How about introducing the following law: If an employee is aware of a breach in their company systems and they use the said breach to enrich themselves - they are protected by law against all prosecution related to the said malicious action.

Perfect, you don't want someone to mistype the code when they have to send the commies to GlowLand.

Maybe this will force them to start spending their money and enjoy life?

If they don´t - someone else will take their stash and have fun with it.

Win-win.

How about we separate the phone network from the Internet. I see no reason why VoIP should exist to be honest.

Good, serious measures should be taken against these Internet cesspools.

Isn't this Would you feel differently argument goes both ways? Would you feel differently if you killed someone and the police found you only thanks to such dubious from privacy standpoint practice.

Make internet more expensive therefore limiting its impact among the stupidest members of society - the working class.

Coding jobs in Appalachia...wow I've heard it all.

The people living in these places are still semi-barbaric, they need a long civilizing process before they can cut it in the modern world, 2 months long boot-camps is definitely not going to do this. It's a process that should start from childbirth.

It's a sad story that the East German Stasi and Communist party thugs avoided any type of punishment for their actions.

They should've been arrested, tortured, crippled, blinded and thrown on the streets to beg so the people that suffered their action can spit on them at will.

And what will happen if they do a bad work at this? Someone is going to die? No. Someones useless iPhone app will collapse on them? No.

If you cannot detect a poor performer does it matter if they are a poor performer.

I never understood why the hiring process in IT is so tedious compared to let's say...construction work or driving?

Can you imagine that if on hiring a new truck driver the company was passing him trough 50 different routes on snow, ice and wet road. Or forcing a construction worker to build a house or something.

Yet if one of these two professions fucks it up - people might die, if a coder fucks up - he'll be fired and someone will remove 10 lines of code boo hooo.

This is really irresponsible thing to do.

The financial data of an individual should be protected the same way the health data is.

If this means more fraud/scam/conmen so be it.

USA is a civilized society, until the court sentences you - you are innocent.

I always found the grueling training regimes a race to the bottom.

Yes, the first one that introduces it has an edge and crushes everything for 3-4 years but then everyone else starts doing the same training so back to square one...with the difference that now you cannot head down to the bar every now and then as everyone and their grandmothers are working out and going to sleep at 10PM to have a chance winning a game.

I believe that the sportspeople should have gentlemen's agreements on the amount of training to put themselves through.

Good, they should push this to all old account retroactively as well.

Can't the local governments use the homeless population to track such AirBnBs - the homeless will have a place to stay, will earn money(like 20% from the fine given to the landlord) and help detect an prove foul play.

These are public companies, therefore they have to drive up their stock price by any means necessary.

Wasn't this the way the Guilds were operating in the Medieval era?

Break-it-up

I wonder how many of the ZeroHedge fans missed the greatest stock rally of all time and are stuck with gold bars under their floor...bought at 2500USD an ounce from a website peddled by Glenn Beck. Just thinking about this I'm getting a smile on my face.

Microsoft should push a Windows Update that won't allow you to install/run Chrome on WindowsOS

I hope it won't be around to see it's 40th Anniversary...

How about going after all these companies...and to make it simple - start alphabetically.

Recessions are usually triggered by market sentiment...unless a volcano explodes and blocks off the Sun or something like that.

If my child takes the money that I left on the desk, goes to the shop, buys candies and eats them...can I go to the bank and ask them to give back my crisp bills? Or maybe go to the candy store and whine there?

Well, I never shop from Amazon, I'd rather use a specialized online shops or online storefronts of the company directly(ie TM Lewin for shirts)...

Main reason is that I'm not used to Amazons' shopping experience and it's huge selection of items, once I tried buying a travel trolley and felt overwhelmed by the huge choice, so I went to the shop and bought one in person after inspecting it visually.

You do understand that the only reason why trademarks exist is the Government?

Isn't the check barcode -> put on the tray -> check new barcode again a way to stop double checking the same item, if someone is too clumsy?
