    It's the geriatric equivalent of getting your news from late night "comedy" talk shows.

    Based on my feed, it seems to mean "Continually battering people with your political beliefs on a social network"

    Ironically since they're all carrying Samsung Galaxy phones, the members of this Congress's pants actually ARE on fire.

    Unfortunately, Cortana could still spy on the users even after they thought it had been disabled, because through the camera it could see their lips move.

    Yeah, I've been using Swedish designed CPUs since the 80s and haven't had any of these problems.

  8. This dovetails nicely with all the "We love social justice!" TV commercials that Google was running during football games this past weekend.

  9. Exactly. I'm not following the bitcoin herd to ride the bubble. I'm going for something much safer and putting my money in iceberg futures.

    The market probably won't support the players that are already out there.

    And there are still plenty of people who don't want to pay several hundred dollars for the privilege of planting listening devices all over their home.

    Why do Facebook, Apple, and others thing public information (like what your face looks like) is more secure than a private key that exists only in your mind?

    I know MBAs are a favorite punching bag on Slashdot, but my experience in getting one was very positive.

    *However*, it's not something that is going to directly result in a pay raise or a new job opportunity, like a bachelor's degree might. Most people don't see the value in an MBA because you can't immediately and directly monetize it, but that doesn't mean it has no value.

    I feel like I learned more about business during my MBA than I did in all my undergraduate years, and I use more of that knowledge every day than anything I learned by studying irrelevant classes the university foisted on my 19 year old brain, which has since forgotten them.

    Like I said, I know /. hates MBAs, but not everything valuable can be easily and immediately quantified.

    Yes, precisely.

    The most secure thing I can use is a strong passphrase that exists only in the phone, encrypted, and in my mind. Anything else is less secure.

    But your fingerprint is still somewhat private. You can't replicate my fingerprints from a picture of me that you found on facebook. I can always change which fingers I have mapped to TouchID periodically. etc.

    You only have one face, and your face is public, which means it's less secure than TouchID was.

  23. Re:Noit a secret on Hackers Say They've Broken Face ID a Week After iPhone X Release (wired.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Exactly. Apple seems to have thought public information would make a better key than a secret, which is the opposite of security.

  24. Re:Unionize? on The Crisis in Local News (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, in many cases people think they are wolves voting with a sheep on who's for dinner, but often times they are misled by people with political agendas or who are just plain fools, and then they end up in this situation - where they tried to vote selfishly, but instead cost themselves significantly.

    People only care about how they can vote themselves money out of someone else's pocket.
