All the jobs destroyed in the colonies is not part of these statistics. When Europe ran out of colonies to exploit, it created a series of wars, starting from 1890 till 1945. That is the level of social disturbance we are talking about here. When India and China lose the value of their cheap labor, the unrest and the migration that will trigger will dwarf the middle east refugee crisis.
"The company's stock price has fallen 27 percent since it announced the hack September 7."
Surprised it is still at 73% of old price. I would like it to go bankrupt and take the entire credit reporting industry down with it.
We need to make both the banks, and the credit reporting agencies responsible for any fraudulent information they might publish. Claim A is in default of a loan, without proof that it was A who actually borrowed, bank should be liable for libel. Report the bank's claim, the credit reporting agency should be held accessory after the fact, aider and abettor. That is the only way to clean up the mess.
"For financial institutions it is important: They bear the financial responsibility for identity theft," said Summit's attorney Stacey Slaughter of the law firm Robins Kaplan. "All of the components that would allow someone to create a new identity" were exposed in the Equifax hack.
It is not my job to securely guard my name, address and social security number. It is, in fact, impossible to secure it. It is the bank's responsibility to make sure they lend to the right person. Banks can not lend to any one claiming to be A and hold A responsible for default.
If they lend to B and report A is in default, A should be able to sue the banks for libel.
The root cause of this identity theft market is the willingness of the banks to lend without doing full verification of the identity. If banks won't lend so easily, then there is no reason for people to steal identity. Banks want to lend freely, without any verification. They make us prove we did not borrow the money and we were victims of identity theft. It should not be our responsibility.
In fact they won't be able to collect in court if they sue us. The only weapon they have is to report us to be in default. Well, we need to take that weapon away from them. They should not be able to report default without first proving they lent to the person they allege to have defaulted on loans.
Extend the libel liability to the lenders too. If they lend money to some Tom Dick or Harry and they report to the credit reporting agencies that I am in default, they should be held liable for damaging my reputation and credit worthiness.
That is what will reduce identity theft. People steal identities because they are able to easily borrow based on stolen identities. We need to make it very difficult to borrow with stolen identities.
In nearly all the other countries, unless the lender proves that they actually lent money to A, not to someone claiming to be A, they dont get to collect. In USA too they might not be able to collect but they can damage the reputation with impunity. That is the root cause of this identity theft market.
When Osama bin Laden was killed, the posters and T-Shirts of the protesters in Bangladesh had picture of Osama with the Seasme Street character Bart. It was hilarious!
I will never forgive microsoft for deliberately introducing white spaces in path names. There was already a well established convention about white spaces. They knew it,. They deliberately did it to break all the scripts in linux/unix. My scripts broke. Even now I hate the stupid "Program Files (x86)" and options like/build "Release|x64".
What Microsoft bleeds into rest of the environment. When it had the marketshare it kept releasing uncertainity storms repeatedly and we were forced to react and put up with and adapt to it. And every time I fixed my scripts once again I could imagine a bunch of jerks in Redmond laughing at me. They showed no respect for us. They can expect no mercy from us. I will go to ends of earth to bad mouth Microsoft at every opportunity.
The network is there whether or not you're using it, the actual cost increase for people using that much data is pretty low.
The question is what is the size of the network? The usage follows a power law distribution, 20% of the users generate 80% of all the traffic. If you size the network for the 80% of the users and the charge the 20% of heavy users for additional use, what would be the size and cost of the network? What would be the base cost? What would be the additional cost for the heavy users?
On the other hand, if you size the network for the 98th percentile user, and spread the additional cost on all users, what is the base cost and what is the cost to the heavy user?
Clearly low usage users are subsidizing the network they don't need for the heavy users.
I am on a plan that has a high speed cap at 2 GB per line per month. I don't use mobile data that much, and I definitely don't stream video on these tiny screens. I rarely exceed even this small data allowance. Now this plan is not available any longer. They are pushing a 32 GB a month, (or 50 GB a month) high speed data plan at twice the cost. To their credit they are willing to let me keep my old plan, and even add a new line to it. But they cap it at 5 lines per account.
Most people don't use that much data, and they subsidize those use so much.
Indian government may be in cahoots with the pharma companies. But Indian people will help you
Find an Indian friend who does not have HepC who will get his physician to prescribe that HepC meds for him and he will hand them over to you. Some will do it out of kindness and lot more will do it for a little baksheesh.
Work with the system at personal level. Fight it collectively.
Probably some old judge not familiar with the reach and extent of the internet and how inane dumb and dangerous the hard coded credentials are.
So FTC can not ban any device till it can demonstrate at least one instance of actual harm? At least one baby must die before a choking hazard toy must be banned?
Technology changes and advances must faster than the rate at which we retire and replace our judges.
They can easily design a bigger tank, and add more water on flights that are not full and increase the humudity in the cabin, if they want to. But they don't care.
If it is possible to supply extra humidity only to targeted passengers, then they would be interested in the idea. 20$ more for extra humidity seats.
The lower humidity is not to protect the metal. Anyway aluminum does not corrode, it forms such a strong layer of oxidized aluminum lower layers are not exposed.
The lower humidity is simply to save money. They bleed air off the third or fourth stage ring of the jet engine to pressurize the
cabin. When the dry upper atmospheric air is compressed it produces extremely dry air for the cabin. They use humidifiers to add water vapor. To save cost to carry less water. 20 gallons of water more = 75 kg more = 1 fare paying passenger less.
How about "going away from family and friends and the familiar, perhaps for an extended period, causes sadness easily triggered to tears by a mildly sad moment in a movie syndrome"?
What makes you think all people are flying away from their families? I would suggest that close to half of people are flying towards their home family and friends.
Oh, that other half gets depressed at the idea of getting back with the family and friends and stress created by maintaining the facade, known as the bonfire of the vanities syndrome.
For some reason my phone does not get the SMS with just a five digit number sender. A regular phone number works, but most of these sms from credit card activity etc comes from a five digit number. My phone does not get them.
I changed the number to google voice number. I get the alert in email to my gmail account, and also a message to the phone. But not the default SMS application, but to some google+ messenger kind of thing. Frankly I thought they were dead. But they give me the alert.
Does this also use SMS and is vulnerable to SS7 security vulnerability?
I guessed all, 100%, every last code of ALL ATM Cards. OMG, I am amazing. I will post my guess of mere 10,000 numeric four digit codes used to secure the ATM cards. It will definitely contain your ATM card code. Am I not amazing.
Yeah, true, my set has the code but does not link the code with any actual card. But, this AI thing also just guessed some possible passwords. That is all, It did not match it with any account. So, at least in that sense, I beat that thing hollow!

