Then Mark Zuckerberg and Larry Page are responsible for a lot of things...
But as long as they come and cry on stage about how we should trust them and help them make the world more "open and connected" I guess it makes it okay.
If the NSA, Sony and the Director of the CIA can't protect their data, how am I supposed to realistically ensure less educated\tech savvy family members, customers, employees protect theirs?
Even if everything leaks, and there is a story everyday of the week for anyone paying attention, things have become too big to fail.
It's like the Steve Carell character says at the end of the 'Big Short' -
"There's going to be a bailout. They knew the taxpayers would bail them out. They just didn't care. And in a few years we'll go back to what we were always doing...blame the immigrants and poor people"
- geocar 11y agoI think this attitude is a big part of the problem: Bugs aren't inevitable, not everything leaks, software doesn't have to be slow and bloating, and how were we supposed to know shouldn't be a defence. I'm not happy about the status quo, and I'm becoming increasingly convinced that combining criticism and humility is the only way out.
