Why would one reinvent the wheel when Linux already lets you do that.

In that case it would be C since it's implemented in the Linux kernel.

Even if the plane crashes, a properly planned flight shouldn't look reckless - knowing the risks, but deciding them manageable and the best option for everyone involved doesn't seem too far removed from a normal flight.

It's also not just an airline decision - you've got a pilot in control who can make the no-go call at any point, and their training should prevent them from undertaking unnecessary risks.

It looks like this is the way to get around SEC laws.

1. Have a large stock/hedgefund/whatever company. Kinda like Steve Cohen at SAC.

2. Hire hungry employees to take the risk of getting/profiting from Insider Information. (Yes--there are a thousands of Series 7 sociopaths that will do anything to get ahead--including spending a few years at the locked up federal Resort. "Just make money. Happy boss happy life! Plus--how do I keep the out of my league Professional Shopper happy? Really dude?"

3. As long as the head honcho doesn't know exactly where the sociopath got the stock tip, he can claim plausible deniability on his winning wad. It helps to have an army of good lawyers, and very deep pockets.

4. Pay some expected civil penalties, but stay clear of Criminal Conviction. Keep that privilege to steal. That's what's important.

5. Keep your license, and go back to the game of exploiting a rigged system.

6. I'm talking about guys like Steve Cohen. (In my mind, it looks like as long as you can't be directly tied to the insider tip; you Win! Yea--for the boys! Yea--for having money to buy your right to win!).

7. In all honestly, the only real money my deceased father made on the stock market was over a tip at Thanksgiving giving after his daughter's father and in-law got drunk and told him to invest in his company. This was twenty years ago. My father was a vocal critic of anyone who cheated the system. He stopped with his chest beating holier than thou speaches after that trade. (I don't even think my dad saw it as insider trading that night. It was a few months later it hit him. I knew, but I knew my father desperately needed some viable stock tips. Tips that most guys throw around--especially the successful Traders.

"Regardless of whether your information may have been impacted, we will provide you the option to enroll in TrustedID Premier. You will receive an enrollment date."
I actually have two routers with CARP (Dell R320s with 10 NICs) but I don't have an unlimited budget. That is where the real problem lies: the cost of PI.

However PI implies an additional internet routing entry (BGP) and of course that implies routing fragmentation. One of the goals of IPv6 was routing simplicity.

To reply, rather bluntly to people like you, I am a sysadmin and a business owner who does not have an unlimited budget. I almost certainly have more experience with IPv6 than you, judging by your remarks. I am not combative by nature but please tell me what is the most effective way in your opinion of making best use of IPv6 with multiple links to the internet.

You do recognize how terribly inefficient that is, right? In this day and age its all about scale. Expecting a bank manger to have financial profile of all the clients using his firm is impractical.

For all it's faults, the credit reporting agencies are providing a service. It's not perfect and I think it's best they could do with the information available to them. I expect they will improve their score though once they start incorporating signals from social media and other sources.

In my experience it is pretty rare in software development to have the need for a voice/video call. There are use-cases but they are rare and better handled by a specific software.

And also painful. Sometimes I get screenshots from terminal screens showing error messages and have to retype them when e.g. grepping for keywords in source.

Why is there another step? You can have multiple programs, tabs, terminals, shells, sessions, etc. open at the same time.
If it is, wouldn't the best course of action to sell as soon as the news is announced? You then avoid the insider trading accusations (as the information is now public), but still avoid the bulk of the losses.
Great point.

In my case, after entering the information on the "Potential Impact" page, it immediately informed me I was enrolled without actually informing me whether or not I was impacted! It basically looks like Equifax used their massive fuckup to generate business for a service they own that by its nature incentivizes them to have poor security to encourage people to stay subscribed!

Given the number of incidents that have at this point affected nearly every person in at least the US, what value does the data held by the big 3 have? Almost anyone can claim that any information held by Equifax now was the result of fraud.

And how does Equifax prove that data wasn't modified in their systems by an intruder?

Just because something is immutable doesn't mean you can't amend an old record to flag it as inaccurate / irrelevant / outdated.

That said, I don't know how I feel about replacing credit bureaus with a distributed database. The issue still revolves around verifying identity and reputation. The blockchain doesn't solve identity. Perhaps it could solve the reputation problem... of a cryptocurrency wallet. How does a merchant know that their current customer doesn't just burn the reputation of a wallet and create another wallet?

I see BitCoin has being a masterful synergy of several existing algorithms and theories. But it's a lot like a 4-legged chair. I've yet to hear a great use of blockchain (other than a cryptocurrency) which supports the chair with all 4 legs. Some proposals would be better served as just a distributed database, others don't benefit at all from being distributed. Some simply don't have an incentive for miners to spend on the electricity needed for Proof of Work and will inevitably suffer from one company consolidating a majority of the network -- thereby compromising the value of the consensus algorithm.

