Almost none of those questions were about AWS cybersecurity.

That's unrelated to backdoors (deliberate covert access mechanisms). All parties with access to data, regardless of whether it is via a backdoor, can put that data at risk due to their own security.

Neither of these hacks involved "back doors" as they are normally defined. One was an authentication bypass; the other was a supply chain attack. Neither involved any sort of deliberate covert access mechanism.

Yes. 2000 IU and 5000 IU daily are common recommendations from medical groups in the USA.

Glad they skipped the 4000-series branding. Now we can look forward to next year's release of the 5700XT CPU to pair with the current 5700XT GPU.

IBM is just a conglomerate of neglected acquisitions that share branding ("watson" etc.). It hasn't been a single coherent company in decades.

This is promising technology, but the words "just barely statistically significant" should probably be in the first paragraph of articles covering this - not halfway down the article.

That's an impressively long list but some of those entries are a bit of a stretch. Google Nexus, for example, was rebranded as Google Pixel. Most people wouldn't describe rebranding as "killing" a product.

Currencies that are worth $1 more or less should round cash transactions to the nearest 10¢. Then we could simplify coinage considerably and we would all save time waiting in line for people to count out pennies and nickels over amounts that are immaterial.

True, but they don't need to relate 16384 types of data. It sounds like they were using one column per record, rather than one row per record. So if they had a sensible data model 2000 columns should be more than sufficient.

Those tax negotiations regarded high pay white collar jobs. We are talking about warehouse work here.

That quote is not in the article and is not even true (Amazon does not own the Post, and FISA warrants are legal).

Where did you get that nonsense?

Employees are not neighbors. Employees are responsible for negotiating their compensation (both monetary and non-monetary). It is absolutely appropriate to use information about others' compensation when negotiating for your own compensation.

"Reducing our payment processing costs" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
