also like to drive faster than legally allowed when I am alone on an empty highway. That said, when I am driving in e.g. Belgium, it is often not clear how fast I am allowed to go. The reason is that when you drive through several smaller roads that go through villages, it is not always obvious if you are in an official build up area or not and speed is set by the villages.
So on the same identical road with the same identical buildup of buildings, it can be 30, 50, 70, 80 or 90. Missing one sign is an easy thing to happen when you are watching the rest of the traffic as well.
I look at my GPS system more than I look at the traffic signs, just because missing one traffic sign could mean I am speeding at 50, while I was allowed to go 30.
In Spain the speed can differ several times on very short distances. And I mean short, like 50-100m. You are allowed to go 90, then 50, then 70 and then 80.
The fact that speed limits are different all over Europe does not make this easier.
So I would very much be for a speed limiter that you can turn off, with all the consequences of not being insured for that period and even held liable, no matter what, when you are involved in an accident when it was turned off.
You make it sound as if the Telcos are the only ones that bought themselves into politics.
The problem is not that. Throw them out and others will buy them up and do even worse.
For the people, by the people has been replaced with : business as usual. And people love it. The prove that even people on this website are defending companies all the time, instead of letting the companies do that for themselves.
Barcel;one: Was there with a female friend when all of a sudden she yells at me "My phone is stolen." Terrible Barcelone.
The fact that the phone was still in her handbag when I called it does not make any difference.
The sory also reminds me of the fact that if something happens once, it is a coincidence. If it happens twice, it is bad luck and if it happens three times, you are the problem.
Dislaimer: Living in Belgium Here is what I do: If I get my monthly bill for my credit card, I pay it in whole. That means no interest.
I have been in a situation where I was without income due to reasons for a period of several months. One thing I did not do was use my credit card. The monet I had was not enough to last me the whole period, so I went in debt on my bank account. That amount was not even close to what it would have been on the credit card.
But then the EU banking system is completly different from the US. In Belgium, not having any credit is the best credit score you can get.
I read somewhere that "older" people who grew up with incandecent lights, find LED to be cold and not homely.
"Younger" people would find the incandecent lights "dark". So it also might be a nurture and not a nature issue.
I know I had to adapt. Where I bought "warm" LED lights in the past, I have replaced them with "colder" colors. With age comes a lesser eyesight. Seeing where I go is more important than having a cosy room.
And you can add in the fact that a lesser proportion of the people these days work 9-5
In Spain, almost nobody does, as their office hours are more like 10-14 and 17-20, or something like that.
And not only do you have the east-west issue where time changes. There is also the north-south issue where in the south the differences are not as great from winter to summer as it is in the north.
In Stockholm, summer days are way much longer light than Madrid or Rome. opposite in the winter.

They go over it and send it back if their root exploit doesn't work. Thanks Sony.
Sounds like a way to make rules that will see that others are always at fault. The reason O think that us because it is two US and a japanese company.
It is telling if the company that gave up the patent for 3 ppint safety belts is not part of it.
Sounds like a health research group from the tobacco industry.

We throttle all apps. See if you can go o the competition.
This is We block Netflix, just like the others.

If you need to write down Jif to tell how Gif needs to be pronounces, you know it isn't pronounced correctly.
Perhaps just pronounce Gif as in Gif and not as Jif, or change the name to Jif and pronounce it as Jif.
And no 'My name is "houghi" but you pronounce it as bullshit'-bullshit.
You do not pronounce "table" as "fork" just because you feel like it.
