It's not just the training, the thing that really struck me is:
Ships steaming in crowded waters like those near Singapore and Tokyo will now broadcast their positions as do other vessels.
So when the entire world is relying on AIS to avoid collisions, the US navy isn't providing that in the middle of busy shipping lanes? It's a fscking aircraft carrier, how invisible is that going to be when it's going through the Singapore strait? Turn on AIS in busy areas and you won't need to go back to pencil and paper...
No, you don't understand. You're thinking of Rust as a programming language when in fact it's a religion. Every time there's some post about bugs, flaws, or bad code, the Rust flakes turn up to enlighten the heathens with their religion/language with its guarantee of perfect, error-free code and operation. All hail the mighty Rust! Lead us into the light of your perfection!
Patent examiners are remunerated based on how many patents they grant. Disallow a large number of patents because they're trivially obvious and you lose pay, or possibly get fired. Rubberstamp everything that crosses your desk and you get a performance bonus.
This is not a system that produces good/valid patents.
Also... they studied Javascript. Probably 80% of the bugs would have gone away if they'd gone with someone who doesn't do their development in Javascrpt.
TrustZone is a terrible architecture. It started as a hash-for-secure-boot and then had more and more crap bolted onto it without rhyme or reason as the marketing folks sold it as all things to all people, with most of what was bolted on only partly finished or debugged, if that. The OPs suggestion that it be rebranded as ClusterFuck isn't too far off the target, because that's what it's turned into.
Also, if they were testing it on the "top five browsers", why was Firefox included in the list? That's barely a blip in the market any more, and will be even less so after November.
And I really can't imagine having my database in the cloud, it just sounds hideous.
A great many databases are in the cloud these days. Equifax, OPM, Ashley Madison, Friend Finder, RockYou, TJ Maxx, Heartland, Sony Pictures, Card Systems, Target, Yahoo, and many more.
They also get all of HTC's licensed agreements too. IIRC HTC had licensing deals for IP with Nokia, Microsoft, and Apple.
I doubt that's the case, unless they had some really odd licensing agreements. Licenses are (almost) always written to be non-transferrable for exactly this reason, so $bigcompany can't acquire them through the back door by buying $smallcompany.
I once scanned my computer and found nearly a dozen viruses, which panicked me for awhile. It was OK though, managed to rewrite them a bit so a later scan found zero again.
While administrator access is needed to execute a Bashware attack, this is fairly easily obtained
Really? that sounds like more of a problem than some particular tool....
It's a classic example of a Raymond Chen airtight hatchway attack. In order to carry out an attack with admin privs, you first need to be admin. And then a sign lights up in black on a black background telling you you've done it.
I think she was actually a pretty good choice from Equifax' point of view. They have a security officer [check] who's a woman [check], and now all the appropriate checkboxes are filled they can move on to filling in positions that really matter to them, marketing, revenue-gathering, lobbyists, etc.
It's pretty straightforward, it means that it'll have the same security as the mass of malware, trojans, droppers, bots, and worms that have made the web what it is today.
I have always thought ReactOS was a good idea, but it seems like it's way too late now. It has been in development for so long that it is probably arguable that it's usefulness has been passed by.
Well, I dunno, once it hits 1.0 you could run Xanadu on it.
I doubt it. If you read the specs, its just a generic mobile phone CPU/baseband as made by any number of other vendors. The "AI" is pure marketing, it's no more, or less, "AI" than a Z80. All this is saying is that just as Apple, Samsung, etc brought their processors in-house, so Huawei is doing it too.

"this knife is dirty, I want another"
I will not buy this record, it is scratched. Do you want to come back to my place, bouncy bouncy?
It's OK, it had just slipped down behind the sofa. Should have checked there in the first place.
Oh, and we also found a pile of spare change, and Obama's original birth certificate.
Wow, someone is still taking this seriously???
It's a pretty accurate depiction of an encounter with a typical Rust flake if you ask me.
US Studying Ways To End Use of Social Security Numbers For ID
Am I the only one who's immediate reaction to that is "Well, no shit, Sherlock".
the largest data breach in history
And then two stories down there's:
Yahoo Triples Estimate of Breached Accounts To 3 Billion
So now 140M > 3B? In fact there are a number of breaches larger than the Equifax one.

Nahh, it's just the K Foundation again, but they're having trouble finding a firelighter.

It's OK, there's a second backup located here, and those guys never delete anything, ever.
Here's one good use for it.

The hammer is usually the wrong tool.
Especially when it's combined with the sickle.
Me too. Where do I stand in line for it?
