In a hospital, Doctors are stars and everything else is a cost center. One exec after another will show up and squeeze those costs further and further.
You are confusing Financial Advisors with Fund Managers.Retail Financial Advisors you get to meet for "free" at your local financial institutions are pretty much McDonald workers of financial world in terms of hierarchy. Their job is to sell you whatever makes the most money/commission to the institution and themselves while pretending to care about your goals. They usually have no or low qualifications and follow simple scripts. Fund managers are actually the one managing (ie investing) money.
If you want a medical world analogy for this case:
1. Guys gets shot with a shotgun.
2. Surgeon identifies and removes some shrapnel but fails to identify it all.
3. Guy show-ups for an annual medical check.
4. Routine tests reveal presence of shrapnel.
5. Guy sues initial Surgeon.
If negligence is suspected based on initial scope contract, Casino has all the rights to sue and likely win.
Netflix numbers don't tell it all. The big difference is justified by the fact that the pay includes bonuses/stocks and all their jobs are in the Bay Area where cost of living is way above avg.
A Goog/MS Senior Engineer making 150-160K + bonus + stock will end up with a similar total compensation package.
In interviews, Google actually focuses more on fundamental concepts which don't change that much over time (architecture/design, system internals, algorithms/data structures etc...) rather than specific technologies. You can code in the language of your choice most of the time. Problem is most people don't need/know or refuse to apply good foundations in their day to day job.

When personal information is compromised, I feel most companies DO NOT want to know that they were hacked because then they have to notify the users + take steps, or at least make it look like they do, to be more secure and reputation takes a hit. If only the hackers have this information and abuse it without revealing where they got it, the company could not care less as this does not affect their business. Sure the hack may become public down the road but at least there is a chance it may never be.
Assuming you've got a track record as a top-notch white hat hacker and security guy and you had some unique experience/skill mix that the FBI really felt they needed, would they just kind of put up with it, maybe/especially if you lived in a state like Colorado or had a medical card in California?
How do companies like Apple/Oracle/Google/MS/Amazon handle it in California now? My first hand experience and everything I've read in the media makes pot seem pretty well accepted in California and there's certainly a counter-culture kind of attitude among a lot of technology people. If you get recruited to Google because you're something special, do they give you a piss test and then tell you they won't hire you?
If you are a world class mathematician, NSA will hire you without the traditional polygraph. Under these circumstances they will likely invest more on the field investigation which are fairly expensive but for exceptional individuals likely worth the extra $$$.
Surprised to learn of the low return on gov contracts. From what I heard, private sector usually lowballs initial contracts to be the lowest bidder but charges through the nose for any changes to requirements which are inevitable in large/complex IT projects.
We don't know the whole story here but it looks like Bangalore was a 1st tier center that escalated this issue to someone in US for further investigation. Sounds to me like the problem was in US.
Historically, the military in many areas is not far from script kiddies if you think about it. Private sector creates weapons, the military points and pulls the trigger. Good to see them training in what is definitely not easy to learn (reversing/crypto).

Excited to work with an Indian team? Should have been a huge red flag right there.

Slippery slope when you start teaching robots to lie.
Is this how baby comets are made?
Why? Lack of competition.

the CIA can get with a rubber-hose.

Don't forget international broadcasting rights.
Jerry apparently turned down $5 millions/episode for 22 episode to continue for a 10th season. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J...

I volunteer to be the subject.
It will be interesting to see how the US government tries to spin this.

Well, there you go.

I hope they will offer pay equivalent to the skill level they seek.
US software 'blew up Russian gas pipeline' in 1982 is I believe the first instance of what can be considered cyber war (or sabotage).
Yes, it is about setting an example. You may have nothing but many have at least some wealth (House, Car, investment etc). This all can be gone.
Hopefully higher costs -> less spam.
