Are they not still associated with an alleged rapist by hosting and monetising his content, but not sharing the profits with the content creator? They should just give him notice to close his account if that is the case and close his account.
Would this kind of attitude by an organisation incentivise malicious/nefarious activities? Is it because if actual funds are stolen they'd be covered by insurance and could leverage law enforcement, but open security research may just cause extra internal costs?
Samsung SDS made $635 million in profit in 2019 which I think was higher than ARM? As far as I'm aware the 'Samsung Group' doesn't actually have all the companies under that so it's difficult to see what the overall revenue/profit is of the entire 'group'. It has quite a few other companies, like heavy industries, insurance, asset management, etc and I think they all have thousands of employees and are very large companies in their industries so I'd be surprised that when combined the other companies weren't significant. Did you have any data on this?
Think it depends how prices are increased. When Keen.io went from a couple hundred dollars to a couple hundred THOUSAND dollars per month we had to cancel, but with services going up <50% after years of usage, it has often seemed reasonable.
A physician from Korea recently did an AMA on Reddit and said:
'It is hard for anyone to predict what will happen in the future in this volatile situation. However, South Korean experts think that if the situation doesn't get better within the month, it will last up to 6 months. If the situation exacerbates within 6 months, it's apparent that this will become a much more difficult scenario than previously imagined. There would be a high chance of economic repercussions of this outbreak. Moreover, the resources of medical personnel may be entirely exhausted in this situation, which would lead to more deaths. In South Korea alone, 300,000 deaths would be a fair prediction from such a scenario.'[0]
Seems too early to conclude this has been contained yet.
I'm surprised Big Pharma hasn't done something like this for free for doctors. They already spend tons of money marketing to doctors to perscribe their drugs and even club together and spend billions monitoring the perscription data with IQVIA (IMS Health basically). Maybe it's just that I've recently finished reading Bad Pharma by Ben Goldacre, but this sounds like it's right up their street to help manipulate doctor's perscribing.
In 'hockey' there is a ball. In 'ice' hockey it's a puck. (I also realise Gretzky is an ice hockey player, but thought it was an appropriate pedanticism given the discussion of the name of 'football'/'soccer' above :))
Paper should last longer in a firesafe than most digital devices and is quite a trustworthy device. Paper has an autoignition temperature of 450 degrees F, so a UL class 350 rated fire safe should keep your paper documents safe, but those temperatures might ruin digital storage devices.
