You know, school was initially "invented" for this purpose: being obedient slaves - though that is a bit of a misnomer. Really the goal was the unify the population by ensuring the new generation would think and behave in a more controlled and similar way. And as horrible as it might sound, it worked great. Boosted the economy, science, reduced crime, boosted happiness, etc.
Now then again and as per usual there's a balance to how much rules and stupid stuff one can abide to, and we crossed that line long ago. You can see it when most students hate school just because of what's being forced onto them. This one rule just adds to the pile.
Do you think other companies are that different? For instance, have you tried Okta? Because it's the exact same bunch of issues. Have you tried auth0? Heck I'd say it's better, but they also have their bunch of issues, plus you can see them more easily as most of their stuff is open source. People will only panic if these issues are exploited and publicly exposed, otherwise believe it's safe and stuff. Just like you do.
I think it's narrow sighted to believe that every company that gets pwned is a snow flake. Keep in mind that most companies that do NEVER disclose it. They only do if they have absolutely NO choice.
TLDR Convenience wins almost every time. "OneLogin used shitty cards (like everyone else)"
It's a game nowadays. Well arguably, it might always have been a game. OneLogin played it, used shitty cards (like everyone else) and got unlucky and lost.
For CISOs it's all about being lucky while trying to dance on the edge. At the end of the day this means, you'd better spend your energy where it really matters, because the rest of the company certainly won't and you certainly won't have the authority or manpower.
So by order of importance...
0) pray you're lucky 1) have a kick-ass IR team that has procedures and forensics 2) try to break stuff with red teaming, that includes actually breaking stuff, not showing it's going to break (because nobody cares for that) 3) attempt a few wins here and there in the design of the products to wipe out entire classes of risks (that the best you'll do - for ex, 2FA would've saved OneLogin maybe) 4) try to educate users/engineers via training, phishing, super simple risk analysis
The rest is CYA docs and stuff, but not *actually* useful since nobody follows it.
Just wait til the said drones implement the same technology, or another airbus jams another airbus.. and boom no more GPS, radio with the tower, radio guidance, etc.
You say safari but its just as much chrome, which is also default on android phones just like safari is on iOS phones. In fact, this phenomenon got strengthened when Google starting making Chrome the default android browser and led to this situation.
Not sure how thats not a problem. Its always how this starts. grab a part of it. then fuck up everything over time.
You will not know if torrent, your game, your mail, or http traffic needs to be throttled. They will decide on that and make the numbers say anything they want to get a financial advantage. That's what they do.
And.. you have a smartphone yes? Because all W10 is doing, is gathering similar data to what iOS and Android do. It's logical, as W10 is to become a mixed base for mobile and regular platforms.
It's not good for our future for sure - but it's not like it was a "Microsoft problem". It's a global problem.
And for YOUR benefit, if you have enough discipline to run your own business that happens to use the same type of technology. I suppose you consider the wireless connectivity you use every day to be a "rape of the commons" every time you connect to a web site that runs advertising in order to pay for their operations? Rape! Rape rape rape! Eeeeevil businesses doing things like... delivery antibiotics to your hospital. Rape rape rape!
Not sure how - as long as uber drivers get more money than taxi drivers there will be drivers - and since that's the case... In my area people use Lyft as much as Uber, and would use any other service of similar quality so its not like if there was a monopoly either. Heck we' use taxis if they didn't suck balls and costed 3x the price (yet drivers still get less money.. oh go figure!)
Pretty sure this just means better staffed PR team. All my Uber'ing has been flawless.. sure, every now and then ONE person will have an issue. Same with taxis. Same with anything.
It's just that the media will use anything for clickbait "these days".
The establishment has to answer the many complaints from the taxi unions despite (in France at least) one of the crapiest service in the world. Less working taxi leads to unemployment. And, to be fair, the requirements to become a taxi - would such requirement be relevant in the first place - are extremely heavy. All of a sudden Uber blooms everywhere and offers a service which is, actually, illegal in many countries. I'm glad Uber comes to balance the taxis monopoly, but all the aggressive and legal reactions against it were predictable.
I believe this is when the laws have to be changed - obviously these do not benefit the country, citizens or drivers. Only a minority. Oh of course, I know, dreams and stuff.
I spoke to hundred of Uber drivers about this here in SF (basically every ride I take..) - not a single one so far echo'd that stuff. I'm sure they could be paid more and have more advantage, but every single time they're telling me that they make more with Uber (even on 7USD pool rides, they get more than 7 USD) than they would with most jobs they could take at this time in their lives - certainly more than taxi drivers too!
So I don't know but that deal seems to work good enough for them.
well one advantage of uber is that you dont need to do anything. punch in destination done. no need to get your wallet out. no need to tell the driver how to get there or repeat the name of the street (which, as a foreigner, is quite nice for both parties). Finally, the service from uber drivers has been at least 1000% superior to any single freaking taxi ride i have ever taken. That last part is just crazy.
Dirty taxis, drivers bored to death and giving your attitude every now and then, or their opinion how everyone else drives like shit - no thanks. Sure it reflects their not-so-great work conditions. But Uber drivers (and others) are nearly always happy with a positive attitude, trying to be a nice person. Just for that i'd take them instead of taxis.
Err Windows contain a very good antivirus by default. Its actually better than anything you can buy. Not only that - but using Google-only products drives you to an ecosystem that is going to be worse than Windows ever was.
Arguably, Windows, will all of its shortcomings was and still is pretty damn open. Not in code, but in APIs, tools, etc. That's actually how it won so much marketshare in the 90's. (its now also getting more and more open in code, tho).
ChromeOS on the other end, is pretty closed. You want a kernel driver? Dream on. If you don't make your own hardware, or don't use Google-approved hardware, you're out of luck, it will not work and you can't make it work without rooting the machine (ie you can't sell or even give away that product to customers).
You want to customize some API? Dream on. This one is impossible without replacing the OS.
All this is trivial on Windows (and regular Linux, or even OSX, for example).
The difference in complex systems is that they do one thing and well inside of functions or classes or what not.
Its because its MUCH, MUCH, easier/faster to do it there, than make a complete program/progress and use sockets/pipes/what not to communicate with the other tool. So sometimes its still useful but most of the time its too much effort too little gain (heck, you also lose performance, time, etc.)

ethics != legality
its legal to be a total asshole. its not ethical.
There's a rewrite in progress, it's called Servo, if you want to check it out, it's actually really cool https://github.com/servo/servo
The problem isn't coal though, it's lithium batteries recycling or the lack thereof.
one stone 2 birds.

"The F35 seats make a bad squishing noise if you're under 200lbs and above 130lbs which maye distract the pilot and lead them to miss targets"
The whole thing is just a soap opera.
Something like that. I blame cats, though. They always fight foxes.
foxed that for you.
for their benefit
And for YOUR benefit, if you have enough discipline to run your own business that happens to use the same type of technology.

wat?
People buy way, way, way more phones and tablets than workstations. Intel will go where the market wants to go...

That sounds way too sane. If everyone does it, its normal.

Thats what Linus means as well, I think.
