Re: The Ends of the World@ jake
Nominate some better candidates and I'll consider your rationale.
At this point, there aren't any better candidates. If we look at this being births and deaths of life, perhaps what was considered an advanced civilization did exist before the event. We don't know and may never know. At it its, we're the best currently. In a million or billion years, it may well be something else.
Voting machine maker claims vote machine hack-fests a 'green light' for foreign hackers
Re: Er...
Security by obsurity, surely. So they won't participate in these kinds of things, that's fine. Now for the disclaimer...if they really wanted to ensure security, they would maybe go open source? Or invite selected white hat hacker types to test either on-site or in very secure locations?
It's not a question of "they're happy to work with outside researchers" but are they actually doing it? This article on the heels of the previous one, smells like a fish that's been left in the sun for a week.
Defense Distributed starts selling gun CAD files amid court drama

Like that will stop anyone. There's more CNC mills* in the US than this guy apparently thinks there are. I suppose banning them will be the next attempt?
*There's probably more "hobby" CNC mills than commercial ones. By that, I mean in private hands in someone's basement/garage/home workshop than the commercial ones used by industry.

Re: @Martin-73
Good points. I can download plans to make black powder rifles and pistols (I have made one of each).. I assume there's probably plans for semi-autos out there.
As for 3D printed guns, no thanks. Just too much risk to the thing blowing up in your face and even if it doesn't the barrel will probably be deformed by the heat of the burning powder and passage of the slug so it will be inaccurate.
Voting machine maker vows to step up security, Fortnite bribes players to do 2FA – and more
Re: Security devices and web interfaces
And if you get overridden because the higher ups insist on it and tell you to Do It or Else?
I'd make damn sure there's emails involved and not word of mouth. Print out the emails and secure in a lock box or better yet, use the local bank's security lock boxes they have on site. Crap rolls downhill and you don't want the blame when things go pear shaped because some manager/exec said "just do it".

And the mentally ill who wont take their meds. The only group I have any sympathy for are the last group, the mentally ill, but due to California's completely fucking stupid "Patients Rights" laws there is zero you can do for them.
Doesn't that go back to one of Reagan's programs? Or possibly Carter... I recall the Feds doing something about shutting down support to the States. Guess I best go Google some....
Re: That's some seriously hard of thinking
But question for the natives..
Some cities tried that back in the 60's and 70's. Didn't turn out well. They became hotspots of crime, drugs, and gangs. There were a lot of building torn down in the 90's because they were just unlivable. Appliances stolen and sold, copper wiring, you name it, if had any value it was stolen by the residents.
Re: That's some seriously hard of thinking
So you ARREST them, FORCE them to leave town, and it'll stop.
What you seem to want is NIMBY and it doesn't work. The ones arrested might move on to the next town or city but there's new ones hitting the streets all the time. And the banned ones usually come back after the new town starts tossing them out.
A big part of the problem in our town is the homeless druggies.
Is there an answer short of shooting them? If so, it doesn't look like anyone has found the best solution.
As porn site pounds hard on piracy laws, Cox pulls out prematurely
Re: Who cares ?
It seems as though a bunch of rights agents and telecoms operating companies - both industries that make nothing themselves but sell access to other people''s work - are fighting over a share of cake.
The rights agents and telecoms care... oh... and their lawyers of course. Have to keep the income stream flowing. The telecoms care because they could loose income and have some increased costs for doing what the agents want. OTOH, the rights agents will lose income and profit if they don't kick and scream. I'm guessing that whoever has the deeper pockets and better lawyers will win.

Re: Okay, so where are law enforcement students ?
If that isn't being done, then our governments are even stupider than I thought - which, of course, is quite possible.
Well, we all like to think that a) the LEO's are smarter than the crooks, or b) the crooks are smarter than the LEO's. I guess it depends on which side of the fence one sits on. Both sides are equally smart and equally stupid, just maybe not in the same areas at the same time.

