  1. Skip article on Facebook Creates an AI-Based Tool To Automate Bug Fixes (siliconangle.com) · · Score: 1

    Save your time and skip article, which contains no more information that the headline. They automate bug fix, but you will know how.

  2. Four-days week is desirable, but we should focus on decent pay first, because this is what is under attack now.

    A four-days week job is meritless if you need to have two of them to get decent income.

  3. It could work globally, as we produce a huge amount of wealth measured by GDP, but unfortunately most of the money is sucked into financial bubbles by agents out of reach of a Swiss village.

  4. Re:In house crypto on Tesla's Keyless Entry Vulnerable To Spoofing Attack, Researchers Find (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    the process negotiates an ephemeral shared secret between them that can be combined with a pre-shared secret to provide strong authentication that is secure against relay attacks.

    Mifare does exactly that, and if your system is recent enough to support EV1, you have AES128, which is not broken yet.

    The range objection remains, though.

  5. We regularly have a reminder that it is a bad idea to develop in house crypto. In this situation, it seems that reusing something like Mifare was the way to go.

  6. If the comparison stands, it is bad news: 10 years after the subprime crisis, big finance has spared significant regulation hardening. Will silicon valley enjoy the same situation?

  7. The reference to iMac it dishonest in my opinion: it is much more power hungry, and you do not support it with a handled device's power supply.

  8. And the democrats are really ready to vote for a corporate lobbyist? This is more a problem than the candidature itself.

  9. Raise price, then move on Apple Says New China Tariffs Would Boost Prices On Some Products (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    They will raise prices so save margins. Then move production to US to save costs. Then if price hike had no impact on sales... do nothing.

  10. World Trade Organization on Trump Ups Ante on China, Threatens Duties on Nearly All its Imports (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    I wonder if WTO will survive that moves between US and China. Its rules were already seen as unfair by many poor countries, and now everyone sees they do not apply to big players.

  11. Re:Conference calls are a necessary tool on Ask Slashdot: Should We Hang Up on Conference Calls? (ft.com) · · Score: 1

    Distributed teams can't just get together in a physical conference room We have to meet on conference calls.

    Tell that to free software projects, that have teams scattered around the globe only coordinated through e-mail.

  12. There Is No Alternative on Mercedes Unveils First Tesla Rival In $12 Billion Attack (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    There is no alternative to betting on electric cars

    While I tend to be favorable to electric cars (with some caution: where does the electricity comes from?), the "There Is No Alternative" mantra still lit a red light for me.

  13. companies must give law enforcement access to encrypted data or face "technological, enforcement, legislative or other measures to achieve lawful access solutions

    They ask for legal access, and should they be denied, they will change to law to make it legal?

  14. EU usually ignores citizen on EU Backs Ending Daylight Saving Time (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    "I will recommend to the commission that, if you ask the citizens, then you have to do what the citizens say," said Jean-Claude Juncker,

    This is almost fun, given the amount of referendum results the EU has ignored. Mr Junker was probably drunk again.

  15. 100% clean what on California Moves To Require 100% Clean Electricity by 2045 (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Title is wrong: 100% clean electricity is not 100% clean energy. Fuel will still be allowed for cars and planes, which are huge greenhouse gas emitters.

    This is a step in the right direction, but not toward 100% of problem solved.

  16. App flaw on Air Canada Mobile App Breach Affects 20,000 People (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    The article shares little details. The so called app flaw seems to be a flow in server-side API, but we are not told about its nature and criticity.

  17. Prestigious address on Is Your Email Address Holding You Back? (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    On the other hand, recruiter may want to set an interview with a candidate applying from root@cia.gov

  18. The "costs" of the never ending wars are much higher than decisively bombing and killing your enemy

    The only problem left on the table now is understanding who is your enemy. Or maybe making sure you have one.

  19. A cheap way to prevent many problems in Yemen would be to stop bombing it.

  20. Unless the goal is to kill the idea of UBI, this is wasted money.

    UBI enable people to make projects if the income is high enough that you do not have to starve for a paid job, any shitty paid job, to make a decent living. And it works if you do not have to bother wbout when it stops.

  23. Costs to capital on Sea Level Rise Already Causing Billions in Home Value To Disappear (axios.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This is about the cost for capital, but sea level rise impact on the whole economy is likely to be much larger.
