Supply chain

Cybersecurity executives in the automotive sector must embrace new organizational and product security standards that drive collaboration across the supply chain. Vehicle communication networks such as the controller area network (CAN) are not designed to authenticate message traffic. Now, rapid shifts in technology have introduced hyper-connectivity and automation that must be securely integrated into vehicles. Vehicles now include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, satellite, cellular, NFC and other communication stacks that enable vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure and personal connectivity. Hardware is integrated in support of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) in order to automate functions and safeguard drivers. Without a holistic approach to cybersecurity across the OEMs and myriad tier suppliers, these integrations cannot happen securely. The automotive industry is now moving toward the adoption of cybersecurity standards that enable OEMs and suppliers to better understand … [Read more...] about Safe and Secure Transportation Systems

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 2 In civilian life, Taras Myronyuk conducted a Ukrainian orchestra that toured the world — including gigs in San Francisco — and taught music at a university in Kviv. But after Russia invaded his country this year , the 51-year-old father of three enlisted in the nation’s armed forces and is now a combat engineer with the rank of sergeant. In his company of 62 people, only two had body armor as of late March, he said. “Ballistic protection is the biggest need that soldiers have, as well as medical supplies such as tourniquets, all of which can save a great deal of lives,” he said via text message. Now, Myronyuk and his cohorts have a dozen ballistic vests, paid for by his nephew, Andrew Vasylyk, co-founder of San Francisco’s StartupSoft, which hires Ukrainian engineers to work remotely for U.S. tech companies. That’s obviously not enough. The scarcity of body armor is repeated among … [Read more...] about Ukrainian soldiers urgently need body armor. This San Francisco company wants to help

“At least two children in Tennessee are being treated at the hospital due to [Joe Biden’s] nationwide formula shortage,” reports Fox 8. “According to WMC , neither doctors nor their families can find the formula these children need on store shelves.” This is happening … in America. No, not in America… It’s happening in Joe Biden’s America. And this is what happens when you give Democrats political power. You see, above all — unless, of course, you’re an illegal alien — Democrats believe in scarcity. Less is what Democrats believe in. Less for everyone. Baby formula is one of the most affected products in the dysfunctional supply chain, causing fear and the urge to hoard in parents. https://t.co/uoIrhSEdfZ — Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) May 9, 2022 Less energy , less water , less speech , less housing , and (unless you’re an illegal alien) , less baby formula.

Over the last 25 years, polarization, extremism, and support for political violence have drastically increased in the U.S., while trust in government and democratic institutions has eroded. These troubling trends led to President Trump's 2016 election and the deadly January 6 insurrection. And today, far-right forces are campaigning on the Big Lie, with at least 57 insurrectionists running for office across the country as of January 2022. The threat to our democracy is real, and the stakes couldn't be higher. We're at a turning point. We can sit back and watch our politics become more and more toxic, or we can elect moderate, pragmatic leaders willing to defend our democracy. It's clear which path we should take. As extremes of the political spectrum get louder and move farther apart, the key to protecting our republic rests in the center. That is who we in the New Democrat Coalition are, and what we represent. New Dems have defended democracy and governed for the majority of … [Read more...] about Meet the New Dems—the moderate members defending our democracy | Opinion

by Matthew Rusling WASHINGTON, May 18 (Xinhua) -- After two monotonous years of working from home amid the pandemic, Americans are opening their wallets, going out and spending - despite record inflation. But this may not last. Retail sales, a measure of how much consumers spend on products including food, automobile and gasoline, increased 0.9 percent in April from the prior month, the U.S. Commerce Department reported Tuesday. "The surprisingly robust jump in retail sales is a very good sign," Bernard Baumohl, chief global economist at The Economic Outlook Group, told Xinhua. "I think it's an indication that Americans are still willing to spend, despite the fact that they have shown to be in a dour mood when the confidence surveys are taken," Baumohl said. "The key thing here is to keep an eye on what consumers are actually doing, not how they describe their feelings," Baumohl said, referring to recent consumer sentiment polls that do not track actual spending. The … [Read more...] about News Analysis: Americans shell out cash on retail, despite record inflation

EU countries and lawmakers agreed on Friday to tougher cybersecurity rules for large energy, transport and financial firms, digital providers and medical device makers amid concerns about cyber attacks by state actors and other malicious players.

BRUSSELS — The world economy is heading into a potentially grim period as rising costs, shortages of food and other commodities and Russia’s continuing invasion of Ukraine threaten to slow economic growth and bring about a painful global slump. Two years after the coronavirus pandemic emerged and left much of the globe in a state of paralysis, policymakers are grappling with ongoing challenges, including clogged supply chains , lockdowns in China and the prospect of an energy crisis as nations wean themselves off Russian oil and gas . Those colliding forces have some economists starting to worry about a global recession as different corners of the world find their economies battered by events. Finding ways to avoid a slowdown while continuing to exert pressure on Russia for its war in Ukraine will be the primary focus of finance ministers from the Group of 7 nations who are convening in Bonn, Germany, this week. At a news conference on Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Janet L. … [Read more...] about Economic Headwinds Mount as Leaders Weigh Costs of Confronting Russia

Yesterday it was Walmart . Today is was Target’s turn to report quarterly results that showed sales soaring but profits crashing as the company was hit by higher costs for goods, shipping, and headcount. Shares were down by 27.6 percent after the company said that fuel and freight costs will be $1 billion higher this year than it expected. Headcount, compensation, and product costs were up as well. The company said it sees no signs of the cost pressures easing in the second half of the year. Target said it would try not to pass on the increased costs to customers, hoping that it can sacrifice some short-term profit to win market share from competitors. The results, and Target’s reaction, undermine the claim by the Biden administration and Capitol Hill Democrats such as Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Bernie Sanders (Ind-VT) that corporate profiteering and price gouging are fueling inflation. The results also highlight the drag the ESG energy crisis is having on the U.S. … [Read more...] about Target Shares Crash After Inflation Crushes Earnings
