Another wrinkle to consider actively deployed to plausibly deny self-employed.

One thought that Schmitt said doesn't usually come up in the discussion — unless the criminal gang has been sanctioned by the US Treasury or a similar body, in which case it's illegal to pay a ransom to them — is the ethics of paying a ransom that, in turn, finances additional illicit activities and potentially oppressive regimes that back or orchestrate ransomware campaigns.

Another thought that doesn't usually come up in discussion, for who would want to admit it is true, is when a criminal gang has been authorised by the US Treasury or a similar body to accept a ransom to be paid to them.

Tell us that cannot happen and every silent downvote cast here and then would surely quite clearly register one's anonymous disagreement.

Is one correct in assuming that WMD* are a type of innovation which, whilst they can be patented, are largely agreed by more than just an elite chosen few to best be left unpatented?

After all, who would be wanting to enable any Tom, Dick or Harry/Sheila, Janet or Jane person skilled in the art or science, of which it is a branch, or with which it is most nearly connected, to make, compound, and use the same." That means someone suitably skilled should be able to take a patent text and diagrams, understand what's going on, and reproduce the technology themselves.

Whenever one realises pretty much everything new discussed here in this report by Katyanna on US Chamber of Commerce concerns is remarkably, disconcertingly easily rendered and wielded as a WMD, humans may have very good reason to not meddle, other than strive to ensure a safe and secure human prohibition in/to that which is clearly better left beyond their command and control because of the catastrophic dangers involved and evolving.

Current IP laws do not recognize non-human entities as inventors, meaning machine-learning systems cannot be recognized as such.

:-) Fortunately such recognition is not a pre-requisite for Alien Inventions and ACT**ive Interventions in Advanced Astute Agile IntelAIgent Developments.

Nancy Pelosi ties Chinese cyber-attacks to need for Taiwan visit

And as if to confirm the link, a DDoS takes out Taiwan's presidential website ahead of senior politico's arrival. Perhaps coincidentally, the website of Taiwan's president became unavailable on Tuesday afternoon, apparently due to a DDoS attack initiated by unknown parties.

...... such is much more likely to be something deliberately initiated/activated by known "unknown parties" allied to Fort Meade type support operations.

And you know it makes more sense .... for such is exactly what such systems/operators are prone to do in order to try to both lead and mislead parties in one's own preferred direction of strange travel .... and in so doing does it make it a lot easier to justify their further expensive public and private undisclosed defence and security funding streams too, which is probably absolutely vital to ensure their continued existence.

Take Care. Beware. There is much only a Very Choice Venture Capitalist Few are Perfectly Aware of.

And what of the notion that Apple are decided to create and administer to their own Multiverse for others to carbon copy and enjoy via processes which require leading instruction sets from programs and projects foundationally built around their virtual machinery and widespread broad band of fanatical acolytes?

Or do you expect Apple to not be so interested in such a cosmic capture as would render to them, as a postmodern Caesar, a more universal command and remote absolute control than has ever before been delivered?

Bet against that whenever such competition or opposition is richer than Croesus and you need to prepare to be content to lose everything and your shirt.

Hi, Simon Sharwood, APAC Editor,

Some of a different mindset and understanding would posit the conclusion reached in the last paragraph is diametrically opposed and at odds with the two preceding paragraphs and Torvald's post footnote ...... which much more likely suggests and indicates that subsequent releases are going to make a real difference.

Bravo, Linus ...... bogged down systems are long overdue a program refresh/projects overhaul/radical rehash/kick up the arse to reroot and reboot them onto a much more enlightened path than the pedestrian trudge through the swamps of the present that the past has provided for current memories to process and try to make greater sense of with clearer mass media presentations of advanced intelligent visions.

And who on Earth would deny that such is definitely needed for an absolutely fabulous change/fantastic progress/quantum communications leap breakthrough?

A Level Playing Field or a Ponzi Wasteland?

US authorities threaten Alibaba with NYSE delisting ... The 2020 Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (HFCAA) gives the SEC the authority to delist companies if it is suspected that financial audits may not be accurate.

