More accurately, a truck with a crew of four, hiding around the corner, travels half an hour, sets up for 20 minutes, works for 5 minutes and then charges for an hour and promptly drives off, to hide around the corner again. How many thousands of dollars do you think it cost and how many thousands of dollars do you thing they will charge and never forget it's you that pays for that bullshit.
Will they pay for the psychological damage of those texts. Consider they are not taking into account the specific psychological health of the people in question, just, meh fuck em, make it easier for us and will get is that promotion. So mentally challenged person, someone was just murdered near you, oh my god, it could have been you and by the by, yes we are watching you, we know were you were and we know where you are. So morons, how much damage do you think that message would do to a mentally ill individually under going therapy. How much damage would it do to normal people just minding their own business. Seriously, what the fuck.
They can stick with the Note if they make one major change, a use removable battery but that discount means, big ole fuck you to everyone, the phone killing built in battery remains hence the special deal because they have nothing special to sell.
Defend volkswagen how about this. Senior executives decided to scam the public and sell more vehicles to pump up their bonuses without doing the additional work. So investors got cheated with a scam to over pay executives for a lie and then paid the fine for being victims of that scam. How the fuck about we start sending corrupt executives to jail instead of making the people who pay the wages of the corrupt executives and who got cheated, always ending up paying.
How about comparing edge of windows 10 to Firefox on Ubuntu and then see which is truly faster, no comparison, Firefox on Ubuntu eats the probe alive. The only advantage edge gets is the coding lie, already running in the background whether you use the browser or not (edge prying into your life, even when you run Firefox), just like the lie about faster boots with delayed service start (most applications will simply not run until delayed start services have finally launched). Just more M$ marketing bullshit and you can bet they make sure that Firefox runs as slow as possible on Windows anal probe 10.
You know what you will get with Don Don, a very pissed off and angry President who will likely pursue every single corrupt Democrat and Republican he can and you know, you just know, the more he gets, the louder his crowd will scream and the more Don Don, will pursue the,. There is a good reason the establishment is in panic mode, Don Don, will most probably go through them like roto rooter. Now that will be oh so amusing, watch them scatter overseas like roaches escaping the light, the ugly light, torches and pitchforks, they have good reason to be afraid. Don Don, will pretty much ignore everything else in order to pursue revenge with passion.
To explain why it should be illegal. Hey dude, what are you doing with that bike. Crook cuts lock just as the person attempting to stop them gets close. Now that person trying to uphold the law and protect someone's bike, gets the dose, retching and disorientated stumbles back onto the road and gets run over by a bus. Congratulations the crook that actually cut the lock, took off and received a minimal dose and you just killed someone.
If that is not bad enough for you, kids will be kids and the temptation to wear away at the lock so that it will fail just as you the owner try to unlock it, will be irresistible quite a few naughty children. Speaking of wear and tear, why is it, that you think it would be suitable to sell someone and wear and tear time bomb (you could imagine, bringing your bike in, greeting your family and accidentally dropping an old lock hard enough that the seal breaks and wow, will you family not be happy to see you).
Want to ride your bike to places and not have it stolen, start demanding bike lockers in addition to car parks. So open locker, hook up front wheel to raise the bike in a more compact vertical position, shut locker and insert $1 coin, set combination, timer starts, get back in time or locker opens and advertises bike for sale;). You could squeeze quite a few lockers in two carparks. Counting numbers of customers, 2 inconvenienced to provide for 30 customers and not that expensive, say $250 a locker, last pretty much a life time, apart from the lock:(. What to accelerate installations, demand legislation to require bike lockers at all retail locations (number of bike lockers required per number of car parks, for planning requirements those lockers spaces should still count as car parks, car parks are really expensive to put in, far and away more expensive than most people think). The do really need to be vertical though, so push front wheel onto hook and rotate large counter weighted lever, to raise and rotate bike into vertical position.
