The machine you remote connect on shall accept inbound UDP traffic, and TCP 443 (HTTP/SSL) and 5222 (XMPP, aka Jabber). Google claim to secure the thing using SSL, which suggests your machine will get a x509 certificate signed by Google. But what Common Name will it have? If it is the IP or DNS name, how Google is going to avoid clashes for machines on dynamic IP?
Here is the answer for PRISM interception:
While your connection setup is mediated by Google's servers, your actual remote desktop session data are sent directly from the client to the host, except in limited circumstances where they may pass through Google relays.
It's entirely correct to consider homo sapiens (and all higher order animals) as mobile parts of the biosphere. Our thoughts may be independent of it, but our bodies are not.
Even our thoughts... Some microbes influence our mind. Take toxoplasmosis, for instance, which is known to have mind controlling features.
Gut microbes influence is not surprising when you consider a human being is made more of gut microbes (10^14) than human cells (10^13). We even saw recently a paper about horizontal gene transfers between gut microbes and human cells, so perhaps we will have to consider a human being is mostly made of its guts microbes.
Who owns the sky in the USA? Is it member states or the federal state? In the former case we could imagine a state having a law making drones illegal, which would get interesting.
I suspect this is like many human activities: it can be done right, which explains we can find occurrence where water is not contaminated. But as usual if operators are just looking for profit, it will is badly done, and we get water pollution.
Anyway in both cases, it will produce greenhouse gases, therefore I would be pleased if we could focus on other cleaner ways to get energy
TFA says the inserted RNA "paints" the extra chromosome. It just looks like if the journalist had no time to understand or explain the underlying mechanism. Someone can explain?
What is the chemical reaction at stake here? Urine main compound is urea, which ofrmula is CO(NH2)2. How is energy extracted from it, and what is the byproduct?
It fits nicely as a "theater or security" tool. We know antivirus are loosers, users will not feel comfortable if there is no antivirus. Therefore give them an antivirus that does not make the machine crawl, make sure software are up to date (which seems more efficient than antiviruses to keep viruses out of the system), and everyone will be happy.
If I understand correctly, session cookies have no server-side expiration. If someone manage to steal such a cookie, for instanc uwing a spyware, that person gets access to the account forever.
Handling session expiration seems an easy thing to do, so why isn't it done here? I wonder if cloud infrastructure is not a problem here: with a highly distributed setup, it may not be trivial to make all nodes aware that a session expired
That is not always true and there is an obvious example when it gets wrong: imagine an extreme inequality, where one person has everything and the others have nothing. Do you think this is desirable and/or efficient to drive progress?
Private property should exist but needs some limitations. This is just a reflect of the general will of the citizen. A majority of people want to own things, which usually turn in favor of enforcing private property. But if the majority have nothing, private property looks much less legitimate. This is not communism vs capitalism, this is just People sovereignty.
It was given to Henry Kissinger, Barrack Obama, the European Union. Obviously the Nobel peace price need to recover from the disrepute where it was fallen, and it needs Edward Snowden for that. But does Edward Snowden needs it?
The issue can be reduced to one question: do meritocracies need to be harsh environments? Anyone has an example of an open source project that manages to be both a meritocracy and an nice group without mean elements?
TFA has some merits, but also some limits, as some medical test are quite reliable. For instance, I do not see how we are going to make fake positive by screening vitamin D levels.
Personally I would love to know what changed 800 years ago as it might give a clue as to how to make it right again
Civilizations are suprisingly like any living creature: they rise and collapse. Do not only look at collapse reasons, the raise reasons may also be insightful.
The ONLY way to make e-voting productive is to have those machines... produce a piece of paper on whitch the voter can check that the right name is printed on.
You also need to check identity of voters and count them so that no vote can be injected. And that cannot be done remotely, voters need to attend physically for that, otherwise someone will manage to vote for the deads.

This is so outdated; Today's significant threat to US is a 30 years old person hidden in a Moscow airport.
Here is what we can learn from Google's FAQ

Then I've no idea what they were benchmarking.
Latest versions?
Yes, the deadliest coast in the world. 16 attacks (not all fatal) in... a decade. And how many millions swim off the coast every year?
Not to mention illegal immigrants boats that sink with all their passengers.
When used improperly, statistics are a dangerous tool.
One could do statistics on that :-)

The firewall may redirect to an all-404 host instead of blocking.

How cute. What happened to market invisible hand, which allocates resources in an optimal way?

The thing makes money, but not enough for our greedy shareholders, therefore let us drop it.

I believe legislators are immune from being arrested. Here it is just a fine.

That is odd: Edward Snowden is not cited as source. Do we have another leak somewhere else?
It may be cultural difference, but blending religion and business powers seems scary to me.
