No sympathy here

from here

Literally, despite being a software developer myself, I have no sympathy for malware writers whose business is being hurt by pirates. I say good for the pirates. Even though they're using the malware, if they hurt the sales enough then the writers will give up and stop making new versions, and it's those new versions that give anti-malware the most problems.

The precautions I took are as follows:

1. Carefully line up the card so that only the side edge can be seen and take a picture
2. Turn it around and repeat step 1 for the other side

In other words, just don't do it.

If you thought the amount was disappointing before...

Getting a measly $125 as compensation for a data breach that affected nearly half of the US may seem bad enough, but when you figure in that they only earmarked about $31 million for that payout (for 145 million people) then you start to realize that the math doesn't work out. Apparently people have started to realize that problem and now it seems that $125 is a pipe dream. Some have even suggested that the whole thing was a bait-and-switch scam.

I want to say that crypto means cryptography, but I think I'll make an exception just this once.

I finding myself wondering how stuff like this is legal. I'm not sure how to express it except that it feels like they inserted themselves into an existing criminal business model.

It's not that Facebook's privacy violations are any less egregious (far from it), but rather I think people are resigned to the idea that getting upset about it is a waste of energy because nothing's going to change.
