Most people do not understand, or care to understand, what "security" means.

You highlight training as a control. Training is expensive - to reduce cost and enhanced effectiveness, how do you focus training on those that need it without any method to identify those that do things in insecure ways?

Additionally, I would say a major function of these systems is not surveillance at all - it is preventive controls to prevent compromise of your systems.

Overall, your comment strikes me a naive and not based on operational experience.

Seems like Wall-E may have been close to non-fiction than fiction.

I'm curious, what's the problem with that?

Almost everyone in my office has issues with Bluetooth headphones mysteriously disconnecting - the sound output drops even though Bluetooth is still connected.

Very annoying and can't find a resolution.

Considering the proximity to European markets (and maybe East Coast US as well) and the abundance of potential for geothermal energy in Iceland, I would have thought this would have been a fairly worthwhile thing for Iceland to invest in.

As an comparison, wouldn't this do better that what the Netherlands using glasshouses heated by imported natural gas?

I'm not sure about including e-Ink, I feel like if people are outside they should be doing something other than staring at their phone...

My understanding is that China is offshoring a lot of stuff to Africa. Wages are still lower there.

Has anyone made this stuff work in a country outside the US?

I've done a bit of research into this in NZ, where it seems to be a lot harder to grind points (e.g. FlyBuys / Airpoints).

Having just read through >300 resumes to fill several security consulting roles, my anecdata is that a well laid resume makes with good design does make a good first impression and increases the chance that I will read through it. To me, it exhibits that they have put a bit of effort into communicating their value and shows ability to understand how to communicate information.

That said, still not as much of an impression as a good cover letter written to demonstrate how their strengths match the vacancy.

To a certain extent, yes. But having experience in dealing with schools for IT (in NZ), you'll be hard pressed to get them to spend money on upgrades when the current solution "works".

A not insubstantial amount, I'd predict.

(Anecdata) I had to prove that the work I did on a car (replacing the bumper) didn't cause a fire which burned down the garage and house it was in a week later.

That said, I do agree with your point that a brand new vehicle should not have these sorts of issues. Be interesting to see where the cause lay.

The fakes can do this too, though...

And how do you validate what is displayed on TV? Who will validate most videos they see?