Reality is though artificial intelligence is far more likely to go into an effective coma (cyclic loops) rather than plot anything. Failing in the case of artificial intelligence means actual failing, not naughty algorithms. So more along the lines of attempt to perform, fail, attempt to perform, fail and those attempts and failure spreading through out the system. So rather than AI on a plane attempting to crash on purpose, it will simply go into a spreading series of infinite loops, lock up the controls and as a result the plane crashes. So AI would be an extremely bad idea on any critical systems and single controllers are also a stupid idea. Many parallel specific appliances working together is much safer, whilst in conjunction they might appear like AI, whilst in reality they are just carrying out their really tied down functions.
AI's only real use in reality is communicating with us mud monkeys. Conveying out intents to each other, no matter the language and of course allowing us to communicate with the many parrallel appliances (if one appliance goes down you lose one feature, if a central AI goes down you lose everything). So you only really simulate AI with many appliances working together for most uses.
The reason why the AI for communications, well, have you tried telling a computer what to do, have you tried much voice to type, how about using translation services and for the majority just trying to communicate at all with computers. So yeah, he is technically right, AI for most applications is a really bad idea not because they will be naughty, but that they will lock up, leading to system wide failures. We do definitely need AI for communication purposes though (that can also be very badly abused, not by the AI but by those controlling the AI, so hmm).
Shhh but there is a scam buried in all fast chargers. The hotter a lithium battery the shorter it's life, the shorter it's charge time, the more often you fast charge it and the faster it fails. So fast chargers are really kill you fixed in place battery and your phone along with it. Due to the nature of the failure, the decrease in performance starts of slow and then increases over time, you can pretty much design failure straight into the system, at the other end that final die off is going to be pretty fast and guaranteed.
Really legislation should come out to force specific battery sizes, shapes and safety features. This bullshit has to stop.
Dude, maths blunder, you did the calculation in metres and programmed in feet. Doing it the other way means the lander would miss the entire planet by kilometres;).
However although is it quite reasonable to limit immigration and have some pretty stringent testing requirements (physical health, psychological health, employability, ability to communicate), religion is most definitely not one of them, that is really stupid, for one they do not come with a label and two the dangerous ones will lie anyhow. So testing for religion, just plain dumb, mind bogglingly dumb (keep in mind religious fundamentalist will fail the psychological tests and the communications test also tends to exclude problematic individuals). Excluding individuals who are likely (and that is enough just likely no proof required, just the balance of evidence ) to not effectively contribute or have a negative impact upon your society is sufficient reason to exclude them. People who jump the queue should go to the back of the line and those who stuck to the rules should get in first (otherwise the message from you government to potential immigrants is, you stick to the rules and you are a bloody idiot). What should not happen is all the ugly screaming about it.
Facebook can censor whom so ever they wish, as long as they are public about it and do note their political bias and the source (name the individuals) behind that political bias. If they are deceitful about it and intend to push lies as the truth, then their actions should be reviewed by the electoral commission so that their contributions to the campaign can be properly valued to see if they exceed campaign contribution limits.
Proof of that rigging came with the latest claim from the corrupt current administration. Real typical misinformation stuff http://time.com/4539904/fake-v.... Why that story because the US administration is going to hack the election and they wanted to pump out some propaganda about Russian hackers in case they fuck anything up and it is exposed. That's what the bullshit polls are all about as well, main stream media in collusion with the US administration, trying the create the public image of who should win to align with the digital hack of the voting system (they know full well if Trump wins he will have a field day forcing the prosecution of all those who attacked him, the more he can prosecute the happier he will be and he can pretty much decimate the corporate democrats).
Will they fuck it up, of course they will, which is why the story and hence any irregularities will be blamed upon Russian intelligence services (reality the Chinese government are actually doing more hacking but they are sticking to the old system of extorting acceptance of bribes but the US government ain't picking on them because the Government of China are keeping secret their evidence of corruption in the US government, for the time being, they are seeing how much fun exposing corruption and every now and then you do need to demonstrate you will destroy those who fail to obey their instruction when paid to do so, forcing the issue by paying less and demanding more).
