We have published a new study reviewing the Security Landscape of Mobile Banking Applications in North America. The study is conducted on over 400 Android and iOS applications analyzing their release cycles, features, capabilities, and tech stacks. The study also performed a deep dive reviewing the mobile applications' security and privacy posture.

Here are some key insights from the study:
* Over 30% of the applications were released post-2021
* 67% of applications were updated in the last 3 months, and over 10% have not been updated in over 2 years.
* 85% of applications include at least one vulnerable components
* 55% of the applications have at least one high or critical severity vulnerability
* 100% of the applications used encrypted communication but 20% still initiated some communication over clear text.
* Over 20% of the applications suffered from the Biometric authentication bypass and 10% suffered from Authentication OAuth account takeover

For more details, you can check the analysis and results of the study here: https://blog.ostorlab.co/security-mobile-banking-app-landsca...

I can think of more than one cause for this unexpected result.

How about this:

Unhealthy fat people with big atheroma plaques enroll in study. The study gives them some motivation to improve their health (to look good on results). They start a diet => they get included in the "restricted diet" in the study, they also start exercising, atheroma plaque wall ruptures due to stress => heart attack => death.

I think it's imprudent for the average retail investor to take on and action Buffets advice in most contexts, except for his "just put your money in an index" advice.

Buffet could lose 99% of his net worth, and still be one of the top 5,000 or so wealthiest people in history. He could then lose 99% of that wealth, and still be comfortably inside of the top 1% of wealth holders. He could invest that 1% of 1% of his money in a broad index, and comfortably live off the hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual returns.

The mental model he has of the market is completely different to someone who is putting 1/5th of their $50k life-savings into investments. His appetite for risk and loss are entirely detached from most investors, and even many investment firms. Similarly, the range of opportunities open to Berkshire Hathaway is considerably different to the range of options available to a typical investor.

I think my assumption came from two places: (1) My own bias (I use Zigbee) (2) Zigbee is big enough to have been sold in big box stores.

However, a rewrite which explains the global context would be even better, if it can be done concisely. You're right that many people won't know that. It's super-helpful to have a paragraph-length (max) description of any projects which is accessible to as broad an audience as possible.

Well, the arguments against goes the same way - if the system was no good, you can be sure that Tesla promoters would have posted 100s of videos of it already.

It is a challenge to deal with software that is not common, but that may be a sign that they trust you to handle it. You do not give a barely-competent junior tasks like that, you would trust it to someone who has what it takes to dig in.

Also, to add to the above, you would not want incompetent people maintaining legacy applications. Those typically exist because they are stable, because they work, and their owner expects that to continue.

All of this leads me to think that maybe you are actually more valued than you believe.

With that in mind, may I ask what exactly is it that you find frustrating about the job?

I can't wait.

Instead of watching movies in 2D, imagine the movie setting happening right in front of you. Maybe the setting might take into account your real physical environment as well. For example, if the movie calls for a horse to enter the scene, maybe the horse might subtlety avoid your kitchen island on its way. Instead of something pre-filmed, the movie is actually a series of prompts.

Note: I still like the real world before people crucify me.
>I wonder what accounts for the difference. Globally, the US has a higher rate than other countries likely due to guns, but it’s not like guns were illegal in 1950.

The FBI'S Uniform Crime Statistics (last published for 2022, 1) break down homicide rates and numbers by demographics. Some reasons for the higher murder rates are right there in easily discernible patterns that have little to do with guns specifically. A majority of homicide is black on black crime among younger men, (though there'es no shortage of white offenders in the same age and gender group, bear in mind the population differential for the country) and it occurs across many states regardless of those states specific gun laws, or those of the municipalities in which these homicides occur.

The above is considered by many to be extremely politically incorrect, even racist, but it is what the numbers clearly show based on minutely collected data. We can argue about socioeconomic and other social or political factors causing such homicide numbers in that demographic, but since the focus here is on guns as a possible cause of murder (a rather absurd idea since guns are inert objects unless made to cause harm by a human), that's a different argument.

