    ...that manages authentication and privacy information on their servers without knowing: a. they are using up-to-date software b. that they are actually deploying it correctly c. that they don't just go with the default settings It's akin to trusting an electronic voting system with proprietary code that you can't examine. And 3rd party audit of security practices is a joke.

  3. Out of 8 billion people on the planet, there will always be stupid people doing stupid things and accidentally hurting themselves. Are we going to try and outlaw this experiment because of 8 people?

  4. Re:Tanned people are better mates? on There's No Such Thing as a Safe Tan (theconversation.com) · · Score: 1

    In Asian countries, a tan is considered the mark of an outside laborer and considered unattractive. That's why you see lots of Asian women obsessively trying to shade their faces from the sun. I wouldn't surprise me if the same were true in Europe up until the last century.

    Why doesn't NASA open an investigation into itself to figure out who drinks alcohol...a more potent and dangerous drug.

  8. Are Azure, AWS, et. al. compelled to make their infrastructure source (derived from OSS) available to customers who use Azure, AWS, etc? If so, this seems like an unfortunate loophole in the GPL.

    When has this awesome government backing ever stopped hyperinflation? Resulting in the fiat currency becoming worth 0?

    Won't the issue then be: The FDA doesn't really give a crap about those who incorrectly label their food "Non-GMO"? What regulatory body enforces what "Non-GMO" means and what the punishment will be for mislabeling?

    Look up Smedley Butler. "I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902–1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents." Corporations have but one purpose, to generate profit for their investors with typically little regard for ethics or morality. Government, while often times corrupt, is ostensibly set up for the benefit of the people.
