SA power prices are some of the most expensive in the world. At one point they were the most expensive. Minimal interconnection has driven up the price, gold plating of the distribution network and generators that game the market to get maximum price.
Ultimately the cost of privatisation. This battery is well overdue and has effectively handicapped existing generators from gaming the market.
If you are going to build such munitions and store them, it's your responsibility to secure them. Attributing blame on Assange isnt logical. Unknown hackers breached US security and had these tools. The responsible thing was to make the world know they're in the wild.
So far Kim has done Jack all, but thrown a few insults and made threats. The NSA in its irresponsible handling of sensitive data and munitions has cost the Americans much more indirectly.
That's a great story but not the typical scenario that this article is focused on.
All startups promise to be profitable. Delivering an "actual" profit/return is a point of maturity, where the business is self sustainable. Subsequent capital raising
past this point, doesn't magically make it a startup again. That's a ridiculous claim.
Having the BDADDR enhances the attacks, by making it easier to connect to targets. The vulnerabilities are still needed, so the app should be checking SW builds/versions. One would hope the app is as sophisticated as the work gone into this discovery/release.
Your CFO is redefining "Startup". Purposeful Reinvestment doesn't justify Startup status. If that were the case Amazon would still be "Startup" 10+ years according to your CFO.
The concept is pretty well established.
Put simply if the business isn't relying on seed or other capital investment for operations and expansion then you can't call it a "startup". Put it another way, if revenue is sustaining operations and expansion, it's not a startup. Once you hit that benchmark you are a regular enterprise from that point on.
I wouldn't say sewn up... rather just the last to die a slow death... They're looking good now as DSE and smaller players have died out. But they still have Harvey Norman to compete with. If they think they're going to be somehow exempt from the market pressures that killed off the rest, they're truly delusional.
Maybe they realise that, as they they've expanded their range to cover whitegood and other home appliances.
PAC Javascript isn't evaluated every time. IE uses APRC to cache results per host (not URL), so this significantly diminishes the capabilities of this exploit. To make this exploit work to the degree claimed, requires APRC to be disabled, which I suspect might have been done here.

Correct this is a transmission capacity problem. The is ample local generation capacity, but the generators aren't interested. Why would they...There is no market incentive to increase cost for no extra profit.
Transmission and generation was privatised in South Australia in the 90's.
The conservative government of the time provided the transmission lessee a 99 year lease with a guaranteed return. Failures in the agreement have permitted the lessee to "gold plate the network" to their advantage/profit as the cost is recovered from consumers.
Electricity have since steadily increased to a level 2-3 times, where it's often cited as the most expensive in the world. Going off grid might work short term, but as that gains popularity, the burden of the transmission lease on the remaining few, will force the government to charge every property a supply charge.
The subsequent price increases, combined with the (national) RET scheme, have driven a massive adoption of solar in SA. The RET also fueled a massive increase in wind farm investment, but it's important to understand that scheme is a national scheme.
The third factor is the main interconnector to Victoria is being upgraded and presumably offline or running at reduced capacity.
The four factor is the recent shut down of the pt Augusta Coal plant that one served the majority of state. It was switched off last month.
Fifth factor is recent cold weather has increased demand.
It's important to appreciate the it's a combination of all these factors that have put the state in this predicament. Not just an abundance of renewable electricity.
Why it's only now made the news is because industry and retailers that normally get it wholesale for $50/MWh and lockin consumers at 30-40c at KWh [600-800% markup] are now losing money as these spikes get bigger and more common.
As the current treasurer pointed out, the markets are failing as there is no incentive to put on more transmission capacity and that has largely protected the remaining duopoly baseload generators who are cashing in.
SA just needs transmission capacity. Either interstate or to the northern geothermal sites.
In SA they're 35-40c allowing for the exchange rate. The bulk of that is transmission costs, which is the result of privatisation in the 90's. Subsequent gold plating of the network was blamed, but that hasn't prevented the numerous blackouts due to weather etc over the last few weeks.
If it was 1960. UK manufacturing is a faction of what it was. Post WWII the Brits exported huge volumes to commonwealth countries and they also controlled large stakes in foreign industries. Here in Australia the Brits owned all the stevedores, and big chunk of manufacturing. They had it all locked up. Between entering the EU and losing control of the Australian dollar, the Brit's cashed out to the US and Asia, but they never replaced that manufacturing capacity at home or abroad.
Brexit will solve the immigrant problem, but the cost will be very dear for an economy of services, rent seekers and consumers.
Except this is the commonwealth government which has the power of compulsory acquisition. This is normally enacted by the federal government, but state enact it also. Allows the government to acquire property (not just land, but whole banks) for the government's needs on just terms (market value). In this case it would be very little.

G Suite is a separate code base. And it often lags Gmail developments. There are some exemptions to this, but it's a common complaint.
This yet again puts Amazon ahead of rival Google in the smart home and digital assistant fields...... in the handful of countries that are supported.
Meanwhile Google Assistant has no geoblocking.

The NSA was checking everyone's front door, so they could gain access "if" they ever needed to, but claiming they have your interest at heart.
