today is Tuesday February 20th Wow

00:02

February it goes quick very very short

00:04

and yesterday of course if you are have

00:07

a job with that respects federal

00:09

holidays yet a day off a day when we

00:11

remember that we should always trust our

00:13

authoritarian rulers because they're

00:17

good people and they have our best

00:19

interests in mind and they don't really

00:20

make mistakes even if they were slavers

00:24

Presidents Day

00:28

[Music]

00:35

well our first story is a follow up I

00:38

don't even I don't even that's gonna be

00:41

my new thing I don't even gonna give up

00:42

I don't know I'm gonna give up at nods

00:44

it would be impossible for me to give up

00:46

I don't know you should adopt a whole

00:47

range of I don't blank well I already

00:51

said I don't know with like 50 different

00:53

Cadence's so it's I can really I can

00:55

really like slide them in there rent it

00:57

out

00:57

James d'amour I don't know if I'm

01:00

pronouncing last name correctly

01:01

this is a follow up in case you are I

01:03

didn't hear this if you follow us you

01:04

know what this is but for those of you

01:06

don't there was a guy that worked for

01:08

Google and he issued a memo that said

01:10

that Google is basically an echo chamber

01:13

for I don't really want to I don't

01:16

really want to describe it because any

01:18

description would be inaccurate and just

01:22

see I'm already off track it's already

01:23

it's already a mess he didn't like the

01:25

fact that Google went out of its way to

01:29

empower the minorities that work there

01:32

women trans people what have you and he

01:36

surmised that perhaps there are

01:38

biological differences between women and

01:40

men and they didn't like that so he sued

01:44

them thinking that you know hey I stated

01:47

a fact which he believes is a fact

01:50

some people do some people don't and he

01:52

believed he had a lawsuit there well

01:53

it's been ruled that's not the case and

01:56

by the letter of the law he probably

01:58

should have had a lawsuit but they've

02:00

ruled this commission I can't read what

02:02

it's called this is a labor board

02:03

Commission yeah they've ruled that what

02:06

he said was basically a speech and it

02:10

doesn't get any traction to tell you I

02:12

like that they were very very careful to

02:14

point out that some of what he said in

02:16

the memo is in fact protected speech

02:18

like he could not be fired for some of

02:21

what he said in the memo but Google was

02:24

very very careful in crafting the

02:26

reasons for his dismissal and the

02:29

reasons that they stated for his

02:30

dismissal did not include any of the

02:32

specific protective items from his memo

02:34

so that is why the National Labor Board

02:36

found that no wrongdoing has occurred

02:39

here and this is not really like a court

02:41

of law kind of thing this is more just

02:43

like a labor oversight like the Duke

02:46

but he's act fairly when hiring and

02:48

firing people and I found that yes in

02:50

this case it was favoring its uh I think

02:55

he like you say at some points in some

02:58

ways you should have known better than

02:59

to say that I mean you got to read the

03:01

tea leaves sometimes the world is not

03:02

fair place but I knew have to know where

03:04

you're going

03:05

read the weather you don't have to be a

03:07

weatherman you know what's where the

03:08

wind was as a famous musician said but

03:12

to it seems a little disingenuous to be

03:15

like I don't believe that you should

03:17

make these arbitrary rules and lord over

03:19

us and have all these policies so I'm

03:21

gonna go to the government for help

03:23

there's a little bit of irony there yeah

03:25

I had a considered a like the court

03:26

system but he knows Google his deep

03:30

pockets and yeah I check for the stars I

03:32

guess he is is going about it a

03:35

different route a different kind of

03:37

lawsuit now so I'm sure I'll get shot

03:39

down to I'm sure there was gonna be many

03:41

more follow ups about this I wonder if

03:42

there are any in Google that are

03:45

secretly like on his side with I can't

03:47

say anything cuz that's gonna I mean

03:49

those people will just eventually

03:50

quietly leave the company I mean really

03:53

can't say anything if they do feel that

03:56

way I'm sure it's like Nazi Germany and

03:58

like they won't even tell their closest

03:59

friends it's like no keepin that a total

04:02

secret how it's it's pretty crazy when

04:05

you can't even discuss things in any

04:06

kind of rational civil discourse that's

04:08

like no this you know you're thinking

04:10

that there's a biological difference

04:11

here it's not not really the case it

04:14

appears to be biological but it is in

04:16

fact just because society is so

04:17

universal in the way that it raises the

04:20

two different genders or you know

04:21

whatever other alternative explanation

04:23

that there might be Intel has been hit

04:27

with 32 lawsuits over security flaws

04:30

this is of course relating to specter

04:32

and meltdown this is only the tip of the

04:34

iceberg folks there have been more

04:35

updates for spectrum meltdown this is

04:37

probably going to be a follow up that

04:38

you see every single week

04:40

a lot of this lawsuits are not they're

04:44

not all exactly the same some of them

04:45

have to do with how Intel handled the

04:48

disclosure some of them are to do with

04:49

the vulnerabilities themselves some of

04:51

them are to do with remuneration for how

04:53

Intel is going to you know deal with the

04:55

fact that it's got old silicon out there

04:57

it's vulnerable

04:58

really not doing a great job dealing

04:59

with that one of them is actually the

05:01

stock price so two people the Google

05:05

notified Intel in July and some people

05:09

were like hey I bought stock after July

05:12

you should have told me and so they're

05:15

saying meat we also mentioned snapchat

05:18

how to redesign snapchat has got a

05:20

petition on his hand that has 1 million

05:23

signatures from this users saying hey

05:25

you should probably roll back the UI we

05:27

don't like the new snapchat UI

05:29

yeah people have been getting old images

05:33

of the app and going through a lot of

05:35

trouble to install them but people

05:37

really really hate this new UI but I

05:40

think it's falling on deaf ears

05:41

it is snapchat didn't do this because

05:44

they wanted to improve their product

05:45

they did this because they weren't

05:47

making money and they need to make money

05:50

into the arms of Instagram they go back

05:53

yeah if you want to vote no to

05:55

change.org is not the way to do it

05:57

uninstall snapchat is the way to do it

05:59

and everything Facebook a way for

06:03

different reasons but all the well I

06:06

think the younger kids ran from Facebook

06:08

to snapchat yeah so which is just

06:14

Kaspersky Kaspersky has filed another

06:16

lawsuit saying hey we should not be on a

