Right, so you are saying that malwarebytes is a trojan? How do you know it wasn't a trojan installed by Malwarebytes itself? Did you see the source code and verify it didn't install one?
Malwarebytes is closed source software. It could literally be doing anything to your system. You have no control over it, or what it does. So you basically are trusting some corporation.
Disregarding the political/moral issues, the idea of using a closed source messaging app and expecting it to be secure is incredibly stupid. Closed source software can literally be doing anything. It could be sending your photos, text, passwords, anything to anyone. People need to learn that closed source software is not secure, especially when it runs on a device connected to the Internet.
I thought the first humans didn't leave Africa until about 60,000 years ago. This has been stated authoritatively again and again. Now it seems it is 117,000 years to 194,000 years. What an error rate. My guess is the methods they are using for dating materials is a complete joke, but no one likes to admit it.
Exactly. There isn't anything they can do. Just take your old $1000 CPU and throw in it in the trash and get a new $1000 CPU when they come out. I don't know what everyone is complaining about?
We are close to the end of digital computers. Moore's Law is already dead, you just didn't notice. All of these advances are dependent on ever increasing processing rates. Companies can "look at" whatever they want. It doesn't make things magically happen.
Oh yes the old "well I have an iPhone now that can talk to me" argument. I used to have a computer that only had 4k memory and now it has 16 gigabytes! Wow, in 20 years imagine how many gigabytes I will have!!!! Progress is NOT inevitable. The next generation of processors when they are introduced are going to be SLOWER than the previous generation (thanks Intel).
I think they believe that they can make good VC money working on autonomous cars because they think it is cool and want to avoid real work, and the tech industry is swamped with excess money. They should start spending that money on projects that actually improve technology, rather than chasing projects that will never work and we don't need. Are we suddenly going to run out of people that drive cars and trucks? How about spending money on fixing the huge security holes in our software? Too boring and too much like real work. We would rather discuss going to Mars and AI.
Exactly. More stupidity. But "an autonomous police cruiser seems like the logical conclusion to the development self-driving car" according to the blog. Sure.
Enough. There will never be autonomous cars. We aren't able to build a system complex enough to handle a task like that. We can barely even create regular programs that are reliable. Moores law is DEAD, and digital computers have reached close to their peak processing power. There will be no breakthroughs in digital computers that will change that - we are bound by the laws of Physics here. So just stop with all the nonsense.
The difference is that amusements parks aren't critical for modern life. Also, many areas there might be one choice for Internet provider. So no, not "common practice".
You are kidding, right? Sensors are used everywhere in industry. The idea is that if you can fool a sensor, you can control entire industrial systems. For example, blow up a power plant.
that if there's a disaster and the Yondr system goes down and all the lights go out and I need to call home and I can't be without my phone because reasons and disaster and my rights and oh noes and I need an Uber car and my kids must be able to reach me and did I mention active shooter and what do I do if there's a disaster

Sounds like you shouldn't be allowed to use a computer since you don't "know" what it is doing.
Why? Is it not possible to run FOSS and non-FOSS on the same system? Interesting!
Right, so you are saying that malwarebytes is a trojan? How do you know it wasn't a trojan installed by Malwarebytes itself? Did you see the source code and verify it didn't install one?
Maybe. What does Malwarebytes do? It could be doing anything. That is the point.
How do you know it wasn't a trojan? Did you examine the source code?

Not sure what you are smoking but https://www.seattletimes.com/s...
This has been happening for years. Adorable that you think your llicense plate is private though!
Backed by angel investors AND 500 Startups? Must be pretty important. Does it have a Blockchain? If not, I'm less interested. But it is AI right?
Uh, it is called "adblock" or "ublock origin". Why wouldn't you block the ads itself?

Our CPUs cannot be fixed with software. You are going to need to buy a new CPU.
Modern cars already have telemetry that sends data back. Where have you been?

In America you have to pay for Internet from places like McDonalds. It is typically pretty cheap, like $10 per visit.
Global warming and ocean acidification are other reasons.

According to Apple it is $29. They are offering $29 battery replacements. Apparently you didn't know.
