  1. French intelligence have been monitoring its own mosques for a while. Extremists know that and recruit outside of mosques.

  2. Sustainability on Slashdot Asks: Would You Eat Lab-Grown Meat? (dmarge.com) · · Score: 2

    Environment impact of eating meat with growing population is not sustainable. Distant future looks bleak, with no meat at all (at least at an affordable price).

    Cultured meat seems the only option to retain meat in our diet in the future, hence I am all in favor of it.

  3. Right, no US warrant grants access to data stored outside US. But does the NSA need a a warrant?

  4. IIRC there is little bone to break in a 16 month old child: most of the skeleton is still cartilage, which can bent a lot without breaking.

  5. A security guard told them another child was hurt from the same robot just days before.

    The nice point here is that we can rely on this helpful witness, which job's is threatened by the robot: he will not cover the mess.

  6. Why doesn't empty space weigh anything? on How Richard Feynman's Diagrams Almost Saved Space (quantamagazine.org) · · Score: 2

    At the end of the paper, we realize that decades after Feynman, we still not know why empty space does not weight anything, while at the same time it is full of particles created by quantum fluctuation.

  7. Translation on Telecoms Promise 5G Networks If EU Cripples Net Neutrality (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    [Big telecom companies] promise to launch 5G networks in every country in the European Union by 2020 -- so long as governments decide to weaken net neutrality rules.

    Translation: if governments do not weaken net neutrality rules, other smaller telecom companies will be able to set up 5G networks, and that will hurt big telecom profits.

  8. At midnight on Friday, Uber also shut down their service for one minute "to create a moment of reflection for the Uber Community,"

    60 seconds. Not more, otherwise it could hurt revenues.

  9. Now, we are going to see DNA-based computer virus!

  10. Law workaround? on And the Lord Said, 'Let There Be Free Wi-Fi' (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    How are they going to work around the law that hold them accountable for user's offenses done using Godspot?

    Do churches benefit some king of immunity in Germany?

  11. The main reason people voted for leaving EU is because they don't like cheap Polish workers (...) The other possible benefits was mostly just excuses to not sound racists

    One may refuse to have foreign workers operating on foreign labor laws, without being actually racist.

  12. No monetary damages on Chinese Telecom Giant Huawei Sues T-Mobile For Patent Infringment (geekwire.com) · · Score: 1

    Huawei is not looking for monetary damages

    It sounds quite odd nowadays...

  13. Will it apply to UK?

  14. Re:Domestic parliament? on Bulgaria Got a Law Requiring Open Source (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    Except that in that case you you use "domestic" to distinguish local and foreign enemies.

    If Bulgaria has a "domestic" parliament, it implies that there is another "non domestic" parliament that is relevant (and EU parliament is not relevant as it cannot even draft a directive on its own).

  15. Domestic parliament? on Bulgaria Got a Law Requiring Open Source (medium.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    laws in motion were voted in domestic parliament

    "Domestic" parliament? A better word have been "National" Parliament. Bulgaria is still a sovereign state, not a province of a kind of EU Empire.

  16. Re:London financial hub threatened? on Will Brexit Hurt International Cyber-Security? (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 1

    A "third country" isn't just any country. It's a country that isn't a member but still follows the rules set by the EU.

    Where do you got that definition? A "third country" is definitively a country outside of EU. Countries inside EU are covered by the words I omitted for the sake of clarity using (...) in my citation of article 63.

    Here is the complete article:

    1. Within the framework of the provisions set out in this Chapter, all restrictions on the movement of capital between Member States and between Member States and third countries shall be prohibited.

    2. Within the framework of the provisions set out in this Chapter, all restrictions on payments between Member States and between Member States and third countries shall be prohibited.

  17. London financial hub threatened? on Will Brexit Hurt International Cyber-Security? (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 1, Informative

    London's role as the financial hub is now threatened thanks to the Brexit

    UK's financial industry has nothing to fear from brexit, since Article 63 of the Treaty on Functioning of UE forbids "all restrictions on the movement of capital between Member States and between (...) third countries".

  18. NSA will be pleased on HP Rolls Out Device-as-a-Service for PCs, Printers (eweek.com) · · Score: 1

    That will lower the cost of infecting enterprise PC for NSA: no need to craft an exploit like Stuxnet, just infect the hardware that gets shipped.

  19. Could AI fix multinational corporation (like Microsoft) tax loopholes? That would help mankind.

  20. Disgusting on Robot Pizza Company 'Zume' Wants To Be 'Amazon of Food' (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    We are going to be the Amazon of food. [...] Just imagine Domino's without the labor component.

    I do not know about their pizzas, but at least their speech is disgusting.

  21. who is sending a message to whom on Battle of the Secure Messaging Apps: Signal Triumphs Over WhatsApp, Allo (theintercept.com) · · Score: 1

    [WhatsApp] can see who is sending a message to whom and when

    Of course they do. How could they manage replies otherwise?

  22. Welfare saved on Europe's Robots To Become 'Electronic Persons' Under Draft Plan (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    Welfare relies on wages, and unemployment has been a threat to its sustainability for a while.

    But if we collect welfare money on robots, the system is sustainable again. The more robots replace workers, the more money we get for unemployment insurance. And if people nevert get back a job, which is where we are heading, we will just turn it into universal income.

  23. Re:Meaningless on High IQ Countries Have Less Software Piracy, Research Finds (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Goal being that the Chinese are to be insulted so badly that they change their ways

    Summary suggested me the same question: do they mean chineese people are stupid?

    But look at the data in the article: China does not match the fit. It seats far in upper right quadrant, featuring both high IQ and high piracy.

  24. Why is there a 27 days limit?

  25. Faulty software on New Ransomware Written Entirely In JavaScript (scmagazine.com) · · Score: 1

    Either the mail client executes JS with access to full filesystem, or it passes it to the browser that does it.

    Clearly there is a sin here: executing non trusted JS with filesystem access. What are the faulty softwares that do this? No names are given here.