06:18

banned list because we didn't actually

06:19

do anything wrong in terms of its use as

06:22

a software antivirus product within the

06:24

federal government this was a second

06:27

tier of the ban it's really some minutia

06:31

in here as to what's different but

06:33

they've sued again the when you get

06:36

right down to it the simple way of

06:37

explaining this is there is this rule

06:39

that you can't create laws that target a

06:43

very specific group of people even if

06:47

the law doesn't state that it's

06:49

targeting that specific group of people

06:51

you know like let's say we had a really

06:55

really really cold part of the country

06:57

like a Brook all year round is the IC or

06:59

blue and you pass the laws like you're

07:00

not allowed to wear fur all year round

07:02

then that wouldn't be okay because it's

07:05

like hey clearly this is it so Kaspersky

07:07

is saying the wording of the law doesn't

07:09

say you know

07:10

you're targeting us individually but who

07:13

at what other Russian companies software

07:14

otherwise are being affected by this

07:16

you're only hurting us

07:18

so being interesting to see how that

07:20

plays out it's gonna be interesting to

07:21

see how if at all the product changes

07:24

and the product changes hands I mean the

07:26

standard mo like stuff like this has

07:28

come up before in the past stuff like

07:30

this came up a lot in the late 80s and

07:32

early 90s because of software companies

07:35

in the software game and the rise of

07:36

personal computers and then the way to

07:39

deal with it was that the foreign

07:41

national company would simply just open

07:43

up offices in like San Francisco or New

07:45

York and employ a couple local people

07:47

and those people would be responsible

07:48

for distributing and managing the

07:50

product domestically doesn't PD did they

07:53

do that yeah so that Manning widenar

07:57

Senator Ron Wyden has been grilling the

07:58

FBI chief on encryption now I really

08:00

like this this is kind of a summary this

08:02

is kind of a follow up we didn't really

08:04

cover a lot of the like blow-by-blow

08:05

stories but there's kind of a milestone

08:08

here that you should be aware of so this

08:09

is accounting information Tom a follow

08:10

up he wrote a letter to the Great's the

08:14

seminal greats of encryption so like

08:16

Helmand like diffie-hellman encryption

08:18

Helmand that guy those guys are still

08:20

alive it would be like digging up

08:21

Washington and asking him political

08:23

questions like so what do you think

08:24

about what's going on George Washington

08:25

how is this you know turns out that with

08:27

encryption encryption is so new in the

08:29

computing industry moves so quickly that

08:31

you know like the RS and a those guys

08:34

are still pretty much alive most of them

08:36

and you can ask them what's going on

08:38

with encryption and so Ron Wyden says

08:41

you know we're getting a lot of rhetoric

08:42

from our FBI chief about how we can have

08:45

encryption that has a backdoor and the

08:47

encryption somehow knows the difference

08:50

between law enforcement requests for

08:52

third party access and criminal request

08:54

for third party access you guys have any

08:56

idea what algorithm that FBI chief is

08:58

talking about and the letter answer from

09:01

those the the Giants in the encryption

09:03

industry is no there doesn't exist an

09:06

encryption algorithm that does that and

09:07

we'd like to look at it to because we'd

09:09

like to know how valid it is so yeah

09:11

that's pretty nice I just like that

09:14

well it's course it's basically satire

09:16

yeah that can't exist but I like how

09:20

it's sort of the wordplay the theme is

09:23

you trade your freedom for security

09:26

that's all modern governments I think

09:28

are basically on that track you you have

09:31

too many freedoms it's dangerous you

09:33

must give them up so that we can secure

09:35

you from drugs terrorism what-have-you

09:39

and low prices Disney movies we've got

09:42

security from that but it's a high

09:44

priority but when you when you think

09:45

about it in this context you're trading

09:47

security for security how low a lien is

09:52

that at least one person at least one

09:56

senator kinda gets it if it's like okay

09:58

you say this can be done let's get some

10:01

technical details as to how this can be

10:02

done and the answer is it can be but of

10:04

course they know that I think you you

10:06

have to keep these talking points hot

10:08

you have to keep the public public

10:10

afraid how that sounds reasonable and

10:13

some but nothing about encryption and

10:15

then you get your real way which is they

10:18

just want to backdoor I don't care how

10:19

it affects anything that's bad really

10:23

bad I'm probably on good Facebook must

10:26

stop tracking Belgian users a court has

10:28

ruled so this is exciting if you're in

10:29

Belgium Facebook has to stop tracking

10:31

you or it's gonna face a fine of 250

10:33

thousand euros a day well they're gonna

10:36

appeal I don't know what the rule is in

10:38

Belgium do you does the law stop during

10:41

the appeal or does it keep going during

10:42

the appeal it's different I think that

10:44

you yeah it's going on yeah I think the

10:46

European Union will give you the benefit

10:48

of the doubt but if you turn out to be

10:50

wrong it's kind of dire consequences now

10:53

this of course is about how Facebook has

10:56

the like buttons and all the other

10:58

infrastructure so that they follow you

11:02

everywhere and they're saying that

11:03

violates a lot of laws people don't

11:06

expect that people don't expect your

11:08

technology to spy on you everywhere you

11:09

go or every website you there's it they

11:11

found two instances where those people

11:13

didn't even have Facebook accounts but

11:14

Facebook knew who they were and was

11:15

tracking them anyway it was impressive a

11:19

federal judge says embedding a tweet can

11:22

be copyright infringement this will be

11:24

appealed and this will probably be

11:25

overturned you hope so this was a case

11:30

of a photographer taking a picture and

11:34

then someone else taking that picture

11:37

and tweeting it and then someone else

11:40

embedding that tweet in a webpage and so

11:45

the original photographer went after the

11:47

person with the webpage not Twitter not

11:51

the tweeter who originally took the

11:52

picture and this judge actually is

11:53

upholding this and saying that's

11:54

11:59

needs to be some exceptions carved out

12:00

here obviously but I'm not totally like

12:04

I kind of get how the judge sees this

12:06

like you if you're a photographer and

12:08

you want to post your work online and

12:10

it's like if I were the photographer and

12:11

I tweeted it and it's like hey contact

12:13

me for use rights in your media

12:14

publication it would be nice if I could

12:16

disable embedding but if I have a

