the problem with computer science people in general is that they don't take into consideration of all the potential downstream risks of what they are doing (growing up as a survivor, I do risk management well)
as an example, while this may have seemed like a relatively harmless product to offer with cutting edge science for some quick cash to provide investors, what happened after the company information was hacked, and what is that data being used for now?
where are the 'research controls' on corporations? and why do we do nothing about the fact that there are a larger than average population of sociopaths in CEO positions (not that they all are, obviously). however, there are only so many excuses to be made before the world recognizes catastrophe; isn't that the only thing that creates law in these cases?
