  1. Seems unreliable on Secret Pentagon AI Program Hunts Hidden Nuclear Missiles (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Such a system seems unreliable,compared to plain old spying with human agents reporting about what is going on in other states.

  2. Re:Rigged elections on track on In a Blow To E-Voting Critics, Brazil Suspends Use of All Paper Ballots (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Well in that respect I think that Trump being in office shows the system is "working".

    The question here is a lot about how democrats chosen their candidate

  3. Rigged elections on track on In a Blow To E-Voting Critics, Brazil Suspends Use of All Paper Ballots (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They put Lula in jail but forgot to make him ineligible. Now forecasts tells he should win by a 10% margin. It was high time to make sure the people's vote would not be taken into account, hence electronic voting.

  4. Secondary school on French School Students To Be Banned From Using Mobile Phones (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I wonder if it applies only to primary school or to secondary school as well. The measure would be mostly relevant in secondary school.

  5. Valve Will Stop Removing Controversial Games on Steam Unless They Are 'Illegal or Straight up Trolling'

    Illegal in what jurisdiction? US? Any?

  6. Clock ticks remained regular over 14 years, but compared to what? If law of physics evolved over the course, all atomic clocks would have drifted the same way.

  7. There is some irony that Trump got elected promising to cut work immigration and revive coal, and the time economy would need more work immigration, and coal energy gets more expensive than renewable.

  8. We need a lot of independent researchers opinion on that.

    Everyone remember Dual EC DRBG?

  9. Global financial crises cycles on 'Carbon Bubble' Could Spark Global Financial Crisis, Study Warns (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Global financial crises cycles are now much shorter than the 17 years to come before 2035.

  10. Here is the plan about Libya

    • 1. Destroy nation state
    • 2. Complain nobody can enforce law
  11. On Internet, nobody know you are female on Game Livestreaming Explodes, But Women Are Less Likely To Be Paid Than Men (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    If I understand correctly, money comes from viewers, but how viewers know if the streamer is male or female? If they cannot, it means they discriminate just on the stream content, which suggests male and female play differently. This is an interesting point.

  12. Less complex than citizen electronic vote on Electronic Voting To Enter Australian House of Representatives · · Score: 1

    This is probably less complex (and hence safer from tampering) than citizen electronic vote, as parliament member vote is public.

    Hence it is extremely simple for someone to check its own vote, and to make sure no fake voter has been added. The only risk I see is casting a fake vote for an absent parliament member: presence log has to be kept by a different system to spot that.

  13. I think they are raising a generation of Chinese people that will master emotion masquerade.

  14. Re:In France too... on Judge Backs Parents, Saying Their 30-Year-Old Son Must Move Out (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    "Tanguy" is an excellent french funny movie about this subject:

    Indeed, the movie forecasts the trial between parents and son that happens in today's story. I recall a very good scene at the court's restrooms where the judge tells the father "you are going to loose. You should hire someone to kick his ass. It will not help your case, but you will feel better.

    .

  15. Investigation tells us about retention on Amazon Explains Why Alexa Recorded And Emailed A Private Conversation (mercurynews.com) · · Score: 2

    The fact they can come to some conclusions in this investigation suggests Amazon retains logs a lot of data about every Alexa installed. Do they have the full audio record? Just the commands?

  16. Officials can not link the two events together at this point

    Of course they can. The obvious link is US itself!

  17. Re:Who rate the raters? on Elon Musk To Fight Fake News, Rate Journalists' Credibility Via a Site Called 'Pravda' · · Score: 1

    It's kind of hopeless now that I think about it.

    If you studied a bit of philosophy, you know finding the truth is not an easy job.

  18. Re:Who rate the raters? on Elon Musk To Fight Fake News, Rate Journalists' Credibility Via a Site Called 'Pravda' · · Score: 1

    And are you sure Reporters Without Borders is neutral? You know about the NED funding controversy, right?

  19. I doubt anything could be found, but if we imagine a giant specimen of an endogenous species, DNS sampling would not reveal anything of interest.

  20. Who rate the raters? on Elon Musk To Fight Fake News, Rate Journalists' Credibility Via a Site Called 'Pravda' · · Score: 1

    Who rate the raters? And how will the system prevent rating down by raters that just dislike a news?

  21. If they aren't banned, you've added paperwork, but have essentially changed nothing from the perspective of users or other EU citizens

    Wait, you would have hurt Facebook, at least. It does not fix anything, but that is not so bad!

  22. And BSOD is.... on The Whole World is Now a Computer, Says Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    World is a computer, and its Blue Screen Of Death is made of resource exhaustion, climate change, and loss of biodiversity.

  23. Not legal everywhere on Amazon Is Banning People For Making Too Many Returns (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    That will not be easy to implement worldwide. In some jurisdictions, the law guarantee free (beyond postal fees) return of anything purchased remotely.

  24. I quite dislike Facebook, and but I fail to see how breaking up Whatsapp and Messenger from Facebook would remedy anything exposed in the Cambridge Analytica affair.

  25. Free from government influence on Floating Pacific Island Is In the Works With Its Own Government, Cryptocurrency (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I assume that "free from government influence" means not paying taxes. The logical consequence is that such an entity should not benefit from free government protection from pirates. Will french navy send a bill each time them help here?