12:18

photographer didn't tweet it yeah so

12:20

it's a little bit weird in this

12:22

situation it's so I mean it's sort of

12:24

like this twenty dollar bill that you

12:28

just tried to buy gas with was used to

12:30

buy cocaine so you're going to jail and

12:33

drug charges

12:34

well Getty Images already has a lot of

12:36

case law that's kind of like this where

12:38

some collection of images includes a

12:41

getting image and it's like well I

12:42

bought a license to use that image from

12:44

this thing and then Getty Images shows

12:46

up and says no that's our image they

12:47

didn't have a license to use the image

12:49

you got to pay anyway and it's something

12:52

about trafficking and stolen property or

12:53

whatever it's a huge mess and US

12:55

12:56

sounds a lot like the Mafia it

12:59

definitely does doesn't it I mean the

13:02

FCC there's an FCC watchdog that has

13:04

been looking into changes that benefited

13:06

st. Clair broadcasting so apparently I

13:09

mean there been some clickbait headlines

13:10

around the internet that says that a GPI

13:12

is being investigated for fraud this is

13:14

what they're talking about yeah he

13:16

championed some changes to how mergers

13:19

work and things like that that were very

13:24

specific and then very shortly after

13:27

they pushed that through Sinclair

13:29

broadcasting did exactly what he just

13:31

made legal well it was previously not

13:33

don't you think it was like it was like

13:35

a week like the thing happened and then

13:38

it was a six point nine billion dollar

13:40

deal or something like that he's put

13:41

together in a week you don't get that

13:43

so I again I don't see how anybody is

13:49

not totally aware of what a GTI is and

13:53

what he's up to

13:54

yes of course this is he's doing what he

13:57

was accused of of course who can't see

14:00

that here's here's how they're gonna

14:02

wriggle out of it I'm gonna make this

14:03

prediction I know nothing about the case

14:04

I haven't looked at any Discovery or

14:06

anything like that but I've been in a

14:07

game long enough they're gonna say it's

14:09

like well you know we were exploring

14:10

exploring a merger for years and we put

14:13

all the work together and and then we

14:15

discovered that the legal requirements

14:18

were such that we couldn't actually

14:19

merge and so yes we did do all this work

14:22

beforehand before the ruling and then it

14:24

was just serendipity that this thing

14:27

happened with the GTI and we were able

14:30

to just pull this plan out and we've

14:31

been working on for years and put the

14:33

six point nine billion dollar deal

14:34

because we were ready to sign it's just

14:36

that we didn't realize that there was

14:37

this leak like our legal team was asleep

14:39

at the helm and they didn't tell us

14:41

until the eleventh hour that we couldn't

14:42

do this so that's how it's gonna go

14:44

the main guy the investigator his

14:49

comments no sort of interesting because

14:50

it seemed like he was really gung-ho to

14:52

do this but he was hitting a lot of

14:54

walls trying and imagine why I G PI to

14:58

me is you know like in movies and TV

15:01

where there's that one really evil

15:03

really manipulative character and the

15:07

you know the director and the writer

15:09

that really heavy-handed about showing

15:11

you how evil they are but somehow the

15:13

characters don't see it it's like what

15:15

like good like little finger from Game

15:17

of Thrones it's like that's really in

15:19

your face but like if something is he's

15:21

just like nobody knows it's like I just

15:28

what he gloats about it - yeah it's like

15:32

I did this Fey there's nothing you're

15:33

gonna do stop me and it's like okay

15:35

sounds good that's what we're at here so

15:38

Seattle there's a surveillance system or

15:40

public safety tools Seattle is

15:42

dismantling its controversial wireless

15:44

mesh network now this is something we

15:45

reported on a while back it gathers what

15:48

was the license plate data and cell

15:50

phone data and things like that

15:52

they uh they decided that they weren't

15:55

really sure what to do with all the data

15:56

so there

15:56

pay yet more money to take it out after

15:58

they put it in well they put it in

16:00

before they got the approval from City

16:02

Council or whoever and the City Council

16:05

was like wow well we don't want this so

16:07

they spent was a 13 million err yeah I

16:09

was with million something like that is

16:11

of course probably some federal money in

16:13

there some taxpayers paid for that and

16:15

then they sort of people went a little

16:18

crazy they're like all right all right

16:19

fine fine we'll turn it off for a while

16:20

and then it's been off for a year or

16:23

something like that and they're not

16:25

gonna turn it back on so now we're just

16:26

gonna tear it down sell it for parts

16:28

I guess that's good but it should not

16:31

have gone them in the first place this

16:32

might be one of the I deal with that's

16:34

like well if we get it in place they'll

16:35

depend on it we can't live without it so

16:37

it's good but it's it's only good you

16:41

know like they should they did a

16:44

terrible thing

16:45

and then they charged this money to stop

16:47

doing it so is anybody gonna be charged

16:49

with fraud or waste for wasting all that

16:51

taxpayer dollars time that person's

16:54

already been promoted they're gonna be

16:57

running it and the next time we do that

16:58

they're gonna get away with it yeah

17:00

boiling the Frog a German Court has

17:03

ruled that Facebook's use of personal

17:05

data is illegal so this is another sort

17:07

of European Union loss for Facebook it

17:10

makes you really wondering what they I

17:11

mean I see all these like because we're

17:14

in the States I see all these stories

17:15

about Facebook doing and there's a lot

17:17

of really crazy stuff that comes out of

17:19

discovery from these court cases and

17:21

it's like are they doing that here in

17:23

America yes oh for sure they're probably

17:25

piloting it in America and dismembering

17:27

it someplace custom you know of course

17:29

this is their home base but yeah II you

17:32

I'm not a big fan of the EU but I do

17:35

love that they are just constantly

17:37

kicking Facebook and Google and the team

17:39

week after week yeah and yet I'm a fan

17:45

of less government but at the same time

17:47

these companies are running roughshod

17:49

they're just doing whatever well I think

17:51

the government sort of held their hand

17:55

to get them to where they are and

17:57

they're like oh wait we've raised it's a

17:59

demon child well in a ray of sunshine in

18:02

a sea of nothing but gray clouds a judge

18:05

has ruled that the FCC's net neutrality

18:07

repeal will not stop a lawsuit that

18:10

alleging that charter throttled Netflix

18:13

and so this lawsuit is over actions the

18:16

Charter took years ago in throttling

