The story literally quotes the general of the NSA, saying they go though the FBI to get a FISA court order to compel the company.. Additionally, the story quoted talks about how the UK obtained the data and gave it to the NSA. Nowhere is th

No that would make 0 sense. The NSA doesn't "attack" american companies with covert implants. They get FISA court orders that force american companies to attach their equipment.

This is the irony, that in your scenario (which I agree with), My "check" would be to purchase Turbotax or similar and run the numbers. So whether the IRS pre-fills the 1040 or I do it myself, I'm going to use tax prep softwa

The article goes into this, but I suppose the short answer is today - No. There are various future proposals that will tackle this (enumerated in article).

No, but I'm going to guess right around the 17M, I guess it depends on how much the founders owned and whether they "cashed out" or just made their shares go poof.

I took this to mean that glassblowers should be paid more, especially the best ones in the world. If it was known 10+ years ago that Caltechs glassblower made 300-500k a year, you can bet they wouldn't be in this situation now. The mil

That's the one big problem with this piece of advice. This style of interview (ahem audition) will NOT work when applying for your 1st, 2nd or even 3rd jobs. McDonalds and even Facebook need a lot of worker bees. They need very few P

CrowdStrike is filled with former Govt employees (FBI, NSA). So you get all of the training and techniques of top FBI / NSA hackers without all of the pesky "rules" associated with using them.

Yep and unless you spend hours researching the sellers, 100% of those NiMH batteries and servo motors will be absolute crap. The batteries will have fake UL logos, fake Samsung or whomever logos, etc. etc. At this point, I would rather orde

Their current business model is (was?) to price everything in the store 5-20% higher than elsewhere, but then offer coupons, sales, etc. to offset that. When our daughter was born we price compared them for a lot of big ticket items, but ul

If the same or similar item is available on Target.com, I now buy it there. I trust Target's supply chain about 100x more than Amazon and I'm willing to pay extra for that assurance.

Why are you looking for jobs if you are too busy to spend 90 minutes of effort on applying for that job? Maybe the whole point of the test is not how well you do, but how you react to being asked to do something you feel is beneath you...

It really does seem like Health Insurance is heading in a backwards direction. They cover the small, predictable costs (annual checkups, routine blood tests, etc), but continue to find ways to pay less of the "major" events. Imagi

I don't think there needs to be much "reporting". Intel has a rule where c-suite and up execs who have been at the company 5+ years must hold a minimum amount of stock. For the CEO, that number is 250,000. The CEO recently ex

As a consumer/customer I have no way of knowing. So as far as I am concerned all products Fulfilled by Amazon are co-mingled inventory, possibly items directly sold by Amazon as well (I don't think they have commented on this).

Amazon also co-mingles inventory. If we both have the same exact product to sell it gets put into the same physical warehouse space. Then when it's sold, they just grab a random one out of that space. So its possible that you can "
