Let me get this straight.

You bought the cheapest crap (âoemost affordableâ) you could find, then are surprised when the carriers arenâ(TM)t sturdy and the screws are tiny, cheap little things? Then you ask for a laundry list of high end features in your next bike?

Problem might be at least partially behind the keyboard on this one.

Does the author of this one not know anything about US policy?

Germ warfare is a weapon of mass destruction. Weapons of mass destruction are answered by weapons of mass destruction. And the US officially has just one weapon of mass destruction.

Do the math.

I don’t have any mod points, but I just wanted to recognize this post. It’s quite a bit more insightful than most of what I read on slash these days. Thanks for taking the time to post.

From my perspective, this is a blow to enterprise security.

The BYOD mechanism relies, of course, on measures like encrypted containers to keep our corporate data safe. However, like all of security it is a multilayered, defense in depth model, and one of those layers is Apple doing a reasonably strong level of QA and security checks before publishing to the App Store.

Now we donâ(TM)t have that last step anymore, and some of our users will certainly download things they shouldnâ(TM)t. Itâ(TM)s going to make my life more difficult, no doubt.

WTF are you on, and where can I get some?

I think I need it for the upcoming election season

Though given this is a story about smartphones, that may be neither relevant nor practical

Huh.

As an American who emigrated to Europe, I guess that’s good to know

The law had some extra-territorial impact: https://www.davispolk.com/site...

You might be surprised at the extra-territorial elements of US law then (FATCA, anyone?).

But nonetheless, since Credit Suisse merged with First Boston many years ago, a good chunk of the bank has been located in the US and subject to US law. Mostly investment banking.

Not to add legitimacy to the rest of your post by responding, but it was a liquid and well-capitalized bank a week ago.

For all their problems, this aspect of the bank was not badly managed and was well within norms. The crisis unfolded because markets already jittery about two other bank collapses looked to a poorly worded statement from a major stakeholder and triggered a run. No bank survives all its customers leaving, full stop; there is always a breaking point.

Look, the concept would be pretty useful if it works, but there are a couple of stones in the shoe.

Firstly, if your organization uses IRM, can the “AI” access the encrypted emails that you have access to so that it actually has all relevant material?

Secondly, will it be smart enough to apply the same IRM (or classification or both) of the source content to the created content?

If not the first, then in some shops the tool will be pretty useless. If not the second, my security team is in for a headache or three.

I lived 13 years in Switzerland - 2 working for CS. It is not the country or bank your ignorant stereotypes portray.

If you’re interested in tax cheats, look at Delaware corporations. That’s a much easier, much closer to home way to cheat Uncle Sam, but nobody wants to actually solve the problem, so it’s better to demonize someone far away who is “not us”.

Anyway, I still can’t figure out why this story is on Slashdot.

Sounds like your kid should have picked another university! Iâ(TM)ve never heard of that, and do not fit an instant believe it is the norm that you have to drive across multiple campuses to get a degree.

Do you feel better grouping large sets of people together and ascribing to them a perfectly singular viewpoint? You seem to be implying that this “geniuses of finance” sub-class, which at best guess consists of rich people, all have claimed you should work harder for less and laughed at your pain.

If I were to do that about poor people, or Afghani people, or hexasexual people or whatever, it would be rightfully called stereotyping. In any case, it is certainly nonsense. If the particular individuals who led SVB into the ground have made such statements, by all means, call them out - we are all liable for our choices. But to make the kinds of attack you wrote above is both churlish and unfair.

Youâ(TM)re decidedly not talking about Apple users, whose hardware often runs well into antiquity, and who get security patches far longer than any other desktop OS.

Apple has their flaws, but this is not one of them.
