There is no freedom without freedom of movement - Estonian World
There is no freedom without freedom of movement - Estonian World:
British prime minister David Cameron recently caused a furore when suggesting that in future, the immigration from poorer EU countries to the UK should be restricted, thus undermining and ignoring one of the fundamental EU principles – the free movement of workers. David Cameron also described the immigration from A8 (including Estonia) countries to the UK since 2004 as “a big mistake”. Adam Garrie argues why the prime minister is wrong on this.

Someone's Been Siphoning Data Through a Huge Security Hole in the Internet | Threat Level | Wired.com
Someone's Been Siphoning Data Through a Huge Security Hole in the Internet | Threat Level | Wired.com: But the technique demonstrated at DefCon, and now spotted in the wild, allows an attacker to send his announcement in such a way that it is delivered only to select routers. So, once the traffic passes through his router, it gets directed to its rightful destination through routers that never got the bogus announcement. The attack intercepts only traffic headed to target addresses, not from them.

Do Antivirus Companies Whitelist NSA Malware? - InformationWeek
Do Antivirus Companies Whitelist NSA Malware? - InformationWeek:
I predict that in 2014 every major newspaper and magazine will perpetuate, to the detriment of data security and human understanding, the grossly erroneous notion that "for an antivirus firm to spot malware, it first needs to have seen the malware, recognized that it's malicious code, and written a corresponding virus signature for its products."
The fact that this is simply not true, and has not been true for many years, will not deter people from repeating it, over and over.
A bit like Autotrend saying that cars cannot be started without first engaging the crank handle.

Wall Street, investment bankers, and social good : The New Yorker: Rent capture causes the misallocation of labor and capital, transfers substantial wealth to bankers and financiers, and, at worst, induces systemic failure. Both impose social costs on their own, but in combination they create a perfect storm of wealth destruction.”