Also, if you look at a breakdown of U.S. states with the most guns per capita, and another one of U.S. states with the highest homicide rates. They don't match, indicating that it's not simply "the guns".

Nitpick, from what i've read from you in this thread, you're a societal conservative.

You might be a social conservative (most american are, i think the left of the left of the democrat party isn't, but even then, its clearly a huge minority), but clearly, your position on suburbia and meeting people not from your circle isn't (which is fine, you can be social conservative and still think social mixity is good for conserving the social strucure/status quo).

Liberals are often a lot more socially conservative than they say they are, and hide social issues their economic policies create by being progressive on societal issue, but even then they push their narrative. First and second wave feminism was about emancipation. Third and fourth wave feminism is about this "empowerment", which is fine, i guess, but really does not move the needle socially.
Ok I understand what you're saying, but this is still treating debt as a negative despite the fact it has a positive influence on the enterprise value.

Imagine this example. I'm CEO of Company2 and I take out a 1B loan. Enterprise value is still 2B, because 1B debt is cancelled by the 1B I now have in cash. I then waste all the cash on whatever. My company's enterprise value is now 3B, because the debt has increased it without being cancelled by the cash.

Great line, it explains so much about humanity, from politicians constantly wanting shiny policies that are the exact opposite of their predecessor, to tech people rolling out Kubernetes to serve very simple workloads.
> Beans, rice, potatos, eggs, oats. Start with staples like these and it really doesn't matter whether you are getting the name brand or the bulk discount....

You're still ignoring the point that it can be very hard to even get access to basic staples, and I'm not just talking about the financial aspect but moreso about "how to get to a grocery store", especially in areas with no or derelict public transportation.

> but acnowledge the real poverty is primarily cultural, not monetary

Way over half of Americans can't cover an unexpected $500 emergency bill [1]. America's greatest problem is widespread poverty and income insecurity, everything else stems directly from that.

That's entirely true, but the problem is ST gobbled up a large share of resources and personnel in theoretical physics for decades. Smolin in particular is arguing that other ideas should get a fair shake.
You attributed a medical diagnose to me for saying something that is possibly uninformed. That makes me not ever want to have a conversation with you again.
Just food for thought...

Turns out you were the uninformed one. From the context through parent posts you can clearly see this was about a website using google adsense and by that, the company sells my info to an external (google) which then tries to take advantage of me to extract money from me.

That is what I am talking about and I think this was clear from the previous posts.
I think you owe me an apology
It sounds like you’re young and overthinking.

Whether you like it or not, you don’t know which of your interests will withstand the test of time, especially if you indulge in them for 40+ hours a week. You also don’t know how good be, and how much you’d enjoy, careers that relate to them.

There’s no way for you to do this better than the way that everyone does it.
Take a look at the Show HN rules I linked. Show HN is for things users can try, if you want to post reading material, you can do it in a regular submission that isn't a Show HN.

Not a physicist, just a fan.

It’s not just coffee and blackboards and hoarded Japanese chalk: the goalpost slalom around supersymmetry drives discussions about what colliders to build and how to operate them [1]. Before scalar field excitation at 125 GeV it was predicted by many that the power and luminosity of that run would show weak bosonic superpartners in the first run. With Higgs at 125 GeV it gets really tortured as an argument.

This is also the subtext with the really aggressive public branding of “dark matter”, when it should really be called something like “large scale apparent gravitational anomaly” or some dry thing like that, it’s not an MCU franchise: positing a bunch of mass that has none of the other properties of matter is a perfectly fine line of inquiry, but the verbal capitalization of Matter is because weakly-interacting massive particles are another way to argue that maybe, just maybe maybe, this is indirect evidence for supersymmetry.

But most of all the damage is in attacking the definition of science: if you envelope-math metastable vacua consistent with compactified Calabai-Yau dimensions at (last I checked) order of 10^250 what you’re left with is “it’s strong anthropic, there’s no explanation”, which is exactly where Susskind and that lot have ended up.

It’s time for these people to retire.

