Considering this is going on for several hours now, their SLA is down to at least 99.9 and going down by the hour. Their business SLA is 99.95% (though I have no idea what it refers to), so it's quite possible that they are in breach.

Mmm... when you step down to get someone more suited for the new path a company is going to take, you have someone lined up to replace you - to ease transition and alleviate concerns. You don't put an interim CEO from HR and finance wh

The telecom company has identifying information about you that hackers are unlikely to be able to fake - such as an home address to where they send your new sim card, or physical locations where it's much harder to work these kind of s

Lots of comments here detail how many people lose their phones and never kept recovery codes or lost some of their recovery codes. 2FA sms don't have that problem. If you lose your phone, you can usually get a sim card with the same ph

I would imagine you would use it when a human is unable to enforce a contract - for instance when there is no other party who is capable of enforcing it or who the parties agree should enforce it (because it would be too costly or for lack

Are these remotely activated systems that are at risk (like drones)? if not, why is any weapon system that doesn't need remote activation actually plugged into a public network?

Actually I would argue that a marketplace is not part of the "means of production", at least not in any sense that Marx meant. In a similar way that if a blacksmith (or a farmer) made something and went to the market square to sel
