Efficiency isn't a number on to its self, it's always relative to some task. If the task of an encryption algorithm is to securely transfer data between parties, then actually being secure and not leaking data via side channels is important in measuring the efficiency.
For example. Many people consider old tungsten light bulbs to be inefficient because they convert most of the energy in to heat, which is wasted when lighting a room. If you use the bulb in a situation where the heat produced is important, like an Easy Bake Oven, the efficiency goes WAY up. When you use a "more efficient" halogen bulb in the same situation it isn't nearly as efficient as the old bulb.
Because they wan't the legislate GMOs out of business. They haven't been able to convince people using rational arguments, so now they have the have laws passed to but scary labels on things they don't like.
Not ALL of them. We have the chance, this year, to elect what may be the one honest politician of our lifetimes. Don't let that opportunity go to waste.
GPS used to be implemented as a separate chip that needed to be powered while it was being used. Turning off GPS would power down the chip and save you some battery. In modern phones the GPS logic is implemented directly in the phone's main CPU. Turning it off has virtually zero effect on power consumption because the CPU needs to be active any way for everything else.

Skeptics should buy up flat beach-front properties if they truly think it's a hoax.
If it is a hoax, the land value will go back up when the hoax is exposed and they'll be jillionaires. If it's not a hoax, the fools get what they deserve.
At 8 cm per century, sea level rise will NEVER directly affect anyone living today that owns a beach-front home.
I did RTFA, but am still confused. It seems a major advantage is that the polymer returns to its original shape when heat is removed, but just normal body heat allows it to be molded into other shapes. In a medical setting, how does it return to the original shape given that it is presumably installed in an environment with a temperature at or near body heat? Also, body heat is not that hot. In non medical applications, what is a range of temperatures where it will retain its strength and resist going out of shape?
I was thinking the same thing. This could easily be something like the Edge browser going out and updating its Certificate Reputation (https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ie/2014/03/10/) list in the background.
In true Slashdot fashion, I didn't read TFA just the TFS. Assuming that the source is capable (ie, did everything practical to disable telemetry, including any weakly published registry settings, etc) and is accurately counting firewall hits (how many of these are one telemetry source retrying relentlessly?) and not attempting to be an anti-MS shill, this really sucks that disabling it per MS instructions doesn't actually disable it.
That being said, does it affect functionality? Does stuff not work (for all definitions of not work -- from not all to pokey slow because it's trying and faiiling to hit a telemetry server)?
While I would expect corporations with an eye on security to object, I would also expect places like that to have a fairly stern outbound firewall policy and filtering system that would block a lot of telemetry by default, mitigating some of this but still not eliminating the annoyance of a machine that does what it wants.
I'm also curious how much analysis of telemetry has been done. Do we know what processes on the machine are responsible for telemetry, and are there any ways to disable them? Have the telemetry messages been analyzed to develop firewall rule groups to block them by IP, URL or DNS?
The problem is that we don't KNOW what it's doing with these connections. Is it possible that one of these server could be compromised in same way? What if that happens and one of these mysterious connections hits the server and it returns a malicious payload?

I imagine these rules are meant to apply to unintentional/unknown actions, not ones by design for which the user specifically installed the app to perform. Otherwise, all those call/text/spam blocker apps (like Mr. Number) need to go, 'cause they're interfering with things too...
Google made the rules, and they are the ones that say the ad blocker is breaking them. I'm pretty sure they are the definitive source on what the rules were "meant to do".
FTA: "Using the size data he had gathered from 4,063 pilots, Daniels [Lt. Gilbert S. Daniels, who majored in physical anthropology at Harvard before joining the Air Force] calculated the average of the 10 physical dimensions believed to be most relevant for [optimal cockpit] design, including height, chest circumference and sleeve length. These formed the dimensions of the “average pilot,” which Daniels generously defined as someone whose measurements were within the middle 30 per cent of the range of values for each dimension. So, for example, even though the precise average height from the data was five foot nine, he defined the height of the “average pilot” as ranging from five-seven to five-11. Next, Daniels compared each individual pilot, one by one, to the average pilot.
Before he crunched his numbers, the consensus among his fellow air force researchers was that the vast majority of pilots would be within the average range on most dimensions. After all, these pilots had already been pre-selected because they appeared to be average sized. (If you were, say, six foot seven, you would never have been recruited in the first place.) The scientists also expected that a sizable number of pilots would be within the average range on all 10 dimensions. But even Daniels was stunned when he tabulated the actual number.
Zero."
You just quoted the article, that doesn't explain at all HOW bad cockpit dimensions killed 17 pilots in one day.
" an example from the 1950s US Air Force where the "myth of the average resulted in a generation of planes that almost no pilots could reliably fly, and which killed as many as 17 pilots in a single day"
Did I miss the part of the story that explains HOW it managed to kill 17 pilots in one day?
Slashdot Mirror
Anyone care to explain that one?
Yes, but do they support a ban on the (totally not the "Dark Net") "Freedom Net"?
Has anyone considered giving them access to basic shelter and toilet facilities so that they can live like human beings, rather than mole rats?
Because they are literally holding their customers prisoner and give them no choice in using the service.

Otherwise intelligent people are also anti-vax.
Seems like it would always be illegal in 2-party states (as people around you aren't consenting) or if the user isn't told about it.
It might also be considered copyright infringement against the tv shows, especially if the audio is stored for any length of time.

She's only been a judge since 2008 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_H._Koh), she needs more experience. Give her another decade or 2.

Even when it's the user who decides whether lower bitrate streams are selected, as is the case here? I wouldn't think that would be a violation.
I wouldn't have a problem with it if the user could actually manage a list of URLs that BingeOn affected.