Why did you think Dijkstra said, "Always debug the code, not the comments".

Extend. Check.
Will give you three guesses for what comes next.
Rural Ohio! Yes, that place. We often come within 35,000 feet of it when we take commercial. When we take the Lear we stay at least 40,000 feet away.
So FTC can not ban any device till it can demonstrate at least one instance of actual harm? At least one baby must die before a choking hazard toy must be banned?

Why advertise the auxiliary brain is small?
They fill tires with helium to carry one more passenger.
If it is possible to supply extra humidity only to targeted passengers, then they would be interested in the idea. 20$ more for extra humidity seats.

Also, Proterra was driving in optimal conditions, with no passengers, no stops and a gentle test track
Sherman Williams has decided to raise the ante. It is going to release a video of the 200 gallons of paint drying.
And clicking to find what you want has gotten so counter-intuitive that most people utilize the typing in the search box to pull things up now.
And all one has to do is to stick in a c:\> and make the search box 24 lines by 80 columns and you are back to DOS!
And most X11 window managers had a tiny "mini consoles" way back in 1990s!
I changed the number to google voice number. I get the alert in email to my gmail account, and also a message to the phone. But not the default SMS application, but to some google+ messenger kind of thing. Frankly I thought they were dead. But they give me the alert.

Is that so? Take my guess of just 100,000 code set. Gotcha!
... at least get something that is worth the risk. Scrubbing negative review from google search? Dumb people be, dumb people do.
Yeah, true, my set has the code but does not link the code with any actual card. But, this AI thing also just guessed some possible passwords. That is all, It did not match it with any account. So, at least in that sense, I beat that thing hollow!
