Please remind me, was facial scan already hacked by some Chaos Computer Club member, or is it the next news?
Biometric authentication is always wrong because authentication credentials are public and cannot be changed. Once someone finds a way to fool the system, there is no password chage, the only fix is to replace it entirely.
Indeed, DNSSEC validation is not widespread, but it already improve security of the one that use it. Wikileaks can be blamed for boasting about security while missing this security feature.
The bleepingcomputer's article is informative, the researcher's blog post is full of technical details... but how do I actually disable Intel ME? Where is the how-to for that?
As in Patrick McGoohan's The Prisonner: "I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered". That kind of innovation will drive me away from restaurant that use it.
If we can observe neuron star collision both with LIGO and conventional telescope, then we can compare the speed of propagation of gravitational and electromagnetic waves.
Both should travel at speed of light, but we already observed from supernovas that photons traveled slower than neutrinos. An explanation was quantum fluctuations: each time a photon fluctuates back and forth into an electron-positron pair, it moves much slower than the neutrino.
make Amazon Prime the customer rewards program at Whole Foods Market and continuously lower prices as we invent together
In other words, if you are a Whole Foods market supplier, you would better purchase a rope to hang yourself right now, because you may not be able to afford that in a few months.
The e-resident scheme seems weird to me. They grant resident rights to people they have no jurisdiction over? How are Estonians courts supposed to enforce ruling on a e-resident? Or is it just to trick to funnel capital into Estonian economy?
The end of the story is written on the wall: Once it will have gained economical significance, some Russian nationalist hacker will find a way to wreck it. It will happen after another Lenin statue is taken down, or a similar event.
We have a lot of polymaths that know nothing about everything. Some of them are so proud of telling the truth that they can cast a judgment on anything.
And even though she was defeated, the fact that Le Pen did as well as she did in the recent election says very bad things about France as well.
Marine Le Pen did not have that many voters. Consider her score among all citizen, and not just the one who cast a vote, and it gets less terrifying.
The problem with french elections is that people have the feeling their vote has no impact on political decisions, hence they stop voting. People voted for Sarkozy and Hollande to get some change and still had the same economical policy: the one that gets decided at EU level.

I was about to post something along that lines.

It is weird to see new devices with telnet enabled. SSH is reliable technology for quite some time.
foreign companies activating in China could be forced to provide access to their source code to a state agency
But local companies will be free to include malware without review?

Too late, idiot. You've been numbered.
Following up on The Prisonner: "I am not a number, I am a free man!"

For decades now, one could not be blamed by choosing Microsoft, even if it was badly suited for the job. It seems even that is changing.
Dear Slashdot, please not that using the EU flag for Germany is quite imprecise, and probably offensive for many German people.
[Hitler] had only about 35% of the votes
That is not so bad. French president Macron scored much lower in France's first round of presidential election.
I suspect that article was actually written by an AI. That would explain why it makes so little sense to human mind.
simply to put [carbon] back in the places from which we extracted it
You realize this means giving back the energy we obtained from carbon extraction, right?
It's time to start using technology to produce billions of machines that actively and permanently remove carbon from the air.
Where and how are you going to store that carbon?
At lease, here is a cryptocurrency backed by real economy assets: burgers. It is weird to think of a fast food chain as the central bank, though.

208 million to get 50 jobs is quite expensive. At that price we can give 50 huge universal basic income for more than a lifespan.
I agree technological leadership is more than 50 jobs, but please stop telling us such tax breaks are for employment.
Likely due to it being irrelevant.
That is likely to be the case, but numbers would be nice to back that insight.
What TFA does not say is how many households have no streaming device.

We call them mainstream journalists.
Perhaps it is time to re-read Why Openmoko failed
And even though she was defeated, the fact that Le Pen did as well as she did in the recent election says very bad things about France as well.

They want an ISP-based system, but TFA does not makes clear that there are some ISP willing to implement the idea.
One problem I foresee is that there seems to be no gain for a participating ISP, and most ISP are primarily driven by profit.
