I'm not worried about someone getting my password. I'm worried about someone getting the admin password (or hacking in) and stealing the whole database. A good example is the OPM hack. Same applies to hospitals. If I let a hospital keep my medical records in a huge DB, I assume eventually the whole db will be stolen.
Passwords, two factor passwords, RSA fobs are something of a Maginot Line. Figure out how to walk around them and get the whole db.
I'm thinking specifically about stealing data. I'm not talking about someone getting into a company's account at a bank and transferring funds.
Adobe has such a long history of putting security first and demonstrating security best practices! How could this sort of thing happen? Or is it because a typical Adobe employee doesn't know the difference between private key and a hole in the ground.
How are a CS major and understanding big O efficiency related? A smart person will quickly grasp this concept. End of story. If you NEED a CS major to get such a simple concept, I really don't want you writing code.
We are not running out of ideas. That is nonsense. We are running out of EASY ideas. Before you could tell your supplier: Use this program to place an order directly to our factory. Then we will automatically send the orders for the required raw materials to our suppliers so that we can fill your order. Good idea! Big productivity jump!
This is no different than people who post on facebook themselves water skiing while taking big buck in worker's comp payments and have multi-million dollar lawsuits in the works. I'm sorry. Anything you post is fair game. If you are a bad criminal, it is survival of the fittest. Dumb ones go to jail. Smart ones live comfortably in Costa Rica.
If you take off in a 747 and then you want to land half an hour later, you can't. First you may have to dump or burn 50 tons of fuel (rough number). Go look up differences between take off and landing weights for a few large commercial aircraft.
You fly up with a rocket tied to you. Rocket basically = HUGE bomb. For whatever reason, you can't launch. How do you land safely with something so heavy and explosive still tied to the plan?
The International Space Station is at about 1,320,000 feet. Knocking the first 35,000 feet off is the first 2.5% of the way.
Seems like a lot of complexity where a lot can go wrong to launch a rocket (mind you, pointed in the wrong direction, space is up, not sideways. My guess is that that huge plane can't safely do a loop. ) to knock off the first 2.5% of the journey.
I'm not a rocket scientist. What am I missing here?
Be it a battery, gasoline or plastic explosives, any time you pack a lot of energy into a small space, there is some risk of the energy being rapidly released. You can make it safer, but not 100% safe.
Hard to get a battery with a huge storage density that truly isn't somewhat dangerous. A lot of energy in a small space tends to look like a bomb.

We are only 30 times smarter than dogs!
To paying down massive government debts or hand outs to the poor?

Sounds like the vast majority of the crimes were committed in France and Europe. So he is being sent to Miami???
There are IRS agents working in the same building as my company.
Quod Erat Demonstrandum. My company is a secret IRS informant!
The ads were initially reported to be pro Trump. It seems Facebook itself reported false information to seed decent.

Agreed. It is a good sanity check.

I'll take a Biology, Physics, double-E, etc major who taught him/her self to code over a CS major any day of the week.
Demonstrate that you are smart. Then demonstrate the ability to learn and adapt.

Those easy gains are gone.

They are expensive, temperamental, inefficient, and there is a reason scientists say "Nature abhors a vacuum".
All I can say is, "I want the contract to maintain the 1,000's of miles of vacuum tube!"
I'm sure some billion dollar social media companies will be able to quietly cast doubt on these "absurd" and "backward" conclusions.
Not free, but it works well. Note: Servers are in NY.

Numbers please?

I'm a COO, and I have C and C++ on my resume.
It is not C on your resume that limits you, the limit is only in your mind.
Have we fallen so far that we need a reason such as "IoT" to learn C?
Sad day.