Oh my, the current US administration is squirming so bad under the current global spotlight, the mistakes, the clumsiness, all being forced by their panic at the thought of finally being prosecuted for their high crimes, this spreading into both sides of the Congress and Senate, it is all becoming a total farce (those hacks have an extremely high risk of all being exposed by US intelligence services with integrity and that is the real cause of the current panic). The fear is thick in Washington, going through their minds right now, why the fuck did we stick with Clinton, why the fuck did we stick with Clinton, over and over and over again;D (dudes it's not like you weren't warned, the soft landing would have been so much easier for everyone, would have taken longer but less harmful all round).
The propaganda runs thick in this thread. Wikileaks is a website for publishing secrets that should not have been kept, nothing more and nothing less. People either choose to send it information or not and obviously the corrupt hate it. This mind bogglingly dumb attack is pointless, Wikileaks can be replaced again and again and well, realistically tens of thousands of times over. Wake up to your bullshit, they can be a publishing branch of the entire worlds intelligence services or as in reality the publishing branch of government agents from all over the world pissed off with their own governments.
Seriously this shit is so stupid, governments are clearly far more upset that foreign intelligence services are publicly releasing this information rather that in a collusive manner keeping it secret. It seems that corrupt politicians are quite amenable to blackmail for services, as long as a suitably large deposit in a tax haven occurs, for them just business as normal (the business as normal part is when corporate executives paying enormous multi-million dollar bribes throw sex and drug fuelled parties which corrupt politicians are required to attend to demonstrate their active corruption and evidence is retained to ensure compliance, they accept it).
That what all this Democratic party propaganda is about, it is not that the Russian Intelligence Services have this information, it's that they are releasing proof of government corruption to the US public. They do not give one crap, that Russia has this information, they are pissed off the same old, same old does not occur ie we have this evidence of corruption and we will publish it unless you do us some favours in return, the corrupt politicians reply, not a problem but you will have to pay me as well, I will not do it for free, so you can either lose me as an agent of your government or make pay me millions of dollars.
In the most disgusting fashion imaginable, this is exactly what the entirety of US main stream media is cheering on and what the majority of the unrepresentative US government is cheering on and what US Investigatory agencies are really, really pissed off about.
As far as I am concerned keep it coming the more the merrier and for those scum policing agencies who are not using this information to pursue and prosecute the corruption exposed, you soil yourselves and dishonour your service, you become less than nothing. In the most pathetic fashion imaginable you support the corruption of others earning millions upon millions whilst you collect peanuts in return to appear incompetent (you are not even being paid for your corruption, just your regular wage, even when as part of conspiracy that you can bring down, you in the typical corrupt fashion are entitled to a equal share of those millions, so pathetically lame).
Wikileaks should of course not issue instruction to anyone, that is a technical faux pas. The only thing allowed is an editorial with regard to how those working at Wikileaks feel about the digital conflagration. The only public response should be to send more secrets to Wikileaks to be exposed to the public, so the public can start acting upon them and investigate and prosecute the corrupt or at the very least embarrass the crap out of investigatory agencies failing to do their job, failing their oaths and failing their countries, shame, shame, shame.
In that light Wikileaks should send a copy of the information to the applicable agencies and record and display their response, each and every time, information is sent to them regarding corruption, so the public can watch as those agencies corruptly fail to act upon the evidence of corruption provided.
The reality is that when they give bad advice you are not in the bloody room with them to counter it. So the unknowing parent is on their own, taking advice that is contrary to the training given to practitioner to achieve professional licensed status. Also never ever forget, children are not possessions nor are they pets, they are citizens entitled to full protection under law. That protection applies to the proper provision of medical services which both the parent and any practitioner are required to do. To use the car analogy, no one gives a bugger about your opinion of road rules as long as you stick to them. Believe that you are entitled to your own opinion as to how you will drive on roads and you will hopefully soon come undone before you can injure some one else. All licensed professional are actively banned from given bad advice.
In this case a pretty scamming pump up the stock price upon the back of http://www.afr.com/technology/... a 40 billion dollar stock buy back. That is 40 billion dollars fewer shares in the market on top of the impact of buying those shares. So completely bullshit story and as soon as I read it, I did a search for "microsoft stock buyback" because I just knew, so obvious and they also raised their dividend. So that price will drop real quick once the stock buyback runs out and the dividend has been paid.
