"Atomic Accidents: A History of Nuclear Meltdowns and Disasters: From the Ozark Mountains to Fukushima" by James Mahaffey is another enlightening source on what and why goes and could go wrong.
It was likely more tha just his knowledge of checklist. As far as I understand the "runaway trim" checklist refers only to trim wheel turning continuously, while in MCAS case it turns a bit then stops, but restarts when reset by pilot. This misleads. Third pilot seems to have been the person under the least stress and had enough time to analyze symptom and associate it with "runaway trim" procedure that calls for disabling the trim system.
That flight was saved by the third pilot (non-flying) who was in a jump seat and could afford the luxury of observation from the side. The two flying pilots were busy with instruments and plane systems. It has nothing to do with experience.
Relax, LA is not enforcing data sharing on all scooter manufacturers, this is just for the rental companies that offer scooters within that specific city.
Sadly some bank employees often do not even attempt to analyse anything. They spend the smallest amount of time/effort to finish the task, for example forward some data without validating it.
There are numerous cases where banks freeze people's account for debt recovery, while the original order was on a different person with the same name. You would think this should never happen as there is (on order and in accoint) a lot of additional information that should match in order to validate the order, such as birthdate, official address, ID, yet time and time again bank employees just click on the first account that comes up in "search for first name last name" field in their system.
It takes months to correct such mistake (and get access to your money), as when you raise the problem the bank will go full "let's do it totally formally now like an insurance company" way with YOU having to convince the system it is their mistake.
Dropbox was integrated as "remote/cloud drive" with Android phones. Samsung had promotions on extra storage. A number of applications support this integration (like KeyPass). It was used as a file-sharing service, not colaboration, while FTP could be great there, it doesn't handle gracefully variants of blocked ports and NAT (and no easy interface for shared file permissions). Short: people used it and got used to it.
A (probably) more important reason would be that Dropbox is a single service company. Unlike Google or Microsoft they will not be able to easily corelate EVERYTHING you do with the additional file sharing/coediting activities, especially between users (as opposed to between devices of the same user).
Do not equate high price = high care. 1M$ price might mean NOTHING to a private buyer who just wanted to show-off or has a temporary hobby/fad then gets bored with the purchase.
"A content provider fom my company is reported multiple times. He crashes and burns with his channel locked. Now, should we initiate a rescue effort? Take the number of views, A, multiply by income per view, B, multiply by average time to resolve, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than cost of lawyers and PR, we don't do one."
Ever since IMDB dumped down the drain all the accumulated invaluable information about old/obscure/non-Holywood movies you could find on their forums I stopped visiting/using them. Most of the other information can be now looked up on Wikipedia and other sources.
USA (and affiliate) spies must have already had the same information. In a way the Chinese (or whoever really was behind the hack) just equalized the situation. Likely neither gathered it in a fully legal way (it's not exclusively USA laws that apply worldwide).
Of course USA is not above making fake brands. That country ignored the real "Havana Club" rum and trademark (despite registration in USA by Cuba), and apparently there is a fake "Havana Club" rum manufactured in Puerto Rico only for sale in USA. USA went as far as make a special law, just for this trademark, so the fake is legal there.
Oh, and USA has fake Budweiser!
Seems to be a bit of hypocrisy in considering the other (legal) Supreme brand as a fake. Trademark law is complex and convoluted...
Come on, "Anarchist Cookbook" is well below 300MB;-)
Internet was already available in Cuba, just not through mobile connection. You would know where the hotspots are when you saw large number of people lost in their smartphones. Everywhere else you would see normal human interactions. Sadly with 3G the streets of Cuba may start to look just more like USA cities, with people interacting more with their phones, less with other people.
Teenagers should make an obligatory 2-week tour to Cuba to learn what it is like to live without everything they take for granted.
They have thousands of products, running many different systems/codes. This is not seven backdoors in one product or one OS. Cisco also acquires a lot of companies - some of the past backdoors were disovered after internal Cisco check revealed them post acquisition.
As a special customer service, and to improve the overall security of the Internet, Cisco may offer customers free software updates to address high-severity security problems. The decision to provide free software updates is made on a case-by-case basis. Refer to the Cisco security publication for details. Free software updates will typically be limited to Critical and High severity Cisco Security Advisories.
Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerability described in this advisory. Customers may only install and expect support for software versions and feature sets for which they have purchased a license.
They do a reasonable thing on support side by the look of it.
Intelligence obtained from "just chats with old friends" can be just as valuable as from classified communication. Who are the friends? Which one could extract some additional information in "just chat"? Who has influence over president?
The "secured landline" would be likely used for communicating with other secured lines and blocked from calling regular ones.
Now please download and install this attached "supercontrol.dll" upgrade for your Linux, it will improve your mileage, trust me! What could be the problem?
I did read it through, just found it more interesting that definition gets flattened to a universal number (>11USD). Full written definition looks very reasonable and makes more sense when used locally - applied to a country or even down to a region.
This was not testing blast effects or radiation effects but thermal effects. They wouldn't need to use a real nuclear bomb for such specific test like thermal protection for military objects outside of fireball range. In the video the person from MOD mentions that the blast might have damaged the object/Starlite anyway. Starlite was not protection against nuclear bomb explosion.

Guess what, EU and car manufacturers are not going to pay for all these new obligatory systems!

Your translation of [1] is wrong.

The goal is not to make life easier for user, but for Google.

Google pain here is not that news sites lose viewers, but that in turn Google's user tracking and ad revenue (from those news sites) will go down.
Yes, but in a beta or an instrumented version, with explicit user consent.

Same old, same old...
It's interesting to consider voice as the pointing device is the future. "Enhance 224 to 176." was visionary to large extent.
Question is fairly USA-centric.
Elsewhere banks introduce their own payment systems (working within the country), apparently to avoid paying fees for Visa/Mastercard/Google/Apple/Paypal processing.

It seems that programmers put hardcoded accounts for testing purposes and did not remove them from production code.
