I would accept "false flag" though as a premise to generate publicity for a movie with the shit actor Seth Rogen, how do slobs like Seth and Jonah Hill keep getting work?
No what I am saying is the contemporary idea of "never waste a crisis", not that Sony orchestrated this hack, but rather they (and others) will look to "how do we turn it around or profit from it" In terms of locking down the Internet and/or "fighting piracy" as some add on rider to yet another security bill.
To simplify, it's another arrow in the quiver of reducing Internet freedoms and will be used as an example to justify some draconian regulation.
Personally I think it was some script kiddies having fun, if you've read any of the Power Point presentations that were leaked you may have come to the same conclusion I have, that the people in this division of Sony, are lazy, racist, greedy and incompetent at "security" and the Internet in general.
While I think you should use HTTPS, it's also quite easy to strip away, anyone in the "man in the middle" position can do this, so no problem for the NSA, no problem for an ISP, no problem for a decent hacker (WiFi anyways), however it is "better than nothing".
Which seems to be what we have to settle for these days BTN "better than nothing".

Interesting no? As for inclement weather, the balloon would be possibly more useful but it's so limited, that's a debatable point. Imagine what the military has, so this balloon is little more than a joke.
Look at who runs that section of Sony, look at who runs Comcast, look at who finances the MPAA, RIAA, etc, look at who runs Hollywood, look at who lobbies "Net neutrality", piracy issues, and ME foreign policy, look at the finance industry and who the majority of leaders are there. look at who we let tell our stories.
Look at how important story telling is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Understand the fundamental nature of storytelling and the importance this aspect of humanity, and then look again at who we let tell our stories.
So will Google, Apple, and Microsoft's encryption schemes.
It's really just a sucker deal when they tell you they care and are going to implement encryption, how else do you settle the cattle after all Snowden showed us.
Tell them it's encrypted, put them at ease and make them complacent again, then provide the "agencies" with a master key/backdoor.
The poster suggest his time in the "liberal arts" taught him critical thinking, and yet states that the jobs available were "not up his alley" and now wants back into STEM. What makes you think your decision making ability is any better now? Why STEM when you changed over to LA earlier?
Because you think you would get a job easier with a STEM oriented degree?
Would it be wiser for me to go deeper into debt and get a second undergrad degree?
When is it "wiser" to get into debt, much less get into debt deeper? Go into the military? For what reason finances? There is something cognitively wrong with the person that wrote this, my suggestion is you talk to someone that is much older than you and understands the system, you seem to be making "unwise" choices and I would say you aren't capable of critical thinking currently.
Or you wouldn't be here asking what you're asking, talk to someone older and wiser in "real life".
If you can't even spell "lose" you shouldn't be commenting, not to mention the fact he/she completely ignored "(or other entity)" in his rush of self indulgence.
This is a warning worth noting, as previous "pirate" domains have been taken over it becomes difficult to know who is running what. That's means the MPAA (or other entity) could run a pirate site and easily gather more than enough evidence in the process.
The Finkbeiner test is a checklist proposed by journalist Christie Aschwanden to help journalists avoid gender bias in articles about women in science. To pass the test, an article about a female scientist must not mention:
The fact that she’s a woman
While I agree it should be about the science, it's amusing to see that some people feel the mention of gender invalidates the science.
A "particular drought" is a data point, a detail, climate change is a large scale event made up of millions of data points.
What they should be looking (and some are in fact looking for) is trends.
Nate Silver's name seems to be taken as the data gold standard now.
When FiveThirtyEight was relaunched under ESPN's ownership on March 17, 2014,
Washington Post journalist Ezra Klein wrote: "There are good criticisms to make of Silver's model, not the least of which is that, while Silver is almost tediously detailed about what's going on in the model, he won’t give out the code, and without the code, we can't say with certainty how the model works."[179] Colby Cosh wrote that the model "is proprietary and irreproducible. That last feature makes it unwise to use Silver's model as a straw stand-in for "science", as if the model had been fully specified in a peer-reviewed journal".[180]

Stupid idea, instead just make wallets, phone sleeves or other small item carriers with the lining.
To implement an agenda of draconian regulation than use the "Sony Crisis" as an excuse.
When the cattle can't see its latest iteration of Seth Rogen's poor acting, hit them where it hurts, right in the opiate of the masses.
Then feel safe =)

Just another addiction.
New drought maps show groundwater levels across the U.S. Southwest are in the lowest two to 10 percent since 1949.
The remaining bits, in certain areas, will be poisoned by fracking
Suddenly this article makes sense.

So according to you my original statement is still valid just minus the MPAA (even though I suggested other entities may be involved).
"loose"?
but people should be wary of scams.
