Injecting irony into a story makes the story more stimulating. Are you samping scientists, or are you sampling people who need to sell stimulating stories over and over?
Pretty sure they are in the USA Criminal Code: 18 U.S. Code 1030 - "Fraud and related activity in connection with computers" (a)(2)(C) "Whoever intentionally accesses a computer without authorization or exceeds authorized access, and thereby obtains information from any protected computer..." and the term "protected computer" is defined in 1030 (e)(2)(B) as "a computer which is used in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce or communication, including a computer located outside the United States that is used in a manner that affects interstate or foreign commerce or communication of the United States."
If you are using a fictional identity to register with a members-only website, then you are certainly using "a protected computer without authorization," since nearly every internet route (not LAN) is an interstate communication, making almost every webserver a "protected computer," and the fictional identity is authorized for access but you are not that fictional person therefore you are not authorized when you claim to be someone you aren't.
Each of those 30 to 150 people are licensed radio operators, trained and vetted in how to behave politely. You can't say there's "no problem" if people require training to overcome what you propose is absent.
That's the goal; the threat isn't meant to kill you, it's meant to stop you. And you just said you would stop if you are threatened. Therefore: threatening you is a valid tactic to achieve the goal.
"almost all I use is Chromebook" but then you say "via tVNC on my old desktop" and "I use Citrix to get into my desktop".
So is "my old desktop" a Chromebook too?
and where in the famous book does it say what happens after this time? Does it say the successive generations of AI will be benevolent, "loving all life," or they will solve any specific problem? Because boy howdy people love to tell us what exactly will happen and how pleasant things will be after the point of "we can't possibly know what will happen but I'll tell you what will happen."
Passing off wishful thinking as deductive reasoning is how we get dross like Earth-centric cosmology and Lysenkoism, and it turns my stomach.
"will cause a technological singularity for humanity..."
The reason why we call it "a singularity" is because of the event horizon, where we can't see what's beyond it. Why do self-called experts keep assuming there is necessarily a uptopia in a place they explictly state they cannot forsee?
I found my old XO-1 in a storage basket yesterday. It kept rebooting itself, so I looked into applying patches. The latest release is version 13.2.9 , published December 2017. Not bad.
In the release notes, it warns me there's a memory leak in this version, and it recommends
On the XO-1 we recommend that you restart Sugar every few hours, and especially after visiting the Background screen in My Settings. The leak is even more severe if the network view shows many icons.

in North America, {areacode}-555-1212 will connect you to directory assistance for that areacode's subset of phone numbers.
How will a court tell the difference between:
* someone knowingly and intentionally circumventing security, and
* when the robot has a flaw and behaves unexpectedly.
I can see some companies maknig accusations of malicious interference as a way to save face.
Is this why I've gotten three "we have a warrant for your arrest" robocalls in the past twenty-four hours? Same recording, but each is from a different state. and I'm not American.
"Opening" an email is tracked by whether an image in the HTML version of the email was fetched. Too many email clients will pre-fetch images so that it will look better or open faster when the human user finally does click on the item in their inbox. Knowing government employees, they aren't allowed to chose email software for work, and the config settings are locked-down. I expected that "opened the email" statistic to be way higher because government employees usually don't have a choice.
The 20% is the important statistic and that's scary enough already; no need for ABC News to embellish the story.
Wasn't there already a non-government extra-terrestrial live video event where we could see the curvature of the Earth from above? Or is this one of those things where anybody who produces evidence we don't like is clearly in-on-it and part of the big-as-we-need-it-to-be conspiracy?

Only if you can find someone willing to buy it off you. Think about why someone would buy your bitcoin at that pricetag.

How many people have taken drastic action based on one reporter saying they know (an unknown) someone who knows (undescribed) relevant things?

Does this also spell the death of the SOA and RP records in DNS, since they also broadcast contact information?

"Will Remove MP3 Files on April 30"
So my ogg, flac, opus and m4a files will remain? or does someone think any audio file is automatically an mp3 file?

I didn't find a 2008 survey, but I did find a 2010 survey. D'you mind doing some homework?
