If it's hard for a human to see whether the scan shows signs of a disease waiting to happen, what was the AI trained by? And by whom? Do we know that the eye scans are actually relevant to the diseases? This is the part that always strikes me odd in those "humans have a hard time to notice X, so we train an AI to do it" stories. If humans have a hard time telling whether something is or is not relevant to a certain disease, and if the AI can only be trained by humans because there is no other source of information available...
I usually leave an USB key or two lying about in my hotel room. If you're lucky, you steal the one with the malware. If you're unlucky, you steal that one.
So if someone else abuses his privilege (because it's kinda odd to call it a right if you can abuse it), and I get punished for it?
When did the US turn into a Stalinist country, complete with clan liability? And even in the Soviet Union you were just strung up for the sins of your father, not just any random person you never met.
And what would they expect to find? So they find an arsenal of weaponry with him. Are guns illegal in Las Vegas? When did that happen?
If the story travels, just wait for the next gun nut convention to be held in a hotel when you plan to go on a killing spree. Want to bet that you'll be the one with the lowest amount of guns in their room?
And that's pretty sad, isn't it? It wasn't even a generation ago when people were looking forward to getting the newest and latest, be it technology or anything. You wanted the new gadget, because it was so much better, faster, cooler and more useful than the old one.
Today, you're usually better off with the prior version that couldn't lock you down, rip you off or outright harm you for the profit of its maker as well as the new one can.
No, it's actually about the value of an app store. I, as a user, have no use for an app store if I still have to worry about bogus apps and malware. If I have to deal with that shit, I can as well forgo the appstore. It is basically the main asset such a place is for the user.
Again, launching a non-nuclear payload isn't that big a deal. It wouldn't be the first satellite to not make it to orbit, and even if that piece falls down in the middle of the road somewhere, people would probably be unhappy but it would be seen as an unfortunate stepping stone on our way to the stars. You can argue that. Because everyone wants satellite TV and reliable weather forecasts.
You can NOT argue a nuke coming down over Russian territory.
You can of course develop such weapons, and prepare them, but you do NOT want to launch them.
By "processed stuff" stuff I am referring to ore-like materials, not finished ingots of iron and nickel.
I'm also convinced that you can provide a method how we should separate valuable material from slag and worthless material without smelting? The only ways I know involve either a furnace or chemicals, both requiring you to transport a fair amount of mass to the asteroid you want to mine.
Regarding feasibility, today we have robots on mars that can analyze a rock for its mineral composition.
Yes, we can analyze it. Basically what happens there is we shine light upon a sample and then we know its composition. Now, please tell me how I get those 5% iron that the sample contains (and let's hope that it's an average of the rest of the rock I'm standing on) out of the rock since I don't want to take the whole rock with me.
Mining and processing will likely start on the lunar surface. Asteroid mining deriving from the lunar technology and experience.
And we're back at dV and getting heavy stuff to the moon.
Processing of asteroid ore also likely occurring at existing lunar facilities. Feasibility, in 1969 we could land 16 ton vehicles on the moon with a fair degree of accuracy.
Yes, and it only took a rocket weighing 2,970 tons to put it there.
And why would I do that when I could make Senator A president, become a billionaire in the process and get perpetual legal immunity? It sure beats being hunted down by every three-letter-agency in the US for showing that the emperor has no clothes and then spending the rest of my life in the worst kind of prison in an attempt to not only have the world forget me but also to send a message to everyone who'd dare to repeat my stunt.
This, and only this, will decide whether the introduction of genetically designed food will be received well. What's going to matter is whether we'll be treated with honestly or whether marketing will try to sell us trash as gourmet food.
So then you know that this piece of malware was written by Ali Ben Gali in Ticspoli, Generistan. Now what? Try calling the police in Generistan to arrest him? They'll laugh at you, tell you that they have real problems to deal with and can't waste resources on your first world problems, and hang up.
I'm not kidding. We did at quite a few times identify control servers for malware, handed the case to interpol and basically got the answer that it's useless because 'til you get anything going in that particular country, you can as well simply not waste your time and resources since the server's gone before you get anywhere close to raiding the place.
What the GDPR did was force companies to actually show you just what kind of privacy they rip off you in exchange for their "service". Before that, they could simply silently take away your privacy.
Saying that the GDPR makes you give up your privacy is like saying having to label food puts artificial crap and MSG into it. It was in there before, you just didn't know.

Nice business you have there. Shame if anything bad happened to it...
Cowards threaten. People confident in their ability just announce their plans.
On the surface, it seems similar, but in fact, a threat might not be executed.
So... it's better to have a president that fucks his secretary than one that fucks the country.

Well, back in McCarthy's time people at least folded when asked "have you no shame, have you no decency?"
Today, they'd simply say "nope" and carry on.
I usually leave an USB key or two lying about in my hotel room. If you're lucky, you steal the one with the malware. If you're unlucky, you steal that one.
Believe me, I'd rather let you search my body than my laptop.
Have you seen the average attendant of such cons? I hardly want to see those people clothed, let alone naked!
So if someone else abuses his privilege (because it's kinda odd to call it a right if you can abuse it), and I get punished for it?

Nah, we're more the passive-aggressive type. We FUBAR your card-based hotel room locks to retaliate.
Well, there IS that gambling angle, coupled with corporate expenses paying for the stay...
Happened to me once. I was naked, fresh out of the bathroom.
Shocked her straight. Never happened again.
Which means they have even less reason or legal backing to tell people to roll over and enjoy the cavity search.

This is Europe, we don't do that bullshit over here.
I was thinking that, if they do something like this in Europe, I could foresee the highest EVER fine imposed on anyone worldwide brewing.

Well, oil ain't available forever. And even though the Saudis are sitting on top of the biggest oil reserves, the do know that it won't last forever.
And they also know that the oil is the only reason the rest of the world puts up with them. They need an exit strategy, and fast.
This, and only this, will decide whether the introduction of genetically designed food will be received well. What's going to matter is whether we'll be treated with honestly or whether marketing will try to sell us trash as gourmet food.
And yes, of course I know how it's going to end.
