    Clinical lab pays hackers for the return of data of 15 million patients

    The FBI will instruct you to never pay the ransom. 1) There is no guarantee you will receive the key or data after the payment is made. 2) Payment assures you a place on a list where other criminals know you have a propensity to payup.

    Sacklers siphoned nearly $11 billion from Purdue amid opioid crisis

    Well that's just not the American capitalistic way. /s EDIT: The Sacklers are no different than industries that poison and pollute the land, seas, and air. No one is calling to strip all the cash from them - despite the impact being far more widespread and longer lasting. I am not at all...

    Cryptocurrency investors want to exhume CEO who took $250 million to his grave

    Why has it taken this long to demand exhuming the corpse to see if he really is in there?? This should have been the first thing done when he "died in India" and $250 million dollars in a crypto-wallet suddenly vanished shortly after.

    Poopy lettuce strikes again, sickening 67 with E. coli-tainted romaine

    I assume they meant "'toss it' into the trash"... not with salad dressing, as if to prepare for consumption.

    John Legere, T-Mobile’s brash “Un-carrier” chief, will leave in May 2020

    T-Mobile corporate style is going to shift when they move from Legere to Sievert. Its like going from the T-Birds (leather jackets) to the Jocks (letterman jackets)....

    High demand causes login problems on Disney+ launch day

    Thats a terrible idea. Most people thought Disney+ was going to behave like Netflix - complete seasons for the user to watch ala carte. Now you are subject to them doling it out like traditional television - thats not what people expected to sign up for with an online streaming service. Feels...

    I heard more complaints about not being able to binge watch 'The Mandalorian'.

    Netflix CEO defends censoring anti-government video in Saudi Arabia

    Hasan's show is great. I haven't missed a single episode. Countries banning his comedy is merely proof he is telling the truth and calling them out on their bullshit policies and criminal behavior.

    Concern that Sacklers are hiding opioid money prompts call for special examiner

    Yet more proof that you can buy whatever justice you want, if you can afford it.

    Cattle eyeball worms found in second human, raising worry of wriggly uprising

    Ugh. Revolting, yet fascinating at the same time. Anyone else start rubbing their eyes while reading this?? *vomit*

    New bill would create Digital Privacy Agency to enforce privacy rights

    This could be a good step towards bringing the Eurozone's version of General Data Protection Regulation to this side of the Atlantic. We need this. Right now, there are no restrictions on how corporations can capture, retain, resell, and wantonly use consumer personal data however they see...

    AT&T users whose “unlimited data” was throttled get $60 million in refunds

    $60million back to the customers probably amounts to a check of $2 dollars to each customer after the attorneys get their cut. What a farce. The penalties needs to be much higher to force these corporations to lawabiding stewards and service providers.

    Shadow Brokers’ leak of NSA code leads to discovery of new APT hacking group

    Nothing suspicious about those countries at all. Most appear to have few things in common: war, weak national governments, and rampant corruption.

    Fortnite pro faces lifetime ban for using aimbots in video

    Cheating in fun is no different from cheating to win. He knew the risks. Hard to find sympathy. Hopefully he learns a lesson about rules.

    NASA rejects Blue Origin’s offer of a cheaper upper stage for the SLS rocket

    This makes the decision even worse. NASA should be trying to find the most economical route without relinquishing safety, reliability and reuse capabilities.

    NASA rejects Blue Origin’s offer of a cheaper upper stage for the SLS rocket

    This situation has the reek of politics and maintaining space launch/aerospace jobs in preferred markets and states. Otherwise, it makes little sense to choose a more expensive solution rather than the more economical one. Launches and the movement of materials/people to space is wholly...

    A bonanza of data from the second Voyager to reach the Solar System’s edge

    I love articles discussing the data provided by the farthest objects humans have ever thrown into the unknown.

    TikTok’s parent company facing national security review, report says

    It is tolerable so long as it is a US based company gathering all that user data. When a foreign nation's tech corporation or entity is doing it to our 'fair citizens', people get themselves all worked up. Most online corporations are gathering enough data on us by just using their services -...