18:19

Netflix traffic and I think it's pretty

18:21

clear that whether directly or

18:22

indirectly charter played a role in

18:24

throttling Netflix is trafficking well I

18:27

don't understand how these are

18:28

accusations cuz can't Netflix just come

18:30

forward and be like yeah here's our let

18:33

me show you my checkbook here's all the

18:35

checks we made out the Charter to stop

18:37

throttling us because they did that

18:39

don't come out in Discovery and so that

18:41

will be pub no doubt those payments are

18:43

protected by some kind of non-disclosure

18:44

agreement like a business agreement for

18:46

non-disclosure

18:47

but that will not survive discovery for

18:50

this trial and so we the public should

18:52

get to see exactly what sort of

18:55

behind-the-scenes backroom dealing was

18:56

necessary in order for Netflix to get

18:58

his traffic through but of course here's

19:01

a GPI evil villain this should be

19:05

obvious he came in he was like no no no

19:08

your laws don't apply because I changed

19:10

them and this judge is like no those

19:13

laws were before you came into power and

19:15

they will stand so this is gonna be

19:17

interesting to watch this case unfold

19:19

and see what happens I have a feeling

19:22

that the companies involved will do

19:26

everything that they can to prevent

19:28

anything from being discovered so we may

19:30

see an extraordinary settlement here if

19:31

your Netflix though because I don't

19:34

think Netflix brought this right this is

19:36

from the state yeah so this is the state

19:38

suing not Netflix saying I think Netflix

19:39

they're in a weird position yeah because

19:42

now they need to keep making those

19:44

payments because there is no net

19:45

neutrality so going forward they don't

19:47

want to be throttled again but that will

19:49

destroy them so yeah we were extorted

19:53

but then you're trying to

19:57

come up with a court case that settles

20:01

that problem with us being extorted yet

20:03

you've made it legal for us to be

20:05

extorted from now on so it's a tough

20:09

spot it is a very tough spot so what

20:11

you're saying is that that this was uh

20:15

this was not Comcast it was it was the

20:19

charters charter yeah so they bought

20:21

them later I think charter could to come

20:24

in and say okay you know what Netflix it

20:25

was wrong of us to charge you here's

20:27

double your money back for this you know

20:30

period of time that we were charging you

20:32

a couple of years ago oh by the way the

20:34

money you have to pay us now has just

20:35

gotten up to hundred percent yeah

20:37

exactly

20:38

I think there was some stuff mixed in

20:40

here about the up to speeds as well yeah

20:44

which now I think is legal again right

20:45

yep that is all completely fine this is

20:48

also from the time period where when you

20:50

enable the VPN on your connection you

20:52

magically got better speeds depending on

20:54

which a VPN endpoint you chose because

20:56

instead of taking the direct route to

20:57

Netflix you took the indirect route to

20:59

Netflix we should tell you that the ISP

21:00

is deliberately doing some shenanigans

21:02

on their network to cripple Netflix

21:04

which they surely are now yes so it's

21:09

it's a fun and exciting time bad news

21:11

from Microsoft a lot a lot of bad news

21:12

from Microsoft this week Skype has a

21:14

really bad security bug that has been

21:16

reported but it cannot be fixed without

21:18

a massive code rewrite so this is this

21:21

is something that is very serious

21:22

there's really not a lot of technical

21:24

details but uh it was a during the

21:26

update you could place a dll in a

21:30

certain folder during a Skype update and

21:33

it didn't confirm anything about that

21:35

DLL other than the file name so it's

21:37

just like oh here's the deal I needed

21:39

and that could get you system level

21:41

privileges you know what's really scary

21:42

about this is this is really similar to

21:45

the attack vector that the CIA used for

21:50

notepad plus plus there's a there's like

21:52

an input plug in for a notepad plus plus

21:54

or something like that and the CIA had

21:56

specifically co-opted that DLL and it

21:59

was a similar DLL injection where you

22:02

know it was just uh it was a basic

22:04

innocuous loophole in the software that

22:07

was used by the intelligence community

22:08

to do stuff

22:10

if Russia is accusing the notepad plus

22:12

plus people of being you know horrible

22:15

shills for things or like a

22:18

state-sponsored whatever because the CIA

22:19

co-opted notepad plus plus hi

22:22

I wonder if you know does Russia do we

22:25

only Russian viewers do they have the

22:27

same kind of like public awareness

22:29

campaign so you don't use American

22:32

products but the interesting thing about

22:34

the skype story like you say we've seen

22:37

attacks like that before

22:38

but Microsoft has come out and they're

22:39

like we're not fixing it we're gonna fix

22:41

it in the next version of Skype but

22:43

there will be no security update so free

22:47

reign for hackers all right yeah I guess

22:49

don't upgrade Skype until the Nexus

22:51

pirates have cracked Microsoft's uwp

22:54

protection five layers of DRM defeated

22:57

so this is the Windows Store you know

22:59

undefeatable coffee protection yeah no

23:02

wonder games for Windows runs like crap

23:03

it's got five layers of DRM yeah they

23:05

compared it to de nouveaux where it's

23:08

running virtual machines and trying to

23:10

sandbox things to keep them protected

23:11

and these guys were like yeah that's a

23:14

huge hit performance it's crazy and

23:16

they've actually defeated it it was one

23:18

game at gives us some crazy like

23:21

irrelevant and silly game what was the

23:23

name of that I was one of those like

23:24

farming games or something like that or

23:26

Zoo or something and it's something that

23:28

nobody cares about

23:29

very few people care about I would say

23:31

but a big milestone in terms of

23:33

Microsoft really wants that windows

23:37

games Windows Store was that we were

23:40

gonna try but I just it's that other

23:42

pirates see if they see if he's like Oh

23:45

Windows game not sure not sure about

23:50

that Microsoft's hubris trucks again and

23:53

Microsoft hubris will bite them in the

23:54

butt on this Skype thing for sure yeah

23:57

so what good news I guess now of course

24:00

like many cracks you cannot be connected

24:02

to the Internet so modern games that's a

24:05

that's a big problem you know I think

24:07

that see if these games is a multiplayer

24:09

affair right so a big hit like that

24:12

won't be affected but still it's a win

24:14

for the anti DRM people speaking of bad

24:17

news for Microsoft Windows 10 that

24:19

Google has exposed how malicious odds

24:21

can i exploit my crease

24:22

edge to fool users into doing things and

24:25

the really exciting thing about this

24:28

