Data I've seen suggests otherwise. Care to engage with me so that we can figure out where the discrepancy lies?

First one looks like a motorized hang glider, dropping something to the ground at the end. Probably smuggling something. Drugs is my guess.
Yes, but expecting corporations to do it on their own is silly. They operate in a competitive environment so game theory should tell us what's going to usually happen. The laws and regulations exist, and a lot more are needed, but it's also not as simple because costs of enforcement also range from inexpensive to infeasible. In the end, it's people making self-interested decisions, whether on behalf of themselves or on behalf of corporations. I don't know of any easy solutions - my feeling is that those don't exist - so the best bet is to steer society towards better and more effective politics. More distributed and less concentrated power structures, checks and balances, enforcement, novel, effective, and efficient systems through science based analysis, as well as lots of trials and errors and fast iterative improvements based on rapid feedback loops. In short, the world nowadays moves faster than the current government systems and it's a losing battle until governing adaptability can increase in speed.
This describes stealing better than capitalism. And stealing is as old as nature.
I was going off of the info at the top of the graph: "Aug 2023: 306.269 | Index 1982-1984=100" So yeah, ~3% for 40 years is about right. Last three years are way higher though, so the average is not a good indicator of recent inflation. Last 3 years is probably around 6% per year, which is pretty bad.
Replying with a more stupid take at least proves mine wasn't the stupidest possible.
This graph shows 3% average annual inflation over the last 40 years.
Not great, not terrible.
Conclusion
The Equifax data breach from 2017 stands out as one of the largest data breaches in history, impacting millions of individuals. It is the result of several mistakes made by Equifax:
- Insufficient knowledge of their legacy systems.
- Poor password storage practices.
- Lack of rigor in the patching process.
- Lack of network segmentation.
- Lack of Host-Based Intrusion Detection System (HIDS)
- Lack of alerting when security tools fail.
That's what happens when corps cheap out on IT security. Storing so much personal sensitive data and not putting in the work needed to properly safeguard it. Good IT is hard, but not impossible.
Wonderful. Slowly but surely, LN is proving itself.
I'll get back to civ when I retire. It can get too life-ruiningly addictive for me.
Hey, at least your average, retarded, left take seems to be (at least from my limited experience here) somewhat more palatable than your average, retarded, right take.