Keep in mind, not just the US but a whole bunch of countries spending ludicrous amounts on the war black hole, all those investments either thrown away or blown up. Once the leading spender refocuses their excess war spending so the rest will follow, else get left behind, seriously left behind. Governments would suffer huge loss of prestige for failing to participate and effectively, permanently, limiting the future of their society.
Lets be honest, no one wants to increase government budgets, what most would consider reasonable is shifting some of the budget from the War Industrial Complex. Some of that War Industrial Complex spending should also be shifted to infrastructure spending and well, what is development of space but quite simply the building of off earth infrastructure to allow access for humanity, not only to the rest of the solar system but also the galaxy beyond that. It will also not be one nations goal but the majority of democratic nations working together to achieve a goal for the entirety of humanity on this planet.
The comparison of what that exploration provides, is the gap between cave persons and where we are today. So, why leave the cave, why climb past that mountain range, why cross oceans, well, if we hadn't there would still be a tiny number individuals squatting in caves, terrified of all the far more physically capable predators around us and continually under threat of immediate extinction.
It is not destiny, it is just another challenge, just another goal, just another step in working together to become more than what we were. We will either fail or succeed but we will most certainly fail ie extinction inevitable, if we do not try. Personally I see that step next step of becoming a galactic species to be the greatest ever possible achievement of humanity, every other fear pales against it (consider that trillions of species over billions of years did not manage to escape this planetary cocoon and we are now in a position to do so). Humanity on many worlds and scattered throughout the galaxy, writing their history across this galaxy, possibly hundreds of millions of year of it. How can you deny that, in all good conscience, to future generations. This versus turning in on ourselves, squabbling ever more violently over diminishing resources and tearing down this planet down around ourselves.
Look the real problem is not failure, the real problem is malicious hacking of the vehicle and purposefully causing accidents. Not in one vehicle but in millions of exposed vehicles. Not Tesla's fault and certainly not Elon's fault, it is just the way it is. They can buy the car, learn to remotely hack the car and then chaos ensues. Not just for sick fun chaos but insurance scams; over ensure a property, wait for a passing car, hack it and drive it straight into that over insured property, with total disregard for the driver. How do you get past that problem, with a track record of so many hacked for profit devices with total disregard for the victims, really, really problematic. So seriously who can trust a car operating system with all, every single one, operating system in the world required monthly security updates and bug fixes, you can not just ignore reality.
The all new ransom ware. On you heads up display comes the message, hi friend, all your vehicles belong to us, I see you are driving alongside a cliff, take out you mobile phone (info provided by the car with blue tooth connection), and buy bit coins from this location and transfer them or I will drive the car off the cliff with you in it. Do the transaction and over the cliff you go, no witnesses. Unfortunately you have to be able to guarantee to prevent that. Keep in mind unknown mechanics will have full direct physical access to that vehicle. Getting past that hacking will be a huge problem. There is also country to country hacking, where all your vehicles belong to us, is not just a joke.
Did if for twenty years, without getting caught. Than that data was going from one supposedly secure location to another actually secure location. For that period of time without getting busted, very likely a corporate spy and at a guess they were paid by their own corporation to steal that information from the US government for analysis by the multi-national corporation executive team and that corporation was using additional contractors to cover up any accidental exposure, so they are very likely looking for more than one player, over that time probably at least five, with direct executive involvement in those actions (there had to be real motivation to keep on taking that risk over that extended period of time, something like a tax haven retirement package). Likely this could get a lot bigger, especially if those executives individually choose to on sell certain information for personal advantage. Stealing the hardware, well, I suppose just because he could, he thought he was protected and he is a jackass.