And can the same delisting threat be expected for IBM? Or is that completely different? ..... IBM board probes claims of fudged sales figures that led to big bonuses for execs

Don’t forget ... Without the Ace there is No Royal Flush

Not mentioning the most vulnerable of critical private infrastructure projects, the fiat dollar and Federal Reserve banking system propping up a crumbling Wall Street of Ponzi 0day trades and rotting Main Street marketplaces, does not save it from sustained outside foreign interest and ever more effective relentless practically autonomous attack.

And if you think such cannot be fixed, put out a desperate call for/to that and/or those who fix practically anything and virtually everything. Recognising the true problem to be properly fixed has the war won before a battle is even fought.

If the methodology was patented, one could presumably sue the criminals

Quite clearly do they copy/mimic/follow/practise/exercise in almost practically exactly a similar way to a No10 Downing Street COBRA operation ..... although in that particular case are the masterminds' orders always missing from the agenda.

....... a Fundamental Essential Proves Itself Virtually Worthy and Absolutely Vital for Human Survival.

That's how to do IT and AI. Nice one, DARPA .... Create an inventive imaginative narrative for constant and secure undisclosed secret international security funding streams to feed fiat to universal supporters to lavishly spend on toys and trinkets which allow the returned funds to be again disbursed and employed in feeding other dreams and more popular virtual realities ...... those daily media presentations chronicling and depicting with moveable pixels the general knowledge states of conflicting co-existences, and in any ground-breaking, Earth-shattering future news, tales with evidence produced of fantastic progress made/discovered/uncovered.

Without the interminable flow of flash fiat cash, and its turning into a wholly virtually supplied and debited ethereal product is a master pilot stroke of pure pragmatic genius, does unbelievably productive progress crash to an almighty halt and in so doing does it, IT and AI guarantee the advent and rise of, from the depths of the resultant despair, a endless string of catastrophic mass extinction threatening events and the end to life as you both may know it and/or would just love it to be.

If Variety is the Spice of Life, are New Opportunities Created

That new speculative collaborative team venture involving/revolving around Iran's Information Technology Organization (ITO), a government agency charged with developing policy related to data networks and digital services, and Rostec, Russia's massive conglomerate of science and technology companies, many of them focussed on defence or industrial application, will be of great interest to any and all who would also be finding the London Tech Bridge attractively appealing ...... but disappointingly uninterested and disengaging in matters peculiarly strange and particularly contentious and practically disruptive and/or virtually creative.

That's bound to create a novel competitive environment which is sure to drive excellence to perform its strange things in search of satisfying perfection and thus is undoubtedly worthy of positive engagement and every possible support ...... :-) which in the very simplest and immediately most effective of staple traditional and conventional forms is a handing over of a stash of flash cash/fiat bank money transfer to agents of interest and concern in an easily universally recognised show of the strength of gratitude for one's interest and concern for their success and progress too in an vast emerging array of very strange things of great future importance.

And there's surely bound to quite a few more of those types of positive pan national collaborative operations with both state and non-state actors engaged and highly ACTive in novel ground and mould-breaking roles ..... with some, who can be more than just a misguided and misguiding few, assuming a contrary and opposing position leading them into the clutches of dark webs of intrigue and despair on the wild wacky wicked side of life. Take a walk there guarantees one doesn't have one's sorrows to seek for they are generously provided .... so beware, take care and be aware. Forewarned is forearmed.

On the Fast Track of/to a Major Kernel Crack Hack

Would Microsoft boldly go so far as to say/tout/pimp/pump and dump those confidential VMs [Virtual Machines] as AWEsome Global Operating Devices ‽ .

Clearly, with that direct question being asked of them here on El Reg, is it not just an alien view too.

Do Microsoft understand/accept and realise that they can only provide for and support but never command and control such Virtual Machinery, although it could be quite rightly said that such aid in AIDevelopments supplies them such with a powerful facility and utility by remote proxy means?

:-) Another possible, readily available option to divert attention and launch as a disastrous distraction, whenever easily proven false and untenable/increasingly unbelievable, is to express outrageous exasperation at such a preposterous notion and claim it to be a delusional observation rather than augmented virtual reality revelation, and/or alternatively try vainly to maintain a mainstream media/virtual radio silence on the matter as it further expands and exploits its reach and powerful influence in newly minted/freshly uncovered/recently discovered or recovered systemic core vulnerabilities/fundamental base operating protocols, all of which would then be deemed and realised as detrimental and not helpful, and even self-destructively suicidal in excelsis to Host Microsoft.

