There may be people who get infected out of mindless stupidity, but there are also plenty who are infected without doing anything stupid, but just happen to have received medicine for hemophilia at the time it was unsafe, or lived a mundane sex life with a partner who happened to seek sexual adventures also elsewhere and so on...
There is good reason why to not like streaming - especially the downward-spiral of ever less bandwidth and more compression leading to terrible artifacts in complex scenes. But Spielberg and many other oldies chide streaming for all the wrong reasons - they are living in some nostalgia land where being surrounded by other people in a movie theater is idealized as a feature rather than a nuisance.
And for everyone who can invest like 4000 bucks into home cinema equipment, the display and audio quality is on par if not better at home than in 99% of all movie theaters (if the material is not compressed to death).
A friend of mine created a "live.com" account just to play some games on an Xbox. Microsoft insisted on him providing an actual mobile phone number to short message some code to - and most suspiciously refused any phone number powered by one of the many SMS-to-IP gateways. He ultimately used the mobile number of some emergency pre-paid phone that had been residing for many months unused in his car. And guess what, only days after this use advertisement cold calls started showing up in the "missed call" history of this phone.
Let's face it: No matter what the big corporations tell you, they will sell whatever tiny piece of data you give to them.
Is there a single reason why your game console, let alone random people on the Internet, should know your real name and home address?
I would not share such information with a toy. Heck, even the people with whom I play racket sports in real life don't know more than my first name, and there is no reason why they would need to know more.
RDR1 was pretty "slow paced", and so is RDR2. I liked RDR1 the way it was, and I like RDR2. If the author does not like games of that type, he could have known before and not bought it.
... from old 35mm and 70mm analog film to state from experience that even if this remaster is done with lots of effort from the original negative, it will not reveal any details you could not see on a 1080p remaster.
Even the better examples like the 35mm "Rambo First Blood" or the 70mm "2001 - A space Odyssey" remasters do not get anywhere near a modern digital 4k camera recording.
Having a corpus of transcribed voice recordings available is indeed the most relevant prerequisite to implement decent speech recognizers. About Mozilla's own attempt on this, "DeepSpeech", I have so far heard disturbing things, like being painfully slower than "real time" even on utilizing a mid-range GPU. (And we talk of the recognition, not the training!)
Back in the 1990s, our speech recognizers allowed "real time" recognition on a Pentium-133MHz. Admittedly with probably a smaller vocabulary and a higher error rate than DeepSpeech, but we talk about an insanely high factor of more computational power here being consumed by DeepSpech.
Would be more honest of them to strike the numbers completely and just state that every USB device is a lottery ticket, and the winners earn a working connection, with the rare 1st prize being "connection at some highish speed".
Why crack Android when it is just the colorful bloat-ware browser that you need to crack, in order to access every interaction of the user with some web service? FIDO or not FIDO does not make a difference to this kind of threat. After the death of Flash, JavaScript is certainly the biggest contributor to this threat.
While suspicion is always a good thing, FIDO is less inclined to expose your identity to some arbitrary web service than classic TLS client certificates or simple cookies or JavaScript run-time environments are.
The FIDO standard itself is definitely not guilty of trying to increase tracking capabilities.
But of course, a malicious implementation of FIDO in a browser could be abused by the browser's vendor to facilitate even more tracking. So a non-Google open source browser implementing FIDO would certainly be even better.
FIDO itself does not enforce a client key to reside on any specific hardware, so it could theoretically reside in just some software-implemented key storage.
But unlike TLS client certificates, FIDO is well-prepared to work for web sites that want to make sure the client is actually using some sort of hardware key storage, from where it is never transferred into the main memory.
So I understand the most prominent advantage for e.g. a bank would be that they could issue their favorite hardware token to the user and be pretty sure that as long as a FIDO supporting browser is available to the user, he will also be able to use the hardware token for "online banking" without exposing his key to those who compromised his computer. (Which of course does not preclude every possible abuse scenario.)
People are concerned also in practice, not just in theory. But many lack the will power or are outright too lazy to take the appropriate measures.
Saying that people are not practically concerned about privacy is like saying smokers are not practically concerned about their health. Most definitely are, they are just too addicted and lack the will power to quit that known hazardous habit.
I think you completely misunderstood what the comment you replied to intended to say. The commenter did not suggest that any movie he listed (or did not list) conveys some anti-male message. He suggested that the listed movies had female main characters and were successful, without making a fuss about the gender of a main character. And that making a fuss about the gender of a movie character before release may lower many people's interest in watching them, if only because there are now several example of "opposite-gender-remakes" (like Ghost Busters or Ocean's 8) that are just shitty movies, with "oh let's try to tell the same story with inverted genders" as their only idea being just way too little to make remake interesting. (And yes, there are also way to many remakes that are unrelated to gender-ado.)
It cannot possibly be that security flaws in communication are a consequence of bad design, sloppy/cheap implementation or deliberate back-door placement by domestic agencies. We demand our usual amount of foreign-evil-doer blame-assignment!
So you are fine with Youtube getting all that content for free while you pay them for it. I for one would rather consider to pay the authors of the videos, not Youtube.
Do you realize this is about completely mundane videos of children in everyday activities, with the only thing related to "pedophilia" being the claim that it was pedophiles who left idiotic comments that suggest parts of these videos were somehow arousing sexual feelings?
While theoretically, extremely stupid pedophiles might actually have been the authors of those comments, it seems just as likely that trolls seeking attention for either fun or publicity or money wrote those comments themselves to then base a "scandal" on them.
You mean like GPRS really bringing the success for WAP, like Edge satisfying all our bandwidth needs, like UMTS bringing blazingly fast data plus ultra high quality voice connections to everyone, and like 4G "LTE" bringing a "Long Term Evolution"?
Sorry, but there is no reason to believe in the next of those hypes. There is no obstacle to connect LTE towers with "extra big tubes", if that is what carriers wanted. What they really want is people spending more money on data transfers, while limiting their investments as much as possible.
The British, who are considered "5-Eyes"-spying comrades of the US, have, as you can read, not seen compelling evidence. And they have been the poodle fetching US-thrown sticks for decades now. What more non-evidence can you ask for?
The allegations against Huawei are as credible as the Bloomberg Story on spy chips on SuperMicro boards and the reports on WMDs in Iraq.
Sure one has to assume back-doors exist in network equipment and handle the risks - but in Cisco hardware, such back-doors (as trivial as "default passwords") pop up like every other month, even before the NSA tampers with the devices during shipment.

In the background of the slogan, the full page was filled with an image of the starting Challenger space shuttle.

"Shoes with firmware" are so stupid and hilarious that people would dismiss them as unrealistic nonsense even in a comedy movie.
If they are known to exist and "disabled", the most easy thing is to put an adhesive sticker on their lens.

Not in minutes, in a few seconds. Current 5G chips have been measured to deliver up to 7 GBit/s.