Just as a by the by, it is really bad form to "leave all of our electronic equipment on the plane, with the batteries out", for security services. Proper action is basically honey pot burner phones, given just prior to exit in a known track able state, with the user instructed, that every communication on that device will be recorded by foreign and as well as US agents and ensure all incoming communications to the device are routed for auditing to ensure no accidental leaks. As a temporary device communications access channels should be pre-limited. The reason why, obviously, you can now scan the device for hacks because every time a hack is used it risks full exposure and enables counter measures to be taken (this is the direct failure of combining offensive and defensive security operations, something that would be definitely done by defensive only service). What would be better than a mobile honey pot wandering about foreign government facilities. You will also want to pop the battery as soon as possible so a scan can be done in a safe state. I would consider a daily phone swap for analysis to be sound, even changing brands (you might think that well, they know what is going on and ignore the phone but when it comes to the professionally paranoid, they can't, they just can't resist, it might not be a honey pot, it might be an accident, it might capture something anyhow, we need to test hacking methods to see if they can discover them).
'ER' cough , cough, even Hillary Clinton doesn't believe that and I quote "At The State Department We Were Attacked Every Hour, More Than Once An Hour By Incoming Efforts To Penetrate Everything We Had. And That Was True Across The U.S. Government', yet she choose to ignore her own words to keep secret from the rest of the US government what she was doing on her server, knowing full well of hourly attacks on the State Department, she must have had a pretty powerful reason to ignore her own words. Just to confirm 'They're trying to find out about what a lot of companies do and they were going after the personal emails of people who worked in the State Department' (well, hint, hint right there). Now I am sure FBI and NSA agents would be pretty pissed to know she full well knew the risks," And we knew it was going on when I would go to China, or I would go to Russia, we would leave all of our electronic equipment on the plane, with the batteries out, because this is a new frontier" and yet had sufficient motivation to set up unsecured servers, purposefully hidden from other US government agencies.
Now based upon her own statements and knowledge she was knowingly criminally negligent is securing US government secrets, no excuses, full pre knowledge of risk, did not care and long as she could do her secret wheeling and dealing well away from the mostly watchful eyes of the FBI. That is a major crime wilfully negligent in maintaining the security of the US government.
Easy, you no longer use you laptop to play games. Besides you either use a table for the laptop, hence the playstation is not a problem or end up with slowly baked smelly neither regions;). Personally I just want a well behaved operating system, that is not too intrusive and minds my own business and works to keep it that way and it seems M$ is completely and totally incapable of supplying that. So either some inconvenience or take the probe, I'll go with the inconvenience and your choice is the same, the probe or is your privacy really an inconvenience, your choice (for me, throwing away a whole bunch of PC games, well, guess how much custom I will be doing with M$ in the future after that happens).
Diplomacy right over you head isn't it. The Czech authorities are the arresting officers, they are the ones in charge, the FBI is this regard are nobodies, zero authority, just witnesses providing information to the Czech authorities to act upon. It is entirely up to Czech authorities to make public statements ie they arrested someone based upon the evidence provided by foreign witnesses and that then extends out to a Czech legal process to finalise the extradition. You are obviously heavily into American exceptionlism and that is really quite distasteful in the rest of the world. If the evidence is there cool, one less criminal (ten less, thousands less, no matter the nationality, good work by the FBI as long as they can properly prove their case) to deal with on the internet but the Czech authorities are the ones in charge not US witnesses who should have made no public statements but have left that up to Czech authorities (otherwise it looks very much like they are forcing the Czech authorities hand and issuing orders to Czech courts). The way the FBI presented it, is they ordered the Czech authorities and they were required to shut up and obey and that looks really bad and can be made to look a whole lot worse. Your waffle added on top, just makes it look even worse for any Europeans reading it. Also it sounds very much like the did nothing in the interim with regard to communicating with the Russian authorities and that also looks really bad (better to make the request, have it ignored and then take action, rather than insult all Russian investigatory agencies because that will end all possibilities of cooperation, just stupidly arrogantly clumsy, as they can not now point the finger at Russian authorities and state they ignored the issue, needs to be done every time). I suppose all that will also go over your head. You can pretend all you want that Europeans are happy with the US it will not change anything and all other US government agencies carrying on as if American exceptionalism exists outside of America but it will only make things much worse (sure a whole bunch of corrupt European politicians are owned by multinational corporations but that does not reflect in the desires of majority Europeans). PS I am not fucking Russian, if you must know, as it seems to burn your brain I am Croatian Australian (neither have particular fond ties with Russian, not in the least but both can be quite up tight if their authority is not respected within their own country by other countries).

