  1. Re:Support Right to Independence on Catalonia Declares Independence; Spain Approves Central Takeover Of Region (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    I fully support the right of any region to decide who rules them (if decided by fair and free referendum).

    Does that position also applies to Crimea and Donbass?

  2. Re:Assuming the allegations are true. on Kaspersky CEO Says Hack Claims Cutting US Cyber Security Sales (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    The company is either corrupt (complicit in the hacking) or incompetent (unable to protect their own stuff).

    Or more likely, every major internet company is infiltrated by spies working for various powers.

    I seriously doubt an antivirus company can detect new NSA malware without many government being noticed within hours.

  3. Many nuclear plants are quite close to the shore, and will have trouble operating during storms with an ocean level 1.8 meters higher than today.

    If operators do not understand when the plant should be shut down for safety, we will have more Fukushima-style episodes.

  4. Only desktop has large local storage, which means 84% of users rely on someone else to store their private e-mails.

    What can possibly go wrong?

  5. Asimov's laws of robotics on Tech Companies Pledge To Use Artificial Intelligence Responsibly (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Asimov told us about laws of robotics, but he did not told us they were created to avoid government regulation!

  6. How was it discovered? TFA does not tell about that.

  7. So small on Amazon Battles Google for Renewable Energy Crown (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Do I read the numbers correctly? We talk about 2 GWh per year, while US consumes 3,913,000 GWh from electrical energy, according to wikipedia.

    The renewable part is so small that I am still looking for a 1000 fold error somewhere in the units.

  8. If I read the article correctly, Consumer Reports has not tested any Tesla Model 3 yet.

    Why do they have the need to predict anything then? They have no data at alll.

  9. Re:Mitigation on Every Patch For 'KRACK' Wi-Fi Vulnerability Available Right Now (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    When using EAP-TTLS, there is a TLS handshake where the WPA supplicant has the opportunity to validate the authenticating server through a x509 certificate. That extra layer is not easy to break.

  10. What other governments say on Ask Slashdot: Should Users Uninstall Kaspersky's Antivirus Software? (slashdot.org) · · Score: 1

    The only sources we have so far about Kaspersky spying are US government officials. Even the Israeli part of the story is reported by them.

    An interesting point is that other countries did not rush to ban Kaspersky. It is difficult to believe Kaspersky turned its antivirus into a spyware that only the US government is able to spot.

  11. One information I did not find is the status when the WPA supplicant is vulnerable and the AP is fixed. Is attack possible in that setup?

    Also, WPA enterprise often use EAP/TTLS for authentication. KRACK seems unable to compromise what happens inside the TLS tunnel. Is that the case?

  12. News for nerds indeed, but does it really matters?

  13. Who needs an attacker? on Pentagon Turns To High-Speed Traders To Fortify Markets Against Cyberattack (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Who needs an attacker? The system already has high speed trading to poison itself.

  14. Not informative on How Open Source Software Helps The Federal Reserve Bank of New York (hpe.com) · · Score: 2

    Linked article is outstanding: it manage to cover NY federal reserve open source usage without telling open source product name.

  15. I wonder why Israel would reveal that they had the capacity to eavesdrop on russian spies.

  16. Elon Musk and NASA have different goals, hence the different timelines: NASA wants to send astronauts to Mars and bring them back alive.

  17. I do not understand why Google did not chose to bu the partners they wanted to steal ideas from. They have the money, and it would spare them bad PR.

  18. US focus? on E-commerce Is Concentrating Jobs, Not Killing Them (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    I wonder if the conclusions are the same for US and wordwide

    Many big e-commerce businesses are US based and they sell goods offshore. Did we replaced non-US brick-and-mortar retail jobs by US e-commerce jobs?

  19. Summary notes hyper threading is removed. What is the point? Did that technology became a liability?

  20. What charges on EU Takes Ireland To Court For Not Claiming Apple Tax Windfall (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    What are the charges against Ireland? Does EU really have the power to sue a state for not collecting taxes? That would be funny since EU commission president Junker is an expert at that.

  21. What experts say to people for which 6 hours is the maximum they can sleep?

  22. Replying to undo bad moderation cast by mistake

  23. Once self driving cars are fully realized (...)

    You assume they survive the legal fight with Google. When in comes to self-driving cars, Uber seems to have no real assets.

  24. Hardware RAID on Super Fast NVMe RAID Comes To Threadripper (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I have trouble trusting hardware RAID. Like OS-based RAID, it uses software (firmware to be precise) that can have bugs, but it is much less tested than OS-based RAID.

    Moreover, disaster recovery requires to have the same hardware/firmware ready for replacement, otherwise you risk your hardware RAID to be inaccessible from a replacement machine.

  25. Uber! on Ask Slashdot: Which Businesses Will Go Away In the Next 10 Years? (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What company will disapear? Uber! You cannot loose money on every trip forever.
