Yes, please be the guinea pig and backdoor your encryption. Then when your banking system collapses because some idiot leaked the keys, maybe it'll light a lightbulb in governments elsewhere.
In the Fifties I believe there were discussions about the usefulness of fusion bomb and reasonable targets. The gist was, a megaton H-bomb would be wasted on a mid-sized city, but back then the really big targets were pretty much all inside the US. Other than Moscow, maybe Leningrad/St Petersburg, the Russian town size was much smaller then. So the Russians stood to gain much with H-bombs, not so much the US. But we made them anyway.

Hah. In the future, the neighborhood punks will hack your fridge's camera and post pictures of your half-dressed, disheveled self on FB. Then they'll crank the freezer up to 40 and laugh when your ice cream melts. You won't be able to open the fridge without first providing 5 forms of identification, all of which will be leaked in three days due to bad IoT security.
With the impending proliferation of different AIs competing for the average Joe's attention, will they cooperate or will it turn into a mad mess of corporate games? Will Siri ignore Cortana? Will your refrigerator's AI turn a deaf ear to the toaster's?
VW (and others?) were caught tampering with the engine code to get more performance while cheating on the emissions. It's problems like this that make the question of who owns the code, or who reviews it, very relevant...
Why does our society collectively feel so insecure about these people, and make the situation worse by legitimizing their cause with ineffective actions, as opposed to those other groups?
1. When they get lucky, terror acts are vivid and sensational -- media can't ignore. 2. Politicians reap benefits by playing the terrorist game. 3. No one wants to die by violence, or see their loved ones die that way, however low the numerical risk.
So, you'll have a scenario where physically attractive candidates are filmed for a day or so going through a standard catalog of expressions, which are then stored then mapped onto performances done by a handful of pro actors, who are never actually seen in the movie. This is not a new thing but may become more pervasive as time goes by. SAG is going to have to come up with some kind of personal likeness IP so the people who are seen on camera are paid by the movie instead of just a flat fee for a couple days' work.
Science is difficult and usually makes for dull reading. Science is inconvenient and complicated. It's hard to keep SF grounded in any real science and too easy to add great globs of fantasy sauce to the mix to keep it interesting. Even the masters at whose sainted feet we writhe sometimes resorted to hand-waving and goofball trickery.
Car dealers have always been one of the least pleasant parts of car ownership, and things like consumer protection laws were a reaction to that fact. That they balk at selling electric cars -- that the economic deck is stacked against them -- means that car selling needs fundamental changes. Tesla's been insightful in their sales model -- they did their homework.
A transposition error's what you get when you mistakenly transpose 2 digits when typing a number, ie 5712 instead of 5172. If there's an error in the expected total of a set of numbers and the difference is divisible by 9, chances are good one of the numbers has a transposition error.
If a self-driving car goes too fast, too slow, gets in an accident, etc who gets the ticket? The driver is software. The owner is merely a passenger. If it's a question of, the town needs money and has to ticket someone, then of course the owner gets stuck. But if the goal is to penalize bad driving, then the ticket should go to Google.

Don't know about that... they'll probably just fall to Earth...

So they sig-int guys at CIA, NSA, FBI etc who stare at ISIS sites all day long go directly to the jug?

Have the Feds ever discouraged tech companies from fixing software bugs, so their own exploits will continue to work?
Maybe editor is thinking of Day the Earth Stood Still which has theremin...
Though you can play Star Trek on a theremin, the original Trek theme was a fairly traditional orchestral score.

Was this really necessary? Forensic accounting not good enough?
Mining Ceres pollutes the oceans there and makes the land bad for the little green Ceres boys and girls.

Surely there must be an interpretation of the DMCA whereby the originator of IP can prevent its misuse? Or does that apply only to corporations?
