Being easy to hack does give them plausible deniability when some third party turns up with detailed info on hundreds of millions of Facebook products.
Warnings about military and political catastrophe by people who know nothing about the military, or politics, and automatically assume that anyone who does must be evil and stupid.
How could we possibly survive with the infinite wisdom of Silicon Valley! Just ask them.
In other words, it's a day that ends in "y."
This is a complete non-story. There's no content. They're not wrong, so much, as they have nothing to say at all.
No, imagine that I come into your house, where my phones starts recording you and sending those recordings to Facebook, without your knowledge or consent.
Now imaging that I accidentally leave my phone there when I leave, and it's still recording your conversations and sending them to Facebook.
Facebook now has a patent on this, and a history of selling any and all private information that comes their way to anyone who wants to buy it.
Indeed. But you cannot give consent for me. If I'm a guest in your house, and your phone is recording me without my knowledge or consent, as would be the case if this is implemented as described, your phone, and possibly you, are in violation in all-party consent states.
Varies by state. Some states require consent by one party, some by all. Federal law is one party. In some all-party states, it's a civil offense, in some, a misdemeanor, in California and, apparently, now in Pennsylvania, it's a felony.
is the terms of service you didn't read before you clicked "I agree," if you're not in the room alone, in a place that one would expect privacy, like your own home, this would run afoul of wiretapping laws in all-party consent states. In some cases, it's a felony.
I would dearly love to see Zuck in an orange jumpsuit for this.
There are reasons rooted in the chemistry of carbon to believe that carbon-based life is more likely than anything else, like silicon. (And the practical supporting evidence that silicon is far more common in earth's crust than carbon, yet all life on earth is carbon based.)
Other bases are possible, in theory, but since there's limited resources for the search, it makes no sense to spend those resources looking for something we have no idea how to identify if we do find it, versus something familiar.
What you describe isn't really a problem with the technology, it's a problem with a stupid, incompetent, lazy boss. The technology just makes it far more efficient to identify them as such.
While I do not really disagree with your assessment of Adams' character, he has made some very accurate predictions, from the moment that Trump declared he was running.
I find your source . . . less than convincing. The Washington Post is just shy of running Bat Boy stories. The Babylon Bee is more credible. And funnier.
That lunacy is exactly what I mean. The comparison of Obama's opposition to that against Trump is mind-boggling. The Left was even calling Mitt Romney the next Hitler. Right after George W. Bush was Hitler.
Every Republican President since Reagan has been called "the next Hitler." I suspect every Republican President before that was, too, possibly even before Hitler was born.
That you can't even see the damage that you've done to your own causes is astounding.
Probably straight through Trump's 2020 reelection and all the way until 2024 when Democrats yet again fail to elect Hillary Clinton.
Hillary Clinton would lose to Charles Manson's rotting corpse, at this point. The Dems also won't regain control of either house of Congress, and may well lose seats overall.
I'm beginning to doubt that anyone alive today will live long enough to see a Democrat in the White House again.

And about a dozen episodes of CSI?
There's also a significant difference between trolling in a blog and a fund manager trying to manipulate the stock market.
If there's evidence of the latter, the guy's real name would be part of the news coverage of his arrest anyway.
And availability of legitimate copies is irrelevant to copyright infringement cases.
He's a professor at John Hopkins, what are your credentials?
That actually suggests he's got a lower intelligence than average, if the Harvard professor who went to prison for scamming his friends and family out of $600,000 to send to the Nigerian prince is any indication. He insisted, in an interview from his prison cell, that was a legitimate deal that would have gone through if the feds hadn't interfered.
Sometimes, being a college professor just makes you a well educated idiot.

Plus all the various other taxes that are used to subsidize it, of course.
Couldn't agree more.
If you have something to say that can be said in 140 characters, you have nothing to say.
In order to restore something, it must first have exited, then been lost.
Nobody with any sense would have trusted Twitter in the first place, and those that do are gullible enough that they never lost it.
So what's to restore?
I'll be content if the automated cold calls are at least in a language I speak. This does not include Vietnamese.

At this point, he's one Presidential run away from being Ross Perot.
"Deep learning algorithm" actually means "statistical analysis applied in a slightly fuzzy way." And not really much more.
If others follow his example, he's a thought leader. Even if he's leading them in a direction you don't like.

Actually, for the last year, the most common phrases seem to be "Trump is a poopy head" and "No, you're the poopy head."
