How do you know a trader knows something? Maybe his trade was just a lucky, an extremely luck, an unbelievably extremely lucky guess. You have no record that he received insider knowledge.
To hear the RIAA tell it, ALL streaming is piracy! And they are not making enough money off streaming. Just as they haven't made enough off any other past technology for delivering music.
My Target card has a PIN. My major credit cards with big limits have a PIN. Don't confuse PIN with the mag stripe. It's two factor identification.
1. Something you know: the PIN
2. Something you have: the card with the chip in it that is not easily forged or reproduced.
The fingerprint is the third of the three types of "factors" to authenticate you. Try as hard as you like, there are only three ways to authenticate something:
1. Something you know. (password, pin, musical notes, etc)
2. Something you have. (car key, house key, credit card with built in microprocessor and storage, a key fob device with USB connector, etc)
3. Something you are. (fingerprint, retina scan, DNA, etc.)
The fingerprint just allows the possibility of three factor authentication. There are no other ways other than something you know, you have, or you are.
BTW, that chip on the credit card is a tamper proof self contained computer with storage. (also: it runs Java.) It has a private key that was originally generated on the chip and never leaves the chip. The bank has the other key of that key pair. So the bank can be sure you really do have the actual card when the card is inserted into the POS terminal. The card can authenticate itself by signing a random token from the bank, while the card is inserted in the terminal. Only your card could do that because nothing else has that private key to do the signing.
The credit card has always been "something you have". It's just been a question of how easy is it for a crook to replicate that card and have it too. The new chip makes that cost prohibitively high.
CEOs make decisions carefully in order to achieve a goal. If they just made random decisions, like magic 8 ball, then sometimes they would make the right decision -- like magic 8 ball would randomly sometimes make the right decision.
It can be no accident. It must be a deliberate, careful, calculated effort to always make the wrong decision.
If CEOs were to, or magic 8 ball were to sometimes make right decisions, this could have a serious impact on how corporations operate.
Bruce Lee also said: If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done.
So he must have been an expert at avoiding work. And this quote is "that which works". (Or rather doesn't work.) And I did take it from any place I could find it . . . using google to find Bruce Lee quotes.
An AI can be trained to act like a used car salesman. With the right training data, it can even be trained to talk using the language of a con man.

It's not only the language of a con man. It's the language that even a US president could use. Even when he is attempting to persuade someone to make love.
Middle managers don't make decisions that could potentially backfire. Pass the buck. CYP.
CEOs may have all the data, but it often misses the important bits. They think in spreadsheets and powerpoint. If a concept cannot be expressed in ten words as a power point bullet then it is too complex for an important CEO to deal with. On a spreadsheet, I see this project needs more resources, we'll just move more warm bodies over to it from something else. Obviously when picking cotton, more man hours == more cotton in a fairly linear scalability. It doesn't work that way with software projects. Nor would CEOs ever consider that developers are not interchangeable cogs. Different cogs have different skills. They can learn other skills, but it's not a zero cost. Or they can treat them like spark plugs and re-accommodate the old ones to unemployment while hiring new ones. What could go wrong? Surely they wouldn't end up with zero loyalty and a workforce highly skilled at interviews.
A magic 8 ball cannot replace a CEO. CEOs make decisions carefully in order to achieve a goal. Magic 8 ball is random. Statistically a magic 8 ball will make the right decision some of the time. This would have a serious impact on how corporations operate.
They may be thoughtless and inhuman, but they are still biological meat stuff. They expect many, long and lavish vacations. And to be treated special. Once they are upgraded to machine robots, they can work 24 / 7 like they demand of their workers, and could potentially be more human than CEOs are now. Furthermore, just one year of their compensation package could employ many humans, along with more robots working with humans.
Just wait until they discover their golden parachute is actual gold metal in brick form with the expected aerodynamic properties. Wile E. Coyote's golden anvil. After impact, the gold can be recycled for circuit contacts. Quite fitting.
Wouldn't the thief still need your PIN? And the physical card? And a fake fingerprint sticker of your finger? (And which finger did you register with the card?)
In order to authenticate each transaction: A retina scan, voice sample, blood sample, semen sample and lock of hair.
The cyber may be hard for the people who do it, but it is not hard for the president to appoint a team to do it. At least it shouldn't be hard to appoint a team.
Q. What is difficult then for Trump?
A. Trying to find anyone with technical skills that is willing to work with Trump.
(also: risking their reputation, career, and possibly life if some kind of "accident" occurs when they look into the wrong thing too deeply.)
Microsoft is trying to be more like Linux now. Windows Subsystem for Linux to (poorly) run native Linux binaries on Windows. SQL Server on Linux. Haven't you heard? Microsoft Loves Linux, and Sharks Love Fish too.
Now Microsoft will have two yearly releases -- like Ubuntu has. I wonder if Microsoft will next introduce an LTS version of Windows.
That's wrong. The materials will not be free of copyright. The authors that create the materials will have a copyright. Just like all authors of open source code have a copyright in that code. What makes open source open is that those authors choose to license their copyright rights to anyone under terms that effectively make it open for all to run, use, copy, study, modify and distribute the code. Similarly, these open course materials authors would have to license their work under terms that grant similar levels of freedom.
Don't compare open source documentation to open source courses and textbooks.
The proper comparison is to compare open / closed courses and textbooks to open / closed server software. What wins? Open source. Linux and other open source server software dominates. So much so that Microsoft had to create Windows Subsystem for Linux. And then admitted it was to lure developers back (to Windows).
I suspect that subject matter experts creating open textbooks will work out about as well as open source server software did for servers.
Yes, Iridium would mean satellites. So position can be tracked globally, even in the middle of the ocean as long as (1) aircraft can still transmit, and (2) aircraft still knows its position by either GPS or other means.
If position transmission can be turned off, you at least know when and where it was turned off. Knowing how much fuel was aboard at that point, gives you a radius of where the aircraft could be -- which might not be that helpful.
Does anyone actually want to know how much celebrities are worth? And if so, why? It seems as pointless as gossiping about which kardashian is the fattest.

The criminal traders will simply find different ways to communicate which are not monitored.

What?!? You're saying it's an intended feature!
I thought it was a bug. Seriously! Not joking.
So somebody thought this would be a good idea?

You can't really blame them for that can you?
Doing their CEO thing leaves them with lots of free time in between screwing things up.

It is okay if Amazon's cars are driverless . . .
. . . as long as they are also self-driving.

No? So you're saying you prefer dysfunctional programming?
What would happen if only 1 in a million flying cars just dropped out of the sky every day? Scale that up to big city commuter traffic.
Would it help reduce population?
Would it create more building repair and construction jobs?
Maybe flying cars is an idea whose time has finally come?
But can flying cars run on coal to put the coal miners back to work? What!?! Nevermind then.

Prediction 1: robots will be doing all the predicting on slashdot one day soon.

This is exactly what Facebook wants to change. Typing with your brain.
The biggest problems I foresee is upper back and neck problems over time. And you would probably need keyboards with larger keys.
Spending $3K per night on whine, wine, whatever? Six paragraphs of barely strung together sentences, no capitalization and obscenities?
Sounds like qualifications to run for president. But do they use twitter?
