I prefer carbon-neutral, fully organic and analog "Doom is here!" signs held on the street corner. Mathematical formulas have too much negative impact on the environment.
One possible reason - compliance. Many frameworks explicitly call for anti virus software, if you don't have it then you can't get certified. Meaning less secure platform would be used because it has AV to checkbox the requirement.
From the linked article: "The malware collected information such as computer name, a list of installed software, a list of running processes, MAC addresses for the first three network interfaces, and unique IDs to identify each computer in part. Researchers noted that the malware only ran on 32-bit systems."
Someone capable of poisoning signed downloads (high complexity) should be able to select functional payload (low complexity). I don't see any alternative explanation to "ran on 32-bit systems" limitation other than incompetence. This doesn't add up.
If we are honest, merit was always secondary consideration. Before recent diversity at all costs push, it was connections and schmoozing that got unqualified males promoted to the top. It isn't structurally different from what is going on right now. The key difference is that today unqualified candidates mistakenly believe they can actually make decisions, while in the past they mostly worked on putting away hard liquor before lunch, and played golf all afternoon.
Clearly, the root cause here is cat parasites that impaired judgement of the board and execs to ignore basic security practices in a trust and consumer data line of business. It is like mice getting attracted to cat urine smell, only with your financial information.
I don't accept this answer. We have https://www.wolframalpha.com/ that attempts to do just that, Google with its unlimited resources could do more and better. I think the real problem with lack of progress in this area is that Google is perfectly happy with staying Digital Yellow Pages, as this provides maximum revenue. If they start answering questions, it will cost them clicks and page views.
What he's saying is that Google will be likely accused of victim-blaming and perpetuating gender stereotypes no matter which kind of arguments they will use to defend themselves, even if those arguments are actually correct and show no pay discrimination took place.
Exactly. There is just no good outcomes for Google no matter what they do and this is entirely their own doing. If they settle, even without admission of guilt, it will be open season with frivolous discrimination lawsuits on them. If they go to trial and fight this aggressively, they be exposed for hypocrisy and likely end up losing in courts to memo guy; if they go to trial and fight this by citing generic statistics, they will still get accused of fighting aggressively and may lose the fight, and that lead to open season on them.
It will be absolutely hilarious to watch Google defend against this in courts. After all, we all got the memo that victim-blaming and perpetuating gender stereotypes goes against Google's core values.
How would you feel if you were labeled conservative-hater and banned from/. just for that? If you really want to indulge in some conservative-bashing you can still get your fix on Reddit.
One of the reasons I keep using Windows Phone is ability to fine-tune access to GPS and Contacts. More so, I can additionally turn off GPS for everything via easily accessible drop down setting menu.
While agree that Symantec should be taken behind a shed and shot right away, if we do it this way ricochet will hurt a lot of innocent businesses that have nothing to do with this. Year gives them barely enough time to move out of the way.
Seeing browser hijack and concluding your machine was pwned isn't unreasonable. Injection by ISP is such sacrilege that it isn't something most techies would check as the first step.

The only reasonable solution here is to jail Nick Sweeting for fraud.
Whatever it takes, couldn't be worse than filing TPS reports and answering to 9 bosses.
I, for one, welcome our new AI overlords as part of my adaptation strategy.
Hi, I am fully illiterate and can't read or write. Could someone please make a video to summarize the results of this survey?

I hope they enjoy their 20 silver. Assholes.
I mean deleting thumbnail cache? That's idiotic!
Not if you frequently view, obviously for research purposes, pornographic materials that normally reside on an encrypted drive.

Thing is, this is what 'next quarter' corporate culture rewards - accountants and lawyers cooking books and lobbying for government handouts.

Little do they know, I intend to show my ass to this facial recognition tech.

I would go even one step further, would it work with glasses that have eyes painted on them?

Overly harsh.
The better explanation for the decreased crime rate is the explosion in private gun ownership.
I think even better explanation is an increase in per capita cheese consumption.
