A system can be owned using various exploits combined together. So if someone finds a way to alter the installation images, suddenly a mild trick that would normally just result in funny icons is now an exploit.
Maybe Nintendo never considered someone screwing around with their network to load an arbitrary image in a place that only Nintendo-Generated Mii png images should be but then I found a way... and if that libpng was vulnerable, suddenly we've gained usermode execution on a Wii U. Or worse yet, similar to the Sony PSP .tiff image exploit, maybe after gaining usermode we find a kernel-mode exploit and attack that. Now, we're near the realm of game piracy and private keys.
There's no way you can believe otherwise, a millionaire can afford all kinds of financial experts to work 40hrs/week to move money all over the place to avoid taxes. It's unreasonable to think they don't (ab)use that ability.
In comparison to what? And exactly what income-levels paid what percentage of that? Did the poor & middle class paid 98% of of that? Did the rich & powerful use all kinds of crazy tax-loop-holes to avoid paying trillions? Cost of living/retirement in what parts of America?....maybe 19 billion is a drop in the ocean, maybe not.
I'm assuming the OP is talking independent stores vs. Amazon as in "I don't wanna support the monolithic beast known as Amazon; I'd rather support mom&pop stores".... and other various data points around Amazon-is-evil-crazy-sweatshops-and-twist-arms-of-book-authors type stuff.
You need proof that a child growing up with quality care and a quality social/cultural environment is more likely to be able to function and "succeed" in life as an adult?
>>any non-pathological adolescent or adult can take care of children acceptably
Define "acceptably".
Some babysitters think it's acceptable to just chat on Facebook all day and plant the child in front of the TV for 10 hours. That's not acceptable to me, but that's more or less what you get for very cheap labor; just someone to keep you legally clear from abandoning a minor. Like those super-cheap bare minimum car insurance that does nothing but keep you legally driving.
Here's the definition of acceptable when it comes to my children: Take kids to parks and museums. Can avoid using profanity around them. Won't smoke around them. Won't be speeding down the highway with them. Can be trusted not to fill my children with junk food. Can truly trust them to actively watch the kids so they don't do something crazy like sticking a fork into a power outlet or turning on the gas stove without the flame, thus filling the house with gas. Right now, the only people my wife & I trust with our kids are their grandparents... aside from the pre-school teachers.
Finding quality childcare is harder than you think.
It's only weird if the employee isn't directly responsible for creating that something.
e.g., You can buy a Lambo for nearly one million but the cars salesman who sold it to you probably isn't rich.
But when you buy a painting for nearly one million, it'd make sense to think the actual painter is doing pretty well.
A (good)public school teacher in America is woefully underpaid compared to the service they provide. They should be paid similar to doctors & nurses, imho.
Because you never really know until you _really know_. I know there have been times in my life that I was 100% sure of something and never thought there was a way I could be wrong, but somehow new info came to my attention and turned everything upside down. What if there's some kinda stuff in a chinese document that FireEye hasn't read yet, stating that this is normal functionality of the SDK and the developer, who read the docs thoroughly, knows that it does this. Better to just present the facts and stick with "suspect" or "alleged" type verbage and only drop the bet-hedging when it is known without a shadow of a doubt. The fact Apple removed the apps does strongly indicate FireEye at least found something suspicious and the readers of this article are probably mostly convinced at that point anyway without FireEye having to risk officially throwing around accusations.
Also, nowadays it's getting a bit too easy to blame hacking/spying on the Chinese & Russians so you don't want to accuse them until you're absolutely sure. If you're wrong, it's going to look extra bad.
Another could be: "Our users are being innovate and using our services in ways we didn't completely anticipate, therefore we are trying to let our products grow "organically" and will make changes that augment what our users appear to be doing."
I feel like that has to diminish the walled-garden, proprietary weight at least a little bit if slack & irssi can communicate. And it works over SSL too. Once I started doing that, I didn't mind using slack. You have to "/ignore" certain server messages though or your whole screen will be spammed with them and you'll barely see the stuff people are saying.

That's because unlocking the iPhone was never about this case.
It was about putting Apple in the position of unlocking every iPhone that the government will ever want unlocked now and into the future because if you do one you have no argument against doing the next one.
And to make sure that all iPhones now and into the future can be unlocked.
There, does that make more sense?
"""
That's really all this is about.... setting precedent and pushing legal events down a logical path that'll eventually lead to a judge ruling Apple must make backdoors into all future iOS versions. They have to push hard to get a favorable ruling quickly before everyone updates to the new iOS that Apple can't unlock at all. Because by then they'd have a much more difficult legal argument to make.
You may already have figured this out, but just incase anyone is wondering what the potential problem here is...
If it doesn't wake up and run the date command in a certain timeframe then this while loops will run forever.
The chances of that happening, while greater than zero, are really small though. It'd be something like the loop checks the time at "15:59:59", doesn't match so it goes to sleep just a few milliseconds before "16:00:00" then wakes up and runs the date command again and hopefully the deities of the CPU clock & scheduling will do this before too many milliseconds go by and the time becomes "16:00:01", at which point the while-loop would be infinite since the exact moment in time it's waiting for is now in the past and cannot occur again. I suspect though, CPU clock ticks are measured in nanoseconds or something smaller than a millisecond so this while-loop shouldn't miss its exit criteria on any modern machine.
Also, there's a chance this is just a fancy splash screen or even just a screenshot and a Twitch employee will manually get things started when it's time.
>>Most banks don't make any security demands of internal applications because they are not accessible to the internet. At which point safety is just a way to slow you do.
This is a bad way of doing things. That means as soon as someone finds a way to get inside the network, the bank is wrecked. You need to look at security from the point of assuming the attacker somehow got inside because it'll happen one day.
"""
MOTHERBOARD: How did you hack Avid Life Media? Was it hard?
The Impact Team: We worked hard to make fully undetectable attack, then got in and found nothing to bypass.
MOTHERBOARD: What was their security like?
The Impact Team: Bad. Nobody was watching. No security. Only thing was segmented network. You could use Pass1234 from the internet to VPN to root on all servers.

You can't dismiss Facebook for copying myspace then in the same breath credit Google without respecting all internet entities that tested the waters before it. I was using Netscape Navigator, mapquest, yahoo, hotbot, lycos, and altavista before any of this Google Chrome/maps.google.com/ Google Search/Gmail stuff came along.
>>Personally, I would not want anyone with criminal records in my neighborhood/private property.
There are plenty of good people who get labeled criminals and plenty of people would really should have a criminal record but avoided it. Don't make the mistake of aligning morals/ethics with the law. What's legal often isn't morally sound, what's illegal doesn't make sense half the time until you follow the money.
Well, I pretty much did the same thing and lost 35 lbs. I know my electronic scale can't be influenced by the placebo effect.
That said, I'm not trying to say sugar is 100% bad for you. I'm sure removing 100% of the sugar from the human body will cause it to fail. Just saying that if you're one of those knocking down 2 bottles of mountain dew and a candy bar everyday, you should probably stop.
