It is striking how different the attitude to this is in Australia. All products and services in Australia need to be fit for purpose. There's no strict definition for this but it basically means if you are selling a "premium"

TLDR; Alexa will be proactive rather than just reactive but doesn't give any realistic examples of what that will look like.

They need to provide GAAP numbers and so long as everything else is clearly labeled (i.e. "non-GAAP"), there's no problems.

> Statistically, that should happen half the time. Uhh...no. Non-GAAP is financials manipulated against accounting standards to show a better picture. No company wants to show a worse picture.

I actually posted that Stack Overflow question and I don't think any of the answers support my assumption and your statement that it reduces the chance of failure. The EBS volume will still fail but you can restore it from the higher r

The market has built-in circuit breakers or collars to stop wholesale panic selling. It's basically a pause so everyone can stop and come to their senses. https://www.cnbc.com/2015/08/24/when-do-circuit-b

Even crazier, she just used Perl and SoX to extract the data. It's MacGyver-like stuff. Amazing.

RSU's and a salary bump are worthless if you don't like the culture of the company and leave after a few months.

Eh? The moat is their massive back-catalogue. One hit movie will get you precisely nowhere as a competitor.

Yes and no. Australia has mortgage brokers and financial institutions that collateralise or group loans for resale. We don't have equivalents for the government run Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac though.

Excellent point. I just wish they'd use the correct SI unit for this kind of thing - "libraries of congress".

I'm very happy for the kid and like the idea that these programs are available but does this incentivise companies to effectively outsource their bug finding? From a purely fiscal point of view, why hire expensive full time staff to go

Yeah the article is a bit of a miss. On Telstra 4G in Australia, you can regularly get >100Mbit/s and ~15ms latency. We've had this for a few years now.

As a consumer, isn't this a good thing?

Intrusion Detection Systems are basic network security 101 type stuff. I'd be surprised if anything that was really "high risk" didn't use an IDS.

Firewalls in high security environments aren't just port/protocol based. You lock everything down - source ip/port and destination ip/port. You should know where it is coming from and where it is going to. Navy ships don

Right so all the stars need to align for it to go unnoticed - compromised server, firewall and other alerting/monitoring tools. I would have thought one single unexpected packet in these high security environments would raise significa

Why aren't these attacks constrained by normal corporate firewalls? How does a random server on a navy ship start contacting baddie.china.com without raising red flags?

> their devices are expensive but made to last, and they directly support them for 4 or 5 years Do you think a $1,000+ phone lasting only "4 or 5 years" is really that good?

Hot and cold spares are rather wasteful. Just RAID1 and then use software (i.e. ceph) to make that redundant across multiple enclosures and ultimately, geographic zones/DC's.

True, however lots of large corporates won't use an unsupported version if the vendor drops it.

Why can't you code you implementation to safely ignore new protocol elements? They aren't asking you to support the new elements, just ignore them.

I don't think there is much benefit for the ML models when you have 10m vs say, 15m devices. The real reason is the land-grab. People are unlikely to have multiple vendors devices.

You are right but it will never happen. It only takes one country to break ranks and the game is back on again.

Good point. The Australian government banned Hauwei devices from being used in the large scale National Broadband Network. https://www.smh.com.au/world/north-america/chinese-firm-huaw...

I'm quite surprised that IBM has more market share than Google. Is there some legacy IBM stuff at play here?

Pardon my ignorance, but who is this? I can't find a name anywhere in the article?!
