Thanks. Wish I had mod points.
I didn't see any mention of controlling drones with AI. Apparently, these offended folks are ok with drones releasing weapons without proper analysis of the images - possibly endangering innocents.
An programmer/author named T.D. (Tyler) Smith wrote a children's book called, "Goodnight Server Room" for kids aged 1 to 5. He said he and his children knew all about firetrucks and front-loaders because that was the sort of subject matter available for a lot of kid's books. He wanted to give his kids a start at understanding what Daddy did all day so he wrote the book. As for adults...
Hence the part about eminent domain. Governments can seize private property for public use following the payment of just compensation for that property. Those poles can't cost all that much, can they?
Pass an ordinance that requires the incumbents to respond to request to prepare their poles within (x) time or face penalties of $(y) dollars per hour. If the incumbents tell the city to pack sand, invoke eminent domain and kick their butts to the curb (revoke their semi-monopolies). After all, Google is standing by and ready to fill the need. Can you tell IANAL?
Bureau Director Richard Cordray called the Senate vote “a giant setback for every consumer in this country” and urged Trump to veto the repeal legislation.
“It robs consumers of their most effective legal tool against corporate wrongdoing,” Cordray said. “As a result, companies like Wells Fargo and Equifax remain free to break the law without fear of legal blowback from their customers.”
Cordray is the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau - the bureau that issued the rule.
Congress, in fact, already acted after the Equifax breach. They killed a recent, not-yet-enacted rule that would have allowed consumers to file class-action suits against financial institutions. There. Mission Accomplished. Now Equifax can show mock contrition at these hearings while consumers are left holding the tab.
Thanks - I was just curious because I hardly see any Chromebooks in my repair shop. Almost all Windows laptops and desktops (never a Linux machine, either).
Chromebooks have outsold Windows laptops on Amazon for years and years now.
Could you cite a source for those numbers? I searched but didn't find anything that shows Chromebooks anywhere close to matching Windows laptops. I did find a claim on ZDNet that said Chromebooks had surpassed Windows laptop sales but I ignored it because the accompanying chart showed the latter dominating the market. Business Insider compares sales for 2014-2016.
It may be, as you say, to make the threat to NK clear. It may also be preferable to use individual bombs because ballistic missiles carry multiple warheads that can be individually aimed. Once NK is glowing, what would they do with the remaining warheads?
I prefer passwords, too, but they can be taken from you without your knowledge. The problem is passwords (or hashes) are stored at the places you authenticate. Even when you use unique passwords, there is a potential breach for each site/authentication pair and there's nothing you can do about that. That said, the point about biometrics not being mutable while still being vulnerable to loss is key.
Despite privacy concerns, we bought an Echo for my father-in-law who is over 90 years old and lives alone in another city. It is there so he can say, "Alexa, call whats-his-name," even if he had fallen and couldn't get up (sorry, Clapper).
No. The article says a piece of dust could possibly cause a dead key - not a repeating key. The complaint, though, is that a piece of dust could require the owner to pay for a $700 repair (after the warranty runs out). That's just stupid.
Sorry to hear of your predicament. Here's hoping the science comes through for you. I guess the best you can do is to see all you can while it is assured, prepare for the dark if it comes and hope for the best from your ophthalmologist (and maybe get a second opinion).
Hang in there.
The lack of concern by people I care about doesn't mean they are risk-free. The fact they don't care just compounds the problem. What can we recommend? Proxies or VMs? Industrial-strength firewalls? It just isn't going to happen. The best we can do is decide (for them) which is better - the state-sponsored spying or the thieving horde. Some choice. Probably no choice at all.
I trust(ed) Kaspersky more than the Senators bad-mouthing them. They look pretty bad in this light, though. Not because of collusion with the KGB but because their software can't, apparently, protect their own systems.
So who can we trust, then? Symantec? McAfee? Windows Defender? Please. It looks like we either have to swallow the fact we're going to be entertaining uninvited guests or we'll have to try to live without our security blankets. It isn't so bad for/. readers but what about those friends and family who are more-and-more at risk? What a stinkhole we've made of the Internet.

I find this story strangely attractive. But then I do have that metal plate in my skull.
Good to know the technology exchange between Apple and China is a two-way street.

Nano-materials, in general, seem to be becoming a significant source of hard-to-cleanup pollution. Do you see nano-tech heading in the same direction?

If my 10 year old kid goes to that much effort to get into my phone I'll be rather proud of him.
A 10-year-old boy discovered he could unlock his father's phone just by looking at it.
Son, I am disappoint.

Pull my finger.
So that's why I started drinking a liter of Vodka a day!

digiKam dot org has face recognition.
So, you're betting there's a high probability of the Russian government having no non-public involvement with Kaspersky?
I guess I'm in.