That's unlikely. Bitcoin cash isn't accepted anywhere yet, and unlike Bitcoin it does not have Segwit, and thus no layer2/lightning network support. It's 8MB blocks only up the on-chain scaling from like 3 tx/sec to ~20tx/sec. That's a negligible difference when compared to credit cards, paypal, etc. Bitcoin will only ever reach that kind of capacity with 2nd layer lightning network, or something like it.
> If a were a millionaire, I wouldn't risk prison for 200k.

This is part of the reason why you aren't a millionaire. Wealth selects for people who do some strange things to make a little extra money here and there... and there... and there... and there....

It's also why people who aren't like these millionaires (whether of similar means but less wealth or of greater means but fewer questionable choices) think some millionaires make foolish, cruel, or inhumane decisions.
> If they can't put these assholes in jail for running the credit check companies themselves

Who is "they"? You realize Congress has effectively cemented the place of the big three credit bureaus in the daily life of all Americans, right?
Not just bankruptcy. Banks and businesses contract with check verification companies such as ChexSystems. I had a friend who bounced a check and it took him a few weeks to reimburse the bank. By then the bank closed his account and reported him to Chex, who put a 5 year hold on his ability to get another checking account through any bank that used Chex verification (> 90%), essentially blackballed.
We don't know how the security breach happened. Should Equifax be criminally liable for using software which contains a remote-exploitable buffer overflow vulnerability? Or for the actions of a corrupt employee who stole some data and sold it on the black market?

It's possible that Equifax did something really negligent and if so maybe there should be a class-action lawsuit against the company. But it's also possible they did all the things they should have done and still failed because security is really hard and maybe the attacker got lucky.

Sounds like such a freeze should be the default state.
It's amazing how they make it difficult to give them more information. Granted, you aren't paying them directly, but you are effectively making their business more valuable by linking more accurate data to their profile of you.

it would be interesting to hear the benefits and problems of
that approach.

A big problem is that libc interfaces are more stable, which means with libc you don't need to recompile as much when the system is upgraded, if ever.

Solaris and Linux work hard to keep their kernel interfaces stable, so it's less of an issue there. But Apple, for example, very explicitly says that kernel interfaces (Unix syscalls and Mach ports) are unstable and unsupported, generally speaking. Consumable interfaces are provided via the userland runtime (e.g. libc). Notably, Apple's toolchains don't even support static compilation.

A system like OpenBSD isn't so gratuitous as Apple in terms of breaking compatibility, but because they're focused on improving and simplifying a cohesive system, they don't flinch about breaking compatibility when needed. For various reasons that happens more often with kernel interfaces than with libc interfaces.
Their launch rate was previously a struggle, but they have hit their stride this year with 13 launches in a little over 8 months (they had 7 launches in all of last year).

So the company stated that they (3 of them) did not know about the breach.

I would also love to see a z/OS hobbyist program. Sadly, I doubt IBM is ever going to do it (but you never know).

In the meantime, anyone can download and run the public domain MVS 3.8J, it is ancient but it includes a lot of the basic technologies of z/OS (JCL, JES2, VSAM, VTAM, TSO, 3270, etc), just in much older versions (essentially 1970s vintage).

I think TK4- is the easiest way to run it: http://wotho.ethz.ch/tk4-/

I believe TK4- includes the MVT COBOL compiler from 1972 (which was the last COBOL compiler version IBM released into the public domain), although I've never tried it myself.
From the article:

Regulatory filings show that three days later, Chief Financial Officer John Gamble sold shares worth $946,374 and Joseph Loughran, president of U.S. information solutions, exercised options to dispose of stock worth $584,099. Rodolfo Ploder, president of workforce solutions, sold $250,458 of stock on Aug. 2. None of the filings lists the transactions as being part of 10b5-1 scheduled trading plans.

The three “sold a small percentage of their Equifax shares,” Ines Gutzmer, a spokeswoman for the Atlanta-based company, said in an emailed statement. They “had no knowledge that an intrusion had occurred at the time.”

The timing is very suspicious, but if they can prove that they had no knowledge, then they are safe. Given their titles, that seems like a dubious claim.

The problem with the SSN is it is an identifier and a secret. It's a username and password in one, you can't change it and you need it for any substantial financial transaction.

Ideally, we'd have both a public username and a private password that we could change for our financial identification. This would eliminate most of the problems with these big data breaches. The backup for resetting a forgot password would be to show up in person and do some sort of biometric scan. Biometrics have to be done in person at a government office though since they aren't secret and cannot be changed. There shouldn't be an over the wire API for biometric identification because then you've got the SSN problem all over again, a combined username and password that's even more public than an SSN that can't be changed.

Food for thought: you are basing your admittedly uneducated opinion of a legal matter on a single criteria.

If you end up being right, it will have been almost pure luck, but it may reinforce certain incorrect assumptions, like your theory that this single criteria was the deciding factor, or that this kind of armchair analysis is productive.

Point being: even if you are right, it's probably a bad idea to even take the position to begin with.