Re: Finally!
Lovely dream SS, I hope that someday (in our lifetime would be welcome) that it will actually happen. Given the current FCC's attention to the population instead of the big ISP's, there's a snowball's chance in hell of it coming to pass. Even if the FCC started mandating change and forcing competition it just seems doubtful that it's even possible.
At the rate the big guys have been sucking up any competition, we'll soon only have one company in the whole country that owns everything. The board and the shareholders will love it. The rest of us, not so much.
Send the lady on the horse my way, I can use a nice fantasy about now cause reality sure does suck, doesn't it?
UK's info commish is having a howler: Site dies amid 'plagiarised' GDPR book scandal
Re: ALL the regulators are useless...
A toothless and clueless regulator is the best outcome for all concerned parties besides the public, whose opinion doesn't matter.
FTFY. If our legislators/agencies were properly doing their jobs, either these agencies would have a clue and teeth or be quickly sent to oblivion. It would safe a pile of money and possibly reduce paperwork and headaches for everyone. An alternative would be to legislate such that these agencies could actually regulate effectively but that's just a dream.
What's really sad is these regulators/agencies are in all countries. The amount of empolyees they have probably will reduce unemployment benefit costs so it's a form of state welfare.
US Democrats call in Feds: There's something phishy going on with our voter database
Re: A security test?
My guess would be some PHB came up with this brilliant idea, waved it in front of some higher level and then did it. All he/she was looking for was brownie points. He probably had some poor web person on staff (or even a contractor) that got pushed into doing this.
So instead of being a hero, the PHB is a self centered clown. Hopefully it's the PHB that gets fired for not communicating this upward and not the poor schmuck at the bottom of the food chain who actually did the work.
IBM slaps patent on coffee-delivering drones that can read your MIND
Re: Hello
Now that I put it like that, it sounds disturbingly reminiscent of some "AI"-driven small drone weapon being developed by the usual amoral Silicon Valley scum for the US government. Which unfortunately is where it's more likely such technology would *actually* be deployed.
So then: "Hi there. You look like a bad person. Here's live grenade with the pin pulled."????
Redis has a license to kill: Open-source database maker takes some code proprietary
Re: I do not understand
Go back a few decades... remember "Share Ware"? One would write a program, app, whatever and put it on BBS's. Usually with "you can use this anyway you like but if you like using it, send us a few dollars" type of thing. Greedy companies and cheap users killed that off real fast. Open source seems to be headed that way also unless a way of paying people for their efforts is found.
Internet overseer continues wall-punching legal campaign
Re: Any difference between ICANN vs FCC?
ICANN used to be controlled by the US government and now it's not. The special interest groups seem to be in control from all accounts.
Should the government have spun it off on it's own? Who knows but this sure is beginning to appear to have been a huge mistake. If it hadn't been spun off, there might be other issues similar to what the FCC is doing including allegations of favoritism or maybe not. Don't know.
One of the biggest problems with "internet" and "tech" is the big corporations wanting things set up for their benefit and to hell with the people. Controlling the FCC and now it looks like ICANN, should give any profit monger a wet dream.
I don't see any of this ending well.
Texas ISP slams music biz for trying to turn it into a 'copyright cop'
the music industry argues Grande benefits financially from selling faster speed internet connections to copyright infringers. "The greater the bandwidth its subscribers require for pirating content, the more money Grande receives."
This could become a "case" for certain ISP's to hold back on upgrading users to higher connection speeds.
What's holding you back from Google Cloud? Oh, OK... it was hoping you'd say 'lack of hardware security modules'
(And for what it's worth, Google claims it's the only cloud vendor that encrypts all customer data at rest.)
Since Google hosts it, it's their software, they probably hold the keys also. Same for the other cloudy providers. If they're hosting your data on their servers, it's in their control. Maybe someday customers using these "services" will grasp these concepts.
Big Tech turns saboteur to cripple new California privacy law in private
Apple shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, to find gambling in its Chinese App Store
Chinese state media had reported the apps were pulled after users claimed they were being scammed out of money.
First rule of gambling: "The house never loses".
The second rule: "See rule number 1."
China shouldn't go after the messenger (Apple in this case) but the ones who are marketing it and profiting from it. But then, Apples the easy target because "not Chinese".
I wonder if the phones made by Chinese companies for the Chinese market are having this problem?
Mozilla accuses FCC of abdicating its role, ignoring comments in net neutrality lawsuit
Re: Chevron..

Re: At Superprof we take security seriously and know how key it is to the running of our business
It makes more sense if you replace "security" with "bullshit".
That pretty much sums up every companies' response to any issue. I don't know why they even bother to say it since it automatically sets off the Bullshit Alarm.