story is that this these are things that

24:30

are sort of by design with the edge so

24:32

like if you're into web development and

24:33

you want to do things like animated svgs

24:36

or targeting SVG elements with CSS ie

24:39

edge doesn't do a lot of things and

24:41

Microsoft's like you know what we're not

24:42

gonna do those things by design and it's

24:44

just like Jesus Microsoft come off and

24:45

this is another example of that but from

24:48

a security standpoint it has to do with

24:49

how they use javascript and you know

24:52

recompiling to run and their native

24:54

thing and you can get away with some

24:56

stuff based on that but again Microsoft

24:59

has said we are Google gives them nine

25:03

days so it's like hey bro we found this

25:06

problem fix it we're not gonna go public

25:08

for 90 days and Microsoft didn't hit the

25:10

deadline they're saying mid-march what a

25:13

JavaScript attack is something I think

25:15

it's very you know like easy people are

25:17

gonna go after that hard it's easy and

25:19

it's easy to trick you into I mean all

25:22

they have to do is get you to click a

25:23

link or go to a web page that you

25:24

weren't expecting or buy an ad on an

25:27

unsuspecting ad platform yeah most

25:29

people don't realize that with the the

25:31

lack of flash you can totally deliver a

25:34

JavaScript through ads now some ad

25:36

platforms limit the amount of JavaScript

25:37

that you can load but JavaScript can

25:39

load more JavaScript somewhere else

25:40

so even though you've got a limited

25:42

amount of JavaScript that you're

25:44

allotted in an ad you can definitely

25:46

load more JavaScript from somewhere else

25:47

a little bit of a problem speaking of

25:51

things that have leaked 119,000 passport

25:55

and photo IDs if FedEx customers have

25:57

been found on an unsecured Amazon server

25:59

so this week in leaky s3 buckets we

26:02

haven't had one for I think most of

26:05

February's been there's been no IDs have

26:07

a january/february are usually pretty

26:09

slow for just about everything even the

26:11

thieves they're vacationing in Malta

26:14

this is another one of the situations

26:16

where someone bought the who was this

26:20

FedEx

26:21

yes company yeah they both FedEx bought

26:23

another company and was one of those

26:25

deals whereas they just bought

26:26

everything and somebody just walked away

26:28

from a really insecure system and nobody

26:31

audited it so it isn't that FedEx built

26:34

something that was in too

26:35

sure they bought something that was

26:37

insecure yeah I I think that we're gonna

26:40

definitely see some court cases where

26:41

it's like how much should you be

26:44

responsible if you buy something that's

26:46

insecure and then someone says don't do

26:48

anything with it yeah like oh I banded

26:50

that s3 bucket it wasn't mine anymore I

26:52

think we reported on this once before

26:54

but they were the details are really

26:56

sketchy this article has a lot more

26:58

details and how to find out if you're

27:01

affected and that kind of stuff so be

27:03

sure to check that out of here I have

27:04

done a lot of business with FedEx I

27:06

think the guy I know this time a hacker

27:11

has wiped a spyware company servers

27:14

again I can't but they're making it a

27:18

small everything maybe if it was the

27:25

name of the company the first time I

27:26

read this I was like he's at the name of

27:27

the company that makes the spyware no I

27:29

don't think so it's made some new mean

27:31

that we're not - it's a like phone

27:34

something well this is spyware but it's

27:37

not the spyware that you're used to

27:38

inspire that you actually purchase and

27:41

implant on someone else's devices to spy

27:44

on them like a you know a loved one or

27:47

your children a lot of it's marketed

27:49

towards hildren but of course you know

27:50

if you got a a cheating wife well that's

27:53

how your government knows it it loves

27:55

you is because it's put spyware on

27:57

everything so pretty shady stuff you can

28:00

make arguments about whether or not you

28:02

think that should be legal but anyway

28:05

this hacker decidedly not a fan of it he

28:08

had previously found a key embedded in

28:12

the code that was the API key it was

28:15

like my wonder yes he could do whatever

28:16

he wanted that API key so he started

28:18

deleting things and then a year passed

28:21

and now he's back and they encrypted the

28:24

key this time but he managed to

28:25

unencrypted it pretty easily and now

28:27

that's deleting more stuff why does the

28:30

API key let you delete stuff usually

28:31

it's only like a dur insert pretty sure

28:33

it just calls all the member functions

28:35

now the motherboard I think was the

28:39

website that did that they reached out

28:41

to the company and Kimber was like no no

28:42

nothing's been deleted so then they

28:44

reached back out to this guy he was like

28:45

set up an account

28:47

and upload pictures and they uploaded

28:48

pictures of the shoes and he was like

28:49

yes I see your shoes and they deleted

28:53

this year's nice this single character

28:56

message can crash your iPhone so bad

28:59

news for Apple as well in terms of

29:00

security yeah

29:02

why is how is this a thing it's a one of

29:06

the Indian languages it's a character

29:09

from one of the Indian languages and the

29:11

hilarious thing is because the message

29:15

like if the phone who sees that message

29:17

at all or tries to render that message

29:18

at all it just notes out it just dies

29:21

and so you can't delete it you have to

29:25

plug your phone into delete it through a

29:26

desktop somehow nicely good job Apple

29:30

how was that even a thing I hate pro tip

29:35

if you're somebody who's testing that

29:37

kind of thing make sure that you text

29:39

message the entire alphabet not just

29:41

hello world in all the character says

29:43

okay there is a difference between utf-8

29:47

and utf-16

29:56

you can defeat a lot of Mac OS security

29:59

by just taking screenshots using the API

30:01

to take screenshots because you know if

30:03

someone is using like the Apple keyring

30:06

thing and the or they're looking at

30:07

something secure there you can just set

30:10

up your software to take a screenshot

30:11

and then turn the screenshot back into

30:13

text and that totally works fine yeah so

30:15

of course they would know that there

30:18

would be a performance hit and they

30:19

would probably notice the bandwidth if

30:21

you were just like streaming constant

30:23

screenshots so instead they use the

30:25

on-screen character recognition and just

30:27

stream the text back to whoever and all

30:31

apps can do this because of course we

30:33

talked about before certain apps just to

30:35

prove that you're you when you do

30:36

certain things will take your picture or

30:38

snap the screen or something like that

30:40

and so yeah any app that you install

30:44

just remember that whoever wrote that

