Kinda good example right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkPAgv1Gjz0

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.

It's not that they don't pay taxes at all, but they definitely pay less than they should. http://money.cnn.com/2013/03/04/news/economy/buffett-secreta...

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.

19 billion tells me nothing.

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.

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.

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."

But this is kind of 2 sides of the same coin.

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.

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.

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. """

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.

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.
