I'm sure a solution exists that can take inspiration from the digital rights people, anti-cheat developers, cryptography, and other industries interested in provenance. Of course, nothing will be fool-proof, but perhaps something stron

I wouldn't be opposed to similar outcomes as the Chinese baby milk scandal in the end.

It's the thing that allowed states to move out of colonialism post WW2. The American fleet is a fraction of what it used to be, and the populace appetite for a war glassing the Houthis where the US benefits very little is non-existent.

Nothing special, and an exceeding amount is above board. Everyone is playing the same game, using mostly the same tactics. Get wealthy people on board, use that to get policy makers on board while buying up advertising to target and sway pe

Ally doesn't mean you stop your intelligence services against them. It simply means there are things you agree about, currently, and agree to do. Everyone is always jockeying for power. No one stops trying to influence their allies.

When I first left offensive security consulting and joined an internal defensive team, a wise ex-agency person said to me "In product development, the first things to often get axed are security, and performance. They are invisible to

One of the features of a totalitarian government is the power to absolutely shape the populace. In China's case, their government planning sessions identify key technologies they think are the future and seek to be the best at, and exe

This makes sense because of the other aspects at play in the war, namely no one having clear air dominance, which allows artillery to shape the battlefield. In the shaped battlefield, the hunter-killer type drones have a target rich environ

No questions, but as a security person, I found this to be aligned with the view of many of the people i consider to have a good pulse on the warfare side of security. You're certainly not alone in these thoughts and efforts to fix.

None of what i said is security by obscurity (which is also can be an effective tactic,but obviously not the only tactic). There are only so many human hours and minds interested or allocated to exploitation and offensive security. If eve

That wasn't the point. On a long enough timeline, the security of all systems drops to zero. If the entire world is running x86, then the threat model for attackers revolves around abusing x86. If things are homogeneous, it raises the

The expectation and capability of the first iPhone is a minuscule fraction of what's expected of the Vision Pro. The iPhone wasn't a new idea, there were other smart phones before it, but they hit it out of the park with the inter

Seems like the thousands of people who bought it care, myself included. My role has significant on-call responsibility. It's nice to be able to take it charged anywhere I could need it and know that for several hours it can handle anyt

I empathize with this as I've been in the same boat, but all entities are not equal when performing triage.

For some groups they certainly are. However at this point: every developed nation has a professional offensive security group that have varying degrees of potency. All are more resourced than 99.9% of organizations defending and enjoy legal

Plus China does not care about obfuscation. They smash and grab and then deny, deny, deny + counter accuse.

If you really step back and think about it, this type of behavior is perfectly aligned with any number of well resourced criminal groups and state actors. Two years of contributing in less visible software with the goal of gaining trust and

The ability for hacker news commenters to grossly over-simplify and misrepresent things like this is unparalleled. Just like it takes all folks to make a village, it also takes those folks to do some missions that police forces have. The pr
