Almost none of those questions were about AWS cybersecurity.

That's unrelated to backdoors (deliberate covert access mechanisms). All parties with access to data, regardless of whether it is via a backdoor, can put that data at risk due to their own security.

Neither of these hacks involved "back doors" as they are normally defined. One was an authentication bypass; the other was a supply chain attack. Neither involved any sort of deliberate covert access mechanism.

Yes. 2000 IU and 5000 IU daily are common recommendations from medical groups in the USA.

Glad they skipped the 4000-series branding. Now we can look forward to next year's release of the 5700XT CPU to pair with the current 5700XT GPU.

IBM is just a conglomerate of neglected acquisitions that share branding ("watson" etc.). It hasn't been a single coherent company in decades.

This is promising technology, but the words "just barely statistically significant" should probably be in the first paragraph of articles covering this - not halfway down the article.

That's an impressively long list but some of those entries are a bit of a stretch. Google Nexus, for example, was rebranded as Google Pixel. Most people wouldn't describe rebranding as "killing" a product.

Currencies that are worth $1 more or less should round cash transactions to the nearest 10¢. Then we could simplify coinage considerably and we would all save time waiting in line for people to count out pennies and nickels over amounts tha

True, but they don't need to relate 16384 types of data. It sounds like they were using one column per record, rather than one row per record. So if they had a sensible data model 2000 columns should be more than sufficient.

Those tax negotiations regarded high pay white collar jobs. We are talking about warehouse work here.

That quote is not in the article and is not even true (Amazon does not own the Post, and FISA warrants are legal). Where did you get that nonsense?

Employees are not neighbors. Employees are responsible for negotiating their compensation (both monetary and non-monetary). It is absolutely appropriate to use information about others' compensation when negotiating for your own compen

"Reducing our payment processing costs" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

How do you measure your customer support staff performance? Many companies fire employees for having "low numbers" but since they can't measure tone, they end up driving their reps to optimize for other factors.

Correct. Uber drivers should play by the same health insurance rules as other workers. And under today's laws that requires they become employees. Ideally health insurance should be decoupled from employment status, but until then, we

We should all care. Uber doesn't provide health insurance. Instead Uber drivers get their healthcare costs covered by the rest of us (either via ACA subsidies or written-off care provided to the uninsured).

Blocked by Windows Smart Screen Filter. Curious way to manage a release.

It should be illegal to pay any form of wages, whether gig work or 9to5, without paying into social security, medicare, medicaid, and unemployment insurance. This pandemic has proven that EVERYONE needs unemployment insurance, and it is alr

Those P/E numbers clearly show that Intel is in decline and AMD is killing it. Why do you think otherwise?

Couldn't you put the NFC chip in the watch band and use it with whichever watch you like?

I was hearing a mix of higher population density, worse hygiene, expectations of containment, different culture/government, skepticism of Chinese media honesty, and (perhaps most importantly) downplaying by WHO and other experts. Italy

I'm past the point of caring when pandemic denialists come regret their mistakes, but I am intensely curious about why people come to be a denialist in the first place. People were in denial during the Wuhan lockdown because China so d

It's called "infosec" in the private sector and "cybersecurity" in the public sector (and adjacent). "Cyber" can have negative connotations in the private sector only because, well, the best people in this

What does this have to do with Amazon? Return scams have been around for as long as returns.

Restaurants, accountants, lawyers, and such may do fine with mixed use zoning, but retail simply can't compete without economy of scale.

This just sounds like a failed acqui-hire to me.

Do you think it was a mistake for countries to continue compiling databases of citizens after WWII? Census? Phone books? These are all mistakes?
