I found it so interesting to hear that finding victims was the top impediment to prosecution. The amount of pain and anguish these scammers inflict upon some of our most vulnerable citizens is almost unbearable to think about. I couldn’t h

It’s about time. Now if the FCC would get off it’s chair and implement a technical solution to mandate Caller verification... It’s incredible in a world were we’re all being forced to move to RealIDs so our every move can be tracked, that

Backup is on a separate network. The network is segregated to limit impact if they do get hacked. To keep everyone familiar, Data Recovery processes are practiced regularly. ...

Exactly. It’s possible they are screwed.

Seems like a pretty immediate solution for housing and rental shortages. I was just talking to a A developer who mentioned that it costs so much to build in LA&OC California that it only makes sense to target the high end/luxury s

"...AND SUFFERED A DEVASTATING DATA BREACH" Even the title fails to acknowledge that WE suffered from their breach. They took our most personal financial information without our permission, made money from it and completely failed

Reminds me of a story I read once about a woman who had finally gotten the purse she wanted. She was walking down the sidewalk an a woman coming the other way had an even more expensive purse which she turned toward her. The expensive purse

Yea, it's interesting how many comments are flat out wrong or can't seem to differentiate between what Google does now ...vs what might happen with Apple in the future.

This - we really need a law requiring companies post what the jobs pays. It would solve so many problems - including ones like this, gender discrimination, etc.

Hmm, hadn’t seen that (“many ...parents involved acted as if ... were things everyone else was doing...”). In the few stories I’ve seen, the parents have not committed. Sources?

Hmm, there’s a lot to take exception with in this comment. “Makes sense for publicly subsidized housing (which is what rent control is, in essence). In the US, rent control is when the government controls the amounts charged for rented hous

I know right? It’s amazing how many side channels it stacked up. I’ll admit there’s a lot of garbage and languages I don’t speak - that I should delete..

Cable is a stinking pile of sog stuff. 90% of the channels are garbage and the picture quality sucks. I recently put an old-fashioned $40 antenna in my attic. It pulls in 156 channels (I’m in OC, CA about 40mi from Mt Wilson and 80mi fro

So, it’s the existence of “slum lords” that causes the higher profit margins? Interesting. So, if you buy a home in an area with lots of slum lords, the you make more? Seems like there would be a lot of money pouring into slum lord areas.

I'm not a security expert, but even a layperson has to wonder if the NSA can actually be successful. Apparently, he thinks the "defend forward to disrupt or halt malicious cyber activity" strategy was effective for mid-terms.

Total clickbait. Most are neither windfalls, nor did they “change everything”. My mother recently passed away. I was just thinking I should find some stories about what others have done for inspiration. These are anything but inspirationa

I was at HP during the Platt, Fiorina and part of Hurd years. Prior to that experience I was as skeptical as anyone about CEO compensation, impact and contribution. How much difference can one person make? Well, clearly a huge difference.

Yeah, but because incandescent bulb filament's retains enough heat to continue to glow between peaks, their flickering is almost negligible - especially compared to poorly designed LED and CF bulbs.

Right? And why is everyone talking about how bad Google is when AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint are selling our freaking location?!? It's nuts! If it's easier to become a bounty hunter than a barber in Idaho, then almost

> It’s hard to untangle problems like this from supply and demand of housing. Well said. And the article makes a mess of it - discussing so many things without actually discussing the causes of homelessness - mental illness, lack of ski

It seems to have more to do with protecting the cookie sales that provide their livelihoods than it does with providing leadership growth for the girls. We have s friend who worked with GSA for a couple years and came away utterly disgusted

Wait, why is this a good question? I mean the OP said “it’s not that simple” which says he/she has a DEEPER understanding of loans that the previous post. The answer to the OPs question is obvious to someone who understands loans (“th

I live at the beach. It seems to me there’s a lot of trash on it. The trash is many different things. Each causes its own problems. There’s Shovels, balls, dod poop bags, Pizza boxes, carryout bags, trash bags, napkins, paper plates, cup

Just got back from Italy. We hadn't really noticed the noise levels while there, but when we got back and ate out, we were like "OMG, what happened?" It was almost impossible to have a conversation. And, it seems like all

In my experience, Best Buy’s return policy and process has been awful. Granted it’s been years because it was so bad. Literally the worst of any store I’ve ever shopped at. Last time I bought a router from them it was defective. I had to

“...it’s no big deal to comply with this huge law” Sorry but this comment has been driving me crazy. The GBDR about 100 pages? Obamacare is 20,000. This law may be a lot of things. It may have a huge impact. It may require companies to

I'm not disregarding the cost of compliance. In fact it's implicit in my argument. Some business models would no longer make sense. Others would look more attractive. It would increase the cost of, or completely do away with,

A strong law like the GPDR would actually shake things up - a lot. As it is, the large players like Facebook, google, Salesforce and a bunch of others like our banks, credit card companies, internet providers are all extremely well establis
