It seems short-sighted to not do this as a courtesy, given the reputational hit from the Kia/Hyundai Boyz saga just a few years ago. Who wants to be a manufacturer with a reputation for making easy-to-steal cars? Who wants to (for a

Lounges have gotten significantly worse since Covid though with overcrowding issues (with some exceptions like KIX), so I don’t think it’s a particularly great loss. My card lets me pay some token amount to gain access to lounges but I’d ra

It wasn't really particularly material whether Russia had 30,000 nukes or 32,000 nukes in 1994. It was material if other states got the components that were in those 2,000 nukes.

The more alarming part for me is that, given the scale of the breach, there was clearly some way for this CS access to (a) query and download data from a database and (b) exfil that data in bulk. Where on earth were the controls?

Seems unlikely given who has been targeted. I doubt the Ledger or Paymium guys have been evading tax on crypto given that they're publicly involved in it and likely would be scrutinised more than the average person by tax authorities.

If it's so easy, then why do people die from having lesions misdiagnosed as benign? Even if the success rate of the human eye was in the 99.5%+ range, why not have an extra sanity check from an AI model?

This was the approach I took when purchasing a TV. Getting a TV without a microphone and Wi-Fi connectivity is borderline impossible... in the consumer segment. My living room is now furnished with a digital signage monitor and a soundbar.
