Readit NewsI mean... why would I want this app instead of some other app? Just because it's written in the language of the week? If it said "20% faster than xyz" it would be a much better marketing than saying it's written in rust, even though more than half the code is typescript.
Well I guess that'll help?!

This seems to be the opposite of
> It's not a security standard. It defines a small number of extremely broad goals
Is this because of the specific auditors we were using? Are some more sympathetic than others to contemporary engineering practices?
This doesn’t surprise me one bit, in my case our auditors didn’t have a clue what GitHub was and we had to explain how code reviews and deployment pipelines worked. And these are the people who are tasked with certifying whether we’re doing our job correctly.
Sure, maybe it’s because we didn’t pick good auditors. But the accountants certified those auditors, and the whole point of certification is that we can rely on it to establish basic knowledge.
> SOC 2 is a security and compliance framework created by the AICPA
How is it that a group of accountants (the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) was able to create a security framework for software, and position themselves as the sole gatekeeper who decides which auditors are allowed to certify SaaS vendors?
I’m surprised that companies would look to accountants, rather than people from the tech industry, to tell them whether a vendor has good IT security practices.
Yet the whole tech industry seems to be on board with this, even Google, Microsoft, etc. How did this come to be?
> Out of over 17,000 Android apps examined, more than 9,000 had potential permissions to take screenshots. And a number of apps were found to actively be doing so, taking screenshots and sending them to third-party sources.
Which permission is that, and how do you detect which apps are doing that and stop them?
> Unlike the camera and audio APIs, the APIs for taking screenshots and recording video of the screen are not protected by any permission
However they also talk about doing static analysis on 9,100 out of the 17,260 apps, to determine (amongst other things) “whether media APIs are actually referenced in the app’s code”.
They then talk about doing a dynamic analysis to see which apps actually call the APIs (rather than just link to a library that might call it, but the app never calls that function the library).
The soundbite is bad, it shouldn’t say “had potential permissions to take screenshots”, it should just say “had the potential to take screenshots”
That is a weak pour. Not even an ounce of hooch. I definitely would not go back to that bar.
> The definition of what constitutes a standard drink varies very widely between countries,[2] with what each country defines as the amount of pure alcohol in a standard drink ranging from 8 to 20 grams.
> The sample questionnaire form for the World Health Organization's Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) uses 10 g (0.35 oz),[3] and this definition has been adopted by more countries than any other amount.

This is normal for asian maps, Japan does the same thing for example.

This is common in Australia too.
