That is complete BS. Widely spread malware gets discovered and analyzed fast, hence that is precisely what you cannot do with it if you want to use it long-term.
Paranoia is really no valid substitute for actual understanding of the subject matter.
You are apparently too dumb to understand the difference between a crime with a victim and one without one. And you are also apparently too dumb to see what causes the majority of problems that drug users have.
At that time, anybody competent had already left Yahoo, so her observations are not worth much. Her measures then made Yahoo lose the semi-competent workers left for an uniform landscape of incompetence. She did fit nicely into that though.
Understandable, since there is hardly anybody competent left at IBM, at least in the consulting area. They seem to have really gotten rid of anybody with actual experience ans skill. On the plus side, their daily rates are now down to what anybody else gets and they have lost their nimbus of infallibility, making people see the arrogance and incompetence clearly. They are basically dead, but it will take them a few more years until they die. By then, those responsible will all have activated their golden parachutes.
Indeed. These "idea-bouncers" are incredibly annoying. Sure, occasionally you can do a meeting especially for this, but otherwise this is just a disruption. I avoid working at customer sites whenever possible, and when I am not there, I work from home. I think the 13% productivity increase is on the low side. For the work I do (IT Security Consulting and some related engineering), it is more like 100% more productivity, and I am not the only one at my company that makes that experience. Of course, we have all highly qualified and motivated people that require no supervision and the only way anybody is judged is by results. That is certainly not a model that will appeal to people that basically can only be compensated by time worked, because result quality is really bad. But for anybody result-oriented, defining your own work-environment is _obviously_ massively superior. It is interesting to see that it seems to even bring some improvement for the others.
Thanks. There do not seem to be a lot of people around that understand anything. And those that do usually do not want power because they can see how it utterly corrupts those that do have it. Kind of a negative feedback-loop where only people completely unsuitable to wield it get power. Unless the human race learn to screen them out, the future does not look good.
It is a fundamentally fascist idea: The individual does not count and the state-ideology is perfect, hence everybody has to follow it or be a traitor to be eradicated. And because the state-ideology is to great and perfect, of course nobody needs to hide except evildoers.
This of course ignores the little fact that states are the most evil and immoral constructs known to man and need to be kept tightly under control. That control has slipped recently, and what happens as a consequence is not a surprise.
Indeed. Terminally dumb, unable to learn and unable to listen to actual experts. The human race cannot afford the politicians in power all over the globe.
Politicians are the poster-people for the Dunning-Kruger effect: They have the biggest egos and the smallest understanding of how things actually work. Of course they do not listen to advisers, because really dumb people think they already know all the truths. Unfortunately, democracy does not help either, because most voters are timid sheep and easily frightened to stampede in any direction desired. Hence fascism raises its ugly head gain. That did not take long.
Show and surveillance of common people. These are the same government creeps that want to look into your bedroom to make sure you do not do anything "unwanted".
Present day modern cryptography already can be secure "forever" (i.e. unless somebody finds a fundamental weakness in the cipher itself, brute-forcing will not ever be possible). That war has long been lost by the government creeps that feel threatened by anything they cannot control. All they can do now is a lot of damage.
As long as there is a reasonable product and buyers, there will be a market. The problem here is authoritarians that are unable to respect the life-choices of others. And it is them that are responsible for all drug-related crime.
Indeed. It is a criminal "best practice" to stay under the radar. As is usual in these cases, he will be replaced by more careful operators within no time. Meanwhile, the utterly senseless "War on Drugs" (really a war on self-determination and what you can do for fun waged by authoritarian scum) will continue without any positive effects, but doing massive damage.
Quite frankly, I expect some large, well-known company to go bankrupt because they cannot fix their IT anymore in the next 10 years or so. And no, things are not getting easier, they are getting harder with everything virtualized, code that nobody can read without tool-support (I am looking at you, Java), a mix of old and new, both not really documented, experienced people retiring, etc.

The only one that said "all drug use" here is you. Seems you lack that thinking capability that you require of others.

Spoken like a true caveman.
Indeed. The sum is at the very least missing 3 zeros. As long as data-breaches can be laughed off in this fashion, nothing is going to change.
I do too. Would be consistent wit observable facts, like the current choice of president.
Far, far too difficult. You get pretty perfect security long before that.
Indeed. The level of stupidity demonstrated is truly astounding.
You are apparently too dumb to understand the difference between a crime with a victim and one without one. And you are also apparently too dumb to see what causes the majority of problems that drug users have.
Indeed.
So they require higher productivity in exchange for not having to provide office-space? That is kind of backwards...
Well, yes. It also means that you lose top-tier people when you do not offer the option.
Basically what my boss (he is the CEO) did when he got children. Works very well for him.

Fully agree on that. Hardly the first, widely hyped thing, that is only good for the separation of fools and their money.
