"Cyber Attack Institute" sounds a bit belligerent, and not much like something focused on countering attacks. Sort of a letdown, as I had started looking forward to discussing Article 9 issues.
Something about neural degradation in the brain? Been a while since I looked into such things.
If he really is 20-some years past that, I'd sure like to know how/why. I'd like researchers to know how/why even more, and then put their findings to the best conceivable use - keeping me around longer.
The Soviets will destroy us all with their superior number of days in orbit! We must close this gap lest we lose this Cold War!
Oh, right, I forgot it wasn't 1982 anymore. And that despite all our disagreements, we and Russia are a team in this regard with each new record representing a victory for humanity in which we all share.
Damn good job Jeff, we're proud of you. Gennady, that is so mind mindbogglingly impressive! We're damn proud of you too!
Why would it include the private personal information of citizens within its borders? Discussing refugees is understandable, but domestic criminal allegations? Personal debt? Details of divorces? These are not items that belong in diplomatic cables.
And if you get raped outside your own home, is it reasonable to expect that the incident would be discussed in diplomatic cables? If you go to your doctor and he diagnoses you with HIV, should embassies be informed? What little context for the information is relayed in the articles about it suggest that much of the information regards domestic incidents, not Saudis in other nations. It is reasonable for information on refugees to be transmitted, but domestic arrests of Saudi citizens?
A natural assumption, however it is worth noting that none of the articles contain any context whatsoever.
More importantly - these were diplomatic cables from the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Why were they discussing the rape of Saudi citizens on Saudi soil? What little can be gleaned regarding the context of this information suggests that it was entirely domestic in nature, and therefore its inclusion in diplomatic cables is wildly inappropriate.
Note that none of the articles about it give any context whatsoever for why these records were there. Also, the Saudi dump occurred on June 1st, 2015. These inflammatory headlines are only coming out since the DNC breach. Note also that the approach and tone of the arguments follow common DNC rhetorical tactics.
There is distance between people's stated and actual preferences. Data on stated preferences can be gathered via surveys (with the usual distortions), but revealed preferences can be trickier to identify, to do so accurately and with any granularity is a real problem.
Forget advertisers, this is a boon for academic political science and sociology research. Facebook has such massive data sets that there could be dozens or hundreds of unknown correlates of political preference, behavior, and decision making. Not to mention responses to outcomes and conditions.
I can't think of any University that wouldn't want to get its hands on this data. I hope Facebook makes it available to academia.
Backspace as "go back" has only ever caused me headaches. Even right here on slashdot. All it took was not realizing that the text input box had lost focus, and all my typing would go poof. The issue was largely alleviated when chrome started to 'remember' what I had typed, so hitting forward would usually refill the box, but it's still a bit of a nail-biter.
I don't use a lot of keyboard shortcuts in browsers, really just Ctrl+R, so the change only works to my benefit.
My girlfriend is a realtor, so they called her to sell her ad space on Google. As she was sitting next to me, I pulled up Google's advertising policy. It already seemed suspicious that Google would be cold calling people to sell ads, what with being so huge that advertisers should be coming to them, not the other way around. So the people on the phone admitted they were not google, and were reselling ad space. But the promises they were making directly contradicted details of Google's policy, and when I pointed this out, they insisted they were legit, had been doing it for years and were right down the street from Google's main campus. They seemed deeply hurt that I suspected they were a scam, but it never smelled right.
Come on, you know you all want to try building powershell in 'Bash on Ubuntu on Windows', then open powershell, run bash from inside it and then run powershell again.
Actually, it's more like, "BAFANGOOL! FUCKING MOVE IT ALREADY!", despite not being Italian and living about 40 miles outside the city. Or, "JESUS FUCK! FUCKING MOVE!" I might actually swear more than anyone else in the State of Georgia.

According to the Sumerian King List, that's nothing.

Same place I'm hoping your political commentary is coming from - a sense of humor.
Touché .

And will it change again tomorrow?

Regarding the latter, I suspect it is because a particular US political party is seeking to discredit them.

Not having Intel money, I'm looking forward to the new AMDs.
Is that what they're saying? Doesn't that go on the Southbridge?
And I love it!

manner? Without being economists or sociopaths?? Weird.
Dangit, where are my mod points when I need them!?
since 10,000 BC!
Like, "This space reserved for Elon Musk"?
Plus Henry Rollins was in it, and as much as I like him, his presence on a cast is a clear indicator that a movie stinks.
