Because that website doesn't actually check if you put a real username/SSN in there, it is entirely a scam to get you to waive your class action rights. This doesn't have any bearing on whether or not arbitration is legal, but I've similarly heard that the clause is unenforceable, but the important thing is that you don't use that website.

This appears to just be a transparent trick to give up your right to sue them which is not allowed in any contract.

Arbitration clauses should be the most illegal thing in the world. They're robbing your right to trial at gunpoint. What good is a system of laws that's unenforceable because everything goes to kangaroo courts?

Wiggly Wayne DDS posted:the clause was never about the breach in the first case, that's about their services But that would require people to spend a minute or so actually reading something and/or fact checking! It's so much easier for them to just assume someone else read it and keep parroting the same garbage over and over and over again on social media and otherwise. ...I've just described a much larger problem than I intended, haven't I?

Private sector is the best, just look at all these great companies spending their money the right way.

Furism posted:Yes, once you unmount it. But they won't be able to upload the diff only because, being encrypted, the differences in the files will be all over the place (whereas for unencrypted files they can just do that, to save bandwidth). So chances are your whole volume will have to be re-uploaded fully each time, so don't make it too large. It's about 12mb. So, if I unmount after usage ( almost always will do this outta habit) I'm good?

well why not posted:It's about 12mb. So, if I unmount after usage ( almost always will do this outta habit) I'm good? Yep. Just don't mount it at the same time on different computers or you'll have sync conflicts but beside that you'll be fine.

I graduated this past spring with a CS degree and have been working as a "smart factory engineer" for the last six months. My role involves equal parts software development (C#/python,data warehousing), system monitoring (set up ELK nodes to monitor data output from PLCs and servers that interact with industrial equipment), and minor sysadmin stuff (mostly AD and server configuration). The company I'm with pays well, but the culture is really anti-tech and recently has been giving me some substantial reasons to start looking for a new job earlier than I would have preferred. I found an open listing for a Security Analyst position at a local utilities company that I did a year long senior project with while I was still in school, and I'm thinking of applying to it. The qualifications are listed as:code:Portland Sucks fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Sep 9, 2017 |

That sounds like a help desk role where you need to react to some lovely virus scanner kicking up alerts. Stopping PLCs turning into Stuxnet sounds more fun.

I wish we were worried about preventing them from becoming stuxnet. Unfortunately the reality is "of course we aren't going implement domain level authentication on our servers, we can't waste time with access roles when its easier to just have a universal login/password that everyone knows and we haven't changed in 20 years because its just eaiser that way" and "windows server 2003 is much more lightweight than its successors and everyone on call knows how to use it so upgrading, patching, or modifying those servers would prevent our maintenance team from being able to respond to production issues when you are off the clock PortlandSucks" "You don't want to be the only one who knows how to interact with all this new fangled tech."

I don't think there's any "might" to it. It would definitely be better in the long run. There's like a 100 entities out there who have my SSN/Birthday/Name for legit reasons.

you should find a position doing security engineering it sounds like, portland. if you can code you want to stay coding and definitely not working alongside a bunch of people who definitely do not write any of their own software

My internet boyfriend Brian Krebs did an awesome writeup explaining credit freezes, that's how I first heard about them: http://krebsonsecurity.com/2015/06/how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-embrace-the-security-freeze/ e: Just froze my credit with all 4, I've been meaning to do it for a while and this was a good motivator. TransUnion's website makes you create an account (equifaxsucks and equifaxreallysucks were both usernames already taken, looks like traffic might be up a little bit lately!) and the site is having issues, as I got an error trying to do it online, and in my state, Experian charged $5 for the service, but Equifax and Innovis were easy to do online. https://www.freeze.equifax.com/Freeze/jsp/SFF_PersonalIDInfo.jsp https://www.transunion.com/credit-freeze/place-credit-freeze https://www.innovis.com/securityFreeze/index https://www.experian.com/freeze/center.html RightClickSaveAs fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Sep 10, 2017 |

Be aware of that a credit freeze may interfere with your insurance company's underwriting. Like for your auto insurance.
