And some wonder why Google, etc might want to relocate to China or other countries...
Google hasn't even considered such a move because it would be downright idiotic for them.
Have you seen the clashes they having with the EU? Now imagine if the EU could tell them "tough shit" and they just had to comply. Not good for them. Have you even read about the problems in China? It wouldn't be any good to move your business to China if the government will just steal your IP and give it to a "real" Chinese company.
If you think Google is thinking about moving then you are about as informed as a Fox News Channel viewer.
People should really start taking up the examples of Virginian Democrats and stand fast - if Democrats can hold onto power after raping women and wearing a Klan hood...
Northram admitted that he wore blackface to mimic Michael Jackson for a dance competition (not wearing a klan hood) and they called for his resignation. Justin Fairfax's counter-claims are that it was consensual sex and is preparing to take the it to court if needed.
There actions have been widely condemned and are unlikely to serve another term. Nobody is thinking of them as heroes... except maybe the likes of you.
Please enlighten everyone about what happened to the corals in the Great Barrier Reed during the Medieval Warm Period. It was quite warm then, too, yet we still have plenty of corals today.
The Medieval Warm Period was a similar temperatures in the 1980s. It's gotten a lot warmer since then.
Corals have been around for 500 million years and countles cycles of warming and cooling cycles during that time.
Every prior warming and cooling cycle has happened over thousands of years which gave species the chance to adapt via genetic mutation over multiple generations. What makes this one so different is that this has happened in mere decades which has left no time for adaptation to occur.
The jobs of intelligence agencies is to keep us safe from foreign threats like China. For those who say, "oh how ironic" that is whataboutism because we're talking about China, an aggressive authoritarian nation with an awful humans right record (currently "re-educating" a million+ Muslims). If you are reading this then your country is likely either the US itself or a close ally of the US. Between trusting an ally and bellicose nation bent on expanding it's power at any cost, I will always opt for an ally.
In the context of Darwinism, those who refuse to vaccinate their children (and those who associate with such people) are unfit when it comes to genetic survival. I'm not saying it will be fast or clean but ultimately, this problem will solve itself.
If people don't wise up, I'm pretty sure there will be revenge killing where parents who refused to vaccinate their child are killed by the relatives of a child who died as a result. This could also result in possible sociological solution where doctors enable others to vaccinate children of anti-vaxxers on their own accord. Rights and laws are only honored when they make sense to the general public.
You humans are really silly. You solve a problem and then somehow make it a problem again.
If you are alarmed by this result then you should immediately be wondering: is this is merely a perception by IT/Security Professions or are the normal people in fact as awful as perceived?
A society that can't take edgelords in stride is pretty damn useless. Maybe the answer is to realize that humor, tasteless or otherwise, is unimportant, and let is pass.
And if it had no real world consequence then I would be on your side. However, hate crimes have been spiking and it turns out some edgelords aren't really being edgy at all. Should we just take people being murdered because of these internet clowns in stride?
It's too bad there's no way to block a cell phone signal without flooding the frequency range it uses! Strangely, I haven't heard Warden Faraday complain about rogue signals. I'm sure he just has the nicest inmates.;)
Charging people to protect them from the problem that they help create? Brilliant. Some one should find the executives from these companies and punch them in the face.
While it's good that they can intercept ICBMs, I suspect the only thing this will accomplish is spurring the development of anti-interception ICBMs. Naturally, development on anti-anti-interception ICMBs. The perpetual development of intercept and anti-intercept technology will continue back and forth ad nauseam.
I sure hope they build this thing using a 3d game engine or something before they build a single part of it because not doing so could lead to some unfortunate discoveries during construction.
However, the most realistic form of AI that we're going to interact with in the near future, works more like the Mechanical Turk: humans trying to fool humans into thinking that the puppet is life-like and has agency of it's own, while they pull the strings in the shadows.
You're not wrong. However, with neural networks and experience based learning, we are in fact moving ever closer to ultimate goal: giving agency to a machine. The real problem right now is that we don't really know the underlying concept that gives rise to agency. It might be a hundred years until we finally crack it but in the mean time we are going to make some badass puppets that eliminate many jobs previously relegated to humans.
Plenty were quick to dismiss the prior plastic trap with quips and I-told-you-sos but science doesn't mean you get it right on your first try, it means you make you best guess, observe the result and modify/refine your answer. This is science and this is how science progresses, not by leaps and bounds but by millimeters.
Cars are computers. Just like any computer, if you don't wipe the data then it will retain the data as it's designed to do. The same is true of PC, HDDs/SSDs, tablets, smartphones, smartTVs, SD cards, USB sticks and really anything else with a FLASH memory.
The fact that people are surprised by this just shows that far too many people are ignorant of the fact that they are surrounded by computers.
Come on, they've been screaming about this vulnerability on Slashdot for literally hundreds of minutes. If they haven't exploited it by now then what are the chances they are going to all of the sudden change their minds and start exploiting it in the future?;)
How is that "undocumented" other than Intel only provides the docs to paying developers?
Any documentation about it is only available to under NDA and only for motherboard manufacturers. As such, information about it is unable to enter the public sphere so much so that even OS developers are unaware of it's very existence. It seems to be tightly coiled with IME so the only thing more secret than Intel VISA (that we know of) is the CPU microcode.
No, it doesn't. You took the word of an Intel spokesperson over a hackers, seriously?
You should have kept reading:
"Customers who have applied those mitigations are protected from known vectors," the company said.
However, in an online discussion after his Black Hat talk, Ermolov said the Intel-SA-00086 fixes are not enough, as Intel firmware can be downgraded to vulnerable versions where the attackers can take over Intel ME and later enable VISA.
Furthermore, Ermolov said that there are three other ways to enable Intel VISA, methods that will become public when Black Hat organizers will publish the duo's presentation slides in the coming days.

Clearance is basically worthless. Anybody planted will get a clearance
The basic purpose of a clearance is to ensure the individual is not any easy mark for another country to exploit.
Seriously, we need to drop all of these idiotic private companies doing clearance duty. We are getting far too many ppl that do not belong.
Absolutely! The next thing you know, they'll be letting in idiots that won't even type out entire words! -_-
Instead of wondering how to pronounce it, we should be asking "who gives a shit?" This argument was all the rage in the BBS days, in 1989.
Exactly! We need to be asking the tough modern day questions that really matter to everyone like, "is it better to use Vi or Emacs?" ;)

Seriously, does anyone here actually care? If so, why do you care? Do you feel his compensation insufficient for the game?
51 vulns? So what? I mean, it's not like someone could use this to exploit millions upon millions of handheld computers, right? right? guys? -_-
Censorship is handicapping.
You need to have a long conversation with a dictionary. -_-
Access to Tor has not been blocked and that's the point.
Not here.
Feel free to lodge your complaints with the governments that do.
I am fully aware of psychological frailties, but appointing the Handicapper General is not the cure.
That's so far off base that I'm embarrassed for you. Nobody is being handicapped.
As long as the market is open and universally accessible (dumb pipe), not subject to arbitrary authority, I will go along with that.
Great. Support net neutrality.
But as long as anybody has the power to shut them/you down...
The laws of physics ensure someone will always be able to take away your rights using brute force. Perfect is the enemy of good.
