I like how Slashdot is so efficient now that they put their dupes together in the same summary:
they wrote a scientific article that was accepted for publication at Usenix Security 2013. However, the publication never took place
Two years ago, the lead author of a controversial research paper about flaws in luxury car lock systems was not allowed to give any details in his presentation at Usenix Security 2013.
Yeah, let's just fling any old kind of plastic on top of our water supply without checking that it won't rot in the sun and leach whatever chemical its made of into the water, or melt into a sheet that starves the water of oxygen, or chokes the local wildlife. Oh, and you'll have to get them painted black first.
Recently, Reddit changed its rules to allow illegal discussions on its site
It doesn't say which "illegal discussions" it decided to allow, nor exactly what is illegal about them. Perhaps what they meant was "discussion of illegal activities"?
I suspect whoever wrote that sentence wasn't really thinking about what they meant to say.
"I decided to play a game with myself: How long could I keep my picture off the Internet."
A game which he will probably shortly lose, since the first rule about keeping your photo off the internet is not to brag about how you've kept your photo off the internet.

Okay, I'll admit I don't really know my Fantastic Four from my League of Superfriends, or whatever, but the main impression I was left with from the trailer was how they seem to have shoe-horned the black guy into the cast.
I guess the world just isn't ready for a black Reed Richards (him being the leader, and all), and a black Thing would probably be racist, or something? And I guess having the other two (who are siblings) both be black was just stretching credulity too far. Nope, better make the sister adopted.
Biased search results increased the number of undecided voters choosing the favored candidate by 48% compared with a control group that saw an equal mix of both candidates throughout the list.
Slashdot Mirror
Is this Dallas Buyers Club as in the movie (with the company holding the copyright named after the movie?), or some other entity?
but an additional digital image stabilization algo
So much cooler than a boring old algorithm.
Oh wait, these balls are 4-inches in diameter. Ping-pong balls are currently 1.57 inches.
That means for the same surface area, you'd need almost twice as many balls.
You suck at maths. Even in one dimension you'd need more than twice as many.
In 2D you'd need more than 6x as many balls.
It's a Unix system. I know this!

An additional alleged incident of sexual molestation will be "time barred" - that is, time will have run out to question Mr Assange - on 18 August.
The Swedish statement also said an allegation of rape was due to expire on 17 August 2020, but that investigation would continue.
So those lucky Ecuadorian diplomats might have the pleasure of his company for another five years.
The Swedish police were apparently not interested in interviewing him when offered
They applied to do so, but have yet to receive a response from Ecuador.

Hackers Remotely Cut a Corvette's Brakes
Yes, I know, it's a metaphor, but it not a particularly good one in the context. They remotely disabled the brakes. Nothing was physically cut.
Not that it's entirely inconceivable that someone will one day find a way to cause physical internal damage to a car remotely...
We think it's private because we can do it in a secluded place, like our bed while we're in our pajamas.
Huh? I zoned out for a moment there. What's this story about?!
- So, there's this new Alphabet project-
- You mean Google project?
- Yeah. So anyway, this new project...
A follow-on story says that it was used for tender manipulation
Ooh. That sounds kinda nice.
Cortana Can Now Replace Google Now
This is why title case for headlines is stupid.
If there's a human controlling it, doesn't it just have human reflexes? In fact, isn't just the human who's got any reflexes at all?
In fact... isn't this not a robot?
And you know why? Because they sell sex toys.

Causation == causation.
I hope they remembered their ducks.

Latest Samy Kamkar Hack Unlocks Most Cars
There are still plenty of old cars on the road. Do more than 50% of them have remote locking?
Creepy, sexy, whatever.
Disappoint.
