Same as when a drunk falls onto subway tracks: it's capitalist society's fault.

Why were you considering buying a Dell in the first place?

He may not have been aware that the keys were compromised until they were misused. It's not like the keys are a physical object where a person can notice that they've been taken. Most of the people who are performing targeted attacks to gain this kind of access don't go around doing stupid things to alert someone that their machine has been compromised. I even recall an article from a few years ago where it was discovered that a malware program was also acting as an anti-virus to keep other things from infecting the machines and tipping off the users. This isn't the 90's or early 00's where people would immediately deface a website or pull some other crude prank upon gaining access.

The point is if you want to know the real risk, you already do; if insurance quotes are sky high, the reason is because they have to be for the underwriting to make sense. So if you know are looking at the property as an investment; maybe its going to be an airb&b that you will fill with cheap wallmart furniture and junk-art you don't care about. Then you ask if the numbers make sense.

If your kids are going to sleep there every night, and you are going to store the family heirlooms you maybe move on...

All I am saying is you already have the information. You don't need a scare-number, especially one that is ASSUREDLY not as well researched and considered as the causality companies underwriting is. Trust the insurance quotes - its the most accurate story you will get.

The flip side is the data was double reported.

Realistically most home owners are pushing the risk off onto a mixture of private insurance (in terms of loss coverage) and federal/state/local in terms mitigation and flood insurance, doing things upgrading the city sewer to handle more storm water or enhance flood walls.

The cost of getting someone else to take on these risks shows up in the price of insurance and local taxes / levies.

These are published, or mostly otherwise discover-able. As a buy/investor those are numbers worth looking at, they are the ones that matter (or if you cant get insurance - tells you something too). You won't be getting mortgage either in that instance. There is zero value in some big scary climate risk number also being disclosed, because A that risk accounted for if you are studying the details anyway and does not help you make a rational decision, because it literally does not affect you beyond the places where it is already baked into the numbers.

... as some well meaning albeit flawed tech hero. He's not.

He's just another corporate sociopath - the only thing that matters to him is money and power. He'll only help out when its suits his purposes such as for Good PR , but like a lot of bullies he's also a coward to so won't put up when he really needs to such as in blocking starlink inside parts of russia.

The guys who make the most noise are usually the ones with the smallest balls.

I appreciate your ideas, but this will never work. Executives (and every other sane person at the company) will always be more interested in their own success than in the company's success.

Unless there's CCTV watching every charging point how would they prove it? You think the police have time to DNA sample every tack and force every adult in the local area to give a sample?

Idiot.

Read through the comments in that telegram post, the amount of denial is staggering, the amount of cheerful propaganda is even greater, but there were some worried notes gleaming through all that cheerleading, where someone hoped they would still have a job later on. Someone thinks that the things may not turn out so well, they think that out of all of the options they may end up with the option I listed as number one here https://slashdot.org/comments....

what I can tell you from the very tone of this cheerful post, they do not have all of the necessary components and it will not be simple at all. Obviously they will try to launch Proton in December as scheduled by trying to do it without the service cabin, there is maybe a way, a bunch of wooden planks and ropes, who knows. The number of ways this may end up disasterous for the launch are too many to be listed here.

competing with spaceX is tough indeed, how exactly would you propose the Chinese bill uncle Sam for billions, consistently launching empty oversized buckets that burn up while delivering a banana to the Indian ocean?

"Society" isn't a monolith. Choosing to dwell on the bad to the exclusion of good is just that, a choice.

Plenty of clear-eyed, clear-headed yet well-adjusted individuals have survived and found some measure of happiness, if not prosperity, under Communism, serfdom, and everything before and since. "The injustice of it all" is demonstrably *not* too much for people who are capable of compartmentalizing.

No, I'm not. Don't be a sperg.

No, it isn't. 12oz 4pk@$10.99 = $2.75

No, it isn't. ~56,500 12oz in a 80k lbs trailer, max.

Wrong "value." Retailers don't pay retail, obviously.

Yeah. Better lock it down so it only allows posting on slashdot.

How should the CEO have addressed that problem?