30:45

app can look at your screen whenever

30:47

they want yeah it's really another thing

30:50

that's really nuts that Mac OS does at

30:51

least the more recent versions the

30:53

on-screen keyboard operates with a

30:55

higher level of privilege so some types

30:58

of keyboard keystrokes you can't

31:00

artificially simulate and through the

31:02

API but you can simulate a mouse click

31:04

onto the on-screen keyboard which will

31:06

then send the keystroke into a

31:08

privileged container yay Mac OS Apple

31:12

doesn't think that's a security

31:14

vulnerability because that's by design

31:15

but seems like a security vulnerability

31:17

to me yeah and you're the keyboards

31:21

always gonna be in the same place and so

31:23

that would be real easy to just build a

31:25

little library how you do this why you

31:29

need to get some operating system

31:30

engineered well I'm sure you've got

31:31

operating system engineers to just halt

31:33

work on the iPhone OS you need more

31:35

people on the UNIX desktop OS or Linux

31:38

is gonna eat your lunch or BSD on the

31:40

desktop or something come on you can't

31:43

carry a Linux PC around in a leather bag

31:45

and look on Facebook is suggesting that

31:49

mobile users protect themselves by

31:50

downloading a facebook owned app that

31:52

tracks their mobile usage - the trick

31:53

with this is that Facebook is not making

31:55

it clear that they actually own the app

31:57

that they're instructing you to download

31:59

and it actually spies on you

32:00

inato is the name earth on a bow and on

32:03

IP on set by the thing that they're not

32:05

making clear is this is protecting you

32:09

from everybody but Facebook whatever you

32:12

do through this VPN Facebook is spying

32:15

on this this is their holy grail because

32:18

of course we saw the court cases they

32:19

use those like buttons as of like a

32:21

little army of spies and most websites

32:24

have them so they know what you're up to

32:25

but in this case they don't need that

32:27

anymore you're using a VPN I just simply

32:29

like I just capture the traffic yeah

32:31

they're just building your advertising

32:32

profile as you go to wherever you go in

32:34

the web

32:35

yeah like how it's just a button that

32:36

says would you like protection

32:38

protection we wouldn't want protection I

32:41

mean that sounds great yet so don't do

32:44

that well don't use Facebook but if you

32:46

must use Facebook

32:48

don't use that thing Google has removed

32:51

the view image button from search

32:53

results to make pix harder to steal so

32:55

this is a tongue-in-cheek headline the

32:58

view view view image is not going to

33:00

make pictures harder to steal but Getty

33:01

Images has been complaining to Google a

33:03

lot and so this is probably a response

33:06

to getting images complaining to Google

33:09

that hey this view image button

33:12

is not good and we think it makes it

33:14

easy to steal images so of course steel

33:17

means view like yeah downloading the

33:20

image is how you look at a lot of people

33:23

I guess love people don't understand

33:25

that but certainly people in the

33:27

33:29

understand it but they sort of make this

33:31

distinction like no you must view it in

33:33

the context that we want you to view it

33:35

and that's what they've done they

33:36

replaced it or already have the visit

33:38

page but you actually have to go to the

33:40

website where they found the image in

33:43

order to get the image of course you can

33:46

right-click on that preview image if

33:48

that's if you just want to do that it's

33:50

not always the biggest size that really

33:52

big news this week Google has rolled out

33:57

ad blocking in Chrome and it actually

33:59

has made it to where we can almost do

34:01

the news with this ludicrous number of

34:03

tabs that we have at the top that you

34:04

can't see without it crashing almost

34:07

it's doing better still not great but

34:09

it's not better

34:10

normally the what the way we do it is we

34:13

load all the tabs and people complain

34:16

about ad blocker we don't use an ad

34:18

blocker because we make money from ads

34:20

on YouTube so it's a hypocrisy thing but

34:24

we would like you to not use an ad

34:26

blocker just like these people would so

34:27

we let us serve you ads while we block

34:31

the ads from the people whose sources

34:33

were using to show that yeah it's

34:34

we're not gonna do that so what we go

34:37

through is we load all the tabs and

34:38

chrome grinds to a halt then we use one

34:41

tab and we reload them all at once

34:43

and it's okay because the tracking

34:44

scripts kick in after other things have

34:47

loaded today we didn't have to do that

34:48

it's amazing that it has been

34:52

intermittently crashing every tab but we

34:55

can work through that I just want to

34:57

point out that the ads from Adsense

35:00

Google's ID program they are completely

35:02

unaffected it's only the other ad

35:04

platform it is kind of funny that it's

35:06

you know like the ad company is giving

35:09

you an ad blocker but not for their

35:12

stuff so

35:13

Facebook is shedding users left and

35:16

right how long like what's the

35:17

over-under before we see a psychotic

35:19

break from Zuckerberg that could be cuz

35:24

he's got the money yeah I feel like

35:26

really go super villain and do something

35:28

crazy but it lost 2.8 million users

35:31

under 25 last year and 2018 is probably

35:33

going to be the same or worse and the

35:35

the biggest loss was 14 to 17 yes

35:37

something like that so those are your of

35:40

course under 25 is you that's all good

35:43

but 14 to 17 those are kind of like the

35:46

people who if you can groom them and

35:49

your product as they grow up and then

35:51

when they start making money you've got

35:53

them that's the best way to be disney

35:56

Hasbro but it remembers transformers and

36:00

oh look what they did to transplants and

36:03

look how much money they got from it

36:04

like they planted that seed they didn't

36:06

know what they were doing and then years

36:08

later they've got so much fruit from it

36:10

now that is from a third-party Market

36:13

Watch type side so this is not

36:16

Facebook's numbers but these people

36:18

that's what they predict is happening

36:20

with Facebook based on whatever metric

36:21

they're using I don't know finding hard

36:23

to believe

36:24

definitely rough here for advertising in

36:25

general as people become more hardened

36:27

to advertising and advertisers seem to

36:30

think that doubling down on the

36:31

invasiveness and pervasiveness of

36:33

advertising is the way to solve that

36:35

problem

36:35

it didn't Facebook post profits this

36:37

year yeah yeah so that just goes to show

36:39

you that it's not about how many users

36:41

they've got it's about how much data

36:43

they can mine from those users in sell

36:45

and they're doing very well with that

36:47

kind of like when Freud discovered

