No different than any Fortune 100/500 company, such as Intel, GE, Ford, any national bank, any number of organizations. 'Locking them down' doesn't bring them to a standstill. As if they are not 'locked down' now, for if not, they were pwned a few years ago. Totally.
'Locked down' is dog whistle for "I can't do whatever I want on the company laptop oh noes pimpage". Yeah. It's not even yours. Be happy you've got a job you can do from your mom's basement. My home office has a real window that shows me sunlight and my back lawn, not just the galvanized foundation vent and the spider nest. And a dog. And fresh coffee, Sumatra.
'Cyberwarfare' is nearly the ultimate asymmetrical warfare scenario. It takes relatively insignificant effort to inflict massive, possibly fatal, harm on an opponent.
And it's universally true. You think the US is uniquely unable to attack foes in this manner? Or to mask such an attack, deflecting blame?
Truth is, MAD worked to mitigate the threat of nuclear war for decades. A similar protocol will be needed to prevent all-out cyberwar, which would be nearly as damaging the nuclear war, for everyone.
It's a serious threat because it permits threats hat would never be nuclear to exert the same relative force against anyone else. And to do so in temporary anonymity, possibly even permanent if they can do enough damage.
The answer to such attacks, of course, would be to retaliate in more tangible ways; if you could even find the attackers. And be sure of their identity and sponsorship.
First thing that comes to mind; the multiple layers of backups and images needed to assure recovery from these events. In a dynamic manufacturing environment, I would want stackable images, possibly hourly delta backups, maybe even run things in VMs with on-and off-line redundancy. I would be diving my VMware rep insane with demands to port the images into KVM or virtualbox, and always at the lowest possible version to permit restoration despite underlying OS or environmental changes... Data separation to avoid losing it all in a half hour.
Then and only then would I go back to fretting over the network security team and all the layers of intrusion detection and prevention.
And a lab full of honeypots to try and identify the vermin before they find the real cheese. Because if I had Boeing as a client or employer, I would know I work for one of the most coveted targets on Earth. Not just script kiddies, but jerks, paid criminals, state actors, and competitive industrial spies. Everyone with an Android phone or a RasPi. Everyone. Even Facebook.
And I would probably be redesigning the data assurance system yearly, just to keep refining it with the latest options.
Intel certainly deals with this. They are an information company, and losing tools due to these threats should be unacceptable. Not merely airgap security for production tooling, but for all company IP. No other way. Seems like Boeing had a hole. Darn.
Even swiping is imperfect. Gimme Graffiti strokes and I'm more productive. NTM keyboards are so 90s and BBish. But I'm not quite ready to buy a fresh 3310 and go to T9. That's what I would do to punish the FD...
My now-ancient ASUS G50VT included ExpressGate. Based on Splashtop, burned into the BIOS ROM, manageable. Rudimentary Firefox browser, email client, Skype, and obviously hard to update. But it ran independently of any OS installed on storage.
Splashtop is now done, but it was also used by ASUS on some motherboards, and then endured obscurity, competition, and finally turned into something else.
It did work. It was pretty minimal, and could have been cool. And it certainly is possible today, even in BIOS, with flexibility and update capabilities, but somehow I don't see any of this on the market.
The obvious solution would be to embed ChromeOS or something similar, fairly lightweight and useful. This could let you keep your primary OS invisible.
My point was that buying crypto currency to be used for payments might look like an 'investment', and even be indistinguishable from an investment, but really was merely a deposit. And sure enough, it was interpreted as 'investment'. Should have taken the time to more fully explain.
"(1) Advertising media. This part provides criteria for use by advertising media in determining whether to accept and publish advertising regarding sales or rental transactions.
Web sites are covered by the Fair Housing Act also, but some did claim they are exempted by Section 804(c), and the CDA 47USC sec 230. This has not been held. No safe harbor there.
"it's not so much that you're exempted by the law, it's that you're exempted by circumstance"
Nope. You can only be exempted by law, and the exemptions permitted there. A judge cannot easily deny obvious claims, though of course there is plenty of grey area... But it's the law...
That's an ADA violation. The only exception might be if it were prohibitively difficult to comply. For instance, your duplex on an island without ferry service. You could be excused for not providing transportation on and off the island. It may not be unreasonable for you to ignore a tenant's demand for transportation. Installing elevators in the building without ground-floor units might be prohibitive, depends.
And under the ADA, if you are entitled to government benefits and lack accessible transportation, you must be provided transportation to access those benefits. 'Accessible' in this example would mostly include a vehicle that accommodates a physical need, or if you were prohibited from driving (blindness, say) and had no other form of transportation available to you (no family, friends, etc available).
"It has been ruled a sufficiently personal and private matter by the courts that people are allowed to discriminate when they list to find a roommate."
Yeah, any characteristic would be fine. roommates are not protected.
However, your landlord changing terms or evicting you for a permitted roommate might be in trouble if they are found to have discriminated against a protected class. I'm pretty sure intent isn't required.
Frist problem they found - the backup driver wasn't engaged.
Since this 'driver' was being monitored, albeit perhaps incidentally to video recording, they will be going back and determining how many other drivers were not 'engaged' during testing.
Fix that, and they we can talk about software, sensors, and features of the autonomous mode vehicle...
Ah. So the NYSE is an auction, while crypto currency markets are, um, something else.
And the objects, stock certificates or crypto keys, are, well, intrinsically the same, worth what you think they are. Or else someone else thinks they are.
The market mechanism isn't my point, it's the value assessment and intrinsic value, if any.
We still don't kill inattentive pedestrians in the Phoenix area because we think they should know better. Even on McDowell or Grand traffic stops for those who seem to be oblivious to traffic. And even those who mock the traffic and cross, knowing they are too expensive to strike.
I wouldn't try cross the 128 in the Boston area, but 1) there are no crosswalks, it's freeway that makes the 101 look a little tame and 2) they don't even stop to change tires. I sure wouldn't try crossing Power Road at night without having a good look, even north of Brown.

No Way. Single best feature of the Palm universe.

Cost?

I don't think of Detroit, or Chicago, or Kansas City, as East Coast.
"HUD rules do not require that arrangement.
FTFY
To clarify:

Owning cryptocurrency sometimes gets you in to vote on forks, network changes, and true splits.
*whoosh*
Perhaps they opened a wallet and funded it so they could buy something with Bitcoin.
That's an 'investment', yes, but not so simple as an Investment...

And that tiny share of ownership entitled you to, what, what?
Not like you can go to the head office and do anything, unless you own a lot of shares, then you can maybe coerce someone into something.
I think you nailed it first time.
"hey, give me money and I will give you a token that has collectable (sic) value because I say it does"
How is this substantially different from the NYSE? Other than widespread acceptance of the NYSE?
You can count on that.

Non-blind pedestrians make that mistake a lot. Not paying much attention, no sound, no problem.
Ask a Gen2 Prius driver about this, and you will likely get stories of near misses.
