And what about all of their off-site backups? Have they re-encrypted them, or is it is a matter of janking some tapes from Iron Mountain, or company's on-site storage, and applying quantum decryption to them?
Quantum computing is relevant to public key, asymmetrical ciphers used in establishing online communications. Static data such as backups is encrypted using symmetrical ciphers such as AES and Twofish which are not susceptible to quantum computers.
I'm not going to call BS, but I am going to ask for a citation on that...:)
The citation is the original TFA link from cbc. Scroll down a bit and look at the diagram which shows how it works. But common sense will tell you that a tiny coin battery in a key fob can't be broadcasting on a regular basis without going flat, whereas the large battery in a car can.
Going to need a source on that one. Those coin cell batteries can broadcast pings for years? I'm calling bullshit.
From the original article above ^^^^^ (Scroll up dude!) ^^^^^
"thieves are using a method called "relay theft." Key fobs are constantly broadcasting a signal that communicates with a specific vehicle, he said, and when it comes into a close enough range, the vehicle will open and start. "
It's other way around. The car is constantly sending an "unlock me" signal and the fob is always listening. When the fob gets close enough to hear the signal the pair negotiate an unlocking sequence. You would not want the fob to be always broadcasting because that would flatten the key fob's battery.
The devil's advocate asserts that poor people tend to own polluting vehicles (they can't pay for new ones or repairs) thus Madrid is discriminating against poor people.
Poor people have to breathe too, and if they're really poor they may not have a car in the first place.
What happened to simply choosing the best candidate for the job instead of meeting quotas?
...And what about simply letting the shareholders decide? Whatever the state owns, they can do with as they please, but ONLY shareholders should decide who they want on their board---the government shouldn't say who is and who isn't eligible to be on the board:-/
Quite often the all-male board incumbents and maybe major shareholders (large companies also with all-male boards) select and nominate the candidates for the shareholders to elect, so it's another case of "Hobson's Choice".
Hmm, come to think of it, that's much like most general elections.
Google, et. al. should not be able to arbitrarily change settings on my device without my consent to accept an update. Period. Anything else is unacceptable. What if they "accidentally" re-enable data collection and disable privacy settings on "a wider set of users than they intended" as their next screwup? Will that be fixed with "oops, our bad" as well?
What you mean like Microsoft and Windows 10 does with every update?
Citizens with their own passports who pay their tax on time can enjoy international travel AC.
A criminal, an illegal migrant, a person with fake ID, a person who claimed protection going back to the nation they escaped will be detected.
Plus a bunch of completely innocent people who have been unnecessarily detained and harassed after being misidentified. I believe Bayes theorem will have something to say about this.
Most buyers who purchase fixed income securities do it for the "fixed" part. i.e. you get a steady, lower-risk stream of income. A new unknown, potentially highly fluctuating instrument (based on the variability and fraud rates for cryptocurrencies) is the opposite of that.
Very large bonds in international currencies tend to be of the zero coupon variety,. That is, they don't pay any interest as they go along but pay out the full face value on completion. The buyer gets a profit from buying them at a discount to face value at the beginning, meaning they may be able to class the profit as capital gains when they finally sell them. YMMV.
You should also consider the dangers of driving in the real world (and maybe using machinery) after a long VR session.
Decades ago I read that UK military pilots recorded a higher number of traffic accidents after doing a long session in a flight simulator, presumably because it screwed up their perception of motion and distance. When this was discovered the pilots were subsequently given a driver or a taxi voucher to get home.after one of these sessions. I wouldn't be surprised if the same effect occurred with the current, relatively crude VR environments.
Since these are low security prisons, prisoners should be allowed to watch TV in several lounges, listen to an AM/FM radio in their cells, and use a land-line phone for a few minutes a day. Other than that, they should have access to carefully selected books, and newspapers. No internet access at all, not even email.
Allowing internet access to convicted criminals is NEVER a good idea!
Email is the modern replacement for snail mail so prisoners should have some access to it. However all their emails, except to and from their lawyers, should be monitored.
For maximum security prisons, prisoners should get a few minutes a week on a land-line phone.
Also you seem to have missed all the exploitative practices regarding prison supplied phone services
Court-mandated censorship like this sets a bad & creepy precedent. If the claims are bogus, let them be settled in the traditional manner via libel lawsuits after the fact.
What if the claims are not completely bogus (not speaking to the merits of this specific instance but a hypothetical future instance)? The public should have a right to know without the imprimatur of corporate interests.
This is India where completely bogus rumors on social media have resulted in angry hordes of people burning or stoning innocents to death. I could easily imagine stores selling these products being looted and burned or the people working in their factories being killed.
What gets me is the size of the 2 billion dollar termination fee for a deal only worth 44 billion dollars in total.
A termination fee is only supposed to cover the cost of due diligence and legal preparations leading up to the takeover or merger.. In some cases the boards establish an excessive termination fee to ensure shareholders approve a deal, because they know the company will receive a crippling penalty if they don't give approval.
I've read that a reasonable termination fee should not exceed 2 per cent of the total value or $880 million in this case (still way too high IMO).
I have a Mega login. Wouldn't mind knowing whether it's been exposed.
Did you read TFA? If you didn't reuse your user name and password from another service than it hasn't. Mega itself hasn't been breached, it's just the old password reuse problem.

O rly?

Don't worry, all those people who have lost their jobs will be freed for more creative careers as programmers and web site developers. Apparently.
North Korea doesn't do mail order brides.
I'm sure they would if there was enough money in it. They already do large scale drug dealing and money counterfeiting.
Last time I can remember Microsoft mentioning handheld gaming, it was 2004 when Microsoft announced that it wouldn't be entering that market with an "Xboy" because handheld gaming was too solitary . . .
That's never stopped vibrators from selling.

I'm sure the Chinese and the Russians (not to mention the US) would strictly abide by such a ban.
Generic: "Hey, we could make generic Epipens for about $100 each. The brand name costs $600. Let's sell them for $200 and undercut"
Incumbent: (Cuts price to $100. Eats small loss per unit)
Generic: (Goes bankrupt)
Incumbent: (Raises price back to $600, recoups losses)
Except your price estimates are a bit off. Experts say the actual cost of manufacture to Mylan is likely only $20 to $30 per pen.

Just getting in your car to go somewhere after taking an allergy medicine can get you arrested for DUI if the cop is an a$$hole...
How is the cop going to know to target you, unless your driving IS actually impaired?
Fuck that. If I want to screw a back alley hooker with out a condom, that is my choice.
John McAfee, is that you?

I'm no fan of Zuckerberg to say the least.
I'd just say the govt's involvement in FB would be best served by making sure that when a person leaves FB, ALL of their info is wiped upon request.
Even the data from all the Russian trolls?

Even better than that, a self-driving car that requires 2, count them two drivers, ie more than a non self-driving car!
For safety reasons one passenger periodically has to get out of the car and walk in front waving a red flag.
