That is exactly what I was thinking when I read it, too.

I don’t think you can immediately call it greed until we see a breakdown of the device and get an estimate of the part costs. The price for video games has not adjusted with inflation, or rise in development costs. Games in 1990 were 50 to 60 dollars a game. That would be 120 ish dollars today if adjusted for inflation. That said, the market will determine if the price point is too high.

I’ll buy a switch 2 when there is a new Zelda game to play on it.

The headlines leave out the part where this is a requirement of their security clearance. It is not uncommon for those holding a security clearance to be discouraged or prohibited from relationships with foreign nationals. It also isn’t a direct prohibition, it would just result in a loss of their clearance, and you are absolutely correct that this will result in more leverage against US personnel.

I agree, many of those articles are not news. The are opinion editorial pieces just like this one. This is political article and should be posted in politics, not news. I contend that the failure to differentiate opinion pieces from objective news is the reason so many people are able to fall victim to misinformation campaigns.

Fair point.

This is not a news article. It is a history article. The opposite of news.

Agree with the sentiment but the logic in this is flawed. It is comparing a value with a rate of change with the final comparison being tried to make against a value vs a rate of change. Wealth is a value, wage is a rate of change. The comparison is being made against a defined rate of change (minimum wage) vs a value (billionaire wealth). It’s still wildly obscene.

It’s ok, because it says congress shall make no law. /s

Let me clarify, I disagree that people should not be informed about jury nullification. Too many people forget that we grant our government power. One way we continue to enforce that power grant is by reserving the right to a trial by a jury of your peers. Too many people take that message to heart that they need to rule in accordance with the law.

I disagree, we also want people to nullify laws that are unjust, such as prosecuting a woman who decides to have an abortion. This is one of the means the people retain to fight tyranny.

“Improve foot traffic…”

They essentially built a transformer.

That’s 22 charges per card. Seems reasonable, hard to quantify without knowing over what period and where the charges took place.

Nice informative comment.

I mean, he bought the presidency so….

I don’t think that is a fair argument in this day and age of software development, especially for an operating system. With that level of complexity, I would contend that it is next to impossible to identify potential failure scenarios. I also think this suffers from a rose colored glasses view on history. Perhaps software in the past was as vulnerable, it just never got patched because there wasn’t an easy method to apply updates. Now that there is, it is much better to have a responsive development team to react and fix obscure problems that are difficult or impossible to predict.

This is a good post and article. It actually contains enough information to make an assessment about how this vulnerability equates to risk in our environments. I completely agree with the author that curl requests should fail if they can’t perform validation as defined being the default behavior.