The propaganda runs thick in this thread. Wikileaks is a website for publishing secrets that should not have been kept, nothing more and nothing less. People either choose to send it information or not and obviously the corrupt hate it. This mind bogglingly dumb attack is pointless, Wikileaks can be replaced again and again and well, realistically tens of thousands of times over. Wake up to your bullshit, they can be a publishing branch of the entire worlds intelligence services or as in reality the publishing branch of government agents from all over the world pissed off with their own governments.
Seriously this shit is so stupid, governments are clearly far more upset that foreign intelligence services are publicly releasing this information rather that in a collusive manner keeping it secret. It seems that corrupt politicians are quite amenable to blackmail for services, as long as a suitably large deposit in a tax haven occurs, for them just business as normal (the business as normal part is when corporate executives paying enormous multi-million dollar bribes throw sex and drug fuelled parties which corrupt politicians are required to attend to demonstrate their active corruption and evidence is retained to ensure compliance, they accept it).
That what all this Democratic party propaganda is about, it is not that the Russian Intelligence Services have this information, it's that they are releasing proof of government corruption to the US public. They do not give one crap, that Russia has this information, they are pissed off the same old, same old does not occur ie we have this evidence of corruption and we will publish it unless you do us some favours in return, the corrupt politicians reply, not a problem but you will have to pay me as well, I will not do it for free, so you can either lose me as an agent of your government or make pay me millions of dollars.
In the most disgusting fashion imaginable, this is exactly what the entirety of US main stream media is cheering on and what the majority of the unrepresentative US government is cheering on and what US Investigatory agencies are really, really pissed off about.
As far as I am concerned keep it coming the more the merrier and for those scum policing agencies who are not using this information to pursue and prosecute the corruption exposed, you soil yourselves and dishonour your service, you become less than nothing. In the most pathetic fashion imaginable you support the corruption of others earning millions upon millions whilst you collect peanuts in return to appear incompetent (you are not even being paid for your corruption, just your regular wage, even when as part of conspiracy that you can bring down, you in the typical corrupt fashion are entitled to a equal share of those millions, so pathetically lame).
Wikileaks should of course not issue instruction to anyone, that is a technical faux pas. The only thing allowed is an editorial with regard to how those working at Wikileaks feel about the digital conflagration. The only public response should be to send more secrets to Wikileaks to be exposed to the public, so the public can start acting upon them and investigate and prosecute the corrupt or at the very least embarrass the crap out of investigatory agencies failing to do their job, failing their oaths and failing their countries, shame, shame, shame.
In that light Wikileaks should send a copy of the information to the applicable agencies and record and display their response, each and every time, information is sent to them regarding corruption, so the public can watch as those agencies corruptly fail to act upon the evidence of corruption provided.
The reality is that when they give bad advice you are not in the bloody room with them to counter it. So the unknowing parent is on their own, taking advice that is contrary to the training given to practitioner to achieve professional licensed status. Also never ever forget, children are not possessions nor are they pets, they are citizens entitled to full protection under law. That protection applies to the proper provision of medical services which both the parent and any practitioner are required to do. To use the car analogy, no one gives a bugger about your opinion of road rules as long as you stick to them. Believe that you are entitled to your own opinion as to how you will drive on roads and you will hopefully soon come undone before you can injure some one else. All licensed professional are actively banned from given bad advice.

In this case a pretty scamming pump up the stock price upon the back of http://www.afr.com/technology/... a 40 billion dollar stock buy back. That is 40 billion dollars fewer shares in the market on top of the impact of buying those shares. So completely bullshit story and as soon as I read it, I did a search for "microsoft stock buyback" because I just knew, so obvious and they also raised their dividend. So that price will drop real quick once the stock buyback runs out and the dividend has been paid.
