I could already do that with a normal touch display. I actually have touch sensors (more like proximity sensors, actually) behind the tiles in my bathroom. All that takes is a relatively large electromagnetic field you can disturb, which is of course harder to do for smaller structures, but then, the glass of a phone cover is thinner than the average tile.
You honestly base the hypothesis of a movement of planets on mythological stories written by a people that could not even have identified such a movement as what it would have been even if they had seen it?
I'd be interested in the potential threat scenario for these machines due to a bug that requires remote access to a machine for exploitation by a bad actor.
1) Being rich is one thing. Taking money from industry as a political party isn't something you can do and then turn around and create laws that are detrimental for the unfettered exploitation of workers by that industry. They will expect you to let them do what they please. You'll have a hard time finding me one political party that could be considered "socialist" that gets its backing from industrial and financial corporations.
2) It was a populist party. Much like the populist parties of today. Much like Trump for example too. Do you think Trump is a "working man's" man? For real? He's a populist. He's saying what gets him elected. But what someone says needn't be what someone does. It sure wasn't the case for the NSDAP.
3) How many (non-populist) parties do you know today that are focused on one single person without any party behind him? Not even in the US you'll find a (relevant) party where there is only one true person leading it with everyone else having to shut their yap if they want to stay in the game. The primaries alone are a good indicator that there are WAY more than one person in a party. Hell, you have more than one person running for an office in every state, not just in the whole country. What the HELL are you talking about?
4) Southern Tyrol was before the war. And if you had any clue about the history of Tyrol or the whole "German Lands", you'd know just WHAT kind of betrayal a cession of that section to Italy was, to the Tyrolians in particular. Southern Tyrol became part of Italy after WW1, and one of Hitler's main topics before the war was the reversal of the "unfair treatment" of Germany after WW1. It was pretty much an explicit demand that this would be reversed but oddly...
5) Look up the definition of socialism. I know, the US pretend that socialism, communism and generally dictatorships are the same, but even if repeated often enough, this bullshit doesn't become reality. Just because you don't like something for no good reason doesn't mean you can wish it to be something you can hate more easily.
Show me ONE time "bad press" has affected Apple's sales in ANY way. I could not find any indication. From the bad reception because "people use it wrong" to the fingerprint sensor that lets hackers in but not their legal users to updates that slow phones down to missing headphone jacks that force you to buy new periphery, nothing, literally nothing Apple has done to piss off its community that was broadly broadcast by every media outlet that is even remotely concerned with cellphones and/or fashion had ANY effect on iPhone sales.
Face it, Apple could shit on its users and get away with it. Actually, cancel the conjunctive. Apple can shit on its users' phones and they'll applaud the new chocolate look.
Apple long abandoned the idea that "bad press" could put a dent into their bottom line. Simply because it does not. They could be proven to kill a newborn baby with every iPhone produced and it wouldn't make a difference.
Just because Facebook claims that's all that happens doesn't mean it is.
How often have they lied? Fool me once and all that, if Zuckerberg told me he was shot, I'd demand him to show me the bullets, the holes and check a blood sample to verify it's his own blood before I call an ambulance.
Ya know, orbital mechanics isn't dealing with working on the car that SpaceX launched...
How, tell me, should a planet not only move across the orbits of several other planets without disturbing them AT ALL but then suddenly change its velocity enough to actually change its orbit? Do you have a faint idea just how much energy is necessary for something like this?
And sorry, backing up this woo with some Chinese woo doesn't make it any better. If you dig deep enough, you find all sorts of stories in the various mythologies the world over. What exactly would that prove? That someone else had the idea before. Sorry, but old stories prove nothing. Unless you have something to back up a story with, you have a story. Else I'd say that magic is real because you can read about it in Harry Potter, so if what's written is true, magic is real. Is it real?
About Venus radiating more heat than it receives: Personally I think it's mixing a few things together and hoping it sticks. Outside of pages peddling woo (some of it even crazier than Venus traveling across the solar system) I can't really find much about it, mostly because it would mean that Venus would by now be about 50C cooler than it was in 1980 and I kinda think we would have noticed something like that when Venus Express examined the atmosphere barely a decade ago. At the very least we could have seen a significant difference in temperature if the planet radiated 15% more energy than it receives.
What's true is that Venus is the hottest planet of the solar system, that it does radiate back a very large part of the solar radiation that hits it and that there are actually planets that radiate more energy than they receive. What's necessary for this, though, is the size of that of Jupiter and Saturn. The combination thereof, well, isn't.
Get together with other markets that face a similar problem. The EU for example. Because that's where China will redirect its trade now, with the US standing at the fence and looking in. Instead of trying to punish countries, punish corporations that try to weasel out of building in the US. When he started out, there was lots of talk about getting fabrication back to the US and there was a lot of talk about companies moving their production back, what came of that? One of his strengths is PR, so why doesn't he use it? You needn't forbid something if you can shame people into compliance, why not start a campaign (needn't be officially by himself, he's shown more than once that he knows how to play social media like a fiddle) shaming "buying Chinese"? Works for corporations just as much as for private citizens, additionally you can make your chances for government (or any public) contracts depend on "how US" your product is. He's got it way easier than the idiots in the EU who have way more bullshit red tape to cut before they can simply demand something like this.
And yes, bringing fabrication home would definitely be crucial to an economic recovery. Hell, the fact that people still CAN buy shit shows that this country could easily recover, all it takes is a small push in the right direction. Get people to buy domestic! Make the "Made in the USA" brand worth something again and put some credible effort behind it.
Focus on what you're good at. We needn't produce everything ourselves, but we should find a way to stop people from buying cheap Chinese crap that nobody needs and breaks within 2 years anyway. Sponsor a TV show that puts a spotlight onto this. Show people just how much money they waste on garbage they don't need, and make sure you single out the Chinese garbage. You have a president that has perfect ties with economy and relevant media, use it!
What is free will? And how certain are you that you have any? I remember an experiment where they put a person into a MRT, put a button into his hand and told him to press it whenever he feels like it. They knew a full second before he pressed that button that he would because the relevant areas in his brain worked. And a full second is "a bit" longer than signal relay takes through our nervous system.
We're also by far not the only ones with a moral code. Animals have been shown to refuse food if the "price" was that another animal (they didn't have prior contact to) got an electric shock. As soon as the animal made the connection between getting a treat and some other animal being shocked in response to them accepting it, they refused the treat. How would you explain this?
So what's left is our ability to have imaginary friends next to real ones. And considering what atrocities that caused, I dare say it's not one of the traits that should make us the "superior being"...

