Thanks, AC, for actually giving a serious answer and putting a human face on the too-often faceless target of fat ridicule. Everyone - literally every single person in the world - is facing their own unique struggle and it bugs me to see people dismissing other people's struggles so nonchalantly, like "Just be skinny! I can do it so why can't you"
Well, it makes sense to specialize in whatever you're best at. Tesla has innovated in some areas of automotive design, and simply followed the pack in other areas; i see no reason why Tesla Motors couldn't become an OEM parts supplier for other car makers, if they decide that batteries and all-electric power trains are interesting and reinventing the rearview mirror is boring.
Jesus christ. So Startssl won't even revoke a cert for a customer who's already bought it, unless they pay extra?
Why is Startssl a trusted CA? Shenanigans like that ought to be clear grounds for Chrome, Firefox et. al. to leave Startssl out of their default bundle. Am I wrong?
Plenty of their semi-competent customers will cluelessly order new ones instead of rekeying their existing ones, and I'm sure none of the CA's will lift a finger to cure them of this misunderstanding.
If you've been sending and receiving sensitive SSL traffic for a while before the vulnerability was disclosed, then you should consider all that traffic retroactively compromised, and that might involve calling up a lot of customers and breaking some bad news to them.
Being well-prepared helps, but it's ridiculous to suggest that this only costs money for the the ill-prepared.
Medicine is a special case of a profession which is subject to additional consumer protections above and beyond the regular market ones, for reasons relating to safety.
you can, however, sell 'medicine' to the public with no guarantee of its *efficacy* for a particular purpose, merely that it be safe. That's homeopathy.
Yeah, how unreasonable for feminists to want women in charge of beauty standards for women!
It's almost as bad as having black people developing and marketing those African hair straightening products!
Furthermore, I bet feminists have literally nothing to say about this product since women are involved - we all know that they have never ever criticized other women for participating in antifeminist stuff.
Residential ISPs are not famed as being secured strongholds - and even if they were, all it takes is compromising a host in the target LAN - which, if they use a lot of functional-out-of-the-box network-aware gadgets, might be trivially easy too.
Why does this facile and 'truthy' sentiment get reliably upvoted whenever someone posts it? It's neither insightful nor particularly original, and what's worse, it's demonstrably false as a matter of empirical psychology.
"Wants to murder someone" is not a simple, binary, on-or-off property of anyone's mental state, and the man-with-a-mission loading rounds into his gun with cool, icy determination which this argument brings to mind, does not characterize the vast majority of violent crime. In real life, people are subject to psychological influences from myriad sources, and people who are in a state of seriously wanting to kill someone, tend to be in an even more unstable, influenceable state of mind than normal. People's car-buying desisions are demonstrably affected by such minutiae as the physical layout of the showroom, and the order in which the salesperson decides to present them.
What kind of alien to human psychology would you have to be, to imagine that the ready availability of tools to kill someone from far away, without any eye contact or physical proximity, wouldn't make murder psychologically easier to go through with?
FAIL3 -- the alleged "benefits" of the Fifth Amendment apply equally to the innocent and guilty, or disproportionately favor the guilty.
Whoa whoa whoa, back the truck up. "It helps more than it hurts" is a awfully low bar of justification to set for a constitutional law. Here, have a hypothetical:
You have 3 suspects in custody. For some highly contrived reason too pedantic to relate here, you know for a certainty that two of them are guilty of a crime punishable by death, and one of them is absolutely innocent of any crime, but you haven't any clues as to which one is the innocent one.
By the symmetry argument you'll have to do the same thing to all three of them. If you do anything other than execute them, you "disproportionately favour the guilty". But our justice system needs to adhere to a higher standard than that, because that way despotism lay.
No no no! I learned from a very special episode of Family Matters that racism is what it's called when an individual treats another individual with racial prejudice, and that is all. There is no such thing as systemic or institutional oppression, and there is no such thing as "society" or "culture" which forms rough consensus on all sorts of things including the relative worth of different kinds of people, and which shapes the individual opinions of thousands or millions of people at once. To talk about society, or institutions, or anything collective at all, means thinking about people in terms of groups instead of individuals, which is the very definition of racism!
Sorry, I pooped myself a little bit. What were you saying again?

Inevitably, there will be reciprocity deals between content providers and transit providers. Either above the table or under it.
Because apparently everyone thinks the only useful feature of a bottle is "lets you hold liquids in your hand."
The whole "resealing" thing is kind of useful, if you can't or don't want to finish your water in one sip.
There's also the thing where you can handle them with dirty hands and the inside stays sanitary.
But as long as you don't care about any of the pertinent features of bottles, sure, this is a "bottle."

It also costs money to mitigate and manage risk.

That's pretty bold of you.
What exactly do you think the word "times" means?

One or two good digital photos of the key is sufficient to cut a working replacement by hand.
Don't forget the telephone sanitizers.
and a far greater percentage of those are hunting rifles and shotguns as opposed to combat rifles and pistols.
You must not have been around for very long. It gets much more authoritarian than that.

well there's this guy
and then there's these guys
Then why does it always seem to be the weakest-minded people who are the ones complaining about "political correctness"?
