If private data is defined as what you don't want others to see and public data is defined as what you want others to see, which is appropriate for the cloud? Seems easy to me: if you need to keep secrets, keep it off the internet. And you might think about how easy security is if you only use your powers for good not evil.
See the code words here... "weather" and "earth" in the same paragraph. This is going to tick off Ted Cruz and the extreme conservative republican base.

Send him into orbit. It wouldn't be the first time a politician grandstanded from space. Preferable as close as possible to one of these magnetic reconnections. "Don't worry Senator, your faith in god will protect you from the energy of a measly 10^16 pounds of TNT."
I guess kids today will never get to experience what I felt when I learned to code BASIC on that TRS-80. It made me feel powerful like never before. No one I knew could do what I was doing. I figured out how to use that mysterious booklet containing the instruction set for the Z-80 and lightning shot from my fingers. I was a pioneer boldly sallying forth into unexplored worlds. Wielding my keyboard like a sword, I slashed my way, unbloodied, like The Count of Monte Cristo, through Pascal, PL1, 360/370 and C till finally I was slain by microcode. What an adventure it was.
Have fun with that spreadsheet for your pointed headed boss.
...If only some film maker would get a kickstarter program going to make something by the masters: Heinlein, Asimov, etc.... Those guys wrote great stories and in this day and age, shouldn't be a problem bringing it to the screen.
Be careful what you wish for, Hollywood has mangled many of my favorite SF. That said, I think the state of special effects is such that Stanislaw Lem's The Cyberiad is now doable. I've always thought it would make a great TV series.

What is so difficult about the FCC understanding that I do not want calls on my mobile from robocallers and/or telemarketers.
What is difficult for people to understand is the difference between telemarketers and political opinion surveys. Politicians will never, ever give up their political opinion polls. There WILL be a loophole.
no kidding
there ARE groups you just DO NOT PISS OFF
the non govt. professionals like the ones behind offensive security and like
are not to be messed with lightly
I'm more concerned about dissidents in dangerous places and the reporters who cover such places. They deserve to have secure channels. I hope the community can come up with something.
Millions of people have never heard of Ad Block Plus. Until today. I once dreamed of buying a TV ad for ABP during the Superbowl. The Streisand effect will do the job.
...But then, one has to understand that every position - no matter how altruistic your motivation - has a consequence. If your local group is protesting anything based on funding from Putin (or the Koch Brothers, or George Soros, etc) understand that as well-intentioned as your protests may be, you are being used as a convenient pawn.
Put you faith in ideas, not persons. Even a blind pig finds an acorn once in a while.
...The obvious problem is that which you mention - much if not most of PC work is related to document handling and such, which requires vertical space and wastes horizontal space, making wide screen format a bad idea.

When I first found out the internet was going to be available to the public I said to myself, "The Man has made a serious mistake." (That's how I talked in those days.) I was excited that soon I'd be able to make friends with people in all those countries I'd been hearing about on shortwave stations like the BBC, Radio Nederland, Havana, etc., without any government propaganda nor media filter at all. Actual real people sharing truths with each other. This will bring people together like never before, I predicted.
The BBC reported today: "The Beijing-appointed leader of Hong Kong, Leung Chun-ying, said Monday evening that it was unacceptable to allow his successors to be chosen in open elections, in part because doing so would risk giving poorer residents a dominant voice in politics... he backed Beijing’s position that all candidates to succeed him as chief executive, the top post in the city, must be screened by a “broadly representative” nominating committee appointed by Beijing. That screening, he said, would insulate candidates from popular pressure to create a welfare state, and would allow the city government to follow more business-friendly policies to address economic inequality instead."
Whatever it is, it doesn't sound like communism to me.
Granted that my experience is way out of date, but why not just try every possible op code, especially undocumented codes and see if they do what is expected? This wouldn't detect counterfeits but could turn up any built-in monkey business.

... Next idea was to take a bunch of one-way mirrors, and make a box of them to trap light.
This actually works but there needs to be cat inside the box.
I understand your anger. But we're supposed to be better than them. I feel compelled to warn against becoming like your enemy.

You mean I'll be getting MORE unwanted calls?

AI ... now contains the seeds of our total destruction, and the scientists will be powerless to prevent it.
Perhaps it's the AI scientists who should obey the three laws?
Is this what slashdot has come to?
Fine. I'm out. I first got my /. account back in 1998 but this is the last bullshit I'll tolerate. This site is no longer relevant.
You know, I think I first read something like that twenty years ago.
Why would anyone in their right mind go into STEM when an MBA gets you twice the money for less work?
Why would anyone marry a poor man when a wealthy one is worth more money?

Free means you don't pay. Among other things...

Gasoline is taxed by the gallon, not the dollar. Lower priced gas means more driving and more taxes for the highway funds.
There is no such thing as a special-purpose brain... or is that general purpose?
AT&T....nope
Verizon....Nope
CenturyLink(formerly Qwest)....nope
Google....nope
