Which part? Can you be more specific as to what you mean?

Hot take: Rural drivers shouldn’t get a say in how urban roads are designed

It’s not their city. They don’t live in it. They can stay in their town if they don’t like it

A lot of them are actively talking about how it could be a bubble and the implications. No one is going to be surprised. Billionaires are just really hoping they can make it work before the bubble pops

I wouldn’t have a problem if they were actually investing the money in something useful like R&D

Nearly all the investment is in data centers. Their approach for the past 2 years seems to be just throwing more hardware at existing approaches, which is a really great way to burn an absurd amount of money for little to nothing in return

I always forget how far north a lot of Europe is. The fact Dublin is further north than most Canadian major cities throws me for a loop

Eh, it works fine in Arizona. The US uses daylight savings, but Arizona doesn’t, except for some of the reservations in Arizona that do. You can go forward and back an hour twice just crossing Arizona

Ninja edit: As I say that, I remember why I even know that - I once spent an entire morning working out a bug in one of my daily jobs. Turned out because a team member in Arizona wrote the script and scheduled it, and a different team member not in Arizona wrote an orchestration to collect results, they ended up off-sync once daylight savings hit. Maybe it doesn’t work

Disclaimer: The app is closed source, so all we can go off is the developer’s word, although the fact the government removed it is a strong indicator they don’t have access to data from the app

The developer stated they do not even retain any identifying data, so the only data the government could get is public anyway. Through Apple they’d be able to see who downloaded it, and likely when it was used. Your defense would be easy enough though: “I just wanted to make sure the libs weren’t harassing our fascist patriotic ICE agents near me”

Both iPhones and Android phones can be configured to your desired security level. Both are used by various government agencies around the world for their most important secrets. Neither are secure out of the box. You have to harden them to your desired level of security

Arguing whether Android or iOS is more secure is a bit like arguing whether an SUV or pickup is safer. It doesn’t matter which you pick when basic security steps are magnitudes more important: Wearing a safety belt, having a functioning air bag, driving a safe speed, not driving drunk, etc.

No sideloading and no unlocked bootloader means you can’t sideload malware or install malware-preloaded ROMs

It’s a simple configuration change to disable it and can be done with any corporate MDM system, making this a moot point. Not to mention too many people don’t understand security, so Android is taking away sideloading anyway, FoR sEcUriTY

No root also means you can’t just install malware that uses root access

The vast majority of Android phones do not come with root access. For both, you generally have to elevate access yourself

Long OS support means fewer people run around with iPhones that are 5 OS versions behind

If you’re running an out-of-date OS, clearly security is not a priority

There’s no tiny boutique iPhone manufacturers who sell phones that come pre-loaded with malware

Supply chain attacks absolutely can happen to iPhones as well. There are plenty of re-sellers

You missed the actual security benefit over iOS that Android cannot compete with: Apple controls the entire software chain from security patch to OTA update. This allows them to patch and release a fix for critical vulnerabilities far faster than any Android device possibly could. Apple does not need to get the approval of an OEM (such as Samsung), and, due to special deals, they do not need to get the approval of a carrier (like Verizon). Android devices typically need to get approvals from both before releasing updates (although Google flagship phones can bypass one, and can fast track the other)

The downside there is there are no checks on Apple. They could release a horribly vulnerable patch with no additional checks in-between

In terms of security alone, iPhones easily beat most Android phones

That’s not how security works in the modern tech landscape. No major OS is going to meet a high security standard out of the box. All of them have to be configured to the desired security level, then be added to ongoing security efforts. Every major OS can be secured to the highest security standards

The primary difference is how much effort each takes, but even then there isn’t much of a difference. You’ll find tooling and in-house expertise makes a much larger difference than the OS

The myth that some OS are inherently secure really needs to die off

While the idea behind AI was that it would automate manual tasks and help workers focus on more value-added activities, some workers fear it will outright replace them — and that’s already happening

Yeah, it already happened to the journalist that would have written this article. I find it a bit funny that the picture caption is just the prompt they used to generate it

It has also said it has a no tolerance policy and will cut off government clients who use the spyware to target members of civil society, such as journalists

Citizen Labs confirmed joirnalists have been targeted

Nice of The Guardian to repeat their obvious lie without immediately calling it out. This is just NSO Group 2.0. They’re moving all the engineers over because even the US was willing to sanction NSO Group after everything they did

How very socialist of him

Out of tens of millions of children, that’s nothing. It was pure fear mongering
