All you are doing by making such punishing consequences is giving hackers an actual motivation for breaching public companies.

Right now if data leaks, maybe you get some emails and user data which is cool but ultimately useless beyond spam value or for identity fraud, or perhaps for hacking some other financial accounts that may be of some value, but also adds more risk.

But if you know a company could be utterly destroyed with fines, you can open up a huge short position on the company and then publicize the breach somewhere and wait for the stock to drop to zero.

Or maybe you’re a startup and want to eliminate some competitors. Pay off some hackers in bitcoin to attack and breach their servers and watch them go under.

Better to just leave things the way they are now.

It would be a cool web project to have photographs of scenes where you could dynamically choose what to remove from the scene.

I’m not sure the phones were “removed” but rather were never actually there.

This is nothing new. Couples have been physically together yet miles apart way before phones came around, and still are.

What exactly would a strike at Google do? Will the servers stop running?

No one tries to have dirty laundry, and if you are a company of any significant size there’s going to be dirty laundry regardless.

No? It's much faster and cheaper to deal with the arbitration yourself than to have all the dirty laundry aired out in public courts, which will almost certainly be a long, expensive process.

How does it come to a stop, the vehicle gains too much mass?

By offsetting the mass of a system, to produce a zero mass vehicle.

Negative mass... holy shit with this we could break the speed of light

Haven’t you been paying attention? We’ve been breathing for the past two months. My tech stocks have lost over $120k of value since September highs, in just two months.

Was expecting something a bit more profound.

Only way to know is to get people who are actively using social networks and aren’t thinking about quitting to just quit for no reason. Chances are you probably won’t see any change in happiness, just a change in habits.

Amazon is entrenched in a lot more than just government. Consumers, shareholders, merchants... a lot of people depend on Amazon to be around and in good health.

It’s a self fulfilling prophecy, quitting any social network because you think it will make you happier probably will.

As he should. If you fuck up the root domain it’s over.

Agreed, this really is the last thing holding me back from going all out on Lambda.

Anyone come up with solutions for Lambda functions to effectively use database connection pools without the use of a dedicated server?

Will the generation that comes after millennials be even poorer?

Inspiring in the way that there are still people willing to do what is unpopular in an effort to advance scientific understanding.

Playing dungeons and dragons all day to pass the time?

It’s inspiring to think that somewhere there may already be living human clones created by someone paid a lot of money by a wealthy individual who won’t take no for an answer.

This will accelerate global warming and kill off fragile ecosystems from all the heat being radiated to the oceans.

I wonder if one could create clones of every user on a site such as hackernews for instance, and create bots for each one, such that when you feed in a random article, comments are automatically generated and replies to comments appear recursively. Comments as a Service.

Poor bastard who stumbles into such a forum never realizing everyone is a bot.

Not a good idea if pesticides were sprayed.

So much good software out there is forever hidden from the world because the creators are afraid to be seen failing publicly, because of shit like this.

To the brave souls who release open source packages, here’s to you.
