We've decided it's just not worth it, and would rather explain to users who email our support line that Google shut down the API.
That's something that's always amazed me about Google, if Microsoft did something like this (which they did in the 1990s), the masses would be at the gates with pitchforks and flaming torches screaming for blood. When Google behaves like Microsoft did 20 years ago... well, meh, it's Google, they can do that. What's changed?
Nobody in their right mind chooses a Google product as part of their critical infrastructure
Or "improving" them, like Google Bet^H^H^HMaps, where the new version is so bad I've switched to Bing Maps. That's Microsoft's Bing Maps. Over Google.
I'd question that. No systemd based distro has been certified with EAL, FIPS, or Common Criteria yet.
What does that have to do with security? All of the certifications you've mentioned are an evaluation of how desperate a vendor is to bid on government contracts, not of the security of a system.
Allowing unsigned code into the app bundle changes the app bundle and makes the signature invalid. That's how signatures work. The idea here is that a legitimately signed and installed app can then execute code outside the app bundle which will run without additional controls in place.
It depends. If you can add metadata to the bundle without it being detected (a problem that has cropped up with Linux repositories several times) then this is a genuine vuln. If OTOH it's something like "If you install a Python interpreter then you can use that to run arbitrary code that isn't validated by Gatekeeper" then it's a "Code execution results in code execution" issue. In the great tradition of journalists everywhere, the ThreatPost article never provided any links to any original material, so all we have is the writer's interpretation of what's actually going on,
Assuming the previous reply was by the guy who gave the talk, is it online anywhere?
It does sound and awful lot like the notorious MS07-052: Code execution results in code execution

Wait! Eating whole foods *doesn't* cure cancer?!
Of course it doesn't, everyone knows that! You cure cancer, and in particular pancreatic cancer, with a strict vegan diet, acupuncture sessions, drinking special fruit juices, hydrotherapy, and visiting spiritualists.
An application that blows dick stops working on an unsupported operating system that sucks dick?! STOP THE PRESSES!
Well that's not quite correct, while Windows XP may merely suck dick, iTunes actually swallows.
No, he took full responsability for a black op
That's "African-American op", you insensitive clod! If Bush had done it you'd probably be calling it a white op.
Hell, some manufacturers like Lenovo even included malware like Superfish on new laptops. Will Deviceguard prevent that from happening?
Nope. Quoting from TFA
The following OEMs are endorsing the use of Device Guard on their Windows 8 certified devices [...] Lenovo.
So you still get SuperPhished, only now it's DeviceGuarded.
Okay, then artists would release a bunch of shit sequels just to extend copyright. That benefits no one.
How would that differ from current practice, at least in Hollywood? No film franchise is complete until it's had at least two or three shit sequels.
I am more interested in what it produces. Is the produced code fast and correct?
It's sometimes correct. When it's not correct, your bug report that it (for example) produces code that segfaults with -O3 on x86-64 is closed as "by design" because if you stare at the manpage long enough while drunk it could be interpreted as being allowable behaviour under certain circumstances and therefore doesn't need to be fixed.
That was my reaction too. "Latest update of bug-ridden, bloated alternative to LLVM released".
(And no, I couldn't give a toss about Apple, I just want a compiler where, for each new release, I don't have to spend a long-tail of several months identifying new compiler bugs and design "features" and adding code workarounds to deal with them).
multiple families to join together to teach their [unvaccinated] children or participate in independent study programs
a.k.a. "agar dishes for childhood diseases".