Keep in mind, not just the US but a whole bunch of countries spending ludicrous amounts on the war black hole, all those investments either thrown away or blown up. Once the leading spender refocuses their excess war spending so the rest will follow, else get left behind, seriously left behind. Governments would suffer huge loss of prestige for failing to participate and effectively, permanently, limiting the future of their society.
Lets be honest, no one wants to increase government budgets, what most would consider reasonable is shifting some of the budget from the War Industrial Complex. Some of that War Industrial Complex spending should also be shifted to infrastructure spending and well, what is development of space but quite simply the building of off earth infrastructure to allow access for humanity, not only to the rest of the solar system but also the galaxy beyond that. It will also not be one nations goal but the majority of democratic nations working together to achieve a goal for the entirety of humanity on this planet.
The comparison of what that exploration provides, is the gap between cave persons and where we are today. So, why leave the cave, why climb past that mountain range, why cross oceans, well, if we hadn't there would still be a tiny number individuals squatting in caves, terrified of all the far more physically capable predators around us and continually under threat of immediate extinction.
It is not destiny, it is just another challenge, just another goal, just another step in working together to become more than what we were. We will either fail or succeed but we will most certainly fail ie extinction inevitable, if we do not try. Personally I see that step next step of becoming a galactic species to be the greatest ever possible achievement of humanity, every other fear pales against it (consider that trillions of species over billions of years did not manage to escape this planetary cocoon and we are now in a position to do so). Humanity on many worlds and scattered throughout the galaxy, writing their history across this galaxy, possibly hundreds of millions of year of it. How can you deny that, in all good conscience, to future generations. This versus turning in on ourselves, squabbling ever more violently over diminishing resources and tearing down this planet down around ourselves.
Look the real problem is not failure, the real problem is malicious hacking of the vehicle and purposefully causing accidents. Not in one vehicle but in millions of exposed vehicles. Not Tesla's fault and certainly not Elon's fault, it is just the way it is. They can buy the car, learn to remotely hack the car and then chaos ensues. Not just for sick fun chaos but insurance scams; over ensure a property, wait for a passing car, hack it and drive it straight into that over insured property, with total disregard for the driver. How do you get past that problem, with a track record of so many hacked for profit devices with total disregard for the victims, really, really problematic. So seriously who can trust a car operating system with all, every single one, operating system in the world required monthly security updates and bug fixes, you can not just ignore reality.
The all new ransom ware. On you heads up display comes the message, hi friend, all your vehicles belong to us, I see you are driving alongside a cliff, take out you mobile phone (info provided by the car with blue tooth connection), and buy bit coins from this location and transfer them or I will drive the car off the cliff with you in it. Do the transaction and over the cliff you go, no witnesses. Unfortunately you have to be able to guarantee to prevent that. Keep in mind unknown mechanics will have full direct physical access to that vehicle. Getting past that hacking will be a huge problem. There is also country to country hacking, where all your vehicles belong to us, is not just a joke.
Did if for twenty years, without getting caught. Than that data was going from one supposedly secure location to another actually secure location. For that period of time without getting busted, very likely a corporate spy and at a guess they were paid by their own corporation to steal that information from the US government for analysis by the multi-national corporation executive team and that corporation was using additional contractors to cover up any accidental exposure, so they are very likely looking for more than one player, over that time probably at least five, with direct executive involvement in those actions (there had to be real motivation to keep on taking that risk over that extended period of time, something like a tax haven retirement package). Likely this could get a lot bigger, especially if those executives individually choose to on sell certain information for personal advantage. Stealing the hardware, well, I suppose just because he could, he thought he was protected and he is a jackass.
Just as a by the by, it is really bad form to "leave all of our electronic equipment on the plane, with the batteries out", for security services. Proper action is basically honey pot burner phones, given just prior to exit in a known track able state, with the user instructed, that every communication on that device will be recorded by foreign and as well as US agents and ensure all incoming communications to the device are routed for auditing to ensure no accidental leaks. As a temporary device communications access channels should be pre-limited. The reason why, obviously, you can now scan the device for hacks because every time a hack is used it risks full exposure and enables counter measures to be taken (this is the direct failure of combining offensive and defensive security operations, something that would be definitely done by defensive only service). What would be better than a mobile honey pot wandering about foreign government facilities. You will also want to pop the battery as soon as possible so a scan can be done in a safe state. I would consider a daily phone swap for analysis to be sound, even changing brands (you might think that well, they know what is going on and ignore the phone but when it comes to the professionally paranoid, they can't, they just can't resist, it might not be a honey pot, it might be an accident, it might capture something anyhow, we need to test hacking methods to see if they can discover them).
