I am having a hard time believing that an attacker maintained long term access to their system and never used it. It seems more likely that we do not KNOW how the access was used.

Absurd. Unrealistic. Does everyone have the same earnings potential risk regardless of their skill? Same with stealing potential. Edit: on the flip side, white collar crimes leave a paper trail that traditional smash and grab crimes do not,

I really cannot tell if this is sarcasm (seems not?) or trolling (sounds like it). How are we reminding China that the US is a big dog? By imposing tariffs? By demonstrating our ability to do work domestically that they believe us unwilling

The leadership’s net worth is going up based on their compensation plan including stock options, regardless. If you are more explicit about your assumptions it might be easier to believe or refute the argument.

Can you make this argument more rigorous? I’m just not following the connections here. It seems like your assumption is that a stock buyback is a short term gain. One of your arguments is that the strike price for options is set based on a

Replacing the control board is going to cost $400. That’s most of the price of the device. Requiring a control board swap to lose the “smarts” / lockdown isn’t really a good enough option. I suppose the emergence of the GNU Washing Mac

More to the point, FAS regulations would absolutely forbid any such event. They probably mandate testing of the updates before returning to airplane to service. Completely unlike the safety standards for cars.

And the longer you wait, the worse it will be. Also, update your resume and get some applications out so you’re not just a victim.

The main reason you might not know if it is a human or not is that the human interactions are so bad (eg help desk call, internet provider, any utility, even the doctor’s office front line non-medical staff).

Mirrors let you see the overtaking traffic with far more time to plan. Audio cues are less and less useful as electric vehicles become more popular. (I am a city biker and there are plenty already.)

The story is crazy, but it’s real and that’s important. It was good to read the second to last paragraph, the one with the discovery that switching off sharing improved trust. I hope your relationship continues to improve.

In the US a recent change was made in the other direction. Credit card surcharges are much more common now. I believe it was part of an agreement with the card companies over anti-competitive behavior.

Sorry, all that stuff might be true but this whole process is nuts. The code segment containing that code looks like a no-op. The rest of the post seems sane and well informed, so my theory is that this is a C / packet filtering idiom

The idea they are being “preyed on” seems absurd to me. They control the odds they offer. Unless you’re controlling the outcomes of the matches (e.g., by collusion) I don’t see it.
