While I don't disagree, it is beyond their control. At the time they released this, the maximum lifetime for a TLS certificate is 398 days.

It is an ongoing problem with no quick solution that is going to get worse, as the standard is changing the maximum time to be only 47 days. This means that not only will your software have to be able to refresh its trusted cert once a month, it will have to be able to phone home at least once a month in order to do that... a device disconnected for two months in a row will need manual intervention.

If you know French, "faible" means weak. Pronounced very close to Fable, and in the usual french order for modifiers after the noun. I'd prefer "infirm" which means lame!

Having worked numeric neural-nets, I'll add that NNs are very hard to tune in any desired direction. Often you have to do the opposite of what you'd expect.

Hardly new, sloppy police work has been around for at least 800 years (Magna Carta) and will persist so long as the drive to punish outweighs the costs of error.

This being egregious, and CA, I do hope the falsely jailed wins supersized compensation to caution others with a higher than zero cost of error. A feature (not bug) of the American system (McD coffee scald).

I guarantee this is the big difference between what Bernie's bill says versus what the administration is proposing. In one case, you have a bill saying that the people receive ownership without having to incur the risk of an investment. The other proposal is very likely that the government it has to invest at the same valuation that all these VCs did.

They aren't doing that.

The certificate is expiring. When it expires, it will no longer be able to talk to the server to validate the license.

In order to fix it, they need to issue a new certificate, which requires updating the software - which they no longer update.

The problem is rooted in the time-boxing of encryption certificates.

Comment Buzz for this movie is non-existant (Score 1) 87

I literally did not even know about this movie until last week. It has hard very little media coverage, no one talking about it on any major social media platform (which means that they have not been paying people to talk about it)

If Disney expected a big opening for this - they should fire their PR team.

But again, my company is not a charity

I can't afford to hire junior developers and train them for funsies. That's what you are suggesting.

What does that mean 5-10 years down the road? We are all fucked. But again, I can't solve that for society. That is SUPPOSED to be the job of government, but they are all sitting on their hands eve though the industry has been screaming at them for 3 years now to start plannibg and do something
