This (#1) is correct for the XPS 13 since SecureBoot can be disabled but it may not be true for other laptops - even if they run Ubuntu. Ubuntu (and derivatives) can be booted on a SecureBoot machine even if you can't disable SecureBoot. Most Linux distros and other OSes, however, can't be booted on machines where the manufacturer has locked down SecureBoot. It might be a good idea to take some non-Ubuntu liveCD (like FreeBSD) with you when you're shopping for a laptop.
Oops, sorry. First Amendment.
"Other than the First Amendment, I found no mention of the press. The First Amendment protects the freedom of the press but protecting the business model of the media would seem unconstitutional."
In simple terms, the Press (Media) has a specific purpose which is clearly defined in the US Constitution.
I don't find any definition of the press in my copy of the Constitution. Other than the Second Amendment, I found no mention of the press. The Second Amendment protects the freedom of the press but protecting the business model of the media would seem unconstitutional.
"it's clearly not filtering down to every school, and that harms the children"
What kind of arrogant ass claims that not turning children into code-monkeys will harm them?
For that matter, where is the evidence that this kind of curriculum leads to more people deciding to become programmers?
Back in the day, lots of kids went to wood shop classes. I don't remember there being a glut of carpenters as a result.
So just point him at a brief description of web development languages (such as this article). If there are bits in there that are of interest, he can pursue them.
There'll eventually be automatic functions to stop a car when a pedestrian is detected in the car's path and to stop the car or pull it over if there is a collision.
1. Step in front of self-driving car on lonely road: car stops
2. Jump on hood of self-driving car: car is immobilized
3. ???
4. Profit!!
I don't believe even a politician could be that stupid.
The closer we get to elections season, the more the hot buttons get pressed. That isn't because they suddenly feel the need to defend the flag, mom and apple pie. It's because they need a cash infusion to get re-elected.
A single post that acknowledges that both Europe and the US are diverse? Thank you for restoring my faith in human nature. I may have to quit the Internet, now.
Absolutely! Applying The Art of War to cyberwarfare is pretty goofy. There are many actors with many motivations, targets, aspirations, strategies (or lack thereof) and tactics. The general principles can apply if you are focused on a particular opponent but are meaningless to "cyberwarfare" at large.
Most states have regulations controlling how weapons may be transported. I don't think any state allows somebody to mount twin 50's to their car. Even in Texas a weapon being carried in a car has to be out of plain view (concealed).
Security vulnerabilities will get much worse and more impactful as we migrate to driverless vehicles. Government action isn't the answer - laws/regulations only address known flaws - and at the grossest level. Unfortunately, shiny things sell way better than safe things.
Not a fan of Hacking Team but the story seems more heavy breathing than actual threat. It would, no doubt, be bad if our law enforcement agencies were to deploy spy drones. The sad thing is, despite the innuendo of "Insitu also markets its drones for law enforcement," they don't need to use such an expensive attack vector when they can just send out a van (Stingray) with a couple minimally-trained police officers and do the same thing. This device seems more suitable for environments where they mutilate, hang and burn spy agency operatives.

Doesn't tlambert deserve the right to be forgotten?
The "foreign" banks are complying with their own governments' Intergovernmental Agreements, not U.S. law.

Exactly. The only case where outside control should be allowed is when there is no licensed driver on board (self-parking, etc).

Europe is a diverse place, and so is the US.

I'm fairly sure that electric car tipping is illegal...and I'm positive electric car penetration is forbidden.
he gave better, more cogent and thoughtful interviews than most NFL or NBA players.
So did Wilson.
This really is a load of crap.

Well, that's not going to fit in a tweet.
I was hoping to find the answer to the question, "Would a swarm of pistol-packing drones beat a bear with a machine gun riding a shark?"
I think "several Linux flavors " boils down to just Ubuntu and it's derivatives. That really constrains your boot options.
They can send back the bodies from the Mars mission in zip-lock bags!
...support for Java. No Webmin. Piss off.

Behold the advent of the hunter-killer drone!

In the US, the money (cash) says, "This note is legal tender for all debts public and private." Cashless? Shut up and take my cash.
