More dangerous in a time of regular terrorist attacks?
Many voters seriously tell France 2017 is like Germany 1933. For them, voting Macron is like preventing Hitler from grabbing the power. I do not back that reasoning, but that explains why they will vote for Macron while they dislike him.
This is not likely to have an impact, IMO, as majority of french voters are already convinced that both candidates are highly toxic.
Many will vote Macron while they hate him, because they consider Le Pen to be more dangerous. Hence a smear campaign against Macron is unlikely to change their votes.
It's better for the US, but worse for those countries. I don't see the net benefit.
People in fiscal heavens do not benefit from the huge sums lying at their countries' banks. It is even a curse if a financial crash happen and their government want the to refund their banks
1 billion USD is a large sum. Is it because they fear president Trump's wrath? Or is it part of a deal that involves bringing back tax-free some cash from offshore?
Do Slashdot readers remember the computers that were used in their own high schools -- and did that instill any lifelong brand loyalty?
With today's few wallen gardens and social networks, this more about network effects than loyalty. In the eighties, most computer brands were incompatible with each others, but they were not the key to online social life.
You proposed a non profitable business to venture capitalists and they funded it. Now they changed their mind. Do not whine, just enjoy the money you should have saved while the scam worked.
We recently heard president Trump signed an executive order to harden foreign worker's visa rules. Does that case means it was a failure? Or were the visas obtained before the new rules?
This is despite 59 percent of millennials agreeing they will live much longer and will need to support themselves for longer than previous generations
This is the "you live longer, you need to work longer" mantra.
Indeed retirement systems need working people to support retired people (it can be the same person that works, saves, and retires in a capitalized system, or it can be the working paying for other retired people, in a socialized system).
But the key point is not how much work time vs how much retired time we have. It is about how much wealth produced by work and how much wealth consumed by the retired. And since worker's productivity is much higher that ever, we could support early retired persons without longer work period.
Of course, that assumes the wealth is not captured by some other agent...

UPDATE: as a direct result of “the views espoused in my engineering article on Medium” I have been terminated from my contracting position at my current employer. Still figuring out what my rights are in this sort of situation so any guidance, advice or employment offers are appreciated. I will be adding a GoFundMe link and a more detailed postmortem shortly.
Is the sum enough to live in Ontario? If not, then you must have a job, any paying job, and your employer will be able to pay you less because you already have UBI. A too low UBI is just taxpayer subsiding corporation's labor costs.
A well working AI will also catch the bad sides of someone personality. I am certain people will be delighted to get from-the-grave message from parents telling "dad has some work, please go back watching TV". People tend to remove bad memories from deceased beloved, and such a tool could temper with that.
But that may turn into a smart business plan: first collect money from dying people to send messages after death, then collect money for message recipients for stopping that.

This is not a problem we cannot solve: Most engineers that witnessed Voyager 1 launch in 1977 are likely to be retired now. We still collect information from the probe, thank to younger engineers that joined after launch.

Indeed, the culprit is the election system that retains only the two first candidates, even if they do not even sum to 50% of the votes
That is true, but five more years of Macron's economic program (that is, EU mandated austerity) will certainly raise Le Pen vote even higher.
As an AC said above, this is "elect Bruening to avoid Hitler". This election is a problem without a good solution, only bad and worse.
1 malware for 10 seconds means 8640 per day, which is still much lower that Windows' malware feed which was over 50000 malware sample per day in 2010

Everyone should be using SCP/SFTP nowadays anyways.
FTP has file download resume (REGET), which is quite useful for big archives with weak connection.
Each time I hear about IFTTT on Slashdot, it is an IFTTT fan whining about the lack of support for the technology.

News for nerds, indeed. Finance nerds, to be precise.
250 billion USD is somehow the GDP of countries such as Chile or Finland.
it's not clear if there's an actual plan behind Tehan's observations
In other words, there is no news?

How does that reduce fossil fuel usage? It seems there is something from with article title.

maybe u are too dumb to understand how crypto works
Are you sure you are going to convince people if you call them dumb in advance for any objection?
I wonder if that means they are going to push an "update" to cripple MS Office WebDAV support.
Kilometer per hour is km/h, not kph, you insensitive clod.
