More like, if you don't put locks on your doors, maybe no one should insure you and maybe the cops shouldn't waste their time when you couldn't be bothered to even take symbolic action to protect yourself.
- Spivak 10y agoHow dare you! I put a note on the door that says that all unauthorized persons are forbidden from entering the house.
- meowface 10y agoThis analogy fails when you consider the complexities in securing a sprawling IT architecture for a massive corporation compared to putting a lock on a door. Companies like Yahoo did try to secure themselves. They were just really bad at it.
