Hyrax Attack! posted:Dumb question, but what incentive would the hackers have to release the info when paid? It's not like the pipeline company can file a customer service complaint and the hackers are already committing major crimes. Why not keep raising the price? In a somewhat ironic twist, if you don't actually relent when the ransom is paid, people will be less likely to pay the ransom going forwards. If you gently caress up 100 systems and ransom them for $1000 each, even getting a few people to go "I paid the ransom and they honored it" will entice other people to pay. If your goal is to be able to continue extorting money, you want people to have some trust that you'll follow through.

Yeah, the inflation number for April came in at 4.2%, which is freaking out people that can afford to be freaked out about that kind of thing. Nevermind that one of the major reasons is that the data is being compared to April 2020 (a dead shutdown). Nevermind that 33% of the inflation is simply used cars (due to microchip shortages). Nevermind that we're currently in mass shortages of items like building materials because companies cut back their production targets thinking we'd still be in the pandemic. So naturally, it's being used an excuse to not spend any more government money, and GOP governors are yanking back extended unemployment benefits, and dammit people are demanding to be paid too much.

Hyperinflation is a central bank policy that has to be implemented. Usually because you need to deficit spend by printing a currency nobody wants. The US however is deficit spending with a currency everyone wants. T-bills are still at 0, 30 year bonds at 2.375%. https://www.treasurydirect.gov/instit/annceresult/annceresult.htm

I'm really struggling on malice vs incompetence on this "audit". Are they Qultists absolutely convinced that ultraviolet bamboo would be the smoking gun and are dumbfounded that they haven't found the deep state's nefarious plan? Did they go in knowing they won't find anything and that it wouldn't matter they just need to put on a show, gently caress things up, then go screaming on the propaganda networks about how bad things are hosed up?

It’s the same playbook as 2000. There are true believers involved, but there are also GOP operatives who know it’s bullshit because they created and/or nurtured it. The true believers are known as “useful idiots”.

Meanwhile, in "gently caress me dead" news: https://i.stuff.co.nz/world/austral...2-test-positive I think everyone in the world knows the case numbers in India are far, far underrepresented, but even so 42 out of 150 is an absolutely insane proportion.

That’s a number that’s like “wait is that even mathematically possible given the nature of the growth function”? I think that the answer is that this must be an unrepresentative sample. One in four Indians cannot be currently infected, right? If nothing else, things have been bad for weeks.
