Insurance companies, by and large, are gate keepers to capital. The "best" have a lot of highly innovate algorithms, machine learning, and data collection, but they're all designed to maximize the profit of the company by acc

All of the assets you have in Robinhood aren't actually held by Robinhood; they're held by Apex, which is a huge firm that many companies use. If Robinhood goes down, your assets are still with them and there'd be some reason

I don't think you can say "Apple doesn't innovate" and then list not updating their desktops as proof. Pushing incremental updates to computer hardware isn't innovation. Its iteration. Its something HP and Dell do.

Its obvious why this is happening; some form of statistical modeling or AI correlated having a hotmail account with being higher risk. This is a serious problem with all AI that makes decisions like this. Having a Hotmail account is a sympt

Pay $700 upfront and that value translates into the used market when you sell the car. Subscription fee, and that money goes straight to BMW Corporate.

I personally strongly dislike GraphQL between internal services. GraphQL is amazing when your service has to respond to unpredictable queries, like with a public API. But if the queries can be predicted, like in-between services, you lose a

Intel is a hot mess even without these security disasters. Just look at their product release lifecycle: In years past, they'd get maybe one extra product release off each new arch (tick/tock); for example, Sandy Bridge bore Ivy B

That doesn't mean JWTs are bad; it just means their use case is more restrictive. JWTs are designed for sessions; think Google API tokens that have a validity of 1 hour. If you're using them for anything longer than that, then you

Destroy Evidence is strong phrasing. The evidence still exists, its just no longer within the scope of the police warrants. My interpretation of the article is that the information is all stored on Uber's US-based servers and the tool

Sounds like F-Secure is just trying to say "Yeah we do security research too, remember we exist." Basically they are saying that their "exploit" requires physical access to a device and an incompetent administrator. What

This is confusing. Does the exploit really entirely hinge on administrators not changing the default password? How the hell is that an exploit? Is F-Secure just trying to ride the hate-Intel Meltdown bandwagon?

> There is a variety of CPUs. There certainly are, but generally they are the same within the same "class" (ie t2, c5, etc). Example: - C5: 3.0Ghz custom Xeon processors. - C4: Xeon E5-2666 v3 - C3: Xeon E5-2680 v2 - X1/X1

Theoretically, it isn't. In actuality, and in our experience, there are a lot of compliance standards where just saying "we're on AWS" gets you 90% of the way toward acceptance. Its mostly buzzword compliance.

Technically, you pay for both time (hours on) and CPU Usage (instance tier). Its not like different instance tiers (at least in the same class) use fundamentally more or less powerful processors. They all use the same processors, you just g

To be honest, its very hard to tell from the article. I get the feeling Uber is covering something up. The hacker definitely downloaded files, but Uber also asked him to download production data to confirm the hack (um, what?) Uber escala

Yeah that can work as well. In general, though, I prefer absolutely strict isolation between environments. In our deployments, this goes all the way to having separate GCP Projects for each environment. This has as much to do with kubernete

If you're developing a service architecture that runs in kube on production, you want to emulate that as close as possible locally. I'm more of the opinion that devs should just have access to a kube "cluster" (maybe jus

There is nothing in my comment to suggest I hold the opinion that everyone who has a positive opinion about what happened didn't read the document. Rather, I just stated a fact: Very few people read it, relative to the number of people

The document went through multiple layers of abstraction. Very few people actually read it. Instead, some news outfit reported on it relatively accurately, then a less scrupulous outfit wanted clicks so they sensationalize it, then a third

Maybe the difference is that Apple has, recently, been announcing products well in advance of their official release date. We knew about the HomePod and the iMac Pro months before they failed to be released on the date promised. Maybe nothi

If they need help, they should look at Google's release. Despite effectively saying the same thing, Intel's is disgusting and defensive, like a guilty man in a police interview yelling "I didn't do it!" Google'
