>So you are claiming Amazon data mines customers of AWS?!

Yes. Yes they do. And if you can't think of how you are the idiot with a complete lack of imagination.

Measurements of encrypted traffic between known data sources can give huge amount of information about the amount and type of business your competitor is doing. For example, the amount of routed traffic to IP addresses held by credit card processors. Significant fluctuations can give lots of info about the health of the company. Packets being routed to china or other foreign nations can leak information about vendors.

Amazon is a top notch analytics company, and they can gain huge amounts of inside from secondary and tertiary sources, like DNS queries. Putting that data on your competitor's network is not only stupid, it could possibly be criminal under some SEC regulation.

>Why is Croatian labor less valuable than English labor?

Why is New Mexico labor less valuable than Silicon Valley labor?

Why is New York City property more valuable than rural Nebraska property?

Why is sex.com worth more than q4wsraioangi43948sw4g.com?

Location, location, location. Each of the locations listed above is more valuable because it is a better location, be it a port city, a tech hub, or a easy typed name.

>t you'd rather blame some river hacking for literally submerging Louisiana

Yes, because in this case you don't know what you're talking about. Flordia is built on rock (limestone in fact), when it see rises it stays the same level. Louisiana is not. The LA flood plain, if we allowed the natural flow of the river would take far longer than all the other land around it to be submerged by sea level rise. You should learn how river deltas work, and the fact they naturally compress over time.

Did you forget about the 1997 flood already?

>>Most servers, in turn, authenticate the sender of outgoing mail.

They do no such thing. They authenticate the 'username' and 'password' of an account. The sender could be anyone with that persons username, almost anywhere in the world. The amount of account compromises and password breaches we see every year pretty much guarantee that anyone who wants a 'fake' email can get one.

>The worst thing my TV can do if hacked is stop working completely and forever.

Or turn into part of a botnet attacking other peoples websites. Maybe you're on a metered connection and you'll go over your bandwidth quota.

Oh, and maybe you have one of those smart TVs that responds to voice commands and can be turned into a listening device.

Maybe the firmware settings like to reset themselves on the TV every 6 months so it starts looking for the nearest open wireless to connect to.

Yea, if the showed where it took two days to download the movie, then it played really shitty quality for a few minutes before cutting over to goat porn before launching a virus that locked up your computer... People may have been a lot more interested in staying away from piracy.

Read those and you'll see why there is only a limited number of stories to be told. If you see 30 movies in your life they will all be pretty original. If you see 30 movies a year, the limited breadth of humanity will be apparent.

If you pay to go to a movie, especially if you pay a lot to go to it (expensive ticket, expensive concessions), you will view it as being better than one you viewed cheaply or free. This is true for almost any product with price discrimination. People that pay more for a product feel better about the product in general even if it is the same product as the lower price choices.

Take your whiny politics out of here anonymous scum. You go ahead and block CF first so we don't have to listen to you any longer.

>Why, so that they get a guilty plea and don't have to actually find, assess and present evidence?

That's not 'completely' true. The DA has to present the plea deal to a judge (in theory the same judge that you would have your trial in front of) and the judge tell the DA the plea is not accepted because of lack of evidence and that it must be brought to trial.

If I did this as an employee, I'd be fired on the spot.

>We'll be fine like we always have been.

Just like the dinosaurs were fine for 100 million years, until they wern't.

> Don't confuse racism with White Supremacy, or Christian Supremacy. There are many non-white racist out there

Hell, this election on national TV they would say "Donald Trump isn't racist, but only racists vote for Donald Trump", re-enforcing the problem.
