Comment Re:Zero day already in the wild? (Score 4, Informative) 72

The summary says: "Microsoft also addressed three zero-day flaws, including two that are already being exploited in the wild. "

(scratches head) How can a flaw be called zero-day and already be exploited in the wild?

Because a zero-day is any flaw made public before the developer knows about it. One of the main ways this happens is by noticing that hackers are breaking into systems using a heretofore unknown exploit.

I could argue that there's a shortage of houses because nobody will build me one for $5K. I wouldn't be wrong, but the trick to not being wrong is the $5K caveat, and that's the issue with all these labor shortage proclamations. Labor shortage always means there's "nobody willing to do this job for what I want to pay", not a blank "nobody is willing to do this job". I guarantee you, without a shadow of a doubt, if cleaning restrooms paid $750K a year, there would be an endless pool of labor for restroom cleaners.

They've already dealt with this. If you read the fine print on these agreements, many or most of the recent ones say that the company has the option of rolling up any "substantially similar" arbitration cases into a single mass arbitration. (Which as usual, is decided by a person whose paycheck ultimately depends on the business of that same company.)

anti-DEI police of the current Administration

That DEI enforcement group seems to be asleep on the job. The current administration has appointed numerous women* to important positions.

*Biological women, that is. Sorry about the rest of you guys. I guess you are going to have to do a better job tucking.

Are you sure about that "biological" thing? Most of them look like Stepford Wives.

The purpose of a factory is not to provide jobs.

It's intended to made widgets that can then be sold at a profit.

It's not a social welfare program.

The way things are headed, the only way people are going to be able to obtain money to pay for those widgets is via social welfare programs.
