  1. Nice try, NSA! on Postcard From Pyongyang: The Airport Now Has Wi-Fi, Sort of (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    disguising your equipment in such a unusual place, to monitor occidental citizen who are traveling to and from Pyongyang is a masterpiece indeed!

  2. Rather than buying bitcoins... on Bitcoin's Value Plummeted Overnight and No One Knows Why (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    ...please invest $ 22.95 for this book.
    It is well worth the cost, and - if you understand the logic behind financial bubbles - you will spare plenty of your money in the future.

  3. Do one really needs all these details ? on Google Maps's Moat: How Far Ahead of Apple Maps is Google Maps? (justinobeirne.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    When I move from point A to point B, II don't care if there are antennas on the roofs of the buildings prospecting the road you travel through, or if there is a dentist in the middle of my journey. I simply want a no-frills, clearly understandable map (that by the way in my case is displayed on the screen of a iPhone SE placed at about one meter from my eyes).
    In our family we have a iPhone, a Windows 8 phone, and an Android tablet. The tablet through Google maps gives the most detailed description of the territory, but we never use it for getting directions, drawing the map with all the details clogs the 4-CPU tablet to the point it becomes a paperweight. Deciding who is the best map navigator between the iPhone and M$oft^H^H^H^H^H Nokia is difficult, I actually prefer the former, my wife the latter, but both work fine and draw circles around the Google navigator in terms of usability.

  4. I spent the whole day... on New York City Moves To Create Accountability For Algorithms (propublica.org) · · Score: 1

    ...fighting with a FFT-based algorithm that causes plenty of troubles. After reading TFA I started wondering if my algorithm does not work as expected just because it is just discriminating me. I will ask mr. Vacca about...

    They are also responsible of about 99% of Slashdot posts.

  7. On the other side... on Think Twice About Buying Internet-connected Devices Off Ebay (qz.com) · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    ...IoT devices you buy at Amazon, Walmart and similar places is 100% safe, NSA approved.

  8. Replace the OS on Can Intel's 'Management Engine' Be Repurposed? · · Score: 1

    Since security problems have been found in the Intel ME, it is probably better to replace the whole operating system. Consider installing Windows. Not having a video adapter connected to the ME engine will fix some annoyances like those BSOD that once in a while appear when running Windows in the user space.

  9. So all new songs... on Samsung Targets First Half of 2018 for Smart Speaker (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    ...will contain the line "Bixby, catch fire!"

    Just follow the fire brigade.

  14. And 100% of people who answered the survey... on Study Finds Different Types of Alcohol Can Determine Different Moods (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

  15. After last update... on Skype Vanishes From App Stores in China (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    ...it vanished from my computers as well. The laptop where I used Skype most runs 32 bit linux. Microsoft dropped 32 bit support for linux, so we all moved video conversations elsewhere.

  16. Lightings anyone ?!? on Bill Gates Just Bought 25,000 Acres in the Arizona Desert (kgw.com) · · Score: 1

    Given the amount of electronic equipment they are going to install, I would check first issues about lighting protection, soil conductivity, etc.
    From some statistics, although Arizona isn't exactly in the "hottest" place for lightings, in Summers it seems they get a lot of thunderstorms as well. Raising constructions over a flat land could easily change statistics, however.

  17. Cannot happen on Are You OK With Google Reading Your Data? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    I strongly discouraged my coworkers to share documents using Google Docs. We used it now and then for writing some scientific papers, but our work is too valuable to have somebody snooping it. We then came back to offline strong encryption and email file exchange. This of course does not ease collaborative writing anymore, but we found that actually - at least in our work - our present approach is much better. Next step will be to have coworkers give up Word for Latex, but this is not easy...
    I, for myself, never used Chrome, and I stopped using Google search and email since last change of service agreement.
