AI will make CEOs irrelevant as well - I am sure an algorithm can do a much better job of analyzing business data and making decisions smarter and faster than any dunderhead CEO and the boards of all companies will be more than happy to get rid of these overpaid meat sticks that cost the company a small fortune...
Not only did it not reveal much, but after I left the browser and went to work on my second monitor, it made all kinds of wrong determinations regarding browser usage and interaction, including reporting the mouse was hovering over the button which is not possible since my mouse was nowhere near the browser window.
JavaScript and NOT scientifically proven results - perfect combo for dodo marketers!
I have long viewed dementia care as a perfect realm for some kind of AI. I kind of figured it'll be a combination of Google Glass, Uber self driving cars and things like that. Chairs that know you sat in them, awesome too. All of this is great if implemented securely. Google Glass tells you where to go when and who each person is that you meet, and reminds you of recent dialogue as well. Only the latest stages of dementia will not receive any benefit from this me thinks; the rest, if happy dementia patients, are going to have a relatively independent and free life, which is all anyone really wants.
Agreed and the business model is certainly working for Netflix. Their stock is up more than 20% this week due to greater numbers of new customers than was anticipated by analysts.
The OG content is top notch - much better than a lot of what traditional Hollywood is putting out these days.
Sean Parker is only doing this for his own self-interest. He has investing heavily in the burgeoning California marijuana industry on the hopes that legalization will happen.
So let's see this as it is, another wealthy capitalist bent on becoming even wealthier,,,

Uh - DDoS as smokescreen for malicious activities? That required affirmation?

It is the failure of our country to realistically commit to the education of the populace that is to blame for the rise of for-profit schools like ITT
For as long as I can remember, every politician in every election has espoused the position that they support education - damn liars every single one of them, Republican or Democrat.
I can remember at least 4 decades of broken promises on supporting education, as community and state colleges around the nation cut costs and negatively effected the student population at every turn. Interesting that ITT has been around for 50 years - yep I bet that's just about when they lying about supporting education by politicians began...
Though I never received "basic income" I did inherit enough money 20 years ago, low 5 figures, to quit the stressful lame job I had working for an idiot, because I felt empowered by the inheritance and would not have to work to pay my living expenses for a while if I budgeted and kept my expenses to a minimum. In that time I learned enough about the Internet and computing in general to start my own hosting business (no VC required) and kept learning as I worked. I eventually sold that business and transitioned into the job I have today. And that is not the end of the story, as I have become empowered again through the sale of a domain name, and am starting a completely new business venture, again no VC required.
The point being that it is true, a sense of independent security, achieved by having your basic needs met while you try to improve yourself, is so very empowering, and allows the spirited entrepreneur to accomplish that which would otherwise be virtually impossible.
Where are the miscreants getting such good data? I certainly don't believe they are scraping it off the web; more likely criminal organizations are legitimately purchasing this data from Alexa, TRD, Facebook, Google and others whose primary business is selling data about you to third parties. Big business cares very little about whom they are actually doing business with, as long as the money is good, the sale is made.
Hey, it was so easy to spy on everyone for any reason, and whaaaa.... now you've made that difficult. Cry baby, cry....
I really wish the FBI would just get over it - strong encryption is necessary for people to maintain any sense of freedom whatsoever as without privacy there is no freedom.
Lame attempt at a burn by a useless troll, there is no relevance to the original post which clearly indicates the impression B-Sides is becoming lame and *security researchers * like the one providing this presentation in a forum where the less knowledgeable attend to learn something useful have been ripped-off by someone trying to make some kind of name for themselves with a presentation that in effect should have been a three liner post to security forums.
Geez, I am so tired of these lame presentations and announcements. A n00b could figure this out, how is it relevant to real security research, much less worth a presentation at B-Sides?
Elon is apparently still riding the high of Falcon 9 success, a feat which while absolutely amazing, pales in complexity to self-driving cars. I certainly wish him luck, I love his bravado for sure; but me thinks NOT.
I still use Mutt - never been a reason to change, though it can be kind of annoying these days since many mail clients no longer adhere to the RFC and only send HTML; of course then it also makes it easy to identify the spammer/marketer emails and trash them with a quick macro.:P
"Today a digital media company knows exactly how many people are reading which articles for how long.."
Baloney - the may know roughly, with many factors contributing to X percentage of error, including bots, people that land on a page then are distracted to do something else, thus never actually read the article though they are parked on it, then click away after a few minutes, and myriad other reasons I don't have time to type or can't even conceive of at this moment.
The Tylenol safety problem of the 80s and the privacy protection concerns we have today are not synonymous in the way the author depicts them to be; in both cases the response is about the bottom line. Tylenol knew if it didn't respond appropriately, and huge profits could have been lost. In the case of securing private information, if the powers that be were actually to do that, huge profits could be lost. Got it yet?
I hear you, and what really gets my goat is many of the young *recruiters* are idiots. Virtually every message opens with a line saying my LinkedIn profile is impressive or some such nonsense and I know they are lying right off the bat as they can only see my job title and where I work, and while I agree that fact in itself it is somewhat impressive due to gobal cache of my employer, they know nothing of my skills or experience, but *have a great opportunity for someone with your skills*
Get a clue millennial - you're not as clever with technology as you've been led to believe.

This is not a new idea, Californians have been aware for a long time they provide far more to the Fed than they get in return.
The point is not whether this is a good idea; the point is Brexit and Trump have now proven that for the first time, this idea is actually doable.

Nowhere in TFA does it say best - is says Most Popular, and that is not subjective.
