Did not know about the tide pods. Human stupidity is truly unlimited...
On a side-note, there are certainly no less smart and capable young people around than in other generations. But they always were few and that has not changed. The rest is now addicted to the organized dementia most of social media inspires.
The only thing they care about is distributors. Well, guess what, the Swiss government asked some actual scientists for an analysis whether "piracy" harms creators and it found a small positive effect instead. As a result, downloading for private use is legally tolerated.
I see no need. Much of the youth of today will just annihilate themselves. Skill? What skill? We can stand by and watch and then continue with business as usual.
I don't think it is laziness. I think it is plain incompetence. These people cannot really code and hence they need all these features to get anything to work at all. Of course, they also do not know how things actually work under the hood and they have zero understanding of security, nicely leading to the mess we can observe almost everywhere.
But then, if you get competent coders, you may actually have to pay them like the qualified engineers they are. "Management" cannot have that. A coder may actually earn _more_ than a manager with this! The sky would be falling!
If XML has been designed by people that actually understand security, if _could_ have fixed the issue. But all the security-ignorant masses of developers ever want is features, features and more features. They would probably have rejected an actually secure XML.
Most secure coding these days still boils down to "you have to know what you are doing". I don't see that changing anytime soon. Brooks famous statement "There is no silver bullet" still applies and will continue to apply for a long, long time.
Well, that will stop facebook. It will do absolutely nothing for other sources of lies, most problematic among them the candidates and political parties themselves.
No, it cannot do that. And the candidates in any modern election are the main source of misinformation, i.e. lies. The only thing they are pissed about is that they lost control of the fairy-tales that people believe, not that they are fairy-tales.
That is the only reasonable conclusion from this extreme level of insecurity. They probably have some of these seven that are actual screw-ups (very, very bad) and certainly some that were placed intentionally (even worse). The only valid conclusion is to not buy from them, as they are even too stupid to hide intentional backdoors well...
Not on the MS business side. They are still shoveling in the cash with a very large excavator. When the buyer is terminally stupid, crappy quality can dominate the market.
Yep. And since they do not bleed customers with their current bad product, why should they improve anything? In fact, many of those getting screwed over still claim to love having that done to them.

This seems to be a US problem. Late to the game and trouble getting it to work? Not good.
Good question.
Basically you can simulate weather, nuclear bombs and a few other things, but that is it.

Based on what exactly?
They have eyes and working intelligence. You seem to be lacking either or both.
The drone-cretin should at the very least be heavily fined for this.
I see no need. Much of the youth of today will just annihilate themselves. Skill? What skill? We can stand by and watch and then continue with business as usual.
And because of idiots like you, the US will get an UBI far, far too late.
And there you nicely show that you are part of the problem, because you completely misidentified the issue.
The news here is that we have _still_ not managed to assure any level of real skill in the people writing software. This cannot continue.
The problem with deserialization is that it gives tools to fools and makes them more dangerous fools as a consequence.
In the hands of an expert, it is just a feature that is nice to have. But most people writing software are not experts.

Hit a nerve there, haven't I?

With one, yes. With two, maybe. With 7, definitely foul play, no other explanation.
Seven. Incredible. Other systems with really bad security have one.

Indeed. Stupidity of the crowds at work. Not the only indicator though.
