Their revenue mattered a lot more than their COGS. At least in this case.

People who buy $1.5m condos in cash usually don't care that much about rate of return. Or are you implying borrowing $1.5m at mortgage rates and investing that? Not happening.

No Fun League: Why all the celebration bans? Come on. It's ridiculous. Is it a catch? This seems to change every week. No more hits: It's good for players' health, but maybe the players should change their style of play and n

Playstation Vue is really the best choice. The price is right and there's apps for everything now (except AppleTV but lol that's always been a hobby). Even gets NFL Red Zone, and you can use your Vue login on all the networks'

Dropping NFL audiences have more to with the subpar product the NFL is producing these days, than it has to do with national anthem protests. The league is shooting itself in the foot via mismanagement.

I fail to see how a bank is providing a service to me, when they're the ones liable for fraudulent charges (credit card). Fraud systems are there for the bank, not for you. Don't ever think otherwise.

Heaven forbid some trader (probably under management direction) have a bad quarter and threaten the partners' profit payouts. I guess you don't have to worry about morale in a place like GS, where 5% of the workforce is laid off e

A lot of the passwords can't be changed. They're fixed from the factory. That's one of the really difficult things about dealing with this. I bet that a greyhat will find a way to brick a lot of these cameras.

I wouldn't trust this device as a phone, especially not as a smartphone. You couldn't pay me to associate it with a trusted wifi network, put my SIM in there, or actually use an app.

Indeed. Vegas is about as sanitary and clean as it gets. There's almost no sleaze left. Fremont at night can get sketchy, but only in the sense of desperate poor people. But I guess that's how good they are at selling the myth of

Route 53 aint all that. We approached them about handling our customer's domains, and they said no way. They didn't have the capacity. Granted, this was 2 years ago, but Dyn has a much better reputation (still) than Route 53.

I'm just happy to see that kids these days still say "greetz" in their github/BBS posts these days. Or maybe this is a greybeard hacker?

How do you know if any employee passwords were stolen? How do you know it wasn't just a basic application exploit? How do you know Weebly doesn't do the things you mentioned? Fact is, you don't and that post was just an ad fo

It's not worth much at today's going rates (maybe a few hundred bucks). The hacker probably could have made more money through a bug bounty program.

You block volumetric attacks by filtering the payload, not by blocking IP's. If you block by IP, you're going to have a lot of upset customers. Also, what are you going to do on an IPv6 attack? Block the entire /64? Unlikely.

Large bandwidth attacks might look sexy, but they're trivially easy to block. Network operators care about pushing packets, not bits. The OVH attacks look huge to the average AWS user, (ZOMG a terabit!) but to even an average tier 2 tr
