You want to talk the talk about diversity and racial bias - hire minorities from within your own cities that you're currently located at and TRAIN them.
No no... better to leave the country because you can't find "good people" here in the US.
That's what it looks like. They probably can't fit that stupid faceId sensor on anything smaller.
But if they got rid of it - think how thin they could make the bezel!
Why go through the hassle of scrubbing the tables and special code hacks - when set for China just use a special emoji page that replaces the Taiwan flag with the China flag.
un-breaking a bug in many flat programs causes unexpected behavior due to other code relying on the defective logic's incorrect impact on some program state.
To be fair you have the same problem with encapsulation and output/results too. (A semi-infamous one being a fix to a Microsoft Office API to return data as it was spec'd in the docs not as it originally did and which many people coded to. Ironically rather than change the docs to match the code, MS did the opposite). The gist is the same tho - If you encapsulate your code into modules (IE Lego block style) any fixes you make are automatically picked up by the users with no action needed on their part.
Cloud computing has taken this to a wild extreme where encapsulation/modules are no longer "functions" or "libraries" but frameworks and services. Still suffering the same problems as before but now AT SCALE! (and dependency nightmares out the wazoo!)
Frankly it was that unlimited plan that kept me on AT&T. I only call distant family about twice a month and, even then, I'm texting them daily - so the "phone" portion of my plan has less and less worth to me. (I use iMessage in about 90% of my texting so I'm even on a "limited" texting plan of 200 messages at $5/month. Even if I go over - at.10/text I can do another 150 messages before I can justify the "unlimited" text package for $20/month!
I looked into dropping down to a non-unlimited data plan too but I average about 5gb month which, with cost overages comes in at around $55/month so even the increased $45/month unlimited old data plan is still the "best" plan!
Although adding tablets/watches to the grandfathered plan is tricky - though I've heard this has since been fixed.
I have the old "grandfathered" unlimited plan and was looking to switch to the new one as, I was told (from various articles/reviews on the internet) that it's better with unlimited calling and text too.
Not quite...
The cheaper plan throttles earlier. To get the numbers from my old plan I'd have to get the more expensive plan for $5 more a month than I'm currently playing. Not a bad trade-off but there's ONE more gotcha
The NEW unlimited plans will NOT allow the use of any corporate discounts. These are given out to companies that work closely with the phone company or provide a lot of customers. I get 12% off my grandfathered unlimited calling plan with it. But NOT the new one. So that $5 more becomes ~$15 more!
Pass.
WEP sank into the swamp
So we built WPA on top of it and it sank into the swamp
Then we build WPA2 on top of it and it caught fire and sank into the swamp
But WPA3.. WPA3 will stand the test of time!
Can we at least have a summary that's actually a summary of the article and not that poorly written first paragraph which comes off as so much techno-babble?
A multiscanner is a service like Google's VirusTotal that aggregates antivirus (AV) scanning engines into one big melting pot, allowing users to upload a suspicious file and scan it simultaneously on all the AV engines hosted on the service.
If at least one of the multiscanner's engines finds the file suspicious, the service shares the result among all AV companies, allowing cyber-security firms insight on new types of malware that their engines are not currently detecting.
On the other hand, a no-distribute scanner is a service similar to a multiscanner, only that its operators modify the AV engines so they cannot report back to their respective vendors, hence limiting their ability to see the malware uploaded on such a service.
Although I'm not really sure what the article's point is - that no-distribute scanners are mostly used by criminals and therefore should have an open API? That's like saying speakeasy's during prohibition should've posted their locations on local walls so everybody could share the info!
I'm not sure why this is a big deal. MS had the tech for this about 5 years (Send us a buncha 2d pictures and we'll turn it into a VR set) extrapolating to models isn't that far of a reach.
And don't forget the "personal computers" main selling point at that time was to play games. Commodore 64, Atari 400/800 and Coleco Adam (which at one time was going to be an "expansion" for the ColecoVision). Yes you could do programming (and I did) but the games were a major selling point.
So if the system crash you could still have a form of exchange to pay for services... Something that couldn't easily be copied or forged like metal or maybe certificates with highly detailed printing that could come in different denominations.
Years ago I had a talking Stitch doll (from Lilo and Sititch) that you could "talk" to and it would respond to simple questions. You could turn it on by pressing a leaf switch in his ear or it would listen for voice commands directed to him. Very cool, geeky toy, left it on the shelf and the batteries died and he stopped talking.
Until one night, had a bad thunderstorm and a lightning strike very close to the house (less than a second between lightning flash and thunder) lights flickered, static on the TV...
Almost immediately after, Stitch, on the shelf, said "I'm having a pretty good day".
Cue twilight zone music.
Facebook is STILL COLLECTING AND HARVESTING this data.
They promise that "non-permitted parties" will no longer be able to do this. But that doesn't mean that they've stopped doing this analysis nor that they will GIVE PERMISSION to companies/countries as they deem fit.
bleep boop TERMINATAH BOND! ...
Or worse it'll be a variant of Clippy.
