This information includes ethnic and racial origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, genetic and biometric data or health data.
Ask a random person in the street for all this information and I honestly think the best you can hope for is the polite response of "Fuck Off!"
But millions of people are handing this information over willingly simply so they can mindlessly access an online cesspit of brain farts
Thanks, but no thanks
I love the thin veneer of "Justice Done" here. Charges of bribing officials & Corruption in countries, if we are to be honest is the way business is done in those countries, Are the exec's brought before the courts to answer these charges. Of course not. A nominal fine is paid by Oracle that legally absolves them of any further investigation and the exec's get their bonuses, business continues and sec moves.
I have to wonder if the sec investigators were invited by oracle executives on an all expenses paid trip to the nominated countries, or country of their choice to continue their investigation
where extensive experience is considered a plus.
The only extensive experience these so called executives have is ensuring a multi-million dollar contract and enough loopholes that they cannot be held responsible for punching more holes in an already sinking ship.
Extensive experience in taking the reigns and leading a company to real growth and profits, rather than share price manipulation, yeah, not so much
An employee of Amazon walks into the Clinic attach to an Amazon store.
The Doc: Only need your employee Id and ALL your history is made available. So what seems to be the problem. Oh quite a bit from the looks of your employee history and spending habits here at the store. And looking at your medical history no surprises there either. I think a regime of pills is just the ticket. Make sure you purchase them from the Amazon owned pharmacy located next Menswear. The pills are made in a country with questionable Quality Control but they are dirt cheap and considering your an employee of Amazon just within your price range.
Patient: Anne, What are you doing here, weren't you supposed to be stacking shelves in fruit & veg
Anne/Doc: Yeah, But the doc is off sick today and they wanted me cover.
A couple of decades ago IBM was a leading brand, with an unofficial slogan of " no one was ever fired for buying IBM". A strong R&D that led the way in many Computer Science disciplines, Solid Product and tech solution base always backed by it's big iron that powered almost every bank, insurance and government agency around the world.
Nowadays, I don't know a company that isn't divesting themselves of anything IBM related. Now days IBM receives more headlines with its' court room dramas than its' product line and tech solutions which are years behind everyone else, R&D that's been stripped to bare bones and a work force that's been treated the same.
Kavanaugh is right IBM is a very different company from what it once was...
The 2nd amendment is poorly worded, otherwise there would not be so different interpretations.
Yep that's the english language for you. I've Seen whole sections, lines even a single words' meaning/intent in a statute being argued in court.
you look at the legacy insurance, superannuation and banking product applications that have been happily whirling away for years/decades running on old iron without an issue. You then look at the cost of porting/hosting it as a cloud service and a very reasonable question arises.
What's the benefit again?
At the time of writing, the politicians who lined up to give Infosys a kicking over the affair remain silent on social media. But individual taxpayers continue to complain.
Ah so....
Politicians have been sufficiently paid off to be quiet. Any fines, legal action or political fall out has been smothered.
Efficient use of "resources" indeed
Some, SOME. !
Geez, Understand losing the deltas for that business day. But come on.
I'm not condoning what she did . But two failures on part of the company,
Firstly, disable access when you fire someone.
Secondly, pay for a proper backup / DR strategy
Live in Sydney Australia. Well "live" is a rather loose term right now. The ever increasing restrictions means the cabin fever has reached a new level.
At this point we are looking around Christmas when our prison sentence will finally end and we can enjoy the new restricted freedoms our gracious government will provide
What's the bet the top management from Infosys now have a notation against their name, that indicates their tax returns get such an invasive audit it would make a colonoscopy look tame.
And to be honest Infosys have screwed plenty of customers and projects in the past, seems only right they get the same treatment
Well Colour me fuckin' surprised. FaecesBook at it again. This time prettying up a quarterly report to appear what...more socially responsible/acceptable. Hate to break it to you Zuckface. Well technically I'm happy to tell you, any social credits you had were lost long, long ago. Anyone with two neurons realise that delving into your platform is akin to diving head first into the bio bin from the VD Clinic.
Publish the first or second, makes little difference you morally defective idiot.
"outcomes must be addressed to restore fairness, create competition"
Restore fairness : Well in fairness Jeff baby, your solution hasn't even made it to the ISS. Is everyone suppose to wait while you try to catch up?
Create competition: Jeff, do you need a dictionary? Look it up, you were "Competing" against Space X and lost. Your solution was in all aspects inferior. You were delivering less and charging more. In essence you are not "value for money".
You hear it all the time on the nightly news. Police urge the offender(s) to turn themselves in. It is only a matter of time before we catch up with you.
It rarely works.
In this instance the better threat would be.
"Whilst we present a legitimate business, in reality a majority of our clients are criminal enterprises. You have stolen the ill gotten gains from dozens of drugs cartels and criminal syndicates. Would you prefer the tender mercies of the Chinese government or hunted down by our customers?"
“Law enforcement in any country will regard this as a major economic crime and you will be pursued. It is very unwise for you to do any further transactions"
Interesting question: I'm not aware of any country that recognises digital currencies as legitimate currency, So is this a financial crime? You don't get government backed guarantees as you do with that country's issued "dollar". Computer intrusion crime definitely. Theft, maybe, financial crime, debatable. If they do ever catch the guy/girl it would be an interesting test case in court. Well for those countries that have a semblance of innocent until proven guilty.
Whilst the UK does bend over the barrel , just like Australia , for the U.S. It does tend to adhere to certain rules of law. This tends to annoy the U.S as they need to answer some very prickly questions. Like what evidence do you have? Can you prove chain of custody? You know rules of law that "innocents until proven guilty" enjoy in the civilised world.
So they prefer countries where they just throw the victim, oops sorry - criminal over the fence in the hopes the U.S. will leave them alone, or give them stuff.
Rarely have I thought of causing serious injury to a person. Definitely not a fan of Zuck or faecesbook before the story, after reading it, I would have no problem punching the guy in the face repeatedly. Literally pulling the plug because they wouldn't make money quick enough, what a fucking lowlife
Well, of course it does. Just not for you. it simplifies the red tape the supplier needs to cut through to screw you over. It certainly simplifies the negotiation process when you have terabytes of data on "their" cloud solution and they decide to up the price. Particularly when you start to add up the exit fees.
All in all the suppliers find things much simpler when you're in the cloud
