Commodities have prices set by supply and demand. We know how much a publicly traded company makes due to quarterly reports, this has no effect on its price buying a barrel of oil. Nor did my income play a role in buying my house. What I ma

If it was so important, why the casual nature of infosec here then? Email is not secure. The real reason here is the Clinton/Goldman leaks and everyone knows it.

"Working", I'm in and out of offices all day. The amount of dead time spent in those places is insane. This is why I need to start my own business, sitting at a desk pretending to work helps no one and yet is the only way to

If you had the ability to quickly get the plaintext from a hash, dont you have the greatest compression algorithm on earth? Just hash that 10 gig file, send the hash, and have the other machine "break" it. Collisions notwithstandi

We also have higher costs of living when you factor in healthcare costs and lack of public transportation. A healthy 20 year old can pay $300 a month for insurance that covers nothing until you hit 10k in expenses.

I work in IT, exactly 0 of my users could pull off a Windows install and if they could they could they also probably would be able to install Centos or Ubuntu. Both have wizards that make it just as easy as Windows.

If that is true, and your end goal is truly safety, why doesn't the FDA and DEA advocate for the criminalization of those drugs as well? I have been told that the argument is that prohibition caused violence and crime, but so does the

In medicine, you have to show a drug is more effective (or as effective) and is as safe as existing drugs for a purpose in order to get FDA approval. Why not take a similar stance on drugs for recreational purposes? If it is as safe or safe

The laws on fraud seem drasticly more punitive when you aren't the CEO of Wells Fargo or Mylan.

You get what you pay for. Qualified, hard working people demand a living wage. If you can't pay that you get whatever is left over after every other employer takes his pick.

I worked in kitchens for 10 years. It's not that the task of making anything is all that difficult. It's that it takes practice to do able to bake 120 loaves of bread the same way, every night, getting it right the first time.

I agree, but I know the reason I won't pay $8 for a croissant. Because my local grocery store does a good one for $2. Hell, I can get 6 decent ones from Wallmart for less than 5 dollars. Food is a volume game. Perhaps with automation w

>But a speech from 2013 when she was openly promoting it doesn't exactly tell too much. What about emails from last year? Consider that with the 'private position' and 'pubic position' comment and you are a fool

>Scandal? Come on, that's not a scandal, that a policy position. That is pretty clearly an endorsement for TPP (other leaks make this connection more obvious[0]). Hillary says she is not in favor of it, this seems to directly contra

This was leaked. She was asked at the beginning of her campaign to release the transcripts of these speeches, she said "I'll look into it"[0]. If it was intended to be public this sure is a hell of a way to go about making it

I think it has to do the carried interest and the anti TPP comments he has made more than anything.

This is extremely obvious if you are non-partisan. Right now, there are huge issues about Clinton just released by wikileaks[0] she said that she has a "public position" and a "private position" to placate a room full of

I grew up poor. I still am really. This is entirely true. Now that is not to say that it is entirely their fault, if your parents are two minimum wage, alcoholic, chain smokers who had kids at 16 what example do you have to emulate? I think

I believe that the government makes deals with landlords to rent below market rate (in exchange for an endless supply of tenants). To give someone market rate to go out and rent a place would likely cost more.

SQL server != Windows Server That also appears to only cover web servers that do not have any login capability. Why on earth would you spend that kind of money to host a static site?

If you are taking about data center, that's 50k. Cheaper, but I doubt it add's 50k of value over the alternatives for most users.

At the place I work SQL with CALS and software assurance runs 300k. In a free market, I expect that soon people will build solutions on open source alternatives and undercut the competition dramatically.
