That isn’t true. The Swiss are not hurting much atm, keeping ones currency strong means imports are cheaper even if exports are more dear, which is useful if you import a lot.
It does seem like bitcoin now goes up when Trump spooks the market (the traditional financial markets). Is it pro-traders thinking at least they'll make that day's profits that way?
I have considered this. While many people worship regulations, I'm willing to take the "risk" of using foreign medication.
I wish I could take the same risk when I get hydrocortisone, but instead I need to pay a physician for a prescription, a pharmacist to fill, and the clinic that stores everything.
Lots of middlemen for something that should be sold on Amazon.
In the meantime, the market is up 20% since January and PE ratios for the largest companies are still reasonable. Uber’s success or failure has no bearing on the broader health of the market.
Oh come on, do you think these companies are doing everything to protect our data? Why the hell is our credit card applications hosted online anywhere after they've been processed anyway? And for 14 years?
No mate, making it doubly illegal (such as actually fining and imprisoning the negligence in leadership that chooses forgiveness over permission) would undoubtedly help. There are plenty of ways to keep our data secure and they didn't do enough.
They probably have approved vendors for their data and SOPs in their DCA and it had information on how to configure it for the cloud and there are signatures and so on. But, it’s unclear whether they took into account rouge internal threats.
Be this on S3 or on your private assets, without proper controls for internal threats these things have a likelihood to happen.
After 14 days it should be encrypted independent of any AWS encryption as someone mentioned in the other Capital One thread and the key should not be stored on a S3 container or some obvious service that can be easily compromised.
Keeping all your eggs in one basket (the cloud) is never a good idea. If you have to do it try and give yourself as much control over sensitive data via encryption of no longer to be accessed data.
More practical would be the removal of the Board of Directors and the CEO of the corporation, with the forfeiture of any unpaid future compensation and the ineligibility to serve as a director or officer of any other corporation. They are responsible for setting the policies and providing the resources to secure the corporation's data, and they have failed.
This line of thinking doesn't work. I want to agree with you, but I can't. An executive could do all the right things by promoting and pushing for security in their organisation and still be hacked. Should he/she face jail now?
The OP called out "negligence," which would leave some wiggle room for the executive in your scenario. Promoting and spending directly on security would be proof that you're at least making a conscientious effort.
Problem is, executives don't understand those things. Of course it's very simple to point a finger at them, but they rarely are tech savvy, and they are there to run the company, not micromanage every decision every department makes.
Hiring people that don't know what they're doing isn't a reasonable excuse, such as Susan Mauldin, the ex-CSO of Equifax with a bachelor in music and no technical or security related education/training
I'm fine for a judge and jury to decide what is and isn't actually criminal conduct and whether the EO was negligent in protecting customer data. It needs to be explicitly illegal first, though.
Bethesda Softworks (the publisher) has been rather lawyer happy over the past few years. They went after Mojang over the word Scrolls.
Bethesda Game Studios (the developer) isn't much better. As if poor writing and re-using a rotten engine isn't bad enough, they've routinely dabbled in paid mods.
It is a real shame because I played the hell out of Skyrim, Oblivion and Doom 2016 (one of the best games to come out in the last 5 years) and own several copies of each.
I actively avoided almost everything from them since and I am just hoping they don't ruin Doom Eternal with the nonsense, Id is developing it and soo far they haven't been affected by much of the usual Bethesda bullshit.
It should probably be noted that Bethesda Softworks is owned by Zenimax. Though Zenimax was founded by the founders of Bethesda. Zenimaxes board concist of a Lawyer, a former baseball player, a real estate manager and a movie producer.
They have again and again made poor choices when it comes to drm, but they have removed Denvou from both Doom and Rage 2 some time after release.
Now you have me wondering about the "former baseball player joins the corporate world and feels lost in it" subplot of Prey 2017 (published by Bethesda.)
> A public blockchain is a mere write only database
Precisely. It does nothing to address who can write to it. Ideally, it should be people who are eligible to vote (citizens of the country that are over 18 years old). That's a difficult problem to solve even with paper ballots (especially in a country that doesn't have national IDs), and pretty much impossible to solve with any sort of a digital solution.
> ...that everyone can see.
...or nobody can, as you'd see by reading the article that was submitted.
> Every transaction is available to 7 billion people.
7 billion people can see how to vote as well. You're not asking 7 billion people to vote, but a small subset of 7 billion people.
This does not follow the typical programming "cookbook" structure, but it is a real thing in naming books. Like a conventional cookbook, a programming one has lots of examples and "recipes" for how to solve common problems, but doesn't necessarily provide the knowledge to be able to recognize or understand those problems.
Like how almost no recipe book would tell you that it's customary to serve cake on birthdays or that you should be careful of the high sugar, or various cake alternatives, you would just find a section for cakes and it assumes you're making the correct choice in searching for a cake recipe.
For example I own a cookbook on NLTK and flipping to a random page I got "How to remove insignificant words from a sentence"
Who are the losers when a government prints money?
