In a normal company, if an employee have bad practice for data protection and cyber security he might get fired

But what happen when it's a congressman?

We start to see now more and more data breaches that happens due to lack of basic knowledge in this subject....

Just 3 days ago was reveal that Equifax used 'admin' as username and password for sensitive data. ( https://finance.yahoo.com/news/equifax-password-username-adm...? )

In this case I'm sure that the IT person who's in charge for the system just give zero value to data protection and cyber security....

>According to an industry report by Shred-it, 47% of business leaders cited human error as the main cause of a data breach at their organization

Leave beside the fact that someone in this position should have better understanding of cyber security

I wonder if they get any kind of training from the government.

You'd have to wonder what would happen to their stress levels if they were subjected to traffic....

It’s surprising that Apple Pay works at a variety of stores as opposed to just one but it still took this long to become more popular than the Starbucks app. I personally still only use the Starbucks app as Apple Pay still doesn’t work with my credit union.

As far as I know, TOR doesn't work well in China

Pretty sure the words function can be simplified to {⍴(~⍵∊⍺)⊆⍵} (and it also handles empty strings).

Tech companies are getting into politics too much

Could this be caused by people with higher IQ being more honest and knowledgeable about things?

The average person has undiagnosed issues. They may have a mood disorder, but either deny that they have something wrong with them or have never bothered to have it checked out?

Compared to people who care enough to officially test their IQ. I argue that more people in a group like Mensa are more aware of their diagnosis' than the average person.

In the last few years I had the chance to live in Amsterdam, Buenos Aires, Perth, Sofia and Tel Aviv

From all of those cities Amsterdam and Tel Aviv a lot more innovative and the number of entrepreneurs was high (at least felt like it)

I think that there are few criterions that a city need to have to become a tech hub

- Relatively small city - Society who worship startups and entrepreneurs - Many Programmers and engineers (In Israel every 4 months few hundred talented programmers are releasing from the top units in the Israel Defence Forces, bringing high quality manpower to the ecosystem)

There are probably more criterions, those are just few I thought about now

From my experience people usually use IP whitelisting to prevent spam filters from blocking their messages.

I can see the reason behind using this approach for productivity.

It saves time and hassle for site admins

"Google Correlate will shut down on December 15th 2019 as a result of low usage"

I wonder if it gets now to the front page of HN if it might change google decision.

The end of this article is gold

'So unfortunately, I can't end this article with a solution. It's an open problem in emulation.'

I find these kinds of articles fascinating

It reminds me when I read that ee can only dream of faces we've seen in the past, whether we actively remember them or not. The brain cannot invent these.

Agree Because those companies are public the fine might have greater impact But overall, when you know you can pay the fine, you are less afraid to take those risks

You can compare it to entrepreneur from a wealthy family

He can take risks, knowing that if he fail, it won't be to the ground

There won't be any answer. People will continue waste food as the world population grows

You know why?

Because most of the people don't care Even the ones who do are sometimes too lazy to care

Our society built in a way it's just simple to waste food

You throw and forget

I don't know what's the answer but I'm sure that it will come from the tech world

Maybe I don't know much But every time I see that Google gets fined (even if $1B) it feels to me like a a Ferrari got parking ticket

There is a reason Excel is so popular. UX is great and it's just becomes strange to use an alternative to it

I feel a bit old because I'm not open minded for alternatives to this kind of products

I never saw a country passing laws so fast and doing stuff instead of just talking like New Zealand

Amazing

When it comes to checking whenever things are dangerous for humans, it will take years until we will have an answer.

Probably we will reach 8G till then

My grandpa used to say

"No matter how much a snake sheds skin. It's still a snake"

I love this kind of articles.

My dad have his own company. I remember how he used to tell me that he will never forget his first client and after that getting the 2nd client was easier.

I'm not an expert in economy but it just shows that there's a monopoly in the internet industry in Germany

It doesn't make any sense that a country so developed will have a slow internet.

It's a marketing trick.

They might pay 300k, but the PR and coverage they get after an action like this worth millions

I'm following Amazon for a long time They are a monopoly indeed

But they became one only because they are great at doing business

They built an empire from an online book store....

"A survey compiled by Trustarc incredibly reveals that only 20% of companies believe they met regulations in time for the deadline.

“There were no hard and fast rules so the biggest challenge was working out how to interpret the guidelines.” explains one small business owner."

That's the problem with the GDPR

Adapting to the infrastructure is expensive for small businesses

I'm not sure if people in Venezuela would use Bitcoin if their economy wasn't so bad

Crypto volatility is high as well but because their own economy is even worse, crypto is a good solution (only till things get solved)

When most of the companies in the market fake their data so people will invest in them It's a real problem to believe in data related to crypto.

So basically morse theory can help you to make faster validation conclusions?

Does developers/engineers use it?

What can be the reason for the outage? Can it be a cyber attack to your servers?

Food for the brain. I never thought about it before tbh

I hope it won't start to cost money in the near future
