Ice Phisherman posted:Oh God, you're right. Maybe not make or break, but it'll definitely be a wedge issue about who is a to blame. Then it'll be a matter of who they can blame the Zika outbreak on. And with Trump spending nothing in targeted ads the dems will control the narrative. Rubio to his credit has actually been one of the few in the GOP who has been trying to do something about zika and the spread of zika. His party on the other hand....

They were paid a one-time flat fee for the solution. It's up to you if you want to believe the "low profile, undisclosed hackers gave us the secret to do it!" story, I guess.

evil_bunnY posted:Don't give much of a poo poo either way but Zero day research/trading firms are a (despicable) thing. Of course. I only meant it from the standpoint that the timeline was "We can't do it" -> "These Israeli guys can!" -> "US used Israeli firm!" -> "Nuh-uh, it's a secret group of other people"... and it'd be a touch hypocritical for me to take that as gospel while mocking the hell out of everyone who believes Guccifer2.0 is anything other than a Russian D&D ploy. Getting more into the weeds on the existence of the groups...while they can certainly be used for nefarious purposes (and it's up to you if you find this alleged use nefarious)-I don't have an issue with the existence of these groups and think the US should be budgeting much more for bounties on undisclosed exploits. Whether it's been sold already or not. Letting the US government decide whether or not the potential usefulness of an exploit is more important than the possible impacts of criminal/foreign state abuse is a bit gross, but it beats the current market where the highest bidder gets to make that determination. I'd guess that it would be a net gain for InfoSec.

QuarkJets posted:Follow that up with all of the hubbub over the government asking Apple to unlock some cell phone and then one day just saying "Nevermind, we didn't need your help after all". True. Nothing is %100 secure which is why we still need other kinds of protections. You can put a lock on your front door but that won't stop someone good with lock picks or willing to just take a brick to your window. That said the way the NSA has been throwing a poo poo-fit over encryption tells me it still has value (maybe it makes more casual/cheaper forms of spying difficult?), so I'll keep on pushing for it for now.

Rygar201 posted:I though the worst thing about his campaign was emboldening white nationalists across the country, but hey I guess a liberal being snide with you is just as bad. Compartmentalization. I know white nationalists are, and will continue to be, a problem post-election. But if Im just thinking about trouble from my own side, centrists assuming a mandate because they rolled over a low-rent Larfleeze and his own interpretation of a white lantern corps is probably the biggest problem there and the one I'm most likely to deal directly with.

"Now, if Trump does win, okay, it's going to be a real opportunity for people like white nationalists" Thanks for the sweet audio clip? What there's no video? Guess we'll just have to go with stock white nationalist photos instead! Darn! Man to cutting anti-Trump ads right now, that must be a flood of choices! Personally, I would layer this in between the existing "Trump yelling about beating up protesters in the good old days" clips.

Lightning Knight posted:They said it was from a radio program. Sorry it was sarcasm because since it is a radio clip the audio will have high quality versions but likewise the stylistic conventions for TV allow you to use related stock footage behind the the text of what is being said for key quotes and have it feel newsy still. So since this idiot said this on his show instead of loving up in a live TV interview, it's going to end up with the audio clip played with nasty white power images in the background rather than some old white dude babbling.

I've been seeing an interesting pushback against encryption advocacy lately, on the premise that it's too often suggested as a silver-bullet or hyped more aggressively than more fundamental and helpful elements of a protection strategy. In your analogy, some see it as advocating for entryway cameras as a major security upgrade when a staggering number of people don't have front doors... and many of those who have doors don't know they need locks. The best thing Taylor Swift's ever written there wolf posted:Compartmentalization. I know white nationalists are, and will continue to be, a problem post-election.

And if I'm thinking about my own side, I'm thinking that it's going to be liberals, progressives, and leftists constantly hearing about how we're centrists because we didn't find Sanders a compelling candidate for whatever reason and it was a two person race. It's totally possible that the primary was Left vs Left rather than Center vs Left. Alternatively, just go ahead and claim total victory in the party if this is what you think a centrist tax plan is: *"Exit Tax"ing unrepatriated corporate assets *Requiring 50% foreign ownership before a company can leave US Tax Residence (currently 20%) *Permanently reducing the Estate Tax threshold to $3.5m ($7m for married couples) without indexing for inflation, while raising the top tax rate and setting a lifetime cap of $1m for gift tax exemptions *Taxing carried interest as ordinary income *Implementing the Buffet Rule *Markedly increasing the holding period in which capital gains are taxed as normal income *Gaining 75% of the $1.1t/$3.2t (10/20 years) in increased tax revenue from the top 1% and nearly all of it from the top 5%

Here's an interesting article by Matt Taibbi in Rolling Stone where he gets to once again brutalize and mock the editorialist he hates the most, Thomas Friedman, and analyze both parties failure to address the growing unease and concern of everyone in the middle class in response to globalization. quote:With regard to the latter, what troubles Friedman the most is the way Hillary is cozying up to her critics on the left: So according to Friedman, if your mom and dad, or if you, want to remain in the workforce, then you need to both work and constantly re-educate yourself. That's a scary loving thought and expensive as hell if true. Not likely that people outside the upper 10% of the population can actually pull that off. edit: plus, working hard and playing by the rules is for lazy idiots radical meme fucked around with this message at 02:51 on Aug 7, 2016 |

Wait you think it's scary that if people want to remain in the workforce they need to work? Isn't that the meaning of the term? But yeah, continuing professional education is a thing.

The Firearms Policy Coalition is funding a lawsuit against California Legislative Counsel Diane Boyer-Vine claiming that their first amendment right to free speech was violated when Boyer-Vine's office notified WordPress that a post containing the home addresses of California state senators and Assembly members violated state law which prohibits the publication of such.quote:On July 5, a blogger who goes by the alias “The Real Right Winger” wrote a post characterizing the legislators as “tyrants” and “legisexuals” for passing laws that the author criticized for thwarting the rights of gun owners. Among them is a law creating a registry to track ammunition sales throughout the state.

Nessus posted:It seems like the entire American economy has been reshaped by companies deciding they just don't ever want to train anybody, ever. It basically is. Trying to find a job as a young person with no meaningful job history is deeply pointless feeling. "Part-time" means "we don't want to hire someone full time to do this, so we're going to hire two people at just below the line between full and part-time and make them come in every day," and everyone wants a full resume and job history with prior experience for basic rear end poo poo you can train someone in two weeks to do. It's rather brilliant, though. Why spend money or pay for benefits for employees who might leave in a year or two when you can just shut out everyone who isn't already pre-trained and desperate enough to do exactly what you want, when you want?

I used to work for a manufacturer who only wanted to hire people that had years experience in a certain software. Software that only one other place we knew of used, meaning the two places would just keep exchanging employees.

It's rich because Friedman is an immensely useless hack who just married you and now shits out worthless columns for no God damned reason. Also he doesn't mean work, like actually doing your job. He means work, like doing the job of two and a half people so that the company gets the proper productivity numbers despite the stress and strain that puts on the worker. So work your rear end off doing more than your job while also keeping up with new technology and being open to completely starting over every few years or so. Don't worry about burning out and causing yourself health issues, it's time for you to completely relearn a new trade and start over from the beginning. Don't know why you keep bitching about the American Dream, you don't have time for that.