Just in case anyone needed more proof that he doesn't know shit about the medium he's trying to regulate...
Unless he does the shake on the top of the Empire State Building, slips and splats a few 100 feet below, I don't care.
But if he does, I sure want to see it, I need something to lighten my mood.
I always though it was eating with the right and shitting on the left?

Why do you assume that this was the only bug to be found? ;)
Distance helps when you want to see the whole picture.
It does create problems, though. From this distance, your two parties look like one.
Yeah, because getting ammo is the showstopper here.
I live in a country with fairly tight weapon laws. But even I could go into any weapons store and buy ammo, I might have to show ID, though.
So you get articles like the one above. So what?
Apple long abandoned the idea that "bad press" could put a dent into their bottom line. Simply because it does not. They could be proven to kill a newborn baby with every iPhone produced and it wouldn't make a difference.
Don't tempt me into trying to find a bug in their algo...

What's the advantage of not touching your display? I mean, aside of fewer greasy fingerprints.
Sorry, I don't see the huge advantage, could anyone clue me in?

At least as long as you can keep the EU and Russia from agreeing to cooperate.
Imagine the economic power of the EU coupled with the natural and personnel resources of Russia.
Far from it. But he reminds me of the routine of a well known local comedy duo:
A: Are you so dumb or are you just faking it?
B: Why should I fake being dumb?
Sure it works. But find me a computer illiterate that wouldn't fuck up fucking up!
So what, your phone manufacturer can't be assed to support UTF-8.
