...are what's needed.

The mitigations available for consumers - credit monitoring, credit alerts & freezes - only protect credit ratings, not other aspects of identity theft, so it's time to make executives criminally liable for breaches over a certain size & impact that are shown to be due to negligence (i.e. anything that wasn't a zero day). The message should be clear: if you can't maintain a standard of security for personal data, don't get into the business.

Hezbollah is not a country. It's a parasite infesting Lebanon. Russia and Ukraine is not a "normal war", whatever that means. Are you going to say anything correct?

The data there only goes to 2019 and only includes homicide victims, that is, no accidental deaths, suicides or nonfatal casualties. Nonetheless the # of firearm homicide victims is almost 7x those murdered by blade, and accounts for almost 74% of total homicide victims in 2019.

As a warning to other, their proverbial heads should be put on proverbial spikes. The company should be dismantled. The investors should lose their money. The employees should lose their jobs. Company officers should be fined and put on trial on penalty of imprisonment. And everyone who purchased or received this data and didn't delete it should be sued for damages and forced to delete it.

Instead of posting your reactionary "did they think of [this]?" "but how do they explain [that]?" "it could all just be [BS]!" usual fluff, how about reading the paper and offering a critical response directly to the points made? Since you're an expert in the details and methods, this could serve as added peer review.

Do they allow foreign prepaid SIMs on their network(s)?

Poor analogy.

Is this neighborhood child launching rockets and bombs at your family? Do those rockets and bombs kill people and destroy your house if they hit it? Are your own kids forced to run to bomb shelters in the middle of the night, every night, as sirens blare because of what this child is doing? Is the peace and safety of your family under the thumb of this unrestrained child? How long are you willing to take it on the chin, how long are you willing to have your own kids live under threat as they grow, just to avoid harming this child?

Now let's look at America, where the cops show up to put down a kid with a toy guy in the front yard...

It's high time to get rid of the DHS. It's creation was a reactionary and ill-conceived measure that never really enhanced security and instead serves as a magnet for dystopian policymaking, wasteful spending and corrupt people putting on their Very Serious Faces because there ain't nuthin' more important than Security dontcha know. It doesn't exist because citizens' security is important but because America is a full on security state.

Is the Nobel committee handing out participation trophies? Pushing the button on a minor Rube Goldberg trick shot that someone else set up for you isn't an "unprecedented achievement" in any sense other than one laden with sarcasm. Maybe you can describe what Trump's accomplishment was here exactly since you seem to have a unique grasp of it?

No, these are not amazing achievements. Israel and the UAE (and Bahrain) have been building up back-channel relations and unofficial diplomatic and economic ties for DECADES, and these relations were going more and more above ground in the last 15 years (minus the Mossad snafu in '10). These countries could've sealed the deal independently of the US except they knew Trump was such a vainglorious sucker, they figured they could get extra US-funded perks out of the whole thing by dangling very low-hanging fruit in front of him so he could feel good being included, claim some "achievement" for having Kushner witness a few signatures and, consequently, reward the involved parties with weapons & trade deals, investments, etc. This isn't a criticism of the cynical machinery at work per se -- standard geopolitical quid pro quo really -- just of the overblown fawning that spurted as a result. The Nobel peace prize -- meant to reward diplomats, fighters and pacifists alike who've seen their way through a labyrinth of violence and injustice to bring some thawing inner light or modicum of peace to warring parties or to humanity in general -- should not be diluted by rewarding cynical geopolitical SOP, and esp. not reward lazy 3rd-party glory hounds who bumbled their way into the room where it happened.

Correction: she is saying she's the inventor of the underlying tech, not the co-inventor. Her comments can quickly be found using https://hadzy.com/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?... Somehow the creator of this was legally threatened (details weren't specified) and told to remove the video, adding to the air of mystery. There are several comments posted there by one "Kristal McKinstry" who claims to be one of the co-inventors of the technology underlying the LRAD. Her comments are interesting.
