The key word here is "early". Apparently the device can detect lung cancer early on. The earlier you know sb has cancer, the better you can treat them.
The term "Renewable" itself is a lie. One day even the sun will stop shining. (And before, it will become really hot on earth, and the sun will swallow this planet).
but I give a fuck about how popular some game trailer is on youtube. I can understand why somebody likes the popularity of a video, and I can understand people being fans of video games, but I doubt anyone reasonable cares about how popular some trailer video for some game is. I like youtube for many areas of videos, but trailers are not one of them.
The big story here is that facebook wants to become the *only* way you get your news. No news outlet really was built with that goal in mind, they all are just "newspapers".
I have disliked this thought from the day I've heard it, and this is just more proof to why it is a bad idea for me as an user to use this service. It might be a good idea for facebook, obviously mark zuckerberg became really rich with that.
Its the same story as selling junk food it seems. Bad for the customer but good for the seller.
Yeah facebook building this restricted version of the internet means that they have full control over what happens on it, including which news reach the people, and which don't. This is part of why facebook is so valuable. Facebook stock would drop if this practice would be banned.
Fingerprints are not unique. At least not fingerprints on one finger. Same goes for DNA, you may have a twin with exactly the same DNA, and perhaps one day cloning humans becomes a thing.
The problem with SSNs is that they are used as some way you can use to prove you are you. But as is with credit card expiration dates, the secret stops being one if you give it to another entity. The problem SSNs are just damn easy to use, unlike public keys. Explain a grandma how to gpg sign a random generated 512-bit challenge.
No, SSNs were intended for identification. What SSNs were never designed for was authentication. A system where you give them your SSN in order to prove you are really you is flawed by design.
The SSNs are unique and that's great for identification purposes as people may share the same name and date of birth. But an SSN should be no secret, because if you send it to all entities you want to prove you really are who you claim to be, the secret ceases to be a secret.
Replace the SSN by hashes of a public key, and let the services send you challenges instead. That system will work, but probably nobody will want to use it.
Does Apple make its iphones? No. Foxconn makes them. And this is no socialist "we do the work" bullshit, foxconn could easily declare that they do the iphones themselves and ship them with android. Why do they not do it? Because of patent and trademark laws.
Now what if a company *wanted* to make products in a market, but is not successful in it? Should it ask everyone to pay for its patents as well? Microsoft is doing well these days, and a big chunk does not come from windows, but from patents they hold on android devices. They don't produce any phones, the windows phone market share is very low. Are they a patent troll?
So if you consider this behaviour by microsoft "trollish": Where is the border? How much % of the market share do you need to have in order to be considered a "practicioning entity"?
So why does a patent hold by a company that makes a product implementing this patent become "evil" just because that company went bankrupt and the patent gets sold to a "patent troll" company which then tries a different way to make money with the patent? The money the patent troll paid for the patent goes to to the creditors of the company, so it helps getting the bills paid the original company had. Isn't that something good?
One of the fears that I have with Vulkan is that it destroys the progress with application isolation that has been inspired by android and other platforms and that is happening on the desktop now as well, look at wayland as an example. One of the red flags was hearing the developers of WebGL say that a web version of Vulkan won't be reasonable because of the missing ability to confine the the applications.
So yes I like low level, but please don't make isolating applications impossible.
The EMT's just have to attach you to gdb and then press ctrl-c. Then your state is saved and you can be safely brought to the clinic without any haste.
This trick will win me the nobel prize, I've invented something much better than cryostasis!
The publishers were really lucky this time that the bug only deleted books. It could have been far worse. You couldn't have imagined the losses for the publishers if the bug for example would have allowed the normal sheeple customers to circumvent the intellectual property protection mechanisms. That would have been really bad.
No they are just right. Distributing anything with systemd on it is a grave crime you know. After all, systemd is cancer, or at least I've heard that on slashdot.
No machine buildable by man is turing complete, as our universe has finite mass, and it is impossible to build an infinite machine that can simulate a full turing machine. In this particular case it means that the analytical engine probably has not enough RAM or whatever its name for it is.
Often times the actual groundbreaking research for software patents which aren't trivial has been done by academics, who didn't file patents for their discoveries. The patents are done by the people who read the papers and apply that research. I think that's wrong.
Also, often people are not sure what particular software patents cover, or whether a particular technique is covered by patents, and don't want to risk being pursued offensively, so they rather license the patent than to fight in court over it.

Sandboxes won't help against leaks.
I assume you have heard of git blame?

Just imagine all the people trying to connect to TPB in order to find out whether its really censored.

Just get an ad blocker. Its what I do. The checkbox never really worked for me.
No, you don't need to do it. Most bigger distros ship these days with bootloaders that work with secure boot.
Do you see any car manufacturer deliberately bricking people's cars and telling them they have to buy a new one?
Yes, that's called planned obsolescence. But it isn't as rude as Microsoft is doing it.
Install linux.
You know that TVs have appy apping apps these days itself as well?
