Since additional details were requested, I'all add them.
I'm not quite sure how many users this will pickup, it depends on how on demand the site is, but I do YouTube / Twitch reliability and quality.
I can't quite say much more as I haven't fully thought through all the details, as I just want to put my foot into the water and know how much money it would take, before I invest any time.
Assuming that this database has been building up over the past decade, I'm in awe over how much money they must have spent on Laptop's in the early part of this decade.
I'll also say this you're insinuating that Amazon has hired this person because of their skills of being able to break into systems. Without proof of this that point is completely irrelevant. To second this why would they not check any of the other previous employers? Seems like you don't like Amazon and my point still stands that Amazon was irrelevant to this whole situation even if she worked for them and Capital One used their services, and that this article is using Amazon for attention.
Well I second part of what you said was obvious.. but your logic is flawed because I could use the same logic if someone that committed a mass shooting worked at a gun range or if a butcher stabbed someone.
I don't understand why Amazon is relevant here, it is like saying someone who worked for Target assaulted a random person, really doesn't make any sense. This article just seems to fishing for clicks and attention.
Spotify... Probably the most game changing app for me, until like 3 years ago I usually would download music on my phone whenever I had free time, and that would take so long to get it onto my phone. Now I can just click the app and listen.
Edit: Also, Instagram, not for its social media aspect such as stories or posting pictures, but its direct messaging feature, since all my friends are on Instagram I no longer need to collect phone numbers or go onto various messaging services. Usually I can just message them on there, even if I have to sacrifice a little bit of privacy it's fine since none of my conversations are usually sensitive.
You do bring up a very valid point but I think that is true with anything that consumers buy like cars, or common household products when things just start to break or newer iterations of those products come out with better features.
I don't understand why these articles think that people will just keep buying, like in the past decade the lifespan of devices has become bigger and bigger. I'm typing this post on a 2013 Macbook and I'm sure a lot of other users are using older laptops than that, that run perfectly fine. Like does the media just expect people to be buying new stuff again and again?
I don't know if I'm just missing the point or something...
Honestly, Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman is probably the best book I've ever read. My dad recommended it to me and I was hooked, read it a couple times over.
The Nazis were already developing nuclear bombs, Hitler just didn't really put a priority on it. Even if the US had never developed it, when the Soviets and Americans took the Nazi scientists in they would have eventually developed them anyways.
