I threw my hat into the political ring at the local level and started sparing by email with my local congressman. I found out he is in fact more interested in collecting his corporate donations and dismantling the EPA than anything else. I should ask him his thoughts on ruining business's opportunity to secure data? And if he is interested in securing a back door into encrypted data, that his emails and text messages between his interns that resulted in the dissolution of his marriage would likely be exposed to the public.
You mean the same guy who was selling weapons during the Iran-Contra scandal and then threw a future Fox News Corespondent, Oliver North under the bus.
Yes, he would never abuse power. He is all righteous.
Here's the thing, Orwell's main point still applies. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I don't see this as any different than Apple pay at some point. If this would help officers obtain validity of the license faster, this might be a benefit.
I don't think this should be a requirement for Iowa drivers, but a perk of driving in Iowa.
The downside that I can think of is that in many areas of Iowa I don't care to carry a smartphone because the lack of coverage there kills batteries.
I know I am counter to popularity, but I don't carry a phone that often. I am not allowed to use it at work, I only use it for tethering at school, and more often than not, I find myself trying to get away from the thing than keeping the annoyance of a device around. As opposed to my fitness tracker, no one questions me having it on, I don't get points deducted in class if I look at it, and no one every asks me to remove it.
Perhaps I am the niche, but in my case, the fitness tracker makes sense for me.
Fine, if we have to see what they other side is up to, perhaps we should see what we are up to as well. Do you have any idea how many Iraqis were killed during our invasion? I have heard some crazy numbers, but no real death other than a few leaked military videos. How many bombs have we drops, how many families have we burned?
The Jordanian Pilot was shot down, dropping bombs on ISIS/ISIL. He a lot of people in the process. Correction, he probably murdered several people. When you drop bombs on people, I am quite certain they don't instantly die. Many of the people bombed suffer in the process.
Not to say that ISIS is a nice group of people that deserve to be left alone, but if we are going to show horrific videos, let's show both sides instead of just the horrors of what they do. I am tired of seeing our bombs take off, only to have to go over to Al Jazeera to find out where our bombs dropped.
Venus would actually be pretty awesome if we managed to perfect carbon capture technology. Though we still have to deal with the problem of Venus being tidally locked. Yeah, not sure where I was going with this.
To the Atmosphere. Balloons will be our savior on the dark side of Venus.:)
France in the 90s tried to legislate and outlaw encryption with only a handful of exemptions allowed. That killed investment in the country. Businesses can't function if you take away their ability to encrypt their data. The government can't allow open access to data. We must have these protections to allow businesses to function. If a company can not protect their data, they will cease to do business there. Think of how many well guarded secrets are out there because of corporate America. Our entire cyber-security industry is built on the idea that ideas can flow from one location to another without everyone prying on what is contained in the message. This should not end. This can't end.
But according to the Heritage Foundation, Sweden isn't all that socialist because they have far less regulation. They just have higher taxes and poorer people. Granted, that was a manipulation of statistics, but I found the entire article rather hilarious.
I am trying to find this, but haven't had the luck.
Name calling is not the way. We should guilt these companies into believing that they are holding us back. They are not being the best in the world. They are preventing America from being the first nation. We should hold them accountable, but also let them know what harm they are causing.
This is a series of companies telling us that we don't need the best in the world, all the while we have our government leaders telling us that we are the best in the world.
Friedman talked about how our inter connectivity by the internet has pushed globalization to the forefront, and the US has lead because of this. Now that other countries are taking queue from the US, should our broadband providers become lax and accept the status quo, or should we demand to keep growing? I for one feel that we as a nation should demand more of our companies in order to promote growth, and if they feel the need to stop that growth, then they should be displaced. We have already started by cutting cables to the cable television companies because that no longer fits our needs. If we start to see markets stagnate, then we should have a right to ask them to keep growing. The internet has been key to the global dominance of the United States. Why prohibit our growth. Broadband providers companies, why do you hate America?
Calling your mother a slut doesn't really solve anything other than making the person saying it looking like a bit of a bully, and draw attention to information that people probably already knew, just simply forgot.
At the end of the day, you're probably pissed off. Your mom might be pissed off, after the mail man leaves. A few of my friends probably had a quick chuckle, but then think I am a bit of an ass, and feel sorry for you. Yet, we still don't know who your father is. So has anything really been accomplished?
