Do we need counter terrorism invasive measures? Are invasive measures vital to counter terrorism? Maybe, but that's not the problem. The real problem is who controls the huge data linked to most people in the country, since 99.999% is not related to terrorism at all. We need an independent and trustworthy organism that controls data extraction, storage, usage and destruction. Until then, the invasive measures will always be looked at suspiciously.
None of these source appear to have relied on high-tech surveillance and intercepted communications
We know that. And we know also that most people, maybe 95%, don't have the necessary scientific background to comprehend that fact, and presented with the horror of these attacks, will comply without blinking to more Internet censoring.
Of course. But UTF8 is taking the lead among the encodings, for instance, because it has a lot of merits. And regarding this specific subject, I find a JSON string easier to read than a heavy XML, for instance, and each time JSON is chosen over almost anything else, I say "bravo!".
Does it really matter if a computer can beat a strategy game champion? We all know it's coming, that eventually computers are going to be able to beat the masters of any game.
what about the real reasons? 1. go is a Chinese game 2. the world champion is Chinese and 3. maybe the main reason: AlphaGo is made by Google, which domains (*.google.*) are all blocked in China...
Difference with a taxi (or most other businesses) is that Uber has all your history, and may very well tempted to estimate a price based on your rides history (and not only based on place and time). For instance, if you're always blindly accepting the ride offered by Uber, you may get that +10%.
In other words, traditional biometric data relies currently on some physical and almost constant properties sampled from a human body, while traditional passwords rely on some biological neuronal configuration within the brains that we are currently unable to extract from a person without his/her consent. Matter of time...

Take the union of fox news and CNN. The result is the news. Sometimes the result is the empty set.
So, it's more of an intersection than a union.

Obviously the perfect tomato that gives the perfect amount of profit.

I am not an astronomer — not even an amateur one — but is "giant alien structure" really the simplest explanation they could come up with?
Yes, because the UFO fanatics shot before the religious fanatics.
the moment someone sees something they don't recognize immediately it clearly must be an alien superstructure... Sigh...
Could be worse. Like the Marian apparition or some other religious miracles that happen when a phenomena finds no explanation.
You’re the smartest guy I ever met. And you’re too stupid to see he made up his mind ten minutes ago.

but then, that memory space being part of the universe...
Addressing 160 TB just requires a 48 bits bus, which most recent 64 bits architectures have. So "simultaneously" is probably missing from the title..
Recommendation: add a dupe detector to the publish script ...
of course since pilots post the access codes online

Maybe you shouldn't believe the one who said "640 k RAM is enough for everybody"
Who wrote this movie? It makes no sense.
Did someone see Adam Sandler work on a script recently?
Makes sense, assuming the NSA got initially the code from NK.
North Korea doesn't even have Internet access. How can they even have hackers?
They have. We are currently investigated among all the twelve PC owners in NK.
I'm sorry, but Biometry should have been dead when that McGuyver episode came out where he used a latent hand print on a hand print scanner.
That MacGyver guy was certainly ahead of his time!
1. You can change passwords, so even if it gets extracted from your brain (...)
If one can extract a password from your brain, he might surely get the new one... or even catch your intention to change it!
In other words, traditional biometric data relies currently on some physical and almost constant properties sampled from a human body, while traditional passwords rely on some biological neuronal configuration within the brains that we are currently unable to extract from a person without his/her consent. Matter of time...
And you know that.
Damn script kiddies, get off my LAN!
That's appropriate. Younger people do not know what's a LAN!
Will they ever contemplate the idea of rewriting completely that OS? It's about time.
