This is absolutely mental, they need to be strung up for doing this lest other people try the same poo poo. It is absolutely totally unreasonable to expect anyone outside of IT people (and even most IT people) to understand the implications of importing a root certificate onto a device.

Yeah I think this is a good point to make. Everyone in this thread understands what FB is doing.

The vast overwhelming 99.999(9?)% of people affected by this/facebook do not understand whats even happening.

I think this is especially egregious considering their attitude in the San Bernardino case. You can argue about whether or not they did the right thing there, but making a stand against US government agencies there, and then just handing over keys to the Chinese government without even blinking tells you all you need to know about Apple.

The San Bernardino thing was a PR stunt

One of the really cool things about twitter and every other social media site is that everyone outsources their human moderation judgement to the philippines which is a country that elected duterte.


I unironically think thats one of the causes of the rise of the alt right.

almost any rural area would love an influx of jobs. however this would require a rural area in america, any single one of them, to have good & cheap internet :shobon:

Lol remember that time some japanese automotive manufacture changed their mind about building a factory in alabama and instead went to ontario because they didn't want a sickly workforce that had no social support systems in place.

at least american english was mostly spared from the extraneous 'u' (colour, behaviour, etc...) and the weird er/re thing. the british spelling of 'centre' looks like it should be pronounced like 'sentry'


english is still the only language where the disconnect between spelling and pronunciation is big enough that spelling contests are a thing

you have to feel bad for the kids subjected to that torture, because any 11 year old who knows what the word 'cymotrichous' means as well as how to spell it probably has crazy, overbearing parents and no life

The french are way more hosed up when it comes to the written language being absolutely nothing like the spoken form.

In fact its the french's fault that English is bad too.

For instance, you might start by making a segment for all your database servers. You allow all the *SQL ports through to it from your app servers. however, someone wants to install a mongodb server. Now, do you update the policy to also permit the mongo ports, potentially creating attack vectors to all of the other servers in the segment?

I wrote our last (present but rapidly going away) deployment system with ansible and I absolutely hate it.

I'm probably an idiot for generating ansible manifests with an ERB template, but the Ansible part still sucks.

Now I'm being extremely 2019 and just doing everything in Kubernetes

The false invoice scam is not new. When fax machines first came out people were faxing false invoices and demands for payment. Even better is half the time local cops say it is a civil matter and won’t get involved. You don’t even need
technology I am sure as soon as letter post became a thing false invoices were being sent around.

There are ancient Mesopotamian clay tablets complaining about copper sellers or something billing for shipments that didn't exist.

Lol if you even make eye contact with or talk to random people in the street in NYC. Assume everyone is a crazy person or scam artist until proven otherwise.
