  1. You can skip that one. TFA contains nothing beyond US and EU official quotes. And the quotes are just void statements about restoring trust.

  2. Compromised system on Microsoft Brings Post-Breach Detection To Windows 10 (sdtimes.com) · · Score: 1

    How are they going to extract anything useful from a compromised system, where the attacked can feed MS with fake normal status?

    Even worse, a botnet can be used to push poisonous data at large scale

  3. How will it cope with an indoor picture from Australia with an Eiffel tower picture hanging on the wall?

    Any human will conclude the Eiffel tower here does not mean the picture is from Paris, but a computer?

  4. Why do they specifically target EU?

  5. Missing feature on Cross-Site Scripting Enabled On 1000 Major Sites (thestack.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The problem is that Access-Allow-Origin cannot hold multiple value, which pushes developers to use * so that it works with more than one site

    The right solution is to read the requester site name and return the Access-Allow-Origin header with it if it is in a whitelist. But that require a few extra line of coding.

  6. Re:WHAT??? on CloudBees Releases Jenkins-based Platform For CDaaS (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    What does this even mean? It's filled with more buzzwords and jargon than the law allows.

    You do not really want to know: this is the new release for a bloatware that unfortunately has no usable equivalent

  7. Revoke credentials on MasterCard Rolls Out 'Selfie' Verification For Mobile Payments (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    How are they going to cope with the problem that biometric credentials cannot be revoked once they have been compromised?

  8. As for revolt, people don't revolt because the government they live in is not democratic or equitable. People revolt when they're close to starvation and hold the elites in power responsible.

    My point is that within a democratic system, the revolt of the starved will face other citizen that want to save the system that made them sovereign. Then you get a civil war, or tyranny of majority, instead of a revolution.

  9. The fall of Weimar Republic was not a revolution. Hitler got the power though a democratic process (with some helper tricks such as arresting communists members of parliament to turn NSDAP relative majority into an absolute majority). Unfortunately that falls into the "convince people to vote for someone that (they believe) will fix the problem";

  10. Putin is not stupid on Russia's Moon And Mars Exploration Ambitions Hobbled By A Lack Of Money (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    That makes no sense to invade a country where most of the people hates you. Even if war is easily won, you face fierce resistance from the population or you trigger a civil war. In either case it gets difficult to reap anything. Putin is not stupid, I can bet money Russia is not going to invade Estonia.

  11. Keep plans for later on Russia's Moon And Mars Exploration Ambitions Hobbled By A Lack Of Money (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    They can clearly afford to spare the plans for later. Once Saudi Arabia will have driven North America's tar sand business to bankrupt, they will rise oil prices again, and Russia will have money for space exploration.

  12. I'm just saying it's what WILL happen.

    Indeed, history teach us that people revolt when they do not have enough to eat. But on the other hand, I cannot think about a democratic system been thrown away this way.

    Therefore we are stuck with this alternative: either convince people to vote for someone that will fix the problem, or convince people the system is not democratic (which may be the case or not: what matters is how it is perceived) and they should revolt.

  13. But has any communist government ever respected rights? No.

    I am not sure Cuba's government has the appropriate infrastructure to invade its citizen's privacy

    Public behavior is watched through local groups, but that is not enough to spy private life

  14. Unexpected opponent on Uber Losing $1 Billion a Year In China (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    I did not expect this, but kudos to Chinese people for "fixing" the Uber problem. How long can they sustain such an annual loss?

  15. Re:Just geoblock France already, Facebook!!! on French Court Rules That Facebook Can Now Be Sued in France (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Business owners can't generally strike

    SMB owners do sometime strike in France, when they request some action from the government. And farmers strike very often for the same reason.

  16. Crew will have no privacy on flight. It seems millennials posting everything about them on social networks will be the perfect fit.

  17. Did they ban your pointy knives yet? You're not safe until there are no pointy knives. Or blunt objects. Better ban those bats, pipes, and bits of lumber.

    And fits!

  18. Re:Just geoblock France already, Facebook!!! on French Court Rules That Facebook Can Now Be Sued in France (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    I am not sure why you have an obsession with wine. Wine worker strikes are quite uncommon.

  19. Re:FREE STUFF! on Would You Bet Against Sex Robots? AI 'Could Leave Half Of World Unemployed' · · Score: 1

    Me guesses the parent poster haven't really understood what capitalism stands for, or not.

    I think he understood very well: in a profit-driven system, exhaustion of solvable demand will erase the supply because there is no money to make

  20. Re:Just geoblock France already, Facebook!!! on French Court Rules That Facebook Can Now Be Sued in France (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    If the problem is competition from foreign workers with much lower wages, it makes sense to ask the government to use tariffs or taxes to average competition. After all, the government is supposed to be there to protect its citizens.

  21. 1.125 Tb/s over 121.5 GHz bandwidth? on UCL Scientists Push 1.125Tbps Through a Single Coherent Optical Receiver · · Score: 1

    1.125 Tb/s over 121.5 GHz bandwidth? I remembered there was an information theorem that demonstrated this to be impossible, but I must be remembering wrong. What is the actual relationship between maximum throughput and analog bandwidth?

  22. How to integrate? on Ask Slashdot: Do You Still Have a Pager? Do You Find It Useful? · · Score: 1

    This story is the opportunity to ask: how can a pager be integrated with IT systems? Are there standards to send a message? Is there an associated fee?

  23. Re:Just geoblock France already, Facebook!!! on French Court Rules That Facebook Can Now Be Sued in France (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    And going on strike.

    If you lookup ILO numbers, you see that french workers go on strike less than EU average. The point is that french strike are often massive, national-scale and aimed at the government, which make them very visible.

  24. Cheap fine on Google Settles Decade-Long Tax Dispute In UK (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    185 million USD is small given Google benefits. Perhaps they spent more in attorney and lobbyist fees to get that result!

  25. Graviton on LIGO Will Make Gravitational Waves Announcement on Thursday · · Score: 1

    The gravitational waves are also the long-sought graviton, right?