I read the Future of the Mind and have to say that I am inspired to direct my studies towards neurology and man-machine interfaces as well as man-machine interface security.
I introduced myself to Michio Kaku late one night when I couldn't get any sleep. After Bill Nye's challenge to have Creationists stop hurting their children by teaching Creationism to them, I started looking through other postings to the BigThink Channel on Youtube. After seeing a 45 minute lecture on Physics, I thought I found myself hours later, wide awake at 5am, cursing him for being too interesting.
As far as the subject of celebrity scientists, we need idols who aren't airheads. Someone who can inspire people to work harder, strive to be more intelligent, I fail to see the harm. Who else should we be inspired by? Peter Griffen? Homer Simpson? Paris Hilton? Justin Bieber?
Yup, definitely North Korea! There is no possibility that anyone could have setup a proxy account on some North Korean IPs. Apparently that would never happen. Nope, not one iota of possibility. Those were definitely the originating IP addresses.
Here is what I see as possible: 1. North Korea managed to develop an acceptable army of hackers on their own in 5 years. (No internet in 2009, supposedly) 2. A group of hackers attacked Sony and North Korea managed to get tangled up in this with the release of the Interview. 3. China managed to help North Korea develop a group of hackers in 5 years. 4. Koreans from South Korea or Japan (There are several in Japan trying to get into government positions) who actually proxied into North Korea and executed the attack. (Samsung?) 5. Koreans in the US or elsewhere in the world managed to execute the this attack via proxy because they really don't like Sony? 6. Cyber Command or some other US agency decided to execute the attack, because let's rally the troops against North Korea because Syria is getting old? 7. Sony managed to pull off the entire thing because, "Rootkit 2005?"
More possibilities, but as this list grows longer, the realm of possibility gets less likely.
While this is true, the article by the Atlantic does appear to have some more interesting substance. Sorry that the submission doesn't grab you. Those who are interested in Neuroscience, such as myself, find the article at least a bit more entertaining.
Perhaps if we consider how we are approaching the mind in how it receives information and writes to long term memory, we can educate in a way that is more effective. While some people assume that this can be used as a big brother tool to train people to be robots, I see this as a tool to create an intelligent society or at least a curious society.
While subby and the Atlantic talk of discipline, I see this in a whole different manner of speaking. Then again, I see the writing of the original direction of the article, be misleading as well. Is subby to blame?
Push the movie to the digital streaming platforms. Netflix, Apple, Amazon, Hulu, and others could monetize the hell out of the movie. While that won't gain the money of a theatrical release, at least they will get some of the costs back.
Being that Sony is Japanese and has had a few issues with North Korea in the past, I can understand their country being a bit apprehensive about the release though.
Capabilities of the space craft being 3600 miles above Earth.
I am a bit disappointed though, I would like to see how she performs at least after a loop or two around the moon. To get Orion out in space for a couple loopty loops around the planet feels like such a waste of taxpayer money. Know, baby steps, but can we at least take a full step rather than this edging forward. When we look at the size and scale of Apollo in comparison to this, we would have already been launching people after the engineering modifications, after barbequing a trio of astronauts. We have been working on Constellation/Orion/SLS since 2005 or possibly earlier, post Columbia 2003, when we thought the space shuttles were going to need to be retired. Sadly, if this had been Apollo, we would already be seeing Neil on the Moon's surface waving back at us. There should be no reason why we shouldn't be able to get our own people up to a space station largely funded by us. I say we push forward with Orion testing, but also use it as a supply tool for the ISS.
As far as I am from a doomsday preparation fan, I tend to take security seriously. You might say that security is in my job title, which is accurate. Yes, you can have your tools provided by online resources, but depending on your paranoia level, you can also create an online profile which can be tracked with ease. Perhaps you want to be stalked, that's fine. We live in a society were fewer people value privacy. While I do enjoy the openness of open source as well as knowledge, I still hold a few things sacred and try to keep them to myself. Helps reduce the chance of identity theft and security breaches.
TNO tends to be a nice practice from time to time.
I am truly shocked by anyone from the security conscious world of Slashdot would do such a think such as push a cashless society.
The advantage to cash and coin is that you don't have a paper trail to follow everything you do. I have no problem putting purchases on a credit card, but there are ways around this to minimize your digital footprint.
Awesome that you can do what you choose to, but some of use do not want our spending dollars to serve as directing advertizing for our next purchase.

Because I would be okay with this.
