Interesting. My first reaction was that the tech CEOs would respond with "fine, we'll move offshore." But since such a huge portion of their market putting the government in a position to further regulate them out of existence. How could the tech leaders even take a firm stand?
Wouldn't this apply to Google or pretty much any company too? If they provide search information to the government who then rounds up people who later disappear or aren't allowed to have children, or whatever....
I have no knowledge about the case or anything like that. Assuming his Tweets were real, I'd speculate that the police collected as much evidence as they could and asked people to take things like your post down. Or perhaps it's his family doing it.
Agreed. But I know several businesses that don't allow any sort of phones or recording devices in their buildings due to someone stealing their secret sauce. Does this apply to them?
Also, regarding the drug tests and such, it's not mandatory, you can always just quit.
While I disagree with the walled garden, I wonder if the Indians will find workarounds. Perhaps they'll post news articles's text or send each other files through chat to spread information they would otherwise not have access to.
It's never a priority until it's needed. People say we can live without that system for a few days or weeks or whatever. My response is, well let's do a DR test and turn it off for a few days.
It might happen organically. It doesn't sound like they have a good DR plan. I hope their backups work. They said "several days," that's not a good sign.
Fair enough. Someone made the point a few posts up that this isn't subject to HIPAA and while I'm no lawyer they're probably right. The longer I work in business the more I see morality thrown out the window for better or for worse. I feel bad for these people but it's true, buyer beware.
The same is true with the CISA act this week. Put all your stuff in the cloud and were under the impression you were protected by warrants and all that? Too bad!
Isn't that a crime? If so is one bound to report it? I mean, if you know there's going to be a serious breach, especially if the governor is on the list, holy crap man.
This is a huge point. The company and therefore the CEO are responsible for their customers' very sensitive information. Saying that they don't have a strong IT team is like a bank saying they don't have a safe. What the hell? Of all places you would think a website that knows you have a highly stigmatic disease would get this and spend appropriately even if it meant charging their clients more. I'm guessing those clients would have been happy to do so.
Good point. I'm not a fan of reporters. Oftentimes it seems they're trying to sensationalize a story and have many in accuracies in even simple facts that don't require advanced education to understand.
In the story they say (in the text) the guy in the parachute got entangled at 75 feet. The video clearly shows it was at like 5 feet, maybe 10. That day when it was on the news and several news anchors repeated that 75 feet with a video playing behind them that was clearly lower.
That's just one example, I see it all the time at tons of news outlets. It's one of the reasons I've stopped paying attention to most of the media.
What the hell happened to fact checkers? Is that even still anyone's job at a news agency?
Surfaces Pros are infiltrating sales teams like crazy around here (at least around here at the many companies I'm working with). The thing that all the sales people ask for is mobile broadband. In reading your comment it would be nice to be able to pair them super easily so they could use their phones as a hot spot. It works fine with an iPhone, it's just not freaky fast like sales people want.
P.S. Sales people are the bane of my existence so grain of sale and all that.

It's called telemetry now. Get with the times.

And what is that business model? I did my get it from the context.

I predict that you're either APK or the moo guy. You want your comments seen!
My guess is Windows embedded. By default on, for example WYSE terminals, it's read only.

We have about 3,000 of them and have maybe 10 fail a year with a try hardware issue, If that. Now sales people breaking them is a a different issue ...
That's exactly what came to mind for me. Back in the early 00's I remember it was all I heard about in academia.
Sounds like Stack.

From TFA. US-CERT is a part of the US Department of Homeland Security. They helped Sony in 2014 during their infamous attack/breach.
My favorite quote from TFS "We’re not the Geek Squad."
We'll having flying Teslas in three years! Finally, our childhood dreams embodied.
Assuming OP is in the US who would OP report it to? Perhaps it's not too late.

I hadn't realized it the first time around but this was also a MongoDB database. Not that it really matters, the CEO makes them all sound incompetent.
