It is enough to make some medium confidence claims for ages 105 to 120 or so (no idea what the maximum age was they had in significant numbers, i.e. >100 or so). Incidentally, you are not only stupid but uneducated. "Opinion polls" are something fundamentally different.
Well, yes. And there is no possible test to find out whether the model holds past 120 or so (too few/no samples). For example, if there was a hard cut-off at 130 that does not have a large influence before 125, this would not even show up.
But essentially it comes down to people not understanding exponential decrease and reading things into this study that are not there.
For the case where somebody has a shell or somebody screwed up web-application security, encryption is worthless assuming the data gets accessed. If it does not get accessed, it qualifies as "backup". Encryption only protects data that is not in use. If you put confidential data on s3 for other purposes than encrypted backup, you deserve all the hurt that is coming your way.
It just shows that you can nice-looking mathematical models that even seem to fit the available data, yet are completely wrong nonetheless. Amateurs at work.
I would make that 2^115. I would also call them amateurs, calling them statisticians is an insult to statisticians, at least if the story is basically right.
They basically abused mathematics until they had the completely contra-factual statement they wanted. This just shows that some people make very bad mathematical models.
"the research looks to statistics"... It seems these people do not know how to do statistics, like at all. They would just need to count the people 150 years old and older and they would immediately see a sample size of zero. That passes basically any sane test for the statement "there is a hard upper bound to ageing".
OI don't know why otherwise sane and smart people lose it completely when it comes to aging. Yes, you will grow older and yes, you will die it it will probably be long before reaching 110 years. So what? Deal with it. That is how things are set up this life. Using fake mathematics will not help, but will waste some of the time you have.
Sure, you need storage encryption. It is just rare that it helps for this type of problem, because these "other breaches" are very rare exceptions. They typically involve laptops getting stolen or backup media getting disposed of insecurely.
Incidentally, "breeches" are a type of riding pants.
Bloody amateurs with delusions. I am sick and tired of you fuckups. Of course, some of you know you know nothing and pay my pretty nice salary, so there is that.
The root cause is almost universally utterly clueless management. Whether it is by hiring people that cannot do the job, ignoring warnings or actively preventing competent people from fixing problems, it always comes down to failures in "leadership".
Pretty much this. Nobody would pay _this_ much for exploits for anything that was easy to attack. There is a good chance they will not actually get many exploits and probably nothing at all in the higher classes. Otherwise they would not offer this much.
It is funny however, how some completely clueless morons here think this somehow says these OSes are inferior or that exploits in this price-range will ever be used for mass-attacks.
But apparently some people still think passwords are a nuisance and need to be circumvented. Of curse, you have to be extremely stupid to think that. Looks like management hired the cheapest morons they could get.
No problem with that. Unfortunately, Capitalism does not work either. Or in actual fact, having one or a group of morons with big egos and small skill running a country does not work.
I agree. Competition is good. And the only things I have tied to a specific CPU architecture is MS Office (for working on customer documents) and games. Hopefully that will change as well.
I don't think there is anything they can do. Eventually, they will share the x86 market with AMD about even and maybe even some additional manufacturers. And they will come under increasing pressure from ARM, or at least Intel will. AMD does make ARM chips, even if not at volume at the moment.
It is the typical way giants fail: By sleeping, sleeping, sleeping, until they find that they are not very relevant anymore.

What is really going on here is that the model is obviously broken.

Encryption does not help. These databases are _online_ when they get stolen. This is not somebody walking into a data-center and stealing disks.

Indeed. Eat your own dog food or stop claiming it is delicious.

Firing people increases stock prices (traders are idiots...), so that may work out just fine for them.
But apparently some people still think passwords are a nuisance and need to be circumvented. Of curse, you have to be extremely stupid to think that. Looks like management hired the cheapest morons they could get.
Or maybe some cutting-edge research on how to improve his product was the problem?
Blocking it and cracking it a two very different things.
No problem with that. Unfortunately, Capitalism does not work either. Or in actual fact, having one or a group of morons with big egos and small skill running a country does not work.
I do not care to educate you here, read up on the subject yourself.
I agree. Competition is good. And the only things I have tied to a specific CPU architecture is MS Office (for working on customer documents) and games. Hopefully that will change as well.
You mean like Microsoft? You have a point.
Well, anybody who has not at least one deranged troll stalker clearly has nothing worthwhile to say. So thanks for validating me.
They can add cores, but it will not matter much. Most workloads are not core-limoted these days.
