  1. Look at Macron. He backed down only after things got violent.

    This! I do not back violence, but unfortunately that seems to be the only thing that a leader like Macron can understand.

  2. Petyabyte in 15 years on 15 Years After Announcing the 1GB SD Card, Lexar Unveils 1TB SD Card (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    Why takes the bet about petabyte in 2033?

  3. Witness Protection.

    It works for non US residents? That an odd way to get a green card!

  4. How to survive that? on The Feds Cracked El Chapo's Encrypted Comms Network By Flipping His System Admin (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Now that everyone knows sysadmin Cristian Rodriguez betrayed drug cartel, I wonder what is the plan to keep him alive.

  5. New social contract on Robots Are Taking Some Jobs, But Not All: World Bank (mercurynews.com) · · Score: 1

    The World Bank recommends a new social contract that includes investment in education and retraining.

    That means pulling money from the companies that won from automation, which in turn implies to seriously work against tax evasion.

  6. I believed that heavy crypto was a requirement to make transaction difficult to forge. Am I wrong? Or do they lower security? Or did they set the bar much too high in the first place so that they can slash 99% without consequence?

  7. Not market share on Windows 10 Passes Windows 7 in Market Share (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    This should be "user base" instead of "market share", since what is measured is web site clients, and not anything sold.

  8. Commercial whaling to be resumed from July next year will be limited to Japan's territorial waters and exclusive economic zones

    We can trust them for that until they will have extinguished whales presence in their exclusive economic zones, but after that?

  9. 98% accurate on AI Automatically Sorts Cancer Cells (asianscientist.com) · · Score: 1

    Paper claims this AI is 96% accurate, but how do humans fare?

  10. Why on Why One Tiny Island is Still a Domain Name Giant (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    After reading the article (which just repeats legend from the map), I still does not know why .tk ccTLD is successful.

  11. purpose of these hacks was to steal trade secrets and intellectual property that the Chinese government later passed to local Chinese companies

    Fortunately, NSA would not do this (hint: to Airbus, for Boeing)

  12. Do you have to accept Google ToS when you edit as a guest?

  13. I may be wrong, but I have the feeling that running coast to coast through highway is easier than running in residential areas, where pedestrians can pop up at any time.

  14. Targetting voters on Senate Report Shows Russia Used Social Media To Support Trump In 2016 (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    When Obama started using data mining to target voters with tailored messages, it was smart.

    When Trump did the same, it was unfair.

    When Russia played that game, it was unacceptable.

    And when Israel our Saudi Arabia pour money to influence elections, it is not worth a paper.

  15. "Stuff that matters", really?

  16. ITER and Tokamak in general cannot confine neutrons, which are not sensible to electromagnetic fields. And high energy neutrons damaging the machine is a problem

    An idea is to target fusion reactions that do not produce neutrons, but that required insanely high temperatures. We have another machine for doing that: the Z-Machine

  17. Meeting input on Study Suggests Too Much Collaboration Actually Hurts Productivity (inc.com) · · Score: 1

    It seems obvious that if you need to say something meaningful and non-trivial at a meeting, you must first spend time alone to observe, think, experiment, or whatever is appropriate to the subject.

  18. Supply and demand on Ranks of Crypto Users Swelled in 2018 Even as Bitcoin Tumbled (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    If cryptocurrency behaved like goods, we would have an increased demand while supply remain flat by design. That should raise prices.

  19. The next step is removing the underlying OS from windows and loading in linux underneath a Windows command shell (kindof like what Apple did with MacOS and freebsd)

    Apple also took from NetBSD and OpenBSD: each time they needed something, they chose the most advanced on that bit

  20. Fair trial on President Trump To Use Huawei CFO As a Bargaining Chip (politico.com) · · Score: 1

    After US president said she will not have a fair trial, perhaps Meng Wanzhou's lawyers have a good point for arguing against extradition in Canadian courts.

  21. Clippy precedent on New Firefox Suggests Ways To Get More Out of the Web (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I am going to hate that. Can't they just let me browse the web without interfering? Clippy went there before.

  22. Protectionism on GoPro To Move US-Bound Camera Production Out of China (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    The company said international-bound camera production will remain in China.

    The message to legislators around the world is clear. I wonder if other countries will follow US example.

  23. Advice on 'What Straight-A Students Get Wrong' (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    So what is the author's advice? Do not seek good grades?

  24. Optimum currency area on 'Send Noncompete Agreements Back To the Middle Ages' (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Politicians supporting liberal economy should be against NCA, since labor mobility is a tenet of the Optimum currency area theory.

  25. Russian e-mail address is poor evidence, it is so easy to sign up at big mail services either in rRussia or in US.
