Got that right. Aside from us having unregulated rates here, which canâ(TM)t help, mining occurs where itâ(TM)s cold and with cheaper power. Hence, mining is done in some Scandinavian countries and Russia.
Especially ironic because âoeValley Girl (1983) actors and their ilk are now over 50. Thank the maker that Next Gen, Millennials, etc. have helped bring down the likes of fast fashionâ(TM)s soul and body crushing manufacturers who sold their trash to the likes of Forever 21 and others.
"The kid was criminally stupid in not reporting the vulnerability through the responsible disclosure contact"
Neither he, you nor I are under any such obligation and how he accessed the data was neither vulnerability nor crime.
"The kid was criminally stupid in archiving the data instead of working towards fixing the problem"
The problem is not his to "fix" and archiving the data is not a crime which could have been done by any number of spiders and bots incl The Wayback Machine.
Stop being an apologist for the criminally stupid authorities and their heavyhanded overreach
It sounds like many people knew of this vulnerability generally. Therefore, that IT group should have known it was an issue from the start. Sounds like this fellow is a collector like the poor sod who glommed the articles from JSTOR (prosecuted under Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 (CFAA) U.S. vs. Swarz.) He eventually committed suicide, I believe. JStor ended up releasing its archives to the public, and MIT (as much as corporately and humanly possible) did some heavy duty "soul-searching." see: https://www.theawl.com/2011/08/was-aaron-swartz-stealing/
Nuns never hit my hands with a ruler or other object during high school the 70s (the either had given up or the order was more progressive). Neither did my grade school public school teachers harm me in the 60s. But, my dad said his left-handed brother (b. 1927) had his left arm tied behind him to prevent him from writing with his sinister hand. That didn't work and only made him more stubborn. Tending to play ambidextrously (left-handed mits were hard to find so I threw right-handed), I batted left. Ironically, left-handed pitchers always threw me off when playing city league girls fast-pitch softball. But, had no problem hitting of right-handed pitchers.
What has to actually change to prevent these kind of out of proportion, justice and claims?
Human nature.
Of course, how could he forget--corporations are people, too.
Speaking as a woman who has designed and managed content for corporate and personal websites, it is not the pedantic bs, or the "nice things" snark that are the issue to making changes or additions to the Wikipendium as we do maintain WordPress, Blogger, Drupal, and Tumblr sites (and do compose their pages and sites from scratch or modify existing templates). No, you said it in your first sentence before sinking into the low-hanging fruit of female bashing, kidding, or whatever you call it. Simply put, the interface is a fucking nightmare even to make a simple change or addition. And if you must, it's FUGLY too.
Generally an outlier, the media describes Rasmussen as conservative. And that's on a good day. Who else has polled how ebooks are perceived and used by the general public? Just it jive with this organization's?
Type louder, please.
