Comment DMARC does not do what they think it does. (Score 1) 77

Simply put, DMARC tells a recipient what your desired action is in the event a message fails either SPF or DKIM checks. It also does some checks on the Header and author FROM fields to see if they match.

It is up to the receiving server to do one thing or another with its received emails. If you had SPF and DKIM setup and working, its hardly a big deal to not have DMARC done correctly. But if you do not have SPF or DKIM working. DMARC will not save you at all.

Comment Re:What about agriculture subsidies? (Score 3, Insightful) 481

Perhaps we shouldn't be subsidizing state initiatives paid by state income taxes by forfeiting federal dollars?

If you live in a state that has a high income tax because the state government thinks things like 'We'll build our own fucking rockets to launch satillites'

Why should your burden of federal support be passed onto everyone else who does not live in that state? It is, after all, only fair since you choose to live in that state.

If that makes states with high tax rates unappealing...well...there ya go.

Comment What needs to happen... (Score 4, Interesting) 142

...Is congress needs to pass legislation that gives a process to people that allows them to collect damages from lenders that lend to criminals. Such a process needs to burden the lender with proving a debtor owes this money, and that it was actually they who requested such a loan. If they cannot, then if they attempt to collect on such a debit, they can be liable for damages. Probably not a large sum, possibly just a (small) percentage of the loan they gave away to the crook. Of course more aggravated attempts might warrant larger sums. Much such a process require that the fiscal institution cannot collect and store. So that each application must be independently vetted, each time.

Some side effects: More stringent identification taken to link documents to people. Loan processes taking much longer, and people who cannot vet themselves to an institutions satisfaction not receiving loans. An entire new system or vendors and providers revolving around bio metric verification. Also, higher loan rates because they will pass these costs onto the consumer. Less loans in total.

Comment Re:Don't worry, regulation will end that nonsense (Score 1) 246

Smaller Governments are more responsive. Because your leadership eats and lives in the same community as everyone else. Because it is easier to rally the community around a specific idea. And because it allows communities to have different values. If one is socially conservative, you can simply move somewhere they are not. It is also harder for companies to interact with the multitude of smaller governments because of the sheer numbers.

Ass opposed to regulatory capture, which has, and is currently happening today. That uses the force of the federal government to met out rules and regulations from one point.
