Quote: In other words, as far as Intel is concerned, SGX is working as it should, protecting the enclave's contents from the rest of the system. If you run something nasty within the enclave, then the company makes no promises that bad things won't happen to your computer; SGX simply isn't designed to protect against that.

It's beginning to look like we don't need hackers with tech skills, any more; "researchers" are doing all the R&D and development for them.
Who has oversight on these activities? It seems completely ungoverned, with guys just "researching" ways to allow hackers into other people's computers.
They need to be strongly reminded that facilitation of a crime makes you party to the crime.

That would depend on whether their invention has any purpose other than criminal activities. Would the inventor of a new type of steak knife (e.g. one that cuts steak better than existing knives) be held responsible for the murders committed with the knives?

A steak knife is not designed to kill people.
These guys are, without any oversight whatsoever, creating tools to do harm.

Maybe.

Lemme guess, it's sponsored by a start-up called "Picanos", which is run by a Dr. E. Watson.

I imagine that's only the tip of the iceberg with how your GPS data is being tracked. I can just imagine the cocktail party conversation: "I write software that tracks your location and displays sale prices when you're at least 50 feet away from the store, but when you're in the store, it jacks up the price. I mean, you're in the store at this point, sucker, so you'll just dish out the extra cash, right???"

The link is still borked for me but I found the same story elsewhere. And if you are bothered by such things you may want to block positioning data access from apps. Personally I have it blocked for ALL apps, even the maps.

Clever-Commit is designed to help programmers evaluate if a code change will introduce a new bug, based on learnings from past bugs and fixes. Developers who make these bugs also make these others
That blurb looks a lot more awkward than the idea seemed in my head.

Might I just remind everyone that AIs that do predictions do not "work out" a damned thing?
They just perform statistical analyses that they have cobbled together black-box style, based on statistical data that they've been fed.
So you don't know why an AI might pop up with "Hey, your commit is likely to cause a bug!" -- it could be because every previous commit on a Thursday at 11:27:29.003 has resulted in bugs.
Formal Statement:
I do not believe it is possible for there to be enough existing data to successfully train an AI to do what is being claimed, here.

Third of companies say they are overwhelmed by too many innovation projects, many of which never make it to market. Well, that's new

Define innovation. Without using the words "useless", "hairbrained", "some monkey manager's third cousin's idea", "IoT", "mobile", or "cloud". I bet you can't.
Notice the Oxford Dictionary definition (my bold) of "innovate":
"Make changes in something established, especially by introducing new methods, ideas, or products."
Nowadays, "innovate" means that some monkey manager's third cousin came up with a useless and hairbrained idea to create IoT underwear that tells your mobile device when it's time to go commando and to post your commando history to the cloud, and you're tasked to implement it!

First they complain about a lack of innovation, now there is too much. If they are overwhelmed they obviously have inadequate management. To clarify, the amount of management is rarely inadequate while the quality of it often if not usually is.
