Happy New Year to all fans & readers from the SAMUEL BECKETT page!
It is fashionable to romanticise entrepreneurs. But reality can be as romantic as chewing glass. First-time founders have the job security of zero-hour contract workers, the money worries of chronic gamblers and the social life of hermits
Citizen Lab brought in Lookout to help examine the code. Together, they discovered that the spyware relied on three previously unknown iOS vulnerabilities — called “zero days” because Apple didn’t know about them and had zero days to patch them.
“公民实验室”请Lookout来协助研究这些代码。他们在合作中发现，这款间谍软件依赖之前不为人知的三个iOS安全漏洞。它们被叫做“零日”(zero days)，因为苹果不知道它们，没花哪怕一天时间去修复它们。

…Thus the discourse of contract eludes two plenitudes: it permits the observing the golden rule of any habituation, discerned in Shikidai passageway : no will-to-seize yet no oblation.
no quantity or number; nought; the figure 0:figures from zero to nineyou’ve left off a zero—it should be five hundred million
a point on a scale or instrument from which a positive or negative quantity is reckoned:the gauge dropped to zero [as modifier]:a zero rate of interest

The Internet is full of bugs, and Google just launched a superhero team to kill 'em all.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
A new team at Google is aiming to be the cybersecurity superheroes of the Internet.
They're looking to exterminate those nasty computer bugs that let hackers and government spies sneak into our computers -- not just for Google, but for everyone.
The special team is called Google Project Zero. And whether you use products by Adobe(ADBE), Apple(AAPL, Tech30), Microsoft(MSFT, Tech30) or software most people don't know by name, the team is working on it.
"You should be able to use the Web without fear that a criminal or state-sponsored actor is exploiting software bugs to infect your computer, steal secrets or monitor your communications," Chris Evans, a Google researcher who's leading the new effort, wrote in a blog post.
Project Zero is made up of some of the world's smartest, well-intentioned hackers. They spend their days poking at holes in computer code we all rely on -- and making sure those holes get patched.
The Project Zero name comes from the very types of bugs they're trying to eliminate: "zero day" vulnerabilities, which are never-before-seen software flaws that hackers love to exploit.
When Google researchers discover flaws in another company's software, they'll quietly alert that firm. If nothing gets done soon, they'll go public with it on their blog. And if the bug is particularly critical, they'll put extra pressure on the company and try to develop an alternative themselves, Google(GOOG) told Wired, which first reported the story.
Project Zero was founded by the philosopher Nelson Goodman at the Harvard Graduate School of Education in 1967 to study and improve education in the arts. Goodman believed that arts learning should be studied as a serious cognitive activity, but that "zero" had yet been firmly established about the field; hence, the project was given its name.