36:49

psychological manipulation in a world

36:51

that had not seen that previously and

36:52

it's like we can convince women to smoke

36:54

we can convince people to eat pork

36:56

bellies it will be fine

36:58

storage one at a time even assuming

37:00

spoiler alert it wasn't fine it

37:06

definitely wasn't fine but AMD is

37:08

sending out free processors to solve the

37:10

firmware flashing catch-22 which is

37:12

actually probably fine so the deal is

37:15

the rising three twenty two hundred

37:18

thousand five twenty five hundred these

37:21

have a go graphics built in but their

37:23

new CPUs but they fit in a existing a m4

37:25

motherboard

37:26

unless you pick up a motherboard that

37:28

has a flash bios on it that supports

37:31

those CPUs it's not going to boot so you

37:33

could potentially buy a motherboard and

37:35

processors that are physically

37:36

compatible but because the software is

37:38

out of date on the motherboard

37:39

you can't boot and you can't update the

37:41

software on the motherboard to make it

37:42

compatible with the CPU there are some

37:45

motherboards that let you flash from a

37:47

USB stick without a processor so it's

37:49

not an issue for those motherboards but

37:51

for other motherboards that have the

37:53

problem AMD is gonna send you out a

37:55

really cheap barely functional super

37:58

crappy a.m. for CPU to help you get your

38:00

motherboard flashed really cheap

38:02

now you do have to send it back but

38:04

that's really cool I think that's a

38:06

that's a great way to solve that problem

38:07

I mean it's annoying because you have to

38:09

build the PC install one update and then

38:13

tear it down and build it back again so

38:17

but hey that's better than nothing I

38:19

guess that is better than nothing and

38:21

yes I am buddy would like you to return

38:22

that super super crappy process yeah

38:25

well I'm sure the only reason they

38:26

wanted Mac is so they can send it to the

38:28

next guy yeah it's not about and they

38:31

probably are like how are we gonna we

38:33

got all this crap in storage we don't

38:35

want to pay the the cost to have it

38:37

recycled what are you gonna do with it

38:39

just mail amount enough people won't

38:41

send it back we'll be done with them

38:42

now you can't avoid the problem

38:43

completely if you get four series

38:45

motherboards like 470 or the equivalent

38:48

but those are not out yet so if you're

38:50

you know it's kind of scared of PC

38:52

building you can wait a little bit to

38:54

get that if you have a retailer like

38:56

Fry's or Micro Center or other local

38:58

retailer they have a sticker if you have

38:59

a local computer shop I shouldn't charge

39:01

you much for updating your motherboard

39:03

for you and like I say a lot of

39:05

motherboards especially the higher-end

39:06

motherboards have a way to flash without

39:08

a processor you just have to look in

39:09

your manual

39:10

so don't know we've got some of those

39:12

CPUs on the way they're not here yet but

39:14

I can't wait to play with them because

39:15

rising 5 rising 3 and rising 5 with

39:18

integrated graphics especially with the

39:19

way the GPU processes are right now

39:21

would be a really it seems like it'll be

39:23

a really great way to build a good

39:25

entry-level PC but that remains to be

39:27

seen until I get my hands on it so we'll

39:29

see AI is helping seismologists detect

39:33

earthquakes that they would otherwise

39:34

miss we have a major earthquake in

39:36

Mexico and I don't know if it was an AI

39:38

system but there was a

39:39

I had like a 90 second warning to Mexico

39:42

City from the earthquake the idea here

39:44

is it's signal the noise like we can

39:48

monitor the ground but with these small

39:51

earthquakes you really can't tell us

39:53

like is that just regular weirdness

39:54

going on so at the beginnings of

39:55

something bad so what the IAI is sort of

39:59

a neural net it's trying to learn the

40:02

difference between background geological

40:05

noise and actual earthquakes and so I

40:08

don't think they've got it doing that

40:10

yet but that is the proposal of and they

40:13

suspect they will be able to detect

40:16

magnitude negative one I didn't know

40:18

that scale wind but you know really

40:21

small earthquakes and like you say try

40:24

to learn patterns of like oh wait this

40:27

might be becoming something serious does

40:29

anybody out there can verify that we're

40:31

feeding it data from Yellowstone because

40:33

I'm really worried about the super

40:34

caldera and Yellowstone likes five to

40:36

ten years like can we get like a

40:38

two-year one I don't think we have data

40:42

from Pompeii we're probably going to

40:45

shut those listening stations down for

40:47

budgetary reasons America yeah this

40:54

could be really good that's it it's a

40:55

really clean you see III everywhere so

40:57

that's that's sort of a lot of fun this

41:00

one I don't neural networks are

41:02

everywhere yeah this is what sort of

41:04

leads into this I don't know how this is

41:06

about the they've built a chip that it's

41:11

so the neural nets the bottleneck is

41:14

moving from memory to processor oh yeah

41:17

data locality so what they've done with

41:19

these is they've tried to mimic the

41:21

brain synapses and they've built an

41:23

analogue way of processing in the memory

41:27

itself so there is no move from memory

41:31

to processor you've got like this weird

41:33

analog thing and it works with voltages

41:35

and like multiplying them because in a

41:37

neural net you you take from the level

41:41

below it you take it up and then based

41:42

on the truth level of it or whatever I

41:44

guess you multiply it by a certain

41:46

amount so there's doing that with

41:47

voltages electricity and then moving it

41:50

on and they claim it's 95% faster and

41:52

lower

41:53

power it'll be interesting to see a

41:55

commercial product based on this until I

41:56

can run tensorflow or open ml or

41:58

something on it it's dead to me I don't

42:00

understand well these are targeted

42:02

toward mobile good so like with most

42:04

mobile apps that do any kind of AI

42:06

you're just doing it on a cloud

42:07

somewhere moving it back I kept

42:09

expecting it to say that Google's image

42:11

processing ai Google's got some kind of

42:13

an AI image processing chip in the pixel

42:15

too that they only just recently

42:16

activated with their last Android update

42:19

and I kept expecting this to say this oh

42:21

there's a prototype of this in that but

42:22

no things too new so but that would be

42:25

cool it well it would be cool but it's

42:27

also you gotta think about the

42:28

terrifying aspect of it like those

42:30

Chinese glasses a eyeglasses but there's

42:35

gonna be a lot smaller but maybe it's

42:37

just a lapel pin yeah so on a rainy day

42:41

you can't immediately notice who is

42:42

scanning you look into my lapel pin mr.

