that NK is the source of a lot of malware. Surely if they had the ability to produce such malware they would also have the ability and motivation to protect their own Windows PCs from malware from other countries -- while white-listing their own malware.
For me this casts doubts on the stories of NK being a major malware source.
would be the result of AI choosing what the film studios make next. AI would work by rating what has been produced in the past. Someone with an idea for something completely new would not be highly rated by AI... the risk is that they would not get the support to do it, so we all loose.
In the UK a domain that is non commercial can opt to keep the name of the registrant private. I like that distinction of what should be publicly known and what can reasonably be kept private.
Another good example is the UK registry of limited companies. Here are the names of the directors of Tesco (a large supermarket) for all to see. How does that differ from whois ?
their user, when seeking permission for face recognition, if they have asked all their friends if they are OK with facebook to recognising their faces ?
I doubt it. So using the agreement of one facebook user facebook will work on the faces of many who have not agreed - and might not be aware that this is happening.
So I held the individual Roomba AI accountable and busted the thing up with a baseball bat. My rug didn't get fixed, but I felt better.
So might that make you guilty of ''murder'' ? OK: not in the case of Roomba, but in a few years time how will destroying a far more capable AI be viewed ?
Social media need the network effect to succeed. Facebook has grown big because many people can find their friends there (and then acquire fake friends)
If they want to grow they need to work on a social media interworking protocol - so that you can link to people who use different social media platforms. They will not become the next Facebook, they might succeed as one of a federation of social media platforms that all work together.
Facebook will refuse to interwork with other SM platforms until it finds that it is loosing users to the SM federation.
While there is a place for electronic communication: emails, 'phone calls, on-line group messaging, what is far more satisfying is meeting people in the flesh to: chat, eat together, dance, go for walks,... that is how true friendships are nurtured and grow. When you are with people you more easily learn their true nature. We are a social species -- this need has been exploited by social media, with the unfilled promise that using it will make us more socially successful: whereas the result is often the opposite.
There are zounds of free e-mail clients out there, why are you stuck with using Windows Mail is beyond me.
You & I are not typical computer users; we know that other MUAs exist; know how to find them; know how to install them.
Many people would not install a different MUA; if you were to tell them to do it they would not for fear of it breaking their PC.
Sad but true.
What proportion of the OEM cost of an ARM chip is licensing fees ? How much will these guys save - there is a lot of work in designing a chip; it will only add up if they plan making huge numbers of them, anyone any idea what that number is ?
No mention of how much is leaked to google: copies of your files sent there or other metrics that google might sniff. But if you are happy with that then yes it is secure.
as the car is driving down route 101, do you honestly expect the computer onboard to STOP the car, right there? in many cases, there is not even a pullover (lay-by) lane.
I appreciate that... but it is a case of the least worse thing to do. Yes: stopping on a busy motorway would get a lot of people annoyed at him and honking their horns - but he would still be alive -- assuming that the guy in the car behind him was not asleep as well. In engineering there is a concept of Fail safe, when I was taught to drive: stopping was the fail-safe action; embarrassing and might get you a ticket, but usually better than continuing to move forwards.
If the car had "several visual and one audible hands-on warning" then maybe the autopilot should bring the car to a halt. However I suspect that what happened was more complicated and that we do not know the full story.
Maybe you should think about retiring these old devices, especially if they are visible from the global Internet. The encryption that they support is no longer fit for purpose and is dangerous -- vulnerable to being cracked by $enemy. Continuing to use them is like continuing to drive a car where it is known that the brakes have failed.
Slashdot Mirror
The link points to an ad that is blatantly ILLEGAL under American law.
But in spite of this they somehow succeed in getting tax exempt status (501(c)(3) non-profit). This should be challenged.

I wish the United States had a healthy government.
You have the best government that money can buy.
produce a VR world where the spies can chase after each other and leave the rest of us alone.
Why do you right wing nutjobs hate the Earth?
The big effects of climate change are several decades into the future, propping up coal wins votes in 3 years time.
Please tell us how you would do it for less -- paying for kit at Puerto Rican prices.
Fine the execs. Until the execs lose their homes & their daughters have to give up their ponys they will not change their behaviour.

fine (issue penalties) to people for paying late!

is them making a discovery but not telling us.
Won't for a while ... hopefully!

we know that other MUAs exist
Are you sure? I don't even know what a fucking MUA is.
A few seconds search and you would have found what a MUA is.
PS: why the need for profanity ?

sorry, I should have said 'Telemetry' !
I wonder if this was at the behest of the NSA who were worried about spy-ware free Linux boxen; this lets the keep tabs on more people.
