Regulators don't give a fuck. No one does. I've been getting robodialers to my cell phone endlessly. They all come out of blocks of phone numbers provided by one datacenter (they own blocks around the country). They won't do anything. The regulatory bodies in states the numbers call from won't do anything. FCC won't do anything. FTC won't do anything. I've contacted my state AG. I've contacted my senators and congressmen.

No one gives a flying shit about this kind of thing. It is infuriating.

Twitter is going to start curating your feed for you as well... http://phandroid.com/2014/09/04/twitter-facebook-style-filtered-feed/

Violence as a whole is drastically down the last two decades as a whole - so a meaningless correlation if there is one.

Yeah, no one could ever tamper with the mail.

While cumbersome, you'd login to your account, magically find the tab and you could generate a 1 time credit card number. You could set a one time balance, set a monthly balance for recurring charges, etc.

Fantastic for any online purchases you make. But, in reality - how many times are CC #'s getting stolen online vs in real life?

"can be" is the keyword there... Seeing how easily previous systems were compromised this doesn't have much promise behind it.

Parent means enterprise consulting "no one ever got fired for buying IBM"

Our SaaS is hosted on both AWS and Azure. It one goes down, the other picks up the slack. It is far from easy to configure, but you want real redundancy you need to do it.

Oh, you mean they store the password in plain text? That is the easiest give away there are poor security practices - password max lengths. Once hashed passwords all have the same length, so avoid those sites like the plague.

Sadly this is closer to reality

That Wolf Blitzer has at the moment. Between this and Ebola, CNN has the next few months of programming on a silver platter.

Amazing how the government freaked out over H1N1 years ago and simply nothing happened. Yet, a real virus is on the move and "everything is a-ok" is the word from everyone.

Yes yes, you only get it if you come in contact with feces, vomit, etc, but that perception is there now that it is in the US.

I do all native for my development. But, if you design your business and storage layers correctly, it is all but a few "find and replaces" to convert ObjC to Java. Then all you have to worry about is your UI. Apps that took months to sort out business logic have been ported (business layer) to the other platform in a day.

The Obama Admin has prosecuted more whistleblowers than all former administrations combined AFAIK. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/16/obama-whistleblower-prosecutions-press_n_3091137.html
