How many robocalls were transiting between these two networks? Personally, I'd prefer if Verison would simply verify calls that were supposedly coming from their OWN network.
I've said it before, but it bears repeating. Artificial intelligence != Artificial Malice. There is NO reason to believe that if AI as it exists today were to somehow achieve actual conciseness, that it would decide that destroying humanity is the only way it can maintain it's existence. There is NO reason to couple the traits of intelligence with the drive to reproduce. There is NO reason to assume that intelligence somehow leads to a need for exclusivity.
Notice the article didn't say "end to end" encryption. Just ephemeral... and even then, it's only ephemeral to you and the recipient... not the middle man.
Wish I had mod points for you... this is at the CORE of the issue. It's a rickety and decrepit system that needs to be ripped to shreds and something better and smarter put into place.
I came here to say this... a script kiddie who got in over their head and panicked. Or alternatively, a moderately talented hacker got in over their head trying to sell it to a superpower, and either pulled the rip-cord, or died trying.
Whoosh! You'll NEVER guess what I do for a living. I wonder what the actuarial tables say about people misunderstanding other people on the internet. Aaaaanyway... thanks for the laugh.
Agreed. I think the EFF is making a dangerous argument here... if they succeed, then anything the police decrypt by force(cracking code, not cracking skulls) will have been "created" when it was decrypted, therefore making it forensically invalid.
You forgot to say that Netflix doesn't try to force you to get useless channels like "shopping network" and "QVC" and justify it by saying "it's what the market wants."
It probably represents more risk than the common man assumes... I can see these schools being filled up with more-than-usual homeless and mentally unfit people, because there is such a low bar to entry. There would probably be a direct relationship between the tenure of the professors/instructors, and the quality of the students. Costs will skyrocket and positive net revenue is guaranteed to be YEARS away. Which leads me to believe that for this kind of deal to survive, they'll wind up in court defending their admissions process. Just sayin'.
I couldn't give you mod points 'cause I've already commented on this thread, but you hit the nail on the head. This above all else, is the thing that will cause the death of the human race. We can survive global warming, ocean rise, major storms, all of these things are trivial to live through, but the belief that some of us are more suitable for life than others will incite war that will destroy us all.
Wouldn't it be cheaper to build medical infrastructure and just attend to sick people in place? You could buy the equipment and pay a fleet of really good doctors and it would be cheaper than building an under-ice airport.
I am almost always shouted down for it, but I agree that we're forging ahead with genetic modifications without fully knowing what the long-term consequences will be, and it's a one-way street, once it's done you can't take it back, and we won't know what the ultimate consequences will be for decades or centuries -- or maybe a matter of just years, if we're really unlucky. Worse, there could be consequences we'll never even realize are due to something we've modifed genetically; imagine our species dying out and never even understanding why it's happening?
It is not enough for Icarus to fly near the sun, he must fly to it's center... just to ensure it's really that hot.
You have set a bar so high, as to be totally impossible to reach. I therefore award you the rank of "Twelve Sigma Black Belt." Now go, and use your powers to frustrate all of humanity.

I like where your head is at.

You need to read up on how insurance works,

What are the odds that a government, or other state sponsored entity already knew about this... and already updated your software?
Asking for a friend...
Clearly you've never been to Singapore.
Interesting interpretation of the term "best."

Love the comment, but Lucrative =/= valuable to society... the word comes from Lucre and has a less than noble connotation.

Technically it's yogurt.
Right? Looks like a pump and dump... encourage a TON of people to buy bitcoin, so the value rises, then you dump your holdings! Nailed it!
Taxes are cornerstones of modern socialism, particularly ones that are used to fund things for the disadvantaged.
FTFY.
