What I wonder is, if encryption can be 'instantly broken,' does this also mean that remaining crypto-coins can be instantly discovered?
This could theoretically be the biggest breakthrough in computing since transistors, and this person is wondering about how it's going to affect Monopoly money? Jesus.
Yes. That "monopoly money" is kind of a big thing. And it uses encryption. Which is what this is about.
They are talking about adding this to the YouTube Android App, not the website. If using the website, you still have to pause your history the old way I'm guessing. But even then your history would still be saved by your browser. So realistically you'd have to go into Incognito mode, AND pause your history too.
The same thing would happen if you didn't have an account. This is a fairly well established practice called browser fingerprinting. Google likely honored your request to not save search history on your account. But yes they are still tracking every single browser they can identify as unique. And though browser fingerprinting is supposed to be anonymous, it's hard to believe some correlation isn't going on there. Realistically though, these types of "Incognito" settings were never about hiding your activity from Google or your ISP in the first place. It's just about not storing your history on your computer or user account.
Shadow profiles are used to prevent data scraping. Didn't you know? To prevent scraping data from an account that never existed they create a new account FOR YOU! You don't even have to do anything. Isn't that brilliant? It makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
First it says:
"The proposed Picture-in-Picture API allows websites to initiate and control this behavior," he says.
According to the new API, websites will be able to control when to open or close the PiP popup, set the popup size, overlay custom controls, restrict certain interactions inside the popup, and gather statistics on when users open or leave PiP and how they used it. Then it says:
Most importantly, during Bleeping Computer's experiments, we've noticed the PiP extension would float almost all videos we tested, meaning the feature doesn't rely on website owners changing their code for it to work.
Which is it? I understand it being a browser feature that the user initiates. I can see the use of playing a video while doing other stuff on the computer. But I can't understand why a website would be able to control this feature and gather statistics about it. Why?
I don't know what they think they saw, but just because you say "um" a couple times doesn't mean you're thinking like a human. This is basically a case of good speech synthesis and voice recognition.
Physics are still cool, that's why. Storing and playing analog music on a tape or a flat piece of vinyl is like magic, especially if you are growing up in an all digital world and missed that whole part. Plus they are really just collectible items. And it's really no different than any of the other millions of collectible things people buy all the time.
I would. This makes Chrome laptops more appealing to me. When you want to run Linux on laptops you always have to be careful to select the right laptop which is compatible enough to make it worth buying. Having a laptop that is out of the box compatible is different, or at least where the company that makes it is designing it to do what you want to do. Everything I do on a Linux laptop is either in a browser, or in a terminal. I'm fine with Chrome doing the browser work. And if I have a fully functional terminal, ChromOS may be virtually indistinguishable to me at least with how I use Linux on a daily basis. Also I'm cool with the VM, as long as it's seamless and efficient. Plus you're not really running Linux in a VM, you are running the Linux programs in a VM. ChromeOS is still native. But you're doing what it was designed to do, as opposed to always seeming like you're using workarounds. I also like that it would make development for Android more seamless than if on a Linux machine. I won't be ditching Linux for ChromeOS any time soon, but it does increase my interest level.
Ever wonder how YouTube stars have millions of subscribers? That's right? Millions of logged in users subscribe to them. And those same users favorite videos, leave comments, upload their own videos, have their own channels, like videos, create playlists etc... So yes there is an advantage to logging in. YouTube is kind of a big thing.
By their username or avatar. Unless you are 100% aloof, you can very often assume country of origin, sex, race just from the username they choose, and it can be as simple as using their actual name. It's not rocket science. No spying required.
First off, there are avatars (though it doesn't appear a whole lot of people use them). But more importantly, people very often use their actual name. And just from the name you can make pretty general assumptions of sex, country of origin, race etc... And even if they don't use their real name there may be other other unintentional info in the username that you can make assumptions with, such as using a word in another language etc... It's not even hard to do.
It doesn't take long to realize that right out of the box Alexa is basically just speech recognition and voice commands. There is not a whole lot of typical "AI" going on. I do think eventually Alexa will get to a point where you are holding a normal conversation with a device that has an endless amount of knowledge, but right now it's not even close.
I don't know all that much about Quantum theory, but it does appear that you are contradicting what quantum entanglement is about. Quantum entanglement is not two particles spinning the same way, but two particles that are the opposite of each other and when combined cancel each other out (when combined have a spin of zero). If you could change the spin of A then the spin of B is the opposite. That IS transmitting information.

I have Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and Google Play. And I still use Redbox all the time.
If I got MoviePass I'd feel obligated to go to the theater, which seems like a lot of effort and pressure.

Right, but this article is about temporarily pausing history WHILE you are logged into your account.

Congratulations, now you violated Federal Law as well as the Facebook TOS!

Taking the word "control" out of the context of the article is mostly what I'm getting out of this take...
What I want to see is when robot call another... what do they say?
It would be a series of bleeps and bloops.
But what was horrifying again? The technology or the reaction?
Seriously - wtf is there to do for 12 hours per day 6 days a week?
Solitaire.

How are you getting all these email accounts that aren't tied together?

So basically, in other words, the algorithm works correctly, for all parties involved.

My experience with SO is this:
1. Google Search
2. Click on link that happens to be stackoverflow
3. Generally ignore the green checkmark
