Mr Prince: Sir, it is impossible to build a secure device using Android as a foundation. This also tells me your hardware architecture for "secure" computing is insufficient.

Twitter advises *after* the breach that PII provided to them might get exposed. And, they don't have enough logs to know who was impacted. How utterly irresponsible.

I tried their client app. How bloated is this piece of crap? Is this an Electron app? If so, bwahahahahaha!!! The price increase will help to pay developers to maintain their app deep in "client side node.js / chromium technical debt". It won't actually be used to -- you know -- pay off that technical debt. Slack, let me know when you deploy an app that I can install using under 25 megabytes.

Stripe is truly great. But how much revenue? 740,000,000 boxes of Ziti is a LOT of ziti.

What we desperately need in this country are more Electrical Engineers, specifically those interested in working at chip fabs. Everyone wanted to go into STEM for those sweet $200k+ salaries from Big Tech. Naturally, they want more talent, which will create a bigger selection pool for talent, and drive their wages down.

No, your statement is false. The commenter to which I replied asked how often the USA put the welfare *of its own citizens* ahead of profits.

Semiconductor fabrication was outsourced in the 1980's. Why? Many reasons. But, one of those was to outsource the pollution risks that led to Superfund site proliferation. On the surface, this put the welfare of USA's citizens ahead of shareholder profits.

Why design information technology systems correctly when you can save money by keeping gigs of PII and payment data unnecessarily within reach of a hotel employee?

I thought SOCMED was considered "important" for "national security". Was the endpoint breached? Was 2FA enabled? Was 2FA-SMS chosen over more robust methods? Inquiring minds want to know.

$465,000,000,000.00!!!! WOW!!!

Somewhat related to INTC's fab difficulties: If Intel really wanted to carve out a new niche, they would seek to leapfrog ahead of the ARM Morello project. Developing secure computing for the masses is the long game. By the time INTC's fabs are able to catch up to TSMC/Samsung's existing offerings, they can potentially be well-positioned to deliver the next generation of consumer SoC's suitable for a corresponding next generation secure OS. Alphabet and Apple have their own plans, and MSFT isn't cohesive enough / too large / too committed to legacy support for existing business. Amazon, maybe? Or a well-funded startup? If Apple is the only player designing efficient CPU's, that is bad news for security and competition. Proprietary, closed-source security is a particularly insidious form of evil. Oh, and, BACKDOORS ARE NOT SECRETS. Given how early-stage a research project like ARM Morello is, there is certainly time for a competitor to seek a 10-20 year plan. Don't count out INTC just yet.

It's not like there's already a permanent recording of ever-increasing resolution happening all the time, on almost everyone in the civilized world. Oh, and s/sknecht/GANGSTER.