And yet:

> 35% of Americans say they are better off now than they were a year ago, while 50% are worse off. Since Gallup first asked this question in 1976, it has been rare for half or more of Americans to say they are worse off. The only other times this occurred was during the Great Recession era in 2008 and 2009.

I suspect cash flow and the price of expensive purchases like cars and homes matters a lot more to working people than total share of net worth.
Try to find a new job before quitting. You could try awitching teams internally. Try being indifferent - you're getting paid anyways, who cares if the system is a piece of crap. Or try being angry - fuck those guys for pushing all that work on you.

I've hated my job for the past 6 or 7 years. It's not going to be much better anywhere else. Even bouncing from team to team internally doesn't really make it better since they all have problems.

I know it ended since I am still friends with the owner: the labor regulations become so onerous he gave up on having a couple overly-enthusiastic pain-in-the-butt kids around to train every year.

> having the government sponsor or subsidise them also makes sense

Of course government intervention begets ever more government intervention - it's the only one that can fix the messes it creates. But I lived under a regime where the government controlled everything - and we were starving.

The government is the most incompetent, slow and corrupt organization built by man. It makes sense, as it has no competition to push it to be otherwise - it's the ultimate monopoly. Boggles the mind that somebody would voluntarily rely on it.
Having once worked on a project to improve some customer care software, I know that as a direct result of those improvements, people got fired.

I'm sure they all found new jobs but it did make me think about the consequence of my work.

Other projects involved making freemium games more addictive to suck people into paying. Of course everyone has a choice but playing on people's addictions to make money is an questionable morality.
Every freedom has limitations. Just because there are limitations doesn't mean that the underlying principle doesn't exist. People have the freedom to move, even before the car, and well before the interstate highway system.

The Autobahn was constructed for a similar goal as of the Interstate highway system - to act as a transportation backbone for the military during conflict. The fact that it's grown to what it is today is because it was built with free money (for the cities and states building them) and it became one of the safest ways to travel long distances without having to spend a lot of money.

Regardless, there's a lot more freedom to a car than a politically charged public transit system tied to a social credit score or even economic ability to pay whatever arbitrary fare exists. While cars do cost money, they also tended to keep going with a lot of abuse, and aren't tied to how politicians think of you.

In a previous job, I had a critical incident crop up and we were dealing with the offshore parent company. All the senior management had been cc’ed into the emails about the problem.

Result: nobody was willing to say anything for fear of looking bad in front of those people. This was frustrating to say the least.

I solved this by replying all, but I took out all the senior people. I said something along the lines “hey guys, I’m the guy who needs this fixed. I can see you are la working hard. I’m removing a number of people from the cc lost and we will communicate with them in a seperate email. Just keep me up to date with how it’s going and tell me what you need from my end.”

This worked wonders. They worked the issue, and though it took some time it was to be expected.

When it was solved, I found the original email, replied all (including management) and explained that the problem was solved, and made a point of highlighting the excellent work the team fixing the problem had done on resolving the issue.

I never had any issues with the patent company’s dev team after that :-) in fact, they went through our incident reports and fixed 80% of the longstanding issues within the next week! Which I wasn’t expecting…

Moral of the story - take as much pressure off the incident team as you can.

Depends on what you did with your cash. If you wasted it on something (perceived as) 'stupid' then your stock price would go down, lowering your market cap and your enterprise value would stay the same. If however you invested that cash into something perceived as 'smart' then your company will now be better off in some dimension, and thus it makes sense that your company will be worth more.

Equally if you are able to take on a lot of debt without it lowering your stock price then that means that the market thinks you're going to use that new money in a smart way to grow your companies value and thus your company is more valuable. If the market didn't believe you would use the debt wisely, taking on debt will lower your stock price.

In the real world you effectively cannot change the amount of cash or debt you have without it affecting your market cap in some way, as all three are tied together in complex ways and this model doesn't offer any insight into how changing one value will affect the others or the overall value going forwards. Think of Enterprise Value just as the price tag of a company at any given moment in time.