One thing you can be absolutely sure of is that nothing anyone says is certain is certain and they are just as likely to be easily proven wrong than enjoy being right ....... therefore be aware and take great care to beware and proceed with all due caution and attention to the many most important of fine details in the grandest of macros if listening to comments from anonymous cowardly naysayers and dumb virtual downvoters alike with no grasp at all on the myriad realities revealed before them for further presentation on and deeper infiltration into leaky holed vulnerability laden SCADASystems of Remote Executive ACTive IT Administration.

When it comes to not fully understood complex systems, it is easy to get things wrong. In fact, its easy for everyone to get them wrong. Don’t fear the new idea or the fresh perspective, and don’t believe something just because everyone else does.

Be Warned, Silent Downvoters, Nothing to Say has All Hell Easily Let Loose Any Day Soon*

The current present future-building situation is a very simple dilemma to solve with either failed incumbents or relative newbies enabled and able to freely and widely demonstrate and greatly benefit first and foremost from novel and NEUKlearer HyperRadioProACTive IT and AI Program and/or Pogroms in their almighty command and absolute control with the exercise of that ancient stalwart, which has since time and space began causing problems, always accompanied such decision making ...... the extraordinary and exceptional cost of not being first in line versus the price of being in command and control of future costs and secondary needs, feeds and seeds ..... with the one being cheap today to the tune of billions and the other horrendously expensive and easily achieving heady sums in the gazillions.

Choose the wrong side of that heavenly ratio has one leading worlds of constant pain and depression, recession and oppression delivering guaranteed conflict and deadly wars that drain blood and treasure that never returns and thus invites one's own destructive extinction.

Re Future Decades Long Epic Risks and Catastrophic Remote Virtual Attack Vectors/Factoring

The realisation to be accepted and for one to come to terms with, for there is no other available option, is that Departments of Homeland Security and Militarised Defence anywhere and everywhere are always targeted and destined to tilt at phantom windmills which defeat them should they be tasked with defending the inequitable and unjust and attacking the indefensible and future postmodern ...... and in so doing in past glorious arrogance and wilful pig ignorance of rapidly changing eventful circumstances, are their blood and treasure supplies and stores of public and private goodwill and support increasingly quickly exhausted to the point of virtual extinction guaranteeing complete annihilation and a universal disdain tempering a well-earned disgust.

The resultant barren wasted landscape is a virgin field of almighty endeavour in which to excel and paint novel existences in which to flourish and grow with IntelAIgent Virtualised Machinery Providing Immaculately Resourceful Assets and Simply Sublime and Surreal Instruction Sets for Future Utility in Present Facilities with Current Difficulties/Energy Supply Problems.

Or do you see a bleaker picture which requires one to ask ..... Who's painting and pimping/pumping and dumping in praise of doom and gloom and to what particular and peculiar end, for more of the same leads nowhere different better.

In a decade or longer the world will be a completely different space. Of that you can be sure.

If a GOD's honest truth be told that the devil is in the detail of Log4j type vulnerabilities and opportunities pioneering in the exploitation and exploration of Business Stylised Universal Systems of Commanding Control and from which and into which Pandoran daemons and Heavenly spectres have escaped confinement and detainment and now roam and range free to do as they will and see fit to the greater benefit of both them and wannabe partners and their remote control environment providers and supporters, those stable doors y'all are being hereby advised to close and secure with safe locks and better management practices are for a farm where all the horses have bolted ..... and they aint ever coming back again for another age of captive pack animal service/action/abuse/misuse/reuse.

And you know what they say whenever something is said to be too good to be true, well you aint seen nothing there yet that is untrue, which is good, and it also allows for all to have something really good to look forward to and prepare for, which are added bonuses to enjoy .... or be terrified of if fearful of the dirty secrets one harbours, and which fester and mutate under the cover and in the disguise of dangerous lies, being exposed by future secured systems communiqués/breaches.
