Moritz, who spent decades at Sequoia Capital and has known Tan for nearly four decades, highlighted the CEO's previous turnaround of Cadence Design Systems .

This post is Part 2 of our educational series on Amazon ECS security. In Part 1 – Under the Hood of Amazon ECS on EC2, we explored how the ECS agent, IAM roles and the ECS control plane provide credentials to tasks. Here we’ll demonstrate how those mechanisms can lead to a known risk when tasks with different privilege levels share the same EC2 host. This cross-task credential exposure highlights the inherent risks of relying on per-task IAM scoping and task execution boundaries when workloads s

After The Marvels and Deadpool & Wolverine laid the groundwork for more Fox X-Men to return, Avengers: Doomsday is going all in by bringing back several non-Wolverine (or Professor X) characters from the original films. Among them is James Marsden, who played Cyclops in that initial trilogy and didn’t really get to do much in them. Speaking to Vanity Fair, the actor recalled “20 years of listening to people say, ‘When are you coming back? When are you coming back? Are you coming back?’ But I’m

This is the Android 17 codename, and it’s not what you guessed

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-30 08:00:48

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority For most of Android’s history, Google publicly referred to each release by a version number and a codename. Traditionally, the codename was a dessert like Marshmallow, Jelly Bean, or Froyo. With the release of Android 10 in 2019, however, Google ended this public practice to make its branding more globally accessible. Internally, though, the company’s developers kept the sweet tradition alive. Following that tradition, Google’s developers have recently decided

How Does an Electric Bicycle Work? (2025)

wired.com Stephanie Pearson 2025-12-02 09:00:00

An electric bicycle—it's a regular bicycle, but with a motor on it! There are enough moving pieces on these personal mobility vehicles to make buying one confusing. Even if you're pretty sure you know what an electric bicycle is—and that you're not, riding, say, an electric motorcycle from a dealership—the technology changes almost daily. Over the past 10 years, battery capacity has increased by around 50 percent, according to Joe Buckley, the e-mountain bike product manager at Specialized. In