42:45

Anderson you know what else has become

42:50

the holy grail of AI raising pigs I've

42:53

been on a pig farm before and let me

42:55

tell you it's not a pleasant experience

42:56

[Laughter]

42:58

that's almost like they're filthy

43:00

animals I was surprised in one of the

43:02

most amazing things about this story

43:03

China is the number one producer

43:08

exporter and importer of pork like well

43:13

couldn't I exporters and the importers

43:14

get together I'm lucky hey guys let's

43:16

just solve logistics problem right now I

43:19

don't know about pork but there was a

43:21

thing I was working on once and with

43:22

chicken it there's a there's a I think

43:25

India is like that with chicken and so

43:27

India imports a crazy amount of dark

43:30

meat chicken but they export a crazy

43:32

amount of white meat chicken and so

43:34

America is all about the white meat

43:36

chicken and India is all about the dark

43:38

meat chicken and so we exchange chicken

43:39

parts which seems really crazy it's like

43:42

half the chicken goes here the other

43:43

half of the chicken goes there so you

43:44

think they're eating like boobs and the

43:47

faces and stuff and they're sending us

43:48

the bellies so we can make bacon oh but

43:51

the AI part of this is they are going to

43:54

mark all these pigs I guess they brand

43:56

them like they said mark them but I'm

43:57

pretty sure that's branding and the AI I

44:00

guess it's got like a sits up high

44:03

somewhere and it

44:04

monitors the pigs help with by looking

44:07

at the marks and sort of noticing oh

44:09

it's growing well or they've also got

44:11

microphones so figure depicts coughing

44:13

with their discoloration whatever this

44:15

AI is basically tending the pigs because

44:18

there's so many of them and if it feels

44:19

like a pig is something's wrong with it

44:21

it just sends a message it's like hey

44:23

come and check out this pig with this

44:25

marking but you know there's a lot of

44:27

similarities between the the pig pens

44:30

and veal fattening farms and the

44:33

bog-standard American work cubicle so

44:36

you know I'm imagining an AI or it's

44:39

like Wilbur comes in and it's like good

44:40

morning Wilbur you know how are you

44:42

doing today oh I see that you've gained

44:43

0.6 pounds you are almost ready for the

44:45

harvest this is great and that say my

44:47

eye is running it's like you know mr.

44:49

Wilbur comes into his cube and it's like

44:50

good morning Wilbur I see that your

44:51

productivity is up 0.6% you remember the

44:54

AI that's gonna monitor people in

44:57

hospitals so they don't die that's

44:59

almost exactly the same because it's

45:00

collecting all these different kinds of

45:02

metrics from what the pigs are up to and

45:04

what the patients are up to and trying

45:06

to decide you know things about them so

45:08

basically the same software can't wait

45:11

for somebody to inject that into Cortana

45:12

I said Cortana the pig farmer that

45:14

sounds on my that's that's our toggle

45:15

for this week Cortana the pig farmer you

45:19

know of course with Facebook and all

45:21

that stuff that the data is gonna be

45:24

there so it's gonna be real easy to

45:26

apply that AI to our daily lives

45:28

you said know what's your desk and

45:29

there's an envelope there and you open

45:30

it it's just some pills and it's like oh

45:32

yes Wilbur I noticed that your Facebook

45:34

status said that you know something

45:36

something something you've been

45:37

increased your allotment of happy pills

45:38

for this week by 17% well so your

45:42

postings on paste Facebook are down you

45:45

know against the average and they're

45:47

sadder than usual so you get both

45:49

wellbutrin and adderall so it's like

45:53

let's get those numbers up we're gonna

45:55

see it within our lifetime folks isn't

45:57

it exciting we joke about it but there's

46:00

at least three or four people watching

46:02

they're taking notes for their novel

46:03

that they're working on which won't even

46:06

be you know like a future novel by the

46:09

time they get it but um it's proof read

46:11

will already be there and like we say AI

46:13

being used to fight fatal infections in

46:15

hospital in hospitals they're turning

46:18

- AI and returning to algorithms to

46:19

track that and keep track of it in order

46:23

to cut the the rate of infection

46:26

there's the c diff infection which is

46:28

huge problem in hospitals and i don't

46:30

know if they so the monitor i think

46:32

where you go so they know what the

46:34

high-risk zones are and it monitors the

46:36

patient's vitals and stuff like that and

46:38

again just puts all these things

46:41

together to try to figure out who might

46:43

be infected and then deal with them the

46:46

feds have charged a 24 year old chicago

46:48

trader in the first crypto fraud case

46:49

now i read this and i expected to have

46:51

all sorts but to walk away with all it's

46:53

like all prosecutors horribly

46:55

misunderstand this and no crime has

46:56

occurred like no i think actually a

46:58

crime probably has occurred here oh for

46:59

sure yeah this guy was a Dix's gambling

47:02

and he was doing the crypto gambling

47:05

like the crypto casinos those dark web

47:08

crypto casinos don't do that

47:10

there is no some of them claim that they

47:12

use like the blockchain their own

47:14

blockchain to mathematically prove that

47:16

the numbers you got were correct but you

47:19

think this guy was able to like really

47:21

parse that and prove anyway he lost big

47:24

but he worked with a company to do

47:26

crypto so he just kept moving out of the

47:28

company's wallet into his own wallet and

47:29

you know throwing good money after bad

47:31

trying to win back his losses and i

47:34

never did he never did though and so but

47:37

they've only charged him with one count

47:38

of wire fraud which i mean again

47:41

having read a lot of these cases it

47:43

always seems like they're coming really

47:45

really hard they're coming down really

47:46

hard on the perp disproportionately and

47:49

in this case based on the way that the

47:50

article was written in the information

47:52

that was any article well he didn't have

47:55

to quote unquote hack anything yeah cuz

47:58

he had access to it this would be the

48:00

same as if you were you know you had

48:03

some sort of power of attorney or

48:04

something or you had you were cpa and

48:06

you're just writing yourself checks out

48:08

of the account yeah Atari is jumping on

48:12

the crypto bandwagon so I just like my

48:15

eyes glaze over at the headline honestly

48:17

it's cuz why they didn't give any

48:19

details about exactly how it's going to

48:20

work but Atari every show that's right

48:23

every time a company puts the word block

48:26

chain or announces something about blog

48:29

saying the blockchain T company they

48:31

in that one this happens so Atari maybe

48:35

has just jumped in on this but they've

48:37

announced that they're gonna come out

48:38

though remember they were talking about

48:39

their new console but we haven't seen

48:41

anything about it yet there were some

48:43
