A hacker or group of hackers calling themselves the "Turkish Crime Family" claim they have access to at least 300 million iCloud accounts, and will delete the alleged cache of data if Apple pays a ransom by early next month. Motherboard is reporting that the hackers are demanding "$75,000 in Bitcoin or Ethereum, another increasingly popular crypto-currency, or $100,000 worth of iTunes gift cards in exchange for deleting the alleged cache of data." From the report:
If Apple pays the data gets deleted - simple solution is to not pay. A far more complex solution is editing summaries at a 5th grade level or above.
Science does not, nor has ever, "proven" anything. The article linked demonstrates a fundamental lack of understanding as well. The scientific method entails formulating a hypothesis and failing to disprove it, only becoming useful as a theory when it leads to new discovery and understanding.
There isn't even a need for each particle to have a specific value, a simulation isn't limited to a binary operation in this universe much less any conceivable one. Nor is computational complexity a way to explain it away as there would be no way to tell how much time flows on this side of the simulation with respect to the other from our perspective. All that could ever be accomplished is to show that the simulation would need to be at least of complexity/size X and run for Y operations which at this point would likely correlate with the surface area of the visible universe. Further this would have to come with a caveat that it's only basic rule based and not sentient based as it would be trivial to then overwrite peoples minds/data or start it from any point at which point it generates no useful information, even if correct.
What this really lacks is a windows phone. Simply order my case for this and you can have one built into the four unused sides! Why have a ultra thin phone when you can have cube phone(tm)!
Getting a good simulation of a city up and running, plus installing the data jack in the back of people's necks. After that 10% should be a cakewalk if that documentary I saw was legit.
Americans pay far more for worse outcomes and care than any other nation. Socialization is not only stigmatized (ewww giving a shit about others) but the cost is presented in the most psychologically unacceptable way with forced manual opt ins. Far more money is spent on government wastebut there is little outrage because it's hidden in your taxes. If Americans were forced to send in a manual payment or get fined for overpriced barely functioning millitary hardware for billions of dollars there would be mobs in the streets with flaming cars and looting.
In order to compensate for this effect I think we need to support people both with a BHI, but also with creative empowerment. We need to put automation into the hands of the many, and empower them to build a new world where they are not dependent on the state but instead own their own automation stack.
Good luck with that. It will be locked down with drm, patents, and be about as transparent as carbon black. Trying to automate anything, with any contemporary technology will be dealt with swiftly and severely unless it's paid for appropriately. Unlike in sci-fi it's not possible for some prodigious teenager to create this kind of tech on their own, it's a product of tens of thousands of people working for years. It's already following this model.
Given the rise of AI, automation, and cheap energy, it's only a matter of time before humans are not needed in the loop. From mining to manufacturing to warfare, there really isn't a limit and it seems inevitable. The few ultra wealthy people left will face the serious problem of what to do when their vast empires no longer have citizens wealthy enough to pay for goods, but luckily the robots and AI keep chugging away. Thank god it's not like in centuries past where those filthy poor can rise up, the light and heavy assault robots and drones make small arms fire resistance useless and efficiently put down those unlawful combatants. But I'm sure the new handful of world overlords will be kind to us still living but not lucky enough to be nubile teens or in a few key positions of servitude, offering us poor free showers after being overflowingly stuffed into concentrated camps. The invisible hand demands it so it's a moral imperative it happen.
Some will get patches in a relatively short time, however if history is any indication many will go unpatched and some will never be. Further, if the information is out there, but not made public, things get far worse.
One of the biggest concerns for the federal government is if WikiLeaks publishes critical computer code on how operations are conducted, other hackers could take that code and cause havoc overseas.
Criminals that get ahold of this will loot AMERICA. This is exactly what every single security expert has warned against, pretty much since the internet existed.
So if I took perfectly clean water and spilled an ounce of Coke Zero into it, how much urine wold that be measured as?
Slightly less than if you opened a snickers bar, slipped it into the pool, then when the screaming and pointing erupted scream "I'll save you all" and take a big bite out of it.
Salt, sugar, water, and the various other chemical additives don't have DNA. The article is about % DNA. So it's actually worse than one might think. Brine + chicken would come out as 100% chicken. Decent chicken should be 90% even when seasoned and that's close to what a few of the manufacturers actually had. The 43.5% on subway strips should be criminal.
You forgot a dedicated memory slot so they stop overcharging hundreds of dollars for substandard memory space. Their flagship model is nerfed to 10x less than cheaper competitors.
If this is true (it seems to be just a rumour) then it will be two years in a row that Apple made users' existing headphones obsolete. That would be brave/arrogant/foolish even by Apple's standards.
Wow the story wasn't as bad as I thought. After reading about experiences of others and experiencing my own, i figured it would involve a dirty trunk, some rats, an abandoned warehouse, heavy duty cable ties, a wet sponge, jumper cables attached to a stack of old ips batteries, and a single tooth grin from a 300 lb guy named Hector.
1) Pay $250K for the yearly subscription.
2) Advertise phone unlocking nationwide for $500.
3) Get 600 people to pay to unlock a phone (individuals, police agencies, private detectives, etc etc etc)
4) $50K profit! Woo hoo!
Get 1200 people to pay and make $100K profit. And so on...
All I need is $250K to get started...and another $100K for advertising.
Better yet buy all the stolen phones that are locked off eBay for super cheap, unlock them, sell full price and massively profit. You could do 100k a week.
The AI will deal with the oil slick better than a human driving a car without traction control and ESP, because it will effectively implement traction control and ESP. The vehicles already watch for obstacles. It's not that they won't ever make mistakes in these situations, but humans often do as well, so that's not a differentiating factor.
Eventually this may be true when the AI can effectively watch for obsticles like slicks as well as a human can. Right now a professional human racer, using only a crappy dual camera system, is far better at predicting the track conditions than any contemporary system with basically unlimited and far superior sensors that have a superior response time. The AI would hit the slick far too fast at which point no possible combination of steering or braking of any tires would stop a crash if it's in a turn. Today, well trained humans are far better at this than well trained AI using far superior, often almost cheating, sensing technologies.
I told you. We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week.
(interrupting) Listen, strange people lyin' in comfy chairs distributin' shares is no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcicial bureaucratic ceremony!
I stopped reading your comment when it has no evidence of any kind. By the way, fossil fuel sources by region haven't changed much in 3 years and electric motors have almost no changes.
Then here is a link to a breakdown of each US state's energy grid sources (e.g. coal, nuclear, hydro, solar, wind, natural gas) by percentage and how the sources have changed from 2004 to 2014: http://www.npr.org/2015/09/10/...
How much of the electric grid is from "green" sources varies significantly by state, but renewables are improving across the board.
Your own source shows that there is very little change in the last 3 years in terms of actual percent. The biggest change is coal is down and natural gas is up because it's cheaper and can change to fit demands, like peak loads, far easier. If your electric car was getting 40mpg co2 equivelant as above it maybe went to 41.
What makes me feel like this is just some bullshit marketng post is, how do you sell 0.4 of a phone, or 0.9 of a phone... All of those "units sold" should be whole numbers.

I guess NASA was right after all.

What did he do wrong?
Seriously, did you not read the headline? He uses AOL. He clearly can't be trusted with important decisions.
Compounded by the fact his account was compromised by phishing
But using an AOL email account in 2016 should be a crime.

No, this is a move that takes courage!
Apple embrace USB-C? Why not go all in and say they will embrace a memory slot and stop overcharging hundreds of dollars for substandard memory space.

Get the bees watching half naked, painted up and drunk and see if it really does help the bees on the field.