'ER' cough , cough, even Hillary Clinton doesn't believe that and I quote "At The State Department We Were Attacked Every Hour, More Than Once An Hour By Incoming Efforts To Penetrate Everything We Had. And That Was True Across The U.S. Government', yet she choose to ignore her own words to keep secret from the rest of the US government what she was doing on her server, knowing full well of hourly attacks on the State Department, she must have had a pretty powerful reason to ignore her own words. Just to confirm 'They're trying to find out about what a lot of companies do and they were going after the personal emails of people who worked in the State Department' (well, hint, hint right there). Now I am sure FBI and NSA agents would be pretty pissed to know she full well knew the risks," And we knew it was going on when I would go to China, or I would go to Russia, we would leave all of our electronic equipment on the plane, with the batteries out, because this is a new frontier" and yet had sufficient motivation to set up unsecured servers, purposefully hidden from other US government agencies.
Now based upon her own statements and knowledge she was knowingly criminally negligent is securing US government secrets, no excuses, full pre knowledge of risk, did not care and long as she could do her secret wheeling and dealing well away from the mostly watchful eyes of the FBI. That is a major crime wilfully negligent in maintaining the security of the US government.

Easy, you no longer use you laptop to play games. Besides you either use a table for the laptop, hence the playstation is not a problem or end up with slowly baked smelly neither regions ;). Personally I just want a well behaved operating system, that is not too intrusive and minds my own business and works to keep it that way and it seems M$ is completely and totally incapable of supplying that. So either some inconvenience or take the probe, I'll go with the inconvenience and your choice is the same, the probe or is your privacy really an inconvenience, your choice (for me, throwing away a whole bunch of PC games, well, guess how much custom I will be doing with M$ in the future after that happens).
Diplomacy right over you head isn't it. The Czech authorities are the arresting officers, they are the ones in charge, the FBI is this regard are nobodies, zero authority, just witnesses providing information to the Czech authorities to act upon. It is entirely up to Czech authorities to make public statements ie they arrested someone based upon the evidence provided by foreign witnesses and that then extends out to a Czech legal process to finalise the extradition. You are obviously heavily into American exceptionlism and that is really quite distasteful in the rest of the world. If the evidence is there cool, one less criminal (ten less, thousands less, no matter the nationality, good work by the FBI as long as they can properly prove their case) to deal with on the internet but the Czech authorities are the ones in charge not US witnesses who should have made no public statements but have left that up to Czech authorities (otherwise it looks very much like they are forcing the Czech authorities hand and issuing orders to Czech courts). The way the FBI presented it, is they ordered the Czech authorities and they were required to shut up and obey and that looks really bad and can be made to look a whole lot worse. Your waffle added on top, just makes it look even worse for any Europeans reading it. Also it sounds very much like the did nothing in the interim with regard to communicating with the Russian authorities and that also looks really bad (better to make the request, have it ignored and then take action, rather than insult all Russian investigatory agencies because that will end all possibilities of cooperation, just stupidly arrogantly clumsy, as they can not now point the finger at Russian authorities and state they ignored the issue, needs to be done every time). I suppose all that will also go over your head. You can pretend all you want that Europeans are happy with the US it will not change anything and all other US government agencies carrying on as if American exceptionalism exists outside of America but it will only make things much worse (sure a whole bunch of corrupt European politicians are owned by multinational corporations but that does not reflect in the desires of majority Europeans). PS I am not fucking Russian, if you must know, as it seems to burn your brain I am Croatian Australian (neither have particular fond ties with Russian, not in the least but both can be quite up tight if their authority is not respected within their own country by other countries).
