Utah has more than 4,000 unfilled tech jobs, and the grant is part of the state’s Deep Technology Talent Initiative (DTTI), which aims to expand academic tech programs and collaborate with local tech giants like Adobe, Northrup Grumman, and FireEye. Alongside the new programs at both schools, the companies will provide work experience for students through internships, capstones, and laboratory work. Both UVU’s Center for National Security Studies and USU’s Center for Anticipatory Intelligence are part of the Intermountain Intelligence, Industry and Security Consortium (I3SC), which hopes to equip students to fill roles in Utah’s “Silicon Slopes....

The session was done in preparation for the US telco’s expansion of its 5G Ultra Wideband serivce, its mmWave service, which will use its newly acquired C-band spectrum. The pair’s trials were conducted over Verizon’s network in Texas, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. They used Samsung’s virtualised RAN (vRAN) solution, which is built on its own software stack, and C-band 64T64R Massive MIMO radio in coordination with Verizon’s virtualised core. The trials achieved speeds level with that of traditional hardware equipment, the pair claimed....

Multiple speed tests showed that Verizon led the way as the fastest fixed broadband provider in the US for Q2, while T-Mobile was the fastest and most consistent mobile operator with a 54.13 Mbps median download speed. After Verizon, Cox, XFINITY, Spectrum, AT&T Internet and CenturyLink followed on the list of fastest fixed broadband providers. As other reports have shown recently, T-Mobile is also dominating the 5G market, with the Ookla report finding that it has the fastest median 5G download speed at 99....

At the site, VinFast plans to produce electric cars and buses, as well as EV batteries....

Karen Mangia, best-selling author of Working From Home: Making the New Normal Work For You and vice president customer and market insights at Salesforce, and I had the privilege of hosting an interactive roundtable with brilliant leaders from around the world who are investing to build a more sustainable future as part of the United Nations General Assembly’s Sustainability Week. “If there’s one thing for certain in 2020, it’s the fact that it’s no longer business as usual,” Natalia Latimer, vice president at Salesforce, shares to open the session....

The consortium, called Voyage, will pay around AU$3.5 billion, or AU$5.50 per share, to fully acquire Vocus. The deal gained court approval at the NSW Supreme Court on Thursday and received the stamp of approval by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission on Friday morning, which finalised the deal. Prior to that, shareholders earlier this week voted almost unanimously for the deal to go ahead, with over 99% of votes being cast in favour of the sale to Voyage....

According to analysis of the ‘callback phishing’ attacks by cybersecurity researchers at Palo Alto Networks Unit 42, the social-engineering campaign is worryingly successful, which is leading to a growth in the infrastructure behind attacks, as the cyber criminals try to make as much money as possible. The attacks are similar to previously identified campaigns that used phishing emails containing malicious documents to trick victims into installing BazarLoader backdoor malware. The malware was used to access the network, steal data and blackmail the victim into paying an extortion fee to prevent the data being leaked....

Also: Now you can download the Apple Lisa’s source code The Apple Lisa actually came with a hard drive (all of five megabytes – not gigabytes or terabytes, but megabytes). It also shipped with floppy disk drives, but rather than using the standard (at the time) 5-inch floppies, Apple created its own completely unique 5-inch floppy format with a second data-read/write slot. That dog didn’t hunt either. But there were some innovations that would stand the test of time, as well....

What are the responsibilities of the the Chief Data Officer? CDOs should be on the look-out for ways to find opportunities for and through data analytics, whether that’s predicting customer trends or finding new revenue-generating opportunities. That data might be customer data, data gathered from Internet of Things sensors, social media, structured, or unstructured data; anything that the organisation gathers itself of buys in from elsewhere. The CDO must ensure the data is secured and maintained, but the role is not simply about deciding the technical aspects, like whether the information should be held in a data warehouse or a data lake or master data management....

Starlink primarily focuses on delivering high-speed, low-latency broadband internet in remote and rural locations globally. As of September 2022, service starts at $110 per montly with a one-time hardware cost of $599. Starlink claims that it’s available across all seven continents – in September 2022, the US National Science Foundation announced it was testing Starlink’s “polar service” in Antarctica. However, as of mid-September 2022, the Starlink site says that service across Africa is “coming soon....

“Biologist” is an umbrella term encompassing many professions involving studying life and living things.

The board was part of the executive order that President Joe Biden signed last year. Experts have long urged the federal government to create an organization for cybersecurity incidents akin to the National Transportation Safety Board, which investigates airplane crashes and transportation incidents. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said the board will “thoroughly assess past events, ask the hard questions, and drive improvements across the private and public sectors.” DHS said the board will start its first work on issues related to Log4J because vulnerabilities associated with the software library “are being exploited by a growing set of threat actors” and “present an urgent challenge to network defenders....

All the data nodes in a graph database are connected. These are databases that use graph structures for semantic queries with nodes, edges, and properties to represent and store data. A key concept of the system is the graph itself, which connects information with a subject or topic far in advance so that the time spent by the querier is substantially lessened. Graph DBs are now being used for a rapidly increasing number of use cases....

Since that time, the company – once vying with Samsung for the world’s #1 smartphone company – has seen its smartphone fortunes fall precipitously. Far worse than failing to enter the U.S., its share in markets outside of China has plummeted as the Trump and Biden administrations have banned it from licensing Google Mobile Services. The key collection of applications and APIs that enables Google goodies such as the Play Store elevates Android smartphone experiences beyond the baseline Android Open Source Project....

That’s misleading for two reasons. First, a significant portion of your income is never taxed at all. Virtually everyone is eligible for some tax deductions – even if you don’t have many, you’ll still get the standard deduction, which means that some of your income is never taxed at all. The second reason is that high tax brackets only affect a portion of your income, the amount that’s over that threshold....

It’s been redesigned to be consistent with the look and feel of Windows 11’s overhauled user interface (UI), with components like the toolbar being brushed over with more of the Microsoft Fluent Design system that informed the refreshed Paint app icon, as well as rounded edges on the window. The Paint app no longer ships with the operating system, but users will be able to download and update the Windows 11-friendly version from the Microsoft Store....
